199. Father and Son Conversation
...
The nights in Suzhou City are very gorgeous, and they are different from the crowds of people lifting curfews in various provinces and counties in the northern region, which adds a bit of rare tranquility...
On the Zhaixing Tower in the Su family's residence, Liu Ce stood at the highest point and looked at the brightly lit scenery on the street market in Suzhou. He was a little crazy...
On the river and lake, a boat carrying singers performs his skills. The people on both sides of the river hold lights and shout. The lights on the boat set against the lake, forming a perfect reflection...
On the side of the shore, the young girls in their prime, wearing beautiful silk shirts, all of them put their lovesickness in the lotus lanterns. When the lotus arms lightly pluck the lake water to send away the lotus lanterns, they kept praying that they could win the happy heart of their wishes.
In the market, the groom with lights was dragging the cargo merchants from all over the country, leisurely walking on the spacious main street, please wave your whip and drive towards your destination.
The patrolman Wu Hou was patrolling the streets with a whistle stick in his hand to prevent illegal people from disturbing public order and trying to maintain this hard-won peaceful scene.
Liu Ce sighed and sat on the chair prepared on the Zhaixing Tower, enjoying this rare peace.
"Maybe, I shouldn't be this emperor, I should be a rich man here..."
As soon as this thought came to Liu Ce, he immediately scattered in his mind with a smile.
My mission is to maintain this peace. The crisis is far from being resolved. The Monroeans were invaded. The yellow-covered Chu State was aggressive. The trade routes in the Western Regions had not been opened yet, and the overseas colonial economy had not been opened yet. If you slacken at this time, everything would be the moon in the water, the shadow in the mirror, and it would be a flash in the pan.
Maybe I have been traveling through time for ten years, just for all this in front of me? No matter how tired or wronged I feel, or if I don’t want to do, I must cheer up and solve them one by one. The road I have to go is still very long and it is far from reaching the end.
"Silang, you are here, it's easy for you to find..."
Not long after sitting down, the biological mother, Shi Yunlan, and her father Jiang Xun, stepped onto the Zhaixing Tower.
Liu Ce stood up and bowed to them. Strictly speaking, if he had today, the Jiang family's strong help was indispensable.
When he seized the position of former military commander in the Far East, if Jiang Xun had not been willing to offend Li Suwen at the critical moment and handed over the seal of the commander into his hands, perhaps there would be no Liu Ce today and the Han Dynasty today.
After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, the Jiang family used assets to fund Liu Ce to stabilize the situation in the north without paying attention. This was not a small amount, and Liu Ce also remembered it in his heart.
So far, only the Jiang family has strictly followed the policies proposed by Liu Ce, so that the people can enjoy the rights they never dared to think about before.
So Liu Ce had already accepted this couple's parents in his heart and had long stopped caring about their abandonment and causing this body to be displaced for more than ten years. After all, he could deeply feel that the Jiang family was doing their best to compensate for the mistakes they had made before.
"Father, mother, please sit down and talk..."
"Silang, I made some pastries for my mother. I don't know if it suits your taste. You will just eat some, ah..."
"Mom is so hard..."
These days, Liu Ce has lived in the Jiang family. Shi Yunlan is busy and tries her best to make Liu Ce eat and live well, as if she is afraid that he will suffer grievances.
As a father, Jiang Xunsheng naturally would not express his longing for his son. During this period of time, they were talking about family and country affairs. At most, they were concerned about the recent situation of Liu Ce and his wives.
The whole family sat on the rooftop platform of Zhaixing Tower, enjoying the night view of Suzhou, and enjoying this rare reunion time together.
After a long time, Jiang Xun asked, "You are going to leave and return to the capital tomorrow?"
Liu Ce nodded: "It's time to go back. It's almost three months since I came out. There are still a lot of things in the capital waiting for me to go back to deal with. If I don't go back, I'm afraid that some trouble will be a mess again."
Shi Yunlan was really reluctant to let Liu Ce leave and said to him: "Silang, aren't you setting up six ministries now? Are they going to help manage state affairs? There won't be any major happenings when you stay for a few days, right?"
Liu Ce shook his head: "The Six Ministry is just the first establishment. It is difficult to judge whether they can perform their positions at present. Someone must stay by their side and whip them at all times. Maybe in five or six years, they will be able to get into the regular."
Shi Yunlan was waiting for Liu Ce to stay for a few days, but Jiang Xun coughed and said, "Silang is the people of the world. How can he always take care of his family's small matters? It's time to go back. The Han Dynasty was first established, and as an emperor, there are many important things to deal with. Don't let Silang be embarrassed anymore."
Shi Yunlan stopped making any more noises, but turned around and gently wiped the tears in his eyes.
Jiang Xun turned around and said to Liu Ce with a smile: "Don't pay attention to your mother, he is fine, Silang, take advantage of the rare free time today, I want to have a good chat with you, and I want to know what kind of new era you plan to give the people of the Central Atom."
Liu Ce replied: "Nature is a new era of enriching the country and strengthening the people, and self-respect and self-love. In my imagination, we Han people should be respected no matter where they go.
Even if you go overseas, those foreign countries will be respectful when they see our Han Dynasty people and dare not offend them. Citizens of the Han Dynasty should enjoy respect from all over the world.
We should have a rich living environment. I hope that one day in the future, their lives will no longer be limited to food, rice, oil and salt, but can obtain the life that should belong to them through our own efforts.
As long as this goal can be achieved, the efforts of our generation are worth it. When the Han Dynasty people, both elderly, weak, and young, had a sense of belonging to the land under their feet,
The unbearable humiliation of the past will never happen again."
Speaking of this, Liu Ce stood up and looked outside the Zhaixing Tower.
"Just like this prosperous night view, I hope she can keep it up. For the scenery in front of me, I think all my efforts are worth it..."
Jiang Xun looked at Liu Ce's back and recalled what he said. Suddenly, he felt that this child who had never recognized each other seemed to have an indescribable magic that inspired him to subconsciously trust everything he said.
After a while, Jiang Xun smiled and asked, "Silang, your long-cherished wish is good, but it is difficult to imagine how much effort you have to put in. The great man has hundreds of millions of people.
How can you ensure that everyone lives well and well? Besides, I, a big man, don’t have that gold and silver to meet your conditions now.”
Liu Ce said: "Since there is no Central Plains, then go to the offshore to explore the market, the Western Regions, the Great Food, Sassanthemum, Siam, Western Barbarians, and even many areas that we don't know, all of which will expand them.
I want the entire continent to serve the lives of my great men. No matter how much the price I pay, I cannot stop this grand plan!
When the war in the north and south is pacified, I will let the fleet sail around the sea and find enough living space to accommodate my entire mankind!"
Liu Ce said it was decisive, while Jiang Xun was stunned when he heard it.
Chapter completed!
