Chapter 253 Placement
When the ministers arrived, the Golden Guards were subdued by the Dark Guards, who found a total of 700 babies and 299 baby corpses soaked in strong liquor.
Everyone watched with bloodshot eyes.
"How insane!" One minister was so angry that he couldn't help but burst into tears.
"brute!"
The seven hundred babies were all naked and had been missing for many days, so everyone thought each one looked like their own. For a moment, everyone was almost ready to fight over the babies.
Ruan Qingqing directly told everyone to shut up, "Those who can dress babies stay, the rest get out!"
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone ran away.
Ruan Qingqing was so angry! What a bunch of pigs! Male chauvinism!
Finally, they were all called in and asked to learn how to dress the babies.
"We won't!" the ministers said as a matter of course.
The secret guards said coldly, "We only know how to kill people, not how to dress others."
Ruan Qingqing took a deep breath, "You can't learn everything! It's cold in late autumn. If I don't help them put on their clothes as soon as possible, I'm afraid they won't survive!"
Chase kicked each of the secret guards who spoke up earlier, "Don't you know how to learn? Where's your brain?"
Those secret guards were kicked to the ground by their own head, but they did not dare to show any dissatisfaction. They got up swiftly and stood aside like sticks.
Ruan Qingqing spread out the clothes and blankets she had found and taught everyone how to dress the baby.
After the demonstration, he let them try it themselves. Then he patrolled the crowd and corrected any mistakes in time. Mr. Shi shuttled among the babies, diagnosing and treating them.
"Hey, hey, did you hear what I said just now? You are packing some snacks to go with the wine!" Ruan Qingqing quickly rescued the baby from the hands of a secret guard.
Seeing the baby's face almost turning blue from being suffocated, she couldn't help but get angry.
But the secret guard had a deadpan look on his face and said, "I can only pack food and drinks, I can't help others dress!"
Ruan Qingqing even had the urge to kick him to death!
Finally, she thought about it and gave up, "You really don't know how to dress the baby, please go outside and ask a maid or concubine to come over and let them do it for you.
As soon as Ruan Qingqing finished her words, all the secret guards ran away as if they had been pardoned. Ministers who had daughters as concubines or talented women in the palace also hurried to seek help.
Even Chase quickly ran out to get help, asking a grown man to put clothes on such a small person. He was afraid that if he used too much force, he would break the bone of the kid who was blowing bubbles at him.
So all the concubines, talented women and palace maids who were crying outside the emperor's bedroom were either taken or invited to the cold palace to help dress the baby.
"Oh my god! Why are there so many babies here!"
"Hurry up and dress them!"
The secret guards gave the order in a cold voice.
Everyone exchanged glances while dressing the baby.
After some trouble, Old Shi walked in front of Ruan Qingqing and said, "There are nearly sixty babies who may not last for ten days."
Ruan Qingqing asked: "If you take good care of it, can you save it?"
"At least five years!" Old Shi stretched out his hand to her and said.
Ruan Qingqing called together the Minister of Justice Qian, the Minister of Works Liu, the Minister of Revenue Fu, the Minister of Personnel Shi, the Minister of Rites Yan, and the Minister of War Wang, and explained the situation to them. She also suggested that instead of trying to identify which child belongs to which child in such a messy way, it would be better for everyone to contribute money and manpower to raise them together, and when they grow up they will naturally be able to easily tell which child belongs to which child.
"Wouldn't it be enough to use blood test to identify kinship?" someone suggested.
"How can so many children come together? The most important thing is that blood test for kinship is not accurate."
"The rules passed down by our ancestors have been in use for hundreds of years, why are they no longer allowed?" Old Minister Yan immediately glared at Ruan Qingqing. "Girls, you shouldn't get married and stay at home to take care of your husband and children. Why do you come here to show off? How can you be so rude?"
"I don't like what Minister Yan said. What's wrong with being a girl? Who says a girl has to stay at home to take care of her husband and children? Besides, high-yield seeds can only be produced by staying at home to take care of her husband and children?" Ruan Qingqing immediately retorted rudely.
"Isn't it just that we have developed high-yield seeds? What's so great about it that's worth bragging about all the time!" Old Minister Yan flicked his sleeves and said contemptuously.
"Minister Yan is a real man. Since high-yield seeds are so easy to obtain, why don't you make some?"
"you!"
"Okay! Miss Ruan is different from other girls. You! Don't look at her with the old traditional eyes." The old Minister Fu on the side pulled him up.
Ruan Qingqing was too lazy to argue with this group of old scholars, so she asked someone to bring three bowls of water. At the same time, she asked Old Shi to go to the alchemy room to help her find two things.
Soon, someone brought three bowls of water. Ruan Qingqing added salt and alum that Shi Lao had found to two of the bowls. She retracted her sword into the size of a dagger and said to Minister Yan: "Minister Yan, how about you try it first?"
"Just try it, I want to see what tricks you can come up with!" Old Minister Yan immediately took the knife and cut his finger, then dripped a drop of blood into each of the three bowls.
Ruan Qingqing's eyes rolled, and she asked the old minister Qian, the old minister Liu, and the minister Fu to take some blood and drip it in.
In everyone's eyes, they could clearly see that the blood of Minister Qian and Minister Liu instantly merged with that of Minister Yan, but the blood of Minister Fu did not merge with that of Minister Yan.
Everyone was surprised for a moment.
Minister Yan's face immediately turned red.
No one raised any objections now.
"But how are you going to take those sixty sick children back to Bale? Why not leave them here?" suggested Minister Fu.
Ruan Qingqing declined his kindness, "Old Shi wants to go back to Bale City, and there will be chaos here soon. It is not suitable for the children to stay here to recuperate. Taking them back to Bale City to recuperate is the safest way!"
Just then she saw Zhou Zheng and his brother coming over. Ruan Qingqing handed the babies to Zhou Che and left with the remaining 60 babies. Each baby was held by a secret guard, and they left in a grand manner.
Zhou Che wanted to say something, but after looking at his younger brother, he gave up.
I watched helplessly as a group of secret guards disappeared without a single one left.
Yue Linlang was excited to see that her leader had only four people when he left, but came back with more than three hundred people. Their Mohist team had grown a little stronger.
I was just a little surprised when I saw the sixty people in front of me, each of whom had a thick package hanging on his chest.
"Master, what do they have on their chests?"
"Babies!" Ruan Qingqing briefly explained the situation to her and ordered, "Linlang, go with Uncle Yan and General Zhang to buy at least six milk-producing cows or sheep, as well as ten kilograms of almonds, thirty water bags, ten batches of fine cotton cloth, and a hundred kilograms of cotton. I will need them!"
"Okay! I'll go right away!"
Ruan Qingqing thought for a moment and reminded her, "Remember to leave after buying. It's not advisable to stay here for long. We will meet outside the capital."
"it is good!"
