Du Qi and Du Ye traveled northward, not in a carriage, but on horseback. The two horses are not considered good horses, and Du Ye is still a batch of foals. The two of them also had a guard, and they hurried on their way. Along the way, Du Ye became a chatterbox, looking at the scene around him with a look of anticipation.
It's just that on such a day, after walking for three days, Du Ye's original excitement gradually faded away, and there was no more excitement, because many places are similar, and there is not much difference.
Coming and going, saw a lot of people.
Especially this way north, Du Ye began to shoulder the task of cooking. He is not very old, but in fact, when he was in the imperial capital, although he was not a coddled person, he was the prince of a country after all, so he still used his clothes to stretch out his hands to eat and his mouth to open his mouth.
Now following Du Qi, it is not easy to be responsible for washing, cooking and taking care of Du Qi along the way.
Du Ye persisted for a while, and then began to complain.
It's not easy.
What's more, Du Ye specifically debated with Du Qi, thinking that there was no need to do this.
Du Qi refuted Du Ye's words at the time, that is, Du Ye, as the heir apparent of the Xia Kingdom, did not need to do these things, but he needed to understand them. The reason is very simple, Du Ye can't be physically inattentive, or can't distinguish grains, at least he needs to know these things.
Especially when Du Ye was traveling north with Du Qi, sometimes he would not take the big road, but would take some small roads to see the people around him, and sometimes even stay at the people's homes, so that he could see the situation of the people.
After staying overnight for a while, Du Ye knew the situation of the local people. Although most of the local people do not lack food and clothing nowadays, it is impossible to have meat every day from every household. Most people can eat meat every now and then, which is already very difficult. happy thing.
Du Ye has been understanding and watching from the sidelines. After seeing this, he gradually fell silent.
The life of the people in Xia Kingdom is still far from enough.
When Du Ye was chatting with Master Donggong, the news he got was that Xia Kingdom is now a peaceful and prosperous age. The people of the Xia Kingdom are all well-fed and well-fed, and they all live a very good life, and they all have food and clothing, which is an unprecedented situation.
Du Ye always thought that Xia Guo was very good.
The people's life is very good.
After all, Du Ye has always been in the palace, and his food is extremely rich. But Du Ye didn't expect that the common people did have clothes and food, but this kind of clothes and food was just not hungry. Even the clothes of the common people are very old. According to Du Ye's knowledge, many common people wear a piece of clothing for several years, even with countless patches, they are reluctant to throw it away. As for children, it is even more difficult to pick up the clothes of adults, and it is impossible to make new clothes.
The situation in one place and one place refreshed Du Ye's understanding of the world and the people, making Du Ye realize the hardships of the people at the bottom.
Du Ye's expression also gradually changed.
It's not the same anymore.
There was a lot of thought on his face, and a sad look on his face, because he found that it was not an easy thing to change everything in Xia Guo, so that the people of Xia Guo could eat meat every meal.
Entering June, the weather is even hotter.
At this time, Du Qi and Du Ye had already entered the Western Regions and came to the territory of Yanqi Prefecture.
Yanqi Prefecture is also extremely critical in the Western Regions.
In this area, the people live a good life.
But there are more laborers, because Yanqi Prefecture in the Western Regions is a transit place, and a lot of food and materials are transported here. In today's extremely hot weather, even though the weather is hot, people from all over the territory of Yanqi Prefecture are still working and busy.
In such weather, Du Ye was very uncomfortable in the sun. He saw countless people working and people carrying supplies, and his heart was even more shocked. Because not long after noon, Du Qi and Du Ye were resting in a restaurant.
Because it is by the window on the second floor, you can see the outside situation.
Du Ye said: "Father, it's just past noon and it's hot. At this time, why don't they take a break and come back to work when the sun is not so hot?"
Du Qi said: "Look at these people who are carrying supplies, everyone is sweating profusely, and each of them is even out of breath. It is very hard work. You said that they wait for the sun to not be so hot after noon before making money. But, money will be placed in front of them, let them make money whenever they want?"
"impossible."
"But most of them are raising a family by themselves.??All the family members count on them to make money to support their families. How are they going to support their families if they procrastinate and miss out on the best opportunities to make money? "
"When a businessman does business, he is in a hurry. If the price is given, someone will naturally do it."
"If you don't go, someone else will go."
Du Qi said in a deep voice: "Such a very simple truth is the situation of most people in this world. In this world, the vast majority of people are wandering on the line of supporting their families. To be able to support their families, It¡¯s already great to have a job that makes money, how can I expect anything else.¡±
After hearing Du Qi's words, Du Ye fell silent and clenched his fists.
He is clever and clever, but in fact, he has never seen any real hard work and has never been baptized by blood. Now that I see the difficulty of living in this world, I am very touched.
Du Ye stared at the people on the street carrying big packages and continued on their way, and said, "Father, in the lifetime of my son, I will definitely change these things so that the people of my country of Xia can live a better life. At least, it won't happen in such a place. Under the scorching sun, I¡¯m still working hard.¡±
Du Qi smiled and said: "If you have this ambition, it is worthwhile to bring you out alone. Today's Xia Kingdom has just been established. Although it looks like Haiyan and Heqing, everything is very good. But in fact, the life of the people is not very good Good. All of this needs to be managed from generation to generation and needs to be changed a little bit. It is impossible to do things overnight, and it is impossible to be perfect. If you can change a little bit and become better and better, that is great. "
Du Ye said: "The son remembers his father's teachings."
Du Qi said: "Let's have some tea. Along the way, we live and sleep in the open, and it's not easy for you."
Du Ye nodded.
If he had heard Du Qi's words before, he might not have taken it seriously. Because what he has come into contact with is not the most bitter side. Because what he saw was either rich or expensive. Especially his masters, they all said that today is a peaceful and prosperous age, and they all said that Du Qi's attack has surpassed that of Emperor Qin, Han and Wu. Everything he received conflicted with Du Qi's words.
Now that he has come into contact with everything at the bottom of the Xia Kingdom and the lives of the people at the bottom, he knows that the Xia Kingdom needs Haiyan and Heqing, and that everything in the Xia Kingdom needs to be developed, which is far from enough.
It is still far away from the prosperity of Xia Kingdom.
It is still not enough to reach the peace and prosperity of Xia Kingdom.
Du Ye drank tea, looked out the window at the busy workers coming and going, and at the people coming and going outside the window, feeling silent. By now, he had some ideas in his mind.
Du Qi looked at Du Ye, but he never disturbed him, drinking tea quietly. For Du Ye, many things were encountered for the first time, and they might cause shocks, but they had to be accepted.
