Shangguan Ruoli really feels that there is no need to rush to find a wife for Dalang. Now they have stood firm and have not let others see the strength they can rise. No one will marry a good girl to a family like theirs.

After Dalang has learned how to read and practice martial arts for two years, and finds a good job, it will be too late to get married.

The voices of men could be heard outside, and Shangguan Ruoli glanced out of the window. He must have heard that Rong Chuan was coming, and Chu Xing and Tan Boxuan came to pay their respects with several officials from the mine.

Now that King Chen has become the prince, the status of Rong Qian and Rong Chuan is also different from the past, and they respect him even more.

Dongming Ziyu would at least let Chu Xing and Tan Boxuan eat together, so Shangguan Ruoli had no choice but to add four more dishes.

After a while, Jiang Hexuan, Jiang Hongda and Jiang Haoguang also came, not empty-handed, bringing good wine and some good dishes.

Rong Chuan left for Beijing this time. He was so far away and he didn't know when he would come back again. Although he only wanted to have dinner with Dongming Ziyu's family of four, he still socialized with Chu Xing and Jiang Hexuan.

Because he wanted them to know that even though he would not come often in the future, these people were still the ones he was protecting.

He raised his glass and said to Dongming Ziyu: "Uncle, on behalf of my father, I would like to toast you! Thank you for your support in the rear. The income from the jade mine has alleviated the crisis of empty national treasury. Aunt's medical skills are among the best among military doctors. Spread the word and saved the lives of countless soldiers."

Dongming Ziyu smiled and said: "His Royal Highness, thank you for the award. This is what we should do. The jade mine can produce benefits so quickly because of the joint efforts of everyone here.

Without Master Chu’s heroic leadership, without Master Qin’s protection, and without the full cooperation of others, I alone would not be able to accomplish anything.”

Chu Xing smiled so hard that he couldn't see his teeth and said hurriedly: "Everyone has contributed to it."

Others also agreed and glanced at Dongming Ziyu gratefully.

I didn't expect that Dongming Ziyu, a cold and arrogant person, would cause trouble like this.

Rong Chuan smiled and said: "Then Rong Chuan will borrow flowers to offer to Buddha and toast everyone. Father will not ignore your efforts."

Everyone raised their glasses happily and enjoyed themselves.

If the prince successfully ascends the throne, then they have the merit of following the dragon. Although they are the lowest officials, as long as they leave an impression in the prince's mind, they will be promoted faster than others.

After all, Rong Chuan was young, so after one drink, he excused himself from being too drunk, left the table, and went to find Erlang and the others for dinner.

Several men were sitting around the dinner table, eating with gusto.

"Brother Rongchuan, come on, this pumpkin made by mother is delicious!" Wulang ate the baked pumpkin with egg yolk, his cheeks were bulging, like the happy little white ferret on his shoulder.

Rong Chuan tasted it on the adults' table, but still picked one up and put it in his mouth, "Yeah, it's delicious."

Erlang said: "Actually, the shredded pork with bean paste made by the fourth aunt is the most delicious."

As he said that, he picked up the tofu skin, placed the shredded pork, onion strips, cucumber strips and carrot strips inside in sequence, rolled it up, and took a bite.

Rong Chuan ate this dish for the first time and found it interesting. He rolled one up and immediately squinted his eyes, "It's delicious. It's really delicious. My aunt's craftsmanship is enough to open a restaurant."

Dalang smiled and said: "Fourth Aunt wants to make some food to sell in the county town, but first there is the recruitment, then there is the jade mine, we have to open up wasteland for farming, we have to cook for the people in the mine, and we have to teach us how to read and teach The medical skills of several apprentices are really too busy."

Rong Chuan laughed and asked Dalang, "Are you tired from working in the mine?"

Dalang talked about the situation in the mine, and Rongchuan listened carefully.

There is no rule of not talking after eating here, and the other wolves also talked about interesting things they encountered while eating.

Rong Chuan listened carefully and echoed a few words.

Ling Yue and a few girls were having dinner in another room and had no chance to talk to Rong Chuan.

Rong Chuan would not be rude to go to her. Having so many people there would harm her reputation. The days ahead are long and he is not in a hurry.

When leaving, Ling Yue and others walked him to the entrance of the village and waved goodbye with the others.

Rong Chuan reined in the reins and turned around, only to see the aura-filled girl, and the rest were all on a black and white background.

Behind him is the sky full of sunset, and nearby are white walls, black tiles, small bridges and flowing water. He is like a beautiful young man in a painting, his beauty is pure and brilliant.

The horse seemed to understand its owner's mood and was a little reluctant to leave. It spun around in circles a few times and snorted.

Rong Chuan smiled, turned his horse's head, and rode off.

At the end of the year, it was reported that the prince had been inspired by heaven in a dream and created a shocking weapon, like five thunders striking the top, hitting a large area. The prince used this weapon to quell the rebels and captured King Xian and King Kang alive.

The Emperor's heart was filled with joy, and his ambition to expand the territory grew, so he named this great weapon: Thunder.

King Xian and King Kang were convicted of treason, deprived of their thrones and imprisoned in Zongren Mansion.

Prince Duan was beaten and fled back to the capital. He had no soldiers, no money, and was in the fiefdom all the year round. He had no influence. The emperor followed the prince's advice and quelled the rebellion without letting him return to the fiefdom. Instead, he was given a palace and kept him there.

Beijing.

Now, only King Shun in the south is still in the fiefdom, and the weather is good and the grain harvest is good. But King Shun seems to be very content and abiding by himself, never participating in the fights between his brothers, and even going out to provide food relief to the disaster-stricken areas.

The prince's status in the hearts of the people was secretly higher than that of the emperor because of the enlightenment in the dream from heaven. Because of his suturing skills and many pension policies, he also won the hearts of the military.

The crown prince's position is stable, the court is comforted, the people's hearts no longer fluctuate, the war is temporarily over, and the court is stable and calm.

The people who served in the military came back one after another, and they also brought back the news that many people were killed in battle. This New Year is a mixture of sorrow and joy, some families are happy and some are sad.

The villagers of Nanbeixi Village once again expressed their gratitude to Dongming Ziyu. They all had relatives who had served in the army. Few of them came back intact, some with injuries. Some only came back with a jar of ashes, and some still had no news.

The villagers in Nanbeixi Village were able to escape this disaster, all thanks to Dongming Ziyu.

Dongming Ziyu and Chu Xing proposed that the villagers who had worked in the mines should be allowed to go home, and retired soldiers who had retired from the battlefield could be hired, especially to give a chance to some retired wounded soldiers who were capable of working.

Although some wounded soldiers are disabled, they do not delay their work. For example, if their eyes are injured, their ears are missing, their faces are disfigured, they are missing fingers or toes, their legs are lame, etc. Although they have the ability to work, it will also affect their lives.

, and even suffer discrimination.

Chu Xing, a civil servant, was not impressed by Dongming Ziyu's proposal. Tan Boxuan was quite moved after hearing this. Since he joined the army, he was ready to sacrifice and get injured. Who wouldn't want to be able to have a good life after being disabled?

A job to support the family?

The imperial court would only provide a one-time pension that was a drop in the bucket, and many wounded soldiers found it difficult to support themselves, let alone their families.

Chu Xing wrote Dongming Ziyu's proposal into a note and handed it to the East Palace. The prince was inspired after reading it and encouraged merchants, workshops, and yamen to hire retired wounded soldiers and family members of martyrs.

Dongming Ziyu is also considered a laborer, so he no longer has to work in the mines. He concentrates on reading at home and preparing for the childbirth exam in the spring.
