The deputy general smiled when he saw them say this and said, "You guys, stop worrying about it."
"The Emperor gifted Huilong Island to the little princess. The little princess has already had people renovate Huilong Island, and it's now open for business."
"The little princess is different from you fools. She has business acumen."
"This is a gift from the little princess, just accept it."
"If you are truly grateful to the little princess, then guard this border well."
"As long as we guard the border well, the little princess will be able to grow up happily!"
After the deputy general finished speaking, they looked at each other.
"I'll take it. I want to stay alive and help the little princess guard this border!"
"Yes, I'll take it too."
"I'll take it too!"
One person took the lead, and the others followed suit and took it.
The deputy general smiled with satisfaction, "That's right."
"Don't worry, you are not the only ones who have it. Every soldier has it."
"This year, no comrades will freeze to death."
As the deputy general spoke, his eyes became red.
This frontier is the most difficult.
In previous years, many people would freeze to death during the twelfth lunar month.
The boys nodded vigorously, "Okay!"
"We got it!"
"We will protect the border!"
They put on new cotton-padded clothes, which were very warm. When they put them on, their hearts felt warm.
When I walked out again, the biting cold wind didn't seem to be a big deal.
The deputy general waited until they all left and sighed softly.
He thought of his former comrades and couldn't help wiping away tears.
After thinking for a while, he got up and went to find Prince Yuchi Su.
"My Lord."
The deputy general knelt on one knee and saluted.
"Deputy General Chen, please get up quickly. What are you doing?" Yuchi Su hurriedly helped him up.
After Xier's birthday party, Yuchi Su came back here.
We can't do without him here, he has a lot of things to deal with.
He also knew that Yuchi Xi had recently sent a batch of cotton clothes.
"My Lord, I have something I have kept in my heart for a long time, and I have decided to tell you."
Deputy General Chen thought for a moment and said, "That's it."
"Our soldiers are always thinking about their families. For example, today, I gave them white rice..."
Lieutenant General Chen's eyes welled up as he spoke, "They wanted to keep their share of rice and send it back home. Also, they wanted to save their cotton-padded clothes for their younger brothers and sisters at home."
"I know that what I'm saying might be a bit unreasonable, but for the sake of the soldiers, I feel I need to speak out."
"My dear Prince, could you please persuade the Emperor to increase the benefits for the soldiers' families?"
Lieutenant General Chen lowered his head and said, "I know that our Yuan Kingdom has provided very good care for the welfare of its soldiers and the families of those who died on the battlefield."
"But can we provide some additional benefits to the families of these surviving soldiers?"
Deputy General Chen pursed his lips and said, "I know this is a bit difficult."
"I just hope that the emperor can understand that the families of those soldiers are not having a good time."
"If someone brings this matter up before the Emperor, he'll know something about it."
After hearing what he said, Yuchi Su sighed and said, "Deputy General Chen, to be honest, the Emperor and I have often mentioned this matter. It's not that the Emperor doesn't want to help them."
"But there are too many warriors!"
"There are too many families of soldiers."
"Nowadays, the national treasury is empty. Repairing roads and bridges in remote areas requires huge sums of money."
"The Emperor is powerless now!"
"But it's good that you can find the problem and tell me."
"I will also tell the Emperor about your request. Don't worry, the Emperor is not a tyrant as rumored. He will listen to your suggestions."
"If you have anything to say, just speak up. Don't be afraid!"
"Yes!" Lieutenant General Chen felt that this was already very good.
He knew that the emperor was very busy. The Yuan Dynasty was so big and there were too many things to deal with.
He just hoped that this matter could be written into a memorial and sent to the emperor so that the emperor would know about it, that's all!
Even if it cannot be solved now, the emperor knows about it, so it is only a matter of time before it is solved.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Why are you thanking me?" Yuchi Su smiled. "I just hope that our Yuan Kingdom can be well, and that you can all be well too."
Deputy General Chen was touched and said, "Yes, don't worry, everything will be fine!"
Deputy General Chen resolved his worries and walked out. As soon as he went out, he saw the soldiers kneeling in the direction of the palace, shouting, "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, and a thousand years and a thousand years for the little princess."
They kowtowed three times.
They didn't kneel inside just now because they wanted to come out and organize everyone to kneel together.
Deputy General Chen smiled, then knelt down, kowtowed and shouted.
Yuchi Su was inside listening to the shouts outside and exclaimed, "As expected of my Royal Brother."
"Sure enough, things like governing the country still have to be done by my royal brother."
Yuchi Su wrote down what Deputy General Chen said, tied it to Albatross's legs, and asked Albatross to send the letter back.
"It's just that my royal brother has a headache."
A few days later, Emperor Dewu received Yuchi Su's letter. He read it word by word and told the eunuch beside him, "Go, get the Minister of Revenue to come over."
"yes!"
The eunuch hurried out to pass on the message.
Yuchi Xi:?
