So, Tang Yingying and Mo Chen very simply handed over a few children to General Wen, and the couple slowly turned around Guwen Town, and their own subordinates went to the General's Mansion to clean up.

After several years of development, Guwen Town is much better than before, there are many more people coming and going, there are more shops on the street, more things are sold, and you can see all kinds of merchants from time to time.

Tang Yingying sighed with emotion: "In just a few years, the development of Guwen Town has been much better, which is a good thing for the people."

All the people want is peace and well-being.

Mo Chen carefully guarded her: "All of this is actually thanks to Lin Jin. If Lin Jin hadn't tossed Qianliang Guo so much, things wouldn't have been solved so easily. The last emperor of the former Liang Kingdom was ambitious."

Tang Yingying pondered, this is really the case. If Lin Jin hadn't done so many things, the former Liang Kingdom would not have been torn apart in such a short period of time, let alone divided into several small countries.

"In that respect, Lynkin has done a great thing."

Mo Chen hummed and pointed to the tea house not far away: "Let's go sit there."

The couple went to the tea house and sat down and asked for a pot of medium tea, Tang Yingying bought a few baked cakes from the baked cake stall next door, and watched the pedestrians on the street while eating with Mochen.

After looking at it for a while, Tang Yingying asked the stall owner with a smile: "Old man, I see that the business of your stall is quite good. I came to Guwen a few years ago, and it wasn't so lively at that time."

The stall owner was a very kind old man, and he wiped his hands on his clean apron again and again, and smiled all over his face: "This is thanks to Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Regent, as well as General Wen. Since the defeat of the former Liang Kingdom, His Majesty has decreed the exchange of trade with several other countries."

"In this kind of trade, there are more people coming and going. If there are a lot of people, won't my business be good? Madam, you don't know, several other countries can envy our Western Dynasty. We have a very good Majesty in the Western Dynasty, and His Royal Highness the Regent, who is wise and martial, and I heard that the Princess Regent is also very good, and she has opened a good hall and founded the Women's Army."

The Prince Regent and his wife looked at each other and smiled, and the happiness of the people was the happiest thing for them.

Tang Yingying's smile was a little more: "The matter of the regent and his wife has been reported to the border pass?"

The stall owner nodded: "It's been heard a long time ago, and there is also a storyteller who talked about the regent's wife, but many people have listened. If it weren't far away, I would have wanted my daughter to join the Women's Army, and there would be a way out, Madame said, didn't she?" br>

Tang Yingying nodded very approvingly: "What the old man said is very true. What we people want is for our family to be safe and secure, to have a better way out, and not to worry about food and clothing."

The stall owner slapped his thigh: "Madam, you are so right! We, the people, are looking forward to this."

Tang Yingying learned a lot about the current situation in Guwen Town from the stall owner.

Then, she and Mo Chen continued to wander around.

By the time the couple had finished walking around and returned to the General's Mansion, the children had already returned.

"Mother!" The little sweetheart hugged her mother's thigh, and said with a smile: "We already understand, what is the eyes that deceive us, the old general Gangwen told us in detail."

Tang Yingying touched her head, took out several kinds of food, and distributed them to a few children: "This incident tells us a truth, seeing is not necessarily believing, understand?"

A few children suddenly chattered.

"Yes, yes, seeing is not necessarily believing, and hearing is not necessarily false."

"So, we have to learn to judge, and we can't just see or listen to decide things."

Tang Yingying was very satisfied with the words of several children: "No matter what happens, you must have your own judgment, you can't follow the crowd, and you can't just watch or listen to make decisions, remember?"

A few children: "Remember!"

Tang Yingying let a few children play, and she went back to the house with Mochen to rest, and it was not too late to talk about anything tomorrow.

The next day, in the morning.

When a few children were studying with the master, Tang Yingying and Mo Chen looked for it

To the old general Wen.

The three of them sat down to drink tea and chat.

"Old general, there is one more thing for our husband and wife to come to the border this time, that is, to take you back to the Western Capital for retirement at the behest of His Majesty." Mo Chen said straight to the point.

General Wen was stunned, and he didn't know what kind of mood he should be in for a while: "Go back to the Western Capital."

He looked at the yellow-colored sky outside the house and had mixed feelings: "I have been in the border for decades, this is my second home, I am very familiar with every plant and tree here, and even know every person in the town and their habits."

"Now you want me to go back to the Western Capital...... Although I expected it, I was still uncomfortable and a little uncomfortable. To be honest, I didn't really think about leaving the border pass, what I thought was that I would die at the border in the end."

Mo Chen could understand him: "But Old General Wen, for the rest of your life, you have to spend more time with your family. You have dedicated your country for decades, and it is time to take care of your old age and accompany your family."

