Qiming 1158

Chapter 1299 The eighth year of Hongwu is a good year

Su Yonglin once wanted to ask Xin Qiji why he wrote the sapphire case, but later he explained it in detail in Xin Qiji's own article, and Su Yonglin did not ask any more.

In the article he submitted at that time, Xin Qiji described the causes and consequences of creating this poem and his inner feelings, and described the corruption and degeneration of the upper class and the hardships and hardships of the people at the bottom that he saw in the Southern Song Dynasty.

The huge sense of separation brought about by two completely different situations made him feel extremely absurd. Under such strong emotions, he decided to completely separate from the old times, so he wrote that poem.

This surprised Su Yonglin.

He was amazed at the completely different meanings of the same word in different contexts.

Then, apart from sighing that Xin Qiji was awesome, he had no other feelings.

His poor literary accomplishment makes him in addition to being arrogant, there are no other better words to describe Xin Qiji's brilliance.

Therefore, he hopes that Xin Qiji can also write a few more poems, which can be used as teaching materials in the future, or as exam questions, and make some reading comprehension that the original author himself does not understand, so as to benefit the students all over the world.

It's fun to think about.

For example, ask the students who Xin Qiji wrote about [that person].

However, when Su Yonglin suggested that Xin Qiji could develop a little in the direction of the pronoun, Xin Qiji made it clear that he was not very enthusiastic about it and had no idea.

Maybe he will consider it after he retires, but when he is in his prime, when he is putting his passion and what he has learned into practice, how can he write some poems that point to the evils of the times like a grievance woman?
And in the end, what is the time and disadvantage of Daming that needs him to be pointed out?
If he really had it, it wasn't his turn to brew his emotions and write poems. Su Yonglin had already cleaned it up physically, and he had no room to play at all.

"Poetry is after all a trail to cultivate personal sentiments. I am Daming's chief of staff after all. I should focus more on Daming's military work, and I should focus on battlefield battles, not poetry. No matter how well written poetry is, it cannot make the country strong. We can't let the army win the battle, it's just tasteless."

Looking at Xin Qiji's attitude, Su Yonglin couldn't help but feel pity for the vast number of candidates in the present and future generations. Without so many poems, the scope of the questions will be narrowed.

but……

never mind.

Su Yonglin smiled and patted Xin Qiji's shoulder.

"Beyond work, there is nothing more than life. Of course you can fall in love with work, but after work, you must also know how to rest and relax. Although I am busy with official business, I will practice martial arts and fitness in my spare time, accompany my family, or read and write. Write what you want to write.

For me, these things are to deal with relaxation and leisure outside of official duties. They are things that can relieve stress. You also need to learn to dispatch some pressure from work. If I could write poetry, I would have written it long ago, and it would be easy to publish it. Good to win the whole house, but unfortunately, I will not. "

Xin Qiji touched his chin.

"Is that so... You are so busy with work, but can you find time?"

"I'm not an iron man. After all, I have to rest and do my own things, such as accompany my family. My second son was born not long ago. When the eldest son was born, it was a busy time in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and I didn't accompany him. It is the most regrettable thing, and now there is an opportunity to make up for the regret, of course, we must seize the opportunity."

Su Yonglin smiled and said: "I heard that your wife is also pregnant. This is your second child. Please spend more time with your family. If you have a vacation, take a vacation. If you don't have anything too busy, you should hurry up and rest. I'm exhausted myself."

Xin Qiji's eldest son was born four years ago, and now that his wife is pregnant again, Su Yonglin felt that Xin Qiji could take some time to spend with his family.

Otherwise, he will be busy after the campaign to destroy the Song in the south is launched.

Xin Qiji is like this, so why is Su Yonglin not like this?
When the eldest son in the family was born, just in time for Jianguo's busiest time, he was so busy in the previous dynasty that he had no time to care about his family, so he could only make Zhao Xirui work hard and become a father and mother, but instead let him find a loving father. identity.

