The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

The students of the twelfth class have all graduated. This batch of graduates, including the main campus and four branches, has a total of more than 13,000 people.

More than 2,000 of these people came from relatively well-off families and went back home on their own after graduation.

There are also about 5,000 people who chose to stay in school to continue their studies. These people have support from their families and have a great chance of staying in the girls' school in the future.

The rest were ordinary students, who were assigned jobs in various factories of the girls' school.

Those small workshops back then have now expanded into factories that can accommodate tens of thousands of people.

In addition to these main factories, there are many factories with thousands of employees in various regions and of various types.

The factory management system also swept across the country, and many businessmen spontaneously used this model, which doubled their profits.

The wars in recent years have not brought down the Great Chu, and there is even a subtle upward trend.

After all, most of the money earned went into military supplies.

Men go to war and women work at home. Many women take on the responsibilities of the family.

From another perspective, this war played a certain role in promoting the development of women's education.

What is the most important thing in fighting a war?

money.

Great Chu will win.

Now that Great Chu has taken over one-third of Mo Sheng’s territory, the Chu Emperor’s intention is very clear: to take over Mo Sheng directly to avoid any further trouble.

To the west of Mosheng, there are high mountains, forming a natural barrier.

It is said that there is a country on the other side of the mountains, but due to language barriers and inconvenient transportation, there has never been any communication.

The most important thing now is to eliminate the enemy spies in the court and the army.

The King of Chu tore open the secret letter and memorized every word in it.

High Priest Mo Sheng...

Chu people.

More than fifty years ago, he fled from Da Chu to Mo Sheng, and was then raised by King Mo Sheng and was deeply trusted by him.

Isn't it a bit unbelievable that a king of Mo Sheng would trust the people of Da Chu so much?

The King of Chu lightly threw the letter in his hand into the charcoal brazier.

"Go, have them investigate Mo Sheng's past as king, especially anything related to Da Chu."

The King of Chu couldn't think of any other reason why someone could be inexplicably nice to someone, other than knowing them.

He had a vague guess in his heart that it might be related to the late emperor.

Thinking of the enemy spy in the army, the King of Chu stroked the beads in his hand. The Chu State had suffered several defeats in battles, which were closely related to that enemy spy.

Because of this, the Great Chu lost a lot of soldiers.

Thinking of this, the King of Chu ordered people to reward the families of the soldiers who had died.

"Oh right, there's also the Duan Hou Mansion. The young marquis's whereabouts are unknown, so we should comfort him as well."

A series of huge rewards came out from the palace, and all the families who received the rewards knelt down to thank the Emperor of Chu for his kindness.

Duan Houfu did not receive any news from Kang Ge'er, but received the imperial edict from the Emperor of Chu.

"The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims: Since I ascended the throne, I have diligently and diligently carried out the imperial decrees, striving for peace and prosperity for the people. Duan Chengkang, a descendant of loyal and virtuous men, has studied literature and martial arts since childhood, cherishing the aspiration to serve his country. When the frontier is in crisis, you resolutely volunteer to serve the battlefield."

When the country is in trouble, you should lead the troops, charge into battle, save the people from danger, and maintain the peace of the country.

Your achievements are known to Heaven above and are trusted by the people below. Following the legacy of your ancestors, you have been awarded three titles, which I greatly commend. I hope that in the future, you will be even more diligent, uphold your loyalty as a minister, share the burdens of the court, and work for the well-being of the people.

Announce it to the world, and the envoys will hear about it. "

After a long speech, he meant to confer the title of Marquis on Duan Chengkang.

It turned out that the young man who made everyone in the capital shake their heads not only won a marquisate for his father, but also won one for himself and even for his son.

Like the Luohou Mansion, three generations will be rewarded.

If Kang Ge'er comes back alive, then this will be a reward.

If someone dies, it is called posthumous honoring.

Of course, in this situation, the Emperor of Chu first issued an imperial decree, one reason being to believe that Kang Ge'er was still alive and to appease the Marquis' Mansion.

Secondly, to confuse the eyes of some people in the capital, especially...

On the front line, Kang Ge'er's specific situation is naturally highly confidential.

Even the closest people cannot tell it.

His youngest son, Prince Chun, came to ask about him several times, and each time there was worry in his eyes, and even his health was not as good as usual.

Prince Chun was ill, and his wife took care of him day and night, so the child was naturally placed in front of the imperial concubine to help take care of him.

Ever since the last incident involving the emperor's grandchildren, the Emperor of Chu had sent those grandchildren back home, telling them to study hard at home and not to come to the palace anymore.

Yugu became the only child in the palace.

The imperial concubine often brought him out to bask in the sun. When some childless concubines heard that the imperial concubine had come out, they would also come out to join in the fun.

In addition to those old rivals, the imperial concubine was also willing to interact with these young concubines.

Yu Gu sat there, and the concubines all loved to tease him and talk to him.

He spoke little, but every word was responded to.

Seeing such a soft and sweet child, the concubines' hearts melted.

Yu Gu sniffed quietly and found no strange smell, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

When he first saw his grandfather's concubines, they all wore perfumed powder on their bodies. The strong smell made him sneeze several times.

Later, they knew that Yu Gu didn't like the smell, so they stopped applying it and didn't even wear the sachet.

This is better, it saves a lot of dirty things.

These concubines lived much better lives now. They had a kind and generous queen above them. Their lives were much better than before, and the standards and regulations were strictly followed according to the quota.

The Emperor of Chu had always been generous to his women; even the youngest concubine lived a comfortable life with only her monthly salary.

So even if they are not favored, their lives are very comfortable.

Not to mention that it's no longer a question of whether or not he's favored. After all, His Majesty is already seventy-two years old...

At most, they would go to a palace to sit and talk for a while, and then leave.

Even so, they were satisfied. They were not very happy to serve the old man. It would be better for them to stay at home and live their own lives.

Three or two sisters play cards and go out for a walk together.

It can be said that the women of the Emperor of Chu lived the most comfortable life among all the concubines of the Emperor of Chu.

Not having children is no big deal for them.

As long as the Emperor of Chu and the Empress were still around, no one dared to deprive them of their wealth. Palace rules were strict, and the remains of those who had deceived their superiors and subordinates were still hanging in the basement of the Imperial Household Department.

When the new emperor comes to the throne, no matter who he is, they will be the concubines and will be able to live on.

They don't care about the glory anymore, they just want to live a peaceful and stable life.

As time went by, the palace became a little lonely, and it was lively with a child around.

Some concubines laughed and recalled that the last time it was so lively was when Duan Jiazi entered the palace.

Counting the time, more than ten years have passed.