General Wen felt guilty and apologetic: "I am worthy of Your Majesty, the country and the people in my life, but I am sorry for my family, especially my wife. When she closed her eyes, I was guarding the border and couldn't go back to accompany her for the last time."

At that time, the situation was not good, and he, as a general, could not leave the border pass, so he could only be ashamed of his wife.

Although his wife's last words said that he was not to blame, he was obsessed with the incident.

"Speaking of which, I have an idea." Tang Yingying spoke: "In addition to generals like General Wen who can't return to their hometown all year round, there are also those soldiers who can't return home all year round."

"Even if you have a vacation, the transportation is inconvenient, and the distance is long, you can't go home to have a look. So, can the imperial court come forward and arrange for the families of these soldiers to live here? If they don't want to, the imperial court will arrange for people to escort the families of these soldiers to visit?"

Mo Chen touched his chin: "Daughter-in-law, you can tell me specifically."

Tang Yingying said carefully: "It's not difficult to say this, it's not easy to say. First of all, there are the various expenses on the road and the carriage. The second is time. For ordinary people, a few months of commuting, even if it doesn't cost a copper plate, will have a big impact on their livelihood, so most people are unwilling."

"We've got a lot to do. First, how to make up for this part of the loss of the family? Second, how to arrange the exchange of months? Third, there are other bits and pieces. It's not so easy to carry out this matter, now you have to share your views."

Mo Chen asked General Wen to speak first.

General Wen Lao knows this best: "To be honest, if possible, I am really willing to let the families of these soldiers come to see them. But, as the Princess Regent said, it is not so easy to implement this, there are too many problems, and the most important thing is how to solve the livelihood of the family?"

"For ordinary people, they have to work hard all year round to have a little money to spare, and how can they be willing to waste months to see their families."

Mo Chen nodded: "Therefore, the key to the problem is still in the livelihood. No matter how many people want to come to the barracks to see their families, they can't come because of the escalation."

Tang Yingying: "That's it. This amount of money seems to be very small, but if it is paid by the imperial court, it will add a great burden to the imperial court and make many people dissatisfied."

"However, we can propose it to Your Majesty. As for whether or not to implement it, and how to implement it, let Your Majesty discuss it with the courtiers. As the saying goes, three stinkers are the best of the best."

Mo Chen couldn't cry or laugh: "Daughter-in-law's words are right, such a big matter should indeed be discussed by His Majesty and the courtiers, just let's talk about it."

"Whether this matter works or not, I am here on behalf of many soldiers and their families, thank you Your Royal Highness the Regent, Princess Regent." General Wen got up and made a big salute.

Mo Chen hurriedly helped him up: "Old General Wen is serious. You have done a lot for your country and Your Majesty, and now it is time for Your Majesty to do something for you."

General Wen wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes: "Look at me, when I'm old, I like to shed some horse urine. Don't hide it from His Royal Highness the Regent, many soldiers miss their families very much, but they have a long way to go, and due to various reasons such as livelihood, they can't do it for a long time

See your family."

"If you have a better family, you can come back once in a few years. However, the travel is tiring, and the older and younger ones can't come."

It's his family, and it's a few people who come every few years. But it's still a toss back and forth, and people have lost a lot of weight.

Mo Chen said with relief: "Old General Wen rest assured, I will find a way to deal with this matter as much as possible."

General Wen was very grateful: "With the words of His Royal Highness the Regent, I am relieved. I hope that one day, these soldiers will be able to see their families."

Mo Chen really can't guarantee this, but this matter is very troublesome to implement, and it is not easy to implement: "Old General Wen, you should pack up, and you have to go back to the Western Capital with us in a few days, Your Majesty and your family are waiting for you in the Western Capital."

General Wen nodded: "I'll clean up in the next two days." He sighed lightly: "All of a sudden, I want to leave, I feel like I can't give up anything, I want to take everything with me."

I've been at the border for decades, and I suddenly want to leave, and I really can't give up anything, I want to take everything with me.

Mo Chen: "We don't hurry, and we bring a lot of things ourselves, so the old general can bring things casually."

Old General Wen answered, and thought about what things to bring back: "Your Royal Highness the Regent, I'll go and pack up first."

He bowed and went back to his room.

"Let's go, let's go out and buy some souvenirs or something." Tang Yingying said.

Mo Chen hummed and walked around the street with her to buy something.

The two bought a lot of things, and when they were about to go back to the general's mansion to put their things away, a vendor pushing a cart stopped in front of the couple.

"You two, do you want to buy some specialties from other countries?" The vendor was a lean, swarthy middle-aged man, and he enthusiastically introduced his things: "I bought them all from all over the world."
