Compared to the prosperity of Gyeongdo, it can be said that it is dilapidated.

The villagers stood on both sides of the road, most of the men shirtless, while the women were in ragged clothes, including children and the elderly.

These people were looking at the soldiers along the way with very curious eyes, as well as the prince's luan.

After all, for them, this kind of scene is absolutely rare.

You know, this is a place that is only a hundred miles away from Gyeongdu, and although it is a village, it should also be taken care of by the surrounding government.

It can only show that Daqing, which seems to be prosperous, actually has a group of officials who do not do personnel.

It's hard to be similar, if you go farther away, what kind of life are the people at the bottom there.

"Qin Wei, tell Bai Qi to let the troops stop, give these villagers, and those supplies out."

Qin Wei did as he was told.

After a while, a group of officers and soldiers walked up to the silent people and distributed food to them.

The people didn't know that it was the prince who sat in Luan's car, but they understood that it was the soldiers he commanded to distribute food to them.

Facing the direction of Luan's drive, the people knelt on the ground and begged, expressing their gratitude from the bottom of their hearts.

Looking at this scene, Liu Qi had mixed feelings in his heart.

He knew that what he had done was just a drop in the bucket.

The villages of Daqingguang are more than tens of thousands. Along the way, he may see a lot, and all he can do is this meager strength.

"Your Highness, just using a small favor to make these people so grateful to Dade, it can be seen that these people's requirements are really not high."

Hearing what Lu Liang said, Liu Qi's expression did not change at all.

With a light sigh, he fell into deep thought.

Yes, all they want is to have enough food and warm clothes.

But now Daqing, which seems to be prosperous, can't even satisfy them with this. Can this be said to be true prosperity?

When I came to this world, I originally thought that as long as I kept the position of the prince, I would be able to be high-spirited and realize my ideals and ambitions.

Until he saw these people, he suddenly felt that this was not an easy thing, and it could even be said that it was a hundred times more difficult than him competing for the crown prince.

"Alas, the people are bitter when they prosper, and when they die, the people are bitter. In all dynasties, weren't there kings who really let the people, all of them, live a good life? ”

Hearing Liu Qi's exclamation, Lu Liang took a deep breath.

"Your Highness, are the people of True Enlightenment so important?"

Hearing Liu Qi's words, Lu Liang, who has always been calm and light-hearted, couldn't help but be moved.

As a businessman, I have seen too much of it.

In the eyes of many countries, including the dignitaries and dignitaries in Daqing, these so-called low-level people are just a group of dispensable ants.

Who would really care if these people lived or died?

I'm afraid, I just haven't even thought about it!

Because their suffering or well-being has little to do with the performance of the officials.

"In the eyes of the world, these people at the bottom are just some unarmed hungry people who need to rely on state relief."

"There are even those who think that they are dragging down the country's progress."

"But as everyone knows, it is such thousands of low-level people who have created the glory of a country."

"No matter how strong the country is, as long as there is a day when it really forgets these people, that is the beginning of its decline."

"The kings of all dynasties and dynasties, don't you know? The people are the foundation, and he can make a nation strong or a country perish. ”

As a modern person, Liu Qi has not only read a lot of history books, but also realized that the people are the foundation of a country's prosperity.

"His Royal Highness's words, it really made my subordinates hear it deafeningly, and my heart trembled!"

Lu Liang was excited from the bottom of his heart. I felt an incomparable shock.

Since ancient times, it is normal for dynasties to rise and fall, but everyone blames it on the work of the Son of Heaven.

And this is the first time that I have heard from the mouth of a person, and also the crown prince, that these people are the foundation of the country's prosperity.

Lu Liang couldn't help but feel a little more reverence in his eyes when he looked at Liu Qi again.

Traveling south and north, how many royal nobles have I seen, and how many emperors I have seen.

But this is the first one who can think about it.

Perhaps, many people think that Liu Qi is just a prince with a deep city.

All I do is just trying to control my position.

But Lu Liang didn't think so.

At least judging from what he just said, and the little things he did, what he really wanted was more than just himself.

"Your Highness's generosity, the little people have never heard the truth. If you can keep thinking this way, it will be a blessing to the people. ”

Listening to Lu Liang's praise, Liu Qi smiled slightly.

"It's not that this king is lenient, but because of the nations, there is only one who really treats the people as people, but thinks that they are just tools that can have some productive forces and contribute to the prosperity of the country."

As he spoke, the carriage had already started, and Liu Qi said as he walked.

"In the king's view, the demise of any nation is not accidental."

"Just now you also saw how miserable the people in these villages are. But in fact, it is such a group of people who really make the country perish. ”

Lu Liang was slightly puzzled.

"Your Highness, what do you mean by that?"

"Hehe, it's simple."

"A spark can start a prairie fire!"

In just eight words, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky, making Lu Liang's face sluggish.

"A spark can start a prairie fire......"

Lu Liang's mouth kept chanting these eight words, and his expression was constantly changing, obviously these eight words had an unprecedented impact on him.

"Everything for the people, the people yearn for it!"

Seeing Lu Liang's shocked expression, Liu Qi said one more sentence, a famous sentence that he had memorized in his previous life.

As soon as these words came out, Lu Liang's eyes grew suddenly, and even his body trembled a little.

He looked at Liu Qi in the car in a daze, and his breathing became short.

These words can be said to have raised the status of the people unprecedentedly.

There are many princes and emperors in the world, but they can say such shocking words.

Liu Qi dang, the first person!

It's not just a sentence, it's something that no ruler would ever think of as such.

The people are not for the prince, but the Son of Heaven for the people?

This is simply a rhetoric that turns the world upside down.

At this moment, Lu Liang couldn't help but secretly rejoice that he was able to follow such a master, but at the same time, he was afraid that if he was more arrogant at the beginning, he was afraid that he would miss the prince.

"Your Highness, you really are the master!"

Just as Lu Liang sighed, he heard a rapid sound, and Bai Qi galloped from a distance...
