Chapter 495 Refugee Village
Of course, despite this, Su Huayue didn't think there was anything wrong with such a village. On the contrary, when she was very depressed in her previous life, she actually thought it would be better to live a leisurely life in the countryside.
She was just curious, why did Xiao Linghan bring her here?
Su Huayue looked at Xiao Linghan with puzzled eyes: "Second Prince, why did you bring me here?"
But when her eyes came into contact with Xiao Linghan's, she immediately looked away.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Xiao Linghan's mouth, but soon, the smile was hidden again. Instead, his face became a little solemn, and he said: "I want to take you in to have a look."
After saying that, Xiao Linghan took Su Huayue's hand. Su Huayue didn't resist at all. Just like the progress of their relationship, everything seemed to be natural.
Seeing this, Su Huayue did not refuse Xiao Linghan, and followed Xiao Linghan into the village. As soon as she entered the village, she saw many sick people in the village, and several young people were treating them.
No one in the village seemed to know Xiao Linghan's identity. When they saw Xiao Linghan, they just nodded slightly and went back to do their own things.
Su Huayue looked at the situation in front of her, and an inexplicable emotion welled up in her heart.
This kind of emotion is a pity for the suffering in the world.
Because the people in these villages are all old, weak, sick and disabled, many of them are even on the verge of death. Even if someone is treating them, they look very painful.
Su Huayue walked with Xiao Linghan. She originally wanted to ask the people in this village what was going on, but in the end, she did not ask this question.
It's not that she doesn't want to ask, but she now feels that caring about the people in this village is much more important than asking Xiao Linghan anything.
As the village went from beginning to end, Su Huayue's mood became more and more depressing.
But it wasn't until she walked out of the whole village that she asked Xiao Linghan in an extremely depressed tone: "Who are the people in that village?"
There were actually a lot of people in the village, so it actually took a lot of time for Su Huayue to walk out of the entire village.
It was precisely because Su Huayue saw so many suffering people in that village that Su Huayue felt particularly heavy now.
Xiao Linghan also noticed Su Huayue's discomfort, and suddenly he thought, shouldn't he bring Su Huayue here?
In the end, he still did not regret this decision.
This is the original face of this empire, and sooner or later, Su Huayue will know it.
Xiao Linghan said to Su Huayue: "These are refugees from other cities in the Liang Kingdom who fled to the capital. Many of them are refugees who cannot survive in the capital. They all have a common characteristic, that is, their lives are difficult. If they are not supported, they will be very likely to die.
He will die soon."
Yes, this is indeed the case. Su Huayue just walked all the way and saw such a scene.
Xiao Linghan continued: "What I showed you is just the tip of the iceberg. There are many more refugee villages like this."
When Su Huayue heard this, she was shocked again. Are there many more?
In fact, Su Huayue had lived a lifetime in her previous life and even been on the battlefield, so it was not like she had never seen tragic scenes.
But whether it was her previous life or this present life, she couldn't bear to see the tragic scenes.
That's why there was such a big reaction.
At the same time, Xiao Linghan's words also shocked her.
As far as she knew, although the entire Daliang Kingdom would later be in turmoil due to the war, at this time, in her memory, the Daliang Kingdom was still very peaceful. How could there be so many refugees?
Su Huayue asked Xiao Linghan: "Where do these refugees come from? The capital is still a peaceful scene, why are there so many refugees outside the capital?"
Xiao Linghan said: "All peaceful scenes are just appearances. The entire capital, or the entire Liang Kingdom, is now riddled with holes."
Su Huayue was still in disbelief and murmured subconsciously: "Why is this happening? Isn't the Emperor a wise king?"
If we say that the current emperor is a wise king, it is not true. He actually has no political achievements.
But based on Su Huayue's memories of her previous life and this life, as well as what she heard from the people, Xiao Linghan was definitely not a foolish king.
Because during this period, especially a few years later, there were frequent wars around Daliang, and because Daliang had to deal with the wars in its surroundings, Daliang had no choice but to do so due to its weak national strength.
Regardless of how Daliang became in a few years due to the war on the border, in Su Huayue's memory, at least in the past few years, everything in Daliang was still passable.
Xiao Linghan listened to Su Huayue's words and said to Su Huayue: "Hua Yue, what you see is just the surface. Because of the internal fighting among the ministers, especially the father-in-law's continuous efforts to win over the courtiers, Daliang has already made this country thousands of It’s full of holes. It’s not easy to get rid of these shortcomings.”
Su Huayue was stunned after hearing Xiao Linghan's words, and then fell into deep thought.
As he said, there were indeed infighting among the courtiers in the Liang Kingdom. She had seen a lot of this in her previous life, and she even took advantage of it to do a lot of things.
As for what Xiao Linghan said, it was indeed true for the state leader to win over the courtiers. She had also been deeply impressed by these things in her previous life.
It's just that she used to only think that this was a battle between the major forces seeking to inherit the throne, and even for Xiao Qiming, she was one of the people who won over the courtiers.
Didn't you expect that these internal strife would consume this country like this?
But really speaking, the reason why ministers become ministers is to do things for the people.
After the infighting among the courtiers, no one was interested in doing things for the people. Instead, they focused on the infighting. It is not surprising that the country would be in ruins.
However, if Xiao Linghan hadn't brought her to see it, Su Huayue would not have expected that the internal fighting among courtiers would have such a great impact on a country.
And if you think a little deeper.
Since internal fighting among courtiers can have such a serious impact on a country, it can even make many people completely unable to eat.
It is said that only when the people are strong can a country be strong. Did this directly lead to the weakening of the national power of Liang?
The reason why neighboring countries dare to invade Daliang is simply because they want to benefit from Daliang.
If they knew that their attack on Daliang would definitely fail and they would not gain much benefit, how could they attack Daliang?
