    Su Dongpo then changed the subject: "My son, you are kind-hearted and compassionate, unable to bear seeing those suffering..." "But if you were just a powerless commoner, facing a disaster, you would struggle to even protect yourself, let alone save many." "Your great-grandfather (Su Xu's father, Su Gao) was a wealthy landowner in Meishan. During a great famine, he distributed all his wealth, opening his granaries to save only a few dozen tenant farmers in his village!" "But when I was in office in Hangzhou, drought raged and plague was rampant. With a single official document, I mobilized grain from Zhejiang and Jiangsu, established medical clinics, and invited renowned doctors. A single decree saved tens of thousands of lives!" "Your ingenious ideas, if not for my forceful implementation, could not have had such a significant impact!" "This is the weight of power!" "The higher your official rank, the greater your power, and the more you can do and the more people you can save!" "Even if you are only an official in a prefecture or county, as long as you are kind-hearted and upright, you can ensure the stability of the land and protect the people of the city!" "Confucius said to achieve benevolence, Mencius said to uphold righteousness!" "If you want to practice this 'way of benevolence and righteousness,' you must study hard, pass the imperial examination, and enter officialdom!" "Only when you hold power and stand in the court can you say 'to establish a destiny for the people'!" "Otherwise, even if you have a thousand talents and ten thousand ambitions, you are nothing but a willow catkin in the wind and a duckweed on the water. You can't even protect yourself, let alone anything else!" "In my heart, my son is the Kunpeng that can soar three thousand miles across the water, the phoenix that can fly in the nine heavens!" "I hope that you will have the opportunity in the future to do your best to use what you have learned, to help the distressed and needy, to uphold justice, and to benefit the world!" "Do you understand my expectations and hopes?" Su Dongpo placed his hands heavily on his young son's still tender shoulders, his eyes filled with heavy expectations. Su Dun's mouth gaped open, a profound shock and soul-stirring emotion welling up within him. In his later life, he had lost his father in infancy, and his mother's only wish for him was peace and happiness. Never before had anyone held such high expectations and hopes for him! "Father..." His nose tingled, his eyes reddened, and Su Dun's voice choked with emotion. He bowed deeply to Su Dongpo, his voice filled with unprecedented solemnity: "Father's teachings are like gold and jade, like a warning bell! Your son... Will certainly live up to your teachings, the family's expectations, and will never dare to dishonor the Su family's tradition!" His small body trembled slightly with emotion, each word seeming to have been plucked from his heart. His father's earnest teachings and patient guidance tonight, from the heavy history of the family's rise and fall, to the stark reality of suffering, to the resounding Confucian ideal of saving the world, every word from the bottom of his heart, completely reshaped his understanding of "the imperial examination" and "becoming an official," and made his vague ideal of "saving the world" clearer and more visible. Before, it was nothing more than the arrogance and condescension of a time traveler. From now on, it is a responsibility and commitment to the people of this land. Seeing the realization and determination shining through the tears in his son's eyes, Su Dongpo's tense face finally relaxed, the heaviness between his brows dissolving, replaced by a deep sense of relief. He reached out and gently patted Su Dun's still-bowed shoulder: "To know one's mistakes and correct them is the greatest virtue. Remember my words today, do not disappoint your father again, and do not fail your rare talent, nor the high hopes the Su family has placed on you." "Yes! Dun'er will remember it!"

