Chapter 1363： belief

The twins returned to the Zhou Mansion, estimating that the younger sisters must be accompanying their grandmother, and the two brothers went straight to the main courtyard for a quick walk.

Zhulan was telling stories to her granddaughters. At first, she only told them to her granddaughters. Mrs. Li and others came to listen and didn't leave. This time, Zhulan told stories of positive and uplifting stories. There are too many idiom stories. Just a good story.

The twins came in and interrupted the story, and Zhu Lan was tired of talking, drinking tea, "That's all for today."

Yu Die showed a few expressions of not listening enough, and even Li Shi and others wanted to continue listening.

Zhulan moistened her throat and asked, "I heard your second aunt say that you and the second son of Liu went out, did you come back too early?"

After saying hello one by one, Jiang Ping sat down on the chair, "Grandma, the second son of Liu is more stubborn than the second uncle said."

Jiang An nodded, "I ordered a pot of tea, but there is only a pot of tea and snacks. The small pot of tea is divided among three people, and the tea is tasteless. We can bear it very well now."

Luckily, Young Master Liu had to order his face and not the cheapest tea, otherwise, they would have come back earlier.

Zhulan was delighted, "This Liu family is quite interesting."

Jiang Ping was silent, "It's really interesting if you just look at the way he hurts."

The Zhao family couldn't help laughing while holding the handkerchief, but the husband refused, and the Liu family just didn't give up.

Li shi blinked, "Is the Liu family having a hard time?"

Zhu Lan shook her head, "The Liu family is very wealthy, I heard from Changyi that when the ancestors of the Liu family were ordinary people, there were years of disasters, famine, and drought. already."

What should the Liu family say, anyway, don't talk about Yinzi as a friend, talk about Yinzi being embarrassed, the Liu family would rather have no friends, this is also a realm.

The twins' eyes widened, Jiang An said, "It's a bit stingy there, but it's really stingy at all."

Zhulan smiled and said, "Only a few are very stingy, the others are quite normal."

Yu Die blinked, "This person is so stingy, what if he finds a lady who can spend money?"

For example, she spends money lavishly. Every time she goes to the street, she has to pack a small bag, and the money she brings out will never be left to bring back!

The Zhao family is happy, yes, the Liu family does not give up, and the ability of the daughter Hua Yinzi can also make people give up.

Zhulan looked at Yudie, "Who knows!"

The next day, at the city gate of Zhangzhou, Tongzhi looked at the extra sheds, and sighed with emotion on the prince's mind, and he exchanged so many cotton-padded clothes in one sentence.

Tongzhi walked all the way and clearly felt the lost expressions of the girls in the sheds. He thought to himself, if the prince was not trying to catch more sheds, the prince planned to leave for Beijing tomorrow. Stay a few more days.

Zhou Shuren and the prince went out of Zhangzhou City to see the nearby villages.

They didn't look close, and they walked farther. The collapsed houses in the nearby villages had been cleaned up, but the villages in the distance had not been taken care of. The villagers had all fled to the Fucheng, and only a few households remained in the village, which seemed extraordinarily quiet. Now, if it wasn't for the smoke rising, it would be considered a deserted village.

The prince got off the carriage and entered the village along a stepped path. "Houses are very important to the people."

Zhou Shuren, "Well, the house is one of the most important possessions."

The prince sighed, "It takes a lot of money to rebuild houses by the people themselves."

"Your Highness can ask the villagers."

So don't rely on your own ideas and feel that you need to spend a lot of money. Even if the prince lowers his vision, it will be unattainable for the common people.

"Uncle is right."

When Mr. Yan heard the address, he looked sideways, but he ignored Zhou Shuren's relationship with the royal family.

The prince did not continue to speak. They walked to a house that was burning a fire and preparing to cook. The gate was closed, and the mountain was covered by heavy snow. The beasts on the mountain would go down the mountain when they were very hungry.

They saw the traces of wolves on the way, but there were too many of them, and the wolves were very smart and didn't show up.

The guard shouted a few times, the room was silent, and after a while, a man with a crooked back came out. Seeing Zhou Shuren and others, his eyes were full of fear, and he said tremblingly, "Why is the official calling Xiao Xiao? thing?"

Zhou Shuren was silent. If he hadn't taken the imperial examination road in ancient times, he would have to be extra careful when dealing with officials.

The prince stepped forward and said, "Don't be afraid, we are officials in the city. We came to check the disaster situation today. We want to ask you some news from fellow villagers."

The man felt kindness. As they seldom deal with officials, they are very sensitive. They are a little relieved and dare not offend people. They slowly opened the door, "Outside, it's cold outside, I'll boil hot water and drink some hot water. Warm up."

The prince stopped, "Don't be busy, fellow, we'll leave after asking."

The man said, "Well, sit in that room."

The low-rise adobe house is dark in the room, and I am used to the brightness brought by the glass windows, which is not suitable for the prince.

He went around the capital, and he had never entered a farmer's house. This was the first time.

The prince looked at the room. There was a repaired table and the legs of the chairs were repaired. There were five chairs and three of them were repaired. The man went out for a while, and soon came in with hot water. There were only a few bowls in total, which should be the only one in the family. Perfect bowl.

The man said nervously: "There is nothing good to entertain at home only hot water."

Tea is not something that people like them can afford. Even if they can afford it, they will not buy it. It is better to buy more grain if you have the money to buy tea.

The prince motioned the fellow to sit down, "Don't be busy, the fellow, we are not cold."

The man didn't dare to sit, "No, no, I'm used to standing. If you have anything to ask, just ask."

Zhou Shuren was sitting in the chair. Modern poverty alleviation must be done slowly, not to mention ancient times. Ancient poverty alleviation was difficult and difficult. Zhangzhou is indeed poor, but it is not the poorest.

This family's things are shabby, but from the smell of cooking, this family has some background, otherwise they would not stay in the village, but would flee.

Although the man was shivering from the cold, he still had tattered cotton-padded clothes to wear.

In a really poor state, it is not an exaggeration at all. It is difficult for a family to have a warm cotton coat. They can’t eat enough. If they don’t eat, they don’t need to talk about it. There are countless ignorant and bad habits.

He thought about poverty alleviation, but stopped again when he thought about it. Zhangzhou spent some money for disaster prevention, but he didn't dare to do anything else because it was close to the capital.

In the remote states far from the capital, the silver is sent to the past layer by layer, and those with conscience can give the people more leftovers, and those who have no conscience.

After the prince finished asking, he motioned the guards to go to the carriage to bring some grain and two cotton-padded coats down. Every farmer left in the village had them.

The man was stunned when he saw the grain and the cotton-padded clothes. When he realized that the carriage had left, the man knelt down excitedly.

The prince didn't feel good when he saw it, "It's hard for the people."

Zhou Shuren snorted, "But I believe that life will get better and better."

There was starlight in the prince's eyes, "Yeah."

Zhou Shuren's smile deepened, and the purpose of this trip was successfully completed.
