Chapter 25 What I've Seen and Heard

"Your Majesty, why do you suddenly want to see the Fengtang in person?"

"I saw Fengtang just by the way, Gu just stayed in the palace for too long and wanted to come out for some breath. After all, Gu had never left the palace because of the assassin's affairs during this period."

At this time, Jiang Ji and Feng Yu were in a carriage that looked very ordinary and were on the way to Xianwei County.

As Jiang Ji said before, since he arrived in this world, he has been dealing with the related matters of being assassinated and creating martial arts.

I went out of the Qin Palace twice because I welcomed and bid farewell to Wei Yun, and I didn’t know what the outside world looked like.

So Jiang Ji wanted to take this opportunity to see Fengtang to take a look around and learn about the life of the people at the bottom of this world.

Jiang Ji reminded: "After entering the city later, don't call me my identity. We are just ordinary scholars now."

"promise!"

It is very common for scholars to study in the Daewoo Empire.

Reading thousands of books, traveling thousands of miles, seeing the customs and customs of various places, visiting famous masters, increasing their knowledge, experiences, and confirming what they have learned is basically a path that every aspiring and qualified scholar will choose, so the trend of studying abroad is prevalent.

Even if your family is not in good condition, you will travel to your surrounding areas and strive to enrich yourself.

Of course, in addition to these purposes, studying abroad is also a way to promote one's own reputation, make more friends, and improve one's connections.

Many scholars from big families visit famous scholars in this way to get good reviews, and then spend manpower to promote them to achieve the goal of becoming famous, and then use this as capital to promote them.

This is also one of the reasons why it is difficult for poor families to make a comeback. Even if you have the wine, you are afraid of the deep alley. Even if you have the ability, you may not let high-ranking officials know you. Don’t say that you are filial and honest.

"How far is Xianwei County?"

"Returning to the king, Xianwei County is only a hundred miles away from Yangdi. We set off at noon. It has been almost two hours now, so the distance should be not far."

Feng Yu said as he lifted the curtains beside him and asked the guards outside: "What boundary are you now? How far is it from the county town?"

"When I go back to Shaofu, it is now the Xianwei territory. You will be able to see the county town in half an hour."

Feng Yu nodded slightly and turned to look at Jiang Ji: "Your Majesty, you have a noble status. Please be careful later. There has been no peace in all places recently."

"Not peaceful? What's going on?"

Because princes like Jiang Ji have no right to participate in politics, and their original body is also a master who has no ambitions, he really has no understanding of the current situation.

Not to mention Jiang Ji, he had no intention of caring about these things before, and exposed this issue when he talked with Wei Yun before.

Feng Yu's face was a little heavy: "This year, the country's severe drought has been severe. It has not rained for three consecutive months. The crops in the fields have basically died and the people have no harvest. Therefore, thieves are everywhere, and the public security is very unsatisfactory."

Jiang Ji frowned and his expression became serious. People believed that food was the most important thing. If they could not eat enough or survive, they would naturally not be bound by morality and law, and it would be possible to do anything.

"How come it's so long? Isn't there any expert in the Supervisory and Heaven Supervision who can call the wind and rain? Does the court ignore it?"

Previously, Zhang Ye could use the power of the Thunder Scepter to attract dark clouds and trigger lightning. Those who truly reach the Dharma body realm should be no problem as long as the practice of practice is related to water.

Not to mention that the Daewoo Empire has been passed down for thousands of years, and it must have accumulated a lot of treasures, and there must be some such things as calling the wind and rain.

Feng Yu shook his head, feeling helpless in his words: "It's not that the court doesn't care, but there's no good idea at all."

Facing Jiang Ji's puzzled gaze, he continued: "The Supervisory and Heaven Supervision are experts who call the wind and rain, but when the manpower is poor, they will only affect a radius of dozens of miles at most. If there are only a few places with severe drought, it can still be solved. However, most of the empires are trapped in drought, and they are just dropping the bucket."

"Drought cannot be solved by just one or two rains. In addition, the manpower and treasures are limited, so we can only give priority to those important or rich grain production, while other places are sent by the court to provide disaster relief."

"In this way, even if the drought is still there, it shouldn't have caused the situation like Fengjun you just mentioned. It's a bit exaggerated to thieves, right?"

The court's response was timely and the plan was OK. As long as the people could survive, there were still a very small number of people who would become thieves, and it was impossible for Feng Yu to have the situation.

Feng Yu sighed after hearing this, with a complicated look: "If it were just a drought for a year, it would be fine, but it would have been flooded and a major epidemic before, and the people would have suffered a long time ago. In addition, those who have filled their own pockets, even if the Qin State is in a slightly better situation, there are still many thieves who don't talk about it everywhere."

Without personally experiencing it, Jiang Ji had no real feelings about what Feng Yu said. He lifted the curtain of the car window and looked out.

It was already evening, and the sun was still shining, and the place where you saw it was deserted.

Dried plants and trees are everywhere, birds are gone, and the fields are covered with cracks of varying thickness. The pond that once stored water is empty, leaving only the cracked and hard soil...

Not only that, Jiang Ji also saw many people digging weeds and other things in the mountains and forests. Seeing their ragged and skinny clothes, they knew how their lives were.

If Jiang Ji had not been able to feel too much when he saw this situation before knowing the situation, but now it is very different.

"Natural disasters and man-made disasters...ah!"

Jiang Ji put down the curtain, and the joy of going out for a trip had disappeared.

"The king doesn't have to worry too much. I heard that rain has begun in some places, and the drought may pass immediately."

"Even if there is no drought now, the people have missed the farming season and winter is about to begin. I don't know how many people will die at that time."

Although he knew this, Jiang Ji was still powerless. He is now just a prince without power. How many people can he save with his own strength?

Feng Yu also knew that before, he was just comforting Jiang Ji. He was also powerless and could only say dryly: "We all know that the imperial court must have known it a long time ago, and maybe there will be some solutions."

"Maybe."

If there were any solutions, the matter would have been resolved long ago, and how many people who were superior would care about these lower-level people?

Jiang Ji didn't know.

But he, a person from an ordinary person, still cared a little. He never forgot the miserable life he had just traveled through time, nor did he forget the difficulties of the people at the bottom. If possible, he hoped to give these poor people a glimmer of hope and a way out.

Am I a Virgin?

Jiang Ji smiled self-deprecatingly.
