CEO Comes from Ancient Times - C219

The city and the city were separated by a wall, but the difference was obvious.

In the city, one could view the exquisite and luxurious buildings, smell the fragrance of food, meet high ranking officials riding horses, and also see rich and powerful people dressed in luxurious clothing. However, outside the city, as soon as Xi Sanmo landed, he saw many ragged beggars, men, women, and children.

They slept at the foot of the city walls. They had no tents, no blankets, and they were wrapped in a dirty, thin, tattered cloth. They were huddled together to keep warm, but the cold wind still made them shiver.

The trembling of the woman’s voice, the cough of the old man, and the weak cries of the young child could be heard incessantly as they rose and fell.

Shocked, Xi Sanmo!

“Why are there so many beggars here?” She no longer had any memories from before, and she had never left the city even after she returned. She had only seen the plentiful food and flowers of the imperial court in the city, but she had never thought that there would be such an unsightly life outside the city.

Chu Nantian was used to it. He stood beside Xi Sanmo and looked at the people who were struggling on the ground, “Most of the beggars are people who fled into the wilderness. They had no choice but to leave their hometowns during these desolate years. There were many officials in the capital who were more expensive. In terms of begging for survival, the chances of success were still better. Thus, they all rushed to the capital. However, the capital was the capital of a country. A beggar could go in and roam about, but he could not stay there. He would be chased out at night. In order to improve their chances of getting relief food from the government on the second day, they decided to gather here and use this as their home. ”

Paupers had existed since ancient times, and although this phenomenon could not be wiped out, it could be improved or reduced. They were all people who had hands and feet, and their bodies and minds were in perfect health. “The underdevelopment of agriculture has caused the displacement of the people to become extremely difficult. If we improve the farming, development of agriculture, construction of water canals, reduction of …”

Chu Nantian laughed and interrupted, “That’s a good idea, but to improve the farming and construction of the canals, it requires a lot of work. After all these years of war, although there were many good reports, the casualties were not to be ignored. “Men are always the ones who die, and the lack of men naturally results in the scarcity of labor. Although these beggars look like refugees, they are actually families that lack men. Without labour, how are they supposed to cultivate?”

“You’re right. If we want to completely eradicate the problem of the beggars, we must not only develop our agriculture, but also stop the war. However, the soldiers who died on the battlefield and died for their country had become the nation’s meritorious ministers, and were now the nation’s martyrs. If the families were to become beggars, who would dare and who would be willing to serve their country? Now that the war has ended and the country has settled down, the families of these martyrs must be taken seriously and guaranteed. “In order to let the heroes in the sky rest in peace, in order to make the warriors guarding the border feel at ease, when I come back, I will definitely inform His Royal Highness about this matter. His Royal Highness will definitely find a way to help them find a way out, and I will definitely not let them hide under the city wall like this, feeling wronged for the rest of their lives.”

She dressed up as a man and broke into the brothel at night, allowing Chu Nantian to see Xi Sanmo’s unrestrained temperament.

Lonely and tolerant, pure and kind, he also let Chu Nantian know the gentle side of the female side of Xi Sanmo.

However, he had never expected that this extraordinary woman, Xi Sanmo, would have such a noble and magnanimous heart. Not only did she care about the people around her, but she was also someone that could be considered by the common people of the world.

Prince Duan was the prince that the current emperor valued highly. The crown prince was just a facade, and the future dynasty would belong to him. Since Xi Sumo was the prince’s consort, once he ascended the throne, it would be natural for him to become a kingdom.

If the current her, a mere commoner, could think of a great scheme of the common people, then after she becomes the Imperial Mother, wouldn’t her heart be one with the common people of the world?

As the saying goes, the winner takes over the world, and Xi Sanmo’s kindness and fraternity would undoubtedly win the hearts of the people. This undoubtedly gave Prince Duan an additional arm of strength.

