Quick wear: She has turned over the big guys from all walks of life

Chapter 1328 Famine and Natural Disaster 487

"Just go to work and live your life well. I and Miss Cheng will do our best to find a peaceful and quiet life for everyone."

When Zhou Ting said this, the two disabled soldiers were moved and their eyes filled with tears.

"My Lord, you and the boss have done a lot for me and others. I am safe and secure now, all thanks to you two." He knelt down again, without giving Zhou Ting and Cheng Mingyi a chance to stop him, and kowtowed to them three times, "I, on behalf of all those who are living in hardship like me, kowtow to you, my Lord and the boss."

Zhou Ting and Ming Yi were caught off guard and received three slaps on the head.

"There's no need to do this. Why must it come to this? Get up, get up, everyone get up." Zhou Ting stretched out his hand to help, and Yu Shiwei and others stepped forward to help the man up.

Mingyi stepped aside and gave way.

"Get up quickly. I will remember all your contributions to the country. In the future, the workshop run by Miss Cheng will attract more people like you who have fought for the country and the people. Miss Cheng and I only hope that you can all live well, have a decent family after leaving the battlefield, marry and have children, and live a peaceful and happy life."

"We understand the intentions of the Crown Prince and the Boss, and we will not let you down."

Zhou Tingjun smiled and said, "You guys continue to lead the way. This is my first time in the glass workshop and I am not familiar with the roads here."

"Yes, this way, my lord."

The two men led them into the accommodation area, Zhou Ting and Ming Yi walked in front, with guards surrounding them.

"The boss is here!"

"It's the boss."

"Come quickly, the boss is here."

"Happy New Year, Boss."

"Isn't that Prince Zhou?"

"It seems so. I've seen him before." The people who recognized Zhou Ting were all ordinary people in Fucheng City. The retired soldiers did not recognize him.

After hearing what these people said, the retired soldiers stretched their heads to look, "Is the one wearing a black cloak the Crown Prince of Zhou?"

"Yes, he is. Thanks to the prince and Miss Cheng, we had such a good New Year. A few months ago, we dared not even think that we could have enough food and eat as much as we wanted. Moreover, we had meat and vegetables. Meat and vegetables can't be bought outside." In the winter, who would sell meat? Forget about vegetables. In the winter of Fucheng, the people in their city can only grow a little at home to taste the freshness; there is no way to realize the freedom of vegetables.

After getting the confirmation, the retired soldiers poured out from the accommodation area, accompanied by their families.

When Zhou Ting and Cheng Mingyi were twenty steps away, they stopped, and the sound of "thumps" continued to be heard, and they knelt firmly.

"I pay my respects to the prince and greet the master."

"I pay my respects to the prince and greet the master."

With the sincere greetings coming one after another, Zhou Ting felt the strong support of the people; this moment was even more profound than the feeling at the gate.

"Everyone, please stand up." "Thank you, my lord."

Everyone stood up and looked at Zhou Ting awkwardly but gratefully.

He didn't notice it before he stood up, but after the adult men stood up, he truly witnessed the extent of their injuries; even so, those among them who were missing legs came over with crutches, and those who were missing other parts of their bodies helped each other, and did not leave those with limited mobility behind, or squeeze others aside just to show off their faces.

They all wanted to get close to him, but they also stuck to their conscience.

Zhou Ting was touched by them and his eyes were slightly warm; what he saw were their bodies that were more or less disabled, some had lost ears, some had lost arms, some had lost legs, and some had both legs disabled and could not stand up.

When these people gathered together, he seemed to see what Mingyi said; he saw clearly the soldiers shedding blood and tears, and he even had an urge to cry.

All the disabled people present were retired from the battlefield; after retirement, they had difficulty in moving and had a hard time making a living, but for so many years, they had never come to the palace and lived in silence and hardship.

After meeting each other, their hearts became closer.

Zhou Ting won the hearts of the people and the retired soldiers. The soldiers saw the Prince of Zhou with their own eyes and knew that he had been thinking about them and trying every way to consider their livelihood and their future. They cried continuously for a while.

When leaving, everyone personally saw Zhou Ting and Ming Yi off to the carriage, watched their carriage go away, and did not leave for a long time.

Inside the carriage, Zhou Ting tried hard not to let the tears fall, but they still fell; the back of her hand placed on her knees was covered and felt warm. Zhou Ting glanced at the white tenderness on the back of her hand, held it with her backhand, and choked with sobs.

"Yiyi, I never thought that one day, I would feel heartbroken when I saw them injured. In the past, when I thought about those soldiers who had a hard time surviving, I just felt sorry for them. But after seeing them today, I realized that I would feel sorry for them too."

I feel sorry for their perseverance. No matter how hard or difficult the life was, they never thought of coming to the palace to seek help.

If the Zhou Palace knew what kind of life they were living, they would not have just ignored it; they all understood this, but no one came. For all these years, no one had ever walked to the gate of the palace.

Mingyi understood this feeling very well. She had seen photos of veterans who were seriously injured and discharged on the Internet. It was really difficult! According to reports, no matter how hard and difficult their lives were, they did not receive the U retirement benefits and pensions that should have been allocated to them. They lived in poverty but safely in the countryside by relying on a little handicraft.

It was hard to imagine how they had survived all these years. They still held on to the mentality of saving every penny for the country. That kind of patriotism was something she could not understand for a long time.

"We have already started making plans for them. It will gradually spread throughout the northwest. When you conquer the Central Plains, it will also be popularized in the Central Plains, and heroes will no longer be forced to shed blood and tears. We cannot change what happened in the past. What we can do is look to the future and prevent what happened in the past from happening again in the future."

“I know.” Zhou Ting swallowed his tears, still heartbroken as he recalled the inconvenience they had in walking. “It will be fine after a while. This is the first time I’ve seen them face to face. I wonder how many people in the entire northwest are living in such a precarious situation.”

Ming Yi pursed her lips and consoled him, "Actually, Steward Luo has done a great job. Over the years, he has helped any retired soldiers in need that he has seen. Although his ability is limited, he has taken action to let those soldiers understand that the Zhou Palace is not ignoring them, but that it is temporarily incapable of doing so. Now, we are developing step by step, and we will make proper arrangements for them when we have the ability."

"Ah."

No one spoke in the carriage. Mingyi understood how uncomfortable he was feeling at the moment; if not all of these people were from the Northwest Army, most of them definitely were.

The people coming out of the Northwest Army were all soldiers of Prince Zhou's Palace. They lived an extremely hard life, but Prince Zhou's Palace had no time to take care of them.

This is what makes Zhou Ting uncomfortable.
