    ?

    There are snowflakes in the sky again.

    The green brick corridor in the courtyard of the study outside the Marshal's Mansion was originally cleaned, but now it has fallen a thin layer of snow soon.

    Zhang Xiyu stood on the porch wearing a mink fur jacket, leisurely looking at the fluttering snowflakes and the red plums blooming in the snow outside the red-painted railing.

    The rest of the guards stood far away under the corridors on the east, west and east sides, not getting close.

    ? In the outer study, the young Ganzhou Jiedu Envoy Lin Yurun was talking with his aide Hu Yongzheng.

    ? Hu Yongzhi is about fifty years old, with a thin body and an ordinary appearance, but his eyes are extremely clear.

    Fifteen years ago, Hu Yongzhi first became prime minister, and with the support of Emperor Cheng'an, he began to carry out reforms, but because of too strong opposition forces, the reforms failed, and Hu Yongzhi resigned from office and went into seclusion.

    ? Two years ago, Emperor Cheng'an went out of Beijing in disguise, visited Hu Yongzhi in person, and asked him to come out to teach his nephew Lin Yurun.

    ? In order to repay the kindness of Emperor An's knowledge, Hu Yongzhi has been doing his best to teach and accompany Lin Yurun.

    Lin Yurun personally brought a cup of tea to Hu Yongzhi: "Mr. Hu, drink some tea to soothe your throat!"

    Hu Yongzhi took a sip of the teacup, looked up at Lin Yurun, and saw that he was looking at him with clear eyes, waiting for him to give a lecture, his expression was extremely focused, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.  A dialogue in ":

    Taifu Xie asked all his nephews: "How do you pre-empt personnel affairs, but just want to make them better?" No one has anything to say.  Che Qi replied: "For example, Zhilan Yushu, I want it to grow in the ears of the courtyard."

    Thinking of this, Hu Yongzhi thought to himself: Why do I always want to teach Ah Qin well?  In fact, it is like the precious plants such as Zhilan Yushu, I also want to make them grow in my garden!

    He put down the teacup, smiled slightly, and asked, "Ah Qin, what do you think was the reason for the demise of the previous dynasty?"

    Lin Yurun frowned slightly when she heard the words: "Sir, when Cai Xiang was teaching me in the imperial study, he asserted that the previous dynasty died of natural disasters, but I always thought it was not that simple, so I looked through the classics.  I have drawn different conclusions from my notes and county annals from various places.¡±

    Hu Yongzhi's expression remained unchanged: "Let's hear it!"

    After all, Lin Yurun is only sixteen years old, and she can't be as calm as a mountain.

    He suppressed the restlessness in his heart, got up and walked to the window, pushed open the mahogany lattice window, looked at the snowflakes flying outside, and said slowly: "Sir, I think the reason for the demise of the previous dynasty was due to the dual effects of internal and external factors. Internal factors  In the last years of the former dynasty, those big landlords, businessmen and bureaucrats colluded together to reduce taxes on themselves, but to raise taxes on the people, which enriched themselves but impoverished the country and the people; the external cause was the discovery of a large number of silver mines in overseas countries.  , used the money to buy silk and tea in our country, so that in the fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River, a large number of farmlands were converted into mulberry tea, which caused the grain production to decrease year by year, so that a natural disaster that was not considered serious could not be resisted  "

    He sneered and said: "Everyone talks about benevolence, righteousness and morality, but what they do is compete with the people for their own benefit and selfishness. Don't you know that there will be an egg under the collapse of the nest! How can a country have such a person who holds the power of the country?"  The principle of immortality!"

    Hu Yongzhi sat there quietly, his eyes moistened unknowingly - he just saw the deep crisis hidden under the prosperity of the Great Zhou Dynasty back then, and this was the inspiration for reform!

    Lin Yurun looked out the window.

    The yard was empty, only Zhang Xiyu stood on the porch, and the rest stood far away.

    Lin Yurun turned to look at Hu Yongzhi, and lowered her voice a little: "Sir, the Great Zhou Dynasty lasted for hundreds of years, and countless merchants made a fortune through trading with overseas silk, tea and porcelain. It took them a hundred years to spend  Money trains their children to study in imperial examinations, enter official careers, and then continue to use the gold and silver in their hands to quickly promote, control the official department and Yushitai, and finally spread their people all over the court. The representatives of these people are the Zhang family and  Tsai"

    Hu Yongzhi's eyes shone brightly: "Ah Qin, what is your plan for these?"

