Poor family mother and son

The prince spoke before the father-in-law, which is an impossible phenomenon in any family, but Yong'an didn't seem to realize it at all. He still stared at Huang Zhaoxian with a cold face, waiting for his answer.

"Well... this..." Huang Zhaoxian didn't know whether to salute first or answer the question first, he was a little at a loss.

Before, I had rehearsed countless times in my mind the steps of saluting first, saying hello later, exchanging greetings later, how to find a way to cut into the topic, etc., all of a sudden, I was completely bluffed by the expressions of the two people in front of me and couldn't remember anything.

The way Huang Zhaoxian hesitated made Xiaobao even more frightened: What happened to Grandpa Huang?What happened?
Xiaobao grabbed Huang Zhaoxian's collar and said, "Say! What happened to my Grandpa Huang?!"

Chu Qing: "..."

My son is now far faster and more responsive than me.

It is said that people rely on clothes, and clothes that are properly dressed can enhance their status, but the clothes of the person in front of them can't judge anything.

Huang Zhaoxian came from a long distance, he was wearing casual clothes, and he was asking to see Mr. Yong'an, so it was not easy to bring someone by his side, just because he was cautiously afraid to stand up straight now, he was no different from the butler of a wealthy family big.

So when Chu Qing and Xiaobao heard that they were Mr. Huang's family members, their first reaction was that they were domestic servants, not his son. After so many years, Huang Laosan was the only one who had visited the old man.

Chu Qing almost wanted to dig into the other person's collar. This person is too meaty. Can he reply with a pleasant word?

"No... your grandpa... oh no..." Huang Zhaoxian's face turned pale with fright: "My father is fine, don't worry, Shizi!"

"Father?" Xiaobao didn't let go, but looked him up and down suspiciously: "Who are you?"

Huang Zhaoxian: "My father is Huang Zhong, and I am Huang Zhaoxian. He is the eldest son in the family. Does the eldest son know Huang Zhaoyan? That is my third brother."

Only then did Xiao Bao let go of his hand: "Oh."

Then he turned around and helped Chuqing sit on the main seat: "I'm sorry, I was in a hurry just now."

With just such a sentence, he stopped talking and didn't even give him a wink.

"Sit down." Chu Qing raised her hand to indicate.

Huang Zhaoxian took his seat apprehensively, not daring to wipe the sweat off his brow—Mr. Yong'an really can't be regarded as an ordinary person!
Huang Zhaoxian felt unable to look into the eyes of Chu Qing and his mother. He felt that their gazes were like knives, always ready to gouge out other people's eyes.

With the same cold and serious face, he felt that facing his own father was not so stressful, and suddenly remembered the words of the third brother: "Maybe he has really killed someone, and he is different from ordinary people."

Huang Zhaoxian summoned up all his courage, relayed Huang Zhong's greetings and reported Huang Zhong's recent situation to Yong'an Gong and his son, only then did he see their expressions soften.

Everything has been going well for the old man recently. Recently, he has been playing chess and drinking tea with Liu Ju, the Minister of Household Affairs, and occasionally has a drink with Hong Guogong.

"Huang Shilang's trip is...?" Chu Qing asked.

This man is too meaty, waiting for him to speak is really a waste of time.

"Hmm..." Huang Zhaoxian hesitated again, and Chu Qing frowned slightly.

This person is not as straightforward as Huang Laosan of his family.

"Oh, I haven't congratulated Huang Shilang on his promotion yet!" Chu Qing cupped his hands first to express his congratulations, but no matter how happy he was, the other party was also the son of Mr. Huang, so he didn't look at the face of the monk or the face of the Buddha.

Huang Zhong worked for his whole life before he reached the position of Minister of the Right. His son was promoted six ranks in a row and became the Minister of the Left. It must be the most incredible speed of promotion in the officialdom, right?
Huang Zhaoxian didn't have the confidence that "opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared", he said with a sneer, "It's thanks to Mr. Yong'an."

