The people in the alley were so enthusiastic that Huo Xi was both moved and at a loss.
In this moment, not only her, but also the maids around her had their hands full.
There are all kinds of things brought in by the common people. Home-grown vegetables, dried fruits and vegetables, various grain snacks, and even bamboo baskets and baskets are all collected.
this……
"I understand everyone's thoughts. This is really too much. We can't take any more!"
"Madam helped us solve the water problem. We no longer have to run several streets to carry a load of water. We don't know how to repay Madam's kindness."
"Yes, yes, I used to have to go through several alleys to carry a bucket of water. The alleys are narrow, and if we are facing each other, we can't avoid it. When we carry a bucket of water home, it is swaying, and there is only half a bucket left when we get home."
"No. My grandson can't grow long just by carrying water. Now there are wells in the streets and alleys. You can go to fetch water at any time. You don't have to queue up and you don't have to pay. Madam dug a well for us people and solved the problem.
Our livelihood has been lost and we don’t know how to express our gratitude.”
"Ma'am, please accept it. I don't have anything useful at home. These are too shabby. I hope Madam won't dislike them."
"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it." It won't work if you don't accept it.
Huo Xi was extremely moved.
These things may not seem worth much money, but they are all the common people's thoughts.
"Thank you all, I will accept it. Seeing that everyone has convenient water, I am happy for everyone."
Everyone felt happy when they saw that the Crown Prince's wife didn't dislike the things they gave her, and she treasured them and put them on the carriage. This lady didn't have eyes on top of her head, and she didn't look down on them.
They were sent all the way out. The carriage was gone, and the whole family was still standing at the entrance of the alley, looking around.
Huo Xi said to Qian Qianke with some emotion: "The common people remember love the most. Whoever treats them well will always be remembered."
Qian Qianke nodded in agreement.
"When the wells were first dug, we were supplying tea and food to the masters and workers who dug the wells. But later on we no longer needed to deliver them. The people in the alley spontaneously provided tea and meals to the masters and workers.
, meals were included. Even the masters lamented that they had never encountered such a thing. After the work was done and the wages were paid, they still refused to leave. They asked me if there was any work left and I wanted to continue doing it. They said it was a comfortable job."
"Yes, although these people living in the narrow alleys have a hard life, they are most grateful. Now that their water problem has been solved, they still have to find ways to solve their livelihood. The people have work to do, money to earn, and their lives
Just live a good life."
Qian Qianzhi lamented that only the Crown Prince’s wife thought about the livelihood of these poor people.
"These days, roads and bridges are being built in the city, and a lot of people are being recruited everywhere. According to Madam's instructions, priority is given to people from poor family backgrounds. Even those with less than 100 cents a day can earn more than ten cents. In addition, Madam
Our shop collects flowers, dried fruits, mushrooms, cotton, linen and other fabrics of various colors, giving everyone many ways to make money. As long as you work hard, you can survive."
Huo Xi nodded in agreement.
The two went to some large wells to check.
Large wells are built in large areas and are dug in wide areas of the street. The well mouth is much wider than the narrow well. It can be seen by visual inspection that it is as wide as a shoulder pole, with a pulley on it and a hemp rope wrapped around it. A brand new wooden barrel is tied to one end of the hemp rope.
If you don't jump in deliberately, you probably don't have to worry about anything falling in.
Looking above the wellhead, there is a pavilion with four thin pillars and a pavilion cover on top. There are stone bricks along the outer edge of the wellhead for oars to wash clothes.
"What Madam means is to order us to engrave the names of good people on the inner walls and pillars of the pavilion. But there are too many good people, so we decided to wait until the road is repaired before erecting steles and engravings. At that time, we will build a special stele pavilion to
For future generations to remember."
"Very good. That's how it will be done."
After checking some water wells, they went to check on the road construction. Huo Xi was very satisfied when she saw that everyone was still working enthusiastically in the winter without sparing any effort. After watching for a long time, she turned around and returned home.
Aunt Jun soon learned of this.
He also specially called Mu Zhan back to discuss with him how to win over the people in the city.
Mu Zhan looked down upon what Aunt Jun said about paying to build roads and bridges, or sending people to visit the construction site, giving alms, etc.
"Mother, I don't have to do such a small thing. The most important thing now is the military and the chieftains' houses. These people are worth winning over. What role can some unarmed common people play?"
"Don't underestimate these ordinary people. These are the people's wishes. Only when the people's wishes are what they want can you achieve great things."
Mu Zhan rubbed his forehead, feeling that he couldn't explain it to his mother.
"Mother, don't bother me with those little things. My father didn't ask me to join the army this year. He only asked me to sort out various documents and accounts in the house. Those aides were doing this. They said they had other arrangements for me, but
Leave me free. I'm so worried right now that I can't think of all the trivial matters outside."
Mentioning this matter, Aunt Jun also gritted her teeth.
She obviously feels that Zhan'er has not been reused since Mu Yan returned to Yunnan. If Mu Yan wins the hearts of the people and gets the support of the military generals, it will be even more difficult for Zhan'er in the future.
Mu Zhan was startled when he saw her expression changing constantly.
"Mom, you'd better not do anything. Otherwise, if father finds out, even I won't be able to please him."
When he was young, he knew many things that his mother and uncle's family did to Mu Yan.
At that time, he was still young and listened to his mother in everything. Now, although he feels that Mu Yan is blocking his way, this is only temporary. As long as his father has no health problems, Mu Yan will still stay in Beijing as a hostage.
As long as he cannot return to Yunnan, Yunnan is still his.
"Why are you so timid and fearful now!" Aunt Jun frowned, very dissatisfied.
"Mother, it's not that I'm timid, it's that Mu Yan's wings are full now. If you don't have the power to strike with one blow, it's best not to touch him. He has many people in his hands, both bright and dark. With our current manpower,
I still can’t move him.”
"How will you know if you don't try. He is in the house, so we can't do anything about it. Now that he is outside, wouldn't it be easy if something unexpected happens?"
"Mother! I advise you to stop! I am very dissatisfied with him for standing in front of me, but I know how to plan slowly and not to touch eggs with stones. If mother is forceful, she will anger father and even I will be saved.
I can’t help you!”
Throwing up his sleeves he walked out.
"Idiot." Aunt Jun cursed.
If a stone blocks the road, either move it away or go around it. Leave it far behind so that it cannot become a threat. If you keep it in front of you, you will not be able to walk, and you will be hit by it.
to the feet.
In the Jun family, Aunt Jun, Mrs. Jun and others are plotting.
Jun Mingzhang died, although he did not die in Mu Yan's hands, but he died because of him. Mr. and Mrs. Jun were so sad that they lost their beloved son, and they wished they could eat Mu Yan alive.
"If I let that little beast live any longer, my life will be shortened. Now he has stolen Zhan'er's job as a labor force. He and his wife are trying to attract people's hearts and cannot go on like this. If he gets the support of the army, what will happen to him?
There is still room for Zhan’er to gain a foothold!”
Only his grandson Mu Zhan holds the hereditary title, and his family is tied to the Mu family. The title will last as long as the country. As long as the country does not fall, the Jun family will be able to prosper.
"Even if we can't kill him, we have to cripple him! The emperor will not let a disabled person attack the lord!" Mr. Jun looked ferocious.
