Chapter 506: Preparing to Brainwash
When facing those injured soldiers again, Jing Wan already didn’t have that indescribable and unclear feeling from yesterday, appearing even more calm and composed. Even if unable to personally do something, but consoling the heart at appropriate times was still doable.
It can be said that on certain matters, she already reached a high level unanimity with her husband. Jing Wan felt that she can still do a bit of something. For people that have experienced through war, even having been on the verge of death before, if able to receive psychological counseling, it’ll be much better. But, it was obvious, Jing Wan wasn’t skilled in this aspect. Perhaps she can first train some people like this, letting them go complete this undertaking in the future——Although there wasn’t a systematic way of learning, but the earliest psychiatrists probably also slowly fumbled on their own.
Psychological counseling can’t be done, but letting these people aptly relax their minds was still doable.
Of course, not only so, one can even imbue them with a bit of ‘patriotism’, and also pour some spiritual chicken soup[1] and whatnot.
At present, what can be put onto the stage for people to watch was also just those things, and the ones that were suited to appear here were even fewer. That’s why, one still needed to work up some new ideas from within. Jing Wan felt that she can write some motivational and brainwashing storybooks, and afterwards, let someone change into opera plays to put onto the stage. All in all, it was just giving them hope, giving them courage, letting them properly continue living, letting them in the future protect the home and defend the country regardless of the perils.
After strolling around, Jing Wan still decided to go back to write. This kind of thing, one should be able to easily write a lot.
Jing Wan contemplated as she walked. Inadvertently lifting her head, her gaze swept towards the entrance of an alleyway in front. There was a person watching them. Just, after seeing Jing Wan look over, they just retreated back, not appearing flustered, nor appearing shady.
The distance was a bit far, so Jing Wan didn’t see clearly the other party’s appearance. As such, she didn’t take to heart either. After all, there were quite a few people coming and going from this place, and there was no lack of people secretly watching them.
Jing Wan continued forward, stopping at a certain divide in the road, and turning towards another direction.
The people following by her side didn’t question either, just quietly following after, strictly abiding by their own duties.
Speaking of which, at present, the people that understood wound stitching weren’t many. Even if Gong Jiu was willing to empty his knowledge to teach, not every doctor was able to accept. And compared to others, Gong Jiu’s skills were still the most pure. As such, after the battle, he was also the busiest. From yesterday to now, he seemingly has yet to rest.
One has to know, even if it’s just stitching up the most simple wound, the places that one needs to pay attention to weren’t few either.
TN: All
Just, Jing Wan has yet to enter Gong Jiu’s ‘surgery room’. If she were to go in, then she would know, what Gong Jiu did wasn’t just simple stitching. His guts and certain thoughts were all very daring.
Although a bit worried about Gong Jiu’s body, Jing Wan in the end still just stood outside, not going in to disturb.
Seeing him not come out for a while, she didn’t think of going anywhere else either, just leaving someone behind to wait for Gong Jiu to come out, letting him go back to rest. If not resting well, the impact on the body will be very big. Even if knowing that Gong Jiu was once a shadow guard, having gone through special training, so even if not resting for several days and nights, he probably all won’t make any mistakes, it didn’t mean that it was fine.
Gong Jiu stayed here to help under her orders, and for Jin Qinwang Manor and for her husband, Gong Jiu was all exceptionally important. As such, he absolutely can’t have any mishap.
After going back, Jing Wan didn’t see Li Hong Yuan. Towards this, she also wasn’t surprised, directly going to the study.
Because she’d already thought of the concept previously, borrowing some stories from her past, adapting and mixing, then adding in some things that matched the background and history here, she was able to immediately lift the brush and write, her speed quite quick.
The more she wrote, the more inspirations there seem to be, as if simply unable to stop.
That’s why, when Li Hong Yuan returned, he once again saw a somewhat familiar scene. This time, he didn’t just quietly watch, but rather startled Jing Wan first thing.
Jing Wan lifted her head, “You’re back?” And immediately after, just lowered her head again, swiftly writing ten more words. Stopping the brush, she had the paper picked up blowing it to dry the ink, “Ah Yuan, what do you think?” Somewhat like showing off a treasure, she had a stack of paper presented before Li Hong Yuan.
Li Hong Yuan flipped through as he listened to Jing Wan’s concept. Seeing the stories written on the paper, in the eyes of someone like Li Hong Yuan, it was simply just trying to dupe people, but if it’s for those ordinary soldiers, then it was a completely different matter.
Li Hong Yuan had to admit, if these things were seen by those soldiers, their hot-blooded passion would at least shoot up by several times, because those people in the end were all ordinary people. They didn’t know how to read and write, not having much insight, not understanding big principles, very easily getting led along by others. “In Wan Wan’s past, those in power, should be very skilled in bribing the heart, right?”
Jing Wan lightly clicked her tongue at him, “What nonsense are you saying.”
Li Hong Yuan silently laughed, not saying anything. This conversation also just stopped here. “Send a letter back to the capital as quickly as possible, letting the acting troupe of Jin Qinwang Manor all come over.”
“This prefectural city similarly has acting troupes, why abandon the near and seek the far?”
“Because this prince wants to watch a play and listen to opera. The acting troupes here can’t satisfy this prince’s requirement. What’s inappropriate about it?” Li Hong Yuan smiled with an unknown implication.
In an instant, Jing Wan understood. Tsk, that’s why, this man really was able to reasonably exploit anything.
