Chapter 219 Perseverance

"My mother, these are gifts to my son from all over the world. If my son wants to respect his mother first, do you see if you like it?"

Bai Jingyuan was holding this silk book in a regular manner, his face full of warm smiles.

Ren Xiu was very satisfied with such a son and hoped that he would keep it up. Even if she didn't need these things, she would feel very happy.

This is the taste of power! No matter how unhappy it is, you can only hold it in!

"Idiot! If you have a gift from all over the world, I will definitely be able to use this gift from my mother. I guess it's all you like, so I'd better keep it for yourself!"

"Hehe, the mother is not curious. After the son succeeds to the throne, will those people give their son a New Year gift? What will they give?"

Ren Xiu had already obtained the specific gift list. Seeing his appearance of offering treasures, Ren Xiu still held back and said curiously: "Oh? What are they?"

Bai Jingyuan then opened the book and pointed to one of the pages: "The one who knows me the most is Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang knew that he was greedy and specially sent many live Qishui fish, which were thousands of miles away. This is not easy!"

Smart people always like to think more, while another smart person deliberately says this just to make her think more.

Knowing that he was going to mess with Qi Shui Zhang again, Ren Xiu had a headache and just pretended not to understand: "What's so strange about this? I don't have enough food and drink on weekdays."

In addition to the food and drink in the palace, the palace also sends people to purchase it, and there are also royal private property, which is a specialty sent from all over the country. This fish is really nothing strange.

"That's different! My son is young and my mother raises her son. No matter how much she spends, it's rare for others to pay for her son like this."

This child has always been sweet-mouthed, and the servants around him love him very much. Ren Xiu watched the servants around him who were ignorant of the inside story laughing, and had to laugh with him.

"What about the others? You are thinking about the fish. Could it be that all the food you gave you?"

Although I know that the king is good at food, not every local official has the courage to only deliver ingredients to the king.

If you want to do it like Qi Shui and Zhang, unless they can also sleep with the king like Zhang Weng.

Bai Jingyuan didn't think she would care about such trivial matters, so she didn't know that she had read the gift list and just thought she really didn't know.

"Do you still remember the magistrate of Qushang County? Huan Wen from the Huan clan of Lanyang. That is really a wonderful person! I told him a few years ago that he actually made a staircase! This New Year gift, he sent a craftsman who could make a staircase, and planned to build a building for him! He was so stingy, so he asked the craftsman to send a message saying that the craftsman would have to send him back to Lanyang after he used it. He said that he would also build such an interesting building for his grandfather to make his grandfather happy because his grandfather's favorite little granddaughter liked these things the most. What do you think this is?"

"It seems that he also knows what kind of person you are. He is afraid that if you give a heavy gift, you will have a psychological burden. In this way, you can produce all the materials yourself. He only produces skills, which is both pleasing and decent."

Ren Xiu nodded, agreeing that the gift was indeed well given.

Bai Jingyuan immediately excitedly stumbled on the long desk and leaned over his head and said, "Mother really thinks he is good either?"

“It’s good.”

Ren Xiu has also seen this person, not to mention that he came from the Huan clan of Lanyang.

"Hey, it would be great if he could be transferred to the capital! You don't know, how interesting he is."

Bai Jingyuan just recommended it out loud. Seeing Ren Xiu's smile faded, he immediately said something else.

This is the first year after he ascended the throne. This winter hunt will be held in a grand manner. At that time, aristocratic families across the country will send people, and those foreign ministers will also come to the royal capital to report their duties.

Bai Jingyuan talked about the gifts sent from all over the world for most of the day, but in fact they were all for the preparation. The real purpose was to recommend the people he valued, except to bring private goods to recommend the people he values.

Bai Jingyuan has two plans for winter hunting.

First, after the winter hunt, people familiar with fertilization and other means of increasing yield were sent to follow people from all over the country to guide them in farming from spring plowing; second, he did not want the sacrifices after this winter hunt to use living people to sacrifice.

There are already many phoenixes in the garden, so he would rather witch catch a few phoenixes and kill them.

