I, the heir of the great Eastern nation
Chapter 35 Your Highness, would you like to go see this together?
Because there is no such thing as classical Chinese in the common language of mainland China, Liu Zhao specifically used the most colloquial and easy-to-understand expression when he said this.
Although the rhyming beauty of "fish" and "fishing" in the original text is lost, the most essential meaning can still be fully expressed.
For a moment, everyone who heard Liu Zhao's words was stunned.
Then, Rick, a royal knight under the eldest prince, was the first to frown and speak after pondering for a moment.
"What are they talking about, sending fish and catching fish?"
However, just as he looked up, ready to see the joke playing on him...
But he saw that the eldest prince he served and the noble Holy Maiden of Light both had drastic changes in their expressions.
Especially Avril, the Holy Maiden of Light, subconsciously repeated Liu Zhao's words twice more, and at that moment her beautiful ruby eyes suddenly became even brighter.
"Instead of giving someone a fish that will only feed them for one meal, it's better to teach them how to fish so they can have food to eat for the rest of their lives."
Having grasped the meaning behind Liu Zhao's words, Avril looked at him with a gleam in her eyes once more.
"Your Highness Liu Zhao, what you said is truly profound."
"However, according to the law, all fish in the water, whether in the near sea or inland lakes and rivers, belong to the lord's personal property. So even if every commoner could learn to fish, they would still find it difficult to escape hunger and poverty."
Such a method is rather impractical to implement in reality.
Her expression shifted from excitement to disappointment, and her tone betrayed an undisguised frustration.
This change, however, was somewhat unexpected for Liu Zhao.
isn't it?
In such a distorted world, is there anyone besides me who actually wants everyone to have enough to eat?
Suddenly, Liu Zhao realized that the Holy Light Church and Avril might not be the villainous forces he had stereotyped as typical of traditional Western fantasy worlds.
We need to have a deeper understanding and awareness of the stance of this force and class!
With this in mind, Avril's importance in Liu Zhao's heart was elevated to another level.
At the same time, seeing Avril's disappointed expression, the eldest prince immediately offered words of comfort.
"Your Highness need not be too sad. Although the common people are still suffering from hunger and poverty, please rest assured that if I ascend the throne in the future, I will strive to become a wise king and eventually enable all the people of the world to live a happy life."
Upon hearing this, Avril managed a forced smile as a polite gesture.
"It is truly a blessing for the Kingdom of Os that His Highness Sol has such benevolent thoughts."
Prince Thor was overjoyed, then looked smugly at Liu Zhao beside him.
"So what about you, Your Highness Liu Zhao? What will you do? You won't just make up an impossible dream and become a dreamer who only talks the talk, will you?"
Avril also looked at Liu Zhao with great curiosity.
Liu Zhao simply smiled in response.
"Of course not. I'm not just talking; I've already started doing it."
"Just recently, I built a workshop to process hawthorn products in Hongguo Village, Heishishan, which provided new jobs for the villagers and taught them new skills so that each of them could earn enough to eat."
"Although my current abilities are limited, and I can only barely feed the people in one village, given time, when I have a larger territory, I will surely be able to enable more people to live such a life."
At this point, Liu Zhao looked at Avril, whose eyes were growing brighter and brighter, and smiled as he extended his right hand.
"Your Highness, would you be interested in coming with me to see what those villagers who can feed themselves are like?"
