Chapter 136: Expressing Feelings

The house fell into a new round of silence, with only the sound of the wind whistling outside.

After a long while, Chen Xinli finally heard that familiar voice again, "Before I met your family, I couldn't stand the rough life I had lived for several days.

At that time, I felt that I was blind and deserved to be treated well by everyone;

But when I regained my sight and witnessed the misery of the world with my own eyes, I realized that the world had become like this.

I hope I can make some changes for the people.”

Chen Xinli was moved by the boy's fiery courage and said admiringly, "You can do it."

The boy looked directly at the girl, his throat welling up, his heart filled with a thousand words, which eventually condensed into one sentence, "Thank you for believing in me!"

After saying this, the young man once again looked solemnly at the girl in front of him, and said with regret: "I know that my father is absurd, and the Lirong Alliance could have been avoided, but the reality is already like this.

What Aqi said was true. Not only were the people outside the palace like captive animals, but the people all over the world were no different.

I hope that one day, the people of our dynasty will not only have enough food and clothing, but also have the courage to resist the enemy and regain the lost territory."

Hearing the young man's ambitions, Chen Xinli felt inexplicably moved for some reason.

Looking at the young man again, he raised his head again, tears welling up in his eyes. He said with great restraint:

“I had no confidence, but then I met you.

Ali, you are like a god sent from heaven to save me.

You saved me and told me that the future would be bright.

I see the light, but I don’t see the bright days, so I am determined to create it with my own hands. You...are you willing to help me?

The boy's sincere confession made Chen Xinli's heart warm. She didn't expect that her casual words of comfort would cause such a big wave in Jiangyu.

There was silence for a while.

Chen Xinlicai said, "I'm just an ordinary person, I can't help you."

"No, Ah Li, you are not ordinary, you are not an ordinary woman, you..." Jiang Yu explained anxiously, "I... I really think you are the fairy sent by God to save me."

The boy's speech was incoherent and his face flushed red.

Feeling the sincere emotions of the person in front of her, Chen Xinli paused, then pointed to the handwriting on the table and said softly: "Forget it, I don't understand much else."

“It’s just that right now, your arrangement of laws is too messy.

Last year, there was a severe drought in the north, and floods occurred frequently in Shu during the summer. It is not even March yet. If the people continue to rely on the grain stored in the Shu Palace, the granary will be exhausted before May.

Prince Qi said that cats will catch mice when they are hungry.

The same goes for the common people; as long as the court supports them, they will be more motivated to cultivate their own land.”

Seeing Jiang Yu listening to him with a happy face.

Chen Xinli continued, “By analogy, water conservancy, farming, breeding, and planting are all related to people’s livelihood and are of paramount importance, so people need to be assigned to handle them.

Furthermore, the Jiancheng County Pass was of paramount importance when Shu was lost this time.

If the people are organized to go to the city walls to repair them and they can exchange their work for daily food, there won't be so many thefts.

Also, is there a cure for this plague? Do doctors need to be trained? Do children need to be taught by teachers? How can commerce in Shu be restored?

All kinds of things, including food, clothing, housing, transportation, and every aspect, need to be prioritized and arranged into a plan one by one.

There are so many things to do, we can't mess around, we have to do them bit by bit. Since His Royal Highness the King of Shu doesn't care... since you have the heart, then take your time and do it well.

Jiang Yu stared at Chen Xinli's mouth opening and closing, noting every movement.

It was his first time to formally come into contact with government affairs. He had many ideas in his mind, but there was a big gap between theory and practice.

In the past, he was troubled by eye disease, so he just randomly wrote down the teacher's teachings without understanding their true meaning.

Although Xu Huaihe was there to assist him, and he could occasionally call the King of Shu to discuss things together, he was still confused.

We need to assign people to handle everything, but it always feels like something is missing.

"Yes, priorities."

"Thank you, Ali." The boy's eyes were as bright as autumn water, and the impression of the girl in his eyes became more and more profound.

A month later.

The policy of recuperation in Shu was gradually implemented, and the prefectures, counties and states began to gain popularity.

The people are busy building houses;

Some are busy cultivating the fields and clearing wasteland;

Some weave and spin at home;

Some responded to the government's call to dig canals, build roads, and repair city walls;

There are still peddlers walking the streets, and many food and wine shops have reopened;

In a certain town, the sound of Lang Lang reading once again echoed...

The spring sun is setting and it is getting dark.

Nothing happened that day, so Jiang Yu was dragged out of the palace by Chen Xinli and Jiang Qi.

The carriage clattered along.

The sound of pedestrians talking and laughing could be heard, and Chen Xinli felt more relaxed than ever before.

When the carriage reached Chaoyang Street, several children decided to get off and walk around for a while.

Looking at the crowds on the street, the hawking of vendors, and the aroma of various street foods, Jiang Yu also felt like taking a breath.

"Ali, thank you." Jiang Yu took a bite of the candied haws that Chen Xinli handed to him and said solemnly.

Chen Xinli knew there was something behind his words.

The young man looked nervous every time he expressed his gratitude, so Chen Xinli gave him a big smile in return, "As long as we provide the people with a stable environment, they will prosper on their own."

"You did a really good job!" Chen Xinli looked straight into his eyes.
