Chapter 403 Heart to Heart
But it would be much more convenient if there were "unrelated" people to do these things.
"Your villa uses most of the retired soldiers. Is it for them? Why? Wouldn't it be better to buy some ordinary servants? It seems that you didn't sign a contract to sell these soldiers?"
"Yes, there was no indenture. I just paid them according to the normal employment price."
Qian Duoduo didn’t know how to describe his feelings. Children who had received Red Flag education naturally had a strong affinity for the army.
“A soldier may be small in stature and limited in strength, but when countless such seemingly insignificant individuals come together, they will form an indestructible and powerful force and become a great group.
Especially when facing foreign invasion, they united closely, fought side by side, and put their personal lives and deaths aside.
Every soldier has infinite loyalty to the country and the people, and has a raging fire of defending the country burning in his heart.
They come from all corners of the world, with different backgrounds and experiences, but are brought together by a common mission.
On the battlefield, they march forward bravely and never retreat. No matter how powerful the enemy is, or how fierce their swords are, they cannot stop them from advancing.
They cooperated and supported each other, using their flesh and blood to build indestructible lines of defense.
Some soldiers charged forward and fought bravely; some soldiers held their positions and fought to the death; and some soldiers were responsible for logistics and provided continuous support to the front line.
It is precisely because of these great groups of brave and fearless soldiers that our country can resist foreign aggression and maintain tranquility and peace.
Their achievements should be recorded in history and passed down to future generations.”
"Aren't you afraid of them?" Chu Yan asked puzzledly.
He had been in a military camp, so he knew those soldiers.
We can't say that he's a completely good person, but he's definitely not a bad person either.
However, the character traits displayed by each person are different, but one thing is certain: during a war, no one is a coward, and everyone is a charging warrior.
"Afraid? Hmm..." Qian Duoduo thought about the attitude of the common people towards the soldiers.
"I was afraid before." Qian Duoduo thought for a while and replied.
If you were a soldier in later generations, you would certainly not be afraid, you would not even have time to like it.
However, considering the actual situation of this era, she would probably be scared if she encountered it.
"Aren't you afraid now?"
"I can't say I'm not afraid anymore, I'm just thinking about it from a different perspective. They are the ones who fought for the Chu State, and they also have their own families and friends.
If they get what they deserve, such as having enough food to eat, a good monthly salary, and their family's livelihood is guaranteed, then think about it from another perspective: they are just ordinary people.
I chose to hire them because, firstly, discipline is ingrained in their bones and is easy to manage. Secondly, it can be considered as giving them a way out.
Not everyone is willing to come here, but it can be seen as an alternative for those who have nowhere else to go or no choice. "
Qian Duoduo said all this with a smile, as if what she was doing was a very ordinary thing.
But she didn't know that this wasn't something she should have considered.
The arrangements for sending soldiers home should be made by the imperial court.
"Will my doing this have any impact on you?" Qian Duoduo thought, Chu Yan asked so many questions, maybe he has any concerns.
“There’s nothing wrong with hiring them. They were originally dismissed personnel who were sent home. Moreover, most of them have physical disabilities, so this is a good thing for them.
If someone makes a fuss about them, the emperor will not allow it. The current emperor is still very wise. "
"That's good. However, you said that the hiring was not affected. Then, were there other things that were affected? Was it the matter of delivering supplies to the Northern Army?"
Qian Duoduo sighed softly, not knowing what to say next.
I started doing this a long time ago, and I plan to continue doing it in the future.
But at that time I hadn't thought about becoming a princess in the future. Should I stop now?
"Didn't you say you would send someone over? Is that person reliable?"
"People are reliable, but this person is not. He is... Murong Yun's younger brother. Maybe because of his young age, his personality is not yet stable.
But there must be no problem in getting things done, otherwise we wouldn't have given it to him. We believe he can get things done.
But he may not come back, so we have no way of knowing what will happen next."
The child is young, which is not a good thing.
I will definitely do the job for you beautifully, but after that I'm sure you'll go somewhere to have fun.
Chu Yan was thinking about whether he should tell the truth. Although he had now lifted his suspicion of Qian Duoduo, he didn't know if there were any suspicious people around her.
"Have you told anyone else that I'm leaving?"
"What do you mean? Tell who?"
Chu Yan saw Qian Duoduo staring at him with eyes wide open and full of confusion, and Chu Yan's heart softened.
An Ba was a little anxious in the dark. Although he also thought that the future princess was a good one, the prince encountered an assassination attempt again this time when he went out. There must be a problem within.
It’s not that he doesn’t trust the future princess, but he doesn’t know if there are any suspicious people around her.
Suddenly Chu Yan leaned close to Qian Duoduo's ear and whispered, "After I left the city, I was assassinated. But few people knew about my leaving the city this time."
"Huh?" Qian Duoduo's eyes widened. He pointed at him with his index finger, then at himself, and said in a low voice:
"You doubt me?" Then he looked at Chu Yan with dissatisfaction on his face.
Chu Yan looked at Qian Duoduo's little face which was puffed up with anger, and really wanted to rub it a few times. It must be fun.
"Ahem, that's not the case. It's just that before I left, I only told Father, Bai Ningchuan, and you. I was afraid that there were people around you who were up to no good."
Qian Duoduo felt a little satisfied when he heard Chu Yan say this.
Then she shook her head. "I didn't tell anyone. The point is you didn't tell me where you were going, so what could I tell others?"
Even when Ningning asked you that time, I didn't dare to answer her, for fear that she would ask me where you went. Even if I said I didn't know, she wouldn't believe me. So I simply changed the subject.
As for the rest of us, no one has ever asked me about your situation." There was still some dissatisfaction and aggrievedness in his tone, as if Chu Yan was a heartless man who ran away.
"It's my fault. I'm really sorry. From now on, no matter where I go, even if it's just a trivial matter like going out to meet friends, I will tell you without reservation.
Please believe that what I said this time is not perfunctory or casual, but the most sincere and honest promise from the bottom of my heart. "
As Chu Yan spoke, his expression was extremely serious. His deep and bright eyes stared at Qian Duoduo intently, as if he wanted to convey all his sincerity through his gaze.
