The smoke of war gradually dissipated. Shen Qingchen and Jiang Zhi stood in the family courtyard. The breeze blew gently, bringing a sense of tranquility and peace. Their eyes were full of fatigue, but more of a longing and hope for the future.
Chen Qingchen raised his head slightly, looked at the mountains in the distance, and slowly said: "Child, now that this fierce battle has finally ended, we should also carefully consider the future development of our family. Over the years, the family has suffered a lot due to the secret mischief of that mysterious organization. Although the foundation is still there, it needs careful repair."
Jiang Zhi nodded gently, her hair fluttering in the wind. "Qingchen, you're absolutely right. The family's industrial layout needs to be replanned. Those shops abandoned by the war must be renovated and reopened as soon as possible. The education of the clan's children must also not be neglected. The most urgent task is to cultivate a group of rising talents with responsibility and strategy to ensure the family's long-term prosperity."
Shen Qingchen pondered for a moment and said, "In terms of business, I want to establish a closer trade alliance with several major families in the surrounding area. I have heard that there are rare treasures in the Western Regions. If we can open up trade routes with the Western Regions, bring those treasures to the Central Plains, and then sell our silk and tea from the Central Plains, it will definitely bring rich profits to the family. However, the journey to the Western Regions is long and dangerous, so we need to select capable people to make the journey."
Jiang Zhi took a step closer, his eyes determined. "I think Chen Yong in our clan is a man of courage and determination, and he has some experience in long-distance travel. He can take on this important task. We can also select some strong guards for him to look after him along the way, and we should be able to ensure his safety."
"Well, this is a very good plan." Shen Qingchen glanced at Jiang Zhi approvingly. "In addition to business, the family's farmland and manor also need to be reformed. I want to introduce new farming methods to increase grain production. Now that the war has just ended, the people's lives are difficult. Only when there is an abundance of food can we stabilize their hearts."
Jiang Zhi smiled slightly. "I've seen some records about water conservancy irrigation and soil improvement in medical books. Perhaps we can give it a try. We can also grow some medicinal herbs in the manor, which we can use for ourselves or sell to increase the family income."
As the two were talking, Shen Qingchen's eyes softened. He looked at Jiang Zhi and said softly, "Zhi'er, when talking about family matters, my mind was full of plans and plots, but I forgot to ask you, do you have any expectations for your life?"
Jiang Zhi was slightly startled, a blush spreading across her cheeks. "I only wish to be with you, to see our family prosper, and our children grow up safely and happily. For me, that is the best life."
Shen Qingchen gently held Jiang Zhi's hand, "I am no exception. But I also hope that you can have your own pursuits. You have superb medical skills. If you can pass on your medical skills, open a school, and train more doctors, it will be a great merit."
Jiang Zhi's eyes lit up. "Qingchen, your idea is brilliant. I'm willing to give it a try and pass on what I've learned to those who are interested in studying medicine, so that more people can receive treatment."
Shen Qingchen embraced Jiang Zhi in his arms, "And our children, I hope they can grow up in an environment full of love and warmth. I will teach them martial arts to strengthen their bodies, and you will teach them to read and write, and know medicine and medicine, so that they can become people with moral character and talent."
Jiang Zhi leaned in Shen Qingchen's arms, her heart filled with happiness. "When the children grow up, we can take them to travel around the world and broaden their horizons. Let them appreciate the beautiful rivers and mountains of this world, and also know the sufferings and hardships of the world."
Shen Qingchen nodded and smiled: “In this way, they can care about the world, become the pride of the family in the future, and contribute their own strength to this world.”
At this moment, the sun shines on them, as if covering them with a layer of golden light. Their plans for the future are clear and beautiful, and each one is filled with responsibility to their family and love for life.
As they discuss the future, they are well aware that it won't be smooth sailing. New competitors may arise along the family's path, business development may encounter obstacles and challenges, and their children's growth will present numerous temptations and challenges. But they remain undaunted, for they have walked hand in hand through the most difficult years of war, facing life and death together. That unwavering faith and deep bond will sustain them through all the trials and tribulations of the future.
In the hearts of Shen Qingchen and Jiang Zhi, family prosperity is more than just the accumulation of wealth and the rise of status; it's also a legacy and a sense of responsibility. They hope that the family spirit will be passed down from generation to generation, becoming a force for justice and warmth in the world. And their love will shine forever like a bright star through the ages, illuminating the path forward for everyone in the family.
Looking to the future, they are full of confidence and expectation, ready to write a new glorious chapter for their family with fearless courage and firm determination, and to protect everything they cherish most in their hearts.
