The Fulang's Modern Young Husband Chapter 377 Part 4

Pingxiang Village was Fang Zichen’s own project. And when it came to getting people riled up, no one could beat him. Even the old grandpas listened with fiery enthusiasm and emotional fervor, they kept shouting that they wanted to enlist. The village kids were even more fired up, but they knew that sort of thing was only for grown-ups. So when they hung out with Guaizai, they'd sigh and say they wished they could grow up fast and become great heroes who ride horses and kill enemies to defend the motherland. Guaizai told them he could go, and all his little friends believed him.

Now Wang Dagou asked in puzzlement: "Didn't you say you had special privileges?"

While the emperor was mulling over Shen Nian, Shen Nian was also thinking about the emperor.

He knew he had let too much emotion show today. He knew he should not have done that. Qi Junmu was the emperor—an emperor with the power of life and death over everyone. If he were smart, he should have played along with the emperor's lead and pretended that little rift in court had never existed.

He should have continued their ruler-subject relationship as before—especially since the emperor had, in the end, looked out for him and shielded him from all the rumors and gossip in court.

Every slogan was stirring. Going into the army was the highest honor.

And truly—if protecting their home and country wasn't honorable, then what was?

Even the soldiers themselves were choked with tears as they read them aloud.

If everyone feared death, where would the border troops come from? Without those soldiers holding the line, who knew how many bowls of Mengpo's soup they'd have drunk by now?

Chapter 46

Qi Junmu watched Shen Nian leave, then sat back in his chair and pinched the bridge of his brow.

The look in Shen Nian's eyes just now had made him feel a flicker of embarrassment—more than that, it was the awkwardness of being seen through. In truth, earlier in the great hall, while everyone was buzzing with debate, he had also considered dragging Shen Nian into the mess.

Perhaps the very reason he had never told Shen Nian his full plan from the start was that he had been saving this day.

Chang Sheng was someone he would never keep around.

Under imperial regulations, each prefecture should have about ten thousand garrison troops. But Hezhou's previous soldiers had been disbanded by the former prefect. Naturally, new ones had to be recruited. And the conscription did bring them benefit—soldiers and runners jointly maintained order in the towns, which meant they would be safer when they went out.

Hezhou bordered Jizhou, and beyond Jizhou lay the Northern Qi and other kingdoms. They knew about the time Da Yuan had nearly broken through to Hezhou the year before last, and they remembered it.

"Does every one of you share this view?" Qi Junmu’s gaze swept across the assembly. When it passed over Shen Nian, he paused for just a breath—but quickly moved on, letting no one notice.

After the Emperor asked this, the court fell utterly silent. Not a single person spoke up for Shen Nian.

A few military officers showed flickers of hesitation on their faces, yet with so much evidence stacking up against Shen Nian, no one dared speak up for him. It was common knowledge that when it came to parsing words and picking apart phrases, they rough-handed military men could never keep up with the civil officials. One ill-chosen word, and even a good case could turn sour.

Chapter 377

Fang Zichen had theory but no experience; Zhang Fan had experience but no theory. One talked while the other worked. Though they used different materials, they ultimately reached the same goal by different paths.

Zhang Fan threw himself into the paper mill with single-minded devotion, forgetting to eat or sleep, his heart fired with the passion of research. Fang Zichen, on the other hand, disappeared the moment mealtime arrived. After thirteen days, they produced toilet paper.
