Taking the initiative to remarry! The crazy prince is obsessed with me

After Shen Xiyue finished checking the shop, it was getting dark, so she went straight back to Princess Huayang's Mansion.

It's sad to say that Emperor You'an allowed Lord Shen and his wife to stay until after Shen Xiyue and the prince got married. Even though they were reluctant, it was time to set off back to Western Xinjiang.

She told Murong Xuan that she would stay in the mansion for a few days to spend more time with her parents.

"The date has been set. We will set off on the seventh day." Lord Shen sighed and said with emotion: "After all, I can see Xiyue getting married this time. As a father, I feel relieved."

Mrs. Shen looked at Shen Xiyue, and before she could say anything, her eyes turned red and tears started to flow.

Shen Xiyue's heart softened, and she walked over to sit next to Madam Shen, leaned into her arms, wiped her tears, and said with a smile: "Why are you crying, mother? You can't bear to leave Yue'er."

Madam Shen said, "You are a child, so of course you are reluctant to leave. I just heard the news from outside that the bookstore you opened has low prices and is highly praised by scholars. I am amazed that Yue'er has grown up and knows how to run a business. These days, I see that you are becoming more and more capable, and I am happy."

Shen Xiyue's nose was sour: "I am my mother's daughter. I have seen everything my mother does, so I have learned a little from her."

Lord Shen was almost crying when he saw the mother and daughter talking, and he felt very distressed: "You two should stop crying. It's a good thing that our daughter has grown up. It's not good to ask you to worry less."

Madam Shen tried to hold back her tears, but still couldn't help but say a lot: "Now that your parents are gone, you are alone in the capital, so don't act rashly and discuss things with the prince.

And your uncle and cousin will also protect you. I don’t know much about the court, but your uncle said that the Crown Prince is a very good person. Even if he doesn’t care about me, he will still support him.”

"Mother, I have taken note of everything you said." Shen Xiyue felt upset and could not help but said, "Dad, Mom, don't worry, I will always find a way to get you and me to come back to Beijing as soon as possible."

Lord Shen just sighed, and Madam Shen cried even harder.

Madam Shen hugged Shen Xiyue and said:

"Silly Yue'er, Daddy and Mommy don't think that life in Western Xinjiang is hard. We have been used to it for so many years. The people of Western Xinjiang also need Daddy and Mommy to protect them. The court is full of troubles. Your uncle had to do many things to become the prime minister. The foundation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still unstable. You should not act recklessly. You are the only daughter of Daddy and Mommy. You must protect yourself in everything."

Shen Xiyue was silent for a moment, and then she said, "Mom, I know that the Western Frontier needs to be guarded, and Yue'er is not a selfish person. I just can't bear to leave you, so I think this way."

Now that Dashun has not seen war for a long time, the trend in the court is to emphasize civil officials over military officials, which has led to a lack of reserve military generals to take over.

Up to now, half of Dashun's troops are in the Shen family guarding the western border. The Shen family is not allowed to return to the capital without an imperial edict. The other half is in the Qin family, stationed in various places, but the Qin family does not have a military order.

The two sides restrain each other and cooperate with each other.

Shen Xiyue had never thought about these things in her previous life, but now that she thinks about it, such lazy politics is not a good thing after all.

In addition to her selfish desire to reunite with her parents, she also wanted Dashun to stay in her and Murong Xuan's hands longer. She didn't have the opportunity to experience these things before, but now it's different. She married Murong Xuan and became the Crown Princess, so she has the opportunity to do something.

But at the moment, we only have a vague idea about these things.

He would just wait until Murong Xuan became more stable in his position as the crown prince, and then try to propose to Emperor You'an some military and political changes.

"It's good that you know Yue'er has this intention, mother." Mrs. Shen breathed a sigh of relief and hugged her daughter tighter.

Who doesn't want the family to be reunited? But someone has to guard the Western Frontier. Even if she and Lord Shen come back, the emperor will naturally send someone else.

But no matter who goes, it is inevitable to be away from home and let others suffer for themselves. This is not what a gentleman does.

Shen Xiyue quickly gathered her thoughts and changed the subject: "Mom, do your uncles know that you and Dad are leaving?"

"I've sent someone to tell him." Madam Shen nodded, "Your uncle and his family will come to the mansion for a gathering tomorrow night."

Shen Xiyue quickly agreed: "Okay, I'll ask the family to prepare it."

But Mrs. Shen didn't expect that Shen Xiyue promised her not to do anything messy today, but forgot it the next day.

The farewell banquet on the evening of the second day was held in the main hall of the Princess's Mansion.

