Traveling through the millennium: creating a prosperous dynasty with you

Xu Zhen said with a smile on his face: "Today is a day worth celebrating! Those who have been wronged finally got the chance to seek justice, and those who have grudges have also successfully avenged themselves! Come, let us raise our glasses together and say goodbye to the past! From now on, a bright and smooth road will surely await us!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone stood up, raised their glasses, and drank them all in one gulp. The cold and refreshing beer slid into their throats, like a spring flowing through, making people feel extremely comfortable and happy!

For Qian Mingcheng, this was the first time in his life that he tasted such special wine and food. At this moment, he was secretly glad that he had made a wise decision.

Now, he not only successfully protected his mother and sister, but more importantly, he knew that the princess had a heavy responsibility and urgently needed capable help.

Therefore, he silently prayed that the princess would give him full trust.

He once swore that he would never betray the princess in this life and would serve her wholeheartedly and sincerely!

He heard that his uncle and the eldest princess and her husband were running their business according to the methods taught by the princess, and that they were actually thriving and making a fortune.

In the past, my uncle would go out to travel after staying in the capital for a few days, but this time he was willing to stay in the capital and focus on his career development.

This shows that he has invested great enthusiasm and energy in his current business. It can be said that this attraction even surpasses his previous personal hobbies.

During this period of time, he remained in the palace as a witness. However, the great changes in the outside world continued to reach his ears.

All these amazing changes originated from the princess in front of him who was about the same age as him.

He always thought highly of himself and felt that everything was under control, but when facing the princess, he found that his little cleverness was insignificant.

Now that the case was settled, he had become penniless. Fortunately, the prince and princess were magnanimous and kind-hearted. Not only did they not confiscate the dowry he left for his sister, they also did not implicate his sister who was far away.

My sister loved traveling with her uncle since she was young. Once, it rained heavily at night, and the road was slippery, causing the carriage to wreck.

Fortunately, they were rescued by several nuns who happened to be passing by and were taken back to the Taoist temple to rest for a few days.

When my sister was still a little girl, she would go to listen to the master's chanting and teaching every day during the days of recuperation. The nun saw that my sister was quite intelligent and concluded that she had a connection with the Buddha, so she accepted her as a lay disciple.

In recent years, due to the raging epidemic and the turbulent situation in various places, my sister took the initiative to go to the temple to pray for the welfare of the country and the people.

Perhaps my sister’s piety moved God. Although the Qian family experienced such a great change, my sister was not affected at all. It is such a blessing!

Every time my mother received a letter from my sister, she would write back to tell her that everything was fine at home and that she didn't need to worry.

All the misfortunes are over, and just as the princess said, their future will be bright.

Everyone ate and talked, and after a few drinks, the mood was no longer so depressing.

An Chen: "I heard from my father that General Sun is going to return to Sima Army?"

Sun Mao: "Yes, General Sima's revenge has been achieved, and the young master has been found. The worries in my heart have been resolved. I have been staying in the barracks with General Sima since I was a child. It has become my home. I will leave for home soon. I will protect the Sima army and the border of Anguo."

An Chen: "Since you are willing to protect Sima Jun, and the emperor is going to let you take over Sima Jun, why are you unwilling?"

Sun Mao looked at Sima Yi and moved his lips, but he didn't say anything in the end. Everyone knew that he hoped Sima Yi could return to the barracks and inherit Sima Jun's position.

Sima Yi took a deep breath and said slowly: "I have joined the Guo family tree. From now on, I am Guo Yi. Brother Sun has followed my father since he was a child. You are no different from my biological brother. You are fully capable of taking over the Si family army."

Sun Mao looked at Sima Yi with a firm gaze and said, "I once swore that I would follow the general and protect the Si family army for the rest of my life. Although the old general is gone, we still have the two of you, the young generals. No matter which one of you takes over, I will follow you until death."

