Chapter 739: Differences between the North and the South, prepare for a rainy day!

For Gao Yao, this is undoubtedly a good thing. An independent living environment can train children's self-care ability and let them learn to live independently. Gao Yao naturally has no reason to refuse such a proposal.

In addition, as the eldest son, Gao Lin needs to learn a lot. After all, schoolwork is never finished. Yu Shu also has a lot of things to deal with, and cannot always meet Gao Lin's request to see Gao Yao. At the same time, considering the late time, it is not appropriate to let Gao Lin enter the backyard. After all, there are Gao Yao's female relatives there, and it is obviously inappropriate to run around casually.

Although Gao Yao was already over 40, most of the women in his mansion were young and beautiful. Lü Zhi and Lü Su were both in their early 30s, and the others were even younger than 30. Even Xiao Yue, although she had been in the mansion for a long time, was only 24 years old. Back then, when Xiao Yue was in the Qin Emperor's palace, she was still in her prime. All these things were problems.

Therefore, strictly speaking, Yu Shu did nothing wrong. However, if a family only follows rules and does not take human feelings into consideration, it would seem too cold and indifferent. Moreover, Yu Shu has always strictly enforced the established rules without any compromise. This is also the reason why Gao Yao ordered Lu Zhi to deal with the matter of Concubine Qi, but Lu Zhi directly blamed Yu Shu. On the one hand, it can make Gao Yao realize the seriousness of this problem, and on the other hand, it can also slightly punish Yu Shu and embarrass her.

"Yu Shu!" Gao Yao called softly.

"Husband!" Yu Shu heard the voice and responded quickly.

As Gao Yao spoke, Yu Shu's heart tightened. She immediately walked quickly to Gao Yao's side, squatted lightly, lowered her head, like a docile sheep, and waited quietly for Gao Yao's scolding.

Yu Shu was not stupid. She had keenly sensed from Chunlan's solemn expression when she came to see her, and from Gao Yao's intention to see her, that this summons was not a good thing. Therefore, she had already secretly prepared herself for the response.

Gao Yao looked at Yu Shu's trembling appearance, and a trace of pity and love welled up in his heart. He lowered his voice and said earnestly: "For some things, excessive pursuit will be counterproductive. Don't be too serious. Do you understand this truth?"

Yu Shu's body trembled slightly, obviously touched by Gao Yao's words. She hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded gently and replied softly: "Husband, I will remember it."

Gao Yao nodded with satisfaction and continued, "Well, forget it this time. I have no intention of punishing you. I am busy with work, and the peace of the backyard is very important to me. However, on the basis of stability, the warm feeling of home is more important. Do you understand what I mean?"

Yu Shu's eyes flickered, as if she was thinking about Gao Yao's words. After a moment, a bright light flashed in her eyes, and then she nodded solemnly again and replied: "Yes, I understand!"

Gao Yao smiled slightly and continued, "Well, very good. There is one more thing. The King of Wei sent a woman. I have asked Lu Zhi to take her to the backyard. Go and make some arrangements and see how to place her."

Yu Shu responded respectfully: "Yes!"

Gao Yao's words were like a gentle breeze that blew away the haze in Yu Shu's heart. He helped Yu Shu up from the ground, his movements gentle but firm. Yu Shu's body trembled slightly, as if she had not yet recovered from the shock just now.

Gao Yao's embrace was warm and broad, and Yu Shu's body naturally fit into it, feeling his body temperature and heartbeat. Gao Yao gently patted Yu Shu's back, and this pat seemed to have a soothing power, which gradually stabilized Yu Shu's emotions.

Gao Yao did not blame Yu Shu too much. The reason for this is not as simple as it seems, but needs to be viewed from two different perspectives.

On the one hand, Gao Yao actually benefited from Yu Shu's strict rules when managing the backyard. Gao Yao likes to be lively, but he also needs to rest. When he returns from the battlefield, exhausted physically and mentally, even if he has several lovely children at home, the most important thing for him is to have a good rest. At this time, strict rules are particularly important, which can ensure that people and things at home will not interfere with Gao Yao's recuperation, so that he can recover his strength with peace of mind.

On the other hand, when Gao Yao was free, he hoped that the yard could be more lively. People are inherently so contradictory, longing for tranquility and yearning for noise. Therefore, Gao Yao did not blame Yu Su too much, but just hoped that she could relax some of the standards when managing the backyard, so that the yard would be orderly and lively.

After a long and tedious day, Gao Yao could finally relax a little. He took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly, as if all the fatigue and stress were released with this breath.

Gao Yao was exhausted from the busy day. Not only did he have to deal with various affairs outside, but he also had to sort out the trivial matters in the backyard. He couldn't help but sigh that being an emperor was not so easy! He hadn't even ascended the throne yet, and it was already so troublesome. If he really became the emperor, he would probably be even busier.

But Gao Yao didn't have much time to sigh. He temporarily put the rest of the things behind him and returned to handling government affairs. Time passed by minute by minute, and he focused on reviewing various documents and reports until night fell and it was time for dinner, then he stopped working.

At this time, the situation on each front had been reported back one after another. Gao Yao carefully checked the news and found that although there were some gaps from what he had expected, overall, the progress of various affairs was still smooth. Except for Wu Rui who did not act according to the plan, other places such as Hanzhong, Donghui, Langya, etc., had already fallen firmly into Gao Yao's hands.

As long as Wei Bao gave way, Nanjun would be within easy reach, and the coalition's momentum would not be able to continue, let alone succeed. Even if Zhentuo, Nanhai County and other places were not included, Gaoyao had already completely occupied half of the country. If these places were included, then the position occupied by Gaoyao now would be comparable to that of the Qin Dynasty.

Of course, we have to admit that many places are indeed sparsely populated. In ancient times, the population of the north was actually much larger than that of the south, and this gap was not a little bit. Since the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, Luoyang, Chang'an and other places have always been political and cultural centers, with fertile land and extremely developed agricultural economy. In ancient times, agriculture was undoubtedly the most important aspect, and this was particularly prominent in the north.
