Abandoned daughter takes charge of the family, so rich that even the best people can't envy

The Minister of Revenue Zhang Zihan privately advised Song Jinxiu.

"Your Majesty, do you want to unify Dada? But Your Majesty doesn't know that the north is very cold and the winter is long.

Taking this place back is like chicken ribs, a waste of manpower and resources. It’s better to let them surrender…”

Song Jinxiu looked at the map of Cangwu on the table and tapped it.

"Local water and soil nurture local people. Although it's very cold here, as long as we are properly housed, we can be self-sufficient and have a good life."

Zhang Zihan looked at Song Jinxiu, "Your Majesty, have you already made a rule?"

Song Jinxiu nodded. The Dada people only knew how to rob in winter, but they didn't know that there was something in the black water in winter that could feed them.

In the past, winter fishing was the most abundant festival in the north.

And if there is corn...

"Uncle Zhang, are all the military expenses ready?"

"Yes, the national treasury is now rich, food and fodder are fully stocked, and the soldiers have plenty of cotton clothes."

Speaking of this, Zhang Zihan couldn't help but feel high-spirited.

Today, Cangwu has a bumper cotton harvest every year, and he has contributed to this.

Of course, this credit also goes to Song Jinxiu.

At the beginning, Song Jinxiu gave him the technology for high-yield cotton. He led his people to work day and night for two years, and then promoted the summarized experience to the whole Cangwu.

If it weren't for Song Jinxiu, who would have thought that if you want high cotton yields, you have to be ruthless and remove the side buds, pinch the tops, and there are also a set of techniques for fertilizing and preventing diseases and pests.

"Okay, you can leave the food and fodder matters to Liu Nenggan. I have other tasks for you."

The establishment of the Cangwu State-owned Bank, as well as maritime transportation and the Silk Road, all required professional talents from the Ministry of Revenue.

The emperor and his minister chatted for a long time in the imperial study. Song Jinxiu gave instructions while Zhang Zihan took careful notes in a small notebook.

Time passed by unknowingly and soon it was time for dinner.

The emperor and the empress asked Zhang Zihan to stay for dinner. Although they usually followed the rule of not talking while eating or sleeping, Song Jinxiu was not one to follow the rules.

While she was eating, she would say a few words whenever she thought of something. Zhang Zihan would then quickly put down his chopsticks and pick up a pen and paper to take notes.

Every instruction from Her Majesty was enlightening. Sometimes, he would have to ponder over her words for a long time before he could understand them.

So, it must be written down.

Seeing that Zhang Zihan was having a hard time eating, Su Mo quickly picked up a piece of lotus root and gave it to Song Jinxiu. "This is the new lotus root this year. Eat first, and then get busy."

Ever since his little girl became emperor, she has devoted herself to state affairs, working diligently and fairly for the country and the people.

Zhang Zihan is also a diligent and capable official. Because of the relationship with his mother-in-law, they usually get along quite casually. But what happened today?

The emperor and his subjects were respectful to each other, but Zhang Zihan was always cautious. What bad things had he done?

He can see that His Majesty must have known it for a long time. Looking at the situation today, is he deliberately trying to warn him?

Su Mo waved his hand, signaling the servants to go out, "You all go guard outside, no need to serve."

Don't worry, the little girl will say something offensive, Zhang Zihan will be embarrassed, after all, this guy is the emperor's stepfather.

I just don’t know what Uncle Zhang did wrong to cause the girl to dislike him?

Sure enough, Song Jinxiu looked at Zhang Zihan and suddenly asked, "Uncle Zhang, I heard that my mother is pregnant again?"

Zhang Zihan was eating when he choked when he heard Song Jinxiu's question.

But she didn't dare to lose her manners in front of the king, and it was very difficult to hold it in.

Su Mo was also stunned. He didn't expect that the girl was unhappy about this.

My mother-in-law is not yet fifty years old. It is a happy event for an old woman to be pregnant with a pearl. Why is this girl unhappy?

Song Jinxiu couldn't say whether she was happy or not about her mother's pregnancy.

But how can a man understand the hardship a woman goes through during her ten months of pregnancy, especially when the mother is an elderly pregnant woman, the hardship is even greater.

So when she saw her stepfather, the culprit, she felt unhappy.

Song Jinxiu then said, "Pregnant woman of advanced age, do you think giving birth is a joke? Why are you so careless?"

Zhang Zihan blushed and felt embarrassed.

They were very careful, but the child's arrival was fate...

