Chapter 368 Meeting Xiao He
Ying Zheng and Tang Yu left the pancake stall and continued their journey towards the impoverished urban area.
Behind them, the old man looked at Tang Yu with a complicated expression and a sigh.
After Tang Yu recognized him, he immediately felt that he had no regrets in this life.
I had actually witnessed the story of such an important person, and even met him again.
However, this time when they met...
The other person neither had the arrogant attitude he had when he met him before, nor did they seem to look down on him.
On the contrary, he was as polite and courteous as ever.
He already knew then that Tang Yu was still the same Tang Yu.
Just as he was already the Grand Preceptor of the Qin State, he was also Tang Yu, who was wholeheartedly devoted to the people of the world.
……
After chatting with the old man for a long time, Tang Yu finished his first mutton soup in the Great Qin Dynasty.
He eventually gave the recipe for the food combination to the old man and then left with Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng watched Tang Yu's thoughtful expression along the way, his eyes filled with emotion.
He never imagined that although Mr. Tang's life was not as miserable and tragic as his own in his youth, it was just as full of misfortunes.
The situation is fraught with danger and crisis!
If he fails to reach Xianyang, it means that his Qin Dynasty has lost its only lifeline!
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng felt a wave of fear.
"Mr. Tang, I truly never imagined that your life would be so full of twists and turns."
Seeing Ying Zheng's expression, Tang Yu naturally nodded and said.
"My life has indeed been full of twists and turns, but these twists and turns have also strengthened my current resolve and ideas."
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded sadly.
"Yes, if Mr. Tang hadn't experienced these things."
"Perhaps we would have the same thoughts and direction now."
"But it will never be as resolute as it is now; that's the future shaped by circumstances."
The two arrived at the impoverished region where Xiao He lived, and Tang Yu was immediately astonished upon seeing it.
He discovered that the environment in which these people used to live had changed.
The original dilapidated houses were now mostly thatched huts, and many were even just roadside structures.
Even worse, some people didn't even have thatched huts and just slept wherever they could find a spot.
Now, everyone has their own house.
The house seems to be of good quality, after all, it has a foundation and the main structure is made of wood.
Meanwhile, Xiao He was busy directing and shouting among the crowd.
"Come on, hurry up and go get his kitchen ready."
"And you, put the things here and move as fast as you can."
"Once his room is finished, we'll have him come and help out. He'll get paid for his work."
Looking at Xiao He who was giving the order, Tang Yu glanced at Ying Zheng.
"I never expected Xiao He to have such talent."
Ying Zheng nodded and said.
"I thought he still needed more experience, but I didn't expect him to take office so quickly."
"This is the third place he has provided assistance to."
"In addition to these forms of assistance, he also helped his superior."
"That is, our Qin State's 'Grand Preceptor' put forward many constructive suggestions."
"It seems that none of our Qin's Grand Preceptor is here, so Prime Minister Zhuge will have to take over."
Listening to Ying Zheng's sarcastic remarks, Tang Yu touched his head in embarrassment.
He never expected that Ying Zheng would call him out at this time.
Damn it! So what if he's not here?
Everyone has times when they slack off, right?
As for?
After all, he had gone to Handan earlier to handle some serious business.
It's normal that Xiao He couldn't find himself; what's wrong with that?!?
Xiao He has indeed aged considerably since then.
However, his temples and the area between his eyebrows showed signs of weariness in addition to the vicissitudes of time.
More than anything, I felt a sense of maturity and excitement; my dream had truly come true!
He never imagined that he would be able to hold such an official position so soon after arriving in the Qin state.
He knew it wasn't due to his own talent, but rather that Tang Yu had given him the opportunity.
Looking at these impoverished people, he thought of his own life in Pei County.
If it weren't for Tang Yu, he probably wouldn't be much better off than these people.
He worked even harder to help these people.
Meanwhile, the families of the soldiers who sacrificed their lives because of the Qin state, as well as their relatives and friends, were all properly resettled.
It can be said that not a single ounce of these 2.6 billion was embezzled or spent privately; it was all spent wisely.
There were many, many places in the Qin state that helped the common people like Xiao He.
The entire Qin state was thriving and improving, and the lives of the people were getting better and better.
The war machine began to slowly come to a stop, repairing the scars it had left behind.
The ordinary people working for Xiao He exchanged glances, a hint of excitement and happiness flashing in their eyes.
"Lord Xiao He, when will we be able to finish this?"
"After today, I'm going to dig sweet potatoes. I've planted a lot of sweet potatoes in my field."
The other people who shared the house with him also quickly inquired about it.
"Lord Xiao He, he's right! I also want to take action as soon as possible."
"Once the sweet potatoes and potatoes in my field are harvested, it won't be a problem for my family to eat for one or two years."
"This is all thanks to the Imperial Preceptor."
"Me too! Me too!"
Looking at the group of people eagerly asking him questions, Xiao He's eyes were filled with a great deal of emotion.
Yes, their changes are happening now, and the entire Qin state is improving.
It was all because of Tang Yu's arrival, he said to the group.
"In that case, why don't we hurry up and get to work?"
"Once the houses behind the village are built, everyone can get back to their own business."
"Besides, isn't there wages for building these houses?"
At this point, Xiao He couldn't help but say something.
"This was also stipulated by the Grand Preceptor. How come you only remember the Grand Preceptor's potatoes and forget about the Grand Preceptor's wages?"
Seeing Xiao He mingling with everyone, Tang Yu and Ying Zheng turned and left with some emotion.
Xiao He is doing well now, so there's no need to disturb him.
These grassroots jobs are the best training for Xiao He now.
This may be his real asset in the future, helping him rise to the top.
Sometimes you can only understand the big picture by observing the small details; if you stand too high, you won't be able to see the details.
Many poor people in the Qin state, including poor children and the elderly, received help.
At least they have a house to shelter them from the wind and snow in winter, at least they have warm food, and at least they have basic living security.
It's not like a little girl can't even afford a pair of shoes in winter.
It's unlikely that an elderly person would have to go three whole days without being able to eat a single meal.
The entire Qin state is getting better, Ying Zheng looked at Tang Yu and sighed.
This is the Qin Dynasty he envisioned.
