Nangong Jiu didn't even think about it.
[These are all things that can be eaten and used. You can take them back to the capital, or give them to those in need.]
"That's right, it's yours now, you can do whatever you want with it."
The end of Chen hour.
The group went out.
Just like taking a walk, you can walk through the streets and alleys, and go deep into the small alleys and lanes where ordinary people live.
After visiting several families and seeing their food, clothing, housing and transportation, he stopped in front of a yard.
Liu Hao walked forward and started talking to a few elderly people who were sitting at the door chatting.
"A few old people, chatting?"
The old people looked at the group cheerfully and responded with a smile: "From your accent, you look like you are from other places?"
"Well, we are from the capital, and we are here to visit relatives in Gong County."
The old men suddenly became excited: "Have you ever seen Princess Dingguo?"
Nangong Jiu scratched his head and laughed.
Liu Hao smiled and nodded: "I have seen it."
The old people hurriedly asked mysteriously, "I heard that they are blessed by the gods, is that true?"
“It’s true!”
The elders were delighted to receive a positive response: "That's great, our Gong County is the princess's fiefdom, the gods will naturally protect us.
Young man, you have the opportunity to give our regards to the Princess."
Liu Hao looked down at the little man in his arms, who was looking proud with his tail raised.
"No problem! Excuse me, do you have any difficulties that you would like me to convey to the princess?"
The old people waved their hands repeatedly.
"No, no, now we have food to eat, clothes to wear, and good officials to support us.
Compared to the people in other counties, we are much better off. We should not be too greedy."
"Old man, what does your family do?"
The old people rushed to answer: "My son and daughter-in-law run a small specialty store."
"My child works as a handyman in a pharmacy in the city."
Liu Hao casually asked the elderly family member who ran a business, "What kind of business do your son and daughter-in-law do? Is it easy?"
"I run a small grocery business, and the business is pretty good. It can support my family."
"How much tax do we have to pay each year?"
"One ounce of silver."
"It's less than a hundred coins a month, so the taxes aren't that high."
"Well, it's not high. The neighboring county has to pay two taels of silver a year."
Liu Hao nodded, then asked the elderly family whose child worked as a handyman, "How much can your child earn in a month?"
"Five hundred wen per person!"
"At the end of the year, a person could earn six taels of silver."
"Well, for an ordinary family like us, six taels of silver is already a good income, and we are very content."
Another old man continued, "My daughter and son-in-law work in a charity hall, cooking and washing clothes for the children. They can earn one or two taels of silver a month."
"That's good."
"Yes, the children cherish this job very much."
During the chat, I have basically understood the living conditions of the people.
Nangong Jiu listened attentively in Liu Hao's arms, and counted on his fingers from time to time.
Just when everyone was chatting happily, someone ran past from not far away.
"Hurry up, let's go take a look. I heard it was burned down..."
Liu Hao gestured to the secret guards in the dark.
After a while, the secret guard found out the reason why everyone ran away.
"It's said that a family surnamed Guo, who made candles, was burned by a fire from the sky last night, and they went to watch the excitement."
Nangong Jiu twisted his body when he heard it: "Kang Kang..."
Liu Hao smiled and stood up to say goodbye to the old people.
The group followed the crowd and not far away they saw a ruin.
[Oh no! It's all burned down. I can't do anything bad now, right? Serves me right! This is what happens when you do bad things!]
Liu Hao leaned close to Nangong Jiu's ear and asked softly, "Did you do this?"
[It’s not me, it’s not me, it’s the way of heaven! ]
Nangong Jiu shook his head like a rattle and denied it flatly.
After denying it, he added.
[However, this is also due to my contribution. I said that these unscrupulous businessmen should be forced to become beggars instead of doing any harm, hehe...]
Liu Hao tapped Nangong Jiu's nose.
"This one was burned down, what about the others?"
[I really don't know, it's definitely not going to end well.] Nangong Jiu wiggled her little butt in delight.
Who made them band together to steal the workshop's business and hinder it? They've prevented the workshop from selling anything worth a penny for nearly a month.
【All the things the children made were piled up in the warehouse.】
The workshop is about to close. What will happen to the thousands of children there? What about the thousands of children at the charity center?
"I'm right! They have lost their consciences, so they should be punished and made to beggars too!"
[I'm going to tell Magistrate Zhang that the charity hall won't accept them. Humph!]
Liu Hao poked Nangong Jiu's puffed cheeks: "You're quite vindictive!"
[Yeah! If I don't seek revenge, I'm not Ben, not Ben!]
Liu Hao suppressed his laughter.
"Then are you being a little partial? The children are your people; they are also your people."
That's different! The children are already pitiful enough. To survive, they support themselves with their own hands and do not harm the interests of others.
[And they bully the weak with shady means for their own benefit.]
"Isn't it said that business depends on one's ability?"
[Everyone relies on their own abilities and seeks their own sales channels, rather than trying to steal others'.]
Listening to Nangong Jiu's endless stream of truths, Liu Hao stopped teasing her.
"Okay, don't be angry. You are not wrong, and the children are not wrong either. They are the ones who are wrong. They broke the rules and they should be punished."
