After taking a few steps, Li Che glanced at Huai En beside him and said softly:

"Ask whatever you want to ask, don't make yourself sick."

"Your Highness is wise." Huai En said quickly, "But I have doubts in my heart."

Li Che smiled faintly: "But I want to know why I left that 'vulgar word' and let that mother-in-law hang it out, causing the world to laugh at me?"

"If you can't leave behind a famous quote that will be passed down through the ages, you should at least leave behind a few elegant words, so that a good story of your kindness can be spread."

Huai En lowered his eyebrows and said, "Your Highness is the wisest one. This is what I think."

"You..." Li Che shook his head. "Is it true that this prince can't write poetry? Lines like 'Closing the book in the West Chamber, I sigh at the beauty of the world, while delicious food is about to be dyed red.' Don't such beautiful lines come out easily?"

Huai En looked shocked.

Although I have long known that His Highness has literary talent, he once wrote a poem "沁园春·雪" that amazed everyone, and occasionally he also wrote popular lines.

But seeing His Highness speak eloquently without thinking, such intuitive talent made him even more afraid.

The art of poetry, which scholars and scholars have spent their entire lives pursuing, His Highness can do it effortlessly. It seems that there is nothing in this world that His Highness cannot do.

"After all, poetry is for those cultured people to listen to..." Li Che paused, with a smile on his face, "I forgot that you are also a cultured person now."

Huai En lowered his head quickly and said he didn't dare.

Li Che didn't care and continued, "But how many cultured people in the world would drink a bowl of tofu pudding at a street stall?"

"People who come here to drink tofu pudding are just ordinary people. How can they understand poetry? No matter how beautiful the words are, they are not as meaningful as the word 'delicious'."

Huai En couldn't help but compliment him, "Your Highness is kind and loving, and loves the people like his own children. If this matter gets out, and with Your Highness's personal letter here, that mother-in-law will surely have no shortage of guests in the future, and will have no worries about food and clothing."

Li Che shook his head and sighed softly, "People should have enough food and clothing, so why should we talk about mercy? If the people under your rule don't have enough to eat, it's the monarch's fault. I'm just making up for it."

Huai En's heart was shocked, and the guards were also moved when they heard this.

Are people born to have no worries about food and clothing?

Although Huai'en entered the palace since he was a child and had never experienced a life of lack of food and clothing, he also knew the suffering of the people.

Daqing had just been founded, and it was time to restore people's livelihoods. Even in peaceful years, even without encountering natural disasters or man-made calamities, the vast majority of people still did not have enough to eat.

However, throughout history, no monarch would say that it was his fault that the people could not have enough food and clothing.

Even the current emperor...does not have such a broad mind.

Huai En couldn't help but murmured, "Will there really be a day in this world when everyone can have enough food and clothing?"

Li Che smiled slightly and didn't reply.

Yes, brother, some...

In my own world, although it cannot be said that all the people in the country have no worries about food and clothing, there has been no case of starvation to death for a long time.

On the contrary, some humanoid creatures who yearned for the so-called "free life" happily changed their nationality and ran away to other countries.

It turned out that the life there was not as free and beautiful as described on the Internet. I couldn’t even afford to eat and ended up starving to death in my rented house.

It really does feel like tit-for-tat.

Li Che said with some emotion: "It will be soon. Fengguo will be able to do it soon. And the key to this matter depends on you."

"Look at me?" Huai En was incredulous. "I'm just a eunuch. How could I do such a big thing?"

"Why not?" Li Che raised his eyebrows.

"If you can bring back these 'treasures' from overseas for me, you can alleviate the suffering of the people. Even if you can't ensure that all people in the world have enough food and clothing, it will still be a blessing to all."

Huai En's breathing has become rapid.

"By then, your merits and virtues will no doubt be no less significant to future generations than those of wise rulers throughout history. Even if the people erect a statue to worship you, that would be just as it should be."

Huai En was stunned.

"How dare this servant... How dare this servant have such presumptuous thoughts?"

Li Che just continued to move forward: "Don't think too much about what to do, just follow your heart."

He did not think that the so-called wise and holy kings really had such great merits.

The emperor's achievements are too complicated. Every emperor throughout history has both merits and faults. He has promoted the development of history, but also left behind hidden dangers.

As for morality, there is no need to mention it. The personal morality of the emperor is disgusting. Even benevolent emperors like Han Wen and Song Ren, who were praised to the sky by civil officials, had many moral flaws.

Not to mention Li Shimin who "killed his brother and married his sister-in-law" and Emperor Gaozu of Han who liked to "use eunuchs as pillows on his knees".

The person who introduced sweet potatoes to China was named Chen Zhenlong, a businessman from Fujian.

This Mr. Chen brought sweet potatoes back to China, and how many people have been fed by sweet potatoes? His merits are enough to crush 90% of the so-called wise emperors!

Huai En was stunned by Li Che's words. He was so stunned that he went to the medical camp before he came to his senses.

The medical camp was extremely busy, with female soldiers in white coats and robes running around covered in blood, and dozens of doctors were transferred from the city to help.

Even so, there was still a shortage of manpower, and even Hua Changan came to help.

Seeing Li Che, the guard at the door hurriedly bowed and saluted.

The female soldiers and doctors also saw Li Che, but they just glanced at him and then went about their business.

If it were in any other government office, such disrespect towards His Highness would at least be a crime of disrespect.

But this is just the norm in the medical camp. Not to mention Li Che coming, even if the Jade Emperor came down to earth, he would have to wait obediently for them to finish their work.

Not only did Li Che not care, he also walked carefully on the side of the road, for fear of blocking the road.

With no one leading the way, Li Che took a lot of effort to find the exhausted Chang Ningxue.

Chang Ningxue had just walked out of a tent, her face full of fatigue. When she saw Li Che, she was startled at first, then she said hoarsely, "Your Highness, do you have any water?"

Li Che reluctantly took the kettle from the guard beside him and handed it over personally.

Chang Ningxue took off the lid of the pot and drank it down in one gulp.

"Drink slowly, don't choke." Li Che said softly, "How is the situation?"

Chang Ningxue licked her lips and took a breath. "The situation is not good. More than half of them are infected. We can only rely on herbal medicine to keep them alive. Whether they can survive depends entirely on fate."

Li Che frowned.

The medical resources in Fengguo are already very good. I have "invited" many doctors along the way from the imperial capital.

There are also female soldiers in the medical battalion, who have mastered basic first aid knowledge and understand some simple medical skills.

Even so, trauma is still difficult to treat in this day and age, as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Especially for traumatic infections, only surgery and antibiotics are truly effective treatments.

Hua Changan and many other doctors have already begun studying surgery. Li Che had previously found several extremely heinous criminals for him to dissect, but with little success.

The development of antibiotics has also been slow.

After all, modern medicine is an extremely complex subject. Li Che only knows some scientific knowledge, not even the basics. Everything can only be explored by doctors on their own.

"Just do your best." Li Che sighed, "I'll ask the guards and veterans to come and help. They also know some basic bandaging techniques. If the injuries are not serious, just leave them to them."

Chang Ningxue nodded: "That's very good."

"By the way." Li Che took out a letter from his arms, "This is a letter from your father to you."

Chang Ningxue took it doubtfully, but heard Li Che say softly:

"It all depends on your opinion. Please give it some thought and tell me whether you are willing or not."

"I'll leave first and not disturb you from working."

Li Che's words left Chang Ningxue confused. After Li Che left, she tore open the envelope and read it at a glance.

"This...Father actually asked me to..."

A shy blush gently stained the woman's cheeks, like the first bloom of the morning glow.
