Shen Shurong talked about building a college, "I plan to hand over the entire Jia County to you to manage. Don't be modest. I know you have the ability."
Mo Chen was still hesitating, and Xie Yunzhao glared at him, giving him a good deal, "Why don't you thank the princess quickly?"
Just as Mo Chen was about to kneel, Shen Shurong raised his hand to support him: "Don't thank me, I should thank you. Jia County is very important. A negligence may cause floods in Linhuai and Huaihe."
"Opening a college, maintaining water transport, managing the river, and reviving people's livelihood are all extremely important. I don't feel comfortable leaving it to others."
The princess held him too high, and Mo Chen suddenly felt a heavy burden on his shoulders, and he clenched his fists.
"I know you have everything you need, but I think the people here need you, so they leave it to you."
Mo Chen no longer hesitated, and knelt down directly, taking on this heavy responsibility: "Mo Chen obeys the order."
"Thank you for your hard work, Young Master Ninth." Xie Yunzhao suddenly stopped being jealous. Mo Chen was smart, good at business, and well-educated. He was indeed suitable to stay here to govern Jia County.
In this way, his Rongrong will feel relaxed and can spend every day with him without worry.
Mo Chen said he dared not, and then left.
He was also happy in his heart because he could still keep in touch with her in the future.
The Ninth Young Master before coming to the Princess's Mansion became known as Master Mo Jiu when he went out.
In the second half of the month, Xie Yunzhao and Gu Kaizhi were busy training the navy. Both of them have now been given official titles, Xie Yunzhao as a sixth-rank general and Gu Kaizhi as a seventh-rank deputy general.
Before returning to Beijing, Xie Yunzhao accompanied Shen Shurong to inspect her territory again.
Jia County no longer allows people to settle down. Most of the current residents are refugees who once lost their homes. They are very satisfied with the current situation. Everyone has been allocated land and no longer has to go hungry.
Princess Yongjia became the person they were most grateful to, and wherever Shen Shurong went, he would be greeted with kowtows and thanks.
"Husband, this place is completely different from the first time we came here."
"It's all thanks to my wife, so they deserve to be thanked."
"It's the work of both of us."
Xie Yunzhao didn't care, as long as he was by her side.
"Is Gu Kaizhi willing to stay here?"
"He is my little brother now and listens to me in everything. I asked him to stay and lead the troops, and he was so happy that he couldn't wait."
When the two returned to Beijing, Gu Kaizhi was reluctant to part with his elder brother and rode a horse to see him off for a long distance.
"When you come back at the end of the year, everything will be arranged properly here."
"Yes, brother."
"Okay, don't send me off. You can't get into the carriage even if you follow me."
Gu Kaizhi's puppy eyes were filled with tears, and he wanted to stay with his elder brother.
He obediently stopped his horse, stopped and watched, and no longer followed.
Xie Yunzhao took the opportunity to dismount and got into the carriage, Rongrong, here I come, hehe...
…
When the two returned to the capital, the Duke of Lu planned a grand banquet, which was scheduled for three days later.
His eldest son has really made great progress now. He is already a sixth-rank general. If the navy grows stronger in the future or he wins a few battles, his official rank will surely be promoted, which is really a honor for him.
The couple called their son over and said they wanted to give him a lecture.
The Duchess looked at him and wiped her tears. She knew that the child she gave birth to would be fine.
Duke Lu patted his son on the shoulder and smiled: "As expected of the son of this duke, Yun Zhao has made his father proud this time."
Xie Yunzhao shook his head: "Dad, Mom, my son is able to achieve what he has today because he married the princess. If the princess hadn't insisted on shipping, my son wouldn't have had the chance."
"Yun Zhao is right. Since you got engaged to the princess, you have been much more steady." Duke Lu praised in agreement.
"I didn't expect that the princess, at such a young age, has such courage. She is even braver than the eldest princess." The eldest princess has never commanded a military force.
When the Duke's wife heard something fishy was said, she quietly tugged at her husband's sleeve.
But Duke Lu didn't take it seriously at all.
Immediately afterwards, the Duke's wife heard words that gave her a headache.
"So, father, mother, the princess is my son's benefactor, and also our family's benefactor."
The Duke's wife knew what her son was planning. Neither father nor mother dared to ask for it, and the other dared to give it.
She quickly covered Duke Lu's mouth and said, "Yes, the princess is indeed our noble lady. Mother asked someone to prepare the princess' favorite dishes to reward you well."
Xie Yunzhao curled his lips: "Mother is stingy."
The Duke's wife was embarrassed: "Mom gave you a lot of good things, your sister-in-law will be unhappy."
Xie Yunzhao refused to give in: "Dad, Mom is biased. Didn't Mom reward my eldest sister-in-law when she was pregnant?"
Without waiting for his mother to argue, Duke Lu made the decision and had two boxes of jewels sent to the princess, only then was he satisfied with sending his son away.
In the afternoon, Shen Shurong went to the palace to meet the emperor.
"Yongjia pays respect to the emperor's uncle." Shen Shurong bowed deeply.
The emperor looked at the soft and sweet little girl of the past, and saw that she could now accomplish such a big thing. He smiled self-deprecatingly, thinking that he was really old.
"Stand up and take a seat."
Chen Shurong didn’t sit down, but walked over to massage the emperor’s shoulders: “Yongjia came back this time and brought back a folk remedy that the emperor can use to apply to his shoulders.”
The emperor smiled and said, "You are so thoughtful. Tell me, what did you gain this time?"
"Uncle Huang, Yongjia has received many smiling faces. They should be doing well."
The emperor closed his eyes, his nose sour: "This way, I can feel more at ease a hundred years later."
"Don't worry, uncle. With the Crown Prince as regent, the Great Zhou will get better and better."
"His power is limited after all. I hope you can be of one mind as brothers and sisters."
Chen Shurong knew what he was worried about, and he should give him more reassurances: "Don't worry, Uncle Huang, Yongjia will do his best to help Brother Crown Prince wholeheartedly and govern the vast country of Great Zhou."
