Chen Xinghe jumped up from his chair in fright.
Pointing at Liu Mengru, she said in disbelief: "You, you, you..."
You stared at me for a long time, but you couldn't say a single word.
"Uncle Chen, didn't I tell you? Be calm."
Liu Mengru said with a smile: "Why are you getting more and more impatient?"
"How can we think of a good strategy if this continues?"
"Are you Mengru?"
Chen Xinghe took a deep breath before asking the question.
"Didn't you already sacrifice yourself?"
"Why...?"
"Luckily he didn't die and was saved by my husband."
When Liu Mengru said this, she glanced at Zhao Ping specifically.
"Ms. sir?"
Chen Xinghe glanced back and forth between Liu Mengru and Zhao Ping.
His face became increasingly gloomy.
Finally, he said coldly: "You Zhao Ping, you dare to covet the imperial concubine. Do you know your guilt?"
I……
Zhao Ping had black lines all over his head.
Is there something wrong with this old man's mind?
He punishes his own sins at every turn.
Zhao Ping didn't want to cooperate with him anymore.
If he encounters some setbacks in the future, he will blame himself and then punish himself. Isn't that funny?
"Uncle Chen, what crime do you know?"
Liu Mengru was also speechless and said: "We haven't seen you for several years, but you haven't changed at all."
"We will punish this and that crime at every turn."
"Don't even think about it. Without my husband, how could the bandits in Qingzhou be wiped out so easily?"
"Now that you have come to Xiping Village again, aren't you going to ask my husband for advice on how to govern the people?"
"Who will give you advice when it comes to punishing him?"
"My……"
Chen Xinghe hesitated and was speechless.
But Liu Mengru continued: "Besides, when I was General Feiying, His Majesty just threatened that if I won the battle, he would make me the imperial concubine."
"But isn't it a defeat?"
"Your Majesty's words must be countless."
"And I was already dead at that time. If my husband hadn't saved me, I'm afraid I would no longer exist in the Dawei Dynasty."
"Since you're not dead, why don't you go back to Beijing to meet the Holy Spirit?"
Chen Xinghe asked rhetorically.
"Going back to Beijing to meet the Holy Spirit?"
Liu Mengru smiled bitterly, "I do think so."
"But some people don't want me to go back."
"who?"
"I don't know the specifics."
Liu Mengru shook her head, "When I fell into a trap by mistake, I led a small team and rushed out to fetch reinforcements."
"In order to pursue me, the enemy withdrew most of their troops, so that the entire Flying Eagle Army was not destroyed, and some of them escaped."
"However, these people were hunted down before they entered the capital, resulting in heavy casualties."
"That was the key to the downfall of the Flying Eagle Army."
"What?"
Chen Xinghe was shocked again, "Who did it?"
"Is this a rebellion?"
"Even the Flying Eagle Army, which His Majesty relies on the most, is massacred. What do they have in mind?"
"Who do you think did it?"
Liu Mengru asked back.
Chen Xinghe thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't know."
He really didn't know.
For one thing, he is a state shepherd and cannot easily return to the capital without being summoned.
He became increasingly unfamiliar with the intricate forces in the capital.
Secondly, he really couldn't figure out who was secretly causing harm to reduce the combat power of the Dawei Dynasty.
After all, everyone is an official in the same dynasty and should support each other and take it as their own responsibility to maintain the stability of the Dawei Dynasty.
Once the Dawei Dynasty collapses, important ministers like them are the ones who are most likely to be killed.
No one will make a mistake when he is fine.
"You are the governor of Qingzhou and a dignified imperial uncle. You don't even know. How can I, a commoner's daughter, know?"
Liu Mengru smiled bitterly, "So before those people are found out, I can't return to Beijing easily, or even show up easily."
"If I hadn't been close to Uncle Chen and thought that Uncle Chen wouldn't reveal the news that I was still alive, I still wouldn't have come forward."
"Uncle Chen, are you willing to help me?"
"Investigate the truth of that year, find out the real culprit, and restore peace to the Dawei Dynasty."
"I do."
Chen Xinghe answered without thinking.
Liu Mengru is the Flying Eagle General and the God of War of the Dawei Dynasty.
Only with her presence can the Dawei Dynasty be protected.
Let the enemy not dare to invade easily.
"Peng Yue, what about you?"
Liu Mengru asked Peng Yue again.
Peng Yue had long been dumbfounded.
Liu Mengru?
The person in front of me turned out to be Flying Eagle General Liu Mengru?
He should have thought of it.
Ever since Tian Fuhai brought the acacia wine back to the county, he had investigated Zhao Ping's life experience.
I know that Zhao Ping’s wife is named Liu Mengru.
But she was never connected to General Flying Eagle.
