The prince is five and a half years old, and he is reclaiming land and becoming a group favorite.

It wasn't until he returned to the mansion that Gu Yuzhi patted his chest vigorously with his little hands and said with a smile: "Oh, the people are so enthusiastic. It took me so long just to go back to the mansion."

He thought with a smile that he would write a letter to his mother and concubine about what happened today, so that her mother and concubine would know that he was very popular among the people in Mobei.

I also want to talk to the emperor about the people of Gyeongju.

He puffed up his face and wondered if he wanted to go to Qingzhou?

But he is so young, it seems like he can’t do anything if he goes...

Gu Yuzhi suddenly thought that the attack on him was concealed, so how did the people know that the complete closure of Liji Trading Company had anything to do with him?

He scratched his head, turned to look at Xie Changshi, and suddenly thought of what Xie Changshi said to Magistrate Huang when they were at the inn: "Mobei is the fiefdom of His Highness, and His Highness should be like this. You don't have to be like this. "

Then Magistrate Huang said that the people of Gyeongju will also remember his kindness.

He turned to look at Xie Changshi and walked backwards, jumping up and down: "Xie Changshi, Li Ji Trading Company was closed down and grain prices were lowered. Did you tell the people that it was me who did it?"

He scratched his head, feeling a little guilty!

Although it was indeed because of him that Li Ji Trading Company was closed down, it was also because he was robbed and killed.

Xie Changshi thought for a moment and said, "I have been accompanying His Highness in Xinliang some time ago. The person who did these things should be Chen Dianyi."

He lowered his eyes and saw that His Highness was looking at him with his head tilted, his big eyes blinking, as if he had something to say but was embarrassed to say it.

Xie Changshi was so soft-hearted by what he saw that he slowly knelt down and said, "Your Highness, what are you thinking about?"

Gu Yuzhi puffed up his face, scratched his head for a while and said, "I just feel that these things were not done by me. The people like me so much, but I don't seem worthy of their liking me so much."

After he spoke, his voice became much lower, his head hung down, with guilt and embarrassment.

Xie Changshi did not expect that His Highness would reflect on himself because of such a thing.

On the one hand, he felt very accomplished. His Highness was guided very well by them. Even after knowing his status in Mobei, he did not do anything bad.

On the one hand, he felt that His Highness was a bit too sensible.

Xie Changshi sighed softly, resisted the urge to touch his head, and said with a smile: "Why is it not worth it! Your Highness deserves the most love!"

Gu Yuzhi slowly raised his head, looking at Xie Changshi, his eyes gradually brightened: "Really?"

Xie Changshi nodded firmly and said: "Of course! The price of food for the people of Mobei has dropped, but your highness has sacrificed your life and safety to get it. Don't you think it's still worth it?"

Speaking of this, Gu Yuzhi's face couldn't help but look ugly, and his head dropped again: "It was also the guards who got it. The common people should also remember their names."

Huo Qiyuan happened to walk over. Hearing these words, he couldn't help but slow down and his heart was agitated.

Although His Highness is talking about the guards who died protecting him, shouldn't the names of those Mobei troops who protected Mobei and the Sang Dynasty be remembered by the people?

But as soon as this thought came up, he forced it back.

In a real war, tens of thousands of people died. How could the people remember it?

What's more, he even heard more than one common person say that this kind of thing should have been done by people like him... Thinking of this, Huo Qiyuan's face darkened. He shouldn't think so much.

Gu Yuzhi didn't notice Huo Qiyuan's arrival at all, and was concentrating on what Shu Xiaohan said: "My young prince, have you ever thought about building a martyrs' cemetery?"

Anyway, Xinliang is so big that there are many places where cultivation cannot be done according to the current agricultural level. It is better to open up an area and build a martyrs cemetery.

The more Shu Xiaohan thought about it, the more she thought this was a good idea. Her eyes sparkled slightly as she thought of the modern martyrs' cemeteries. She carefully explained the significance of the martyrs' cemeteries to Gu Yuzhi: "It's not just the guards who protected the young prince this time. , and the soldiers on the battlefield.”

"The war was cruel, and tens of thousands of soldiers died. Apart from their families and people in the army, who still remembers their names? But they sacrificed their lives to protect the country, and their names should be remembered by the people."

"Especially in the Mobei border area, wars may happen at any time. We established the Martyrs Cemetery not only to let the current people remember the names of the martyrs, but also to let the children know that life is not easy."

Gu Yuzhi raised his eyes and looked at her, feeling a little uncomfortable. He touched his chest unconsciously with his little hand. After a while, he said: "But, I heard Marshal Huo say that the bodies of the soldiers who died were buried nearby. How can we build a cemetery?" ah?"

Shu Xiaohan forced a faint smile: "The Cenotaph."

Wen Xiuzhu, who had been silent, rolled his eyes and reminded: "Identity tag."

ID tag?

Gu Yuzhi scratched his head and quickly remembered what Marshal Huo had said to him before.

Everyone in the army has ID tags. In fact, this is largely to facilitate the identification of corpses after sacrifice...

If that's the case, it seems pretty good.

He hoped that the sacrificed guards and soldiers would be liked by the people.

Gu Yuzhi's eyebrows were almost wrinkled, and his index finger was twirling around, glancing at Xie Changshi from time to time, but thinking about it, he didn't know how to speak.

When Xie Changshi saw this, the smile on his face became more sincere: "What do you think, Your Highness?"

After getting along with him for more than a year, Xie Changshi naturally knew that every time His Highness showed such a tangled expression, it meant that he had some new ideas to say.

Gu Yuzhi raised his eyes and glanced at him, then considered: "Xie Changshi, can we build a martyrs cemetery?"

Seeing that Xie Changshi was puzzled, he explained: "That's it..."

He scratched his head: "I think the Xinliang Iron Mine has collapsed and we can't grow anything. Why don't we encircle that area and build a martyrs cemetery."

"Erect a tomb for each of the sacrificed guards, and the reason for their sacrifice should be engraved on the tombstone, so that the people can worship in a unified way."

"There are also the soldiers who died in the Mobei Army." He pouted, and his tone became a little depressed, "Mr. Huo told me before that the soldiers who died would be buried on the spot and their identity tags would be taken away. , sent back to their hometowns.”

"But I think if their identity cards are in the Martyrs Cemetery, more people will remember them."

Gu Yuzhi secretly thought that they were all good people. Maybe if more people remembered them, they would become souls like Teacher Shu and Shopkeeper Wen...
