"I will consider this matter."

In a flash of fog, Luo Shuiqing disappeared.

Qing Hui slowly raised his head, and with a pair of eyes as clear as still water, he looked towards the place where Luo Shuiqing had stood.

His face was calm, but there were some ripples in his eyes...

Luo Shuiqing appeared again and had arrived at the market dozens of miles away.

As soon as the sky brightened, people got up to work. On the main road in the center of the market, many vendors who set up stalls had already started selling their goods.

"Miss, do you want to buy some food? Hot sorghum cakes, very sweet."

"I have some cornmeal steamed buns to keep you going when you're hungry."

Seeing Luo Shuiqing walking alone in the market, vendors all came to sell their food with smiles on their faces.

Luo Shuiqing stopped in front of a stall selling sorghum cakes.

"Give me one."

"All right, one penny."

The uncle wrapped the pancake for Luo Shuiqing, looked at the patches on his clothes, and asked.

"You don't seem to be having a good life."

The uncle smiled innocently.

"We just experienced a drought in the first half of the year. We are lucky to have something to eat. How can we afford to buy bright clothes?"

Luo Shuiqing took a bite and it was barely edible, but it was not delicious. Thinking of the food Yin Qingxuan had brought out, he asked again, "Those high-ranking officials, who have luxurious clothes and delicious food all day long and have a horde of servants, don't you bear any grudges against them?"

The uncle rubbed his hands and said, "This is incomparable, and there is nothing to hold a grudge against. Everyone is born into different classes. Although the officials are a little rich, they have earned it through merit. The new emperor of our Great Zhou is fair and honest, and he only employs the talented. He will not keep idle people."

The corn bun seller next to him also came over and said, "Uncle Liu is right. The new emperor has already issued an edict that poor students can also take the imperial examinations. He has also ordered the Imperial College to send someone to the capital to welcome our poor students. Now we don't have to report to the higher authorities like before. It's hard to move around without money. As long as the Imperial College approves, we can take the exams, both civil and military. My brothers have already rushed to the capital."

Abandon the clan and promote the poor?

Wasn’t Emperor Zhou afraid that the clans would unite and shake the foundation of the country?

The royal family has always relied on the support of prominent families. Would the emperor really do this?

It's possible that they were just drawing a pie in the sky for them.

"I think the emperor is just giving the common people hope. How could he allow children from poor families to enter the court?"

The uncle waved his hands repeatedly.

"No, Mr. Xie from the same village has sent a letter back. It is indeed the residence arranged by the Imperial College. The emperor specially built a large post station in the capital for them to live in. At present, the emperor only employs talents, and the Great Zhou will surely prosper."

The man selling eggs nearby also came over.

"Yes, the taxes are much lower now, and the people really see a way out. Some places are even distributing seeds. Our place is a bit remote, but I believe we can get them soon."

"It was very dry here before. If the emperor hadn't ordered us to dig wells, we would have had trouble getting food."

"Yes, I heard that the seeds can grow white noodles and can be used to make a variety of food."

Everyone was talking at once, and the discussion was heated.

Luo Shuiqing had left quietly. She walked to the fields, and sure enough, she could see a spring every fifty steps.

Looking at the people working in the fields and talking and laughing, Luo Shuiqing felt mixed emotions.

When the stone was unsealed, she really wanted to kill all those Zhou people and avenge the Feiyao Kingdom, but when she saw that the people were living and working in peace and contentment, she couldn't help but ask herself.

What is the significance of doing this?

Do you really want to disregard the lives of millions of people for your own selfish reasons?
