The abandoned wife married into a wealthy family, and the scumbag father wailed every night

"Your Majesty! This... this road... this road is so wide and flat!"

Zhang Yuanliang's weather-beaten face showed a cuteness that was inconsistent with his appearance!

He stared with big eyes, looking at the magical road in front of him with curiosity!

Wang Yu, the king of Linyue State, was also shocked as he looked at the road in front of him which looked like a painting!

He just felt his heart pounding, and he had a hunch that his people were saved!

As the carriage gradually drove into the territory of Yanjing, the number of carriages and pedestrians on the road began to increase.

Wang Yu met many people fleeing famine along the way. Compared to other places, the closer he got to Yanjing City, the more smiles there were on the people's faces.

There is a kind of expectation and yearning for life in their eyes, and the vitality and joy emanating from them are also impossible to see in ordinary people in other places.

"Such a smile seems unbelievable in such a famine year."

Wang Yu muttered to himself.

As the king of Linyue Kingdom, he experienced several famines in his life.

Naturally, he knew how desperate the people were when facing famine. It was not that he, as a monarch, did not want to save his people.

But there is no food at all in years of famine. If the famine lasts for a short time, the country can still hold on.

But when faced with a long-term famine, selectively starving some people to death is an inevitable choice...

There is so much food and everyone needs to eat it, how can it be enough?

Their Linyue country has begun to strategically abandon some of its people.

The relief food would not last long, and he was worried that even if he gave up some people it would be of no help. So he decided to take the risk and come to Yanjing to see if they were really the only ones favored by the gods!

It's not like he hadn't thought about launching a war to fight for a chance of survival for his people.

However, Linyue State ruled the country with culture. In recent years, he has been focusing on developing culture and neglecting the military. If war comes, their Lu State will only be beaten!

It was all his fault because he thought that their Linyue Kingdom had a rugged terrain and was easy to defend but difficult to attack, and he only thought that other countries could not invade, but he ignored the fact that one day their Linyue Kingdom might need to fight out to seek a way out.

"Master, look at the words on the city wall!"

Zhang Yuanliang pointed at the words on the city wall in the distance and said to Wang Yu.

"You are a Yanjing person now. Yanjing welcomes you!"

Wang Yu looked at the words on the wall and read them out silently.

The tall city wall is twenty meters high, and its hardness and coldness show how inviolable it is!

And under the city wall, there are actually four wide city gates!

The city gates on both sides seemed to be used for transporting some goods. People coming in and out were all burly men, and there were horse-drawn carriages carrying things coming in and out constantly!

The two middle gates seemed to be open to the common people, and pedestrians and carriages entering the city lined up in an orderly manner.

There were also yamen runners beating gongs and drums nearby. At this moment, they were standing on a high place and saying something passionately to some ragged refugees. They looked like they were working very hard!

As the refugees listened to the words of the officials, they showed expressions of shock, ecstasy, or suspicion, which made them look like the big bad wolf trying to fool the little sheep!

The scene is full of vitality and hope, making people feel as if they have entered another world!

This world is full of beautiful yearnings for life, without hunger, cold or war!

Everything here seems so unreal!

Wang Yu and Zhang Yuanliang stood at the city gate in a daze, not knowing what to do.

"Hey, hey, hey, you two, get out of the way. This is a registration office for refugees. If you are not refugees, go to the side and line up to pay your silver to enter the city."

A yamen runner saw Wang Yu and Zhang Yuanliang standing at the refugee registration office and came over to remind them.

It’s not that this yamen runner has sharp eyesight, but the looks of Wang Yu and Zhang Yuanliang really don’t look like refugees.

In addition, there were a dozen or so people behind them who were obviously martial artists.

Therefore, the yamen runner naturally regarded them as wealthy businessmen who came to Yanjing to do business.

"My dear brother, with so many refugees entering the city, won't it cause chaos?"

Zhang Yuanliang glanced at Wang Yu, grabbed the yamen runner, stuffed a silver ingot into his hand, and asked curiously.

"I can tell from the looks of it that this is your first time in Yanjing City! With the Crown Prince and Crown Princess here, there won't be any chaos in Yanjing!"

The yamen runner habitually bit the silver ingot with his mouth.

There are many wealthy businessmen coming to Yanjing recently, and he can receive such a silver ingot from time to time!

I have gone from being very nervous at the beginning to being used to it now!

"Look! Those are our prince's personal guards, the Black Armor Guards! Do you see the gleaming swords in their hands?"

"I tell you that knife is very powerful. With just one swing, it can chop a stone into two pieces! Whose bones in this world are harder than this stone?"

"Who dares to mess around?! Snap! The head will fall off!"

As the yamen runner spoke, he exaggeratedly made a gesture of wiping his neck!

Wang Yu and Zhang Yuanliang were both startled and touched their cold necks.

Is there really such a powerful weapon in this world?

"Is there enough food in this city?"

Wang Yu stared at the yamen runner closely, this was what he wanted to know most.

"Enough! Our Crown Princess is from the Xie family, the most prestigious family! I heard that the Xie family's food reserves are enough to feed the people of Da Deng for ten years!"

The yamen runner became even more excited when he talked about this!

It was only after he had been worried for a long time that he was sure that the Crown Princess could really provide enough food to keep them from starving!

"Alright! Alright! Take your household registration and license plate and follow me now! I'll take you to the city to handle the formalities first, and then take you to see the house."

On the other side, a yamen runner was beating gongs and drums, and shouting to a group of refugees who were pushing carts and carrying bags!

Wang Yu and Zhang Yuanliang looked at each other and followed.

Entering the inner city, Wang Yu felt like he was dreaming. The wide and clean streets and rows of neatly arranged courtyards seemed full of vitality and vigor even under the cold sun!

The street vendors were working hard to sell their wares, and there were people trying hard to drum up business in front of the surrounding shops!

"Master, it looks like these people are buying supplies for their new home."

Zhang Yuanliang whispered to Wang Yu.

Wang Yu also looked at the people who were carrying iron pots, shovels, and cloth.

Their eyes were full of excitement and joy, and some even stopped to buy a meat bun or a sesame cake to take home!

"Take a look, take a look, even the Crown Princess praised this mutton soup! It's sour, spicy and delicious, I guarantee you'll want a second bowl after one!"

A small vendor is shouting hard!

A woman behind him was skillfully stirring a steaming pot, which emitted a fragrance that Wang Yu had never smelled before.

"How much does a bowl cost?"

Wang Yu asked tentatively.

"A large bowl costs five cents, and a small bowl costs three cents! I guarantee you'll have enough to eat!"

When the vendor saw the customer coming, his eyes narrowed into a line with a smile, and he quickly cleared the table and chair for him to sit down.

"Sir, do you want a large bowl or a small bowl?"

“Two large bowls.”

Wang Yu hadn't reacted yet. As the king of Linyue Kingdom, no one had ever dared to pull him.

The small vendor was not frightened by his aura at all.

Wang Yu lowered his head. What does this mean?

This shows that the common people here are not afraid of the government or the nobles, and it shows that the rulers of Yanjing City have given these common people enough sense of security.

Let them free their hands and feet to do things!