    Laugh if you want to! Laugh out loud, don't hold it in. -- If you laughed, please add it to your bookshelf. Chapter Thirty-Four: Labor Reform is the Effective Way to Reverse Evil. Several groups of people around Dulonggang were anxiously awaiting the arrival of the Hu Family Village's swords, but what they received was even more bewildering news—not only was that place not preparing for war, but it was also engaged in "major construction," making such a commotion that even the dogs in Yuncheng County knew that the Liangshan bandits were busy "reforming their ways." The "director" of all this was none other than Wu Song, the prisoner-of-war camp commander. At this moment, he was wearing a newly made indigo short jacket, with two monk's knives at his waist, standing on the high platform at the entrance of the prisoner-of-war camp, looking like a fierce tiger that had just finished inspecting its territory. The Liangshan bandits below trembled under his gaze, especially when he waved his hand and shouted, "Strip naked!" More than five hundred men covered their crotches in unison. "Strip! Enough nonsense!" Wu Song's roar shook the limewater pool next to him, causing ripples. This pool was dug by Wang Yifan according to the blueprints for a "disinfection pool." It was filled with lime powder, steaming hot, and smelled like freshly opened gunpowder. The bandits were shoved and pushed into it by the militia, screaming in pain as if splashed into boiling water while dumplings were being cooked. One henchman wearing a floral headscarf tried to hide at the edge of the pool, but Wu Song slapped him on the backside with his dagger, sending him sprawling into the water with a "plop," choking and spitting out three lime bubbles. Fifteen minutes later, this group of "drenched chickens" were dragged out, their skin red like shrimp just pulled from a pot. Before they could even catch their breath, they were forced onto long benches. A group of burly men surrounded them, their gleaming boning knives flashing coldly—the leader was Zhang Qing, who had just come from the pig farm, his apron still covered in pig bristles. With a "whoosh," he swung his knife at one of the bandits' heads! "Oh my god! They're going to castrate us!" The bandits immediately began to wail and scream. One of their leaders was so frightened that he wet himself on the spot, clutching his groin tightly with both hands. "We were wrong! We'd rather be monks! Don't do this!" Zhang Qing's head was throbbing from the noise. He cut off a lock of hair with his knife and shouted impatiently, "What are you howling about? I'm giving you a haircut! A clean haircut will make it easier to work, so lice don't crawl into the pigsty!" Several of his men behind him followed suit, the blades flashing across the scalps as fast as if they were removing hair from pigs—after all, they dealt with pigs every day, and they were more skilled with knives than barbers. They would occasionally make a habitual gesture towards the neck, scaring the bandits so much that their necks shrank back like quails. Watching from the side, Wu Song nodded in approval, secretly praising Wang Yifan's brilliant idea: first, use lime water to "peel off a layer of skin," then let Zhang Qing's "razor team" start "from scratch," and finally, put on short, gray cloth outfits like burlap sacks—this "three-piece initiation suit" would make even the most ruthless bandits cower. "This is the rule of the Dulonggang workshop!" Wu Song announced, hands on his hips. "The refugees are 'official employees,' they go to the new bathhouse and wear the coarse cloth work clothes from Wang Ruyan Silk Shop; you are 'contract workers,' so you have to use this 'express package'!" The bandits grimaced at this, but seeing the razor in Zhang Qing's hand that had just shaved three heads bald, none dared to utter a sound. Even more ingenious was Wu Song's "management innovation." The fifteen bandits who arrived earlier from Yuncheng, having "joined" a few days earlier, were promoted to minor leaders. Three of them led a large brigade, which was then divided into five smaller squads, with the squad leaders chosen by the bandits themselves—ostensibly for "democracy," but in reality, it was Wang Yifan's method of "using bandits to control bandits." "Remember this well!" Wu Song slammed his fist on the table, making a deafening noise, holding the "collective punishment system" drawn by Wang Yifan. "If one person makes a mistake, the whole brigade is punished! Minor mistakes are punished with a cane, major mistakes..." He paused deliberately, glancing at the tense faces of the bandits, and slowly added, "Locked in the dark room for three days!" Upon hearing this, the bandits gasped. They had seen canes and been whipped, but what was a "dark room"? The earlier arrivals had told them it was a small earthen cell less than three feet deep, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. After three days, even the toughest man would be weeping against the wall—this was far more brutal than having his collarbone pierced! In fact, Wu Song himself felt this tactic was "too cruel." He originally only wanted to "punish whoever makes a mistake," but Wang Yifan whispered in his ear, "To deal with these slippery guys, you have to use a softer approach... Let them keep watch on each other; it's better than you exhausting yourself watching them." Although Wu Song didn't fully understand what "a softer approach" meant, seeing