After picking up a lucky girl, all the beasts line up to come to your door

When Sang Ye and the other two saw Mu Baobao's body covered in mud, the veins on their foreheads throbbed.

"Baby, where did you get this outfit?" Hua Yun held her forehead with her hand. She was such a good little girl, but she looked like this as soon as she returned to the village.

Baby Mu looked down at his entire body and exclaimed, "Where did I get all these mud spots?"

"It was caused by Miss Mu stepping into a puddle." The guard said with a wooden face.

Baby Mu had a cute look on her face as if to say, "So that's how it is!" She said with a smile, "It's fun to step in the puddles."

"If you step on it, a lot of water will splash."

There is no love for health protection.

Hua Yun and the other two felt equally hopeless. The lovely little girl would be even cuter if she didn't do these things.

"Baby," Sang Ye squatted in front of Mu Baobao and taught him, "We can't step into puddles in clean clothes before we put on our dirty clothes."

"Look, washing clothes is very tiring, and there is a shortage of water right now."

"If you do this, it will make the maid very hard."

Only then did Mubaobao realize his mistake and bowed his head to apologize, "I'm sorry, big brother. I shouldn't have stepped into the puddle on purpose."

She had seen her grandmother and mother washing clothes and knew very well how hard it was.

Sang Ye touched her head and said, "If you want to step in puddles, just wear dirty clothes or unwanted clothes. It doesn't matter if you get dirty."

"Since it was your first mistake, I'll forgive you, but there can't be a next time, understand?"

Mu Baobao suddenly raised his little head, a smile on his face again, "Big brother, I won't do it again."

Sang Ye stood up and took her hand. "We are going to watch the villagers sow seeds. Baby, do you want to come with us?"

"Yes!" Mu Baobao said in a loud voice.

Sang Ye and the other two brought Mu Baobao to the field.

At this time, most of the farmers in Xingzi Village were busy in the fields.

It rained for a long time yesterday, it's a good time to sow seeds. At the very least, we should plant some vegetables and beans in the fields so that we don't have nothing to eat in the winter.

Everyone was busy with their own things, no one paid much attention to others, and no one noticed Mu Baobao and his friends.

Mu Baobao was quite familiar with these things. She pointed at the busy villagers and said, "Actually, we should have been sowing in the spring."

"It's just that these past few months have been too hot and rainy, and the crops in the fields have dried up. That's why everyone is rushing to replant now to have food to eat during the winter."

Sang Ye didn't quite understand and asked, "Baby, can't the villagers buy food in winter?"

Mu Baobao said, "It's not that we can't buy food, it's just that food is more expensive in winter."

"Besides, it's so cold in winter that it's inconvenient to go to town. Especially after it snows, few people go to town."

"It takes two or three hours to walk from the village to the town. The villagers are reluctant to spend money on ox carts, so they have to walk."

Shangguan Quan asked, "Why are you reluctant? Don't you have a carriage?"

Mu Baobao glanced at him twice more and said, "It costs a copper coin to ride in an ox cart."

"One copper coin can buy a piece of candy in town."

"Third Brother, you probably don't know how precious sugar is to the villagers."

"Before our family's life was not so good, we could not bear to eat sweets. We would only make a bowl of sweet soup to entertain relatives and friends."

Shangguan Quan and Sang Ye's three views were shocked. What seemed insignificant or very inferior to them was extremely precious in the eyes of the villagers.

Even something as ordinary as sugar is something that the villagers are reluctant to eat, and it is a good thing to entertain guests.

"For the first time, I felt directly that life is so difficult for ordinary people at the bottom of society." Shangguan Quan didn't know what expression to use.

Sang Ye agreed very much. "If I hadn't come to Xingzi Village, I wouldn't have truly understood the lives of ordinary people."

"Some people have it even harder," said Mu Baobao. "Some families can't even afford a single bite of food and have to rely on boiled wild vegetables for water."

"There aren't any in our village, but there are in other villages."

Shangguan Quan and Sang Ye took a deep breath and boiled the wild vegetables in water to eat as a meal...

Hua Yun had seen this before, so she wasn't that shocked. "So the common people's wish is to have enough food and warm clothes."

"For us, having enough food and clothing is a daily routine, but for ordinary people at the bottom, having enough food and clothing is a very difficult thing."

Mu Baobao nodded his little head, "Second Brother, do you think there is any way to change this situation?"

Hua Yun didn't intend to lie to her, "There's no other way."

"Second Brother, why?"

“Because there are too many people.”

"Too many people?"

Hua Yun elaborated, “The biggest problem is that there are too many people.”

"Look, baby, aren't ordinary people the majority? No matter where you go, you'll see the most ordinary people."

Mu Baobao bit his finger and thought about it carefully, "Huh, it really is like this."

Hua Yun spread her hands, "How can I help with so many people?"

"Give out money? Give out things?"

"Give out silver, where does all this silver come from? The national treasury doesn't have it."

"Even if the national treasury has it, it's impossible."

Mubaobao blinked, "What's the national treasury? Why is it impossible?"

Hua Yun said, "The national treasury is where the imperial court keeps its money, used for various purposes throughout the Rong Dynasty."

"For example, building charity halls, various expenses, building dams, etc., all of these require expenditures from the court."

"The silver in the treasury must be used where necessary and not indiscriminately. A portion must be kept so that it can be used when needed."

Mubaobao understood, "This is just like my grandma saving money."

Hua Yun couldn't help laughing, "That's about right."

"Also, if a large family were to bear the cost of this money, there would be too many complications involved, not to mention whether they could afford it."

"Unrealistic."

"Overall, the current situation is the best it can be. There's no war, the drought is being resolved, there are no major problems, and people can live and work in peace and contentment."

Mu Baobao said, "That's right."

Hua Yun touched her little head. The child’s idea was good, but she just didn’t take into account the many practical situations and problems involved.

Mu Baobao and his friends looked for a while and then walked back.

On the way back, Sang Ye found that there were few people in the village: "Are all the villagers busy working in the fields?"

"About the same." Mu Baobao jumped to avoid the puddles. "Even if they're not busy working in the fields, they're busy at home. Some are also going to the mountains to collect firewood and wild vegetables."

"Many people collect firewood and wild vegetables in the mountains. If you go too late, there will be nothing left."

Sang Ye learned something else: it turns out that the day of the lower-class people is so busy.

……

Rongdu, the Prince's Palace.

The prince slumped in his chair, looking as if he had lost all hope in life.