At first, I thought that I was promoted by Shangguan after I was conscientious and dedicated. I was a little complacent in my heart, thinking that even if I survived the years, I should still be in my current position.

This time, after accepting the task of negotiating with Mr. Yong'an, I realized why I was able to advance to the sixth level, and all my self-confidence was gone. This is really a big blow!
"Mr. Yong'an, I am here this time to visit you on behalf of my father..." Huang Zhaoxian said thoughtfully, hoping to take advantage of his old father.

Finally Xiaobao couldn't take it anymore: "You came here for our color printing process, right? Just tell me your purpose!"

Huang Zhaoxian is really not suitable for beating around the bush. He is still not smooth enough, so he can only tell the truth: "I came this time to see the papermaking and color printing process of the government. craftsman?"

Chu Qing didn't speak, she knew the emperor had to make this idea.

Xiaobao: "Bai Jiao?"

Huang Zhaoxian: "Huh?"

Is Mr. Yongan's speech so straightforward?

Huang Zhaoxian was at a loss: "Well... can I?"

Xiaobao: "No way!"

Huang Zhaoxian: "..."

How can we talk about this?Huang Zhaoxian wiped the sweat from his cheeks with his sleeve. Why is Yong'an Mansion so hot in spring: "Then...do I need to charge a fee?"

Xiaobao: "Tuition? Haha, your Ministry of Industry will not come up with this, and we don't earn this little money either;
I think you are struggling to speak, let's put it this way, if you want our craftsmanship, you can join us;
That is, you open the store, bear all operating expenses, and pay a certain fee to our Chu family, and the Chu family allows you to use the Chu family's brand and teach you related technologies. Do you understand? "

This... This is something Huang Zhaoxian did not expect.

What does it mean?Ask the Ministry of Industry to provide money and a shop to open a Chu family's bookstore? !
Xiaobao continued as if he could see through Huang Zhaoxian's thoughts: "In other words, you will open a bookshop for me, and you will produce the staff and craftsmen. What you print and sell are the books of my Chu family, and we are responsible for imparting skills."

Huang Zhaoxian's eyes widened - Mr. Yong'an didn't take advantage of the Ministry of Industry, but took advantage of the Emperor!
Huang Zhaoxian looked at Chu Qing with disbelief, as if he wanted to verify whether Xiaobao's words were effective.

In his opinion, the Chu family is taking advantage of it to the point of life and death, which fool would cooperate with their family like this?

Now the biggest problem of Daxuan is food, not printing; it doesn't matter if there is no color printing, and it is just icing on the cake.

Unexpectedly, Duke Yong'an Chu Qing only nodded: "The prince has always been responsible for the issue of franchise investment. You can discuss it with my son."

Chu Qing was very confident that the emperor would agree.

This time, the recruitment of scholars was expanded by 100 people. It can be seen that the emperor wanted to increase the proportion of poor students who became officials, and naturally increased investment in education.

And after Chu Qing spread Xiaobao's books all over Daxuan, the second batch of "Children's Literacy Picture Books" will be published to help Daxuan eliminate illiteracy.

This was also Chu Qing's way of expressing peace to the emperor - if you don't be suspicious of me, I will benefit Daxuan.

Big stick with sweet dates, this is sweet dates.

The emperor's most important thing is always the imperial power. Maintaining and stabilizing the imperial power is the first priority, and the people are in the second place. Strengthening the cultivation of talents is the best way to centralize power.

As long as the cost of printing is reduced and textbooks with colorful illustrations can be printed, the goal of "education starts from the baby" that Chu Qing once said can be achieved.

Books are easy to understand and not expensive, more children can go to school, and more talents will be available to the court in the future!

Furthermore, the disaster will eventually pass, and the summer harvest will be here in more than two months. The food crisis can be temporarily alleviated, so the emperor will shift his focus to Chu Qing's printing technology. (End of chapter)
