As the system said, good news soon came. Qin Zhang seemed to be born to be suitable for the battlefield. In addition to himself, he also brought Qin Wangjing with him.

He hoped that Qin Wangjing would take over his mantle and Qin Xubai would follow the path of literature, but he liked reading.

As for the rest, let them develop freely.

His energy is limited and he can't take care of so many things.

In a family, one or two people who stand out from the crowd will be enough.

If we train all of them, we will end up in a power struggle in the future.

Of course, that doesn't mean he doesn't care about them at all. As long as they are willing to work hard, he will still provide them with resources.

Although it is impossible to treat everyone equally, he will try his best.

Qin Ruchu closely followed the news from the battlefield, after all, it was related to her future.

She will live here in the future, and if the environment is not good, she will not be able to live well. Therefore, even for her own sake, she hopes that the losses in this war will be minimal.

To this end, she provided the soldiers with a batch of sweaters and down jackets.

The weather is cold, the battle is difficult to fight, and the soldiers may freeze to death on the battlefield if they are not careful.

They are the main labor force of a family. Losing one of them is a huge disaster for the family.

The country is made up of families, so she hopes that everyone is well, the land is well, and she is well too. She also spent a lot of money to get a recipe for instant noodles from the system, and had a batch of instant noodles produced urgently and sent to the border.

She didn't believe that a general who was good at fighting and had good food and clothing also had gunpowder. This war would be difficult to fight.

As she expected, good news came from the border before the Chinese New Year. The barbarians surrendered and promised not to invade the border within five years.

Qin Ruchu: "Why don't you mark that area as your own territory?"

The emperor quickly answered her question, "The barbarian lands are far away and difficult to govern. It would be better to make them vassal states and provide a certain amount of war horses to the court every year."

Besides raising cattle and horses, is there any other use for that place?

Qin Ruchu: "Isn't that a loss? In addition to war horses, there are also cattle and sheep on the grassland. Cows can produce milk, which can be drunk directly, made into milk tea, and can also be made into milk candy. Beef can be eaten directly, and can also be made into jerky. Cowhide can be made into shoes and bags. Sheep are more useful. Wool can also be made into wool sweaters, wool blankets, and wool coats. These are all resources. They are all turned into money. Why don't we use them? Wouldn't it be better to turn them into your own ranch?"

The emperor and his ministers looked at each other. They all understood the truth, but the mountains were high and the emperor was far away. The barbarians were warlike and difficult to manage. They were afraid that once the troops withdrew, the barbarians would rebel, and then the gains would be greater than the losses.

In response, Qin Ruchu said that if all the royal families on the grassland were to go mining, ordinary people would only need food and clothing. Who would care about who their superiors were?

The emperor and his ministers discussed it and decided to give it a try. They felt that losing some cattle and sheep was not a big deal, and they didn't like to eat it that much anyway. But after hearing what Qin Ruchu said, they couldn't bear to give it up. They could not eat it, but they didn't want to throw away the large sum of money they had earned. For the sake of the money, they had to give it a try.

The grassland royal families were so angry that they thought they could just surrender, but they didn't know that they wanted to uproot them and leave them no chance of survival.

He couldn't beat him, so he had to run away. Unfortunately, his thoughts were seen through, and he was caught before he could escape.

This was good. I was sent to the mine with nothing, and from then on, I lived a "good life" with food and shelter provided.

The grassland has become her own, which makes it very convenient for Qin Ruchu to purchase goods. At least she no longer needs to worry about the war between the two sides and the seizure of goods. As for other dangers, her caravan is the largest caravan on this road, plus it is protected by the army. Who dares to rob it?

Because he was one of the owners of the Emperor's shop, he sent troops to protect the caravan.

The money earned by the caravan is used to feed the army, forming a virtuous cycle.

It's not that ministers haven't submitted memorials saying that this is against the rules, and the emperor directly rejected them. What rules? His words are rules, and no one can hinder him from making money.

Those who were jealous could follow suit, and as long as they could make money for him, he would also make things convenient for them.

When Qin Ruchu's career was booming, she became pregnant.

Qin Ruchu suspected that she had heard it wrongly. "System, what did you say?"

System: "Host, you are pregnant."

Qin Ruchu touched her belly and asked, "It's swollen. What's wrong?"

System: "You don't have no man, isn't it normal if you do?"

What you said is simply nonsense.

Qin Ruchu: "What you said, before being completely accepted by this party, shouldn't you be pregnant?"

She only thought of this later, but she was not the kind of person who would give in to others' grievances. She did the same thing as Tang Yiqian, and in fact, she did not lose anything, and even gained something.

Tang Yiqian has both a top-notch appearance and figure. If you want to find someone like him in the future... forget it, it's impossible.

System: "How long has it been since you last looked at your merit progress bar? It's been long enough."

Qin Ruchu opened the merit progress bar and said, "I never look at the merit progress bar."

It was really disturbing. She felt that she could never accumulate a million merits in her lifetime. She was completely living a life of luxury.

Looking at the red merit progress bar, Qin Ruchu was greatly surprised. "It's full, it's full? How come it's full all of a sudden?"

It's so surprising.

The system thought she was surprised and asked, "Host, don't you know what you have done?"

Not to mention that she rescued so many women and helped them create a new land, what she did for the soldiers alone was meritorious.

You know, except for those injured in the battlefield, not a single soldier froze to death, died of cold, or died of hunger. These were inevitable in the past, but because of her, they were all avoided this time.

Qin Ruchu: "So, we can get a divorce?"

