Chapter 21 The Emperor Provides Welfare for Border Soldiers

General Nan Shaoan patted the guard's shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry, brother. Tell the emperor that I will lead the soldiers to guard the border."

The generals were confused when they heard the word "Emperor" and the deputy general asked a question.

"General, aren't you talking about the princess?" Why are they mentioning the emperor again?

General Nan Shaoan looked at the generals and said, "The princess is the emperor. The princess's guards said that she ascended the throne half a month ago."

The generals were shocked. The princess actually became the emperor?

Seeing their surprised expressions, General Nan Shaoan continued.

"This batch of grain was secretly prepared and shipped by the princess's guards. I'm afraid the seeds were also the vegetables the emperor wanted us to grow to supplement his income."

The guard bowed and said, "General, you are right. The princess said that the court and private supplies may not be delivered in time. The army can first grow vegetables to supplement the supply.

If you have a lot of leftover vegetables, you can dry them, pickle them, and store them in a jar so you can eat them anytime.

This is just the princess's suggestion, but she has provided a tutorial, so you can check it out first."

General Nan Shaoan took the instruction manual and was more and more surprised the more he read it.

"Hahaha, the Emperor is truly remarkable; he even understands animal husbandry. Very good, pass the word down and have someone procure a batch of live chickens, ducks, and geese. We can raise them and let them lay eggs, which can be used to provide nutritional supplements to the soldiers on a daily basis.

We should also find a way to catch live rabbits and breed them, so that we can always have rabbit meat to eat in the future."

The deputy general's head was buzzing after hearing this. "Then General, can we catch other animals?"

General Nan Shaoan said loudly, "Yes, it's just hunting. If you can't finish it, dry it and make it into jerky and store it. You can eat meat anytime in the future.

Oh, there's a river nearby, right? We could go fishing there, or dig a pond and raise fish. We can grill fish and make fish soup anytime, or even dry it in the sun to make dried fish."

The generals were dumbfounded.

"General, is this all what the Emperor said?"

"Yes, General."

The guards were also stunned: Is their princess so powerful?

General Nan Shaoan laughed again. "That's right. The emperor also said that vegetable seedlings can be used to feed chickens. We can also enclose large areas of land and let the chickens, ducks and geese find food on their own. We will be responsible for surrounding the land."

The guard dropped the steamed bun in his hand onto the table. General Nan Shaoan took a look and immediately picked it up and handed it to him.

"Brother, don't waste the food. You worked so hard to transport it here."

Thinking that he didn't know the name of the person in front of him, General Nan Shaoan patted the guard's shoulder again.

"Brother, what's your name?"

The generals also looked at him.

"Your subordinate is Zheng Wei."

"Okay. Come on, brothers, eat and drink and get to work."

The male and female academies in the capital have been renovated and furnished.

The young master and the young guard each examined it carefully, and then smiled with satisfaction.

Shangguan Wanjun quickly learned thirty words today and was practicing calligraphy while Master Yun was watching from the side.

Eunuch Lin and Liu Cheng looked at each other, both waiting silently.

Su Yude hurried in and said, "Your Majesty, the Junior Tutor and Junior Guardian request to see you."

Shangguan Wanjun practiced calligraphy while saying, "Announce."

The two of them quickly entered the palace. "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

"No need to be polite, please sit down, wait a moment and rest for a while." She still had ten words to practice.

She set a requirement for herself that she must write each new word three times, which means thirty words, which is ninety times.

Eunuch Lin whispered an order to Liu Cheng, and the Tea Fragrance Courtyard brought four cups of tea.

Seeing that there was tea to drink, the young master and the young guard nodded slightly in thanks.

After practicing calligraphy, Shangguan Wanjun put down her pen, stood up, and bowed to Taifu Chaoyun.

"Teacher, please take a look."

Seeing that the emperor still had something to do, Taifu Yun took the rice paper and returned to his seat to check.

Shangguan Wanjun came over and sat down. "How is it?"

The two men stood up and bowed, "Your Majesty, the boys' and girls' academies have been cleaned and decorated."

A pair of delicate hands picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then put it down.

"Thank you both, my dear ministers. Please go home and rest for half a day. Please leave."

After the two left, Master Yun came over with rice paper.

"Your Majesty, have they finished everything?"

"Well, it depends on how Master Zhang Danyang recruits."

Afterwards, Taifu Yun singled out the problematic characters and explained them carefully to the emperor, which benefited her a lot.

"Students are learning, and teachers have worked hard today. Please take a rest first and continue the class after your nap."

Grand Tutor Yun bowed and said, "This old minister will take his leave."

Shangguan Wanjun, who was preparing to dine alone, smiled faintly when she heard the palace maid's words.

"Xuan."

"Summon Lord Zhang Shanyang to the audience!"

Shangguan Wanjun looked at Youyou and said, "Add some bowls and chopsticks."

Youyou bowed and left. When she came back with the dishes and chopsticks, Zhang Danyang had already sat down.

"Your Majesty, the dishes and chopsticks have been brought."

Shangguan Wanjun nodded slightly and said, "Put it down. Master Zhang, please have your meal and I will report back later."

The world is big, but eating is the most important thing. Her frail body cannot handle government affairs on an empty stomach.

Zhang Danyang was tense throughout the whole process: he had never thought that one day he would be able to dine with the current emperor, and with a beautiful girl.

Thinking of the first female emperor of this dynasty, the dynasty he had originally founded was over.

Looking at the decrees issued by the emperor, he saw hope again.

Shangguan Wanjun had no idea of ​​his inner thoughts, so she just followed her own heart and acted according to the current situation.

In the pavilion in the courtyard, Shangguan Wanjun fanned herself leisurely, feeling the cool breeze and feeling much better.

"My dear, please begin."

Zhang Shanyang took out a piece of rice paper from his arms and said, "Your Majesty, please take a look at this list first. I have specially selected it."

Shangguan Wanjun took it and checked it one by one.

"There are more." She saw several books.

"Your Majesty, these other masters."

"Does that mean you've found a teacher?"

Zhang Shanyang cupped his hands and said, "Yes."

"Then we only have the students left, and I don't know what to do. Go out of the palace and ask them about it. Tell them I have given you my instructions, and have them personally submit the headcount to me."

Zhang Shanyang stood up and bowed, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will take my leave."

Shangguan Wanjun nodded slightly, then remembered that she hadn't given the reward yet, so she said, "Wait."

He took off the jade bracelet, ring and bracelet from his wrist and handed them to Zhang Danyang.

"The jade bracelet is given to you as a reward. Please hand it over to the Junior Tutor, and the bracelet to the Junior Guardian. Just say that I forgot about it before. This is a reward for them."

Zhang Danyang, who received the emperor's reward for the first time, looked a little excited.

"I thank the Emperor for the reward and will personally hand it over to you two gentlemen."

Shangguan Wanjun waved her hand, and after he left, she reached out and rubbed her waist.

Youyou took a look and quickly said, "Your Majesty, how about this servant rub your waist for you?"

Shangguan Wanjun was delighted when she heard this. "Youyou, little fairy, is so kind. Thank you for your hard work."

Hearing the emperor's praise, Youyou shyly stepped forward and gently rubbed Shangguan Wanjun's waist.

"It feels so good. I feel Youyou's technique is better than this morning."

Youyou blushed again, "Your Majesty is joking."

Thinking that she had not slept with Concubine Wen yet and fearing causing unnecessary trouble, Shangguan Wanjun looked at Eunuch Lin and gave him instructions.

"Tonight, we will go to Noble Concubine Wen's palace for dinner and stay overnight."

Eunuch Lin bowed and said, "Yes."
