Chapter 544 Did you just pinch me?

Everyone followed and walked forward together.

As they walked, the expressions on the faces of the court officials became more and more surprised, especially the chancellor of the capital city, who was arguably the most shocked.

He knew the young imperial master's fiefdom very well.

At the beginning, when the emperor conferred the title of Defei, he proposed to grant her a piece of land.

The chancellor of the capital city was worried that he would be the first to be shot.

When the emperor showed favor, the chancellor of the capital city took the initiative to propose the fiefdom of the young imperial teacher. The reason was simple: this place was very desolate.

Not only was the land barren, but the people were also extremely poor. Their clothes were worse than those of the beggars in the capital of Daxia. Moreover, these people were very afraid of horse-drawn carriages. When they saw them approaching from a distance, they would run away and hide in the rectangular adobe houses behind the woods.

But his wife was not happy and secretly told Concubine De about it.

I don't know what method my daughter used, but His Majesty actually summoned him privately and proposed to exchange land.

The chancellor of the capital city was terrified at the time. On the one hand, he was angry at his wife for holding him back, but on the other hand, he did not dare to disobey the "good intentions" of the emperor. After kowtowing desperately, he chose a piece of better unowned land next to the young imperial teacher's fiefdom.

Because of these ups and downs of emotions, the chancellor of the capital city has always had an inexplicable concern for this piece of land.

He clearly remembered that a year and a half ago, this place was extremely desolate, the common people were all pale and thin, and a family might not even have two pairs of pants.

Yet, only a few days have passed.

On the muddy and barren land, there appeared dirt roads roughly planned with granite, and the original thatched houses were turned into adobe houses.

He could clearly see that there were dozens of foundations in the shape of something new planned on the nearby site, with tiles, wood and some red soil everywhere.

The most important thing is the mental outlook of the people here.

Although the clothes of men, women, old and young were still tattered, the expressions on their faces were obviously much more energetic.

They no longer cowered and numbly hid in the grass. With rhythmic commands, several men holding sledgehammers were pounding the foundations, and many people were carrying bundles of huge logs to press the ground. From time to time, women with red cheeks held wooden spoons and sprinkled water on the dusty ground.

Occasionally, if a naughty child ran up to the house laughing, the woman would hit him on the head with a wooden handle and yell at him not to come over and cause trouble.

The Prime Minister of the Capital City really couldn't believe his eyes.

Is this still the desolate place in his memory?

The Minister of War looked at him for a while and suddenly said, "As expected of the Little Imperial Master... To be honest, I am surprised that the Minister of Revenue did not intend to lure the Little Imperial Master to the Ministry of Revenue."

Shao Zhanshi cast a speechless look over: "How is that possible?"

The Prince's tutor suddenly laughed and said, "The Junior Secretary is wrong. The Minister of Finance did mention it, but it was refuted by His Majesty."

…

The three royal children walking in front heard nothing of the conversation behind them.

They were all mesmerized by the lively scenes before them.

Prince, he recalled the numb, restrained and poor Da Xia on the march two years ago, and then looked at the energetic people here.

The prince couldn't help but sigh: "Xiaojiu, I am so grateful to you."

This place is like a miniature of Daxia, and it feels very hopeful just by looking at it.

Yuan Ruan looked back in confusion: "Huh?"

The prince suddenly laughed again and changed the subject naturally: "Let's go, let the prince take you to catch the bad guys. Where are they?"

Yuan Ruan subconsciously pointed to the small stone buildings in front of him and nodded: "Okay. It's there."

Then, she got goosebumps all over her arms: [Help! My nephew, who used to be so kind and steady, did something bad happen to me just now? Did he see something good?]
