It has been more than half a month since she left the palace this time, and what Jiang You saw was completely different from the last time.

    When Jiangyou left the palace last time, there were still some small stalls on both sides of the North Street, and ordinary people could still be encountered on the road, but now, the small stalls have become yellow-faced and skinny five or six-year-olds Children, most of them knelt on the ground naked, with grass on their heads, and an adult stood beside them.

    The adult looked at the brightly dressed people with fiery eyes. Most of the street were servants who bought from the house, or people from the gentry who had nothing to do.

    Hua Rong went up to ask why she came to Guodu to sell women, and a few people said that they came to sell it because someone took such an old child in Guodu.

    Jiang You's face was like the bottom of the pot after hearing this. In the entire capital, only her irregular orphanage was taking in five or six-year-old children. "Go to Zhang Qi first."

    After seeing Zhang Qi, Hua Rong told Zhang Qi what happened on the street, and asked in confusion: "The young lady asked you to take in orphans, not to buy children, why did you attract So many people?"

    Zhang Qi was wearing a cloth and looked completely different from that little beggar. Jiang You invited Xi Xi to teach him to read and write wisely. After reading, the knowledge taught by Mr. Zhang was different from everything Zhang Qi came into contact with.

    The book says that women should be at peace, but Jiang You is never restless, the book says that reading should serve the country, and now the country is in chaos, Zhang Qi, as Jiang You's subordinate, knows Jiang What did you do in it. So he was a little confused.

    What Mr. Jiang taught and what Jiang You did, which one is right?

    Jiang You sat in front of the table, every move revealed the elegance and calmness of the royal family, Zhang Qi felt a burning heart when he saw it. He and Jiang You are the same age, but they are very different. "It is precisely because the female son has a good heart and takes in the child that those people are greedy for money and sell the child."

     

    "What do you mean?" Hua Rong frowned and stared at him, "Are you blaming the young lady!"

    "Hua Rong, you are wrong." Jiang You took a deep breath, "Zhang Qi, what are your thoughts in the future, you can say it directly, you don't need to beat around the bush. Let me ask you, it's really so chaotic outside. already?"

    Zhang Qi raised his head, glanced at Jiang You in surprise, then lowered his head quickly, clenched his fists, and felt both shame and anger in his heart. Jiang You is different from the nobles he has ever seen, and she never gets angry at his rudeness.

    How can there be such a good-natured princess in this world? Not to mention Jiang You's cunning ways, if it weren't for Jiang You, perhaps Gongziwen would have already defeated Gongzi Bai and became the new king of Meng, and the people of Meng would have settled down long ago.

    "Young Master, why do you keep helping Young Master Bai to deal with Young Master Wen? A country cannot live without a ruler. do my best. Today, he is not the hero of the future. The sixteen-year-old Zhang Qi doesn't know what forbearance is, and he still has a warm blood.

    This passion made him step through the solidification of the secular on the upper and lower classes, and made him dare to speak up.

    Hua Rong was taken aback by Zhang Qi's sudden outburst. Since she was born, no one has dared to speak so rudely to the royal princess.

      Killed his brainless blood.

    "Yes!" Zhang Qi raised his head abruptly. This was the first time he looked directly at Jiang You.

    But Jiang You could see from his trembling fist that he was just bluffing.

    "Stupid!" Jiang You's resolute tone made Zhang Qi's face gradually dull, "If it wasn't for me, wouldn't the eldest brother and the second brother fight? The right prime minister entered the capital, yes Only three days after the death of the father! He was originally patrolling the border. If no one reported the news and had no desire to fight, why would he have to travel day and night, exhausting several horses to come back? The father once said that he wanted to make his second brother the crown prince. In just a few days, he died of a sudden illness. Do you think this is a coincidence? There are so many capable people around the father, who can make him suffer from such a sudden illness silently! Is it me!"

    Hua Rong, who was so overwhelmed by Jiang You's sudden outburst, that she didn't dare to speak, was a little confused when she heard this.

    But the person who wants the king's life is indeed Mrs. Meng Xuan.

    Where has Zhang Qi heard of these palace affairs, he doesn't want to believe it, but Jiang You's words are too perfect, he can't find any flaws.

    "If I hadn't disclosed the snow disaster in Qinghe County to my eldest brother, would Qinghe County be safe now?"

      He responded quickly: "No, it won't be here anymore."

