Unlike the title of a county lord who had no official title, this time, after being promoted, she was given the title of Princess Xiangyun, which is a good omen.
Jiang Yue rubbed her sore head, thinking to herself, "Getting promoted isn't easy. The official robes are even heavier now."
Grandpa and Grandma, on the other hand, seemed very happy.
He kept flipping through the imperial edict, looking at the official robes she had taken off again and again.
The elderly couple used to wonder which unknown mountain valley their granddaughter might be living in. Perhaps they said it was true so as not to worry them.
Now, they believe it.
My granddaughter is really capable. Not only does she have a family business, but she has also received opportunities that many people wouldn't even dare to dream of.
Just think about how my granddaughter went from being a village lady to a county lady, and now a county princess. How much merit and how many life-and-death trials must she have endured to achieve this?
Thinking about it this way, my own grandson doesn't seem quite right.
What are you looking at? Your sister is already a princess. Look at you, you're useless at everything except eating!
Poor Gu Liulang, before he could even figure out what was going on, was sent to the school by his grandparents to supervise the construction!
When the topic of schools came up, the couple discussed it and asked their granddaughter if she was interested in opening a traditional Chinese medicine class. He could teach traditional Chinese medicine, and his wife could teach pastry making or something similar. In any case, they wanted to teach the children some skills so that they would have something to rely on when they grew up and could make a better living.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yue thought about it and felt it was a good idea.
My maternal grandfather's medical skills were enough to open a class, with a three- to six-year curriculum.
My grandmother used to love making all kinds of noodles and researching food.
Let's set up a crash course, an adult course, regardless of age, where students can learn for one to three months and graduate. This could improve the food we eat these days and increase our sense of well-being.
After a moment's thought, he readily agreed.
Next, everyone performed their duties, and the entire Princess's mansion became busy.
More than two months later—
The infrastructure construction of Yunshui County has been completed.
The outer city walls were reinforced, and watchtowers were added.
Outside the city was a moat five zhang wide and six chi deep, and there was a drawbridge over the city gate.
People usually travel between the county and the city via the suspension bridge.
The soldiers guarding the city were rigorously selected and uniformly trained.
They all came from poor families, and they had no arrogance, only loyalty and courage after being appreciated.
They have a strict promotion system, a stable salary, and a canteen that provides meals, with meat slices available for all three meals a day!
Moreover, once someone gets a government job, their whole family benefits.
If any family member falls ill, they can use their token to go to the Princess's residence for medical treatment.
Their princess specially set up a medical clinic.
The families of soldiers in the city are all provided free of charge; medical expenses and consultation fees are all waived!
Residents of both the city and the city can leave their household registration and name information, and the certificate will be issued free of charge or at a small fee, depending on the circumstances.
Orphans and widows exchange their labor for medicine!
Overall, it benefits the people of Yunshui County and the eight townships within its jurisdiction.
Moreover, this kind-hearted princess exempted the people of Yunshui County from taxes for three years, allowing them to live and work in peace and recuperate.
I heard that the princess is building a school, and children from both rich and poor families, regardless of gender, can enter and study as long as they pass the exam!
The school's admission brochure, along with the subjects, schedule, and even recruitment notice, are all posted on the city wall. If you're interested and meet the requirements, go check it out!
Many people passing by the city gate will see a monument erected in the square in the center.
Curious onlookers circled the merit stele, and some literate people explained to them that these were merchants and noble families from Yunshui County who had donated vast amounts of goods to the county. They were good and virtuous people, and the county lord had ordered the stele to be erected, recording the donations of those who reached a certain amount so that future generations would admire them.
During this process, there were also merchants and caravans from outside the area. Word spread quickly, leading to a surge of donations of supplies to Yunshui County from all directions...
When Manager Qian later reported this, the corners of his mouth were practically turned up in a smile.
Jiang Yue simply laughed it off, noting that many of them were just seeking fame and fortune, hoping to be remembered for generations to come.
But dynasties rise and fall, and time passes; even the most prosperous things eventually fade away.
She can't control the future, she can only make the most of the present.
Qingyao has been getting very close to her maternal great-grandfather lately. The two of them, one old and one young, often discuss medical books.
Grandpa Gu was very pleased. His great-granddaughter was so talented at such a young age.
He's much more capable than his grandson, so he's completely given up on teaching his adopted grandson to medicine.
She wished she could pass on everything she knew to her great-granddaughter.
Qingyao didn't find learning difficult; on the contrary, she found answers to things she didn't understand or know how to do before with her maternal grandfather.
So, the elder my mother mentioned who happened to receive medical books from her was actually my maternal great-grandfather!
An old man and a young man worked tirelessly, forgetting to eat or sleep, on medical case studies—or rather, lesson plans.
Yes, that's right. Jiang Yue promised her grandfather that once the school opened, she would hire him to teach and recruit students who wanted to study medicine.
The镖师's mission was coming to an end, and Jiang Yue wrote a letter to the chief镖师, asking them to take it back to the镖局 (镖局 is a type of security escort agency in China).
The remaining balance will be paid in double.
Aunt Ge and her people prepared provisions, water bags, horse-drawn carts, and other supplies properly...
After spending more than two months together, some of these young bodyguards found girls they liked, some were reluctant to leave the food at the princess's mansion, and some developed a different kind of affection for the rebuilt Yunshui County.
After a reluctant farewell, the bodyguards left Yunshui County.
"Princess, I'm a little reluctant to part with these young men."
"Um?"
"They are very good people, and they did a lot of things quietly during their time at the Princess's residence."
"Princess, do you think they will come back?"
"Yeah, I think so."
Jiang Yue believed that they would return soon...
In mid-April, when the spring breeze was gentle, Qingshan arrived in Yunshui County with his family in three horse-drawn carriages.
Looking at the colossal project before him, Qingshan thought, "Only his mother could have completed such a magnificent building."
"Travel permit".
How many people?
"Where did it come from?"
During the routine check, Qingshan helped his wife and daughter out of the car, and then went to help his grandparents.
After the reply, the guards' expressions changed drastically. They respectfully ordered their men to welcome the distinguished guest into the county and take him to the county princess's residence.
Thank you!
Aoyama politely thanked him and did not use his status to make things difficult for the ordinary soldiers.
After the carriages had all left, someone asked the soldier who the people who had just been allowed to pass were.
The soldier said very respectfully that they were family members of the princess.
The crowd stared in disbelief in the direction the carriage had gone, and someone muttered to themselves:
"Since they are the princess's relatives, why are they queuing with us?"
"It seems this princess is indeed as the legends say—approachable and down-to-earth."
"Not only is the princess approachable, but her family is too!"
"Yunshui County, the good days have truly arrived!"
