Chapter 1569 Birth

The carriage arrived at the household department, and Mingrui knew from his father that he was not in the capital, and many things happened in the court, the biggest thing was that the two countries on the northeastern border actually exchanged the border people for food.

The northeastern border is not stable. Last winter, the two countries made many attempts and exchanged fire several times. In the end, there was no large-scale war. It was all because the imperial court’s gunpowder weapons were too powerful, and the people on the border of the two countries depended on the imperial court for their lives. He made trouble for his own country, so last winter was fairly stable.

The father and son waited at the door for a while before the officials from the household department came out one after another.

Zhou Shuren and Qiu Yan came out together, and Qiu Yan saw Changyi and his son at a glance, "Master Hou, this is Mingrui who came back to Beijing to pick you up."

The corners of Zhou Shuren's lips turned up, "Mingrui is a filial child. He and his father came to pick me up as soon as I got home. This child is more caring than a girl."

Qiu Yan's eyes were filled with envy. He watched Zhou Hou leave in a huff and then shook his head with a smile. In recent years, Lord Hou has become more and more able to show off his children and grandchildren.

Back in the carriage, Zhou Shuren felt sorry for his skinny grandson, and patted his shoulder, "Come back and take care of him."

"Um."

Chang Yi said, "Father, you have worked hard recently."

Zhou Shuren was indeed exhausted. He was raising food recently. Fortunately, the temperature rose and wild vegetables appeared. Otherwise, he would not have dared to use so much food. "I won't be busy in a few days."

Changyi felt a little emotional, "My son didn't expect that the emperor would agree to exchange grain for the people of the two countries. My son thinks it's better to fight directly to save grain."

Zhou Shuren, "...In this time of food shortage, it doesn't matter if you conquer two countries, it will only add two more burdens, and the integration of the grassland and the northeast tribes has not been completely solved. If there are too many troubles, you are not afraid of capsizing."

He stared again and said, "And you want to exhaust your father and me to death?"

Changyi rubbed his nose, "My son thinks more easily."

Zhou Shuren snorted, "It's more than simple. The household registration of the people that the emperor exchanged for food is different. The second-class people can only build on the border, and they can exchange their household registration according to their merits. You said that in our country, the second-class people can earn food as long as they work hard. If you eat, you won’t starve to death even if you don’t have enough to eat, what will the people of the two countries think?”

Mingrui answered, "The people of the two countries will try their best to become the second-class people of our country, and they will gradually swallow up the two countries without fighting. We only need to wait for the right time to take the two countries in one fell swoop."

Zhou Shuren nodded in satisfaction, "Not bad."

The emperor has ambitions,

But there is no way, the country is now unable to afford the people of the two countries, and the grasslands are still waiting to be built.

Zhou Shuren mentioned a few words. After careful consideration, the emperor came up with the idea of ​​slowly devouring it. The second-class people don't feel bad for using it. The northeast border is already a bitter and cold place, and the people who use it in exchange for construction are just right.

The required manpower is available for land reclamation and city construction.

The other two countries also feel that they have made a profit. Whoever makes the people on the border forget their own country for food, kill and kill, and deter and deter, it is useless at all, it is better to use waste to exchange food and return.

A few days passed in a blink of an eye, Mingrui stayed at home when he came back, Lin Qing hadn't been here, the elders of the Lin family came, just waiting for Zhou Shuren to take a rest, the two families set a wedding day for the two children.

The Zhou family was preparing, and the Yulu of the Wang family was activated. Li Shi took Ran Wan to the Wang family in a hurry, and Zhulan was waiting for the news at home.

Xuemei came back to Beijing to accompany her mother when she had nothing to do, and she happened to be there today, seeing her looking at the door from time to time, comforting her: "The child will not be born for a while, mother, don't worry."

"I'm very worried about this, and I don't know if my dream is accurate. I told your sister-in-law this morning that I dreamed that Yulu was born. Alas, a little tiger jumped into my arms and instantly became A fat doll, a male doll, just after talking to your sister-in-law about this, Yulu activated."

Xuemei smiled, "This is your grandson letting you see it in advance!"

Mrs. Zhao answered: "Yulu is a lucky person, your dream will come true."

Zhulan also found it miraculous, and when she woke up, she told Shuren that the dream was real, and she remembered it very clearly when she woke up, "If you're really a fat boy, I'll be generous and give each of you a piece of jewelry. "

Su Xuan was overjoyed, "You always have treasures in your hands, and we are also happy with Yulu."

Xuemei looked at her daughter-in-law with a smile in her eyes. The daughter-in-law became pregnant at the end of last year. In her hometown, the daughter-in-law was in a good mood and the child came. She is also because her daughter-in-law is pregnant. born.

Time passed quickly, and it was afternoon in a flash. In the Wang family, Yulu was not the first child. She had experience this time, so she didn't panic, but the child just didn't want to come out.

Outside, Dow looked anxiously at the delivery room, thinking over and over in his heart that he must be a son.

Mrs. Li looked at the clock from time to time, "It's been more than three hours."

Ran Wan calmed down, "My little sister has a good pregnancy, and the experienced midwife also said it's okay, mother, don't worry."

Mrs. Li became quiet after hearing what her daughter-in-law said. A daughter-in-law and a daughter-in-law felt different about giving birth. She was concerned about having a daughter-in-law by her side, so she could only stare at the delivery room.

After a while, Yulu scolded the child a lot in her heart, and finally the child made a sound, the voice was very loud, and the cry was so loud that people in the yard really heard it.

The mother-in-law quickly carried the child out, with many creases on her smiling face, "Young master who weighs six and a half catties, congratulations to the old lady and congratulations to the old lady."

The old lady of the Wang family has very good legs and feet, so she doesn't need someone to help her to see her child, "Okay, okay."

Tao's mouth was about to grin to the ears, "Yulu is really blessed."

Feeling at ease, Mrs. Li went to take care of her daughter. Knowing that her daughter was fine, she was already tired and fell asleep, so she went to see the child. The child looked like a daughter, and then followed the mother-in-law into the delivery room.

Ran Wan thought in her heart, sister-in-law is really lucky, no one dares to provoke her two sons in the Wang family.

Zhulan knew the news, "My dream is really true."

Qingxue, "The young master and the old lady are predestined, so I want to kiss you!"

Zhulan thought the same way, even if she wasn't superstitious, she was superstitious, "I want to pick out the presents carefully, let's go, let's go to the warehouse to have a look."

Qingxue smiled, "Yes."

The Wang family has added another male, Wang Wei is very high-profile, and he is going to hold a big banquet, so he even wrote a booklet for this purpose. Mr. Wang personally attended the banquet for the children.

The Wang family's heirs are weak, so high-profile, everyone from the emperor to the officials understands.

The rumors about the daughter of the Zhou family, Wangfu, became more and more serious. Some believed it, while others pushed it on purpose.

In the palace, Zhou Shuren noticed that the prince was secretly looking at him several times, and he was a little puzzled, "Why does the prince always look at the minister? Is there something wrong with the minister today?"
