At this moment, Li Zhi was holding a tattered set of clothes. There were even all kinds of stains on it, as well as a foul smell.
Ye Gucheng didn't think that he was a particular person, and perhaps he couldn't compare to Ximen Chuixue who was dressed in white. However, he would never be able to do it if he had to wear this beggar's clothes.
And now? The most respected Crown Prince of the Great Tang was actually taking off his clothes. This was obviously the beggar's clothes that he was going to change into!
"Your Highness, you can't! You are the crown prince of the Tang Empire, and you are incomparably noble. How can you wear such clothes?”
Ye Gucheng quickly said.
Li Zhi complained in his heart. Did he really think that he wanted to wear it? It was all because of the system. The first mission issued by the system was to disguise himself as a beggar and travel the world.
The system didn't say how long he had to disguise as a beggar.
However, the system had already planned out the route for him.
From the capital, he had to pass through the capital capital, Huazhou, Tongzhou. Regardless of whether it was on the way or not, the system's requirement was that he had to walk all over the Great Tang.
Since it was the system's mission requirement, how could Li Zhi not comply? He still wanted points.
Before he left Beijing, he had already spent the 100 points. He exchanged for the seeds of the new type of rice. There were dry rice and rice.
The harvest would be three times that of the current Tang Dynasty! Moreover, it could be done three times a year!
However, due to the limited number of seeds, it would take at least a year and a half to cultivate the seeds. After a year and a half, it could be directly laid out throughout the country.
Just 100 points could bring about something that could change the Tang Empire. Li Zhi's desire for points was very strong now.
"Alright, Gucheng. Since you said that you want to understand the sufferings of the people, then you naturally can't fall behind in begging.”
"Moreover, this is also a test for me. When the heavens are about to give a great responsibility to a person, they must first suffer their will, work their bones, starve their skin, empty their bodies, and mess up their actions. Therefore, they have to be patient and benefit from what they cannot do.”
Li Zhi shook his head as he finished speaking and then put on his beggar's clothes.
"Alright, you can hide. Unless my life is in danger, you are not allowed to appear.”
After saying that, Li Zhi walked unsteadily towards the main road in a pair of tattered cloth shoes.
Behind him, Ye Gucheng looked at Li Zhi who was walking away in a daze. He was extremely shocked. Although he was 100% loyal to Li Zhi, he had his own memories and thoughts.
He was sure that he had never heard of or even seen any monarch like this!
However, if Li Zhi really did it and tasted the sufferings of the people with his body, he would definitely be a benevolent ruler in the future!
"This is the blessing of the people of the Great Tang!"
Ye Gucheng sighed and then he disappeared like a puff of smoke.
Just like that, Li Zhi turned into a beggar and set off from outside the capital. He walked all the way through the capital city, Huazhou, Tongzhou, and other places. Along the way, he was penniless. He caught shrimps by the river and begged for a living.
He had eaten moldy and rancid food.
He had slept in a cold, damp cave.
Although he was complaining, it was just as the system had said. Along the way, he had indeed comprehended a lot. When he walked through the streets of the bustling city and saw the high-ranking officials and nobles chatting happily in twos and threes, he sighed even more in his heart.
Of course, he also met some beggars who had the ability to stand on their own feet, but they were lazy and lived by begging.
However, most of them had all kinds of helplessness, such as fleeing from famine, war, and other reasons.
It had been three months since he left the capital. Li Zhi was also familiar with his identity. He was a beggar. At the same time, Li Zhi also arrived at the Spiritual State.
"Hmm?"
However, as soon as he entered the Spiritual State, Li Zhi was stunned.
"Gucheng, has the Spiritual State always reported good weather, peace, and a bumper harvest?”
Li Zhi said faintly. Then, a voice echoed in Li Zhi's ears, but he could not see the person.
" Your Highness, that's true. For three years in a row, the Spiritual State has been reporting that the weather is good and the country is peaceful. The taxes paid every other year have even increased by several levels!”
"Yes, I even received His Majesty's praise. It was said that in less than two years, the magistrate of Lingzhou would be promoted to the imperial court of the capital.”
Apart from protecting Li Zhi, Ye Gucheng would also investigate the places Li Zhi was going to. Of course, all the information came from the capital. After all, Ye Gucheng had to follow Li Zhi, so he could not come to the place to investigate in advance.
Li Zhi nodded, his eyes flickering.
At this moment, what was displayed in front of him was not the so-called good weather, the country's prosperity, and the people's peace!
Li Zhi had also passed more than ten state capitals. Although they were not the so-called real prosperous times and there were also beggars and refugees in twos and threes, they were all normal.
After all, this was the Tang Dynasty, not the era of advanced technology in the future. In the Tang Dynasty, it was already very outstanding to be able to do what the previous few state capitals did.
However, the Spiritual State at this moment was simply outrageous!
This was only the first county town they had entered. Everywhere they saw were actually beggars and countless refugees. At this moment, apart from a few shops that were still open, there were refugees sitting or lying down everywhere.
"Looks like we'll have to pause our journey this time.”
Li Zhi said coldly.
"Gucheng, follow my instructions and inform the government troops of the Inner Pass!”
The Great Tang was now divided into fifteen! Then, it ruled over 360 state capitals! The Dao did not have a supreme administrative officer. It was only occasionally that the emperor would confer the title of public picket envoy. If one had to describe it, it was similar to the imperial envoy that everyone was familiar with.
For example, Li Zhi was currently in the Inner Pass Road. Li Zhi also had an identity that Li Shimin had personally given him. That was the 15 Public Order Emissaries!
Of course, this was not an official identity. It only meant that either Li Zhi or Ye Gucheng had 15 Public Order Emissaries 'Seals on them!
He was afraid that if there was really something wrong with the Spiritual State and they lied to the emperor, the entire Spiritual State would be turned upside down.
As a local tyrant, the state capital would inevitably be in some danger. Although Li Zhi was not worried, it would not be good to disturb the stability of the people and the country.
Therefore, Li Zhi had Ye Gucheng use his identity as the Public Order Envoy to move the Inner Pass Dao army!
The Inner Pass was the core of the Tang Dynasty! Just the town army alone had a total of 120,000 people! Was he afraid that he couldn't suppress a small magistrate of the Spiritual State?
