When the Regent Princess kneeled, all the children in Beijing broke their knees.

Does being rich mean that people are content?

What a terrible concept! Greedy people are always greedy.

A greedy person will never be satisfied. Only a satisfied person can live a satisfied and comfortable life even if he lives in a remote corner.

"I..." Carnation was a little embarrassed.

After Jiang Yunchu applauded, everyone started to applaud. The applause that was sparse before had merged into a frequency and a rhythm in the end.

"You're right!" Jiang Yunchu affirmed her directly.

This child does not need to be hit, because she understands better than many people.

On the contrary, she needs encouragement and needs to be given confidence little by little so that she can grow into a towering tree and protect the people she wants to protect.

“The human heart is a very mysterious thing.”

"If there were no guards guarding our carriage, do you know what would happen?"

Everyone frowned, some lowered their heads in thought, and some looked at Jiang Yunchu.

"You won't steal things, will you?" Kang Wu didn't realize it when he asked the question himself, but after blurting it out, he remembered the scene of distributing the steamed buns.

No?

meeting!

A firm answer took shape in their hearts.

"What will happen to those people if we don't have guards around us?" Without waiting for their answer, she raised a new question.

The children looked at each other, and a terrible thought came to their minds.

"Children, I let you see the bottom, but I also let you see human nature."

"They are pitiful, but there are not many people who deserve your help."

"Purses lost on the streets, gold and silver lost at home, children lost in the alleys..."

She didn't say a word, but everyone's expression changed.

The people who originally felt sorry for them suddenly had other ideas. For a moment, it was very complicated and conflicted, and they didn’t even know what was right or wrong.

“Why did I protect the child?”

"Why would I warn those old men?"

“Why is it that the family still lives in the slums even though there are young and strong people in the family?”

Jiang Yunchu smiled and said, "These are your subjects. I don't need answers."

"The people who need answers are you."

She stood up and asked Ziwu to take the children to wash and change into their own clothes.

Then he asked the servants to deliver the items back to the people in each mansion.

In Yunyuan, Ning Hanmo and Ning Qiancheng were in deep thought, sighing and moving from time to time, as if they had ADHD...

Jiang Yunchu put down the book in his hand and looked at the two people. "Just say whatever you want to say."

Are these two people acting for her here?

On weekdays, he would go back to his room to read early, but today he refused to leave and just stayed here. It was obvious that he wanted something.

"Mother, should we help those people?"

Ning Hanmo and Ning Qiancheng looked at each other before asking the question that concerned them most.

They originally wanted to help those people, but they thought of what their mother said, that there were bad people among them, and some of them lived in the slums and were not innocent people.

Jiang Yunchu raised his eyebrows, "Do you want to help?"

Ning Hanmo glanced at Ning Qiancheng and motioned for him to speak, "We want to help, but we don't know how."

"We want to help those who need help, but we don't want the bad guys to take advantage of us. After all, our money doesn't come from the wind."

Compared with others, his status as a prince is the most honorable, but he is the most difficult one.

In his previous life, he had enough food and drink, but other days, he was worse off than the children in the slums. So he could understand their helplessness and wanted to reach out and help them.

"You are giving me a hard time!"

Jiang Yunchu pursed his lips and then tapped the foreheads of the two people.

Both of them showed a flattering smile, "Mom is the smartest."

Ning Hanmo was flattering him.

But Jiang Yunchu's expression changed. "This is a slum. There are many slums like this, and there are many places like this. You can save one, ten, but can you save a hundred? What about a thousand?"

She shook her head, her tone heavy and soothing in her voice.

"I have ways to help them, but it's just a temporary solution. We need to solve the problem from the root."

“Of course, they can be helped and need to be resettled.”

She first raised the question, but also affirmed the children's ideas.

"It's too difficult to cure the root cause." Ning Hanmo sighed. Despite his young age, he seemed to have a lot of troubles.

"Mother, how can we cure the root cause?"

Ning Hanmo looked at his mother. In his mind, this question seemed to be an unsolvable one.

It's like a tangled mess, I can't find the end and I have no idea at all.

Jiang Yunchu looked at the two children with amusement, "Of course it's difficult. His Majesty has spent so many years to get to this point. How can it be easy?"

"You mean?" Ning Qiancheng's eyes lit up.

He thought...

Jiang Yunchu smiled and said, "Your Majesty wants to solve this problem, but it won't be solved in one day."

"These require long-term impact, good officials who can enforce discipline, a full treasury, and stable borders."

“These all need to be done slowly.”

Her voice was very slow. She never minded talking about state affairs with the children, nor did she mind answering their questions. She would answer them as deeply as their questions could. She was not afraid that they would not understand. As long as it left the slightest trace in their memory, it would be helpful.

"But this situation is terrible. If the people are living in poverty, the throne will be shaky." Ning Qiancheng frowned and spoke out after thinking for a while.

While speaking, he looked around to make sure there was no one around before he spoke.

He is not an ignorant child. The reason he was able to survive in the palace is his eyes and his tolerance.

"It's much better now."

Over the past six months, she has learned about the local customs and cultures, the harvests in various places, the taxes and wars in various places.

The current situation is much better than it was ten years ago.

At the very least, the number of people starving to death on the roadside is decreasing.

"We Daning are just like children." Jiang Yunchu rubbed the two children's heads and spoke softly with a soothing tone.

"You have to be like me and give it time and a chance."

"You will grow up one day, and Daning will prosper one day."

"But...you are strong, Daning is strong."

If you are strong, then Da Ning will be strong.

Both children fell into deep thought. They could not change the current situation, but they could change it little by little through their own efforts.

"Mother, I seem to understand, but I also seem not to understand." Ning Hanmo answered directly.

The answer seemed to be right in front of him, but there seemed to be a layer of gauze between him and the answer, making it hazy and unclear.
