Chapter 157 They Should Not Be Forgotten
When he finally returned to Yaoguang Palace, the three little ones were already fast asleep.
In the bedroom, Su Qianqian sat quietly at the table, carefully drawing the plan of the medicinal field.
The information she found was placed next to the inkstone. It was late at night, and the moonlight shone through the window onto the table, illuminating the drawings in Su Qianqian's hands.
She was concentrating on depicting every detail. Suddenly, a breeze blew, blowing her hair and ruffling the papers on the table.
Su Qianqian frowned slightly, put down her pen, reached out to tidy up her hair, and at the same time tidied up the drawings that were blown by the wind.
Her eyes inadvertently swept across the door, and she found someone standing there.
Chu Junze just smiled and looked at her quietly, the tenderness in his eyes stirred her heart like water.
They were both very busy during this period. She was busy "eliciting literacy" for the palace maids and eunuchs, while Chu Junze was busy dealing with state affairs.
Chu Junze walked into the room, gently walked to Su Qianqian's side, looked at the drawings she had drawn, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"It's so late, and you're still busy!" Chu Junze said softly.
Su Qianqian raised her head and looked at him with a smile on her face: "Well, I want to plan the medicine field as soon as possible."
Chu Junze picked up a blueprint, looked at it carefully, and nodded: "Not bad, very thoughtful. But don't be too tired, take care of your health."
Su Qianqian felt warm in her heart. Chu Junze's concern always made her feel warm.
"I know, you are the same. No matter how busy state affairs are, you must pay attention to rest." Su Qianqian said.
Chu Junze smiled and took Su Qianqian's hand: "Come on, go for a walk with me."
Seeing that he was worried, Su Qianqian nodded.
So they strolled in the courtyard, their figures under the moonlight looking particularly warm. They chatted about each other's recent situation and shared the little things in life.
At this moment, it seemed as if all the tiredness had disappeared, leaving only each other's company and warmth.
Su Qianqian looked at him so gently, and the smile on her lips seemed to be filled with honey.
Chu Junze held her hand and said slowly: "Qianqian, Princess Jia is dead, but I am not sad at all. Do you think I am cold-blooded?"
"You know, for me, what you just said makes me very happy! You are obviously a warm-hearted man, I don't care whether you are cold-blooded or not. I know your goodness, and the people of Zhaoguo also know it!
She has done so many treasonous and evil things, and even wanted to rebel, and even called herself an emperor. No matter who she is, she deserves to die!"
Chu Junze felt sweet in his heart when he heard her words.
"Well, I don't miss her. By the way, a batch of precious medicinal materials have been received into the palace recently. You can go and have a look when you are free. Shen Zhuo has been urging me, and the demand at the medical school is quite great." Chu Junze said as he walked.
"Okay, I was just thinking of going over there to take a look!" Su Qianqian showed a happy look.
As they were walking, Chu Junze suddenly stopped, looked at Su Qianqian and asked, "Qianqian, just now I saw that row of houses next to the medicinal fields you drew. What are they used for?"
Su Qianqian thought for a moment and said, "Oh, the row of houses you mentioned are used for the workers who grow herbs to live in for a long time."
Chu Junze smiled, took Su Qianqian's hand again, and continued to walk forward: "You are really a good master."
"Aren't you curious about the identities of the workers I want to hire?" Su Qianqian looked at him cunningly.
"Oh, what's your identity? Tell me about it." Chu Junze replied very cooperatively.
"Speaking of this, I have already started preparing for it. Now I just owe you an imperial decree so that I can make full use of my power.
You know, because of the war, many soldiers were injured, and some even became disabled for life, so I thought that they were all patriotic men, and their future lives should not be like this.
If I invite them to come and help grow herbs or food, and give them monthly wages, so that their lives can continue to shine, wouldn’t it be wonderful? ! ”
Hearing her say this, Chu Junze suddenly remembered that when he took her out of the palace before, he met a soldier who retired due to injury. As a result, the soldier's sister-in-law and her family wanted to drive him away and let him fend for himself because he had a broken leg.
He clearly remembered Qianqian at that time, frowning and looking worried.
He even asked himself how many such retired soldiers there were in Zhaoguo. Now that he thought about it, she was still worried about their livelihoods.
Thinking of this, Chu Junze was shocked. The girl in front of him was obviously a little girl, but she had the whole world in her heart.
"Qianqian, thank you. I thank you on behalf of those soldiers who retired due to injuries!" Chu Junze said excitedly.
"Why thank me?" Su Qianqian smiled shyly, "This is what every Zhao countryman should do. They fought for the country and defended their homeland. We should be responsible for the rest of their lives."
Chu Junze was moved and hugged Su Qianqian into his arms, "What else could a husband ask for with a wife like this?"
Su Qianqian leaned in Chu Junze's arms and said softly, "I just hope that the country will be peaceful and the people will live and work in peace."
Chu Junze hugged Su Qianqian tightly and secretly swore in his heart that he must make this beautiful wish come true.
Because his shallowness has pointed him in the direction, they should not be tortured and they should not be forgotten!
The next morning at the court, Chu Junze brought up the matter.
After hearing this, many ministers became excited, especially the military generals.
You must know that there is no war in Zhao State now, but in the many years of war before, countless good men of Zhao State, some died on the battlefield, and some were left with injuries.
What the Empress Xianfei is doing now is truly good for the soldiers, so it should be promoted.
As for why no one among the ministers objected, it was because the money came from the national treasury, and as long as the money in their pockets was not touched, everything could be discussed.
It was at this moment that Chu Junze deeply understood the meaning of a strong economic country.
Fortunately, he listened to the advice and made his business flourish privately.
Only then can we have such a peaceful life today. This is the case with Zhao Kingdom today. You should know that there is no war in Zhao Kingdom now, but in the years before, wars were constant and countless good men of Zhao Kingdom were sent to the front line to fight.
Everything can be negotiated. At this moment, Chu Junze deeply realized the meaning of "economically strong country".
Fortunately, he listened to the advice and ran his business successfully in private, which led to the current stable and prosperous situation.
This is what Zhaoguo is like now!
After the morning court session, all the civil and military officials had a good chat.
Especially the military generals, when there is no war, they hardly speak during the morning court.
But now, Her Majesty the Concubine has solved this dilemma for them and even given them the opportunity to continue to serve the motherland and bring glory to the country.
