An old woman wiped her tears and walked over with her grandson. She held Yun Ruoyue's hand and choked on her sobs.
"The Princess of Li, you and His Highness are really good people.
Thank you, we haven't had a full meal for several days.
My husband is starving to death. My grandson ate Madam Wei's rotten steamed buns yesterday and had diarrhea for the entire day.
Fortunately, he was able to eat a mouthful of your hot porridge today. His life was saved. Thank you! "
The others also walked over and said with red eyes, "That's right, The Princess of Li. You're pregnant and yet you're still giving porridge. You're a living Buddha.
Thank you for saving our lives. I'll kowtow to you! "
After everyone finished speaking, they all knelt down and kowtowed to her.
Yun Ruoyue was frightened by this scene. She quickly walked forward and helped everyone up. "Please don't be so courteous. Don't be like this.
I'm only giving everyone a bowl of porridge. I really didn't do anything. I'm not worthy of your courtesy. "
She never thought that the people would be so grateful when she and Chu Xuanchen only gave them a bit of porridge.
What a lovely and down-to-earth people.
If she had the ability, she definitely wouldn't let them go hungry.
As a modern person who had never been hungry before, she really couldn't bear to see these people live so bitterly. This scene was really sad.
She really hoped that the country of Chu could prosper and the people could live in peace.
"No, Princess Consort. You don't know that we're about to starve to death.
When we're on the verge of death, we can still eat a mouthful of porridge. We're really satisfied and moved.
I'm leaving this steamed bun for my grandson to eat tomorrow! "
The old woman wiped her tears as she spoke.
Yun Ruoyue also felt so bad that she cried. She quickly stuffed a steamed bun into the old woman's hand and said, "Don't worry. His Highness and I will send people to give porridge for another six days, seven days a day.
His Highness will soon go to Jiangnan for disaster relief. We will definitely stop the flood and let everyone return to their homes. "
"Thank you, Princess Consort. You're the best.
Yesterday, Official Gao said that he couldn't buy good rice and noodles, so he gave us rotten porridge.
We really believed him. We never thought that it was fake.
The Emperor of Li was able to buy it, but he couldn't even buy it with a few million taels of silver. It turns out that the money was embezzled by them. "
"That Lord Gao is just a hired thug. The one who really embezzled the money is the Madam of Wei, and maybe the Empress as well!"
"In any case, they are all in cahoots. Previously, His Majesty didn't think about disaster relief and only knew how to pray for blessings.
Perhaps he allowed the empress to embezzle the money. "
"If that's really the case, then this Emperor is really too much! He is the ruler of a country, how can he treat the common people like this? "
Speaking of this, everyone missed the Qingyun Emperor from more than a decade ago.
When the Qing Yun Emperor ruled the Chu Kingdom, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Although they were not rich and noble, no one had ever been so miserable.
Why is it that the lives of the common people are becoming more and more difficult?
Hearing everyone's words, Yun Ruoyue sighed in her heart.
Ever since the flood, other than asking Chu Xuanchen to raise money for disaster relief, Hongyuan Emperor had not really helped the people solve their problems.
However, other than the fact that Hongyuan Emperor disregarded their lives, the common people were starving.
Another point was that the current productivity was extremely low.
Whether it was the production tools, seeds, or irrigation methods, they could not be compared to modern times.
If there was a chance, she wanted to teach everyone modern farming and irrigation techniques, as well as greenhouse planting techniques and other advanced production techniques. Perhaps they could increase grain production.
That way, the common people would not go hungry.
