Chapter 2861 Try to Live

She couldn't help but laugh.

Zhao Shu turned around and saw her, waving: "Come here."

Yun Dai lifted up her skirt and walked up to him on the ground.

"The prince's outfit is quite pastoral."

"When working in the fields, you can't wear official uniforms." Zhao Shu picked up a watermelon and split it into two halves with a little force. One piece was given to Yun Dai and the other to Baoxing. "Try how this watermelon tastes."

Baoxing hurriedly caught it: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

Yun Dai smiled and said: "Baoxing, you don't have to follow me, sit down and rest."

"Yes, I'm lazy today, too." Baoxing smiled, holding the watermelon and sitting down in the shade of a tree not far away.

Yun Dai looked at the watermelon: "How do you eat this? Just divide it into half."

Zhao Shu took it and separated it casually.

Yun Dai took a piece and took a bite. It was sweet and delicious.

"So sweet."

"This is natural." Zhao Shu said, "The land here is relatively sandy and not suitable for growing food, but the fruits that grow are very sweet. The children here are counting on the fruits in summer and autumn to earn money to buy food and clothing. .”

Yun Dai squatted next to him and said while eating: "I saw those children just now. Are they all orphans you picked up?"

"It's not like I picked them up. At first, I just wanted to take care of the children of a few of my dead subordinates and let them live together. Later, when there were more and more orphans, I simply changed this village to let them live together. live."

Yun Dai said: "Your Majesty is very kind-hearted."

"Seeing how pitiful they are, anyone with a little compassion will not ignore them."

"How many children are there in total here?"

"When you reach the age of sixteen, you can leave the village and seek life outside. There are about a hundred of them left here."

"So many?" Yun Dai was surprised, "The prince must spend a lot of money to raise these children every year."

"It doesn't cost much. They raise most of them themselves. Every fruit tree and every field you see here is planted by them. I will find someone to teach them."

"It's very hard. Some of the children are still very young."

"The older ones do more, and the younger ones do less. No one here asks them to do anything, it's all voluntary. What's more, they are all children from poor families. They have been sensible since they were young and can endure hardships. It is very easy to make money to support yourself. should."

After hearing this, Yun Dai looked around and saw several teenage children, carrying baskets on their backs, walking around in the melon field.

Although all of them were tanned and sweaty, their smiles were bright.

"Are you tired? Take a rest." Yun Dai said loudly.

"Not tired." The children smiled and waved.

Zhao Shu said: "I also set up a school and hired teachers. Those who are willing to learn can go. Whether it is farming or pursuing an official career, it is always your own choice."

Yun Dai smiled and said: "Your Majesty has thought carefully. These children are also very grateful and all of them are polite."

"We are all trying to live. If we lose our parents and relatives, we cannot die too."

Yun Dai lowered her head and nibbled on the watermelon without saying a word.

She knew that King Qin brought her here just to free her.

Let her know that there is too much suffering in this world.

There are many, many more miserable people than her.

Such a young child is struggling to survive. What right does she have as an adult in her thirties to be depressed? She is now the Queen Mother, and the new emperor is still young.

Surrounded by wolves.

If she can't cheer up, there will be more such poor children in Da Zhou and Bei Qi.

With greater ability comes greater responsibility.

She was not qualified to wallow in sorrow.
