soon.
The imperial court then dispatched people to begin constructing houses on a vacant plot of land in the suburbs. Meanwhile...
The imperial edict was also issued.
The people gathered around the city wall and examined it closely.
What does it say on this?
"His Majesty is going to solve the problem of the lives of the homeless."
"The Emperor said he wanted to build a large courtyard in the suburbs, with many houses to accommodate everyone."
"Homeless people can register at the government office."
"If you meet the criteria, then you can check in."
"But that doesn't mean you can eat and drink for free after you move in."
"Only people who are completely incapacitated can be cared for in this way."
“Those women who are able to move around have to cook for themselves.”
"If you want to earn some money to supplement your household income, then you can choose to take care of those paralyzed elderly people."
"Families with sons can stay until they reach adulthood. Once they reach adulthood, if their sons are able to support themselves, they must leave to find another way to make a living."
"In families with daughters, after their daughters get married, they can choose to leave with their daughters or stay here."
The people heard this.
They all nodded in approval.
"Your Majesty's move is excellent."
"This is for the sake of us homeless people!"
"With such a wise emperor, we no longer need to worry about being homeless!"
"I heard that this was the little princess's idea, but the emperor used it."
"It seems that the little princess is really clever. Knowing that we are suffering, she came up with a way to help us."
"The little princess is at the soup kitchen now!"
"We should thank the little princess properly."
The group quickly walked up to Ye Qianqian.
He knelt down before Ye Qianqian.
"Thank you, little princess!"
"The little princess is so intelligent; it's a blessing for us people!"
Ye Qianqian immediately replied.
"Everyone, get up. It's freezing cold, don't catch a cold."
"It will take some time to build the shelter, so please make do in the backyard of the prefectural government office during this period."
"Once the shelter is repaired, it will be around springtime, and everyone will have a place to live then."
"Thank you, Princess Xie."
Ye Chen watched this scene unfold.
I was naturally happy.
She really is a little lucky star.
The problem that had been troubling the Emperor for so long was solved very easily.
At the same time, it will not allow these suffering people to feel that they can reap the benefits without sowing.
Although accommodation can be arranged for them, they still need to do their work.
There is no such thing as a free lunch.
Otherwise, more and more people will pretend to be all alone and come here to freeload and wait to die.
The imperial court will not support such idle people.
Only by truly taking action can you have a good life.
Zhou Yanyan watched this scene unfold.
I feel terrible.
Why should I?
She spent so much money to help so many people fill their stomachs.
Why aren't these people kneeling before her anymore?
Instead, he knelt down to thank the little princess repeatedly.
Because I was very angry.
Zhou Yanyan was no longer so concerned about making porridge.
But Ye Chen didn't let her off the hook either.
He said to Zhou Yanyan.
"Although the funds for building the shelters are allocated by the imperial court, many ministers have already contributed their efforts to this cause."
"Even the concubines in the harem took the initiative to contribute money to help."
"The Imperial Noble Consort took out 10,000 taels of silver, and Consort Jin took out 8,000 taels of silver."
“I also contributed five thousand taels of silver.”
"I believe Miss Zhou won't be stingy either."
Zhou Yanyan was devastated.
The Third Prince.
Are you treating me like a money bag?
I can give you money anytime you want.
Ye Chen knew, of course, that Zhou Yanyan was pregnant.
He also knew that Zhou Yanyan would definitely take out the money in order to win his favor.
really.
Zhou Yanyan said.
"Since it concerns the people, I will naturally not be stingy with my help."
"Third Prince, rest assured, I will definitely help you out."
"I'll go back and see if there's anything else I can sell."
Ye Chen said this deliberately.
"Actually, you don't have to force yourself. If you have difficulties, you don't need to take out any more money."
"You've done more than enough."
Oh dear, is the Third Prince starting to feel sorry for me now?
This proves that my plan went absolutely perfectly!
{Hehehe, perfect timing! I'll strike while the iron is hot and make it seem like I've put in a tremendous amount of effort, bringing out all my things! That way, His Highness the Third Prince will pity me even more!}
{Then I'll use my charm technique. Once the Third Prince falls for me, my charm will naturally come in handy. This time, I'm sure His Highness will be completely captivated!}
Zhou Yanyan immediately said.
"I always feel that I haven't done enough."
"It hurts me more when the people suffer a little!"
"I wanted to put my mind at ease, so I thought I'd do something for the people."
Then Zhou Yanyan left.
Ye Qianqian deliberately said this to Ye Chen.
"Third brother, how long do you plan to keep lying to her?"
Ye Chen said it casually.