    Lin Yurun smiled slightly, and said four words: "Lian Cai Kangzhang, reform the imperial examination."

    Hu Yongzhi couldn't help laughing: "Ah Qin, don't worry, take your time, you are only sixteen years old, you have plenty of time."

    Lin Yurun laughed: "Sir, we have plenty of time."

    He is not satisfied with being a conservative king, he wants to relieve the deadly crisis hidden in the prosperity of Dazhou in the prosperous age of singing and dancing!

    After Hu Yongzhi left, Zhang Xiyu stood there and began to direct: "Serve the commander to clean his hands first, hurry up!"

    Another group of people was commanded: "Hurry up and bring in the commander's lunch!"

    Lin Yurun cleaned her hands with fragrant soap and carved scrolls on huanghuali wood.Han Xing brought two servants to bring the rewards from the Marshal's Mansion.

    Seeing this, Yuzhi thought for a while, and asked the servants to take the felt bag directly to the east wing where she lived, and rewarded the two servants with a few pieces of silver.

    Seeing that she was preoccupied, Han Xing didn't say much, but said: "We'll discuss things tomorrow when we meet tomorrow!"

    Yuzhi looked at Han Xing, and finally pursed her lips and smiled: "I'll talk about the details when I see you tomorrow!"

    After Han Xing left, Chen Yaozu and Wang Shi also came over: "Yuzhi, what is this?"

    Yuzhi was opening the felt bag, and when she saw it, she raised her head and smiled: "Father, mother, wait for me to see it!"

    She opened the felt bag, and found that inside were two pieces of Songjiang Kuoji plain plain white satin, two bolts of sapphire satin, two bolts of bright red multicolored flower-wrapped lotus pattern satin, and ten catties of high-quality clear water sponge¡ªno wonder the felt bag was so big,  It turned out to hold so many things!

    Wang's eyes lit up, squatting down to caress carefully, and kept admiring: "Oh, these are all good things, mother has never seen such good things in this life!"

    He added: "These white silk and clear water cotton can be used to make four sets of light and warm white silk jackets, the royal blue satin can be made into two skirts, and the bright red multicolored makeup and lotus pattern satin can be made into a robe with full sleeves and a bijia  Our girls have all the clothes for the Chinese New Year this year!"

    Yuzhi also guessed Ah Qin's thoughts, probably because Ah Qin saw that her clothes were too rough last night, so she ordered someone to bring this.

    She inexplicably felt a little sour, and thought to herself: Could this be the mother-child bond that people say

    After a while, Yuzhi said in a hoarse voice: "Mother, just do as you said. I will call the tailor over tomorrow, otherwise you will work too hard!"

    At first, Wang wanted to say that she could do it, but after thinking about it, she realized that the New Year was not far away, and these clothes really couldn't be made, so she said, "I'll also make a white silk jacket for your father and A Bao, and there are some old ones at home.  The silk and satin rewarded by Mr. Xu will also make new clothes for your father and Abao for the New Year!"

    Yuzhi got up, and suddenly hugged her mother, Wang Shi, and put her face on Wang Shi's shoulder.

    Mrs. Wang laughed: "You child, you are still acting like a baby at such an age!"

    Chen Yaozu and A Bao also laughed.

    Yuzhi got up before dawn the next day, arranged the stewed meat to be a bucket of chicken, and then took a hasty shower, changed into clean clothes, and took A Bao out to find Han Xing.

    She is going to go to the store with Sun He today, and she has agreed that Han Xing will go with her, so she can feel relieved.

    It didn't snow today, but it was colder than yesterday. Han Xing came out wearing a leather jacket, and was still stamping his feet in the cold.

    Seeing that Yuzhi and Abao were still wearing wool green cotton padded clothes as yesterday, he smiled and said, "Aren't you cold?"

    Yuzhi smiled and looked at Han Xing: "We are young and have great firepower, unlike some old people who dress like cotton bags!"

    Ah Bao laughed.

    The "old man" Han Xing also laughed, and the three of them walked towards the Gaosheng Inn together.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
