Chapter 216 Finale
The situation in the Yuan Dynasty changed rapidly. Prince Ping was gone, but many of his followers were still lurking in the capital.

These people have various identities and there are many of them. They often stir up trouble or brainwash people around them.

"That classmate Zhang is simply insane. It is obvious that Prince Ping is the biggest contributor to the natural and man-made disasters in various places, but he insists on saying that it was caused by the Crown Prince's misconduct.

What kind of Buddhist is killing a decent girl? Even God cannot bear to see it. When did the prince kill a girl? My sister is not dead yet!"

Song Xiaosi, the little bookish boy, was so angry that he slammed the table loudly and his face turned red.

Song Xiaoliu was stunned. Is this fourth brother stupid? "Why do you have to take it personally?" No one mentioned anyone by name, but the second brother started fighting with them like a fool.

The other party even shouted at him arrogantly: Are you cheap? Your sister was abused and you are still complacent. You ignore family affection for the sake of wealth and honor, and insist on saying good things about the prince. Are you afraid of death? !

The boy on the other side was very powerful. He was fifteen or sixteen years old and was studying at the same level as the eleven-year-old Song Qing'an, but he could not beat Song Qing'an. As soon as he turned around and walked out of the academy, he was arrested by the people from the yamen.

Although the Yuan Dynasty had freedom of speech, that was not a reason for you to curse the emperor. If you were charged with this crime, would you still need to study hard? Anyway, you would not be able to take the imperial examinations in the future unless the dynasty changed.

Is it necessary to argue with such a fool?

How could Song Qing'an not understand the look in Song Xiaoliu's eyes? He raised his hand and twitched, "Just stand there and let people point fingers at you and blame you. Will you take action directly?!"

Many times, it's not that you are great just because you have a quick brain, okay? Don't understand? It's right that you don't understand. Who made him lack experience? Song Xiaosi's eyes were full of contempt.
Then the next day, Song Xiaoliu also returned home with a bruised and swollen face.

"Hahaha~ What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you, Xiaoliu? Weren't you quite capable yesterday? You can't beat them now, right?"

Song Xiaosi was so happy that he almost died. At least he could pin down a big guy and beat him up. But Song Xiaoliu was the one being beaten up, right? Hahaha~ I was almost dying of laughter.

Unexpectedly, Song Xiaoliu said calmly, "I can fight many against one." How can this be compared?

In the main room, since Father Song left Beijing, the children have come to accompany their mother whenever they have time. Song Qingwan is no exception. When she is not out, she moves all her work to the main room.

Look, I just happened to witness that the two brothers had their own gains in the past two days.

Song Qingwan put down her pen and prepared to eat. Only then did she have time to look at the two brothers carefully.

"Is it so serious? What happened today?" If it could make Song Xiaoliu take action, then the matter must be serious.

"Nothing." Song Xiaoliu didn't want to say it, for fear of polluting his sister's ears.

"Do you have to do it yourself?" Song Qingya took the ointment and applied it to Song Xiaoliu, her eyes full of heartache. This little brother is only five years old, how pitiful it is to be beaten.

"My hands are itchy." Song Xiaoliu said sullenly. The corners of his mouth were swollen and painful, making it difficult for him to speak.

"Is it better to have an itchy hand or a sore hand?" Can't choose? You're not good at math.

"My hand hurts, but my heart doesn't hurt anymore."

After hearing this, Song Qingya applied some force to the hand that was applying the medicine, "Does it hurt? Huh? Don't you know how to take care of yourself? You deserve to be in pain."

What if he was seriously injured? Song Qingya was terrified.

This time, Song Xiaoliu really cried. No matter how smart he was, he was just a five-year-old child. He felt very wronged. "Who asked them to insult my sister? They said that my elder sister was not a faithful wife and that she was not pregnant with the prince's child at all.

He also said that his sister had taken in the eldest princess's men's brothel and learned to raise male slaves like the eldest princess, and that her children were raised by the male slaves.

She also said that the second sister was not a good student, and had already hooked up with Prince Chu before she even reached the age of marriage, and that all the sisters in the family were foxy."

These words made Song Qingfang's hand that was supporting her cheek collapse, and her face almost fell off.

Did she just sit there and get caught in the crossfire? She didn't hook up with a man, how could a man smell like delicious food? But, "Fox charm is also a skill, Xiaoliu, you are too modest."

Song Xiaoliu was dumbfounded. Was he wasting his expression? Was this not a big deal? It seemed like it was not a big deal.

He rolled up his sleeves and stopped crying. How many years had he not cried? Oh, yes, he had only lived for five years, so he was not very old. It would be good to clear his eyes today.

"It's all hearsay. Some people don't have reliable sources of information, so they just believe everything they hear.

The most important thing is that the dynasty allowed them to deliberately spread bad ideas, and the people had no confidence in the emperor, which made it easy for something to go wrong.

