Dragon's Origin

"I want to tell her!" The Emperor answered Wang Sheng with great certainty, "I dream of it! But we don't know how to explain the reason for abandoning a child when both parents are alive. Even if the situation was very difficult at the time, doing so would be too hurtful to Mei'er."

Wang Sheng looked at the Emperor. The Emperor was now in a rare moment of genuine emotion. At this moment, he was not the Emperor, but just a father.

As parents, it is truly touching when they wholeheartedly consider their children. Even the esteemed Empress is no exception.

"I'll find an opportunity to tell her!" Wang Sheng pondered for a moment and said, "However, don't expect Mei'er to immediately acknowledge you in the short term."

"That's all we can do." The Emperor was a little dejected. There was no way to force his daughter. He already felt guilty towards her. Now, he just wanted to make Mei'er happy. If she wasn't willing, no one would force her.

"Speaking of which, you didn't just invite me here for this, did you?" Wang Sheng asked again, "Don't tell me you just wanted to talk about the Empress's origins."

"Of course not." Since Wang Sheng asked about serious matters, the Emperor stopped dwelling on the previous topic. As long as he knew Wang Sheng would not let Mei'er down, that was enough. He had invited Wang Sheng over to discuss other important matters.

"You should know about the recent situation in the capital, right?" After drinking a cup of wine with Wang Sheng, the Emperor's emotions completely stabilized, and he returned to his high and mighty demeanor.

"Not very clearly. I just know there are more people, and many important figures have arrived." Wang Sheng said honestly, "Actually, this is a good thing. It shows that all parties genuinely consider the capital a place where no force will be used."

"I know this is a good thing." The Emperor nodded, "But now land prices are getting more and more expensive, and there are more and more people. How should this be resolved?"

The sizes of the imperial city, inner city, and outer city of the capital are all fixed. Originally, it was fine, not too crowded. Mei'er's business could even buy an entire ward. You should know that a ward is equivalent to a large block community, capable of housing at least several thousand people.

But after these important figures arrived, they inevitably had to put on airs. Whether they were young masters and young ladies, or real elders and important ministers, how could they casually find a residential house to live in? Official residences were definitely not easy to buy and sell. Immediately, some people thought of learning from Mei'er and Wang Sheng, buying entire wards to build their own mansions.

As more and more people did this, the inner city of the capital was obviously not enough. These people generally acted according to the rules, paying twice the market price, so the Emperor couldn't say anything. But the problem was, while they were happy to buy houses and land, the original residents of the capital who had their houses and land bought were in trouble.

They certainly wouldn't dare to refuse. These guys all came with expert guards, who could make these ordinary people of the capital disappear silently in minutes, without even a victim to complain. But if they sold their houses and land, how would they live? This became a difficult problem directly placed before the Emperor and his officials.

"You have to ask me about this?" Wang Sheng widened his eyes, "Are the ministers you're raising eating for free? If the inner city is not enough, move to the outer city! If you have money and power, then buy a new place in the inner city yourself. If you don't have money or power, then honestly move to the outer city. Don't tell me you still want to support your people! Are you the Emperor because of their votes? Or you can open up the imperial city and let these people live in the imperial city?"

Just kidding, a feudal emperor, a not very important emperor, still wants to play the loving-the-people-like-his-own-children game? It's okay to play, but don't stick your neck out and play with the important figures of the major vassal states!

Wang Sheng came to this Yuanhun world, not to liberate all mankind. The Emperor actually asked such a naive and simple question, which made Wang Sheng suspect whether the Emperor's so-called Shoujing mental method had reached the second level and had improved his intelligence twice. Could it be that the Emperor was a fool since childhood and only improved to this level now?

"I'm not talking about those ordinary people." The Emperor rarely blushed. If he really cared about these ordinary people, he would probably have been driven off the throne by some people in the royal family long ago. He didn't understand what Wang Sheng meant by votes, but he explained, "I'm saying that there are so many important figures and experts from vassal states with ill intentions next to the imperial city. Wouldn't I not be able to sleep well in the palace?"

"Oh, I understand!" Wang Sheng nodded, that's right, he was concerned about his own safety, normal: "You can't allow others to snore beside your bed, is that the idea?"

"Yes!" The Emperor had not been able to think of an appropriate adjective. Wang Sheng's sentence simply spoke to his heart. You can't allow others to snore beside your bed. The residences of important court officials and royal relatives next to the palace are fine, but a large group of high-level officials from vassal states are also here grabbing territory to live in. What is this?

"This is a good thing!" Wang Sheng's words once again made the Emperor want to go crazy. A bunch of experts out of his control are living in groups outside the imperial city, and this has become a good thing?

"Don't you think about what they are after when they rush to come here and spend a lot of money to buy houses and land?" Wang Sheng ignored the Emperor's expression and asked directly.

"They want the capital to be safe!" Seeing that the Emperor's expression was not right, Steward Zhou rushed to answer Wang Sheng's question on behalf of the Emperor, "It can also be regarded as finding a way out for themselves."

The Emperor also agreed with this statement. If those people were not for insurance, how could they send their families to the capital at this time of war?

Speaking of which, in Wang Sheng's cognition, the practices of these people from the major vassal states were also done by another group of people on Earth. The warlords in the Republic of China, everyone pulled guns to grab territory, whoever had the bigger fist and more guns was more powerful. What happened to the losers? They ran to the safe concessions in Shanghai or Tianjin to be landlords. Because the warlords did not dare to easily cause trouble in the concessions. Isn't the current capital the so-called safe "concession"?

"You also know that they are leaving a way out for themselves." Wang Sheng spread his hands: "If it were you, would you go out of your way to provoke the Emperor, stir up panic in the capital, and make everyone feel like they are seeing ghosts and hearing the wind? Is it true that as long as the Emperor can't sleep well, these guys who are leaving a way out can sleep peacefully?"

Whether it was the Emperor, the three great offerings, or the court officials trusted by the Emperor, the starting point for thinking about problems was from the Emperor's safety, so everyone felt that there was danger and insecurity. But no one considered it from the perspective of those guys who came to the capital. Wang Sheng was the first and only one to propose it.

As soon as these words came out, the Emperor suddenly froze. It was not shock, nor was it incomprehensible, but he understood it too clearly, so much so that he felt that he had asked another stupid question in front of Wang Sheng, and once again showed the fact that there were still misunderstandings in the thinking of him and his court officials.
