Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 470
"His Majesty!"

"His Majesty!"

Lu Lian shivered when he bowed down, and was about to bow down.

"Father-in-law, you are all from your own family, so there is no need to be formal!"

Qin Shao wanted to laugh.

He thinks that he has always been kind to Lu Lianxian, but now this person looks sincere and fearful every time. He somewhat misses Lu Lianxian's wanton and unscrupulous character when he was in Anlu Prefecture.

Zhu Youzhu went to play with his grandchildren.

When people are old, they will show warm love for children, which is the so-called next-generation relative.

When his own child was young, Zhu Youzhao had never been so amiable.

In the final analysis, when a person is young, he yearns for the outside world infinitely, focusing on his career and not on his family.

As I get older and experience changes in the world, everything begins to look away and return to my heart.

Qin Shao greeted Lu Lianxian to sit down, and talked about the work of the five cities' soldiers and horses, and the issue of city gate deployment.

"It is said that you should be allowed to lead the army to realize your early ambitions, but you are now too old..."

Qin Shao received it inadvertently.

In the early years, Lu Lianxian got excited when he talked about fighting. He still remembers Lu Lianxian's brave posture during the defense of Anlu Prefecture.

"Your Majesty is absurd! I have a quick temper, and I don't like the work of civil servants that requires brains. In the early years, I was just complaining! Now that I am old, my legs and feet are not very good. Going to the frontier is probably just adding to the chaos. The corpse is a vegetarian meal." Now in this Bingma Division, it is very pleasant to lead people to patrol the city every day. This job is very suitable for the minister! The minister is not very capable, but it is still possible to maintain the law and order of the capital, but one day people dare to come Offender, I'm just old, it's not a problem to kill a few Man Meng..."

Lu Lianxian said hastily.

Today is considered an outing for the royal private family, so Lu Zhong naturally couldn't follow him. When Lu Lian offered it, his loyal servant Lu Zhong repeatedly told his master to keep a low profile, be cautious in words and deeds, and lower his own estimate very, very low.

"Crying children have milk! Lord, the more you deliberately wrong yourself, the more the new emperor will think we are pitiful and sensible, and the more they will give us!"

Lu Lianxian had already gone out, and Lu Zhong was still shouting after him.

Provoking Lu Lianxian to scold him for a while.

However, Lu Lianxian has an advantage, that is, although he speaks badly and impatiently, he is very attentive to other people's opinions.

"Your Majesty, my father is not young anymore. Eldest brother is still in his hometown and cannot be filial to him. Now it is almost the end of the year. Eldest brother wants to come to Beijing to visit his father to show his filial piety. It has been several years since I have seen him."

Han Jinrong said from the side.

"Eh? Why didn't you say it sooner? Family reunion is a blessing in the world. How can the two places be separated? Hurry up and send a letter to let their family go to Beijing quickly, so as not to delay the New Year reunion. By the way, I heard that my brother-in-law is good at it, Wang Yin, do you have a place there?"

Qin Shao looked at Wang Yin.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to mobilize the troops so much. Lu Huan is just a warrior. He works in the guards, and the guards in Jinyi are all His Majesty. The people around him are very capable... I just thought that if he came, if he had no errands, he would serve as a soldier in the five cities." Just as a small guard..."

Lu Lianxian said hastily.

"Jin Yiwei has always been short of people, but they are all running errands, I don't know..."

Wang Yin glanced at Qin Shao, understood, and said immediately.

"Don't be in a hurry, elder brother has not yet arrived in the capital. Although the salary of the soldiers and horses of the five cities is not high, the work is leisurely. The salary of Jin Yiwei is quite good, but the work is relatively heavy and the ability requirements are also high. Everyone's choice is different, and After the eldest brother comes, it depends on his own choice, and he must find a job that he likes and suits, so that the work will go smoothly."

Han Jinrong stepped up and said.

She said this to give everyone room to change, Lu Lianxian looked gratefully at Han Jinrong, the "daughter".

Lu Zhong said that although the queen is not his own daughter, they are all bound together now, and it is better to not be a real daughter than to be a real daughter. As long as they don't estrange themselves from the queen, do things that are too outrageous, and discuss everything, they must be taken care of .

Sure enough!

I like to listen to the Queen's words, and just decide what makes sense, and just follow what the Queen said.

After a few days, someone in the palace directly bought the house next door that Lu Lianxian liked and sent it to the mansion, and sent someone to help pick up the eldest son's family, this is of course a later story.

……

Long Live Mountain tossed for a day, and everyone returned to the palace.

Zhu Youzhu took Wang Tu and others to the manor in the suburbs of Beijing.

Qin Shao originally wanted him to enter the palace to have a look, but he said that it was like a prison. He had lived there for more than ten years, and it was not unusual. He still felt comfortable living in the manor in the capital.

