Sow the Seed for Her! Down!(!)
He let the children sit in the carriage at the back, while Chu He and Yan Lingji returned. Because he had to take care of the children, he wasn't in the mood to wander around.
After lowering the curtain, Chu He saw Yan Lingji sitting in a corner as if she was in a daze. Then, she hugged her calves and forearms as if she was thinking about something.
Chu He thought of Yan Lingji's miserable background. She was born a commoner and had a younger brother. However, because of a fire, the entire village was burned to death, and her younger brother's whereabouts were unknown. However, because she was good at using fire spells, she was recruited by Prince Tianze and eventually became his subordinate.
However, this was what he saw from the works, and whether this world's Yan Lingji had such a background was uncertain.
However, it wasn't good for her to ask about it while she was sad.
Therefore, Chu He took a sip of sake and said,"Do you want to save these survivors of the Bai Yue?"”
Hearing this.
Yan Lingji raised her eyebrows. Although she was disguised as a man, her eyes were hers.
She cared.
Chu He suddenly had an idea, so he said," I can ask Zhang Liang or Han Fei to make the King of Han order them to draw a piece of land outside Xinzheng to live in and educate them into the Han people. Then, they wouldn't have to live like this without the means to grow crops. Because they had no fixed residence and their identities were illegal, even if they had a harvest, it would be snatched away by others. Did you see that?"
"I forcefully bought their children. As parents, they are only afraid and unwilling to resist. This means that they are used to being bullied and have lost the courage to resist. He could only accept it. I looked at the survivors who had gathered. Most of them were old or young, but there was not a single young woman. What did this mean? In this journey of braving the wind and sleeping in the open, advancing and retreating, these young women had already been snatched away by various forces. If they were left alone, their situation would become more and more difficult.”
Yan Lingji lowered her head again. "Master won't agree. The people of the Bai Yue would not lower their heads and accept the charity of the enemy.”
"That might be the past. However, humans were a species that had to look to the future.”
Chu He used his fingers to matte the gold wine cup in his hand." A person with a noble character is not a meal given out in charity, but only by living can he create more things.”
"Furthermore…"
Chu He said," These commoners no longer have the integrity of the people of the Bai Yue. The Yue had already perished, and for the commoners, whether they were the Yue or other citizens, the most basic guarantee was their livelihood.”
"Life?"
"Yes." Chu He put down his wine glass.”
"Their only goal is to survive. And you said that Crown Prince Tian Ze didn't agree? That's right, if they really did that and ate the food handed out to them, then your Tian Ze Crown Prince might even kill them, saying that they were no longer worthy of being the people of the Bai Yue.”
"But there is one thing that is very important.”
"He is the Crown Prince, he is the King, but has he protected his people? He might have been very powerful in battle, but he was captured in the end. This meant that he did not protect himself well. If they couldn't protect their people, then how could they be qualified to reprimand them for eating out of contempt?”
"This is definitely twisted logic. I don't like it.”
"Maybe." Chu He nodded indifferently." However, if I were the Crown Prince, the situation of national subjugation would be inevitable. Then, I'm willing to let the people be taken in by other countries.”
"Why?" Yan Lingji's eyes flickered with confusion.
"The entire country resisted but still lost. The commoners have already done what they could, so I have nothing to complain about. Therefore, I want them to continue living in disgrace.
Because even so, they are still the people of our Bai Yue. The bloodline of the Bai Yue would still be passed down. In the end, was personal enjoyment more important than the people?
Just like what Mencius said, the people were more important than the king. A truly broad-minded person was willing to sacrifice himself to protect more people so that they could continue to live.”
Hearing this, Yan Lingji couldn't help but look up at Chu He.
As a servant, she was loyal, but she was also born in a poor family, so she could understand the feelings of ordinary people.
However, Chu He was able to have such an open mind. Such a person was really…
"But that's just a saying. If we really lose, we'll all burn ourselves together. It's better to commit suicide together. If I can't survive, why are they still alive?”
Hence, Chu He continued to drink.
“……”
This bastard.
Yan Lingji retracted her emotions.
He didn't look so disappointed anymore.
Chu He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this. However, he could make use of the Bai Yue refugees.
A few years ago, the Han Country had defeated the Bai Yue Country, and the Bai Yue Country had been destroyed. The people were displaced.
On the other hand, the King of Han was muddle-headed. He did not settle the spoils of war, the 'Baiyue commoners' completely. He did not allow them to integrate into the Han Country to strengthen their national strength. Instead, a large portion of them were taken away by the Chu Country. However, a large portion of them were homeless and homeless, wandering around the seven countries.
So if they could gather these survivors, they might be able to form a small army.
More importantly, when Tian Ze was really released, the way Tian Ze treated the Bai Yue survivors might be very different from how he treated them. This could separate the master-servant relationship between him and Yan Lingji.
Chu He was quite satisfied with his interactions with her over the past two days, so he was hesitating whether to let her go.
Therefore, he decided not to return it.
He glanced at Yan Lingji's figure from the corner of his eye, and this thought became deeper and deeper.
