The sky is filled with wind and snow, and the atmosphere of the New Year in the capital is getting more and more intense. From the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, many children have already started to set off firecrackers!

People are full of people who are happy and afraid of heat. This is a tradition that has been left since the White Mountains and Black Waters. Therefore, every winter, the Forbidden City is lively and lively.

Especially on this snowy day, from the empress to the concubines, eunuchs and palace maids, everyone likes to watch the snow around the fire, eat hot pot and drink some hot wine.

Starting from the twelfth lunar month, all palaces will start to decorate lights and prepare for the atmosphere of the Spring Festival, and the Palace of Yangxin is no exception. The big four-year-old commanded a group of small eunuchs to replace all the red lanterns.

The palace lantern that had faded a little faded for more than half a year was replaced with brand new and red tributes. It looked so festive from a distance!

The clever palace maids used silk to tie up various flowers and hung them on the dry branches. From a distance, they looked like a tree of flowers blooming.

Everyone is happy when people come and go. There are many things to pay attention to in the first lunar month of the twelfth lunar month. All the people who serve in the palace are not allowed to be slim and smile happily, otherwise the master will be able to beat him up when he sees it!

Logically speaking, the eunuch who was the chief eunuch should understand the rules, but today he was in the courtyard of the Yangxin Palace, whispering and cursing in his mouth.

The other eunuchs dare not ask or say anything, for fear of being bad, and they hurry up and work!

"Senior Xi... what are you muttering?" A voice sounded from outside the door.Senior Xi thought to himself, who is this? You dare to care about me? As a result, he turned his head and smiled immediately.

"Oh...Master Ermao, you haven't been to the palace for several days to serve you. I'm here to pay your respects!"

When the other eunuchs who worked were seeing that the general manager Ermao was coming, they all lay in the snow and kowtowed. Ermao raised his hand and asked them to continue working.

"You are not afraid of letting His Majesty see it? Who is messing with you again during the New Year?"

"Hey... Which person am I? If someone else gives me a look, we have to greet him with a smile! I am angry for His Majesty... In the West Nubing Pavilion, the imperial master is here again, and it has been an hour of hard work!"

"Long lively to give him face and force him to listen to his nagging, but you can't stop it? Your Majesty will go to Chuxiu Palace to compensate the Queen Mother for the snow, so he has no eyesight to see him?"

"Haha...who are you talking about? Old man?"

"No... who else can you have besides him? Go and listen... Why can't you finish reciting the Three Character Classic?"

Ermao walked to the door carefully and listened. Sure enough, Weng Tonghe was crying when he spoke inside!

In the western warm pavilion of Yangxin Palace, under the plaque for the king, Emperor Tongzhi was meeting his teacher Weng Tonghe. This old man had been inscribed with an hour.

At first, Zai Chun gave him some face and listened attentively, but later he found out that he was endless. He had no choice but to read the memorial while reading it, and then threw it to him, so that he could just say it!

Zaichun knew that the Qingliu people had not encountered any good things this year, and all their oppositions were rejected. The Qingshui Master started to build up, and the Jinghan Railway and the stock market expanded.

They wanted to stop them but didn't stop them. If they had resentment in their hearts, let them say it!

As a result, the old man’s Three Character Classic was endless. He sat on a chair and wiped his tears to the emperor Chen Poli!

"Woo... Your Majesty! I am dedicated to the public. I am really not determined to oppose Your Majesty's major plan of reform. I just hope that Your Majesty's reform will be slower and more stable!"

"In the past, the old minister didn't know anything and was very resistant to Western things! But after experiencing so many things, he went to the Chinese Naha to personally inspect it. Now he already knows that the trend in this world is unstoppable!"

"The old minister no longer opposes industry, nor does it opposes railways and navy... The old minister just begs His Majesty to be slower, slower!"

"Since ancient times, it is important to be hasty, and if it is too fast, there will be problems! Your Majesty, think about it, so many projects make the construction period so tight, we don't have that much money, so we can only borrow it!"

"I borrowed the British and Xiao Letian... Isn't I going to pay interest in the end? If the interest cannot be paid, I have to give it shares!"

"This is the lifeline of the country. How can it be held in the hands of the enemy? Isn't our Qing Dynasty dangerous?"

"So the old minister kept saying, "Low, we should save as much money as we can do as much as we can. In the end, it's all our court's. Isn't that good?"

"Your Majesty, it takes a lot of manpower to build industries and railways.... Have you ever thought that hundreds of thousands of people were taken away from the countryside, who will plant this place?"

"Your Majesty! I have been out of Beijing for inspection several times, and I have also heard the reactions of many local officials... Zhili, Shanxi, Shandong, Henan... There are a large number of young and middle-aged laborers in these provinces who abandon their land and work!"

"No farming is not stable, no farming is not stable! After all, ordinary people have to eat, and no food will starve people to death... Long live the life, the food for the countryside relief during heavy snow this winter must be prepared, and we must prepare for the rainy days!"

"Wuwuwu... The old minister is just a fool. He always wants our Qing Dynasty to become an industry, but in the end, we will not ruin our agriculture, and we cannot lose both hands!"

"Your Majesty... I am just a little infatuated. I beg your Majesty to see that the old minister has a little bit of credit... I will help the farmers! I can't let the land be abandoned..."

"We can't just destroy agriculture... Woo woo woo woo woo!"

The old man cried after he finished speaking, and then cried twice after talking, and then continued to cry again!

Ermao looked at the pocket watch and thought that he had to give him a step to make him clear, so he quickly cleared his throat at the door, "Your Majesty! The Queen Mother sent a slave to ask, when will this lunch start?"

Zaichun was waiting for someone to rescue him. When he heard that it was Ermao's voice, he quickly said, "Is the Empress Dowager waiting anxiously? I have said a few more words to Master Weng and you will go there immediately!"

Zaichun smiled and said to the old man, "Master Weng! What do I don't know about your thoughts? You are so kind to the people are afraid of hunger!"

"I am not a foolish lord, of course I know the truth that there is no farmer's instability! The current chaos is all problems that arise in development!"

"Let's do this. I'm ordering the Ministry of Revenue to purchase another batch of overseas grain. We won't feel panic when we prepare it! As for the projects you mentioned, they are all short-term!"

"The Beijing-Han Railway will be repaired in more than three years. At that time, the workers who built the road will still have to return to their hometowns to farm!"

"Master, don't worry. People pay attention to having more children and more blessings. They will give birth. Just get through this chaotic period... It's getting late, so I won't keep you!"

"It's the New Year, Master Weng has a good New Year. Let's talk about what's going on after the New Year!"

After coaxing and persuading, Weng Tonghe finally persuaded him to leave. When the old man walked out of the door, Ermao quickly saluted Qianxun and peeped at him to find that half of Weng Tonghe's hair was snow-white!
