In his last life, Yao Yun, who lived in a peaceful age, did not have much ambition. He lived a good life, let his family live a good life, worked hard, and made money to support his family. That was enough. As for taking the world as his own responsibility, it was too far away.
However, Yao Yun was in a daze at this moment.
After traveling to this world, Yao Yun has never found his own sense of belonging, but at this moment, those sincere and expectant eyes made him find a small goal.
Develop Xidu well and make the people of Xiguo rich without having to starve to death a lot of people every year.
Yao Yun is not an emotional person. At this time, he is very sincere and comes from the heart.
He believed that with his own knowledge, there should be no problem in leading Xiguo to make a fortune.
After realizing his thoughts, Yao Yun felt that his steps were much brisker, and his mental strength also increased slightly at this moment!
"I'm going to look around, everyone, please disperse!"
The king gave the order, no one dared to entangle anymore, and soon everyone dispersed, their eyes filled with joy.
When Yao Yun left, he heard several old men boasting leisurely to their companions.
"Our king is really friendly to the people. This is the first time that the old man has seen such a noble person up close."
"No, our king was very kind when he was still the heir. He never bullied the people based on his status. But now that he is wise, we have met a good king."
"Your Majesty ascended the throne yesterday, and today he is thinking of us idiots like us. How can we not be wise?"
The people in Xidu seemed to be alive and full of energy.
Regardless of whether what these old men said was true or false, those foreign merchants and barbarians from the barbarian tribe believed it, and they all had such envious expressions.
Yao Yun left in a hurry with the palace guards. Hearing these comments, he was speechless.
He didn't do much, but he ended up becoming a sage in the eyes of the people. This really made him feel ashamed. No wonder the big leaders in the previous life liked to put on a show. It turned out to be this way.
It’s a show, it smells so good!
Low wooden and earthen houses, coarse linen clothes, animal skins, and skinny children...
After patrolling all the way, Yao Yun's understanding of the world became clearer and clearer, that is, it is poverty, and there is no hope of living in peace, happiness and health.
Thinking about the people's previous appreciation for him, Yao Yun suddenly felt a burning sensation on his face.
Only now did he realize that in the market just now, most of the people's praises were that he never harmed the people or oppressed them.
Is it because he doesn’t oppress the common people that he becomes a good king?
This requirement is too low!
He was a little dizzy just now because of the words of praise, and he immediately woke up. These people were counting on him as a king to live, and they must have been chosen in front of him.
But in this way, the previous words of praise became very embarrassing.
"Hey, I hope I can hear different compliments in the future."
Yao Yun muttered quietly.
Cang Man, who had sharp ears, heard this, and his heart moved, and he said: "Your Majesty, these are all white men who cannot read or write. How can they say any words of praise? Don't worry about it. In my opinion, Your Majesty, you are charming and suave...
.”
"Stop it, don't talk nonsense if you have nothing to do, Hu Yi, you go prepare the car, I want to go out of the city to inspect the territory."
The guard named Hu Yi was obviously surprised. Of course, it was more of a surprise. He never expected that the king would remember his name. This immediately made him flattered and a little touched.
"Here!"
After bowing and saluting, Hu Yi strode away.
Yao Yun glanced at the other party and used his [Knowing People with Wisdom Eyes] magical power. Unexpectedly, the other party's favorability level actually changed.
Tiger B: Harmony, first-grade root and bone qualifications, mediocre mental qualifications, great success as a Qi-refining warrior.
This person is the indifferent and favorable guard that Yao Yun saw last night.
Yao Yun was a little surprised. He just called out the other party's name and ordered a small thing, and the other party's favorability towards him increased greatly, and he suddenly changed from indifferent to harmonious.
In this way, Yao Yun finally knew in his heart that the other party was probably thinking of neglecting his talent. He would investigate it later and consider using him if he was really capable.
Yao Yun's departure from Xi was not a big deal, but Cang Man was still a little worried about the current situation.
"Your Majesty, why are you leaving the city? If there is any need, as long as you give the order, Cangman is willing to go through fire and water!"
When he said this, Cangman didn't have the slightest sense of flattery, he spoke completely from his heart.
Yao Yun naturally has no doubts about his loyalty to Cangman and will remain loyal to him until death. This is so rare. Unfortunately, there are some things that others cannot do for him.
"I want to visit the territory and see the fields of our Xidu."
Cang Man thought for a long time before nodding in embarrassment and said: "Your Majesty, the ferocious beasts and monsters around Xidu have been cleared, but it is inevitable that some fish will slip through the net. You should not stay too far away."
"It's okay. I'm just taking a look around Xidu and not going far away. Besides, with you and a group of guards protecting me, there won't be any danger. The farmers go out to farm every day, and there are no accidents."
Cangman bowed and said hello, but felt a little bitter in his heart. Every once in a while in Xidu, farmers who went out were attacked by ferocious beasts and monsters. There was nothing that could be done about it. If the farmers did not go out to farm, they would starve to death.
Soon, Yao Yun left Xidu in a carriage.
After leaving Xidu, the road was not smooth, not to mention rugged, and very narrow. Yao Yun was shaking as he sat in the car.
Sitting on the carriage, not long after, a golden ear of rice came into view, and a group of dark-skinned farmers and women were harvesting the crops with stone knives.
Harvesting while bending down is a very tiring job, but Yao Yun saw that these thin farmers were very familiar with each other. They kept bending over to harvest, harvesting with one hand and holding the crops with the other, with agile and efficient movements.
Because the stone knife is not sharp enough, sometimes the farmer will make a second cut without finishing the cut, and then the farmer will make a second cut. The second cut is not finished, and the third cut...
During this process, drops of sweat broke out from his forehead and fell to the ground like rolling beads.
Yao Yun watched silently, and suddenly, a childish voice came from the distant field.
"Dad, drink water!"
Yao Yun looked around and saw a dark and thin child, holding a bowl of water, running quickly to the farmer in the field full of rice stubble, and happily handed over the water.
The farmer put down the stone knife and rice ears kindly, touched the child's head kindly, took the water, and drank it with a satisfied gulp, his face full of happiness.
The child was very happy, turned around and ran to the field that his father had just mowed, picking up the scattered ears of rice that his father had missed.
Yao Yun, who was sitting in the carriage, saw this warm scene. Suddenly, he wanted to draw him, but he gave up after thinking about it.