It was his mistake.
Now I have heard a lot of secrets, and each one is more shocking than the last.
Until Liu Mengru asked, Peng Yue had not come back to his senses.
"Chief Peng, General Feiying is asking you a question? Why are you so dazed?"
Xu Tianhua pushed Peng Yue to wake him up.
thump!
Peng Yue did not dare to neglect, and immediately knelt down in front of Liu Mengru and said respectfully: "I will naturally obey General Feiying's orders."
He is the county guard and is in the fourth rank.
And Liu Mengru is a real general, a first-class general.
He was the youngest first-grade official in the entire Dawei Dynasty.
He has won the trust of His Majesty.
If she hadn't died in the battle, she might have become the imperial concubine, or even the empress.
Even after his death, His Majesty still gave her the posthumous title of Po Nu Fei.
This shows that His Majesty relies heavily on her.
This kind of person has thicker legs than Zhao Ping, so he must be hugged tightly.
Kneel down and consider yourself a lower official, this is Peng Yue's attitude.
"good."
Liu Mengru nodded, "With your help, we will investigate and find out the truth faster."
“In order to fight against the outside world, we must first make peace with the inside.”
"Once the court has been cleared of those with disloyal intentions, I will return to the capital to resume my duties."
"Then he led the Flying Eagle Army into the battlefield again and drove away the invading enemies."
“In order to fight against foreign aggression, we must first settle our domestic affairs. It is so well said.”
Chen Xinghe clapped his hands and praised.
"That's what my husband-in-law said."
Liu Mengru gave the credit to Zhao Ping.
It was also when Zhao Ping was in sage mode, telling her some knowledge mentioned in the history of her previous life.
"Sir is even better."
Chen Xinghe gave a thumbs up to Zhao Ping, "You have such ability, you are worthy of General Flying Eagle."
"I am not a pedantic person either."
"When this matter is over, I will write to His Majesty and ask him to forgive you for interfering with the imperial concubine."
Forehead!
here we go again.
Zhao Ping even heard the crow.
If he hadn't wanted to securely capture Qingzhou as a pilot, Zhao Ping would have wanted to give the old man a kick and send him somewhere far away.
Fortunately, Chen Xinghe was not completely lost yet and quickly brought the topic back up.
"Sir, you haven't told me yet, how to govern the government and the people? What does it have to do with the factory area?"
Peng Yue and Xu Tianhua also cheered up and listened attentively.
Zhao Ping took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and said seriously: "Governing the government and governing the people are actually one."
"You have visited Xiping Village all over. You should have seen the villagers here, right?"
"Are they living a happy life?"
"joy."
Chen Xinghe said: "Especially those who work, everyone has a smile on their face and is extremely happy."
"But why?"
"They work so hard that they still don't have enough to eat or wear, and they are extremely poor. How can they feel happy?"
"Because they have hope."
Zhao Ping said: "If a person loses hope, he loses the motivation to live."
"Even if you are alive, you are like a zombie."
"Just like the villagers in Xiping Village before, they worked hard every day, but in the end, they had nothing to eat and nothing to wear, and they were often exploited and oppressed in all aspects."
"It causes them to become numb."
"Many people even choose to go to the mountains to become bandits, just because the bandits can give them a place to live."
"And now, I have opened a factory in Xiping Village."
"As long as they work, they can earn four copper coins a day."
"Two workers per family are worth eight copper coins, which is more than two hundred copper coins a month."
"If our factory is fully managed, it means that the more than two hundred copper coins are a net profit."
"With money, there is security."
"Anyone who works in our factory will have their children study in Xiping Village School."
"If you study well, you will have the opportunity to take the imperial examination, become an official in the court, and change your destiny against the will of heaven."
"Even if you don't pass the exam, if you have a certain knowledge reserve, you can work as a manager in our Xiping Village factory, get more wages, and have a more comfortable life."
"At least it won't be like them and the previous generation, who worked hard and had no results."
"A hospital is still under construction here in Xiping Village."
"As long as those who work in the Xiping Village factory area and they or their family members are sick, they can receive free treatment."
"If it cannot be cured, the factory will still have a certain amount of subsidies."
"This is hope."
"I hope that I will get better and better, and I hope that the next generation, and the next generation after that, will be stronger than the previous generation."
"Only in this way will they work harder and harder, and their faces will be filled with smiles from the bottom of their hearts."
"This is governing the people."
"If you can give the people under your rule hope to live, they will be grateful to you."
Chen Xinghe digested the words for a long time.
But in the end, a question came, "Sir, because you founded the factory in Xiping Village, the people here have jobs."
"However, Qingzhou is so big and has so many people, they can't all come here to work, right?"
"You don't need so many people, do you?"
