Chapter 1634 - 1633: He is Rich, He is Guilty
Yang Wenxiao once told Qiao Xiaomai that for the elderly, if they are over seventy years old, they can receive some food from the government office every month, a few pounds of meat, and some cloth every year.
That is his wish, and it is also something an Emperor should achieve.
The barrier between the rich and the poor has always been thick. It is too difficult for the poor to break through this barrier and become rich. As the ruler of Daqi, he also cannot break this barrier, but he can strive to make the lives of the poor a bit better.
This was his desire since becoming Emperor. After working hard for half his life, it has still not been realized.
Over the past two years, Qiao Xiaomai and the Tong Family’s sudden rise have disrupted the peace in Daqi, especially Qiao Xiaomai, who has fiercely and aggressively smashed through the rich-poor barrier, climbing from abject poverty to her current status. Now she wants to do good deeds, and she even wants to leverage his reputation to do so.
He couldn’t refuse that.
Qiao Xiaomai is helping him fulfill this wish.
"Just say that I care about the common people and am offering Floral Dew for free to help impoverished folks improve their health. This way, even if those wealthy people are dissatisfied, they have no choice," Yang Wenxiao said.
This matter ought to be handled by him. If it were Qiao Xiaomai’s doing, those people who previously bought Floral Dew and those who are now fighting tooth and nail for it would resent her deeply.
