Chapter 470 End of the Year
Also, no matter what I do in the future, I should not move up in official position. Otherwise, it will not help me but harm me. I should take on responsibilities according to my abilities. I don't want to live such a tiring life, and I don't have that much ability. You have to help me convey this.
Tell the officials to protect me more in the future. No matter what others say about me, don't believe it if you haven't seen me in person. Just remember one thing: I love this land and the people here. No matter what happens, I will never betray this land. So, if someone says anything, don't believe it. Wait until I come back and tell him in person and report to him. "
"Okay, I got it. I'll convey it truthfully." It sounded like he was making arrangements for his last wishes.
But this worry is not without reason. The emperor's heart is unpredictable, and living with the emperor is like living with a tiger. However, this little thing has taken a different path in a muddle. The emperor seems to trust her especially and is particularly patient with her.
Even if this matter is over, she is too lazy to think about what the government's specific plans are. If they are willing to give it, then give it. If they are not willing to give it, there is nothing she can do. She cannot influence the other party's decision. Just try your best. It is best to have it, but you can live without it.
Shen Ruyi forgot about it right after the conversation and was busy collecting other grains and crops into the warehouse. She didn't have the energy to deal with this anymore.
After receiving the message from the young prince, the official couldn't help but twitch his lips. Want a life-saving talisman? This was the first time someone asked for something so directly, and asked for it so confidently. Was she afraid that others would harm her? Was she afraid that others would make things difficult for her?
There is a lot of thought in that little head.
But what she said was very true. It is indeed not appropriate to make a king. There are too many things involved. Since ancient times, how many kings of different surnames have had a good ending?
Either the princes became too ambitious and developed rebellious thoughts, and were suppressed by successive emperors; or their descendants were incompetent and caused great disasters, so they were implicated; or they were not smart enough and were pulled out to take the blame by others.
Either way, the ending isn't very good.
As for the gold medal of immunity from death, he needs to think carefully. It's not that he is reluctant to give up the gold medal, but he is afraid that this little thing will use the gold medal to do some lawless "big things", which will be difficult to resolve.
If you are not careful, you might even poke a hole in the sky.
News came from the shipyard that two more large ships had been built. They could have set sail, but when they thought about the arrival of winter, they postponed the matter.
Shen Ruyi wanted to go south. The winter in the south was not very pleasant, especially for those who were used to living in the north. The damp and cold in the south was not something most people could endure.
After discussing with Yiren and Manou, we finally unanimously decided to set off after the Chinese New Year and the beginning of spring. It's not something that must be done, so we can just slow down and take it easy, just strolling around like a tourist.
The shipbuilding continued.
Before the snow fell, Shen Ruyi got some food to supply the people who were managing the river, and the silver was enough for now.
The exact situation is unknown, but according to the private messages sent back by the people who were sent, everything is fine and going on in an orderly manner.
Before the New Year, a large amount of strong liquor and cured meat and sausage were sent to the border areas, and this year some cured rabbit was added. Of course, it was still sent in the name of the government.
The previous matter of building a road and erecting a monument was also a hot topic among the whole court. Who wouldn't want to leave a name behind?
Some people even built narrow paths that are rarely used in order to erect more monuments and gain more fame. This is creating conditions when there are none. It is a great spirit.
The reason why Shen Ruyi knew about this was that the actions of Xiulu were reported by his political enemies and he was impeached. There was a quarrel in the court for several days because of this.
Everyone is discussing whether this is the right thing to do. Should we prohibit ordinary people from building roads just to erect monuments? Everyone is wondering whether this proposal to build a road is right?
According to Shen Ruyi, these officials are just too idle. They can keep arguing about this for days. They must be bored to death.
No matter what the starting point is, no matter what they want, as long as the road is good and smooth, it's fine. As for the road monuments, we can slowly select them and slowly remove the bad ones. We can't just stop doing it because of fear.
As the weather got colder and the land froze, the crops that needed to be harvested were harvested and the crops that needed to be stored were stored. Shen Ruyi planted vegetables and strawberries in her greenhouse.
Some flowers and trees in Shengshi Garden that are particularly vulnerable to frost have been wrapped in soil or straw mats so that they can better survive the winter.
I didn't pay much attention to the rest of the flowers, plants and trees, because there were floor heating in all the houses. If every household turned on the heating, it wouldn't be too cold at all.
Moreover, in each courtyard, a room was specially selected and equipped with a kang, which was specially prepared for people who were afraid of cold and could not stand freezing.
This year has been relatively smooth, with good weather and no major disasters. Shen Ruyi is particularly grateful for this and hopes that such days will continue for a little longer.
People are not afraid of hard work, but they are afraid of working hard for a year and getting nothing in return.
During this year, Shen Ruyi has never stopped printing. Apart from the book on herbs, there are also books on wild vegetables and fruits. Shen Ruyi has even forgotten how much goods she has sold.
In the book that was sent out later, Shen Ruyi specially added the method of making a kang and the steps of burning charcoal. Not only did he write a detailed process, but he also provided particularly clear illustrations in the hope that everyone who reads it can understand it and learn it.
Of course, this matter has also been discussed with the government. With these two things, I hope that the people can have a more comfortable winter, fewer people will die, and more elderly people and children will survive.
These books have been distributed to certain areas and regions selected by the government, and should have reached the hands of ordinary people.
Of course, Shen Ruyi has not stopped printing and is still in the process of printing. There is still a big gap.
In terms of breeding, the harvest has been fruitful this year. The number of cattle, horses and sheep has increased several times, not counting those consumed by the family.
Not to mention chickens, ducks, geese, and fish. You can eat as much as you want. Besides eating them at home and giving them to others, the rest will all be sent to restaurants.
We stored a lot of duck and goose down this year, and used it to sew several warm and light quilts for everyone to use.
Seeing that there was still more, Shen Ruyi specially asked the nanny to make a down jacket and a quilt for the official, as well as knee pads, a pair of cotton slippers to wear in the house, and a pair of fingerless cotton gloves. The gift was small but the sentiment was profound.
At the same time, it also tells the government that cotton clothes made of these two materials are particularly warm and should be used effectively.
No matter how much you talk, there is no immediate effect like actual action.
Sure enough, the official was overjoyed after receiving it. After having someone check it and found no problems, he touched it again and again and found it was very light. He tried it on his body and found that his body felt warm.
Good stuff, after trying all these gadgets, I fell in love with them. Warm and light.
Suddenly I feel that winter is not so hard to endure.
Finally, after flipping through the production method and ingredients written by Shen Ruyi, I exclaimed that this little thing has a very useful brain. She could even discover and make this. What a talent.