[No! I can’t let Prince Wei become stronger! I definitely can’t!]

If it could be said that the reason why Chu Nan Tian had wanted to make this decision was because of the relationship between his son and daughter, from this moment onwards, complicated political interests would be incorporated into the relationship!

If it was said that the dim light was not enough to see things clearly, then Chu Nantian could clearly see things in the distance and the hearts of people in the depths!

Deep, scheming, and probing, Chu Nantian looked at the face of Xi Sanmo’s righteousness and slowly said: “Miss Xi’s benevolence, the heart of Buddha, and the spirit of crying out injustice for the people is truly admirable, but I’m afraid Miss Xi is unaware that the peace of the heavens is not the true peace. Even if the King wants to help them, I’m afraid he has the heart to do so.”

“What do you mean?” Xi Sanmo was puzzled and turned his head to look at her. Her gentle gaze met with his gentle gaze, but she could not read the complicated emotions in his heart.

His smile was gentle and harmless, and he continued, “That’s right, all of the small nations surrounding the Heavenly Court have been conquered. For example, our Yin Mountain Country has already sworn loyalty to the Heavenly Court by paying tribute to their treasure and beauties every year. However, to the heavens, we, the small nations, are not even in the danger of destroying our nation.

This Xi Sanmo knew, she had just heard from the crown prince yesterday.

Chu Nantian stared at the expression on Xi Sumo’s face, his sharp eyes like the calculations of a shrewd merchant’s subordinate, he started to count down every bit of accounts, “Last year, the King Duan and the Young Wolf Lord had a negotiation, but the Young Wolf Lord never gave a reply. Now that the Young Wolf Lord has seized the position of Crown Prince, that country will eventually belong to him. If he did not want to live in peace with the heavens, then a new war would come soon. Once the war began, the imperial court would need more men and more money to fight. The refugees would increase in numbers, and the treasury would be in vain. Under these circumstances, how is the Prince going to help these beggars? ”

She hated war and was even more afraid of hearing the young child’s helpless cries, hence calling out to the women and children in a sad voice, “Although the power of the Country is strong, it is equal compared to the Sky Dynasty. If the Young Wolf Head was truly in a dilemma in the Sky Empire, and the Sky Empire is seriously on the verge of death, then I don’t think that the Domain at that time would be able to walk the world alone. Since both sides are not trying to please each other, and we’re not willing to hurt each other, how can Young Wolf Lord do it? ”

Chu Nantian laughed, “What Miss Xi said makes sense. Young Wolf Lord may have the same thoughts as Miss Xi, but don’t forget, Young Wolf Lord is a man with ambitions, he will never be afraid of death, much less the destruction of a country, because if he can’t get what he wants, then his life will have no meaning, and it would be better for him to die together. Therefore, in order for the Young Wolf Head to remain still with murderous intent, the Sky Dynasty had to come up with a cooperation plan that could move the Young Wolf Lord’s heart. “According to what I know, the Young Wolf Lord will soon come to the Heavenly Court to negotiate on this matter. Whether he succeeds or not will depend on this.”

After a long while, he finally regained his senses and smiled: “Listening to Young Master Chu speak so frankly, it makes me feel that Young Master Chu is not some wealthy merchant from the State of Yin Mountain, but rather the Young Wolf Lord himself. Otherwise, how would he know so much about his thoughts and movements?”

Chu Nantian was stunned for a moment, then laughed towards the sky: “Miss Xi must be joking, I know Young Wolf Lord because I love military and military affairs. If not for father’s objection, I would have already joined the army of Yin Mountain Country, serving the country.”

Xi Sumo no longer doubted him and nodded with a smile, “Then based on Young Master Chu’s many years of understanding of Young Wolf Lord, what kind of cooperation answer would the Young Lord come here for?”

