Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty Eight: The wine and meat of Zhumen stink, and the road has frozen to
He staggered by with messy hair, and he looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, his face was not dirty, his facial features were clearly recognized, and he was not an ugly person.
Just talking to himself, his face made him a little hideous.
He staggered by under the wall, his thin body trembling in the storm of autumn hair.
At the sight of him, a beggar walked past him. An old lady in her sixties, with wrinkles on her face, gray hair, arched with her body, her eyes were turbid, and she murmured from time to time what others couldn't understand.
Not far from the beggar, there was a little girl about four or five years old. She knelt on the cold ground and kept kowtowing to passers-by.
I hope others can appreciate her some food, even a little firewood...
There was blood at the kowtow on her ground, and she seemed to feel the pain and kept doing this.
Because next to her, there was a rotten straw mat, and there was a woman lying on the straw mat, probably the little girl's mother.
The woman was also dressed in rags. She seemed to be sick, with pale face, chapped lips, and shivering...
There is a beggar, an elderly, a woman, a child every few steps, a normal person with healthy limbs, and a disabled person with broken fingers and broken legs...
At this time, a large house door opened next to the road, and a servant wearing a felt hat walked out of it.
The servant walked out with a dustpan. When he saw the scene in front of the door, he frowned slightly, muttered and cursed a few words...
Seeing this servant come out, the young man in his 17 or 18 eyes lit up, and then he hurriedly ran over...
He is just the first one, but in fact, people are rushing to come like this.
"Give some food, some food!"
"A kind person!"
The servant was even more disdainful, but he was even more proud.
He was just a servant, the lowest-ranking servant in the house, but now he enjoyed this. He straightened his back and raised his head hard.
Imitating the master in the mansion, he shouted: "Why don't you die? Have you eaten? There are some ashes..."
He picked up the dustpan in his hand and raised it up to the front, causing a piece of dust to sway the people all over his body and faces.
But they didn't seem to care, and they were busy crawling on the ground and groping...
The rich families burn charcoal, which is not clean, and there are some cinders and charcoal, which is what they need.
"Mine, this is mine."
"I found it first."
There were noises everywhere, and some people even started to tear up because of a small piece of charcoal...
Seeing this scene, the servant wiped his nose disdainfully, and then returned to the mansion. When he opened the door, he passed through the half-open door...
You can faintly hear the singing and dancing life inside!
You can sniff it, and the aroma of meat inside is dissipated!
"The rich people smelled of wine and meat, and they were frozen to death on the road!"
Putting down the curtain of the car, Wang Kang sighed in a low voice. It was not the first time he saw such a scene...
Shangjing City is located in Weiyang Province and is at its most central location.
Going north, out of Weiyang, and entering northern Xinjiang, the situation was completely different, and Wang Kang really knew...
The Zhao State, which seemed prosperous on the surface, pulled away the fig leaf, and it turned out to be so devastated.
Autumn has begun.
An autumn rain, a cold.
The north wind whistled, and the more you walked north, the colder the weather became. Along the way, I saw too many people, displaced, hungry and uncovered.
This is the real truth!
This is the real Zhao State!
The nobles enjoy extravagantly, the wealth distribution is uneven, the drought is dead, the flood is dead, the gap between the rich and the poor is too large...
Local officials did nothing, at least Wang Kang did not take any measures when he saw him.
Whether it is opening a warehouse to release grain or applying rice and porridge, I have never seen it...
Instead, it oppresses the people.
Li Qingman asked, "Does Emperor Zhao know about this situation?"
"I know, but there is no way."
"What do you mean?"
Wang Kang said coldly: "The disaster relief funds issued by the court cannot be avoided by the local government offices. How can they be put into the hands of the people through layers of exploitation?"
"After all, it's Liu Zhang's problem. He is the biggest powerful man in the northern border province!"
"No wonder Emperor Zhao is going to implement the new policy."
"No, the implementation of the new policy is only to treat the symptoms but not the root cause!"
Wang Kang said in a deep voice: "The upper class of the entire northern border province, from the governor to the local prefectures, has become corrupt!
"In this case, there is only one way!"
“What is it?”
"Not destruction, no one can establish!"
Xie Wanying, who had been listening on the side, said, "Suppose all the original existences and establish a new order!"
"Govern by doing nothing, the Supreme One is the only one!"
When riding in the same car, Xie Wanying already knew that Wang Kang had already told Li Qingman about everything about her, so she simply did not hide it and made it clear.
"Outsiders don't understand the fundamental teachings of my Supreme Church."
Xie Wanying said again: "But we are truly sympathetic to the sufferings of the people and save the sufferings of the world."
"Why should there be imperial power? Why should there be a country? Why should people be divided into different levels? There are nobles and civilians?"
"Why are some people born slaves? Some women born prostitutes?"
"People are born equal, and everyone should be equal, and there is no need for others to control. This is the perfect life..."
When Xie Wanying was talking, there seemed to be a glow above her delicate face. Her originally charming temperament actually had a holy smell at this moment.
After hearing this, Wang Kang shook his head and said, "What you are talking about is contradictory!"
"Where is the conflict!"
"Govern by doing nothing, the Supreme One is the only one!"
Wang Kang said lightly: "Since everyone is equal, why should we be the supreme and supreme again!"
"The Supreme One, above everyone else, is an extremely high rule, and an existence that transcends the secular imperial power!"
"According to your statement, can I understand that you, the Supreme Sect, want to become the greatest imperial power and enslave the entire continent!"
"You are misinterpreting, we are the Supreme Teaching..."
"stop,"
Wang Kang raised his hand to stop Xie Wanying and continued, then shook his head and said, "I don't want to argue with you about these things because they don't make any sense."
"You've been brainwashed."
Xie Wanying dissatisfied and said, "You have been brainwashed. Only when you truly understand what we do can you know how great it is!"
"You are the savior, saving the people from water and fire..."
Upon hearing this, Wang Kang said in a deep voice: "There has never been true equality in this world, and it is impossible to have true equality!"
"And I don't have that big ambition and ideal. I just want to protect my relatives and lovers in this troubled times, which is enough!"
"You must understand that the fittest will survive!"
"Survival of the fittest..."
Xie Wanying murmured this sentence, fell into deep thought, and the carriage returned to calm. Wang Kang lifted up the curtain of the car and looked at the loneliness outside.
He knew that Xie Wanying was right at least, and that he would not be able to break it and establish it...
