Gu Jingyun bowed to Qin Xinfang and then walked to his seat and sat cross-legged on his seat.

Because he was named Taifu, so this time his seat was arranged under Qin Xinfang.

This year's position has changed a lot. Many new faces appeared at the palace banquet. Qin Xinfang looked at the corners of his mouth with a slight twitch. According to the current development speed, after the next spring, he will be able to serve as an official and concentrate on taking care of the children at home.

Niuniu seems to have entered the rebellious period early, and she has been very disobedient recently. Fortunately, the situation is not very serious, but the length of this rebellious period is unknown. What if she has been rebellious like Qinghe for more than ten years?

Girls don't have such a long growth period, so he has to put more energy on his daughter.

As for government affairs, if you can delegate power, you should delegate power, or you should train more future generations.

Thinking about it, Qin Xinfang turned her head to look at her nephew, and sighed slightly in her heart. If Qinghe entered the court, it would be easier for him to become an official.

Niuniu looked around and saw that the seat next to her cousin was empty, so she broke free from her mother's hand and sat directly beside him, ignoring her parents' staring eyes, "Cousin, can I sit here with you?"

Gu Jingyun glanced at her and said, "Take a step back."

Niuniu curled her lips, but moved the seat back a step obediently, and knelt behind Gu Jingyun's side, "Sister-in-law should come, so I can sit with her."

Gu Jingyun poured himself a cup of tea, and said calmly: "She wants to take An An."

"An'an is so obedient, so she can enter the palace. She entered last year, and now she is older. Why can't she enter?" unhappy.

She saw the foreign envoys entering the arena from the opposite side, her eyes widened for a moment, she looked at the person opposite without blinking, her little hand couldn't help tugging on Gu Jingyun's sleeve, and lowered her voice in surprise He said: "Cousin, cousin, look, look at the people opposite, their hair is yellow, my God, their eyes are blue..."

Gu Jingyun said helplessly: "Didn't you already meet?"

"But there are not so many, and they are all so beautiful, and the clothes on their bodies are also very special..." Niuniu looked at them without blinking, curious.

In the past 20 years, due to the weakening of the national power of the Great Chu and the instability of the border, the Silk Road has been cut off on the road, and few businessmen from the Western Regions have come by land.

Most of Chu's foreign trade is by sea, so Guangzhou and other coastal areas have a lot of imported products, and you can see these foreign people more often.

The capital is inland, and Western Region merchants who landed on the coast rarely come here, but there are also some. A few years ago, when Bai Yitang was pursuing Qin Wenyin, he took Niuniu out to play every day. He wandered around the capital, so he naturally saw these foreigners. , but most of them are wearing Dachu's clothes, unlike the guests who came today, they all wear their own country's clothes, regardless of the person, just looking at the clothes, they are full of exotic customs.

Even Gu Jingyun couldn't help but look at it twice curiously, not to mention the child Niu Niu?

Gu Jingyun put down the teacup, and said softly, "Pay attention to your etiquette."

Niu Niu's eyes staring at the other side instantly restrained a lot, and she only looked at the other side quietly.

There were quite a few envoys who came to the banquet, including Le Dynasty and Siam in the south, Yilibali and Tatars in the north, and even Wacha, who was fighting with Tatars, sent people here.

North Korea and Japan in the east also sent envoys, as well as envoys from small countries in the Western Regions, who directly occupied a part of the hall.

Except for envoys from the Western Regions, envoys from other countries all came here with political purposes, while commercial and cultural purposes came later.

If the emperor and courtiers of the Great Chu were not well aware of the current national strength of their country, or suddenly saw so many foreign envoys coming to congratulate them, they would definitely think that they could already become a kingdom of heaven like the Han and Tang Dynasties.

Faced with so many foreign envoys coming to the DPRK, Li An actually had mixed feelings. Worrying about their Dachu not being strong enough now, these envoys are also very confident, and Dachu's advantage is not great when negotiating.

If they unite to dig a hole for Da Chu, Da Chu may not be able to jump over without falling.

I am happy that there are opportunities when there is a crisis. The arrival of these people is a new development opportunity for Da Chu. Although the national power of Da Chu is not as good as before, it can barely be regarded as a family and a business. If the internal contradictions can be transferred to the outside, Then domestic development will definitely be more harmonious.

Gu Jingyun is very happy to see the results, because their Yunlu Academy will start after the spring, and the academy will train a large number of craftsmen. They need a lot of jobs. It is important to open up the domestic market, but it is also possible to open foreign trade channels. important.

Especially for people from the Western Regions who came here with a business attitude, as well as Tatars and Yilibali who border on Dachu and have high spending power. He believes that as long as there are enough economic benefits, official and private resistance to Yunlu Academy will be eased and even turned to support them.

Although the college now recruits only female students, Baolu is in charge of the management in name, but in fact it is the husband and wife who are at the helm together. few.

For example, the students who enter the school can’t afford the tuition and need to work part-time. Which materials can be provided by the college and which need to be paid by the students themselves? How to repay the expenses of studying in the academy in one year, and how to operate it, these have to be worked out one by one.