Wang Yifan's confident tone, he patted his chest and agreed. As for that "Cloud-Piercing Vajra" Song Wan, he had long lost any semblance of his "Vajra" demeanor. When he first arrived at the POW camp, he stubbornly shouted, "I'm the leader!" Wu Song had him pinned down on a bench and given a thorough beating (a board that had clamped him between his buttocks, leaving him unable to move). After thirty strokes, he could only walk sideways like a crab. Now, he and twenty-three other leaders had been thrown into a pig farm, where Zhang Qing stood at the pigpen entrance, brandishing his "signature work"—a gleaming pig-chopping knife. "Chief Song," Zhang Qing patted his shoulder with a smile, rubbing the back of his knife against Song Wan's neck, "this pig dung needs to be cleared until you can see your reflection, otherwise… this knife won't be able to distinguish between a piglet and you, 'King Kong.'" Song Wan looked at the waist-deep pig dung, then at the familiar "pig-watching" look in Zhang Qing's eyes, shuddered, and quickly grabbed the pitchfork: "I'll do it! I'll do it, okay!" The clanging and banging of hammering came from the workshop area in the distance, while the prisoner-of-war camp was filled with the "groaning of those getting their heads shaved" and the "growing sounds from the pig dung area." Wu Song stood on the high platform, looking at this "vibrant" scene, and stroked his beard with satisfaction—Wang Yifan said that once these people got the job done smoothly, they would be given "performance bonuses," and those who performed well could even have their sentences reduced. Although he didn't quite understand what "performance bonuses" meant, it sounded like "good work gets you meat," and that was enough. In a corner of the POW camp, the bald-headed leader secretly told his companion, "If I had known it would be like this, I would have preferred to farm properly in Liangshan... At least I wouldn't have had my head shaved like that!" Hu Sanniang or Qiu Qiongying, passing by the POW camp on their way to deliver food to Wang Yifan at the construction site, saw the bald bandits and laughed uproariously, saying, "That hairstyle is shinier than the monks in the temple!" Lin Chong, who had been following Wu Song like a lackey, secretly observing everything, silently thought, "If this method were applied to the Imperial Guards, wouldn't their discipline increase several times over?" Thinking of the capital city he could never return to, he couldn't help but sigh deeply.

    I highly recommend this one. *Peaceful and Prosperous Kingdom* tells the daily stories of ordinary officials and commoners in a county town. Exquisite details and a stark depiction of human nature transport you to the bustling streets of the Song Dynasty a thousand years ago. It's not a wish-fulfillment novel, but it has its emotional moments. It's not about political intrigue, but it captures the essence of human relationships. No romance, no cheat codes, no modern-day superiority, just a hyper-realistic portrayal of ancient Chinese life. It's almost a million words long, well-developed and juicy—read it now! Weaknesses: slow-paced, not a wish-fulfillment novel, no romance, relatively uneventful plot, some chapters are too detailed; impatient readers should avoid it.

    This is my own work; the excitement only builds in chapters eight and nine. You'll only laugh if you use your brain. A blend of court intrigue and everyday life, brutal war and refreshing romance. A light and humorous tone, depicting a weighty history. A unique perspective showcasing the legend of an ordinary person. No overpowered protagonists, no supernatural technology, no stereotypical ensemble casts, no cringeworthy moments of mindless enjoyment. The author brings you sincerity and a distinctive writing style! Example: After attending to her husband, Madam Su quickly slipped out of the house. She saw several neighbors whispering in front of her courtyard. Madam Su paused, forced a bitter expression, patted her chest, and sighed loudly: "Oh dear, what should I do?" "Don't panic, Madam Liu, what happened to Registrar Liu?" The neighbors asked with great concern. Madam Su breathed a long sigh of relief. "The Emperor has sent two imperial guards to protect my second son. You know, my courtyard is small; how will we be able to live here?" Madam Su looked troubled. Example: The light cavalry quickly dispersed and retreated to the flanks, while the heavy cavalry revealed their ferocity like wild beasts. Dozens of riders formed more than ten columns, facing the Song soldiers directly. The armored horses galloped faster and faster, their thunderous roar like lightning, and they were about to crash into the Song army's ranks. Tuola led the light cavalry around to the flank and rear of the heavy cavalry, waiting for the heavy cavalry to tear open an opening and deliver a fatal blow to the Southerners. "Open!" Commander Zhang Shun roared fiercely. The heavily armored soldiers in front, holding their breastplates, parted to the sides, and hundreds of chevaux-de-frise and palisades were pushed from inside the formation to the front in a matter of breaths. The heavy knights desperately reined in their horses, but the armored horses, already charging, could not stop their momentum and continued to charge forward. The first few warhorses crashed into the chevaux-de-frise, fell to the ground with mournful cries, and their riders were thrown violently out...
