437 Each person's ideal II
Now that Dalong Prefecture has taken over, it should act according to its own will. If it is stubborn and refuses to leave, then it is waiting for an opportunity to act.
So it's a matter of seeing whether the knife is faster or you are harder.
He sighed softly, "General Guan, you've worked hard."
Captain Guan laughed heartily and said in a deep voice, "This is nothing. We rough men, sword in hand, on horseback, will die on the battlefield. It's all about speed and efficiency."
These trivial matters are a real headache, but there haven't been many lately. The disobedient and troublesome ones are thrown in for a few days of training and farm work. When they get tired, they naturally stop worrying about these messy little things.
That's simple enough.
Yun Heiyi nodded in agreement, saying, "The outside world is different from the royal city; it's not as complicated, and it's simple and comfortable."
Captain Guan gently patted his horse, praising the young master, "General Yun is absolutely right. With you leading the way, things will be simple and clear for us." The others dared not say anything more.
Yun Heiyi nodded. Fang Lin remained silent, his hand trembling slightly as he grilled the meat. He thought to himself, 'The general really knows how to talk.'
In the early morning, Gui San obediently let Shuangshuang tidy his clothes, stretching out his hands and feet, and cooperated well.
After washing up, Gui San said softly, "Shuang'er, how about we go for a walk together?"
Upon hearing this, Shuangshuang's eyes lit up with joy, but she hesitated slightly before asking, "Don't we need to pay our respects to the master today?"
Gui San smiled and said, "No rush, there's still plenty of time. I spoke with Butler Jin yesterday, and if you're free today, he'll have someone notify me."
Yesterday, the adults were busy all day, slaying monsters. They must be exhausted.
Besides, I heard that things aren't urgent anymore after yesterday. Would you mind accompanying Shuang'er for a stroll?
"Okay," they both replied happily.
Stepping out of the inn, the sun was already rising, and the market was already bustling with activity.
Some carried heavy loads of ordinary fresh medicinal herbs, while others drove horse-drawn carts loaded with goods, including grain and mountain products. Still others carried baskets filled with freshly picked fruits and persimmons.
The streets are filled with the fresh scents of fruits and vegetables, the aroma of steaming snacks, and the fragrance of various flowers. The air is thick with the aromas of pancakes, dumplings, and steamed buns.
The children, carrying backpacks of similar color and style, skipped and hopped to school together.
Shuang'er looked at the dozen or so boys and girls, dressed simply in hemp clothes and thick coats, but with rosy, flushed faces, like bamboo shoots just emerging from the ground.
Their eyes were bright as stars, revealing their inner joy and vitality. You could also feel their boundless energy and vigor, as well as their expectations for life.
His eyes were glazed over, and his eye sockets were slightly red.
Gui San gently took Shuang'er's hand and whispered, "What's wrong?"
Shuang'er whispered, "No, some dust just blew into my eyes."
Then she smiled and said, "They are truly happy."
Gui San said softly, "Yes, if Shuang'er likes it, how about we have one too?"
Shuang'er blushed crimson to her ears, nodded slightly, and ran ahead, "There's a vendor selling glutinous rice balls over here! Come and see, they're sesame glutinous rice balls!"
The arrival of morning is beyond human control; whether people like it or not, it will always arrive quietly.
Sunlight streamed in, and a resolute glint appeared in the eldest prince's eyes. The imperial family is the most ruthless place.
Sitting in this position always brings some discomfort.
The shocking events at the Demon Slayer Bureau last night have likely spread to various places by now. As for whether a large number of people have actually deserted, that remains to be seen.
However, the changes at the Demon Slayer Bureau were another major blow to him. He recalled how he had followed his aunt for a time. After his aunt went into seclusion, he needed to study and cultivate.
Memories are always hard to forget, and now that we haven't seen each other for a long time, our reunion today is another scene I didn't want to see.
A ray of sunlight entered my eyes; it was dawn.
She asked softly, "Uncle Qian, you've worked so hard. Let's have some breakfast together."
Someone, prepare two servings.
"Yes." The young eunuch quickly responded and ran out.
Looking at the recovered Crown Prince, Uncle Qian smiled slightly and said softly, "Thank you, Your Highness."
The eldest prince said softly, "I haven't thanked Uncle Qian for keeping me company all night yet."
She smiled slowly and said, "The change of the Demon Slayer Bureau is in line with the trend. If it is not feasible, then change is necessary. Aunt has this intention and this ability. It is truly a great thing for our royal city."
Besides, I'm not the one who's anxious; there are people who are even more anxious than me.
"The Chen, the Lu, and the Wu family—none of them are in a hurry. Only if Aunt can resolve these deep-seated problems can our dynasty prosper."
In the small hall, although there was a round table and a stove, Jingzhai couldn't help but feel a chill at this moment, as if she still preferred to sit in a warm embrace and eat gently, which was more fragrant.
Or perhaps it's more intimate and enjoyable to savor it together in quiet laughter and whispers.
The sun hangs high in the sky, its light gentle and beautiful.
She wore a loose robe and a light veil over her face, not wanting others to see her changes; her transformation belonged only to herself.
Granny Hong approached softly and whispered, "The message has been relayed. I estimate quite a few people have left; it's understandable that some are elderly."
Jingzhai nodded slightly, "From now on, the Demon Slaying Division will be divided into two parts, the light and the dark. The composition of the personnel will also need to be more carefully assessed, and resources will need to be allocated to their training."
Better to have none than to have something of poor quality. Local families should shoulder their responsibilities, rather than having our Demon Slayer Division clean them all up.
Since the emperor and the noble families are ruling together, they should also contribute their manpower and resources.
Those who collect taxes should bear their own responsibilities.
"Yes." Grandma Hong nodded gently, silently for a few moments.
Then he whispered back, "Miss, recently the Pill Hall has been making excuses, saying that the price of medicinal herbs has increased, and therefore the price of pills will also increase."
Jingzhai nodded slightly. "The elixir tradition has a long history and is connected to many powerful figures, making the relationships complex. Now that the Holy Emperor is not here, it's normal for them to have some thoughts. There's no need to worry about it."
Just provide the pills as usual. Besides, I'll ask around later. Although there are some differences between pills and medicinal liquids, the effects are not that significant.
As for high-grade pills, the materials are rare, which is normal. More manpower will be needed to refine them in the future.
Granny Hong nodded and pondered, "The Pill Hall has been passed down for many years and will naturally not be separated, but there are many factions within it. Some elders are focused on refining pills and are unwilling to participate in this extra worldly affairs."
However, the internal factions are complex, and if we get involved, it will probably cause more complications.
Elder Hua was injured while refining pills some time ago, and his cultivation has declined, so his lifespan may be nearing its end. Many people have shown interest in him, but his daughter and son are still too young.
