"I won't tell anyone about the Prime Minister's affairs, and..."

Lin Jing looked at Bai Tan'er beside him and said, "I don't need you to swear, but you also know the Prime Minister's temper. If you dare to spread rumors everywhere, even if you are a member of the royal family, His Majesty will not be able to protect you."

"cut."

Bai Tan'er rolled her eyes, but quickly calmed down.

Indeed, Gu Yanqing was fearless and even Emperor Jianping could not do anything to him.

Moreover... Gu Yanqing's martial arts skills are unfathomable, Bai Tan'er is far from being his opponent. She even suspects that her grandfather cannot beat Gu Yanqing.

and so……

"Don't worry, I really won't say anything nonsense, and I'm not asking you to tell me anything. You see, I just happened to pass by today and saw it. Just let me...look at it for a while longer, that's okay, right?"

Bai Tan'er decided to settle for the second best.

She is definitely going to watch this big gossip scene!

Why can Lin Jing watch but she can’t?

"What's so good about it. You..." Lin Jing wanted to say something else, but in the snack shop not far away, Jiang Jiang and Gu Yanqing had finished their snacks, paid the bill and were walking out.

"They're coming out, they're coming out!"

Bai Tan'er let out a low cry, and followed Lin Jing from a distance.

Lin Jing: ...

There were people coming and going on the streets of the capital. Bai Tan'er didn't dare to follow too closely and stayed far behind.

In the crowd, Jiang Jiang and Gu Yanqing walked forward. As they walked, they stopped at the same time.

"that……"

Jiang Jiang looked back at the crowd around him and whispered, "Do you feel anything strange? It seems like... someone is following us?"

It’s just that Bai Tan’er’s eyes were too passionate. Even though they were so far apart, Jiang Jiang could still sense it.

Gu Yanqing was also stunned at this moment. He didn't expect that Jiang Jiang could actually sense Bai Tan'er's presence. Then...

Where is Lin Jing?

"I feel the same way. Come with me."

Gu Yanqing said as he grabbed Jiang Jiang's arm, then took her into a small alley. After turning several corners, the two of them quickly left Bai Tan'er behind.

When Jiang Jiang came to her senses, Gu Yanqing had already brought her to a rather dilapidated street.

"It should be safe here."

Gu Yanqing released his hand, and Jiang Jiang looked at him curiously: "You are so familiar with the streets and alleys of the capital, you are like a human map!"

Gu Yanqing just smiled. He had walked through the streets and alleys of the capital city step by step, so he was naturally very familiar with these alleys and paths.

"By the way, where is this place? Why are there such shabby streets in the capital?"

Jiang Jiang looked around curiously at this time. This place was not much better than the outer city. It was hard to imagine that there would be such a thing in the inner city.

"This is the slums of the capital, and it's also where the lowest classes gather."

Gu Yanqing sighed softly as he spoke, "Even in a prosperous and wealthy city like Kyoto, there are places like this in ruins. What about other cities outside of Kyoto? How many people in Qingyun Kingdom are still living in dire straits?"

"Qingyun Country is so big, there are naturally many poor people." Jiang Jiang casually added, "In some places, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. Local officials are used to being local tyrants and exploiting the people. No matter how wise Your Majesty is, or how hard-working Prime Minister Gu is, they can't take care of everyone in the world. Human power is limited, and it's beyond their ability!"

Hearing Jiang Jiang's words, Gu Yanqing was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously muttered: "So what?"

"If we want to change the status quo and make Qingyun Kingdom truly prosperous, it cannot be done by one person or one generation." Jiang Jiang thought of his past life and the generations of martyrs who gave their lives for the prosperity of the country.

"Just like Prime Minister Gu's new policies, they are facing numerous obstacles in their implementation. In some places, they are simply impossible to implement. His power alone is too small. Even if there are people who support him, those people are too small compared to the number of people in the entire Qingyun Kingdom."

Jiang Jiang spoke with emotion. After saying this, she laughed at herself and said, "Ah, why are we talking about this?"

"What you said makes a lot of sense. I didn't expect that even though you're a woman, you know quite a lot."

Gu Yanqing, who was standing aside, looked at Jiang Jiang with a serious look in his eyes: "If you were Prime Minister Gu, what would you do?"

"I?"

Jiang Jiang was stunned. She didn't expect Yan Chong to ask this question.

but……

Jiang Jiang had actually thought about this question, and even had the answer in his heart.

"Prime Minister Gu wants to implement new policies and bring prosperity to the people. He has a broad vision and lofty ambitions. I admire him very much, but in this era, his ideals are just ideals and will never work. If it were me... I would..."

As Jiang Jiang was speaking, she saw two scantily clad little kids running quickly past on the street. She subconsciously said, "Start with the kids!"

Start from the baby?

Gu Yanqing was stunned.

"The prosperity of a dynasty requires not just the efforts of one person, but the efforts of generations. Rather than being a fleeting firework, it is better to be a kindling, passing the flame down from generation to generation. One day, a single spark can start a prairie fire!"

When Jiang Jiang said this, it seemed as if countless stars were twinkling in her beautiful big eyes.

A single spark can start a prairie fire!

Gu Yanqing stared at the girl in front of him in a daze. At this moment, Jiang Jiang was no longer the little girl who knew nothing in his eyes.

original……

She also has such great ambitions in her heart.

At this moment, Gu Yanqing's heart seemed to be shaken. He felt that he had finally found it...

A true fellow traveler.

"Been taught a lesson."

Coming back to his senses, Gu Yanqing bowed solemnly to Jiang Jiang.

"Hey, don't be so serious. I'm not used to it. I was just... talking nonsense. Don't tell anyone else!" Jiang Jiang pushed Gu Yanqing beside her with an embarrassed look on her face: "Let's go!"

As she spoke, Jiang Jiang took a step forward. Gu Yanqing followed Jiang Jiang quietly without saying a word.

Not long after the two people left, Bai Tan'er caught up with them.

How come these two people run so fast?

Prime Minister Gu is so cunning!

Bai Tan'er stamped her feet in anger, carefully identifying the direction, and then continued to chase...

At this time, Gu Yanqing and Jiang Jiang were almost at the end of the slum. Along the way, they met many beggars. Those beggars were unkempt and dirty. They just looked at them from a distance and did not dare to really approach them.

Because Gu Yanqing is very tall, he can give people a lot of pressure without them noticing.

"They can't enter the market during the day. If they are caught, they will be beaten to death. Only after nightfall will they sneak into the market to find food." Gu Yanqing told Jiang Jiang about the things in the slums as they walked.

He seems to be very familiar with this place...

Jiang Jiang's heart moved——

Could it be that Yan Chong also...

Jiang Jiang didn't think further, but subconsciously grabbed Gu Yanqing's sleeve.