When Tang Yiqian heard this as soon as he arrived, his face immediately darkened.

Qin Ruchu didn't notice, she happily announced the good news to him, "You are pregnant."

"Pregnant?" Tang Yiqian repeated these words in confusion.

Sorry, he hasn't responded yet.

Qin Ruchu stretched out her hand and waved it at him, "Are you unhappy?"

Doesn't he look forward to this child?

"Are you pregnant?"

Suddenly, Tang Yiqian raised his voice.

Qin Ruchu was glad that she was in the office, otherwise wouldn't she be able to kill the monkey?

"Keep your voice down." She tugged at Tang Yiqian's sleeve.

"That's great." Tang Yiqian happily picked her up and spun around.

"Stop." Qin Ruchu patted his shoulder.

She was so dizzy from all the spinning, couldn't he understand a thing?

"I'm sorry, I'm too happy." Tang Yiqian put her down.

"My feelings are coming." Qin Ruchu rolled her eyes, "But I still have to say, this child is awesome."

She must be taken away.

"You gave birth to me, so of course it's yours." Tang Yiqian was very easy to talk to.

"What I mean is that after I give birth to the baby, I will divorce you and take the baby away." Qin Ruchu said bluntly.

No, she wants to be disappointed, but it's better to tell her earlier and be mentally prepared earlier. When she is done with the confinement period in the future, she can just pack up and leave to avoid any trouble.

"Let me ask you, do you hate me?" Tang Yiqian took Qin Ruchu to sit on the chair.

Qin Ruchu shook her head, "I don't hate it."

He was a pretty good person. He didn't rush to kill the person who had plotted against him. If it were her, she would definitely give that person a good lesson.

No one can accept being schemed against.

No one can.

So he is a good person.

Who would dislike a nice, handsome guy? But she can't.

"It just so happens that I like you, why don't we give it a try?" Tang Yiqian held her hand and said sincerely.

Try? Try what? It took Qin Ruchu a while to realize what he meant. Her pupils shrank sharply, and then she shook her head, "Sorry, I don't need love."

〖These days, a man can have four wives and concubines. If she gives her heart to you, how can she take concubines? Wouldn't she be heartbroken? It's better to be alone, free and unfettered. If you miss a man, you can keep a concubine.〗

"You don't have to take a concubine." Tang Yiqian promised.

Qin Ruchu didn't believe it, "It sounds better than singing."

〖When you are tired of it, you should take a concubine or be romantic. If you can trust a man's words, a sow will climb a tree.〗

"If that really happens, I can divorce you and give you all the money I have." Tang Yiqian took a step back and said.

He just wants to keep her now, nothing else.

"What if you don't fulfill your promise?" Qin Ruchu said with her eyes rolling.

You know, when a man is pursuing a woman, he can say anything.

"놖 will let you see 놖's determination." Tang Yiqian said.

How do you see it? Qin Ruchu soon found out, because Tang Yiqian actually went to ask for an imperial edict, which stated that if he wanted to take a concubine, he would divorce Qin Ruchu and give her all his money.

Qin Ruchu was stunned. "No, why would the emperor mess with you?"

Tang Yiqian would not tell her that this was an imperial decree he had obtained in exchange for one of his shares, and he lied to her, "Your Majesty also wants us to be together."

"Tell the truth." Qin Ruchu pointed at him with the imperial edict.

"That's the truth." Tang Yiqian absolutely did not admit that he had lied before.

Qin Ruchu couldn't ask, so she gave up. She opened the imperial edict and read it happily, "I didn't expect you like it so much."

Being liked by others always makes one happy, and she is no exception.

Tang Yiqian hugged her from behind and placed his hands weakly on her belly, "Oh, I like it very much."

Tang Yiqian's love is not just talk, but put into practice.

He specifically consulted the court physician on how to take care of a pregnant woman, and took care of Qin Ruchu personally.

He personally asked about the ingredients Qin Ruchu ate and designated each meal himself. Otherwise, if he was not free, he would cook for Qin Ruchu himself.

The clothes he wore were also made by the embroiderer at his request. Oh, the pattern was provided by him, because he hoped that Qin Ruchu would feel more comfortable wearing them.

At night, he would wake up whenever Qin Ruchu hummed.

"Don't be too nervous." Qin Ruchu smiled at him.

"Of course. If I can't help you share the hardship of raising a child, then I must take good care of you." Tang Yiqian said, holding her hand.

"I feel like you'll get sick if you continue like this." Qin Ruchu said helplessly.

She just said it casually, but she didn't expect it to become such a cliché.

When the baby was one month old, Tang Yiqian suffered from morning sickness.

At that time, everyone was eating, and Tang Yiqian suddenly felt nauseous.

Everyone was worried, so they asked the court doctor to come and see him, but he couldn't see anything. Then they asked the imperial physician, but he still couldn't see anything.

Everyone just thought he had eaten something wrong.

Unexpectedly, he started vomiting again and again and couldn't eat anything. At this point, everyone felt something was wrong.

Liu Songyi said, "Generally speaking, only pregnant women behave like this. Why are you like this too?"

A word can awaken a dreamer.

Qin Ruchu blurted out, "Pregnancy-associated syndrome."

She explained the disease to others.

Everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Tang Yiqian.

Tang Yiqian did not feel ashamed but proud, "This shows that I am worried about you, my wife, and I am obsessed with you."

"You are really shameless." Tang Yizheng complained.

"Don't care about shame, I only want my wife." Tang Yiqian leaned his head on Qin Ruchu's shoulder and said.