The first thing is a good thing. With the success story of Phoenix Station last year, no one would refuse such technical guidance. Moreover, since the public toilet was built, the hygiene situation in the city has improved a lot, which has attracted praise from princes and nobles to civil slaves, which shows that this move is really good!

Ren Xiu agreed immediately, and even the most important personnel arrangements were handed over to him.

People who work on technology and work hard to increase agricultural production will like anyone in power.

However, the second thing Ren Xiu immediately refused.

"If you hunt and kill phoenix birds at will, they will be frightened and abandoned you, which is not a good sign. It is absolutely not possible!"

There are already hundreds of phoenix birds there. In the winter, plants covered with snow quilts have to bear the pressure of these fat birds. It is really pitiful. When Bai Jingyuan occasionally goes over, he will think of the delicious "Golden Rooster Dawn" soup.

Unfortunately, those slaves would rather him kill themselves than arrest even one.

Why!

"But that's a sacrifice! If the ancestors saw the phoenix bird as a sacrifice, they would definitely be happy!"

Ren Xiu still didn't let go.

It would be fine if she just caught one occasionally, but now she has a group of people at home. She wished that the entire palace would be full of divine birds in the future! How could she take risks?

He really couldn't convince him, so Bai Jingyuan had to choose another plan.

"There are those who are unforgivable in the country. Mother Queen, who should kill these people as sacrifices before the time comes? If our ancestors saw us clearly, they would be happy."

This child is so kind that even if he is just an irrelevant slave, he still doesn't want them to die in vain.

Ren Xiu was not really meant to be honest. This was not a big deal. He was afraid of him, so he had to agree.

Both things were solved, and Bai Jingyuan turned the topic aside and said in a controversial tone: "Empress, I think it is necessary to set up some officials to be responsible for agriculture. You see, the Grand Situ is in charge of civil affairs, while the Grand Sikong is in charge of land and agricultural production increases. Both of them can manage it, but neither of them wants to manage it. Why not divide it up and send someone to take charge? What do you think?"

Ren Xiu narrowed his eyes at him and said for a long time: "What do you think? Let's talk about it. If it works, I will listen to you once. If it doesn't work, you just pretend that it didn't."

"Empress, this is what I think. To promote the method of increasing production across the country, there must be a person who is in charge. Gongsun Quji is not qualified enough to make him successful in his work, but he cannot suppress others... If he can have a mature and steadfast, he can do things and is not slick, it would be very suitable."

Ren Xiu refused to respond, Bai Jingyuan twitched the bullet and went out: "Empress, what do you think of Zhang Fei?"

"You have never seen him, so how do you know what kind of person he is? If it is useless and you think about him like this, wouldn't it be a big joke?"

Seeing that her tone was loose, Bai Jingyuan immediately laughed.

"My son can trust Mr. Zhang. As the saying goes, no one knows his son better than his father. Mr. Zhang must be wrong. Zhang Fei may not be smart enough, but he is really capable of doing practical things. In terms of farming, most of them are engaged in technology in the fields, and the benefits created are enough. After all, Zhang is a member of the Zhang family. If he asked him to take charge of this matter, I think the court officials will definitely not object."

He had previously proposed to let Zhang Fei be the prince's grand guarantor, but Ren Xiu refused without hesitation.

Because the three masters are not qualified by ordinary people, she dare not give him any hope, because she is afraid that he will not let go when he sees hope, and insists on pestering her to agree.

How terrible it is to pester this child? She has seen it more than once.

I don’t know how Qi Shui Zhang won his favor and could do so for Zhang Fei.

If you don’t have a suitable official position, you have to create one for him, and you will not be the kind of false position without real power.

As a disabled old minister, he could think so thoughtfully. If she changed her mind and got along with him like a real mother and son, what would he treat her?

This thought came out of his mind, which scared Ren Xiu!

This kid is poisonous!

"I'll think about it before talking about it. Go back and practice calligraphy quickly! Don't be annoying here!"

Knowing that she had almost agreed, only to convince the court officials, Bai Jingyuan immediately retreated with a smile.

This matter has been in my heart for so long, it’s really hard to bear!

He had already thought about Zhang Fei's official position and called him Grand Secretary.

The official system that was originally passed down from Daji had to change.
