No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

The Fourth Master tapped her forehead and said with a smile, "Isn't it? From now on, I'll have to rely on you to screen talents for me."

This is not nonsense. In his heart, Cha Cha really has this ability and is much better than those who just hold positions but do nothing.

"Really? Then should we promote the third son of the Hu family?" Lin Mingyan had an idea.

The Fourth Master nearly spit out his tea. "Huh? What did Cha Cha see?"

This memorial is indeed good, much more interesting than those memorials of greeting sent to him. It feels like reading a travelogue. It is indeed a talented letter.

But even if he has some talent, he shouldn't be promoted right away, right?

It's a bit sloppy.

Lin Mingyan said, "Aren't the students going abroad about to be selected?"

"When going abroad to study, we can't just let young people with no experience go. We have to send someone with experience."

"I think Hu San is quite good. From the fresh things he writes about, I can tell that he is very observant and meticulous."

"I also research silk and porcelain, and the goods taken out on the ship can also be sold at a good price."

"Seeing that he always mentions the students of the county school, I think he is also a person who cares about the younger generation and can take good care of the students studying abroad."

The most important thing is that among the selected students there are Manchus, but there are more Han people.

Lin Mingyan did not want to send a Manchu official to manage the school, as that would definitely not make life easy for the Han students.

She sent people out to study hard, and wait for them to return and serve the motherland after graduation.

Instead of letting people offend them and making good talents disloyal to the country.

The decline of the Qing Dynasty was a law of history, but the fundamental reason for its decline was the persecution and fear of the Han people by the Manchus.

What Lin Mingyan wants to do is to let everyone know that no matter whether they are Manchus, Han Chinese or people of other nationalities, they all live in this land and this country, and everyone is the same.

The Fourth Master frowned, wanting to retort but unable to find a reason.

When I think about it carefully, what Cha Cha said does make sense.

No matter how impossible it was to admit it, he was well aware of the Manchus' vigilance and fear of the Han people.

Why was Dai Zi able to develop such powerful weapons but still exiled for so many years? Wasn’t it because the emperor was afraid of him?

In order to conquer Japan and enhance national strength, he has appointed Dai Zi, who is a good person.

However, he still sent Fourteen to follow Dai Zi all the time, and even took his son under his command.

Because he was also afraid that these Han people would one day become powerful enough to rebel.

"Let me think about it again," the Fourth Master said thoughtfully, "this can't be changed in a day or two."

If one day the number of Manchus could exceed that of Han people, he would no longer be afraid of Han people's rebellion.

But at the moment, it seems like a fantasy.

Lin Mingyan understood his concerns and raised them, "Master, the common people's wish in this life is nothing more than to live and work in peace and contentment."

"Their wishes are simple: to have enough food and warm clothes. Who would want to rebel?"

"But in the south, there are also the Third Prince of Ming, the White Lotus Sect, and the Red Flower Society. These people are not hungry or cold," the Fourth Master shook his head and sighed.

Didn't he want to treat all the people of the Qing Dynasty equally?

But there are always some people with evil intentions who are always lurking behind the scenes.

Lin Mingyan laughed and said, "Master, are you afraid of those one or two leaders, or those people with evil intentions?"

"That's not the case. How could someone with genuine rebellious intentions possibly defeat the army?" The Fourth Master certainly understood.

The real disaster does not come from individuals, but from the people they arouse under the name of orthodoxy.

Lin Mingyan said, "That's it. As long as life goes on, the people will report such people whenever they see one."

The Fourth Master was a little stunned. He had never thought about the Han people's thoughts from this perspective.

Lin Mingyan simply pulled him up and said, "Master, if you don't believe me, let's go and give it a try."

"try what?"

"rebel!"

The Fourth Master’s pupils were shocked: I’m going to rebel against myself?

Lin Mingyan smiled slyly: "Rebellion is very simple, it's nothing more than establishing a belief first."

"Then we'll give them some small profits, and finally encourage them to work hard for a better life."

The Fourth Master felt that what she said was really to the point.

After the two of them changed their clothes and sat in the carriage leaving the city, he realized that he had completely lost his mind.

No, why is he really starting to rebel?!

They used the excuse of going to the outskirts of the city to recuperate, and left all the affairs of state to Honghui and Shisan.

When Honghui got the news, his almond-shaped eyes widened, filled with confusion.

He couldn't believe it. He was only ten years old this year, and the emperor father actually dared to hand over all the political affairs to him and ran away with the emperor mother!

This huge pile of work has all fallen on his shoulders. He can’t finish it even if he works day and night.

And there's the Fourteenth Uncle, who has been appointed as the Grand General. We should have a farewell banquet for him, right?

When seeing someone off, you should always say some words of encouragement, right?

Now he has to do it all!

Everything in front of Honghui's eyes was dark and dark.

Why does it feel like he is as pitiful as the child laborer that the Empress Dowager described?

Well, we are all brothers, we can’t let him suffer alone.

Honghui dragged out all his brothers and sisters who were in the study room and assigned tasks to each of them.

Busy, everyone is busy, it’s better to be busy~~~

This was the first time that the Fourth Master had left his official duties and gone out for a trip with Lin Mingyan after becoming emperor.

No, it’s about understanding the people’s sentiments.

Lin Mingyan set several destinations, the first of which was a small village on the outskirts of Beijing.

Because it is close to the capital, life in Yuzhuang is relatively good.

People in the village either go to the capital to find a job, or raise pigs and grow vegetables at home, and they can also go to the capital to exchange some money.

As long as the villagers in Yuzhuang are healthy and free from disasters, they all live a good life.

In the past two years, there has even been some extra money, and the village has raised funds to build a village school so that talented younger generations can have a place to be enlightened.

Lin Mingyan and the Fourth Master disguised themselves and found the village elders: "My wife and I have fallen on hard times and moved out of the city. We want to rent a house here to settle down."

The elder of the Yu clan has a good reputation in Yu Village and is a very fair person.

He took into consideration that the widow Wang in the village had lost her husband the previous year and it was not easy for a widow to raise four children, so he introduced this good opportunity of renting a house to make money to her.

On the way, he introduced them: "Although Widow Wang's house is not the best, she is diligent and cleans it very well. You can move in without much effort."

"Besides, her house has two mud houses. You can rent one side and put up a fence in the middle so you don't disturb each other..."

Along the way, Yu Zuchang explained the pros and cons in detail, and then led them to Widow Wang's house.

It was dinner time. Smoke was rising from the Wang family's chimney, and two young men were peeling sweet potatoes in the yard.

The oldest one of them saw them coming and hurriedly opened the door, greeting them politely: "Grandpa Yu Si, why are you here?"
