Princess Yuye, who was always talking nonsense, didn't know what to say. However, when she actually walked out of the main gate, she found herself in a completely different place. Although it was not prosperous, everyone looked very busy.
They all had their own things to do, and each of them seemed to have a glimmer of hope in their eyes.
Looking at the paved road beneath her feet, Chu Yuye said with slight surprise, "I didn't expect that the road in your small village would be so well-maintained."
Ning Ye smiled slightly, "Your Highness, there are still many things waiting for you to see. Let's take our time and see them. Perhaps we can surprise you."
This was Chu Yuye's first time stepping out of the mansion, but she found that the outside world was completely different from the poverty and backwardness she had imagined.
Although I don't understand some things, building houses with Chu Yuye's leaves is not something that just anyone can afford. After all, it requires a lot of manpower and resources, yet the entire village looks like this.
Moreover, the most direct feeling is that there are just too many people here. There are tens of thousands of people in a single village, which is terrifying to anyone.
After all, given the current situation, it's common for a village to have several hundred people, and even a village with only a few dozen people can probably be considered a village.
Ningye had taken in these refugees several times before, and basically no refugees died here, except for those who died due to force majeure.
Even so, the vast majority of people are still able to live well. The total number of people in the entire Green Plum Village has now reached 12,000.
After touring the entire Qingmei Village, Chu Yuye couldn't help but exclaim, "It seems the world isn't completely rotten yet. I never imagined there would be such an excellent place."
Ning Ye and Chu Yuye were currently occupying the largest square in Qingmei Village. Looking down from here, one could not help but feel a sense of pride, as this was the highest point in Qingmei Village, offering a panoramic view of almost the entire village.
Ning Ye suddenly asked, "What did the princess think after seeing this place?"
Chu Yuye said sincerely, "Before I came out, I was indeed afraid of seeing those people who were displaced and suffering, but now it seems that my considerations may not be so pessimistic."
Ning Ye sighed deeply, "Princess, you have only seen this part of me, but how many people in this world are currently in a state of displacement and unable to control their own destiny?"
"Why would Young Master Ning say such a thing? Just the fact that you're in a different place is already enough to give you a clue. Is there something I haven't noticed?"
"Your Highness, on your journey back to the capital after you leave me, I believe you will see much more. At that time, I hope you will consider what you can do for the people of this world."
Chu Yuye said with some doubt, "You mean this is just an exception, and people in other places are still living in misery?"
Ning Ye said, "It's difficult for one person to change many things. These people are all refugees from all over the country. If it weren't for me, they probably wouldn't have survived until now. But Princess, you also need to know that I can't save everyone."
Although he had already seen all the beautiful things, Ning Ye naturally wanted to take Chu Yuye to see the less beautiful things. Of course, when leaving Qingmei Village, he would take guards with him, in case anything happened to the princess, Ning Ye would be held responsible to the death.
Ning Ye's elite army once again caught the princess's attention. After all, such an elite army was extremely rare even in the capital, or perhaps there were no truly decent elite troops left in the world.
After seeing what Ning Ye wanted to show him, Chu Yuye fell into deep silence. Indeed, some things should not be blinded by appearances, otherwise you will not be able to recognize what this so-called reality is.
Villages that had experienced snow disasters were completely abandoned after a period of neglect, and such villages were everywhere. Even towns had their share of abandoned villages because they simply had no way to deal with these situations.
They either have to leave their hometown or try to find a secluded place to live in the cold winter, but the chances of that are very slim, because most people will just freeze to death.
When Chu Yuye returned to Qingmei Village, he suddenly realized just how different and important this place was to the local people.
If every place in the entire dynasty could be like Green Plum Village, how could the dynasty not be strong, and how could it be plagued by internal and external troubles?
Chu Yuye said with a slightly heavy heart, "From the very beginning, Young Master Ning intended to keep me here for today, right?"
Ning Ye nodded and said, "There's really so little I can do. Many things have to be done by you, or rather, by your brother."
Chu Yuye's expression suddenly turned serious. "You'd better not have any improper thoughts, or I will never let you off the hook."
As the most favored princess, Chu Yuye had a sickly younger brother. Among the royal children of this generation, this younger brother was not young; he was already the second prince.
However, due to his physical condition, it was almost impossible for him to compete for that high position. Even so, the other princes would not appoint anyone who might threaten them.
If Princess Yuye hadn't been so favored, her younger brother might have already perished at some unknown time.
Princess Yuye's biggest weakness was her younger brother. After all, after losing their mother, no one knew whether her father truly loved her or had other intentions.
Ning Ye said calmly, "Some things can't be avoided by hiding. No matter how much you compromise, you can't escape your fate in the end."
Chu Yuye's tone turned icy, "Young Master Ning, do you know that it would be no exaggeration to say that your entire family is now on the verge of extinction?"
"Of course I know, but so what? Life and death are not important to me. I only care about whether I can do something meaningful. As for whether to believe or not, it's all up to you."
Chu Yuye looked at Ning Ye with surprise and uncertainty, not understanding what this man was going to do.
