Chapter 376: Big Brother's Engagement Banquet (page 13)
This full moon banquet for Sanbao was also a celebration banquet for the victory over Japan. It was held very grandly and was not held for one day, but for three consecutive days.
The first day was a banquet in the palace for all the officials and dignitaries, officials from various institutions, as well as the ladies, ladies-in-waiting and female officials hosted by the Queen in the harem, as well as the medical team and other female guests.
The focus is on commending the heroes who participated in the war against Japan, those who were awarded titles were given titles, and those who were promoted were promoted.
Your Majesty is always generous in rewarding military officers. Among them, Jia Si, Jia Shi Ba, Shen Lin Zhong and Li Nian Yu were all conferred titles.
Zhou Hu, Chen Li and a number of other generals were promoted and rewarded, and auxiliary teams including military doctors, Mo Men craftsmen, etc. were also rewarded.
Ling Moxiao, the head of Yue Jian's female spy agency, specifically told Dong Su that he felt this spy agency would be of great use in the future, but it was not suitable to be shared with the public, so it was a secret reward.
Yue Jian was not only the head of the female officials, but also a third-rank official of the secret agency appointed by the emperor himself. Only a few important ministers knew of the existence of this agency, and when they heard that it was used to assist in the war, no one dared to raise any objections.
On the second day, the meritorious officials were paraded around the city and the whole city held a celebration.
On the third day, a special banquet was held at the naval base, and the entire army attended the banquet.
Ling Moxiao brought Dabao and Xiaobao to participate, while Jia Shiba, his eldest brother, and Li Nianyu rode big horses and wore red flowers to tour the city.
Dabao came back and told Dongsu that his uncle looked as imposing as a groom.
Chen Luoxue's face immediately turned red when she heard this. Dabao and Xiaobao already knew that Ms. Chen would soon become their aunt, and they kept looking at Chen Luoxue and smiling while saying this.
Dong Su was probably a little tired from yesterday's celebration party, and Xiaobao was also a little listless, so she stayed at home to look after Xiaobao and did not go on the city tour.
The female medical team was also in the Youcheng team. All female medical staff who came back alive from the war against Japan would be rewarded handsomely. After this battle, the female medical team became more respected by the whole nation.
Master Bai specifically asked Dong Su to double the number of students enrolled in the Medical College this year.
Dong Su naturally agreed. Now she hardly needed to invest the money she had invested in the medical college and the clinic. The money earned from the several large clinics in Jiangnan that Brother Dayu was in charge of was enough to cover the expenses of these two institutions.
In addition, finished drug stores are linked to the post office and opened in various state capitals. Although it is a low-profit business, it is a unique business and the money earned is just enough for the Medical Bureau to research new drugs.
The only time Dong Su has to spend money on the medical field that she has single-handedly built up is by rewarding outstanding doctors and medical staff who are rated as the best every quarter.
Furthermore, for vaccine research, she insisted not to use the income from the clinic, but to invest it herself, because it is a bottomless pit.
No one knows when a vaccine will be successfully developed, and once a vaccine for an epidemic is successfully developed, there will be a second, a third...
Today, the areas with the most epidemics are still Fujian and Lingnan, with several types of epidemics breaking out every year.
Besides, this time when the war against Japan was victorious, many naval commanders were rewarded, including a group of sailors from Fujian Province, which was the navy that had just been established that year.
As they had no one available, Dong Su and Mr. Pang specially asked people to go to Minzhou to find a spontaneously organized anti-Japanese pirate team from the local people, as well as former navy personnel.
This time, all of them were promoted, and one of them was even granted a title. Ling Moxiao knew that they wanted to return home, so he specially gave them a month's vacation.
A female medical team was also specially approved to go with them because there was another epidemic outbreak in Minzhou.
Although these Minzhou naval generals had experienced two major battles, the War of Goryeo and the War of Expedition against Japan, and had fought in seas of blood and mountains of corpses, they had made great achievements.
