I was a famous teacher in ancient times

Chapter 812 Drought
Wanning knew that her husband was happy to be a father again, but after he was happy, his mind was all on Juanjuan, and he was not so patient with what was in her stomach.

The old lady of the Li family listened carefully to her daughter, "When the emperor got the paper, he was not the lord of the world. At that time, he was busy and could spare time to accompany you. There are too many things in the court now. I, an old lady who doesn't understand, know all about the northern affairs. It's tricky, plus Juanjuan is the prince, the emperor's thoughts will naturally be on Juanjuan."

Wanning smiled, "I also know, it's just that there is a gap between the two pregnancies, and it's hard to avoid feeling uncomfortable in my heart."

The old lady of the Li family nodded her daughter's forehead, "Think about me, when I was pregnant with my concubine, do you know how I felt at that time?"

Her husband respected her very much. Their husband and wife were famous for their love, but there was still a concubine in between. She didn't know how much bitterness she felt.

After hearing this, Wanning was stunned, and held her mother's hands, "I often think a lot about this pregnancy, it's true that I don't know the blessings in my life."

The old lady of the Li family touched her daughter's bun. The daughter grew up smoothly, and grew up to be a good husband. Only when the emperor favored her daughter did she have the confidence to think about it. This also shows her daughter's happiness, "You and the emperor are doing well, mother died And no regrets."

Her life longing has not been fulfilled, and she hopes that her daughter can keep the sincerity of the emperor.

Wanning felt relieved, "I will."

After she finished speaking, she touched her abdomen, and she also knew that her husband didn't want other children to get past Juanjuan, as Juanjuan was not only the eldest son but also the prince.

The news of the queen's pregnancy overturned many rumors. There was no good news that the queen gave birth to a prince. There were already rumors that the queen gave birth to a prince and hurt her body. There were also rumors that the queen had only one son.

Now many rumors are self-defeating, and some people have started to gamble in private, betting whether this child will be a prince or a princess!

Zhou Ran's pregnancy has attracted a lot of attention. Female officials have maternity leave when they are pregnant. This article was proposed by Zhou Ran. At the same time, she also proposed special benefits for female officials, maternity leave, childbirth subsidies, and exclusive medical care for female officials.

When Zhou Ran proposed it, it caused quite a stir, and the men were all sore, and this benefit is too good.

The two elders of the Shen family are the happiest. It's not that the granddaughter is bad, but that the deep-rooted concepts are hard to change completely at once, not to mention ancient times, even modern times. There are too many examples of patriarchy.

There are women in the imperial court, and the status of women has been rapidly promoted. It is because of the troubled times that the rules are broken. Otherwise, it would be too difficult to quickly improve the status of women in the stable years.

Now there is a private newspaper in Jiaozhou, which recruits not only men but also women, because women are also an important consumer group.

In the past, it was difficult for women to read and write, let alone pay attention to Di Bao. Now there are many types of newspapers, and women can earn money by being able to read and write. The economy determines the status. Some working women do not need to be cautious when buying newspapers.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the south has been changing every day. The development of the south has accelerated, while the northern states are still struggling for food and clothing.

There was a lot of rain this summer, and the south has stepped up the management of river embankments. Although there are several states with many rivers that have flooded, they are still under the control of the imperial court.

The summer weather in the north is smooth, and the people weep with joy when they see the healthy seedlings.

The situation in the grasslands is not good. This year, the grasslands have experienced drought, and many grasslands have died. The number of cattle and sheep has increased for business and trade. Now the dry grasslands are not enough.

Yang Xixuan received a letter from Hulechina, which contained a lot of nonsense, and the only thing in the letter was to buy food, and finally pointed out the signed peace contract.

Yang Xixuan asked the ministers, "What do you think?"

Ming Chen, "We still need to send someone to the grassland to have a look."

Even if the situation is not so serious, it will help the grassland store food in the end.

Li Yongyan also thought so, "I am willing to go to the grassland as an envoy."

