Quick wear: She has turned over the big guys from all walks of life

Chapter 1329 Famine and Natural Disaster 488

Even if they lived like ordinary people, Zhou Ting would not feel so uncomfortable.

Mingyi didn't tell him how these retired soldiers looked when they first met, for fear that he would feel even worse if she told him; when they first met, they were truly poor and destitute, living worse than beggars.

Beggars know how to beg. They would rather beg for food in the mountains than trouble others.

They went to the woolen mill again. Only some of the people were retired soldiers, and the common people who could not bear to work came to express their gratitude. When they came out of the woolen mill, it was almost dark and they had no time to eat lunch.

After rushing for a long time, the carriage returned to the palace before dark, and Zhou Ting took Mingyi to Fufengyuan.

Fan Qingzhi was stunned for a moment when he saw them coming back so quickly, and then asked, "Why did you take so long?"

"Teacher, the students have visited both workshops." Zhou Ting calmed down a little, but a little redness was still visible in his eyes.

Fan Qingzhi walked to the table and sat down, taking a close look at Zhou Ting's current appearance. "We should go and take a look. What do you think?"

"The students didn't do their job well. If it weren't for you and Yiyi, the students wouldn't have noticed the real situation of the retired soldiers for many years to come." It's speculated that they would have a hard time, but it's even more heartbreaking not to see it firsthand. "Many of them have difficulty moving around and can't make a living like normal people. Some of them have lost their arms. When they go out to work, they not only have to face the cold stares and drive away from others, but also have to endure the contempt and disdain from people they know."

"They are not only suffering physically, but also mentally. Fortunately, Mingyi strongly advocated her plan, and I also thought it was feasible, and the teacher also supported it. Otherwise, many of them might not be able to make it through the New Year."

On the way back, Zhou Ting felt mixed emotions, as if he had spilled all the oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.

"Are they doing well now?" Fan Qingzhi remained calm and composed, his expression unchanged.

Zhou Ting nodded, "It looks good. Yi Yi is willing to make a profit for them, so she will not let them live a bad life. I saw that they were wearing clean new clothes and their faces were plump, but there was still some sadness and haggardness left over from the past."

It is not something that can be changed in a short time. Even if they have a good life for a while, it is impossible to change their appearance in a short time. How can the appearance accumulated from years of suffering be improved in a short time? It takes years of subtle influence to change.

"They will understand the difficulties faced by Prince Zhou's Palace. The Palace has to defend against foreign enemies every year, and the expenses are huge. They know this and will not blame Prince Zhou's Palace. You can relax. In the future, you and Mingyi will let them live a stable life. This is enough. Look forward and don't look back." What Fan Qingzhi said was what he thought in his heart.

Immersing yourself in the past is the most undesirable behavior. You can reflect and repent, but you cannot indulge in it.

"Teacher, I understand. It will be fine after this." Emotions came and went, and when he adjusted himself, he was once again the spirited head of the Zhou Palace.

Fan Qingzhi nodded with relief, "It's good that you can do this, don't think about it; Tongshu, let Butler Luo serve the food, eat early and go to bed early, you need to have a good rest after a tiring day."

Considering the hard work, Fan Qingzhi instructed the child outside the door.

Tong Shu took the order and left.

A quarter of an hour later, Butler Luo and Tong Shu led their servants to serve the delicious dishes, and the three of them gathered around the table and took a few bites.

Fan Qingzhi was not hungry after lunch and ate little; Zhou Ting could not eat and Mingyi did not want to eat, so the meal was finished in a hurry.

As soon as they left, Fan Qingzhi said to Tong Shu, "Human beings! You have to experience everything to be complete. If you lack any one thing, you will be incomplete."

  A confused children's book:.

I understood it, but it seemed like I didn't understand it. During the half month in Fucheng, Zhou Ting, who had rarely relaxed, became busy again; after seeing the disabled veterans and listening to their oral accounts of their experiences after retirement, he found that he was not only responsible for the affairs of the Northwest Army camp and the political affairs of the entire Northwest.

As a king, he could only see what was in front of him, and he did not understand the real needs of the people.

Mingyi saw Zhou Ting busy all the time, so she also found something to do for herself; the two of them were so busy that they could not be seen, and the most idle person in the entire Zhou Palace became Fan Qingzhi.

Although he is said to be free, in fact, he just has relatively more free time, that's all.

After the first month of the year, Zhou Ting returned to the military camp and summoned all the generals to gather in the main tent.

"Commander, what do you want to tell me?" After everyone greeted each other, General Huaihua spoke first.

"Do you know about the changes in Fucheng now?" Zhou Ting asked expressionlessly while sitting in the upper seat.

General Huaihua frowned, "Fucheng has changed a lot, and the lives of the people have become much better. I heard that it was Miss Cheng who took the lead in building two workshops and recruited the people to work, which significantly improved the lives of the people."

"I have heard of it too." General Wu Lue and others seconded the idea.

Zhou Ting sighed quietly, knowing that this was the case; before he saw those disabled soldiers, it was the same! He had a little understanding of the changes in Fucheng, but he did not choose to learn more. Even the plan he and Mingyi agreed on was just talk on paper. After experiencing it personally, he saw the changes in everyone, as well as their loyalty and confidence in Zhou Wangfu; whenever they talked about Zhou Wangfu, the workers in the two workshops all smiled, and their words revealed subconscious trust.

He is far inferior to Mingyi.

"I have personally seen the changes in Fucheng and was deeply touched."

  General Huaihua, General Zhongwu and others looked at each other in confusion. What did this mean?

Zhou Ting didn't expect them to understand. "The camp is fine for now. Please ask General Huaihua to manage the camp. I will take General Zhongwu, General Wulue, and General Wuyi, and 20,000 soldiers back to Fucheng."

"Coach."

General Huaihua didn't understand what was going on.

"No need to say more, just implement the formulated policies and let the soldiers be of one mind with the people. I will take people back to help. Teacher and Miss Cheng will continue to reform the economy of Fucheng. There are not many things to do in the army. If you have any questions, report to me." After saying that, he brought the teacup to see the guest off.

General Huaihua opened his mouth to speak, but seeing the commander's firm expression, he swallowed the words back.

  The coach doesn’t need to go back to help, right?

Zhou Ting left behind three generals: General Zhongwu, General Wulue, and General Wuyi. He "selected 20,000 soldiers, who must be strong, hardworking, and able to work. One-third of the staff from the cook camp will accompany the army."

"Here."

The three men came out of the tent and immediately deployed their troops. The people they brought with them were basically the people they had on hand; with three generals, it was easy for them to select 20,000 people.

General Huaihua and several other generals silently saw them off from the barracks.

There was no fighting in the army. General Huaihua was in charge of military affairs. The soldiers continued to train every day. Zhou Ting led his men to carry out infrastructure construction in Fucheng. They had basically discussed the plan and built two commercial streets outside Fucheng.