Qin Shao thought that the old concubine was still in the manor, so he could only follow his will. The children were very clingy to Zhu Youtang, so Qin Shao simply asked Han Jinrong to take them to the manor.

His wife and children have gone to the manor, and Qin Shao's life will look a little quieter.

"Grandpa, An Yongzhen said that they had newly killed some pheasants and rabbits, and they are going to have a barbecue in the yard. Do you want to go?"

The second day was busy all morning, after lunch at noon, after reading some excerpts, Qin Shao felt a little bored.

During the three-day holiday of the Double Ninth Festival, all the officials were on vacation. Considering that the outside is also lively at the moment, Qin Shao's work enthusiasm is somewhat reduced.

There are a lot of things to be busy recently. The examination in the spring of next year will be held, and he needs to make a decision on the invigilator and the appointment of the prime minister's officials.

In addition, after the first year of the Martial Arts Examination, it will also be carried out simultaneously. The layout of the examination room, the overall planning of the examination content, etc. will be submitted for him to make decisions.

So, even though the Double Ninth Festival was off for three days, after returning from Long Live Mountain yesterday, he had already started reviewing those papers.

In addition, the inspection of private ships that need to go to sea along the coast has been completed. When to go to sea and how to manage them in a regular manner, the municipal ship divisions of various places have submitted their opinions and strategies, and he needs to give instructions.

grandma's!
The higher the position of a person, the heavier the responsibility on the body, Qin Shao finally understood the reason for this statement.

Wang Yin seemed to see his melancholy.

Working together for so many years, Wang Yin knew Qin Shao very well, and knew that the emperor was a little bored and depressed.

Because of the status of the emperor and the busy work now, the group of people who used to eat and drink together did not dare to invite Qin Shao easily when they encountered delicious food and drink. Wang Yin was often invited, but he only went because of the situation.

At least that person has no plot or selfishness, and will not have any influence on the new emperor. This is Wang Yin's bottom line.

An Yongzhen is one of them. He is informal and doesn't think too much. Now he manages the Jinghua Tea House, and in his free time he writes scripts or hunts in the mountains. He often arouses Qin Shao's envy these days.

Two days ago, he got some wild animals, and just happened to meet Wang Yin again, so he invited him over for a barbecue and a few drinks along the way.

After Zhang Cong and others had their own houses, Qin Shao's original house was vacant, but there were still people cleaning it up every day.

An Yongzhen also bought a house, which happened to be not far from Qin Shao's original house, and would occasionally go to the house over there to look after it.

Because his status has not changed, and he doesn't care much about the affairs of the court, but he has become an object of no burden for the people around him to associate with. During leisure and holidays, many people gather in the house, which is very lively.

"He's living a timid life!"

Qin Shao couldn't help sighing.

"It's really timid!"

Wang Yin also laughed.

"Lin Tong came back from Datong. I thought I would arrive before the Double Ninth Festival. I didn't want the road to be bad, and I took the old lady with me. I only arrived this morning. I thought I would come to see you first. I was thinking of you last night. Sleeping late, let him come later, he brought back a lot of special products from Datong, and I have already put them in the warehouse."

Wang Yin continued to report back.

Although Lin Tong is now serving as the chief soldier in Datong, my old lady has been in the capital since the beginning, and only took over last year.

I thought that the reunion of mother and child would be a happy thing, but the old lady didn't know if she was used to living in the capital, but she was not acclimatized in Datong. After going there for more than half a year, she had diarrhea and felt uncomfortable, and she couldn't tell why even after asking a doctor to see her.

When Qin Shao heard the news, he wondered if the old lady was not acclimatized, so he asked Lin Tong to bring the old lady back to live for a while and report on his work.

Speaking of debriefing, Qin Shao understands Lin Tong's personality. This person has an upright personality. As long as he believes in someone, he is usually loyal and unambiguous and serious in doing things.

It's just that I haven't seen him for a long time, and I want him to come back and have a look.

Although he and Lin Tong are basically in a life-and-death relationship, to Lin Tong, Qin Shao is the second parent. Without Qin Shao, he would have been belching in the southern prison long ago!
But this close relationship between monarch and minister is like a friend and a superior-subordinate relationship. It is not good to be too close, but if you do not communicate often, there will often be estrangement, and the degree of grasp is very important.

"Let Lin Tong also go to An Yongzhen's, and have a few drinks together in the evening. By the way, let Wang Yun go too."

Qin Shao laughed.

Although there are many considerations about his current identity, it is naturally very joyful to meet again comrades who have experienced risks in the same trench.

Wang Yin asked Lin Tong and Wang Yun to be notified, and he led people to follow Qin Shao to An Yongzhen's residence.

Although it was a holiday, the streets and alleys of the capital were extremely lively.

