Chapter 480 He wants to hear his aunt's analysis
The dangers of Beidu seemed to be completely isolated after returning. Fan Jiang also found his goal in life, which is to grow medicinal materials well!
Originally, in Beidu, I was only thinking about growing potatoes, how to grow potatoes well, how to harvest more potatoes, teach more people, and ensure sufficient logistics and food. When the war was over, although I felt relaxed, the tight strings loosened. , suddenly still a little empty.
I don’t know what to do next.
Unexpectedly, he had another goal on the first day back.
Fan Jiang only felt full of fighting spirit and thought about going to the fields to look at medicinal materials when he got up tomorrow. He hadn't grown medicinal materials in three or four years and had to learn all over again.
I have a plan for my life, and the fatigue from running around in the past few days comes to my mind, and my eyelids feel like they are fighting, and I can't open them.
Qin Yilin saw it, stood up and said, "The two children have been running all the way. Let's rest early today. Let's come back tomorrow."
Father Hu and Mother Hu still had a lot to say, but they also knew that what Qin Yilin said was the truth. Ling Ran looked at Shang Ke, but Da Jiang was obviously exhausted, so he had to let them both rest first.
"Okay, let's go back first. There's still time to come, so there's no rush."
Shui Qing glanced at Da Jiang, who was obviously tired and sleepy, but did not stop him. The group of people sent Hu's mother, Ding Jiajia, and others outside the yard, and then turned back.
Fan Jiang said hello to his family, went straight to his room, threw himself into a soft and fluffy quilt and fell asleep.
Shui Qing smiled and shook her head, closed the door for him, turned around and saw Ling Ran standing tall and motionless in the yard, and said, "Your room is still the one you lived in before."
Ling Ran didn't move, "I know, Auntie, I have some questions I want to ask you alone, is that okay?"
When the war was unclear at the beginning, he didn't think anything of it, but as it went on, he became more and more grateful for his aunt's reminder, and wanted to ask her how to proceed next.
Shui Qing probably knew what Ling Ran wanted to ask, it was nothing more than the things she told Ling Ran when he made the decision to go to Beidu.
She nodded: "Okay, let's talk outside."
There are some things that the fewer people know about, the better.
The moonlight is clear and the distance is hazy.
Ling Ran thought over and over again, and instead of asking what he wanted to ask first, he talked about Fan Jiang: "Dajiang has made great contributions this time, and he will probably be in the front row when it comes to rewards for his merits."
In fact, they not only grow potatoes, but also provide potato seeds, but it is Dajiang's family who provides the potato seeds, and this credit will ultimately rest on Dajiang.
Although Fan Jiang was in charge of Zhu Zhiyuan, the eldest son of King Yan, food was so important that King Yan personally asked about it many times. During the war, it was impossible for him to declare potatoes to be planted nationwide out of selfish motives, but once he settled down, he would definitely promote all of them. area.
A crop with such a high yield per mu will have a huge impact on the entire country!
Shui Qing expected that Fan Jiang had contributed. After all, the three armies went ahead without using food and grass. Food and grass had always been a top priority during the march and the battle! But after Ling Ran said it carefully, he was still a little surprised, "Front row?"
It's just planting potatoes. It's still far behind compared to charging into battle, right?
Ling Ran nodded affirmatively, "Grandpa said that King Yan personally checked in several times."
A smile appeared on Shui Qing's face. Yes, she didn't expect Da Jiang's contribution to be greater than she expected.
Ling Ran continued: "Auntie, do you know? King Yan has three sons in total, all of them are legitimate sons. During the entire war, the second son rushed to the front every time, bravely championed the three armies, and made numerous military exploits, especially in many large-scale battles. During the battle, the second child saved King Yan's life more than once! Many generals said that King Yan had a deep affection for the second child and would make him the prince.
Auntie, what do you think? "
Shui Qing did not rush to answer, but instead asked: "What aspects is the boss responsible for? Has he gone to fight? What is your grandfather's evaluation?" She knew all this, but she still wanted Ling Ran to say it again.
Ling Ran said truthfully: "Sticking to the northern capital and providing military supplies and logistics, as well as reception by civilian officials, he has a reputation for benevolence among officials. He has not been on the battlefield due to poor health;
However, my grandfather said that when it comes to military achievements, the boss takes the greatest credit, because throughout the entire war, the boss was the one strategizing in the rear, arranging the troops, horses, and supplies. Everything was in order, and King Yan never had to worry about the supplies, soldiers, horses, and weapons;
More importantly, when the generals from Jinling attacked Beidu, all the elite forces and even the men in their prime of life in Beidu followed King Yan to fight outside. There were only about 20,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people in the entire Beidu, but he used this to Twenty thousand old, weak, sick and disabled people defended the city of Beidu, and when King Yan came back, they attacked from both inside and outside and won the victory. "
"Others don't know, but my grandfather said that King Yan will definitely make the eldest son the crown prince." After saying this, he looked deeply at Shui Qing.
He still finds it incredible that his aunt asked him to get close to the eldest son, saying that no matter how other people recognized the other sons of King Yan, he only had to think that the eldest son would be the prince.
But now his aunt was really right, and he came to the same conclusion as his grandfather. However, his grandfather followed the Yan King to conquer the world, eating and walking together, but his aunt was thousands of miles away. He didn't care how his aunt calculated it. There are many capable people and strangers. No matter what my aunt said in the past or in the future, he will never tell her and cause trouble for her.
He wanted to hear his aunt's analysis.
Shuiqing finally understood why the child wanted to talk to her alone.
It only comes out of her mouth and enters his ears only.
"I have the same idea as your grandfather. I told you before that the eldest son is the eldest son. Since ancient times, there have always been debates about appointing elders and virtuous people, but most of them put elders first. After all, virtuous people can not be seen and can be disguised, but eldest son is the eldest son. It was put there. The prince is no more quarrelsome than the peasant family. If the virtuous are the main ones, wouldn't it mean that all the sons will compete for performance and kill each other? Therefore, it will not be changed easily in the past dynasties.
Furthermore, brave generals were needed in previous wars, but wise civil servants were needed to govern the country. Although King Yan rebelled because the new emperor was too radical in cutting down vassals, he had a bad reputation after all. Those civil servants were the most orthodox, and they all He firmly supports the primogeniture system, so he must consider the thoughts of the civil servants when establishing a crown prince, right?
The eldest brother is kind and kind, and he will definitely not make things difficult for them when he is in power, but the second eldest son will conquer the world on horseback, and his methods will definitely be more ruthless than the eldest brother. Regardless of whether it is for public or private reasons, the civil servants will unwaveringly support the eldest son.
After King Yan becomes emperor, what he needs most is no longer a son who can charge into battle and kill the enemy, but a son who can govern the country and handle major world affairs. If you say you are King Yan, what would you choose? "
Ling Ran already had the answer in his heart.
At the same time, I thought that after the world was stabilized, it was not military commanders that were needed, but civil servants.
Do you have to change your approach?
