A man jumped out from the crowd. He had a tall and thin body, dark skin, slender limbs, but a slightly bulging belly.
The accent is a bit strange and the tone doesn't sound like that of a Dazhao person.
He must have fled from the State of Chu. Looking at his clothes, although they were not covered in mud or dust, they were very old.
They look so much poorer than the people in Dazhaozhou County, and there is a huge difference between them and the people in the capital.
The fist hit the faces of the people who were fighting with each other like a meteor.
Although he was so thin, he seemed to have endless strength and was about to beat several people to death.
"Stop hitting me, please spare my life." The man who was hit by the hammer felt dizzy and didn't know what was going on.
Begging for mercy repeatedly.
"Die!" Old man Liu didn't care no matter how many people came to stop the fight.
He sucked with all his might.
Instead of eating good food, you waste it.
So many people wanted to eat but couldn't get any, and they still had to exchange the relief food for dozens of people for money.
Is this how the kindness of the little deity was wasted?
Isn’t the little immortal the prince of Dazhao?
Why can't you just obey His Highness's orders?
"You heartless creature! I've been digging for food in the fields for forty years, and I know that a person should be grateful and repay kindness! If the little immortal were born in the State of Chu, who among us wouldn't worship him?"
"If your Highness's heart is chilled, he will no longer protect the people!"
"Have you all forgotten who was running around during natural disasters?"
"Who saved you from suffering and fear? Who saved you from being helpless? You don't know how to appreciate the blessings you have." The old man Liu became more and more hateful as he spoke. What he said was all the truth.
Some of these words were spoken by the scholars when he was on the run.
If Your Highness was a Chu citizen, how could the Chu State have fallen to such a state?
The tax rate is 50%, the county government takes 10%, the subordinates take 10%, and 10% is given to the master.
Even after working hard in the fields for a year, I still can't support a family of three.
It’s so painful!
God knows how shocked he was when he arrived in Dazhao, and how he envied the people of Dazhao.
He had come all the way here, sleeping in the open air and bringing his little granddaughter, wasn't it just to see the prince?
Who would have thought that I would meet such heartless people.
Old man Liu spat again.
The majestic imperial guards, with big swords on their waists, pretended to take sides, causing Old Man Liu to kick those men hard again.
"Please take a seat, old man." The emperor walked out from behind the little fat boy, and the coldness in his cold eyes seemed to melt away.
Some people who were in turmoil felt even more embarrassed, and couldn't help but worry that His Highness would really be disappointed in them.
Now that I see Your Majesty come forward, I thought Your Majesty would severely punish this old man who spread false rumors to mislead the people.
Who knew that His Majesty would treat me with such courtesy.
The emperor took everything in without making a sound. He first asked someone to sit down, and then asked Wu Zhonghe to bring a plate of food.
Old man Liu enjoyed scolding, but when facing His Majesty and the Crown Prince, he was like a dull club, unable to hit them at all.
He just stammered and ate with his granddaughter while crying.
The emperor personally pushed the cup over and asked, "Old man, have you been farming for forty years?"
Old Man Liu told His Majesty everything he knew, "In reply to Your Majesty, I have been digging for food in the fields since I was thirteen years old, and now I am fifty-three..."
"Old but still strong."
A trace of nostalgia appeared on Old Man Liu's dark face, and he touched the shriveled face of his granddaughter in his arms.
There was a hint of tears in his voice: "I have only one son in my life, and he is honest and simple. My wife is also capable, but those beasts are not human. My sons, from fifty to twelve years old, were all taken away by the government to perform labor service, and they never came back."
"My daughter-in-law soon died of grief, and my husband cried himself blind and fell. I was out doing farm work, and when I came back, my body was already stiff."
"I want to go too, but what about my granddaughter? This worthless creature is getting more and more energetic as it grows older. It's eaten so much dirt, but it's not dead yet!"
Old man Liu pointed to his belly, even with a hint of joking.
But no one could laugh after hearing it.
No wonder he was so angry when facing those people. Anyone who had the same experience as him would not be able to survive.
After hearing this, Emperor Mingxi said thoughtfully, "Old man, why don't you go and seek a living under my son? He is looking for a skilled farmer."
Everyone in the world knows that Your Majesty has only one son.
Old man Liu stood up in fear and trepidation, waving his hands repeatedly: "I dare not."
The fat boy had been listening quietly until this moment, when he loudly replied: "There are different levels of learning, and different skills have different specializations. The old man has been farming for forty years, so he must have harvested something. If you don't dare, then why should I need other farmers?"
"I am from Chu. This, this."
"I treat everyone equally under heaven."
"Little Second is despicable..."
"Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers of different races?"
When the little guy said this, he had extraordinary confidence.
Such words were actually spoken by a child, the crown prince of a country!
"I am the king of destiny, please help me, old sir."
The little fellow looked solemn, and seriousness was written all over his tender face.
Anyone could see that he was not lying.
Having said this, Old Man Liu felt excited, his blood boiling and his heart pounding.
He couldn't say anything, so he had to pull his granddaughter to kowtow to His Highness several times.
The little fat boy helped him up himself and immediately sent someone to invite the queen.
The emperor looked at his child and was dazzled for a moment.
He originally wanted to stage a scene of buying horse bones for a huge sum of gold to let the people see what it means to obey the prince and prosper, while disobey the prince and perish.
But he knew his own son best.
Yuer respected the old man from the bottom of his heart.
His Majesty cannot do it, but he is proud of the little fat boy.
I am not as good as my son.
This father and son from the royal family always feel that they are inferior to each other.
When the queen heard what the prince said, she was overjoyed and personally welcomed Old Man Liu to the farm.
The thousand-meter-long dragon in Gyeonggi stared at the scene in amazement.
It’s just a step to success.
The crowd was surprisingly quiet, with people from various countries hunched over and afraid to speak.
They all straightened their backs quietly, with a look of pride on their faces.
The crowd that was originally scrambling became unexpectedly orderly.
"Is this what Yu'er wants to see?" The emperor approached the little fat boy and looked at the crowd with him.
The little fat boy nodded, but then shook his head.
His Majesty does not understand.
The fat baby whispered to his father, "Yu'er wanted to pretend to be unconscious at first, but things turned out this way and Yu'er didn't know it."
"Your Highness has received the order from Heaven."
The little fat boy's face flushed red. After a while, he said slowly, "Father, I know now that when the granaries are full, people will know shame, and when they have enough food and clothing, they will know etiquette."
“Sometimes it’s not up to them to choose between good and bad people.”
"What does Your Highness want to say?"
"Well, work hard on the land and make progress every day?"
