I’m the Farmgirl You Can’t Mess With
Chapter 789 - Chapter 789 Goal

Chapter 789: Goal Chapter 789: Goal Editor: Atlas Studios Little Bear was dumbfounded as he counted his money.

Mu Yangling guided him and said, “It’s better to teach people how to fish than to give them the fish outright.” Little Bear tilted his head.

“What fish?” Smiling, Mu Yangling explained to him what she meant.

Little Bear supported his chin and said in distress, “But I don’t know how to teach them.” “If you don’t know how to teach them, you can ask your teacher to teach them.

Education can change one’s mindsets and allow them to learn skills that allow them to survive in this world.

So, Little Bear, you can help them build a school!” Little Bear’s eyes lit up.

Qi Haoran stood at the door with his mouth agape as he watched his wife fool his son.

When he slept at night, he asked, “Isn’t this similar to a nursery?” Mu Yangling nodded and said, “But it’s still a little different.

This is just a small school in the farmstead.

Let’s see how long he can last.” Mu Yangling only wanted to use this to nurture her son’s temperament and train his ability.

If a person did good deeds from a young age, they would not become a bad person when they grew up.

Qi Haoran hesitated for a moment before saying in a low voice, “The influence of the nursery is too great.

We could only do this back then because the situation in the north was special.

But we can’t do it elsewhere.” “What if the royal family takes the lead in this matter?

Without the Mu family or you, what if we do it in the name of Big Brother?” After a moment of silence, Qi Haoran said, “No money.” “It’s not like I’m asking you to open schools all over the country now.” Mu Yangling muttered, “We can take it slow.

We’ve got to find something for our descendants to do.

Otherwise, like other dynasties, they’ll become worse generation by generation and die out altogether after a few generationsaEUR|” Qi Haoran replied with a frown, “There are many things to do in a countryaEUR|” “There has to be a goal.

For example, it takes five years to help refugees to settle down, ten years to return to their homeland, 15 years for the people to live and work in peace, 20 years for the people to be able to eat their fill and wear warm clothes, and 50 years for the elderly and children to be provided for.

Going into more detail, we can think about the nationwide literacy rate and grain production rate in five years, etcaEUR| There has to be a goal.

You can’t just approve whatever memorial you receive and deal with things only when they happen.

Now that the Great Qi Dynasty has just been established, although Big Brother is busy, with a goal in mind, he’ll know which direction to go in.

Little Treasure may be able to continue Big Brother’s unfinished business and maintain his empire, but what about the emperors after Little Treasure?

What will they do?” Mu Yangling lay in Qi Haoran’s arms and said in a low voice, “Look at the emperors of the previous dynasties.

How have they fared after the third and fourth generation?

During their tenure, all they did was repair the water conservancy facilities and then hold Imperial Examination according to plan to recruit talents.

As long as they attend the court diligently, review the memorials, and deal with corrupt officials, they will be considered wise.

If the Emperor happens to be a pleasure-seeker, they will use the money accumulated by their ancestors to search for beauties and build opulent residences.

The money will be spent like water, and then jewelry and delicacies will flow into the palace.

If our Great Qi is the same, it will only be a dynasty for one to two hundred years.

Are you willing to let your ambitions and the empire you worked so hard to build be destroyed in the hands of your descendants?” Qi Haoran’s blood boiled as he listened, and he couldn’t help but tighten his grip on Mu Yangling.

Mu Yangling shifted till she lay comfortably in his arms and then said, “That’s why we have to find something for our descendants to do and set them some goals.” Ignoring everything else, the ancients were abnormally respectful to their ancestors.

Very few descendants were willing to break the rules set by their ancestors.

Even if they wanted to break them, there would be a group of hot-blooded ministers who would risk their lives to make sure they stuck to them.

If it was just old-fashioned rules set by the ancestors, it would indeed be very annoying.

But what if they set a goal for the future generations?

There were pros and cons to everything.

Who said that there were no benefits to believing in one’s ancestors?

“What’s your vision for the country?

