Chapter 96: A Different Little Jiuyi
If possible, Xiao Bi certainly hopes that Wei State can become a place like Ruoshui City.
She even believed that only when a big country like Wei realized the scene described by Ji Fubing could it be considered a real success.
But she is also a very realistic person. It is impossible for Wei State to become a weak water city, let alone Ji Fubing's ideal country.
At least she will never see such "success" in this life.
Xiao Bi sighed softly.
"Xiao Luoluo, has your father ever told you that he thinks Ruoshui City is better than Da Wei?"
Wei Luo shook his head: "My father said that hearing is false and seeing is believing. If you want to get the answer, you should go and see with your own eyes."
"Are you planning to go back to Ruoshui City with me?"
"Auntie Xiaojiu, don't you welcome me?"
"Xiao Luoluo, do you want to hear the truth?" Xiao Bi stroked her chin and looked at him.
"That's all, you'd better tell lies." Wei Luo's mouth pursed.
Perhaps because she thought he looked so cute, Xiao Bi couldn't help but rub the top of his hair again.
"To tell you the truth, the method implemented by Ruoshui City is indeed very good, but it is not suitable for Da Wei.
The reason I don't recommend you go there is because I'm afraid you'll get into trouble.
If you want to govern the Wei Dynasty better and become a good emperor whose name will go down in history, Auntie Xiaojiu would like to share some words of encouragement with you.
That is a sentence you have read well when you were very young - the people are the most important, the country is the second, and the king is the least.
Never think of yourself as a superior king, and never think of yourself as a loner.
No matter when the time comes, as long as you really take the people's livelihood and well-being into your heart, the Wei family's empire will be indestructible."
Wei Luo sat up straight and looked at her: "Xiaojiu Aunt, is this the secret to how well you manage Ruoshui City?"
Xiao Bi patted his cheek: "Ruoshui City is a very small place, and all the successive city lords love the people like their own children, which is why it has its current climate.
Although your Aunt Jiu has been the city lord for several years, she has only continued to move forward along the path explored by her predecessors. Only now can she gain some experience.
The situation in the Wei Dynasty was much more complicated. Various forces were intertwined and their interests were intertwined with each other. It was not easy to secure the throne.
Fortunately, after decades of recuperation, Wei's national strength has been fully restored, laying a very solid foundation for realizing a prosperous age.
Xiaoluoluo..."
Xiao Bi's hand slid down to his shoulder and patted it hard several times.
"You are the Crown Prince of Wei, and you are also a child of my Xiao family. Every inch of Wei's land is soaked in the blood and sweat of my Xiao family's children.
You must cherish the legacy left by your ancestors and respect the contributions of your ancestors.
Aunt Xiao Jiu firmly believes that in your hands, Da Wei will reach unprecedented heights."
"Xiaojiu Aunt..." Wei Luo stared at her eyes, and his mouth suddenly dropped.
What Xiao Bi just said was definitely from the bottom of her heart, and even she herself was very moved.
But when she saw her eldest nephew, who looked very much like her when he was young, looking like he was about to cry, she couldn't help but laugh again.
Wei Luo's tears were still hanging on his face, and all his emotions were destroyed by her smile.
"How come you are still the same as before, always like to cause destruction!" He complained in a low voice.
"Is it really the same as before?" Xiao Bi raised her eyebrows.
Wei Luo was also amused.
Of course Auntie Xiaojiu is different from before.
She used to concentrate on martial arts and the art of war, and the little energy she had left was used to meddle in other things.
She has no control over government affairs, and she is not interested in them.
Everyone, including her father, thought that she would only become a fierce general in her life and would never achieve anything higher.
Moreover, since she was a woman, it was basically impossible for her to become an official in the court, and almost no courtiers really took her seriously.
But who would have thought that by chance, she would actually become the lord of Ruoshui City, reaching a height that was difficult for women in the past dynasties to achieve.
Today, when she talks about governing the country, she is no worse than her father, who has been in power for nearly twenty years.
In terms of knowledge, he even surpassed those senior officials in high positions in the court.
"Little Aunt Jiu, it would be great if you and Uncle Jiu could stay with me."
"You're talking like a child again! If your Uncle Ninth and I stay with you, who will guard the border between Wei and Liuyun for you?"
"You mean..." Wei Luo's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Don't forget that I am still the grandson-in-law of old Duke Huan. Your uncle Ninth is his heir long ago recognized by the old man. Can I stop him from returning to fulfill his filial piety?
As a city lord, I am not an emperor, but I have no intention of being one for the rest of my life.
As long as Liuyun Kingdom dares to plot evil, your Uncle Ninth and I will never stand idly by."
With her guarantee, Wei Luo felt a little relieved, but still felt a little regretful.
Uncle Jiu is also a talented person no less than Aunt Jiu. If he can stay in Wei Jing to serve, it will definitely be a great help to him.
"Okay." Wei Luo stood up, shook off the dust and grass clippings on his robe, and said in a deep voice, "As long as you and Uncle Nine are happy, it will be the same wherever you stay."
Xiao Bi said: "Why did he suddenly change back to his former appearance? A sixteen-year-old boy should be more lively and be careful not to be disliked by girls!"
"Tch—" Wei Luo said disapprovingly: "Who cares that they like them? They all chirp like sparrows, which is annoying!"
Xiao Bi also stood up.
She looked at her eldest nephew, who was half a head lower than her, and said with a smile: "I will remember what you said today, don't slap me in the face in the future!"
Wei Luo rolled his eyelids: "A girl that I can like must have the same goals as me and must be knowledgeable.
Those women who can only play a little clever and always want to step on others to get the upper hand, no matter how high they are or how beautiful they are, it’s useless.”
"I know, our little Luoluo is the most noble and handsome young man in the Wei Dynasty, how can we fall in love with ordinary people who are vulgar and vulgar?" Xiao Bi smiled even more happily.
"Master Xiao Jiu, are you praising yourself?" Wei Luo replied abruptly.
Xiao Bi flicked her finger on his forehead: "Why are you praising yourself? Why don't you go find out how many girls Wei Jing liked me back then?"
If I were really a man, the threshold of Dingguo Palace would have been stepped down by the matchmaker long ago!
Who is like you, who didn't even have a sweetheart when he was sixteen or seventeen years old, and went to complain to his uncle in the middle of the night? "
"Okay -" Wei Luo screamed strangely with a red face.
Uncle Jiu is really henpecked. He even tells Aunt Jiu such private things as what type of girls he likes!
Xiao Bi wanted to tease him a few more words, but she heard a burst of cheers from children outside the grove.