Zhang Zihan was depressed. He and his wife had met too late, and now their children were grown up.

You're grown up now and have your own ideas, so why are you meddling in your parents' bedroom affairs?

……

Three days later, the Crown Prince led the three armies to the border, and Junjun accompanied him.

On the city wall, Song Jinxiu, wearing a golden dragon robe, personally adjusted her son's helmet.

The young emperor looked at his young son and asked, "Are you afraid?"

Ten-year-old Liu Rui's eyes were firm, "Don't worry, mother. I'm not afraid."

"Okay, leading troops is different from governing a country. You are the crown prince, but you are also their general. Weapons and equipment are important, but what is more important is the cohesion and combat effectiveness of the army."

Twenty-eight-year-old Song Jinxiu, the empress of Cangwu, had a wise and calm look in her eyes. She patiently and kindly taught:

"My son, do not look down on others because of your status, do not go against the majority because of your own opinion, and do not lose your loyalty because of your ability.

If a scholar has not yet sat down, he should not sit down; if a scholar has not yet eaten, he should not eat; they share the cold and heat, the toil and rest, the joys and sorrows, and the dangers and dangers.

Don't be soft on the enemy, and be kind to the people.

Remember: All nations diligently protect each other, and the third level wishes for peace. All the children in the world are innocent, and all the people outside the domain are common people..."

Although Song Jinxiu was speaking to her son, the following sentences in her voice were filled with spiritual power, and the ministers behind her and the soldiers under the city wall could hear them clearly.

Everyone was excited. This was their Majesty, a woman with a broad mind and the aura of a ruler. Her heart was not just for Cangwu, but for all the people in the world...

The Crown Prince is leading the expedition this time with the best of this generation in the military academy, so the young people need to gain some experience.

Of course, several veteran generals such as Yiming, Wang Younian, and Zhao Fang also accompanied them, and Princess Annan and her horse had already arrived at the border waiting.

Also traveling with them were Prince Xiaoyao and his wife, and Zhang Jinfan, the eldest son of Minister of Revenue Zhang Zihan.

New generals are trained, veterans escort them. This battle is not just a battle, but also a replacement of the old with the new, a legacy passed down from generation to generation...

As the army set out, the wife of the Marquis of Chengyun, holding her one-year-old child, angrily complained to her husband:

"It's fine if the second son just follows suit, but his wife also follows. How old is this child? She's really bold."

Now that my mother-in-law is pregnant, the family is full of old and young people, so the second son and his wife just ran away.

Song Chunsheng took the child, weighed him, and said with a smile: "Oh, I haven't seen him for a few days, and this child is heavy in my hand again."

The wife of the Marquis of Chengyun quickly took the child and glared at her husband in anger.

"The child is still young, how can he be weighed like this?"

She gently pinched the child's cheek and said with a smile, "Yes, children grow up with the wind. This kid can eat, sleep and poop. Isn't he growing fast?"

Song Chunsheng glanced at his wife and said, "The second son has learned a lot of skills, but he insists on being a free and easy prince. He is afraid of delaying me. He also doesn't want to cause trouble for His Majesty. After all..."

After all, the identities of the four siblings of the Song family are too popular.

Even among the Liu royal family, there was no prince who held real power.

And he is also the principal of the military academy.

My second sister is a princess with fiefdoms and real titles, so I have to keep a low profile.

The Marquis's eyes flickered, and she sighed, "Actually, Your Majesty doesn't care about these things."

Song Chunsheng nodded. "Of course my eldest sister doesn't care, but what will the emperor and the crown prince think?"

He looked at the child in his wife's arms with gentle eyes.

"Madam, we used to be farmers struggling to make ends meet. We've achieved this because of my eldest sister. We should be content and cherish what we have!"

The wife of the Marquis of Chengyun also looked at the child, smiled gently, and said, "I understand. My second brother followed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. First, he wanted to share His Royal Highness's worries, and second, he wanted to realize his ambitions. After this war is over, he will still be that dandy prince. As for my second brother's wife, I can understand her. She is the daughter of a general..."

At this point, the couple smiled at each other and said, "Don't worry, my husband. I am here to look after the family. The children are all in good health."

Song Chunsheng: My eldest sister sends someone to deliver nutritional pills every month. The children's bodies have been tempered since childhood, so there is really no need to worry about their health.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Madam."

"It's not hard, I do all these things willingly."

With my husband's words, no matter how hard life is, it's not bitter at all. I feel sweet in my heart. My husband said that we should know how to cherish our blessings.
