Li Jiancheng's voice was loud and clear.
It resounded among the commoners. The commoners who were holding porridge bowls also gathered at this moment.
Li Jiancheng didn't say anything funny.
Most of the people he wanted to win over could understand him.
The commoners were also discussing animatedly.
"Second Uncle, do you think what this official said is true?”
"Yeah, he can't be lying to us again, right?”
"Sigh, the imperial court has been providing disaster relief every year, but it's all thunder and no rain. The porridge they give out can even be used as a mirror.”
Everyone looked at Second Uncle because Second Uncle was the elder among them.
The second uncle coughed twice and looked at Li Jiancheng with respect.
" Cough cough, cough, shut up. The congee in Chang 'an doesn't pour even when the chopsticks are inserted. That's because His Majesty pities us. It was those dog officials who kept His Majesty's silver.”
"What official? This is His Highness. This old man has already asked around. This is the previous Crown Prince, the eldest son of His Majesty.”
"How can he lie?"
" His Highness also said that you will be paid the same as the people in Chang 'an. Let me ask you, Gou Dan, how much did you get for a day's work in Chang' an?"”
"Second Uncle, I've done more than them," Goudan said with an aggrieved expression.”
"But they didn't even get half of it. They said that we came from the countryside and that our lives were cheap.”
Goudan said.
Everyone was furious and felt insulted.
However, she had no choice but to lower her head under the eaves. She had to eat after all.
Second Uncle also looked at them and said,"Sigh, I've watched you grow up. It's already not easy to get all the way to Chang 'an.”
"His Majesty is really good to us. Since they are not saying anything, then our Xue Family Village will take the lead and go with His Highness to take a look.”
Second Uncle said as he walked forward.
Behind him was a group of young and strong laborers.
"Your Highness, is what you said true?" he asked Li Jiancheng. If it's true, then our Xue Family Village is willing to go with you to the mine to take a look.”
"Our Xue Village has a total of 227 households. After walking here, there are only 163 households left.”
"But there are still young and strong laborers, and the rest of the women can also be sewn and mended. They won't eat for free.”
Li Jiancheng looked at the Second Uncle's white beard and hair. At such an old age, he immediately jumped down from the high platform and walked up to him."Old man, don't worry. I, Li Jiancheng, am telling the truth.”
"And with so many people listening, they definitely won't go back on their words.”
"You're the first ones who are willing to go. I'll give you the best place in Xue Village, so you can come with me now.”
"Food and clothes will also be sent to the mountain. You don't have to do anything these days.”
"There's plenty of wood and stone on the mountain. With a place to settle down, you'll have a home.”
Li Jiancheng's words made the people of Xue Village shed tears.
At home.
They still had a home there.
Many brothers, sisters, parents, and relatives had died on the road.
Hearing Li Jiancheng's words, Second Uncle also shed tears. He wanted to kneel down in front of Li Jiancheng, but Li Jiancheng quickly supported him.
However, he did not manage to support the group of people behind Second Uncle.
"Your Highness, I thank you on behalf of the people of Xue Village."”
Li Jiancheng supported him and looked at all the people.""Commoners, you can choose not to believe me, but you must believe that His Majesty is sincerely good to you.”
"These things are not my credit. They are all orders from His Majesty.”
After Li Jiancheng finished speaking.
The commoners kneeled down.
His voice was mournful.
Li Jiancheng stood there. He didn't know why, but when he was the Crown Prince, countless people who wanted to curry favor with him knelt down before him. All of them had extremely respectable statuses.
However, he only felt that it was laughable. The lowly lives in the mouths of those big shots were kneeling before him.
He shouted loudly.
When he thanked His Majesty and His Highness.
He felt like crying.
The Great Tang did not kneel, but they had nothing to show for their great kindness. Only by kneeling could they express their gratitude.
Li Jiancheng rubbed his eyes and let out a long breath. He looked at the second uncle beside him and said with certainty,"Old sir, don't worry. As long as the disaster relief is not resolved, I will return to Chang 'an.”
"In the future, if you are not used to staying in Chang 'an, you can also go back to your hometown to take a look.”
Second Uncle's eyes revealed a trace of longing.
When one was old, it would always be like a fallen leaf returning to its roots.
"Will there be such a day?" he muttered.”
"Don't worry, there will be such a day." Li Jiancheng said firmly.”
After Li Jiancheng finished speaking, he looked at all the disaster victims and said,"It's getting late. We'll go to the mine now. Those with strong bodies and strength will gather in the name of the village. When we reach the mine, we'll divide the area and start building houses.”
"Women, wait here first. When we have a place to stay, we will go.”
"In the next few days, the women will be paid for washing clothes and cooking. Don't worry, since you are citizens of the Great Tang, when you are in trouble, the Great Tang will take care of you.”
The more Li Jiancheng spoke, the clearer his ambition became.
He wasn't that high and mighty.
He wasn't talking about the Four Books and Five Classics, etiquette and spring and autumn, but he felt more at ease.
Li Jiancheng looked at the Imperial Palace and the Eastern Palace."Perhaps Imperial Father already knew that Shimin would be more suitable there, and I have things that I'm more suited to do.”
"Imperial Father, don't worry. Your son will definitely achieve something this time and make you look at him in a new light!”
