Xia Lingxuan felt a dull pain in his heart. Seeing these people suffering, he felt particularly uncomfortable, but he didn't know how to change the situation.
The two of them soon arrived at the foot of the city. They looked at these people who were very pitiful. When Xia Lingxuan walked in the middle of this group of people, he felt that his gorgeous clothes seemed particularly heavy.
At this moment, I saw a little boy on the roadside dressed as a beggar. His clothes were dirty and his face was sallow and thin. He seemed to be malnourished and had not had enough to eat for a long time, so the child looked so pitiful. It made Xia Lingxuan feel pity.
"Kind young master, please give me something to eat."
The boy's voice was hoarse and he looked like he was hungry.
Xia Lingxuan said nothing, and King Xiaoyao couldn't bear to see this scene.
He took off a piece of jade pendant he was carrying and threw it into the boy's hand.
Jiang Lanzhou, who was following him, saw this scene and shook his head in disapproval.
On weekdays, Jiang Lanzhou is admired by thousands of people, who believe that he will become a great Confucian after his academic achievements.
"Although King Xiaoyao has good intentions, what you do will only harm this child. This child is so timid and pitiful. If he gets such valuable jewelry, he will definitely be snatched away. If he refuses to let go, he will be beaten up. "
The child is already sallow and thin, without any ability to resist. How can such a poor child have the power to protect himself?
At this time, King Xiaoyao had a look of disbelief on his face, and even Xia Lingxuan was a little shocked. He didn't expect that these low-class people were living such a difficult life.
"They have been living at the bottom for many years, and they can only make a living by begging. If they get something good, it will be taken away if they can't get it. So their life is very hard, so hard that they can only To be able to beg here in this way and end up getting nothing.”
King Xiaoyao couldn't believe that there was such a situation. On weekdays, what he saw in the capital were people dressed in rich clothes. Even if they were in ragged clothes, they would not look like this.
Even if I usually see many people going out and riding in carriages, all followed by their attendants, they look like the country is peaceful and the people are at peace, but I never thought that under the rule of the emperor, even within the scope of the capital, there are still people living such an unfair life. Like a human life.
"I thought that under my father's rule, everyone would live and work in peace and contentment. Even if the people in some places are not rich, they would still be able to have enough food and clothing. Unexpectedly..."
"This is the suburbs of Beijing. Something like this happened at the foot of the Imperial City. So what would it be like if it were somewhere else?"
It's hard to imagine that they spent a lot of money drinking yesterday, but now these poor people can't even grasp the chance of survival. They can only be slaughtered like fish on the chopping board.
Jiang Lanzhou also had a look of helplessness on his face.
You know that these royal children naturally don't understand the sufferings of the people, so they spend all day doing nothing and living extravagantly.
"What the prince sees is only the people who live a better life. Their lives are much better than those in other places. They just rely on begging for a living. If they are lucky, they can live forever. There are many people in other places who live a poor life. Those who don’t live like this will be homeless all day long, with no food to eat and no clothing to cover their bodies, and they may not be able to see the sun the next day.”
Xia Lingxuan and Xia Chengyuan both looked at him in shock, with disbelief on their faces.
Jiang Lanzhou's tone was calm, but his voice was full of compassion:
"There is no monster cholera here, and there will be no monsters eating people here. On weekdays, there will also be some soft-hearted dignitaries. Seeing how pitiful they are, they will lend a helping hand and give them some food."
Of course they live a happy life, but people in other places can only think about whether they will be alive tomorrow.
This also made Xia Lingxuan, the prince, sigh with emotion. He did not expect that the lives of these people would be so difficult. He just sighed helplessly, but knew that he could not change anything with his own strength.
"Perhaps His Highness is just a prince and cannot change the fate of everyone, but with my ability, I can save one by one."
He firmly believes that there are thousands of him in the world, and there will always be someone like him who will stand up to save these poor and thin people.
At this moment, Xia Lingxuan asked someone to escort the child back, and he personally watched the child eat something and live a comfortable and comfortable life, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Lanzhou on the side sighed helplessly. He only hoped that there would be other kind-hearted people like Xia Lingxuan.
After leaving here, Xia Lingxuan's mood was still so heavy. Not long after, Xia Lingxuan led everyone here to meet the person who sold the land before.
The man was dressed in white clothes and riding a carriage decorated with silk and satin, which looked particularly magnificent.
The various accessories on his body are priceless at first glance. Even the curtains of the carriage are made of various pendants made of jade.
This man is a wealthy businessman. He is very rich. When he saw Xia Lingxuan, he did not have the stage fright as expected. Instead, he looked enthusiastic.
"You must be the prince. I know what you want to buy today, so I am waiting here specially."
Open your eyes and tell lies, this guy didn't wait at all, he came later than them!
But at first glance, the other party seemed to be rich and powerful. He was a scumbag prince with a lot of misdeeds. I’m afraid people didn’t take him seriously. He didn’t even realize that the cats and dogs in the court, such as Wang Shilang and Master Meng, dared to bite him. One bite?
The man didn't feel stage frightened when he saw the prince. Instead, he enthusiastically introduced other businesses to Xia Lingxuan.
"Our Ye family has many other properties here. He said that if the prince is willing, he can not only buy it, but also buy some other things. This tea shop also belongs to our Ye family, and our Ye family has a tea mountain."
The Ye family is indeed very capable. Not only does it have a lot of businesses on this street, but there are also many shops in the capital.
Through conversation, I learned that the other party was named Ye Ziliang, and he was a wealthy businessman in the capital.
"Many years ago, someone in my family held a position in the palace. Although it was not a big official position, our Ye family has been doing business for generations, and we are uniquely gifted in terms of real estate and land deeds."
The reason why they have been able to prosper for generations is because they received huge dividends from the land deeds of house sales many years ago.
The Ye Ye Liangnai in front of him is the current head of the Ye family. Although he is young, he has outstanding abilities and is very effective in speaking in the Ye family.
"I didn't expect Ye Jiaru to be so young. He is indeed a hero of our generation."
Xia Lingxuan smiled and exchanged greetings.
The other party's behavior didn't look like an ordinary merchant, and as far as he knew, Ye Ziliang's ability was indeed extraordinary. After he took over the Ye family, the family's wealth had doubled several times.
More industries were expanded, and the reputation of the Ye family spread to the Daxia frontier.
Xia Lingxuan's attitude towards Ye Ziliang is particularly good. He can speak eloquently and has great ability in doing things. It will be a good thing if such a rare talent can stay by his side.
Now he just lacks talents, and he also lacks someone around him who can manage money and manage business.
"If Mr. Ye is willing, you can manage the money for this palace. Of course, you will get the benefits."