Sima Yi sighed softly and said, "Everyone knows the situation of the Guo family. My grandfather only has one daughter, my mother. Now, my mother has passed away. I voluntarily join the Guo family tree and take care of my grandfather in his old age. He is getting old and cannot be left unattended." At this point, Sima Yi's voice became slightly low and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

Sun Mao said anxiously, "Young Master is right. Your Majesty, you should have a good talk with A Zhan. After all, he is the only one who can take over the Sima Army now."

An Chen frowned and replied in a serious tone: "At present, A Zhan is carrying out an important mission and I am afraid he will not be able to return in the short term. How about this, General Sun, you temporarily take over the position of General Sima Jun. When A Zhan completes his mission and returns, I will let him take over Sima Jun again."

Sun Mao was filled with gratitude and bowed to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your great kindness!"

At this time, Sima Yi suddenly interrupted and said, "It's a pity that I accidentally lost the crucial military token, and I still haven't found its whereabouts."

An Chen waved his hand and said comfortingly: "Don't worry about this matter. If you decide to go back and take over the Sima Army now, then I can hand over the military token to you now!"

Hearing this, Sun Mao and Sima Yi stood up at the same time and asked in unison: "Has the prince found the military token?"

An Chen nodded slightly to show his approval. Then, Xu Zhen took out the military token from the space and carefully placed it on the table.

When they saw the military token appear, they were both very excited. They asked almost at the same time: "May I ask where did the prince find this military token?"

An Chen: "It was dug out from under a dead tree on the day we met. Don't get excited. Sit down first. Let's eat and talk."

After the two sat down, Sun Mao asked, "There is indeed a dead tree. We dug there, but we found nothing."

An Chen: "It was buried there for several years. Maybe the soil above loosened and buried it quite deep."

Sima Yi: "I clearly remember that I found a very dense tree and buried myself under it. How did it become a dead tree?"

Tuan Tuan said in Xu Zhen's mind: "The military talisman carries the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. It has too much murderous aura. How can a tree bear it?"

Xu Zhen relayed what Tuantuan had said to the two of them, and when they heard it, they felt that it made sense.

Sima Yi: "Did the princess detect it with the little bee she used?"

Xu Zhen: "Well, I can't see anything underground with my mortal eyes. I can only use tools."

Sima Yi: "Those things are really useful. It would be great if the army could have them!"

Xu Zhen: "Don't worry, we will match them."

An Chen: "What are your plans for staying in the capital?"

Sima Yi: "I have been stationed in the military camp with my father. I don't know what to do when I return to Beijing."

An Chen: "You are very capable, don't worry, the emperor will not let you idle for too long. Now is the time to recruit people, I believe you will be assigned a position soon."

Sima Yi: "I am a warrior, and I have no idea what I can do when I enter the court."

Xu Zhen: "You have rich practical experience and are a rare talent. The school I plan to open has a military academy. No matter what position the emperor assigns you in the future, I will hire you as a teacher in our military academy. Is that okay?"

Sima Yi: "Of course, I'd love to. But I haven't read much. You said that this military academy sounds very impressive. Can someone like me do it?"

Xu Zhen: "Of course you can. You have so much practical experience, which is impossible for ordinary people to obtain. This is your capital."

Sima Yi: "Don't worry, Princess. If you need anything, just let me know. As long as it doesn't conflict with official duties, I will be there at your service. But I don't know what you need to say."

Xu Zhen: "We can call it a military academy. Generally speaking, the teaching content of a military academy mainly includes military affairs, politics, professional technology, science and culture, and sports.

Unlike ordinary schools, military academies have a strict management system. Students are required to act in a group and are not allowed to go out alone. They are not allowed to go out during class time unless there are special circumstances.

However, in order to facilitate everyone to handle personal affairs, generally speaking, Saturdays and Sundays are rest days, that is, two days off every seven days. But not everyone rests on these two days, but only a proportion of people go out, and a group of people can be replaced every week. Those who stay in school do not have regular classes, and all their time is allocated by themselves. In special circumstances, if you want to go out, you need to apply for leave step by step. "

Sima Yi: "That's right. We should cultivate their discipline from the beginning. The princess is wise and far-sighted."

