Da Qin: Old Zhao, I am really not a fairy

Page 278

"Just here, you can't tell how the people are doing!"

Thinking of this, Zhao Sheng took Yu Ziqi and walked towards the village.

In the current season, there are still people farming.

Zhao Sheng grabbed the mud from the ground and wiped it on Yu Ziqi's body.

Yu Ziqi looked at Zhao Sheng incomprehensibly, and asked aloud, "Your Highness, what are you doing?"

On the other hand, after Zhao Sheng smeared mud on Yu Ziqi's body, he also put some on Yu Ziqi's clean face.

"You'll find out later."

After all, Zhao Sheng didn't let go of himself at the same time, and also smeared mud on his body.

Under the leadership of Zhao Sheng, they came to the homes of ordinary farmers very casually.

"Uncle, can I ask for some water?" Zhao Sheng saw a person sitting in the courtyard of the farmer's house, so he stepped forward and asked.

The old man glanced at the two of them, seeing that they were dressed as if they were fleeing famine.

"You wait, I'll get it for you!"

The old man then stood up and walked tremblingly into the house.

After a while, the old man came to Zhao Sheng and Yu Ziqi with a ladle of water.

"Thank you uncle!" Zhao Sheng said gratefully.

Yu Ziqi on the side looked at the muddy water and found it hard to swallow.

Yu Ziqi hesitated to speak, but Zhao Sheng took the ladle of water and took a big gulp.

"Don't think the water is dirty, old man, this is what I drink every day!"

"I'm getting old, I can't fetch water, it's fine if I can drink it." The old man said very roughly.

"Old man, why are you alone at home?" Zhao Sheng asked.

"My son went to the battlefield and died a long time ago..." The old man's expression gradually became a little lonely.

"You guys are so handsome, not like my son."

The more the old man said, the more excited he became.

"Uncle!" Zhao Sheng supported the old man, and continued, "Thank you for the water, uncle, this is water money!"

The old man's face darkened, and his head shook like a rattle.

"I can't take this money, take it back quickly, don't torture me!"

"Old man, I'm just a pariah. I don't know when I lay on the bed and left..."

"How come!"

Zhao Sheng helped the old man by his arm and talked with him for a long time.

"Old man, has your crop been sown?"

"My body is failing, and I can't plant land."

"Old man, I'll plant it for you!" Zhao Sheng said.

"No, no!" The old man pulled Zhao Sheng and Yu Ziqi, refusing to let them farm.

"Uncle, the two of us drank your life-saving water. If we don't contribute, my brother and I will have a bad conscience!"

Regardless of the old man's dissuasion, Zhao Sheng forcibly went to the field to plant the unseeded land for the old man.

Seeing Zhao Sheng doing farm work, Yu Ziqi hurried forward and said, "His Royal Highness, let me come!"

Zhao Sheng teased, "You are the only one who knows how to farm, so go aside!"

Yu Ziqi looked at Zhao Sheng in embarrassment.

Speaking of which, Yu Ziqi really doesn't know how to farm, but he can't just watch Prince Zhao Sheng work alone!

After the ground is sown.

The old man called out from a distance, "Young man, come and eat!"

Zhao Sheng put down the farm work in his hands and walked slowly towards the old man.

"This old man doesn't have delicacies from mountains and seas, so don't dislike it!" The old man usually eats more ordinary food alone, and it is slightly improved because of the introduction of Yu Ziqi and Zhao Sheng.

"How come, thank the old man for the stuttering."

The old man grinned, since his son died in battle, it seems that he has not been as happy as he is today for a long time.

For this meal, there is only simple sweet potato porridge and potatoes, and there is no seasoning, so the taste is extremely bland.

But Zhao Sheng ate this meal longer than any other meal in the palace.

Before leaving, without the old man noticing, Zhao Sheng put down a few pieces of Qin Qin at the bottom of the bowl.

"Uncle, let's say goodbye. I will come to see Uncle again when I have the opportunity."

"I am already very grateful to you for coming today, old man."

On the way back, Zhao Sheng blamed himself a lot.

"It's my dereliction of duty!"

Although I want to add benefits to the Qin people and improve the lives of the Qin people.

But Zhao Sheng actually forgot the most desolate old man.

The previous benefits were all added to the veterans who joined the army, but apart from veterans, there are many sons who went out to join the army, and only the elderly are left in the family.

"His Royal Highness, you have done a good job!" Yu Ziqi said solemnly.

People are not saints, and Zhao Sheng's ability to do this has already made Yu Ziqi very admired.

"No..." Zhao Sheng didn't make excuses for this!

Performance cannot be judged in everything, especially in governing the country.