Prime Minister Song and his family arrived early, and Murong Xuan also came from the Prince's Mansion to attend the banquet.

"Greetings to the Crown Prince, greetings to the Crown Princess." The family followed the rules and saluted Murong Xuan and Shen Xiyue.

Murong Xuan hurriedly asked everyone to stand up: "Today is a family banquet. I am not the prince today, but the son-in-law of the Shen family. Please don't be so formal with your family."

"Okay, okay." After Lord Shen stood up, Murong Xuan welcomed him to sit on the main seat.

Prime Minister Song and his family also took their seats. At first, everyone was a little reserved, but when they saw Murong Xuan's humility, the table gradually became lively.

I couldn't help but talk about Shen Xiyue's two shops.

Second cousin Liu smiled and picked up a glass of wine, looking at Shen Xiyue and praising her, "The Crown Princess's shop really opened my eyes. First, the business of the perfume shop was novel and varied, and now that the bookstore has opened, the business is booming."

"My cousin is really gifted in business."

Second cousin Song Lian first praised him, then said with some concern:

"It's just that once my cousin's bookstore opens, the business of other bookstores will naturally decline. This is a matter of personal ability. However, those old masters who rely on engraving motherboards will lose their livelihood. I'm afraid their lives will be difficult."

Originally, the old craftsmen carved the wood blocks one by one. The wood blocks would be dipped in ink and would swell over time and need to be re-carved all the time. Therefore, as long as the bookstore's business was there, they would not be eliminated.

But now, Shen Xiyue's bookstore has eliminated this method.

The template she printed only needed to be poured with molten lead water, and it would instantly become a plate after cooling. Not only was the lead plate durable, but it could also be melted to cast a new plate, so it didn't require that much trouble at all.

Shen Xiyue had naturally thought about this issue. Even if her second cousin didn't ask, she would still go and talk to her uncle.

She just blinked and said, "Don't worry, second cousin. My printing skills are just "workmanlike but not skillful". They are not as good as those of the masters who carve the plates one stroke at a time."

Then he looked at Prime Minister Song and added meaningfully:

"The books in my shop are not expensive, and they are not sold at a high price, which makes it more convenient for students all over the world to read. However, the old rigid methods are now a craft with inspiration, and they will never be forgotten no matter what."

Prime Minister Song really heard the hidden meaning in her words. He put down his chopsticks and said curiously, "It seems Xiyue has other plans?"

Shen Xiyue was not polite and spoke directly:

"Uncle, I was just about to tell you. Look at my printing technique. Although it is just some "strange and ingenious skills", it is of great help to the common people. We must pay attention to it."

"So uncle, don't you think that we should set up a special government office to collect all the strange and ingenious skills in the world and encourage everyone to study more skills. If they can be used by the people of the world, wouldn't it be a great thing?"

These ideas were also inspired by Gu Zhilan.

She didn't know how much Gu Zhilan knew, but she had already keenly realized that these craft skills that they had looked down upon before actually contained enormous power.

For example, just the printing technology can reduce the cost of learning and literacy, and benefit countless people...

Didn’t the stereotype masters of the past ever think of separating the characters one by one and then combining them together?

Maybe they have thought about it, but they would not take the initiative to say it out loud if they thought about it, which would only ruin their own jobs.

But we can’t blame the craftsmen entirely, it’s just human nature.

But it also shows that there is room for improvement in the previous rules.

So she added:

"Uncle, we won't take their skills for nothing. For those who can provide skills to the court, we will record their skills and put them on display like the dishes in a restaurant.

If there are merchants who want to use these crafts, they can rent them, and the government will then pay the rent to the craftsmen according to the proportion.”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes lit up. This was a business model they had never thought of.

People who have craft skills can make a living by using their skills, so they will naturally not keep them secret. Instead, they will constantly think about researching new craft skills.

At the same time, it can also force all walks of life to stop making money by relying on monopolized technology and instead think about improving it. This is a kind of healthy competition...

Even so, it may not be as good as the place where Gu Zhilan traveled through for a while, but in the end, it is just a matter of time.

Prime Minister Song looked serious, this was truly a matter concerning the country's economy and people's livelihood.

He couldn't help but look at his niece again. Xiyue's eyes were burning and her whole body was glowing. She had really grown up and was no longer the naive little girl who only knew about romance.

He looked at Shen Xiyue calmly: "You have already thought about it. You want your uncle to go to the emperor to make a report and open another government office for you."

Shen Xiyue tilted her head and smiled: "Uncle is wrong to say this. This is a good plan for governing the country for the people of the world. Don't you think it should not be adopted?"

Prime Minister Song suddenly burst into laughter: "Great! Today's meal is totally worth it!"
