Poor family mother and son

fire……"

Xiaobao: "But there's a reason for everything!"

Chu Qing: "Everything happens for a reason, and my mother doesn't have the right to enforce the law, right? In fact, you can figure it out yourself, right?"

Therefore, the emperor never really wanted me to die or to destroy our family. "

Chu Xinghai's eyes widened, he didn't quite understand.

The history he can understand is roughly within the range of what he can remember... Well, this child is also precocious, he can remember when he is probably a little over a year old?

While talking, the sweet potatoes on the stove had been steamed. Chu Qing mashed them into a paste with a spoon, then mixed them with glutinous rice flour and powdered sugar, and kneaded them into dough.

Then rub it, rub it, and pull it into pieces. Chu Xinghai slapped each piece with a small meaty palm, and it turned into a palm-sized sweet potato cake.

Although the Chu family is wealthy, they never "waste" food.

For example, the endless pancakes and steamed buns used to be grilled and steamed for the next meal, but now they are collected and cut into cubes, stir-fried in a pot without oil, until golden and crispy, and then pressed with a rolling pin. Crush it into powder and it becomes bread crumbs.

It can be said that the "frugality" of the Chu family is tinged with luxury.

Chu Qing wrapped the pancakes Chu Xinghai took out in bread crumbs and put them in a pan, deep-fried until golden and crispy, and then skewered them with bamboo skewers to form flat skewers.

Chu Qing said: "If the emperor is really cruel, how can we have a chance to eat sweet potato cakes?"

Chu Xinghai let the sweet potato pancake tumble in his little mouth with a hissing sound. He wanted to chew it but was afraid of burning it, and was anxious if he didn't chew it.

Xiaobao, on the other hand, was much more calm. Like Chu Qing, he had an average taste for sweets, so he was not in a hurry to eat them and said, "That's because he is reluctant to part with our family's money!"

Chu Qing didn't answer.

Xiaobao was just angry.

He fully understood in his heart that if the emperor was really serious, couldn't he just confiscate the Chu family?It's better than raising tigers to cause trouble.

Chu Qing took out the scallops immersed in the bucket into a small basin. These scallops had spit out the sediment, put them directly into the hot pan and stir-fried them. After the shells were all open, they took them out and poured in the sauce with a lot of minced garlic. It's especially delicious when you pour it on.

Chu Xinghai's Voss ancestry does not affect his love for sea food at all. Not only does he eat his own sweet potato pancake skewers, but he also grabs the scallop meat dug by Xiaobao.

Although scallops are also Xiaobao's favorite, he doesn't eat them sweetly.

Because ever since Chu Qing wrote to the emperor when he had nothing to do, he felt uneasy.

Today I finally couldn't stand it any longer and asked: "Mom, if our things are really rented out, wouldn't the emperor ask the Ministry of Industry to dismantle them for study?"

Xiaobao's main concern is the mortar.

The barrel structure is actually not complicated, what is complicated is the shell.

But no matter how complicated it is, as long as you take it apart and think about it, you can always imitate it, right?
Chu Qing said: "Whether it's glass or cement, those formulas won't be kept secret for long;

As long as the scale of production is expanded and workers use more, it will eventually leak out. We only need to make money and build a brand in the initial stage;
But not the mortar;

The mortar needs to hit the firing pin of the artillery with a shell to achieve launch, of which the firing powder is the most critical;
With the current productivity, they can imitate cannon barrels and shells, but they cannot imitate the firing powder;

Mom, I can take out the mercury fulminate with all my beard and tail without blowing myself up to death. That’s considered a superpower. They can’t do that. "

They don't even understand gunpowder, Chu Qing said in her heart.Chu Qing: “We can also make larger caliber cannons, these are not problems;
My mother just wants the emperor to realize that cooperation is a peaceful and long-term way for both of us to get along. She is not compromising to him, but hopes that the emperor can compromise. "

Xiaobao: "Can he?"

"Boom!" Chu Xinghai couldn't understand what his adoptive mother was talking to his eldest brother. He was full and finally got sleepy. He staggered to eat, but fell asleep in Xiaobao's arms.

Before Chu Qing could answer, the little starfish had already fallen asleep in his arms. Xiaobao had no choice but to pick up the little starfish and prepare to send it to the cabin.

"He will compromise," Chu Qing said, "Don't worry, go sleep with your brother."

Chu Qing thought Xiaobao would not come again, but she didn't expect Xiaobao to come out again after delivering the child.

There is no way, there is a "simple-minded" mother, and the son cannot rest assured.

Expecting an emperor to compromise others, my mother is not "simple-minded", what else can she be?
"Don't waste food." Xiaobao pointed to the scallops, which were still warm and not cold.

Xiaobao sat down and poked the scallop meat with a bamboo skewer to completely break its connection with the shell. He asked, "Mother, how do you think the emperor will compromise?"

Chu Qing thought for a while and said: "This problem can be complex at times, simple at times. At its most complex, it's a political question; at its simplest, it's just a mathematical question."

Since we are fighting against the emperor, how can it be simple?Xiaobao didn't think about the second part of the sentence at all and just asked: "What kind of political question is it?"

Chu Qing: "Although the emperor's status is high, no matter how high he is, he is still just an individual, and he has to rule a country. Such a big thing must not be done by him alone;
So he must have helpers, such as economic groups and political groups;
My mother didn’t understand much about history and politics, and she can’t remember anything as time goes by, so she can’t make much sense, but there is one thing…”

Xiaobao: "As long as we work together, it will definitely not last long?"

Chu Qing: "That's almost the meaning, but it's not all the same. As long as a group has the same beliefs, it will have the same goals and can be long-lasting;

But imperial power is not;
Remember "Journey to the West" we read together, right?Sun Wukong was ridiculed for being a bute, and made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace. The Jade Emperor could not subdue him, so he asked Tathagata Buddha for help;
Tathagata made a bet with Wukong on whether he could escape from Wuzhishan. Wukong said, "Emperors take turns, come to my house next year," and said that if he won, he would ask the Jade Emperor to make room for him;

It can be seen that everyone is equal to the emperor and everyone wants the imperial power;

Throughout history, it is true that emperors took turns, some were selling straw sandals, and some were begging;

From this point of view, the throne of the emperor is actually a concrete benefit fruit;

Anyone who wants to sit in this position must unite various forces, but after sitting in the position, he will face the problem of distribution of rights and interests;

Therefore, the conflict between imperial power and aristocratic families, imperial power and ministerial power, etc., has been the main subject of political infighting in the past dynasties;
This shows that the emperor must be a person who can compromise, otherwise he will not last long. "

Xiaobao did not comment on these words, but only asked: "We are neither a noble family nor a prime minister. How can the emperor compromise with us?"

Chu Qingdao: “This is the mathematical problem I’m talking about;

We have artillery and a large number of people, and now our reputation among the people is getting better and better;

If the emperor wants to annihilate us, given the current level of civil unrest in various places, the balance of the treasury, and the will of the people, is it worthwhile to fight with us?
How many troops, how much money, and how long does he need to spend?

And what can he gain and lose by annihilating us? "

The little BMW said: "In that case, why don't we..."

Adolescent children are indeed prone to arrogance. Chu Qing did not wait for him to finish, and directly added: "Ask yourself the questions you just asked."