The streets are full of traffic, the shops on both sides of the street are full of customers, and the small businesses and hawkers on the side of the road are also very lively.

Because of the holiday, there are many more consumers than usual, which reminds Qin Shao of the golden holiday in his previous life.

Life is stable, people are willing to spend money, and the economy will develop and prosper if the money is revived. This is the path.

The opening of the night market in the capital city has formed a habit of consumption in the capital, and it has become a fashion to improve life and go out for shopping during holidays.

Qin Shao saw that there were also many women on the street. Although they were wearing veiled hats, they could come out to spend on women's festivals. Compared with many places, the capital of Ming Dynasty is much more civilized.

Under Qin Shao's guidance, Queen Han Jinrong took the lead, and the Beijing Women's School is now also opened.

Because of the queen's guidance, women's entry into the school was gradually accepted.

Qin Shao didn't rush forward and asked those girls to learn some advanced ideas. Han Jinrong and the others took the lead in formulating the curriculum, and he only gave simple advice.

In the end, the women's school decided on literacy (three-character classic), filial piety (basically a collection of books about filial piety, diligence and housekeeping), manual needlework, female physiology, infant care, and medical health.

The latter two are courses that Qin Shao joined. Although Daming has a more dirty and conservative atmosphere than Tang, women are not without rights and status, they are completely vassals.

At least in this dynasty, normal families where women marry more or less have a certain dowry. The dowry of women will be recorded on the throne, and the rich family will even go to the relevant government departments for justice.

Ordinary families will also ask the head of the village or the elders of the family to sign and authenticate.

Once the husband and wife disagree and divorce, the woman has the right to take away her property.

The family properties taken away are naturally real estate, such as land, shops, and precious utensils. In fact, it is equivalent to protecting women's rights to a certain extent.

As for the female physiology class, the reason why Qin Shao gave up this class was not to make it as straightforward as in his previous life, but to popularize some knowledge about women's health.

In terms of women's health knowledge and infant care, Qin Shao's consideration is of course the population of Ming Dynasty.

Population is the biggest dividend for the development of a country.

There are many problems in the development of Ming Dynasty. Qin Shao thinks that the biggest problem is the population problem. With talents, everything can develop.

Although there are many births in this era, after all, there are no more so-called external measures to avoid having children, and there are relatively few entertainment items.

Ordinary people, who have no other entertainment after dark, can't avoid making children in bed.

It's just that it's not difficult to make a child, the difficulty is the survival rate of the child.

The mortality rate of children in this age is quite high!
In addition to the willingness of medical conditions, a large reason is that people do not have much scientific parenting methods for raising children.

To do all of this well, we must first start with women's education.

The Beijing Women's School not only teaches women to learn various knowledge, but also advances to the school.

That is to upgrade the exam after studying the courses. There are two paths, one is to become a female medical officer, and the other is to be a teacher in a girls' school.

To tell the truth, getting a woman out of the house is not an easy task.

The queen took the lead in organizing the school, and let the princess take the lead in studying. Of course, many noble girls participated, but some wealthy families in the capital could not accept being admitted to the medical center as female medical officers and teachers for the time being.

In the eyes of the rich and powerful, daughters are well-cultivated objects for marriage. They usually manage the back house and carry on the family line. Naturally, they cannot accept women to go out to work for the time being.

However, Qin Shao and the others are not too eager. It is only the second year of the school now, and it is not bad to have many girls participating.

Even though noble girls are repelled from going out to do things, many women from common people's homes are eager to try this kind of promotion.

Because there are women's medical clinics set up in the school, and there are female doctors with medical skills recruited by the queen from the people. The salaries of these female doctors and female teachers are very generous, which are basically the same as the salaries of low-level officials, and they usually have a lot of subsidies.

It is unthinkable in this era that women can earn as much as men.

For ordinary families, making money and living is the most important thing. As long as money attracts them, they will naturally be willing.

For this reason, the scale of the Beijing Women's School is getting bigger and bigger.

"That bakery is good, let's buy some pastries!"

Qin Shao saw that there were many people at the door of a pastry shop, and fragrant pastries drifted over from time to time.

He remembered that An Yongzhen's uncle was living with them now, and he was getting older, so he should like soft and fragrant pastries, and it would be good to bring some over. The old man was also very warm to him when he was in Anlu Prefecture.

Wang Yin nodded, and the two walked towards the pastry shop.

Passing through the crowd, Qin Shao wanted to see what kind of cakes they had. In the past, Han Jinrong often asked the palace people to buy the cakes from this shop privately, saying that they were delicious.

"Catch him, don't let this kid get away! Catch him quickly!"

A loud shout suddenly came from the crowd.

Following the shouts, a thin figure suddenly shot out of the crowd like an arrow that had left the string.
