Su Ling's eyes turned to the guards beside him: "Why, all the workers in the village have evacuated. Did I ask all the workers to evacuate because I came to the village?"

"Perhaps the tea concubine doesn't want anyone to disturb your rest, right?"

The eldest prince closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then said: "It can't be like this. This woman must have ulterior motives. The market that was being prepared in the village suddenly stopped working? Is she trying to drive me away?"

"No way. How could she have such an idea? Neither Li Zheng nor the county magistrate said anything. Why would she, a child, have such an idea?"

The eldest prince sneered and ordered: "Send the order and reward each household with fifty taels of silver. By the way, I want to know why the workers here don't start working?"

"As you command, eldest prince!" the guards responded in unison.

Soon, news spread in the village: "The new eldest prince has started to hand out money, and he is in the drying yard!"

The guards who were beating the gongs also cheered up. The sound of gongs and drums echoed in the village, and the whole village suddenly became lively.

People flocked to the drying yard, some with curiosity, some with expectation. The children in the village also followed the crowd, laughing and playing.

When they arrived at the drying yard, they saw the eldest prince standing on the stage, with neat rows of guards behind him. He glanced at everyone with cold eyes, then raised the silver in his hand and said loudly: "This is your reward, take it back and live a good life!"

People seemed to be shocked by the eldest prince's words, and no one moved for a while.

Suddenly, a childish voice broke the silence. A little boy squeezed out from the crowd. He excitedly pointed at the silver in the eldest prince's hand and shouted, "Look, there's a lot of silver!"

The eldest prince's eyes fell on the little boy, and a smile appeared on his lips. He walked up to the little boy and handed him the silver in his hand. The little boy's eyes widened and he looked at Yinzi in disbelief, then he looked up at the eldest prince, his eyes full of gratitude.

People around him also began to come forward to receive the rewards. For a time, the drying yard was filled with laughter and laughter. The children were walking among the crowd, playing and playing, while the eldest prince stood aside and watched everything with a smile.

Liang Shuyan squeezed into the crowd and saw the eldest prince at a glance. She hurriedly walked over and wanted to talk to him. However, the eldest prince did not seem to notice her arrival. He was concentrating on watching the people receiving the rewards.

Liang Shuyan felt a little unhappy, but she still suppressed her emotions and said softly: "First Prince, you are so generous."

The eldest prince turned his head and smiled slightly, "Tea boy, you are here."

People around were busy, and children laughed one after another. Liang Shuyan looked at all this with mixed feelings in her heart. She knew that the money would not solve their long-term problems, but it would at least allow them to live a good life temporarily.

Liang Shuyan didn't want to say anything at first, but the eldest prince had already stepped forward and she couldn't hide even if she wanted to. Then she said: "First prince, what are you doing? If this continues, will the villagers become lazy? All of them are doing nothing in their hearts, just waiting for the eldest prince's reward. What's important is that people in several other villages also say that the emperor is unfair. Isn't this intentionally damaging the emperor's reputation?" Liang Shuyan's words just came out. Luo, the eldest prince had already walked in front of her. The expression on his face was unpredictable, and his deep eyes shone sharply in the sunlight. Liang Shuyan instinctively wanted to take a step back, but felt that she had nowhere to escape at this moment.

"Liang Shuyan, what do you think?" The eldest prince spoke slowly, his voice low and powerful, as if echoing from the deep valley, "I did this after careful consideration. Are you going to let these villagers live their lives forever? A life of hunger and cold? I just want to inspire them and let them understand that as long as they work hard, it is possible to change their destiny."

He raised his hand slightly and pointed at the onlookers, "Look at the smiles on their faces. Isn't this the best proof?"

Liang Shuyan was a little helpless. Facing the eldest prince's mercy, what qualifications did he, a child, have to stop him?

Liang Shuyan was silent for a moment,

She looked up at the eldest prince, with complicated emotions flashing in her eyes. She knew that what the eldest prince said was not completely unreasonable. He had the whole village in his heart and these people living at the bottom of society. His goal is to enable everyone to live a better life, even if that change comes at a cost.

The screen zoomed in, and the villagers watching gradually appeared in the camera. Their faces were filled with bright smiles, lighting up the whole village like the sun. Their eyes sparkled with hope, like stars dotting the night sky.

They looked at the eldest prince, their eyes full of admiration and gratitude. They knew that the arrival of this prince would bring unprecedented changes to them. Their lives will no longer be simple and poor, but full of hope and opportunities.

The eldest prince stood there, looking at them with a smile, his heart filled with joy. He knows that the changes he brings may not be immediate, but these seeds have been deeply rooted in their hearts.

They will take root, thrive, and eventually become the pillars of their lives, leading them to a better future.

Liang Shuyan said in a low voice: "What does your highness mean by doing this? There are many people who are worse off than the people in our village. Why should all the money be given to the residents of Daling Village? If this spreads, wouldn't it mean that Does the Emperor favor our Daling Village?"

"How presumptuous! You, a little tea boy, speak arrogant words and threaten me with the emperor at every turn. Whatever you want, don't think that I have nothing to do with you."

The tea boy showed no fear, and smiled coldly: "The eldest prince has forgotten that the people in this world are named Su, and the emperor is also the emperor of the people. Although your Majesty is a prince, if you act wrongly and anger the people, you will The emperor cannot protect his son. The common woman is placing this sentence here today. If the eldest prince can treat the people well, the common woman should shut up. Otherwise, sooner or later, the eldest prince will understand that what the common woman said today is not true. .”

As soon as Cha Ruren said this, the atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly became solemn. The eldest prince turned pale with anger and was speechless for a moment.

The eldest prince clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth, obviously extremely angry. He stared at the tea boy, as if fire was about to burst out of his eyes. However, facing the cynicism of the tea boy, he could not find a word to refute.

Everyone was silent, they only dared to secretly exchange glances, no one dared to say anything. In the corner of the main hall, a pot of vigorous peonies looked particularly dazzling in the dull atmosphere. The petals trembled gently in the breeze, as if mocking the eldest prince's incompetence.

The eldest prince's chest was rising and falling. He tried hard to calm down his anger and glanced back and forth in the palace, seeming to be looking for something.
