Wang Quanquan re-entered the gambling house, swaggered to the fat man who was kneeling on the ground and shivering, squatted down, and jokingly said:

"What did you call yourself before this king?"

The mustache completely lost the arrogance just now, hesitated for a long time, and finally kowtowed directly, repeating "The prince spares his life" in his mouth.

Wang Quanquan looked at the guy in front of him with a head like pounding garlic, the smile on his face faded, and he said coldly:

"Look up."

"The villain doesn't dare."

As soon as the mustache's words fell, he only heard a crisp sound of "popping", and Wang Quanquan slapped him directly in the face.

The middle-aged fat man is mortal, where can he withstand this blow, the whole person almost flew out, not to mention, and two of his back molars were broken.

The fat man covered his rapidly swollen cheeks, and he couldn't wipe the blood from the corners of his mouth, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

"It's boring."

For this kind of person, Wang Quanquan has never been merciful, he stood up and clapped his hands, and commanded Jing Huwei on the side:

"Pull this group of gamblers to the street, each of them will be beaten with a board, and as for this fat man, send it to the yamen, how to deal with it."

"Yes!"

The two Jinghu guards stepped forward and dragged the fat man who was still begging for mercy out directly, and the rest of the people present listened to each other's wails, and felt a chill in their hearts, one by one, like hens waiting to be slaughtered, kneeling honestly in place.

……

Coming outside the house, Emperor Shun stared at this imperial brother with a little weirdness, Wang Quanquan was annoyed by it, and blurted out:

"Am I a pretty nurse, what are you always staring at me?"

"If you didn't mention this, I would have forgotten that if you hadn't poured dirty water on me that day, I wouldn't have been criticized by the people of the world until now.

Having said that, no matter how you are the prince, if you look at these gambling houses as an eyesore, casually talk to Jing Huwei, naturally a lot of people rush to help you clean up, and you can come and run in person? ”

As the dust settles on Wen Fuding's matter, Emperor Shun's patience with the king's authority seems to have increased a lot, if it was in the past, he would definitely not ask about such a trivial matter.

Wang Quanquan put his hands behind his head and said as he walked out:

"A few days ago, I met a girl on the street in Beijing who sold herself to bury her mother, a child of this age should have been hiding in the arms of her parents and being spoiled, but she was forced to sleep on the street.

Seeing that the child was pitiful, I gave up some money and inquired about the situation of her family, and it turned out that her father was addicted to gambling, and not only lost the house and land, but also his wife.

The child's mother was humiliated and hanged herself from a tree outside the city, but the father still stayed in the gambling house, gambling from day to night, leaving a child alone and unable to bury his mother by himself. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Quanquan turned his head to look at Emperor Shun:

"You have lived in the deep palace for a long time, have you ever wondered if all this is really so taken for granted? Is it the people's own business to take care of the old and the young, or is it the duty of you, the king? ”

After Wang Quanquan finished speaking, the two had already arrived on the main street, the street was bustling and lively, Emperor Shun waved his hand and retreated from the guards who followed, and followed Wang Quanquan to an alley.

"Your Majesty is a good emperor, and while seeing the prosperity of the capital, he will also sympathize with the people through the twists and turns.

The folds are dead, but people are alive, and the real folk sufferings are hidden in these invisible places. ”

After Wang Quanquan finished speaking, he pointed to an old man in ragged clothes sitting against the wall, and said:

His only son died in the battle of Zhongdu, and he should have received a large pension, but after he arrived, he only had a few dollars, only enough to prepare a thin wooden coffin for his son.

I don't need to say much about what happened after that, there is no way to redress grievances everywhere, and I finally got to the capital to sue the emperor, but I can imagine seeing our majesty, how can it be so easy? ”

Wang Quanquan glanced at Emperor Shun with a smile, stepped forward, took out a piece of loose silver from his sleeve, and threw it into the broken bowl in front of the old man, who was grateful to Dade and indescribably desolate.

Emperor Shun listened quietly to the other party's narration all the way, and surprisingly did not reply to excuse him, and the two continued to move forward, turning around and coming to a dilapidated courtyard.

……

In the courtyard, a group of homeless people dressed in patches gathered together, staring at the gruel in the pot that was not much thicker than water.

"Some of them were people whose fields were occupied, some were farmers who were burdened by natural disasters, and even a few disabled soldiers who had retired from the army, and they could be seen everywhere in the dynasty.

In the Liangguang generation, there were even several gangs composed of displaced people, and local officials called them Diao Min and Chao Min, but if there is land to be cultivated and money to be made, who wants to be a homeless person?

It is also ridiculous to say that the chaotic people in the mouths of those officials are just poor people who report to the group to keep warm, and they get together so that they are not bullied when begging for food.

I know you have your plan, and you want to deal with the group of old foxes in the court first, but the stasis of the government is the accumulation of more than 30 years, and it can't be dredged overnight.

The truth of calling the water monarch as a boat has already told us when I first read the book, but the boat is still a boat, high above, and the water is still water, supported below, and it doesn't hurt to have a little more or a little less. ”

After Wang Quanquan finished speaking calmly, he walked towards the courtyard full of homeless people, and when several people inside saw him, they all looked happy, and they all spoke:

"Ah Yue is here, it's Ah Yue."

Then a large crowd of hula came up, and the king smiled at everyone, and said:

"Today's rice is gone, but there is silver, which I just won from the gambling house Zhang Fatzi."

After that, he took out ten taels of silver from his bosom and handed it to the eldest among them, and the old man with gray hair was naturally happy to take the silver, but his eyes still couldn't help revealing worry.

"Ah Yue, listen to the old man's advice, don't go to the gambling house again, you have a good heart, the old man knows that you are doing this for all of us, but people have misses and horses have stumbled, it is difficult to guarantee that you will be unlucky one day......"

The old man talked endlessly, and Wang Quanquan hurriedly echoed casually:

"Yes, yes, I know, if you don't go in the future, you should hurry up and buy rice."

"This kid ......"

The old man shook his head and sighed, then walked towards the courtyard with two young homeless people, and nodded at him as he passed by Emperor Shun, who was dressed in luxurious clothes.

"Little girl, come, see what delicious food I have brought you."

Wang Quanquan squatted down and said to a handsome little girl in the crowd, Emperor Shun came to Wang Quanquan's side at this time, hesitated, and squatted down.

Wang Quanquan took out an oiled paper bag from his arms and handed it to the little girl who was a little shy, "Oh, Kanto sugar, save some food." ”

Behind the girl, there were several children who were looking at this side, the oldest was only twelve or thirteen, and the youngest was only three or four years old.

The little girl nodded obediently and took the sugar bag to share with her friends.

……

After the girl left, Wang Quanquan said slowly:

"She's the girl I said sold herself to bury her mother."

"You have a few thousand taels of silver in your arms, why do you only take out ten taels?"

"It's better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, they are just people who have no livelihood, and they don't really want to be beggars for the rest of their lives, I can save ten hundred, can it be that I can save thousands of thousands?

In the final analysis, no matter how much I do, it is not as good as you, the emperor, as long as I do it well enough, no one in this world will want to be beggars anymore. ”

Emperor Shun nodded, thoughtful.
