In fact, this is the first time the little zombie has seen the sea.

She had seen stinking rivers and lakes when she was wandering, but this was the first time she saw the sea.

"So beautiful!"

The group found a seaside fishing village to stay.

Xia Ruoyin was the best at painting. She painted the scene from the beach photo on the portrait.

Especially the big rocks on the seashore, which are copied very vividly.

Then Qi Yuan sent people with several portraits to split into several groups to start investigating.

Have you ever seen the person in the portrait? Do you know where the place in the portrait is?

Murong Yue and his companions rested here for two days.

It was the first time for Lieyan and Yunteng to see such a big pool. They chased the waves at the beach and had a lot of fun.

Murong Yue squatted on the shore, picking up shells in the sand.

Yan Qinghe was holding a small basket beside her to put her spoils.

"Yue'er, don't worry. If we can't find it here, we can look somewhere else."

Murong Yue nodded, "Yes, I'm still so young and have plenty of time."

"If I can't find it this year, I will go back to court for half a year and then come out again."

“It’s like this every year until we find it.”

Murong Yue is very optimistic. Zombies have a long lifespan, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

The reason why she was so persistent in finding her parents was because she always thought she was an orphan.

Even if you find your parents, just spend one day with them.

She is happy too.

Yan Qinghe's eyes were filled with heartache.

His parents have passed away, and his longing for them has been suppressed in his heart as time goes by.

Seeing Murong Yue searching so hard, he couldn't tell for a moment whether he was more miserable or Murong Yue was more miserable.

Anyway, they are just two poor little ones.

He thought that if His Majesty returned to the capital to handle state affairs, then he would return to the border.

Then when His Majesty is about to come out, I will follow him.

He will always be with His Majesty.

"Well, I will always be with you."

"Thank you then~"

"Let's go catch some fish."

Murong Yue put the small basket on the ground, took off her shoes, and dragged Yan Qinghe to the river to catch fish.

Qi Yuan, who was not far away, immediately asked someone to follow.

These people were all transferred from the capital by him.

As we went along, more and more manpower was needed.

He had taken away almost half of the imperial guards.

Moreover, this place is at the seaside, so he specially asked Xuanzhou prefect Cui Yixiang for a group of people.

He is familiar with the situation in Yue State, can speak the Yue dialect, and is good at swimming.

Watching His Majesty and Yan Qinghe running along the waves, his heart tightened.

Do these two know how to swim?

But he soon gave up worrying.

Murong Yue is fast and strong, and Yan Qinghe is also a master.

Even if you can't swim, you can run away from the beach with ease.

Finally, Murong Yue’s small basket could no longer hold all the fish she had caught.

The two of them came back with wet trouser legs.

Murong Yue smiled happily and shouted, "Qi Yuan, find someone to teach me how to swim!"

Qi Yuan: ...

Fortunately, I was prepared.

After returning to the small courtyard where they were staying, Master Ji and Li Daniu began to pack the fish they had brought back.

The aroma of fish fills the yard.

Murong Yue took a bath, sat under the eaves, and let Ah Hao wipe her hair.

"Master, this wind is all salty, even your clothes smell like fish after washing."

She was afraid that Murong Yue would not be used to it.

Murong Yue nodded, "Indeed, do I look like a fisherman now?"

Speaking of fishermen, she suddenly had a question.

"Yan Qinghe, isn't Yue a very rich country? The teacher said Yue also produces grain."

“But after watching all this, why do I feel that people’s lives are so hard?”

There are also wealthy people who are glamorous and handsome, and they are indeed more grand than those powerful people in Qing Kingdom.

But how many rich people can there be?

Ordinary people, who make up the largest proportion, seem to live in poverty.

Ordinary people in big county towns wear patched clothes and buy meat in large quantities of two taels.

They came all the way here, and even in a small county town in Qing State, the common people only wore torn clothes when they were working.

It's usually neat and tidy.

Also, when buying meat, I always buy it in large chunks.

How can there be such a big difference?

Yan Qinghe looked through the courtyard gate and towards the sea level in the distance.

"Yue State is rich, and its money and land are concentrated in the hands of a few people. These people control most of Yue State's wealth."

"It was the same in the Qing Kingdom in the past. It was the efforts of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, as well as many court officials, that changed the status quo little by little."

"The Emperor allowed the existence of powerful and noble families, but limited the number of noble families who could serve as officials in the court, as well as the amount of land per capita."

"As a result of various tax policies, the rich and powerful and the aristocratic families have high status, but no real power."

“Without real power, there are limited means to amass wealth.”

"And those wealthy businessmen learn from childhood that the country is rich and the people are strong, so they can make more money."

"After decades of education, people's mindsets are changing."

Murong Yue nodded, "Father and mother are really amazing."

"do you know?"

"It was only after I came to Yue that I realized how useful the common people could be, and how cheap human life was."

"I feel like the officials here have a kind of..."

The little zombie, who is now proficient in human language, still hasn't found a suitable adjective.

After a long moment, he continued, "There is a kind of malicious intent."

"They don't treat ordinary people as human beings, trample on their dignity, and rob them of the fruits of their labor."

"It seems that except for the royal family, officials, and rich people, no one else is worthy of being called a human being."

"Yueguo...is like dead."

Yan Qinghe and Qi Yuan, who was not far away, widened their eyes when they heard Murong Yue's words.

They didn't expect that His Majesty could express such profound truths in simple language.

The State of Yue adopted the strategy of exhausting, dumbing down and weakening the people.

That is to say, the people are forced to keep farming, they are not allowed to access knowledge or learn, and they cannot afford medical treatment.

The common people were very tired, and most of the output from the fields went to the powerful and wealthy families.

Such people are just means of production, they have no ideas and naturally will not resist.

The strength of the Yue State was built on this foundation.

It’s different from Qingguo.

At this moment, Murong Yue felt that she seemed to understand everything Li Xuanji had taught her.

It's amazing.

No wonder they say that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles, and traveling thousands of miles requires a famous teacher to guide you...

Missing the teacher...

After dinner, Murong Yue took Yan Qinghe to the beach again.

She collected a large basket of various fish, seaweed, shells, conchs, etc., whatever was available.

Ask someone to send it back to Li Xuanji.

Now that we are far away, and this is not the territory of Qing Kingdom, the news is not so frequent.

Memorials and messages were changed to be delivered every three days.

Li Xuanji was worried, so after discussing with Qi Yuan, they set up secret contact points along the way as Murong Yue moved.

Ensure that the message is delivered.

So the fish that Murong Yue caught personally arrived at Li Xuanji's palace on time three days later.

"Master Imperial Master, these were all sent here with sea water, and they are still alive."

Li Xuanji felt very warm inside.

He really wanted to raise all these things, but unfortunately, they were marine creatures.

He can't support himself.

After observing for half a day, it was handed over to the imperial chef.

Murong Anle was lucky as he arrived just in time for dinner and smelled the incredibly fresh scent of fish as soon as he entered the door.

"grown ups!"

"What's delicious? It smells so good."

Li Xuanji said calmly, "These are the seafood that your majesty sent back from the Tiannan Sea of ​​Yue Kingdom."

No matter how you listen to it, the tone is full of boasting.