Yang Xixuan had his own thoughts in his heart. He didn't want the grassland tribes to move into the northeast tribal territory, "You can't go on an envoy, I will arrange someone else."

After everyone left, Yang Xixuan called Ming Chen to stop, "Unfortunately, now is not the time to swallow the grassland."

The cultivation in the northern states is not optimistic. Even if the tax is exempted, the south will still need to support the north with food this year.

Ming Chen stroked his beard, "Hule China bought food from the imperial court, and the veteran felt that he wanted to attack a small country."

There is no longer a big war that is easier to pass on a crisis, not to mention that war can plunder everything.

Yang Xixuan, "There are changes in the northeast border. The foreigners in the north are dissatisfied with the control of the river, and they will test the border from time to time."

After pondering, Ming Chen said: "The emperor is afraid that the foreigners from the north will join forces with Hule China?"

Yang Xixuan said in a low tone, "I have to guard against it."

His defense in the Northeast has not yet been completed, and the progress of repairing the official roads in the Northeast states is slow, and food transportation is inconvenient. If he hadn't occupied the delineated coast first, it would be a big problem to transport materials.

He is dissatisfied with the current border line, he wants to continue to expand, but he is not in a hurry, he needs to eat every bite.

Ming Chen pondered, "The coast occupied by the imperial court threatens the foreigners in the north."

Yang Xixuan hummed, "I'm going to conduct a military exercise on the northeast border."

Use force to frighten them first. If the northern foreigners don't stop, he won't back down.

In the capital, Yang Xi and his wife were also concerned about the drought on the grassland. Yizhou was the first to get the news. Recently, the price of cattle and sheep in the Yizhou market has dropped, while grain has increased a lot.

The imperial court had the strictest grain control over Yizhou and Rongzhou, and grassland merchants could not buy a lot of grain.

Zhou Yu expressed his thoughts, "I want to visit Yizhou."

After Han Chenhui became the Duke of the state, Han Chenhui lived in Jiaozhou with his family, and now the power transfer in Jizhou has been completed.

Speaking of which, Han Chenhui has a very strong personality, he still hasn't married a regular wife, and it's useless for anyone to introduce him, and then he said impatiently that he will never marry a regular wife in his life.

Yang Xi couldn't leave the capital, and she wanted to keep an eye on the construction of the Royal Academy, "Go early and return early."

Zhou Yu left as soon as he said, and set off early the next morning. Zhou Yu had just left before Zhenyuan and Zilu arrived in the capital.

Yang Xi almost didn't recognize his youngest son, "Are you going to dig coal?"

The youngest son is black and thin, he doesn't look like a nobleman.

Zilu was on the verge of crying, "Mom, I'm in such a miserable situation, brother really thinks I'm a hard worker."

He actually dug a coal mine!
Yang Xi felt sorry for the youngest son, but the youngest son really should clean up, "Your elder brother is also doing it for your own good."

With a bitter face, Zilu knew what his mother would say, so he looked around, "Where's my father?"

"Your father has gone to Yizhou."

Zhenyuan opened the gift in his hand, "Auntie, the upper two boxes are ginseng and deer antler received by my father, and the lower one is ginseng received by cousin Ziheng."

Yang Xi knew that her son had taken several hundred-year-old ginsengs, but she didn't expect Zhan Peng to take them too. When she opened the box, she found that they were also hundreds of years old.

Yang Xi raised her eyebrows, "Did your father keep a few?"

Zhenyuan smiled, "I stayed, my hometown is blessed with a unique location, and my father has been watching good things. He was able to accept so much because of his aunt's protection. Otherwise, my father would not dare to make a big purchase."

Yang Xi closed the box, "These are all good things."

Fortunately, Zhanpeng knows the importance, and now it seems that his hometown has become prosperous again because of the medicinal materials.

Zilu suddenly remembered the letter from his elder brother, "Mother, a letter from elder brother."
