Chapter 439 On the Importance of Learning a Skill
Mu Qingqing took the plan from Ye Tianran's hand and read it page by page.
The entire plan is written neatly and cleanly, and it can be seen that Ye Tianran was very serious and rigorous when making this plan.
From the number of personnel in tens of thousands and the corresponding scope of work to the cost of raw materials in a few cents, everything is clearly marked.
Mu Qingqing took out a calculator, randomly extracted a few pages of data, and checked them one by one, but did not find any errors.
Mu Qingqing nodded with satisfaction and returned the calculator and plan to Ye Tianran.
Ye Tianran took his plan and the newly opened calculator in a daze.
He knew that his father had a calculator in his hand, which was given to him by his master.
My father treasures it very much. This calculator is very fast and convenient for calculating accounts!
Ye Tianran really didn't expect to have such an unexpected surprise today, and his face was full of joy.
"Cough cough!" Mu Qingqing clenched her fist and coughed twice, attracting the attention of Emperor Tai'an.
Seeing Emperor Tai'an looking over, she stood up and said to him, "Your Majesty, I plan to hand over the follow-up of the retired soldiers' affairs to the Third Prince. I will ask him to make a detailed report for you to review."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Tai'an glanced at Ye Tianran and saw that he was standing there calmly, like a gentleman, elegant and gentle.
Emperor Tai'an had already recognized the talents of his third son.
Plus, with Mu Qingqing guiding him from behind, he feels even more at ease!
"Sixth brother and sister-in-law, the follow-up work and pension of retired soldiers are settled here! Tianran is still young and lacks a lot of experience. He needs your advice."
The majestic face of Emperor Tai'an was full of smiles at this time: Since the birth of my sixth brother's wife, my life has been so comfortable!
You don’t have to take care of the child yourself, the key is that your sixth brother and sister-in-law teach him so well!
The issue of where retired soldiers should go has always been my biggest headache!
My sixth brother’s wife just took over this mess and even used the labor of retired soldiers to create new wealth!
One word: awesome! Two words: awesome!
My national treasury, which has been in deficit every year, has made a quantitative leap thanks to the financial support from my sixth brother and his wife (who took advantage of the situation to rob).
Now that the national treasury is full, I am very confident.
From now on, when I talk to the rulers of the other three kingdoms, I will speak a little louder and no longer have to be so timid and humble.
Mu Qingqing nodded slightly and saw Ye Zhaoxue looking at her frequently, afraid that she had forgotten her existence.
Mu Qingqing smiled at her, bright and shining, "Zhaoxue, come here too!"
Ye Zhaoxue suddenly felt as if he heard the sound of nature: Master finally remembered me!
"Master, Xue'er has listened to you in the palace these days and made up for the lessons she missed. If you don't believe me, you can test Xue'er."
Mu Qingqing had a smile on her face. "Master believes you are the one! You can read these textbooks after the New Year. After you finish reading them, tell Master which one you like better? Or which book arouses your interest more?"
Ye Zhaoxue took a few thin books from Mu Qingqing's hands and asked respectfully, "Master, after Xue'er finishes reading these books, do you want to take another test?"
Mu Qingqing shook her head and pointed at the books and said, "Zhaoxue, these books are all about different types of topics. After you finish reading, tell Master which topic you like more, and then Master will focus on letting you work on that aspect."
Ye Zhaoxue glanced at Ye Tianran blankly, then lowered his eyes to look at the book in his hand, and asked Mu Qingqing ignorantly: "Master, doesn't Xue'er need to take the test?"
Why do I feel like Master is treating me and my third brother differently? Is it because I'm not smart enough?
Mu Qingqing shook her head again and said seriously: "Zhaoxue, as a princess of a country, in addition to learning basic etiquette and poetry, Master hopes that you can have a skill! You can contribute to your country and people! No matter which book you master, you can become a leader in this industry!"
High-end skills (flashy but not practical) for communication between literati, such as poetry and songs, can only add some fun to life and are not very practical.
Only by truly mastering a technology, fashion design, food innovation, the study of various embroidery techniques, the language and culture of various countries...
Only in this way can you use the skills you have learned to make yourself valuable!
After hearing what Mu Qingqing said, the prince wanted to ask: Sixth Aunt, are you still accepting disciples?
It was just his personality. Even though he had thought about it a thousand times, he still couldn't open his mouth when it came to actually proposing his request to Mu Qingqing directly.
He could only stand there in a depressed mood, constantly criticizing Ye Zhaoxue in his heart: "Royal sister, do you have a pig brain? You don't even grasp such a good opportunity. If it were my brother, he would definitely seize this opportunity...
Ye Zhaoxue spoke without much confidence, "Master, if Xue'er learns just one of these, can she really help the people?"
In my entire life, apart from being pursued by noble ladies and wandering around, I have either attended this birthday party or that flower-viewing party.
He has never really done anything good for the people!
Of course, before she recognized Mu Qingqing as her master, the people of Donglin Kingdom were just a group of lowly ants in her eyes. Who would care about the life and death of ants!
After experiencing a lot of things in recent times, Ye Zhaoxue finally repented under the guidance of Mu Qingqing and stopped living in a muddle-headed way.
Ye Zhaoxue can be said to have been reborn and become a new person.
Among these children, Ye Zhaoxue is the most favored by Emperor Tai'an!
Emperor Tai'an was very pleased to see that Ye Zhaoxue had changed from his usual arrogant and cunning appearance. "Xiaowu, come here and show your father what books your master gave you. Your father can also give you some references."
Ye Zhaoxue glanced at Mu Qingqing carefully, and seeing that she had no objection, he walked to the opposite side of Emperor Tai'an with the books in both hands and placed all the basic books on the dragon table.
Ye Zhaoxue had previously angered several of her tutors in the palace to the point that they wanted to quit their jobs. She either worked hard for three days and slacked off for two days in class, or she took advantage of the situation and affected other students.
If she had not been in her own bedroom in recent days, reading and practicing calligraphy without sleep and food, Emperor Tai'an would not have been very impressed with her attitude towards study.
Emperor Tai'an flipped through the books one by one, explaining them to Ye Zhaoxue, and finally asked, "Xiaowu, among these books, which skill is the most attractive to you?"
Ye Zhaoxue scratched his ear, looked at this book, then looked at that book, and finally extended his index finger to poke at the language and art exchanges among countries.
She spoke weakly, "Father, Xue'er thinks this is a good book. She can learn various languages of other countries and serve as a special envoy with the foreign diplomatic corps."
Ye Zhaoxue didn't really want to learn about languages, it was just that she didn't know the contents of the other books.
As for clothing design, I only know how to put on clothes, and I have to rely on palace maids to help me put on clothes, otherwise I can't even figure out which piece to wear first and which one to wear later.
Let alone culinary innovation, I can't even tell the difference between garlic and onion, let alone innovation.
Planting trees and farming seems dirty and tiring, and it’s scary just thinking about it, let alone going to the fields in person to get familiar with the habits of the seedlings.
As for embroidering clothes, quilts and handkerchiefs, my ten fingers are still aching when I think of the time when I learned to embroider the simplest purse.
