The most arrogant in history

Ye Feng was not convinced and retorted: "But there are also soldiers in their teens in the military camp. Those soldiers were also born and raised by their parents. If they can fight, why can't I?"

"shut up!"

Ye Kun glared: "You are asking for a beating, aren't you? You talked back to your mother. In the military camp, the minimum age for enlistment is now sixteen. Are you sixteen this year?"

Ye Feng felt aggrieved: "Then I will wait until I am sixteen. Will my father and mother be willing to let me go out to fight?"

"I promise you, I'll let you out after you turn sixteen."

Ye Kun nodded: "But you can only start as a soldier and take it step by step. If you want to become a general, it depends on your performance."

"Ah, let me be a soldier?"

"Why? You entered the military camp at the age of sixteen and you want to be a general?" Ye Kun snorted.

"Do you know the responsibility of a general? A wrong decision can cost the lives of soldiers on the march! It can even lead to the downfall of a dynasty!"

Ye Feng was unhappy and sat back.

Jiang Youbao smiled and said, "Today is the Queen's birthday. Let's not talk about state affairs, let's drink together."

Ye Kun also raised his glass and smiled at Jiang Yourong, "Don't worry, madam. You have to take your time to discipline your son."

Jiang Yourong nodded and raised his glass to drink.

After dinner, I took a walk in the gardens of the father-in-law’s and uncle’s mansions.

Back at Fengyi Palace, the palace was busy preparing for tonight's banquet and celebration.

Liu Yuejuan, Xie Baochan and others all sent gifts.

The Queen made a fortune again.

After the dinner, Ye Kun ordered Huang Ye: "Go get some fireworks and set them off in front of Fengyi Palace to add some joy."

Nowadays, saltpeter and sulfur are in sufficient supply, and fireworks have become popular among the people. Rich families will set them off during festivals or weddings.

Ordinary people also knew how to make their own fireworks sticks using saltpeter and charcoal powder.

However, the number of fires has increased significantly each year.

Huang Ye and others had already prepared. They took out a bunch of sky-high fireworks and set them off in front of Fengyi Palace, allowing people from all over the city to enjoy the fireworks show.

Madam Hongyun and Wei Caiqin were drunk and clamoring to gamble.

Everyone started to make a fuss, making Fengyi Palace a chaotic place.

After playing until late at night, Jiang Yourong smiled and said, "Sisters, go back. Tomorrow the emperor will inspect the orphanage, and we will all accompany him. Go back and rest early and get some energy."

Then everyone dispersed.

Ye Kun stayed behind in Fengyi Palace.

Jiang Yourong complained: "It's just a birthday, but so much money was wasted. If it were in the past, this money could support the villagers of Caomiao Village for a whole year."

"It's a different time now. You are the queen now, so you can't be too shabby. Besides, we are spending our own money, not the people's money."

Ye Kun helped Jiang Yourong onto the bed together.

Jiang Yourong smiled and said, "Go to bed early and don't be too tired."

"I've been in seclusion in the Science and Technology City these days. I'm not tired, not tired..." Ye Kun smiled awkwardly.

……

There are two orphanages in Zhuo County, both in the outer city, one in the east and one in the west.

The orphanage has a supporting school and a small hospital, both of which are under the charge of Wei Caiqin.

The staff inside are all women, and men are usually not allowed to enter.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Ye Kun brought Jiang Yourong, Xie Baochan, Wei Caiqin and others to the orphanage to inspect and check all the work.

Mainly living conditions, diet and nutrition, health education and so on.

Most of the children in the orphanage are girls, and many of them are disabled.

Wei Caiqin introduced the situation:

"I come to check the two orphanages in Zhuo County every three to five days. The children's lives are still guaranteed, but the expenses are high. Our staffing is 1,000 orphans and 100 service management and education personnel are assigned...

I also plan to set up an orphanage school in the future, and send children over ten years old to school.”

Ye Kun nodded: "If the money is not enough, we will increase the investment and make sure these children live well and grow up healthily."

Wei Caiqin sighed: "But there are too many orphans sent here, about 10 to 20 every day, most of them are baby girls."

