Chapter 25: Prince's Means(1/2)
For people who are either powerful or wealthy in this era, their daily lives are generally the same.
But for the poor people living at the bottom, every day is suffering.
Especially when life is rough and disaster strikes.
That would really make me want to die.
But every time at this time, when they see their family members, they will continue to live in a state of indifference.
It is easy to die, but it is really difficult to live.
But who would be willing to die!
After more than half a month of fermentation, the drought has reached a point where there is no need to delay.
It is no longer possible to whitewash peace in the court.
Those dead bodies and withered bones turned into numbers one after another and were brought to the emperor's desk.
Impacting this already unstable court.
The news that King Xian disappeared after being assassinated was just submerged in it, and no one cared.
…
At that time, Liu Yaoyao was watching the people brought by Xiu Xuefei paste words on the big rocks specially selected by the villagers.
The words were written by the county magistrate who we had a close relationship with.
It is the name of this small village.
The words Taoyuan Village were written on the snow-white silk paper.
A paradise, Liu Yaoyao understood, although she was not prepared to develop it like this.
These three words are all human relations.
Chang Baiqing's face glowed red and he said hello three times loudly:
"Xiao Xiu, you and your brothers must stay for dinner after you finish your work."
Finally, add another sentence:
"Your Majesty, the name of this village is really well chosen."
Xiu Xuefei scratched his head and laughed, making a rubbing gesture:
"I told the county magistrate about the situation in our village. He knows best."
After being here for so many days, there have been no shortage of outsiders in the village.
Chang Baiqing has almost touched this pool of water a long time ago.
Hearing this, he smiled:
"If this is the case, that will be the blessing for us ordinary people."
This old county magistrate is different from those local snakes.
He was looked down upon by them, but his reputation in the eyes of ordinary people was quite good.
I am forced to "get sick" from time to time just to avoid the trouble that comes my way.
Mr. Tang has a big reason why this "calligraphy treasure" can be given away today.
Secondly, it is the reason why they have changed the village so much in a short period of time.
Xiu Xuefei kept her mouth sweet in front of her colleagues and said modestly:
"It is a blessing for all of us."
A group of people worked quickly and well, and the words "Taoyuan Village" on the big stone painted with special paint looked elegant and elegant.
When it was finished, the aroma of rice just came out of the village.
The hooked group of government officials who had long heard about the unique food in Taoyuan Village had Adam's apples rolling down their throats.
"Yaoyao, what shall we eat today?"
Xiu Xuefei followed Liu Yaoyao step by step, drooling three feet long.
“Eat roast duck.”
Liu Yaoyao had her hands behind her back, a straw hat on her head, a cloth bag on her shoulder, and a travel diary stuck on her back. She was still dressed in the same old style.
She said plausibly:
"Even if these factories are open, most of the workers are men. I have to find some work for my aunt and sister in the village."
This time, Xiu Xuefei was just stunned for a moment and then returned to normal.
This is a different girl.
Smart, intelligent, and bold.
What's even more rare is that she is not like those capable people nowadays who are self-conscious, but is willing to reach out to help more people.
Thinking of this, Xiu Xuefei couldn't help but feel melancholy.
The gap between people is really too big.
"It would be great if the victims outside could also meet you, Yaoyao."
Liu Yaoyao paused:
"What? The city is closed?"
"It's enough to close the city. The soldiers guarding the city have all gone to the city gate to block people. None of the victims can even get in."
Liu Yaoyao's eyes darkened and she turned her head to look at Xiu Xuefei:
"Where is the prince?"
Xiu Xuefei was so excited by the word "Prince" that he suddenly raised his head to look at Liu Yaoyao.
"Recently, people are spreading news everywhere that the prince has been assassinated and his whereabouts are unknown. I..."
Liu Yaoyao's thoughts changed and she immediately changed her topic and talked about something else:
"Brother Xiu, how is the decoration of your shop? I prepared this roast duck for you, so don't be unable to take over the stall."
Xiu Xuefei rubbed his hands, smiled, and stopped thinking about the prince:
"It's good, it's good. The brothers in Chai's class just pointed out that it became an instant hit, so they don't care too much about it, and I'm just waiting for this little shop to open."
As a government official in the city, Xiu Xuefei still has some conveniences.
For example, finding a shop is not easy at all.
As for the advanced aesthetics in the store...
Liu Yaoyao is now the little boss of Chaijiaban.
They also shouldered the heavy responsibility of Liu Yaoyao's first shop design drawing in the city, and they really didn't dare to relax in the slightest.
"That's fine."
Liu Yaoyao walked away with satisfaction, holding her hands behind her back.
And over there, Tang Jinzhen, the missing person who was assassinated, appeared openly outside the protective camp of the border town...
…
Liu Yaoyao heard new news from Xiu Xuefei within a few days.
"Have the victims entered the city?"
"Yes, it's just that they register first and then enter the city in batches, disrupting their entry into other villages."
Xiu Xuefei chewed a popsicle with a slurred mouth.
"This will also prevent them from being overwhelmed by the number of people, and it will be more convenient to provide relief."
Liu Yaoyao squatted aside, with graffiti that Xiu Xuefei couldn't understand under the bamboo stick in his hand.
"The people in this village are also willing?"
Liu Yaoyao considered the inexhaustible food in her golden fingers and tilted her head to ask.
"The prince has given a benefit. All villages that receive and properly resettle these victims will be exempted from taxes this year."
Liu Yaoyao smiled:
"This benefit is really great."
Xiu Xuefei also smiled. He knew whose boat he was on now:
"Not only that, the prince also gave each disaster victim twenty taels of silver."
Speaking of this, Xiu Xuefei still sighed.
This two taels of silver is enough for a family to live for a year.
Liu Yaoyao nodded:
To be continued...
