Chapter 2 The incredibly poor prince
With these treasure chests, the bandits no longer cared about Li Yewu, and held their butts to carry the things to their own team, and they were busy coming and going.
It can be seen from the whiteness of their knuckles when they moved the box and their shoulders fell down. The box was very heavy, with either gold or silver inside.
Moreover, the two sides are extremely familiar with each other, which proves from the fact that King Shang has done his first act of giving money to the bandits.
Who is Shang Wang...
Li Yewu couldn't help but recall the King of Shang in the original work.
The King of Shang of the Great Chu Empire, ranked fifth in the old age and was famous for Xiao Jiuxi. He was young and smart and loved by his father. A few years ago, the emperor gave him the latest small country he won as a coming-of-age gift.
Since then, he has become the third prince in Da Chu with a fief.
Moreover, every year Xiao Jiuxi can get the most abundant pocket money from the emperor, and what he gets is the exclusive favor that other princes cannot match.
Among the princes who are either cold, kind, gentle or humble, he has made a fresh and refined flower path with his cynicism and gained the admiration of many readers.
However, Lao Wu had no self in the battle for the throne. He was not interested in becoming the emperor. He chose to stand on the side of the fourth brother on the road to the throne. After helping the fourth brother kill the third brother, he fell into the trap and even the fourth brother who ascended the throne in the end was not the fourth brother.
Strictly speaking, the fifth brother Xiao Jiuxi is like the original owner Li Yewu, but Xiao Jiuxi has more scenes than Li Yewu, and after Li Yewu went to the fiefdom, there was no such person. However, Xiao Jiuxi was killed in battle and cried.
Li Yewu used the shortest time to review Xiao Jiuxi's life and couldn't help but shake her head.
Although the emperor's exclusive favor to Xiao Jiuxi was rare, it also helped him develop the character of being a second-generation ancestor.
Not to mention that he has no vision to stand in the wrong team, just looking at the jurisdiction he manages is a headache.
Bandits came to the door to grab money at will, poor and beggars gathered, the guards of the royal palace were depressed, and the servants took the initiative to please the bandits...
With this smoky scene, how did he be the best in the school exam every year? With his extraordinary beauty, unruly charm and a perfect tongue?
Just when Li Yewu was extremely despised Xiao Jiuxi, the bandits had tied up the goods and left happily.
Before leaving, he waved to her: "Princess Shang, you have a happy wedding and have a son soon. I'll wait for your full moon wine."
"..." Li Yewu.
After the bandits left, the housekeeper then ran to Li Yewu in slightest steps and bowed: "The little lady is frightened, I will take you into the mansion to rest."
As he said that, he waved his hand behind him: "Zi Cui is still standing there, why are you doing? Come and help your wife quickly."
"Yes." The little girl named Zicui came forward obediently and helped Li Yewu walk towards the palace quickly. The speed seemed to be slow and sorry for herself.
Li Yewu staggered and followed Zi Cui toward the mansion. When she was about to enter the door, she looked back with some emotion, but this glance scared her.
I saw the beggars who were originally hiding deep in the alley and watching, rushing here like a flood.
Even these beggars ran and said, "Princess, princess, be fine, give us some food."
"Princess, please give me some silver rewards, we are almost starving to death."
"Princess, please give me some."
The number is definitely no less than three or five hundred people.
Li Yewu paused and wanted to confirm the situation again, but the butler anxiously held Li Yewu's other hand and worked with Zi Cui to carry Li Yewu in.
Then the guards quickly closed the door and locked it, even the broken carriage she came.
???
Li Yewu was shocked again. What is the situation of this god?
The group of people seemed to be hiding from the plague god, and they didn't barely stop until they returned to the inner hall of the palace.
Li Yewu was confused: "Who are those people? Refugees who fled to famine?"
The housekeeper looked sad: "The little lady doesn't know that there is no famine here, and that is not the hungry people, but the poor in the slums."
"Slum?" Li Yewu was a little surprised.
Slums were a product of the 1820s, especially those in India and Brazil. In ancient times, there was no concept of slums.
However, Li Yewu thought again, this is a novel. Not to mention slums, even if there is a spacecraft, it seems reasonable.
She opened her mouth awkwardly and accepted the setting weakly, and then said, "Since that's the case, just give some money, why bother looking like a hell..."
Anyway, I could send money to the bandits in ten or eight boxes just now, so why bother to care about this poor man? Why did the dignified Prince Shang’s mansion make itself so embarrassed?
Thinking of the scene where she was being carried in the door just now, those who didn't know thought that those people were zombies.
The housekeeper was indecent, "The slums in Taihe City are not just these people? If you give one, thousands of people will flock to you. If we are afraid of them, we will be afraid of ghosts.
And the little lady doesn’t know that our palace is not sent out. There is nothing left in the mansion, and where can we get the remaining money to give them?"
??????
Isn’t Xiao Jiuxi the emperor’s favorite son?
Among the many princes, he is the one who rewards the most. Will he lose money?
Besides, didn’t you just return ten or eight boxes to deliver the money?
Li Yewu glanced at the butler silently and thought, "This old man is not honest and doesn't tell her the truth."
But... Soon, Li Yewu knew that what the butler said was really literal, and it was not an exaggeration at all. The Shang Palace was really out of money!
The old butler took her around Shangwang Mansion, and even the study, warehouse and other important places were not left behind. He didn't mind that she was low in status and was not qualified to visit.
At first, Li Yewu was a little flattered, but after looking around, she finally understood.
Although the outside of the Shang Palace is grand and grand, it is actually a strong man on the outside: the warehouse is empty, and there are no valuable cultural and antiques in the living room and even the room. Nothing is left except for the basic tables, chairs, and benches. The home is full of walls to describe Shang Palace as a high-profile person.
What is even more exaggerated than this is that the study in King Shang’s mansion has the most accumulated books but various IOUs.
No wonder the butler didn't avoid the important place in the study and took her to visit everywhere. It turned out that there was nothing else here except IOU, and there was nothing to guard against her.
As a super infrastructure engineer who has built countless five-star towns, she has seen more deserted places, but no matter how barren the place is, there will be a few ancient buildings or antiques as cultural heritage to maintain the lifeline of the city.
And here, the palace of Shangwang and Shangwang’s territory are so poor that they are left with IOUs, which is simply outrageous!
"Mrs. I don't know that there are too many refugees in Taihe. In recent years, my master has already lost all his money to support the refugees. Now our mansion is just outside the door, and all the valuable things in the family are taken as a matter of by my master."