Now that the youngest son is born, the government is still busy, but not so busy that he can't find time to accompany his family. Zhao Xirui now also has work to do in the Women's Department, so sometimes Su Yonglin will take the initiative to take over the work of accompanying the youngest son.

After Zhao Xirui was pregnant for ten months, she gave birth to Su Yonglin's second child, also a son.

Su Yonglin is somewhat regretful about this, because he actually wants a daughter for this child, and wants to taste the taste of having both children.

But since the child was born, he was also happy and happy, and took a lot of time to accompany his son and Zhao Xirui, who was confinement, and then discussed with Zhao Xirui about having a daughter for the third child, and was scolded by Zhao Xirui.

Isn't it enough work to be emperor?What do you want a third one?Are you busy?Is this something you should consider?

Su Yonglin was reprimanded and was speechless.

Needless to say, this was the first time he felt the hard work of raising a child. Although there were professional confinement maids and nurses in the palace who could help take care of the child, he still took time out to take care of the child himself, and then he felt various Difficulty.

The emperor personally changed the child's diaper and then was urinated on his face. It has always been a secret in the palace and unwilling to talk about it.

However, from these very hard physical work, Su Yonglin felt quite deep.

"If you have time, spend more time with your wife and children. After the child is born, you should also take care of it for a while. Really, there will be some very different experiences."

"A different experience?"

Xin Qiji was a little puzzled: "What else can you experience with a child? It's nothing more than gratitude for the kindness of your parents, to feel the hardship and difficulty?"

"Maybe for a man, it will be different in mood."

Su Yonglin smiled: "Anyway, it's definitely not a bad thing for us to spend more time with your family and focus more on your family. People like us have been in high positions for a long time, and it's easy to develop a superior mentality. This is not good. With children, you can get back to the mentality of ordinary people."

Xin Qiji thought about it, and then laughed.

"In that case, I know, and I will try."

"Ah."

The eighth year of Hongwu was indeed a good year for the Ming Kingdom.

At the beginning of the year, the Chuan-Shu Campaign broke out, and the Ming army occupied Chuan-Shu, ending the absurd Shu-Song regime.

At the end of March, the Yellow River diversion project was gradually coming to an end. Tian Guizi, the chief director of the Yellow River diversion project, the censor of the Zuodu capital of the Ming Dynasty, the Prime Minister of the Renaissance Society and the director of the General Affairs Department, formally submitted a statement to the court, saying that the Yellow River diversion project was coming to an end.

It only takes up to two months for the final inspection and overall planning to finally complete the Yellow River diversion project, allowing the Yellow River water to return to the old route of the Eastern Han Dynasty and flow into the sea from the east.

Su Yonglin was overjoyed when he heard the news, and in early April of the eighth year of Hongwu, he went to inspect the Yellow River construction site again. Together with Tian Guizi, they walked through the new Yellow River channel that was about to be used, and inspected the dams and drainage facilities in each river section.

Tian Guizi was very happy this time, saying that he finally lived up to expectations and could ensure that the entire diversion project would be completed in the middle of the eighth year of Hongwu. From then on, the flooding period of the Yellow River for hundreds of years since the collapse of the Yellow River in the late Tang and Five Dynasties will come to an end. .

The risk of year-to-year panic and year-to-year collapse will be a thing of the past.

"Although this large project cost more than 400 billion yuan and took more than five years, I think it's all worth it. It's better to make a big repair of the Yellow River than to bear the risk of crevasse flooding every year after that. Good to come.

Every breach or flood will bring extremely heavy losses, and the results of hard work can almost be washed to nothing, and many people will die, so no matter from which point of view, although this project is extremely costly, it still is extremely necessary. "

Tian Guizi smiled and said to Su Yonglin: "In the past few years, the imperial court has been struggling financially, labor has been difficult, many things have been delayed, and the imperial court must have a lot of dissatisfaction. It is said that the prosperous land of the two Huaihe Rivers must quickly return to its original prosperity."
