When the third son said this, everyone turned from joy to worry. That place was not a good place. It was surrounded by yellow sand and mud every day. Due to floods, many fields had no harvest, food was scarce, and the environment was not good. Life was very miserable.
"Ajing, can you talk to the Holy One again? Let's change our official position. It doesn't matter if the official position is lower."
After all, Su's mother had never seen the world, so she thought that this official position was something he could change if he wanted.
Su Jing covered her lips and smiled, feeling helpless. Father Su couldn't help but complain:
"Look at what you said. The Holy One has spoken so eloquently. This official has already been sealed, and you want to take it back right away? Where is the emperor's prestige?"
"But this job is too dangerous, and the hardship is secondary." She was just an ordinary mother who wanted her son to be safe.
"Mom, I like this job very much. It can stimulate my fighting spirit. The flooding in the Xuanhe River has been a major concern for emperors throughout the ages. If it is managed well, it will be a great cause that will be famous all over the world. The Holy Father said, give me five years Time, if it works, at least the people of Xuanhe will be able to gain something, and they won't have to be displaced and worried. After I return to the capital, I will be promoted two levels and directly enter the cabinet.
This is a mission to benefit the people. I have asked the Holy One to divide the Xuanhe River Basin. The taxes of the people in the territory will be halved, the military name will be unified, and the work will be used to provide relief. This will reduce the people's desire to migrate and allow more people to join. In the great cause of flood control,
If you succeed, you will be recorded in the annals of history, and you will be able to enjoy the Ancestral Temple after your death. What an honor it is. If you want to reach the top, you must first suffer both physically and mentally. There is no glory, wealth, and fame in the prosperous world that can only be obtained through stability. "
This is what Jiang Yu admires about Su Jing. His pattern is really big. He really doesn't want to be a high-ranking official and gain temporary glory, but really serves the country and the people.
Su Wan was very pleased and felt proud to have such a big brother.
"Brother said it very well. When heaven is about to give a great responsibility to a person, he must first suffer his mind and will, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, deplete his body, and mess up his actions. Therefore, if he is tempted to endure, he will be benefited. Impossible."
Su Wan felt that this sentence was most appropriate to say at this moment, and her words immediately made Su Jing break her guard.
"Wanwan, what you want to say is exactly what I want to express. It's so good."
Su Yun didn't understand, but it sounded so powerful that he couldn't say it anyway, let alone Su Chen, who was a scumbag.
Su Yi probably understood, so he just laughed. Jiang Yu was the most surprised. He was surprised that a little girl like her could say such a prophecy. If it were known to the world, it would be very inspiring.
"Wan Wan, what a literary talent!" Su Jing never hesitated to praise her sister.
"This didn't come from my own mouth. I heard it from hearsay. I overheard it in a tea shop, so I kept it in my heart. I definitely don't have such talent. Brother, please don't forget. I am a beautiful girl. "
Su Wan never takes credit. These are not her original creations, so how can she take them as her own? Not even in another world.
"Oh, the person who said this is also a strange person. I really want to get to know him. But whether I should say it or not, Wan Wan has a really good memory. He can remember it only once."
If a person thinks you are good, you will be good no matter what. In the heart of the eldest brother, Su Wan is the best sister in the world.
The words "I am a beautiful girl" made him return to the pavilion in Zhongyun Academy in a daze. From then on, the gears of fate began to turn.
If it hadn't been for Wan Wan, he wouldn't have been able to take the top spot today.
Su Jing's retelling of the past brought everyone back to the late autumn of last year. He talked about how Su Wan reminded him of the wealth and prosperity of Kyoto. He told his family about it, and he couldn't finish it for a while. Thinking of how solemn and majestic the Tai Chi Hall in the palace was, he longed for it and secretly swore in his heart that he must manage the Xuanhe River well. After he returned to the capital, he would take his parents and sisters to the capital to earn money for his mother. It's my destiny to be a lady.
Su Wan was embarrassed when Su Jing praised her. The family did not expect that she not only did a good job in business, but also knew about flood control and could come up with good suggestions. After Jiang Yu listened to Su Jing's retelling, a person seemed to appear in his mind. picture.
The girl was wearing plain clothes, and her eyes were so firm when she talked about these insights.
At this moment, his heart was beating crazily for her. Jiang Yu thought that he was afraid that he had really fallen in. He would fall completely and die. He was willing to surrender for her.
"Wan Wan, you are such a wonderful woman, it's time for me to work harder." Su Chen sighed sincerely, and secretly made up his mind.
He has been focusing on matters at the border in the hall. Now Jiang Guogong has taken command and led an army of 100,000 to the north to guard the border. The two sides are confronting each other.
The Holy One ordered the recruitment of soldiers, and children from aristocratic families could also join the army, but they had to start as small soldiers.
Today, the Holy One governs the country with benevolence and never forces conscription. Anyone who voluntarily joins the army will receive a subsidy of ten taels of silver, and half of the family tax will be exempted. Those whose families are in difficulty and have many sons will choose to join the army.
The Jin State is now recruiting troops everywhere, with an initial recruitment of 100,000. Together with the border guards, the 100,000 troops and horses brought by Duke Jiang can also make up 300,000.
Su Chen has decided that once Xiangzhou starts recruiting troops, he will sign up immediately. From then on, he will embark on the road of protecting his family and country. If he is lucky, he can become a general.
At this time, except for Su Wan and Jiang Yu, no one else in the Su family knew what Su Chen was thinking. If Su's mother found out, she would burst into tears.
Nowadays, Su Jing is a great joy at home. The reunion in just one month will soon pass. Everyone cherishes the time spent with Su Jing.
Su Yun specially asked for leave to come back to accompany Su Jing.
Su Jing had already had a good sleep, and his room had been properly decorated. Unexpectedly, in less than half a year, under the leadership of Su Wan, their family had moved from Yang'ao to Xiangzhou and bought their own house. Also opened a store.
Lao Wu is also very good, knowing how to use his own expertise to find a way out for himself.
All the rewards and jewelry he brought back belong to Su Wan. She is the only girl in the family and no one is trying to compete with her.
Of course, she would pick out one and give it to Yang Qingqing, which was also a large dowry.
The gifts given by the emperor cannot be given away, you can only offer them yourself.
As for the silks and cloths, they were distributed according to their colors to make clothes for Su Wan and Su's mother. None of the brothers had a share, and neither did Su's father.
Five hundred taels of gold were converted into five thousand taels of silver. Su Jing decided to spend one thousand taels in Xiushantang in Xiangzhou to take in the helpless orphans in Xiangzhou and teach them to read.
He will take out another three thousand taels and take it to Xuanhe. When he takes office, he will use it as relief silver to buy a large amount of medicinal materials for reserve in case of emergencies.
This move can be described as selfless.
He would keep the remaining one thousand taels for himself. He couldn't leave with nothing when he went to Xuanhe.