    There are so many villagers who escaped from Qinghe County. If Qinghe County is not eliminated as soon as possible, it will be a stain on Zhao Yun's official resume in the future. The right minister and son Bai will definitely help cover up Everything, Qinghe County is just a small county town. This time Wei Guo invaded the border, it is possible to lead a small group of Wei army over, and use the hands of Wei army to destroy Qinghe.

    Then Zhao Yun can also use the local wealthy private soldiers to destroy the Wei army. At that time, the court will not only not punish him for dereliction of duty, but also reward him for killing the enemy.

    As for those innocent people, those high-ranking officials and gentry are noble nobles, they don't care about the lives of ants on the ground.

    "Zhang Qi, it's a good thing that you can think about the people. But this is the way the world is today. As a princess of the Meng Kingdom, I still can't be free. If the king hadn't gone, I would have I want to be married by my mother to Duke Lu Heng, an old man in his fifties." Jiang You said, shaking his head with a wry smile. "All I can do is try my best to survive and help the people."

    Combining hardness and softness, Jiang You once heard that in order to gain a person's loyalty, you must first impress the other party's heart, and then bind the other party with enough benefits.

    "Young lady, Qi knows what's wrong, because Qi is too narrow-minded and thinks wrong!" Zhang Qi got up and bowed like Jiang You, "But do you want to stop buying children? Those people sell them Sons and daughters are only for money. Before, I bought all orphans, but now these are all children with parents. Some parents are old and sell their children. Who will farm the fields in the future? Who will come? Take care of them, how to pass on the incense!"

     I don't know if you sell your children, will you have a harder life in the future?"

    Zhang Qi hesitated, the people have never read books, but they are not fools.

    The common people understand better than anyone. Selling sons and daughters is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst, wouldn't they know?

    "Anyone who can pay for slaves must have a wealthy family. When their children find a good employer, they will be able to eat and clothe themselves. If they get a sum of money, they can buy food and live on." I can't stand the buying and selling of people, but in this world, what can I do?

      For food, we have to sell the land to the wealthy family and live under the wealthy family, but the wealthy family will also die in the battle. If the wealthy family is wiped out, their fields will become someone else's. Small out.

    No money, no food, no land, no house, they have only themselves.

    If you want to live, how can you not sell yourself as a slave?

     "Older children can be sold into knighthood, they can be exiled into the army or sold into wealthy families for strong slaves, and the younger children will either live or die." No one wants to have children of 2000 years old, they eat more and work less, and for those who don’t make much money, they are trading at a loss.”

    When Jiang You spoke slowly, his tone was a little cold, but it was very realistic. Zhang Qi remembered the widow who had fled with him. She died and the child in her womb was not born.

    Zhang Qi's lips trembled, but he didn't know what to say, so he asked Jiang You not to buy more children, and now he can't wait for Jiang You to buy all the children.

    Jiang You can give those children a bite to eat and give them a place to live. Although Jiang You's purpose is not pure, at least those children can live longer in her hands.

    A day is a day.

    "Why is the world so unfair? Shouldn't ordinary people live?" Zhang Qi was struck by Jiang You's words and began to doubt himself and the world.

    Jiang You waved her hand, Hua Rong hurriedly put the bag she had been carrying on the ground carefully and opened it, which contained things Zhang Qi did not know and a few scrolls of bamboo slips.

     Strange things are books. The paper used to make the book is not good paper, it turns yellow and has a strange smell.

    Jiang You used ghosts to do a few intelligence business before, making war money is a valuable experience given to her by her ancestors. When Gongzi Wen and Gongzi Bai fought, she made a lot of money selling intelligence money.

    She used the money to buy another courtyard, and used the money to house a bunch of orphans and Zhang Qi. She also used the money to buy wasteland outside the capital, and let Huarong buy a dozen skilled craftsmen to develop them for her Papermaking and movable type printing.

    Paper-making has achieved results in a few days, and the progress bar of movable type printing is progressing slowly, because the current paper cannot be printed at all, Jiang You needs time.

    Five books, one 30 pages, as large as the A4 paper of later generations. The thickness of the paper is about one centimeter, and the paper feels very rough, close to the straw paper used by later generations to wipe the buttocks.

     

    Her calligraphy is inherited from the original owner. If she wrote it herself, it would not be full of dog crawling.

    "Reading can be sensible. Take these books to read, and don't let others see them. Recognize the characters well, and learn these books by yourself. For the children." Jiang You pointed to the books, "Everything you want to know is in it."