But they have always been grateful to the Queen for her kindness. If the Queen had not brought them from Minzhou to Youzhou and not cared about their backgrounds,
You have to know that some of them were regarded as unruly people in the local area, neither good at literature nor martial arts, and a group of young boys spontaneously organized an anti-Japanese team.
He spent the whole day in the sea, armed with simple weapons and a few small broken boats, learning drills from the old navy.
They were somewhat useful when the Japanese pirates came, but once the pirates retreated, they became local wanderers. They often incited and organized the people to fight the pirates, and were regarded as a scourge by the government.
Who could have thought that a few years later, the "little troublemaker" in the small town would come back from Youzhou and become a military officer, and the big brother would even confer a title on him.
How could they not thank the queen? When they first went to Youzhou, they didn’t even have enough food to eat, and they were dressed in rags. They looked at Youzhou City as if they had strayed into a fairyland.
But when they arrived at the base, no one looked down on them. The Queen's brother, Lord Shen, trusted them very much. They trained recruits together and sailed to kill the enemy together.
Dong Su never took credit for himself, but he heard that these military officers from Minzhou wanted to meet the queen alone before returning home.
She naturally dressed formally to receive them and prepared a gift for each of them to take home. The Queen Mother was always generous, but the military officers would not use the things she gave, but keep them as heirlooms.
Dong Su listened to their sincere gratitude for the kindness of knowing her back then. She smiled and said, she didn't do anything, and the achievements she has made today are all the work you have done.
To be honest, I should thank you. Back then, when I asked the court for naval power, there was no one available. It was not until your arrival that the navy took shape.
Dong Su knew that half of the Minzhou soldiers who came with them died in the war against the Japanese invaders, so he gave rewards to the fallen soldiers and asked them to bring them back to Minzhou to their families.
If they have no family, the reward will be used to build a heroic monument in their hometown for those soldiers who died in the war.
Dong Su soon discovered that these generals spoke hesitantly, and it was obvious that they wanted to ask her something, but they didn't know how to start.
Dong Su found out that she had become the queen. No, it should be said that it started when she was still Princess Ling and was in charge of Youzhou City.
She awakened a kind of ability in herself, which was that when someone came to see her, she could tell whether he wanted to ask a favor from her just by looking at him.
This should be a skill that those in power develop on their own. Ling Moxiao also said that when he was in court, he sat high on the throne and just by looking at the expressions of the courtiers below, he knew what they were thinking.
Dong Su had the same feeling when looking at these generals at this time. It was a bit difficult to wait quietly for them to speak, so she asked with a smile, "Is there anything that requires the Queen's help?"
As for sending more medical staff to accompany them back to Minzhou, she has already informed the Medical College. This time, there will be a group of more than a hundred newly graduated medical staff accompanying them.
General Lu, who was given a title, said in gratitude: "We already know about this matter. Thank you for your love for the people of Minzhou. We are not here for this matter."
Dong Su smiled at him encouragingly and motioned for him to continue.
General Na Lu's face flushed red, but looking at his brothers around him, he mustered up the courage to say:
"We heard the six ministries talking about how the three small island nations have all been annexed by the Xia Dynasty. The navy's future mission is to escort merchants. We should cut naval expenses and streamline the force."
"Now the Youzhou navy is extremely powerful, enough to dominate the world. We, the people of Minzhou... haha, don't worry about the Queen laughing at me. I feel embarrassed to call myself a lord or a general. We are just some rangers who want to kill the Japanese pirates."
"Now that the Japanese have been destroyed and there are no more Japanese pirates in the world, I wonder if Your Majesty will still use us?"
Dong Su now understood their concerns. So the emperor gave you a one-month vacation. Do you think he doesn't need you anymore and wants you to go home and retire?
She felt that the first reason why General Lu and others had such a sense of inferiority was, of course, the issue of reducing the navy that was being discussed by all six departments.