If Prince Ping were to attack the capital, perhaps the people in the city would open the gates for him."

Song Qingping, who has become more sensible, begins to understand the concern for the country and the people. He truly feels the change in attitude of his classmates. These are students. If they do not have confidence in the current court and their will is not firm, they can be easily taken advantage of.

"Then let everyone know how Prince Ping fought against the Crown Prince, and inform everyone of the disasters in various places that Prince Ping provoked."

If they knew the true identity of King Ping and still followed him, they would be considered traitors to the people, and the imperial court would definitely take action to deal with them.

"This is easier said than done. You can't argue with people every day just by talking. Besides, the cost is a bit high. Here~" Song Qingping pursed his lips and pointed at his two silly brothers.

"The court's notice was also posted at the city gate, and some people read it, but it was still spread around. Most people are illiterate."

The court is busy with many things right now and cannot spare many people to deal with these matters. Maybe for the people in higher positions, rumors are not a big deal and no one takes them seriously.

"Then we can start a newspaper company and print newspapers in the form of comics, mainly with pictures and a few words for explanation, so that even illiterate people can understand them.

We will publish the national affairs section on the front and the entertainment section on the back. I will ask the emperor for his opinion. If he allows it, we will do it and sell the newspaper for two cents.

If it becomes popular, you can also charge merchants for advertising, such as who is offering discounts on the opening of a shop tomorrow, who has a house for rent
You can think about the Qingping matter now, and see if there is anything that needs to be published in the newspaper and announced to everyone."

Song Qingwan naturally drew the blueprints of the printing press and asked the Seiko Factory to manufacture it tomorrow. In the future, she could also sell the printing press or accept the printing of books, which would be a good business.

Ah? Is it still like this? Song Qingwan really thinks of business in everything. She should be very rich now, right? She is still working so hard. So, raising a royal child is really expensive.

The next day, after Song Qingwan got up, she finished the work at hand and then brought the newspaper template into the palace. The printing press drawings had also been sent to the Jing Factory for Hua Lao and others to arrange for its manufacturing.

When Song Qingwan arrived at the palace, the emperor had just finished his court session. They had lunch in the queen's hall and then finalized the newspaper matter.

Of course the emperor agreed. If books could be printed, the cost of reading would be greatly reduced, and the Yuan Dynasty could cultivate more talents. In just a few days, ten iron-wood color printing machines were made. As long as the pigment was loaded and shaken, a newspaper could be printed. After drying, it was printed on both sides, and then cut and bound for distribution.

The newspaper published on the first day reported on the court affairs, especially the evil deeds done by King Ping.
The other side is the entertainment version. Song Qingwan adapted the story of her two younger brothers being beaten into a fable, letting some people know the fate and consequences of being exploited.

The first time, 10,000 copies of the newspaper were published, and 2,000 copies were sent to the court. Almost every adult received one, so that they could use it as a collection.

The rest were distributed for free in the streets and alleys. From then on, everyone in the capital knew about the Yuan Dynasty and the evil deeds committed by King Ping.

The wind direction suddenly changed, and the people began to curse King Ping. From then on, King Ping lost the support of the people, making the order in the capital more stable.

Seeing the good results, the imperial court sent newspapers from the capital to various places by express horses.

For a time, Seikan's printing business and printing machines were extremely popular.

King Ping's secret tricks were cracked one by one by Song Qingwan's novel methods.

In the war, he was suppressed by the prince and suffered repeated defeats. Li Minghe was gradually closing in his net, and Prince Ping was forced into a trap. In addition, his reputation was ruined, so he decided to throw the jar into the pot.

King Ping concentrated his forces to attack the capital city, and then colluded with the State of Luo to allow the enemy to enter the pass.

The Luo Kingdom suffered a severe snowstorm, which even ate a lot of their mounts, the bears. Finally, as soon as the ice and snow melted, the fighting nation, which had been hungry for a whole winter, began to invade and rob other countries.

In particular, the Yuan Dynasty, which was closest to them, was the main target of the Luo State. With the pass deliberately opened by King Ping, the Luo State's Bear Cavalry invaded on a large scale and captured ten cities of the Yuan Dynasty in a short period of time with unstoppable force.

However, they did not gain much, because there was also a snowstorm on the border of the Yuan Dynasty, and a large number of refugees entered the capital, and there was not much left to rob in those places.

The enemy is coming with great force and invading the territory of the Yuan Dynasty on a large scale. The front line is in crisis!
At this critical moment of the country's life and death, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, as the crown prince, will lead the main force to rush to the battlefield without hesitation.

They will carry the expectations of the country and the people and engage in a thrilling life-and-death struggle with the enemy!

Bah, actually this was all designed by Li Minghe.

But, "Your Highness, is it really okay for Prince Ping to attack the capital? The road he must pass through is exactly where the flood is discharged, and Lord Song is building a water conservancy project there."