“It’s not that Young Wolf Lord wants an answer, it’s that the Heavenly Court can give the Young Wolf Lord a kind of answer. If the Heavenly Court can give a godlike woman and this woman can stir the Young Wolf Lord’s mind, then I think, the Young Wolf Lord will definitely not make any trouble and will definitely choose to form an alliance to develop the powerful economies of the two countries.” Chu Nantian stared at the expression on Xi Sanmo’s face. He had other intentions.

Xi Sanming’s heart skipped a beat. He had a bad premonition and for some reason, she mumbled, “Marriage?”

Chu Nantian nodded confidently: “Since ancient times, marriage has always been an important means to maintain the peaceful relations between the two countries. If the Young Wolf Lord can have a beauty to accompany him, then what kind of fight can he fight? I’ve never heard that love of the river and mountains loves beauties more! ”

Xi Sanmo chuckled, “Hearing you say that, Young Wolf Lord is not an enlightened person. If he was an enlightened king, how could he not consider the common people of this world? How could he just go along with his personality and try to kidnap others? In this aspect, Prince Wei is much stronger than him, because when he sought him out for negotiations, it was for the sake of the common people and the common people in the world. ”

Chu Nantian’s face darkened, a look of displeasure appeared on his face. He could not listen to others saying that Prince Chu was good, and even if Xi Sanmo said so, it would be no good.

“If I ever get the chance to see Young Wolf Lord again, I will definitely tell him that he won’t be able to beat Prince Duan. This was because if the Emperor did not side with the people, the people would naturally not side with him. “Alright, let’s not talk about it for now. Wait for me for a while, I’ll take the clothes I changed yesterday and give them to use. After that, we can set off on our journey.”

Chu Nantian clenched his hands into fists, so much so that he didn’t even have a hand to stop Xi Sanmo.

There were too many people who needed help, and her power was limited by herself. The only thing she could do now was to give some slight warmth to the people who had to suffer the most, as she gave the thin jacket and outer clothes she had changed into yesterday to the crying child, the frail old lady.

She took out the remaining 20 taels of silver and gave it to a coughing woman, “Take this money with you. When the sun rises, you can go to the city to buy some medicine and some food. Everyone will work together to pass this trial. No matter what the Young Wolf Lord does, I will definitely think of a way to help you all when I return. I will definitely allow you all to return home as soon as possible and live happily ever after. ”

That group of people were still trembling with sleepiness, and before they could react, Xi Sanmo had already left. Chu Nantian whistled for the black BMW, and the two of them rode on their horses one after the other as they sprinted towards the southern side of the trail.

Looking at the direction they disappeared in, the beggar looked at each other and mumbled.

“Who is she?”

“I don’t know him.”

“She said she wanted to help us? Is that for real or fake? ”

“The clothes are real, so is the silver.”

“Then it must be real, it must be real …”

“Bodhisattva ah, it must be Bodhisattva appearing, it must be Bodhisattva descending to the mortal world …”

As time passed, the sky became clearer. Even with Huo Li’s order, the city gates were still opened on time. However, no one was allowed to come out, not even the food cart.

The starving beggars could only queue up and register, entering the city to pick up their rations. The sun was shining down on their bodies, and the cold of the night was no longer felt.

Xiao Budian and Luo Shan spent the entire night searching for him. They were tired, but they were afraid that Xi Sanmo might leave the city amidst the crowd. They didn’t dare to go back to the manor and rushed to the True Sun Sect together.

Looking left and right, the two of them did not see Xi Sanmo in the crowd.

Luo Shan’s heart was burning with anxiety. The corner of her mouth curled up as her eyes turned red from the pain. She had searched every corner of the capital for the entire night, but there hadn’t been any news at all. “Xiao Bufan, you said Miss will go …”

Before she could finish speaking, her gaze fell on a beggar woman carrying a child while receiving rations. There was a piece of clothes wrapped around the child’s body. It was the young lady’s clothes, the young lady’s clothes …

Heavens, how did they get the Miss’s clothes? What did they do to the Lady?