At the same time, they also needed to find a good business partner. Baolu couldn't do the complicated things by herself. She wanted to do it herself, but Gu Jingyun was afraid that she would die of exhaustion, so she offered to help.

Therefore, he knew the future development path of Yunlu Academy best, and the people sitting across from him were all potential partners in the future.

For partners, Gu Jingyun thought he was polite and generous, so the person opposite raised his glass to him, and he thought for a while before offering a glass in return.

This made many courtiers in the hall stare wide-eyed. Is this still the cold and arrogant Gu Zhuangyuan?

Wen Dun put down his wine glass, lowered his eyes with a smile on his lips, and said almost inaudibly: "Gu Qinghe is a little more popular."

Qimuge sat beside him, looked up at the opposite side, and replied in a low voice: "He has a beloved daughter who will be two years old in February."

If you have a wife and a daughter, you will naturally have more fireworks on your body.

Wen Dun nodded slightly, "You still insist on staying in Dachu?"

Qi Muge straightened his body involuntarily, and slightly raised his eyes to look at him, "Cousin, Mr. Gu and Mr. Li founded an academy, which specializes in teaching women various crafts, including planting, breeding, weaving and carpentry. It is the most lacking on the grassland."

"Can you learn?"

"No, but I can ask Mr. Li to let us Tatars also enroll."

Wen Dun finally sat up straight, turned his head to look at Qimuge solemnly, and asked softly, "How sure are you?"

"Sixty percent," Qimuge said confidently, "Cousin, Mr. Li is a very generous person. I believe that as long as I continue to work hard, the possibility will increase."

Wen Dun was thoughtful, "What do you think if we list this request as the content of the conversation between the two countries?"

"The courtiers of Dachu will not agree, but instead attract the attention of Yunlu Academy and hinder its development."

"But the development of Yunlu Academy will have a greater effect on Dachu, and our Tatars will lag behind even more."

"Cousin, our purpose is not war," Qi Muge said solemnly: "Our purpose is to develop, to make the subjects on the grassland better and better, to no longer suffer from poverty, and to reduce their dependence on Da Chu, right? ?"

Wen Dun looked down at her, and said softly: "It seems that Da Chu's education is still very useful..."

Qi Muge lowered his head meekly.

Wen Dun slid the finger on his thumb, nodded for a while and said: "I will tell Khan that there are many princesses in the royal court, and the marriage is fine without you, but I am willing to give you time, but the royal court does not want to marry you." There will be a long wait, so you have to come up with your results as soon as possible."

"Also," Wen Dun paused, glanced at Na Ren who was sitting and chatting with the noble daughter of Da Chu, and said, "Na Ren has to go back to the grassland with me, she is not young, she should be married."

"Cousin can talk to Na Ren by himself."

Wen Dun nodded, as long as Qi Muge didn't stop him, taking Na Ren away would be much smoother.

His eyes swept over the envoys at the bottom, and the corner of his mouth slightly raised: "Mr. Gu and your Mr. Li are still so affectionate?"

Qi Muge raised his head suspiciously, "It's just too much."

The smile on the corner of Wen Dun's mouth was wider, "Then there will be a good show tonight."

Qi Muge was a little uneasy, but when she glanced at the cold person across from her, she felt at ease again. It's not that no one has thought about Mr. Gu, but Mr. Li is the only one in his heart.

And in the palace, who can design Gu Jingyun.

If he is consistent, no matter how tricky others are, it will be in vain. This kind of thing mainly depends on the man.

Qi Muge calmed down, and planned to go to Gu's mansion to pay New Year's greetings to Li Baolu in the third year of junior high school, and then mention her going to Yunlu College to teach.

A wave of singing and dancing passed, and the people in the venue began to toast each other, and some people who knew each other sat together directly.

Peng Dan held up the wine glass as usual to toast Qin Xinfang, Qin Xinfang raised the wine glass and was about to return the toast to Gu Jingyun and intercepted it, "Peng Shoufu, my uncle is pulling out needles recently, so I don't drink alcohol, this glass is made by Qinghe, please don't blame me."

Peng Dan smiled, "Junde has such a filial nephew, I am too happy, how can I blame him?"

He raised his head and drank a cup, looked at Qin Xinfang and asked with concern: "But I'm not feeling well, why do I have to pull out the needle?"

Qin Xinfang smiled and said, "Old problem, it has been raining and snowing recently, so my body is a little heavy, and my family members are worried, so I asked Imperial Physician Liu to come to the door for an injection. Recently, I have to avoid alcohol."

Peng Dan nodded and sighed: "You still have to pay attention, I'm not too young to wait."

Qin Xinfang nodded with a smile, and glanced at Niu Niu beside Gu Jingyun, "Isn't it?

Niu Niu was gnawing on snacks, when she heard the words she raised her head in confusion, a shadow covered her just as she was about to speak, and a voice of biting her tongue rang in her ears, "This is Mrs. Gu? The Japanese envoys are toasting you .”

Fuso people?

Niu Niu's eyes lit up, and she looked up at the person who came.
