Emperor Wu of Xia felt the fire rising from his body. He thought that in the next second, this little girl would be beaten severely. The kind of beating that would make her bloody and mangled.
"Daddy, just let her try." Wanwan pouted, "Otherwise, she won't know how hard I work every day."
When Emperor Wu of Xia heard Wanwan's words, he suppressed his anger and softened his tone.
He randomly picked up a memorial that he had read but not yet annotated and threw it to the Sixth Princess. "Take a look at this. How should I respond?"
The Sixth Princess wiped her tears in grievance. This was her only chance and she had to fight for it.
If she could enlighten her father, perhaps the fate of her and her mother would be reversed.
She looked at the memorial carefully. God, she had never come across such a thing in her life.
She actually has the chance to get involved in politics in this lifetime? Great!
However, when she saw the words in the memorial, she was really shocked.
"Father, this is just a report about the rain in Philadelphia. It's been raining for a month straight. Well... just reply 'I understand'. What's so great about reporting rain? This memorial is just to fill up the word count."
Hearing this, Emperor Wu of Xia took a deep breath. This anger, he really suppressed again and again, felt that if this girl didn't disappear, her butt would be beaten to a pulp today.
"Wanwan, come and take a look."
When Emperor Wu of Xia looked at Wan Wan, his eyes instantly became gentle. He ordered someone to go over, pick up the memorial and hand it to Wan Wan.
Wanwan watched for a moment and sighed slightly, "This rain has been going on for a month and it will cause serious landslides. If it continues, it will damage crops and affect the harvest."
"But fortunately, it's clearly written below. Minister of Revenue Dai Qingshan has been directing the construction of canals across the country. For now, there's no need to worry about crops. The safety of the people should be prioritized."
Wanwan looked at Emperor Wu of Xia and said, "Dad, just remind them to pay attention to the safety of the people. If there are houses collapsed in the area, help the people rebuild them in time. Remind the people living at the foot of the mountain to pay attention to their personal safety."
After hearing these words, Emperor Wu of Xia was also extremely impressed. When he read the memorial, the first thing he thought of was the problem of crops, and he had not thought of the landslide.
He also had not yet considered the issue of people's houses collapsing.
We are only worried about the people's food problem, but we forget the other aspect.
Even the eunuch beside her couldn't help but nod in agreement after hearing these words. The little princess truly cared about the people of the world.
Emperor Wu of Xia sighed and took a sip of tea to calm himself. "Did you hear that? It was your sister Wanwan who taught me to analyze problems from all angles. To govern the country through memorials. To always pay attention to people's livelihoods. Do you know where you are lacking?"
"Father, I think what my sister said is wrong."
The Sixth Princess said innocently, "How could the people's houses collapse? Our palace houses won't collapse even if it rains for two or three months. And how could the mountain collapse? It's impossible."
"puff……"
Emperor Wu of Xia didn't know whether he was spitting out tea or old blood. Why is it that even though they both live in the palace, he can understand the suffering of the people every night, while this little girl seems to only care about vying for favor?
"Father... am I wrong?"
The Sixth Princess pouted, not knowing where she had gone wrong.
“Sister, because the materials used to build the houses of the common people are not as good as those of the imperial palace, there are still many houses with only one roof, and the surrounding area is made of firewood or straw.
The pillars are not replaced for decades, so they will become soft after being soaked in water for a long time, and the joints will slowly break, and then they will fall down.
The roof tiles haven't been replaced in ages, and many of them leak. Sometimes, when it rains really hard, the house is completely filled with mud, leaving no place to sleep.
Wanwan said it all in one breath, and couldn't help but think of the scenes in her previous life.
[Alas, this was sometimes the case in the Taoist temple where my master and I lived. Later, as the incense gradually grew, things got better. Alas, at that time, I really wanted the country to come to my rescue.]
Hearing this, Emperor Wu of Xia was heartbroken. No wonder this child could understand the suffering of the world better than he could. It was not Wanwan who told her this, as an emperor, that it was really difficult for him to understand the helplessness of the people.
As an emperor, he is sometimes the lifeline of the people.
The Sixth Princess was in disbelief. She thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. "But why didn't they replace the pillars? These people are so lazy."
Wanwan rubbed her forehead and said, "I don't have money, sister. Replacing the pillars requires a lot of manpower and material resources, all of which require money. Moreover, the pillars are made of wood, and wood needs money to buy. Many people don't have land, nor do they have wood."
"Why don't they have money?" the Sixth Princess asked. "Isn't there anyone giving them money?"
Wanwan didn't want to explain the Sixth Princess's naivety and stupidity at all, and she felt like she was on the verge of collapse.
[I'm giving up on saving this guy. He's screwed. He doesn't seem to understand anything. He's like an idiot.]
Emperor Xia Wu also collapsed on the spot. She sighed, "Fu Yue, go back."
"Father, what did I say wrong?" The Sixth Princess still refused to give up.
"Get out! Get out!"
Emperor Wu of Xia roared, his eyes flashing crimson. The Sixth Princess was so frightened that she crawled out.
Seeing her leave, he felt a little relieved. The eunuch immediately handed her tea, and after two sips, he calmed down. If it weren't for his own daughter, the Sixth Princess would probably never leave the imperial study.
Wanwan also sighed, "Daddy, the princes and princesses in the palace actually think this way. Do they still think that if the people don't have food to eat, they can eat meat instead?"
When Emperor Wu of Xia heard Wanwan's words, he felt a little ashamed and said, "I have decided to compile some folk stories and print them for these princes and nobles to read carefully.
Otherwise, they always feel that the people live a more carefree life than they do.
Let Dai Qingshan do this job, he should like it. It would be best to record some stories of honest officials and ordinary people for future generations to learn from. What do you think, Wanwan?
Wanwan laughed twice...
[It's time to find a few more high-ranking officials to replace my father, otherwise, Minister Dai will die suddenly from overwork.]
Emperor Wu of Xia curled his lips, feeling a little embarrassed. No way, didn't I also read memorials every day before, often working all night long, and I'm still alive?
My dad must be thinking, "Isn't he still alive after working so much overtime every day? He should be able to continue to exploit the great Qing official. What a bastard! If he's not dead, then beat him to death. If he's dead, I'll see who you'll punish next."