Ye Kun nodded and asked Tan Bamao beside him: "How many people are there in the new capital of Zhuo County now?"

Tan Bamao said: "Last month's statistics showed that the number was 470,000, including the Science and Technology City and the Industrial City."

"Are there so many people?" Ye Kun was surprised.

When the capital was moved here, there were only a few hundred thousand people here.

In just two or three years, the population increased by 200,000 to 300,000 people.

Tan Bamao smiled and said, "Many people come here to do business, to study, and to recruit craftsmen and managers from various institutions. Before we know it, there are more people. Zhuo County is now more prosperous than Chengdu was back then."

In another year or two, Zhuo County may not be able to meet its own food and vegetable needs and will need to import food from outside. "

Ye Kun nodded: "Don't worry about that. After the canal is opened, transporting grain will not be a problem."

Wei Caiqin said: "We still need to control the problem of abandoned babies among the people, otherwise our burden will become heavier and heavier. These parents are all wolves at heart, how could they bear to abandon their own flesh and blood?"

Ye Kun sighed: "This problem needs to be solved by legislation. I will ask Ma Zhao and others to discuss it at the next meeting."

Jiang Yourong was standing aside, holding up a little girl of about five or six years old: "Child, what's your name?"

"The teacher said that I am the Queen's child. My name is Jiang Weiwei."

"Good boy, I am the queen."

Jiang Yourong's eyes turned red, and she touched the little girl's head: "But I'm not a good mother. I only came to see you now."

Jiang Weiwei's eyes widened: "Are you my mother? Mom is so beautiful. But mom, why don't you want me? Why do you put me here?"

Jiang Yourong couldn't hold it in any longer and started crying, covering her mouth. "I'm sorry, it's Mom's fault. Mom will take you home today, okay?"

Everyone was moved, their eyes turned red and they wiped their tears secretly.

Ye Kun also felt upset and said to Wei Caiqin:

"Caiqin, all the children here should be treated as our own children and must be taken good care of. Teachers and childcare workers should be assigned to each class, and responsibilities should be divided and implemented. If any childcare worker is found to be abusing a child or withholding food expenses, they will be severely punished!"

Wei Caiqin nodded: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will strengthen management."

After the inspection, Jiang Yourong took Xiao Weiwei away.

At the same time, sufficient funds were left.

Ye Kun instructed Wen Axiu: "Teacher Wen, tomorrow's newspaper must publish today's inspection of the orphanage. And tomorrow's big broadcast should also be broadcast. Promote the sentiments of the Empress, who is the mother of the country and loves her children as well as other people's children."

Wen Axiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will write the manuscript myself."

Ye Kun said: "After you finish writing the manuscript, show it to me."

Wen Axiu nodded and did it immediately.

The manuscript was delivered in the evening.

Ye Kun took a look at it, added some content, signed and printed it.

The next morning, the headlines of both newspapers reported that the Queen accompanied the Emperor to inspect the orphanage.

It also describes many details, including the interactions between Jiang Yourong and Xiao Weiwei.

The article concludes:

"The Han Emperor Ye Kun emphasized that children are the future of the Chinese people and all their hopes. Caring for every child is the responsibility of our generation. If we can't even take care of our children, our great country of China is not worthy of being called a country of etiquette and a country of etiquette.

Queen Jiang Yourong pointed out that children are like delicate flowers and need our special care. Every child is a flower; every blade of grass can hold a dewdrop. Boys and girls are our flesh and blood, and they should receive the care of their parents and have a carefree and happy childhood..."

There are not only texts, but also simple black and white illustrations.

In the illustration, Jiang Yourong is dignified and graceful, a model mother of the country, holding little Weiwei in her arms, her face full of love and warmth.

Three thousand more copies of the newspaper were printed the next day.

The big radio stations also broadcast news continuously in the morning and evening.

Jiang Yourong heard the broadcast and saw the newspaper, and smiled: "The newspaper wrote about me so well, I feel so sorry for those orphans. Teacher Wen praised me so much, it made me blush."