Of course, Song Dad's team had already diverted the flood water into larger rivers. Logically, he should have returned to Beijing for promotion long ago.

But after the water was diverted, a new problem arose. The water level of another river rose, allowing the highlands along the way to be irrigated and turned into fertile fields.

The Minister of Works waved his hand and ordered the team to continue building water conservancy projects and to open up more fertile fields. As a result, Father Song was unable to return home for a long time.

If Prince Ping's army passes through there now, not only will the fertile fields be destroyed, but he might also capture Song's father and torture him, and threaten Song Qingwan and the crown prince.

Does the prince really not care about his future father-in-law?
Li Minghe chuckled, as if everything was under his control. "Why are you in such a hurry? The Yuan Dynasty has a lot of talented people. Whether it's merit or reputation, I can't let one person make enough. A court can't have only one hero."

Checks and balances are needed at all times. If he is asked to do everything by himself, and food is wasted to feed a bunch of good-for-nothings, does he look like a fool?
Besides, there are too many people who need credit, such as the Song family~
Sure enough, when the Song family heard that King Ping’s army was about to attack the place where Song’s father was doing construction work, they became very anxious.

"I'm going to apply to go to the front line now, mother~" Song Qingchi and his brothers were still more interested in fighting and killing. The Imperial City Division could not meet their needs at all, and promotion was slow.

The most important thing is that this is a good opportunity to win merit. If they miss it, they have a premonition that there may not be another war in the Yuan Dynasty for another 10 to 20 years, and they may have to wander the streets and be patrol guards for the rest of their lives.

Oh, and also, Second Uncle must be well protected. The Second Branch is the backbone of the entire Song family, and nothing can be done to the Bone Master.

I’m just afraid that I can’t get through this hurdle.

Who would have thought that after going through so much, Aunt Song had become indifferent to it now. She waved her hand calmly and said, "Go, and be sure to send your second uncle back safely."

"Oh." With a look of suspicion on their faces, the two brothers followed the King of Chu's army the next day and went to the front line with Chu Changsheng to stop King Ping from entering the capital.

The two of them have to protect their second uncle, while Chu Changsheng has to protect his father-in-law.

The young man who had been in a wheelchair for many years stood up again, dressed in fine clothes, riding a horse and wielding a spear, and turned back into the young general who was once high-spirited and vigorous. "Wait for me to return victoriously, and I will marry you, with a phoenix crown and a bridal gown, and a ten-mile long red dress."

Song Qingya stood there with a dignified attitude, watching everyone leave. After hearing this, she nodded with a firm look.

The Song Qingyue brothers looked at each other. They couldn't stand seeing Chu Changsheng being so carefree, so they raised their swords and slapped his horse's butt. The horse felt pain and suddenly jumped out with Chu Changsheng on its back.

"Haha~" For a moment, wanton laughter spread, and the tense atmosphere finally relaxed a little.

Song Qingwan did not have time to see him off as she had a lot of things to do in her factory, and she had a hunch that Prince Ping would not be so simple-minded. Those people who had caused trouble in the capital were now lurking somewhere.

She asked Canary to keep an eye on the movements within a hundred miles of the capital, and sure enough, it wasn't long before she discovered some people secretly gathering together, preparing to join forces with King Ping.

Unfortunately, they ran into Song Qingwan, so they were taken down by the Emperor's Yulin Guards just as they started the rebellion. At the same time, they took the opportunity to clean up many of Prince Ping's secret estates.

People were beheaded in Wumen Square every day, and the blood on the ground never dried, which made people panic.

So, why rebel when there is nothing to do? Aren't ordinary days beautiful? The price of greed is rivers of blood.

King Ping was defeated not long after, and was shot to death by his generals on the battlefield, dying with his eyes open.

The Luo army was defeated repeatedly by the Yuan Dynasty's advanced cavalry, powerful military formations, and highly destructive explosives. They withdrew from the Yuan Dynasty's ten cities and retreated from the battlefield.

The Yuan cavalry pursued the victory with unstoppable force, broke into the Luo Kingdom, captured thirty cities in a row, and seized resources.

With the pressure from its neighboring country Daxia, Luo State suffered heavy losses and quickly accepted the letter of surrender.

After the death of the prince of Luo, Li Minghe finally agreed to stop after receiving a sum of gold, silver, jewelry and thirty cities from Luo.

His target was actually those thirty mountains, because they were rich in minerals, including the oil that Song Qingwan was interested in.
It is the golden autumn of October, with abundant fruits and golden fields everywhere. It is a season of harvest, and the armies of the Crown Prince and the King of Chu are about to return triumphantly after a long journey and fierce battles.

Song Qingwan was pregnant, so she didn't join in the fun. Heroes are welcome, and there are plenty of people to welcome them.
