Chapter 542 Are You Willing to Help Me?
The sunset that day was beautiful. Shen Qingqian still remembered that scene many years later. She and Sheng Ze walked slowly back home from the planting base. When Mr. Mo saw Sheng Ze coming, he found an excuse to leave early.
Sheng Ze said a lot at that time. In Shen Qingqian's opinion, he was really just making small talk, but she remembered one of the things and kept it in mind for many years.
He said, "Qianqian, I don't want the people to live in uncertainty anymore. If one day I can get back what belongs to me, I will definitely promote sweet potatoes and the high-yield crops you are cultivating throughout Dajin."
This paragraph is a bit long, but the main idea can be summarized as follows: if Shengze became emperor, in addition to ensuring that the people had enough food to eat, he would also have to open up trade routes outside the customs, develop maritime trade, train elite navy, and so on.
Shen Qingqian was stunned when she heard this, and looked straight at Sheng Ze, wondering if he had also traveled through time.
But in a flash, she thought that he didn't doubt her despite her abnormal behavior before, so she shouldn't be a fellow villager who traveled through time.
After confirming this, Shen Qingqian was shocked. Sheng Ze had a very high level of ideological awareness and was very suitable to be the successor of socialism.
Sheng Ze suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Shen Qingqian calmly. His deep and mellow voice once again reached Shen Qingqian's ears, "Qianqian, are you willing to help me?"
Shen Qingqian stood there, a complex look flashing in her eyes. She lowered her eyes and did not answer immediately.
She is not a piece of wood, and Shengze's feelings for her seem to grow deeper even though she does not respond.
According to the thinking of people in this world, if she agreed, it would actually be equivalent to accepting his confession.
After an unknown amount of time, Shen Qingqian raised her eyes and looked him in the eye. "I am also a citizen of Dajin. I do everything within my power to make life better for me and my family."
The implication is that she is not helping him, but is doing it so that she can live a good life herself.
Before Shen Qingqian traveled through time, she was a teacher. She once had ideas similar to world peace and even wanted to become a teacher without borders and go to war-torn areas to support education.
However, as she grew older and saw more things, she came to understand one thing: no community of interests is so easy to defeat.
The fundamental reason why wars occur in modern society is that some people want to make money from wars. For their own interests, they provoke conflicts and incite wars around the world.
Of course, the uneven distribution of resources is also one of the main reasons, but that ultimately comes down to human factors.
In short, Shen Qingqian later realized that instead of praying for world peace, it would be better to do her own thing and live her life step by step.
Traveling to Dajin was something Shen Qingqian herself had not expected.
Her answer dimmed the light in Shengze's eyes for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal, raised his foot again, and said in a relaxed tone: "I will also make your life better and better."
The corners of Shen Qingqian's lips curled up slightly, and she said nothing more.
It took the Lin family seven days to till the land allocated to them, and then they came to the Shen family to borrow seeds.
"Sister, thank you so much for your full help, otherwise I really don't know how I would support this big family." Qi's eyes were slightly red, and she held Wu's hand tightly.
Mrs. Wu patted her hands and said, "Sister-in-law Qi, please don't say that. It's thanks to you that Yuanyuan and Yao'er are able to reunite with us. It's us who should take a good rest for you."
Now that the Lin family had settled down, Mrs. Wu also addressed her according to the local customs.