Xu Zhen: "I am a soldier, and these are just my experiences. We are just learning from them. Military academies can train more professional military talents. Political power comes from the barrel of a gun. When the military is strong, no country will dare to offend us again."

Several people were very excited after hearing this. The princess really had so many good things in her mind that they couldn't help but admire her!

Sima Yi agreed deeply. He looked at Xu Zhen firmly and said, "I will do my best to teach the students what I have learned. But I am not sure what I can say."

Xu Zhen: "Don't worry, everything will be prepared for you. The school hasn't been built yet, so there's still plenty of time for you to prepare. I'll prepare the relevant textbooks and send them to you. You can take a general look at them first and choose the subject that suits your taste."

Sima Yi: "Okay, thank you, Princess!"

Xu Zhen nodded slightly. "With talents like you joining us, military education will surely flourish."

At this time, An Chen also showed a gratified smile, "I believe that with our joint efforts, the future of Anguo will be more prosperous."

Everyone raised their glasses and toasted for the prosperity of Anguo. In the laughter and joy, they seemed to see the hopeful future of Anguo.

After the meal, a few people went to the study to continue their discussion.

Xu Zhen told everyone about her recent plans.

You won't know until you tell me. Once you tell me, you'll be shocked. There are so many things to do! Qian Mingcheng finally found an opportunity.

He said, "Princess, I know a thing or two about business, and I'm quite interested in the chain and franchising you mentioned. If you have any relevant books, you can give them to me to read. Once I understand them, I am willing to help you manage your business together with my brothers from Guishamen."

Xu Zhen readily agreed, "Very good, but there is no rush. You should rest for a while and adjust your state first. I will sort out some books about business and send them to you later." Qian Mingcheng bowed to thank him.

An Chen also expressed his support, "Take your time and don't rush. Business development requires steady progress, and rushing for quick success will only backfire."

Sima Yi smiled and said, "Ming Cheng, you have found a treasure. If you work with the princess, you will definitely have a bright future."

Seeing that the prince and princess were willing to let him do something, Qian Mingcheng finally let go of his worries and smiled knowingly, "It is my honor to do my best for the princess. I will definitely study hard and live up to the princess's expectations."

Everyone chatted for a while, and the topic gradually turned to the future of Anguo. They looked forward to Anguo becoming increasingly powerful under Xu Zhen's leadership, and the people living and working in peace and contentment.

Xu Zhen: "Don't praise me too much! It will crush me. Let's work together. The development of a country requires the joint efforts of all people across the country. In particular, we need to mobilize the initiative of the people across the country. With the support of the people, many things can be done with half the effort!"

Living under the imperial power, they could understand this sentence literally, but in actual actions, they still followed the imperial power's orders.

It was not surprising to hear the princess emphasize the importance of the people. They recalled some of the things they had experienced together and found that the princess really put the people first in everything and never used her status as a goddess and princess to seek special treatment.

They knew that water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it, but this sentence seemed to remain only in words. They just tried their best to protect the people, and once there was a conflict of interest between the court and the people, they often chose to be loyal to the court.

Xu Zhen took a sip of tea and continued, "What we need to do is to let the people truly participate in the construction and development of the country. For example, we should encourage people to start businesses, provide policy support and financial assistance; hold various skills training to improve people's employment ability; promote fair and just laws and regulations to protect people's basic rights and interests. Only when people feel the care and attention of the country will they love this country more and be willing to work hard for the prosperity of the country."

An Chen and others nodded in agreement.

Sima Yi said with emotion: "The princess's insights are indeed unique. If everyone in Anguo can care about the people like the princess, there is no need to worry about the country's prosperity!"

Xu Zhen smiled and said, "This is also my ideal. I hope that Anguo can become a country where people can live and work in peace and prosperity."
