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

It has been like this since ancient times, that the previous generation plants trees and the next generation enjoys the shade. They are just enjoying the shade left by their ancestors. What have they done wrong?

Resources are limited. If the right to take the imperial examinations is possessed by the common people, the rights of their aristocratic families will inevitably be squeezed out.

But paper is so cheap, the spread of knowledge is only a matter of time, and they can't stop this trend anyway!

The more they thought about it, the more disappointed and depressed they became. They instantly lost the mood to enjoy the food.

Emperor Wende and his entourage watched as it became dark, yet the streets were still bustling with people, and soldiers patrolled from time to time to maintain order.

These soldiers looked different from the arrogant soldiers in other places. They seemed to have a harmonious relationship with the people and even paid honestly for their food.

This is rare in other places. Even Emperor Wende has to admit that the city of Yanjing is really different from other towns.

.........

"Crown Prince, Crown Princess, we have discovered a spy from the Linyue Kingdom!"

Qingming and Canglang reported to Feng Junyi and Xie Yiyao with a nervous look on their faces. It was not that they were suspicious, but these people really did not look like businessmen!

If they were not businessmen, then their behavior of wandering around Yanjing City all day long would be very suspicious, especially since Da Deng and Lin Yue had just fought a war.

Although they have already negotiated, who knows if they will regret it again!

In their eyes, Xie Yiyao is their mistress, another master, so they will not avoid Xie Yiyao when reporting anything to Feng Junyi. Sometimes they even slowly develop a habit of reporting to Xie Yiyao even if they can't find Feng Junyi.

"Send someone to keep an eye on what they are doing, and leave the rest alone."

Xie Yiyao thought for a moment and said.

"Princess, we need a lot of labor in Yanjing now. Why don't we take this opportunity to attack and kill the old people and children of Linyue Country, leaving the young and strong people to be our slaves. In this way, we can quickly reclaim the wasteland in Yanjing."

Qing Ming pondered for a moment and gave Xie Yiyao some advice.

"That's a good idea. We can capture all the women of Linyue Country and assign them to soldiers or civilians without wives, so that they can give birth to children for our Great Deng!"

Canglang also made the proposal with excitement!

Xie Yiyao looked at Qingming and Canglang helplessly, without any intention of blaming them.

Because she knew that the war custom on this continent was that the victorious country would kill the elderly and children of the defeated country and take away their women.

Then they branded the young and middle-aged men of the defeated countries as slaves and turned them into their slaves.

This is the operating rule of this era, and they are just following the convention.

"Your suggestion can indeed add a large amount of labor to Yanjing in a short period of time. They can also provide us with a large amount of labor in a short period of time under the suppression of force."

"But this approach is not conducive to the long-term development of Yanjing. Besides, the happiness of the people of Dadeng cannot be built on resentment. Resentment can only bear the flowers of evil. Sooner or later, someone will pay the price for it. We can't just focus on the present and ignore the future."

Xie Yiyao shook her head and rejected their proposals straightforwardly.

It is easy to suppress by force, but this continent belongs to all mankind, not just the people of Da Deng. Everyone has the right to live.

Besides, Xie Yiyao had never thought of killing anyone. She had seen too much blood in the apocalypse and didn’t want to experience it again.

"Then are we just going to let them wander around Yanjing City?"

Qingming and Canglang looked puzzled and looked at Xie Yiyao with confusion.

"No, we have to find a way to make them cooperate with us."

Xie Yiyao said directly, "Their coal resources in Linyue are the most abundant. The most important thing is that their coal is anthracite, which is as pure as black gold. It is not stained by touch, burns without smoke, and the embers turn into ash. It has a very high calorific value."

This kind of coal is the silver charcoal in our charcoal fire. It is the best quality coal with extremely strong fire power and burns longer.

"If we can cooperate with Linyue, we can use their high-quality coal. Linyue also has many scholars and patriots. We in Great Deng are in urgent need of talents in this field."

Xie Yiyao continued.

When she decided to implement nine-year compulsory education, she began to think about the issue of teachers. However, the more knowledgeable teachers in Deng were all controlled by aristocratic families, who were simply unwilling to teach the people to read and write.

So, just when she was worrying about how to break the impasse, Linyue Country came to her door!

"Master... let's go back. If someone finds you, you'll be in danger!"

A young boy looked around vigilantly, then spoke to Wang Yi anxiously.

"If you're scared, go back."

After Wang Yi finished speaking, he entered Hefenglou, the largest restaurant in Yanjing. The reason why he came in was not because this restaurant was the largest, but because the aroma wafting from this restaurant was so tempting!

In the face of national crisis, he has been eating simple meals for several months, and he must have eaten too much today!

As soon as Wang Yi entered the hall and saw the dazzling food on the diners' tables, he couldn't help swallowing.

"Waiter! Let's get a good private room and give me one portion of all your special dishes!"

"Okay! Sir, please go upstairs!"

The waiter led Wang Yi to the second floor with a smile!

Wang Yi looked at the unique design style of Hefenglou with a fresh look on his face. This Yanjing is really full of surprises, even a restaurant is so unique.

Looking at the diners downstairs who were happily drinking wine, eating delicious food and chatting and laughing, Wang Yi felt a little dazed. Does such a world really exist?

Can the people really live happily like this?

"what!"

The young boy shouted loudly and looked at his master with some grievance.

"Master, why are you pinching me?"

Wang Yi looked guilty: "I just want to see if I am dreaming."

After hearing what Wang Yi said, the boy’s face showed even more grievance. If you want to see if you are dreaming, just pinch yourself!

"Master! Your spicy crayfish!"

The waiter came in with a large plate of spicy crayfish and did not forget to teach Wang Yi how to peel the crayfish.

When the young man heard that the food had to be eaten with his hands, he immediately became unwilling.

"Master, how can you eat with your hands? This is a barbarian move, not befitting of your status!"

The waiter burst into laughter when he heard this:

"Gentlemen, this crayfish can only be tasted with your hands to appreciate its deliciousness! There is a hand-cleaning pot here, please wash your hands and start eating! I guarantee you will never forget it after eating it!"

"Let me tell you, this restaurant belongs to our Crown Princess. The chefs in this restaurant all learned their skills from the Crown Princess! You should be happy to be able to taste the cooking skills of our Crown Princess!"

The waiter said this without paying any attention to the two stunned people and turned away.

Wang Yi looked at the waiter's back, and said to the young man in disbelief:

"Who did he just say the chef in this restaurant learned his craft from?"
