"The situation of these disabled soldiers should be clearer and better understood by County Magistrate Xi than we are!"
Ying Shu took a sip of tea and said to Bai Qing: "The supplies will arrive in Xi County tomorrow. I hope that Magistrate Xi County can take the two of us to visit the seniors one by one!"
"I wonder if that's okay?"
Hearing this, Bai Qing smiled quickly and said, "You don't have to be polite, Your Majesty, this is a matter within the scope of my duties!"
At this moment, Bai Qing also took a sip of tea and said in a faint tone: "Your Majesty, the eldest son of the Emperor, I don't know whether I should say something or not, but I don't know if I should say it or not. I feel aggrieved!"
"explain!"
Yingshu nodded, looked at Bai Qing, and said, "You can say it boldly!"
"This Great Qin still has Qin Fa and His Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, it has nothing to do with this. It's just that I feel pity for those old people!" Bai Qing said in a solemn tone towards Yingshu and Fusu: "They retreated from the battlefield with injuries in their eyes!"
“It’s difficult for them to provide for their own food, clothing, housing, and transportation, let alone farming to support their families!”
"Although the imperial court will also distribute money and food, the amount is too small and not enough at all!"
"Last time, because of the land issue, a group of old soldiers jointly submitted a letter to Your Majesty and gave up the fields given by their military exploits..."
"These people were originally the heroes of the Old Qin people and the heroes of the Great Qin. They have shed blood for the empire, but their lives are the most difficult!"
.........
Bai Qing's words silenced Yingshu.
This matter has no solution at all!
The establishment of a country will inevitably reduce the army, which will lead to the production of countless veterans and people seriously injured in the war.
How to deal with these people is a big problem.
At least, now he can't guarantee it and can offer condolences because Hidden Palace has earned a lot of money and food over the years.
This belongs to his own pocket!
"They are all heroes of the empire, and they should not be forgotten!"
After taking a sip of herbal tea, Yingshu turned to Bai Qing and said, "About this matter, I will write to Your Majesty after I return to Xianyang!"
"Hopefully we can solve the problem from the root!"
........
Because the topic was too deep, the exchange ended after a short time.
"Brother Shu, is what Bai Qing said true?" Fusu looked at Yingshu, as if he wanted to tell whether Yingshu was lying or deceiving him.
Ying Shu put down the tea cup and said in a low tone: "Bai Qing is the magistrate of Xi County, he is an official of Da Qin, and we belong to the upper class!"
"Naturally, Bai Qing's words will be somewhat beautifying, or he will not choose the most cruel things to say!"
"That means there's more..."
That night, Yingshu rarely suffered from insomnia.
You know, Ying Shu's sleep quality has always been very good, and he can still fall asleep even on the battlefield.
The same is true for Fusu.
Yin Gong Trading Company brought a batch of money and food, and Bai Qing took Fu Su and Ying Shu to visit the veterans in Yi County.
"Everyone, who do you think is coming?"
Seeing the old man basking in the sun, Bai Qing couldn't help but shout.
This voice also attracted everyone's attention, and they all looked at Yingshu and Fusu. Most of them did not know Yingshu and Fusu.
"Who are you?"
At this time, there was a lame old man with gray hair and beard who looked at Ying Shu and said in surprise, "Are you a soldier Shu?"
"Are you the winning general?"
Yingshu stepped forward, supported the old man, smiled and said, "Have you always known me?"
At this moment, the old man discarded the crutch in his hand, stood up straight with difficulty, and performed a Qin Army military salute: "In the original battle to destroy Zhao, Zhao Xin, the commander of the dead soldiers battalion, met the winning general!"
In the army, many soldiers prefer to call Ying Shu a winning general instead of a title.
Hearing this, Ying Shu quickly stood up straight and gave a military salute to the old man: "It turns out that in the battle to destroy Zhao, Soldier Shu of the Dead Soldier Battalion met the corps commander!"
"I've seen General Ying!" At this moment, the other veterans spoke one after another, struggling to stand up straight.
Yingshu's sharp gaze passed over everyone, as if he was inspecting the army. Then Yingshu drew his sword and shouted, "Jiujiao, old Qin, let's fight against the national calamity together!"
"Jiujiu, Lao Qin, fight against the national calamity together -!"
"Jiujiu, Lao Qin, fight against the national calamity together -!"
"Jiujiu, Lao Qin, fight against the national calamity together -!"
........
After a while, the atmosphere became harmonious.
Ying Shu sat directly on a big rock and asked the old man: "Old Zhao, tell me about the Death Soldier Camp and what happened next!"
"Also, these are gifts brought to you by me and the eldest son of the emperor. Accept them all..."
"Your Majesty, we are willing to fight for the Qin Dynasty. This is the fate of the old Qin people!" Zhao Xin's eyes were red with tears: "We can't fight for the empire, and we can't work after returning home. !”
"The imperial court sends money and food every year, and your Majesty allows me and other children to enter the academy, and even provides scholarships..."
"I'm so ashamed of myself!"
Ying Shu helped Lao Zhao up, looked at everyone, and said, "This is what you deserve, Qin people, if you shed your blood for the Qin Dynasty, you will naturally get benefits!"
"You are the heroes of the empire and you deserve to be treated with courtesy!"
"My father has mentioned this matter more than once, but you all know that with the new empire, my father has too many things to be busy with, and he stays up until midnight every day."
"Father wants to come see you and have a drink with you, but he can't do that for the time being. He needs to stay in Xianyang..."
After taking a sip of wine, Ying Shu drank with Zhao Xin and others and said, "No, big brother and I are here!"
"Old Zhao, let your grandson study hard and have a little girl in the future..." At this time, Yingshu got a little better. He patted Zhao Xin on the shoulder and said: "Old Zhao, you Don’t worry, the empire will not forget you!”
"Father will never forget you either!"
"Come on, drink!"
This banquet ended late at night.
Compared to Fusu who was drunk into a puddle, Yingshu was undoubtedly much better, but he couldn't wake up at this time.
Until Wei Xi took the two of them away.
Bai Qing stood aside and watched the two people leave: "Old Zhaotou, do you think you are drunk?"
"No!"
Zhao Xin shook his head. Although he was a little over the top, his mind was still very clear: "We went to the battlefield at the beginning, and we had a drink with you afterward!"
"I have never seen you drunk before!"
"Especially today!"
Zhao Xin turned to look at Bai Qing and smiled meaningfully: "This generation of young people are really more powerful than the last!"
"I, Da Qin Yongchang, have hope!"