Tell your descendants and let them work hard towards the vision and protect it.” Qi Haoran’s eyes lit up.

“Strong military might and no foreign intruders!” Mu Yangling nodded slightly.

“Then ask Big Brother what his vision for the country is.” What was Qi Xiuyuan’s vision for the country?

He hoped that in Great Qi, “The elderly could be provided for, the adults could put their talents to use, the children could survive into adulthood, and the disadvantaged groups could all receive adequate support.” This was also the dream of most emperors, but so far, no one had been able to achieve it.

Holding his brother’s letter, Qi Xiuyuan fell into deep thought.

Ah Ling’s goal was clearly more specific and far-reaching than his.

In addition to hoping that the elderly could be provided for, the adults could put their talents to use, the children could survive into adulthood, she also hoped that the sick could be treated and everyone could receive an education regardless of their backgrounds.

But how was this possible?

Qi Haoran also thought that it was impossible, but when he wrote the letter, Ah Ling was watching by the side.

Thus, he could only brace himself and write down what Ah Ling had said.

Thinking of the gentle expression on her face when she spoke of this, he couldn’t bear to break her fantasy.

However, at that time, Mu Yangling was actually only thinking about her life in her previous life.

Although her country had not been able to achieve all of those things in her previous life, things were much better than now.

Moreover, the government was working hard in that direction.

Although everyone kept criticizing the various policies for being unfair and imperfect, they didn’t lack food and clothing like now.

It was like a different world just 20 to 30 miles away, and ordinary people neither could nor dared to travel.

After reading the letter, Qi Xiuyuan placed it in a box specially placed for family letters.

Then, he picked up a pen and began to consider what kind of goal he should set for his descendants.

One that wouldn’t be extremely easy for them to achieve, but at the same time not so hard as to make them give up because they felt that it was out of reach.

When Qi Xiuyuan finished writing the outline and was about to return to his residence, he remembered that he had not seen his son for the entire day.

So, he turned around and went to the East Palace.

Qi Xiuyuan waved his hand and interrupted the emissary who was about to report and simply walked in.

He’d thought that his son was studying while sitting cross-legged on the couch, but in fact he was counting the small mountain of gold and silver in front of him.

Qi Xiuyuan’s mouth fell open, feeling puzzled.

His son hadn’t been hanging out with Zijin recently.

Why was he suddenly so fond of money?

Qi Xiuyuan walked forward while Little Treasure was focused on counting the money.

Like Little Bear, he also had a lot of savings.

In fact, it should be said that he had more money than Little Bear.

Because he lived in the capital, he easily received a lot of red packets during the new year.

As a Crown Prince, he received quite a lot of money as salary, too.

Furthermore, being of a young age and the only prince in the palace, he did not have to think about using money to reward the palace maids and emissaries to buy them over.

He could just eat and drink as he pleased.

In terms of money, there was only inflow and no outflow.

After a few years, he’d saved up a significant sum of money.

Most importantly, he held all his money himself!

That’s not right.

Previously, his wet nurse was the one holding the key.

But now that it was in his hands, he could use it whenever he wanted, unlike Little Bear whose money was with Mu Yangling.

If Little Bear wanted to spend money, he had to ask her for it.

How pitiful.

Little Treasure sympathized with Little Bear in his heart as he tried his best to calculate the money.

He had no idea that his father was standing behind him and looking at him.

After calculating the money, Little Treasure recorded it and planned to write to Little Bear to tell him that he had four times more money than him.

Seeing how happy Little Treasure was, Qi Xiuyuan couldn’t help but ask, “Little Treasure, what are you doing?” Startled, Little Treasure turned around and saw his royal father.

He answered happily, “Royal Father, you’re here.

I’m counting money.

Hurry up and help me see if my calculations are correct.” Although Little Treasure felt that he was smart and wouldn’t count wrongly, he was only five years old after all, so he was still a little uncertain about that.

Seated by the bed, Qi Xiuyuan asked as he counted, “Why are you counting money?” “Little Bear is borrowing money from me.

He’s very poor now and owes Aunt a lot of money.”
