God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 251
After hearing this, Li Er couldn't help asking: "Since ancient times, the wish of the emperors of all dynasties has been to make the people rich. The people's prosperity is nothing more than satisfying the desires of the stomach and the body. So why not make the people rich? What is salted fish but not salted fish? What is the dream?"

Du He turned the chopsticks upside down, dipped them in some water, and tapped a little on the table.

Then pointing to the drop of water, he said, "Your Majesty, the needs and knowledge of the common people are limited to this at the beginning. He can see and touch very limitedly. Maybe it's just enough to eat and wear warm clothes, and there is an earthen house that can shelter from the wind and rain ,but……"

wow.

Du He picked up his chopsticks and dipped them in water to make a fist-sized fist, and continued: "When he has so many things, what he can touch will be a vast world, and his way of thinking will also undergo a huge change. and needs are no longer what they used to be... People can eat enough and wear warm clothes. This should only be the first step, which is a basic well-off life, and the second step is to be well-off in an all-round way."

Li Er nodded in agreement: "I've heard about Xiaokang, but what about this all-round well-off?"

Du He said with a smile: "A well-off life was not invented by the ministers. It originated from the "Book of Rites". There is a saying in the "Li Yun Chapter": Now that the Dao is hidden, the world is home. Self. In the world of adults, we think of propriety, and city walls and ditches and ponds think of it as solid. Ritual and righteousness are used to discipline, to uphold rulers and ministers, to treat fathers and sons, to be harmonious with brothers, to reconcile husband and wife, to establish institutions, and to establish fields... This is called Xiaokang."

Du He recited this article in one breath, and immediately stunned Li Er.

Li Eryi patted the table and shouted: "Okay, Du He, Du He, you are said to be the number one talented scholar in the Tang Dynasty, and you really deserve your reputation, hahaha... I am very relieved to say that you are well-off. If you only feed and clothe the people, how is it different from animals? The Minister of Chinese and Military Affairs in the court knows how to be enterprising, and does his best for the country and the Tang Dynasty, and he never thinks about idleness all day long. Well-off in an all-round way, it seems that there are still many things I need to do in this life, the road is long and difficult, and there is a long way to go."

Du He nodded: "Nowadays, the Tang Dynasty is only in a stable and prosperous age. There is still a long way to go before the basic well-off. The comprehensive well-off is still far away. After reaching the comprehensive well-off, the country will be rich and the people will be strong. .”

People in later generations are full of longing for the prosperity of Zhenguan, but after the arrival of Du He, they can really feel that this era is only better than other civilizations of the same era, and the lives of the people may not be much easier. The people are still living very poorly.

After Du He finished speaking, he looked up and saw Li Er staring at him without blinking, with a smile on his lips.

Du He hastily put down his chopsticks and said, "Your Majesty, don't you, you want to trick me again?"

Li Er nodded without hesitation: "You are the county uncle of Huyi, my good son-in-law, why can't you work for me? Du He, Du He, sometimes, I really can't see through you. I heard that your furniture The factory and Datang Study can now earn 10,000+ money a day, so what do you use for so much money?"

Du He laughed and said: "Your Majesty, you don't understand the joy of making money... As an emperor, is it the king's land in the whole world, or the king's ministers on the shore of the land? The whole world belongs to you, of course you don't want to." I'm short of money, but I'm different. I'm just a courtier. I want to earn money to support my family. Besides, everyone only sees the furniture factory making money every day, but they don't expect that the expenses of the furniture factory are also extremely huge. Now the study and The furniture factory has a total of 200 workers, and the daily wages alone amount to more than 3000 yuan. There is also food, and the food standard for each person in the canteen of the furniture factory is 2 yuan per day..."

Du He raised his finger and listed a bunch of places that needed money, which stunned the majestic emperor Li Er.

Li Er asked puzzledly: "I heard Lang Ji mention that the food in the canteen of your furniture factory is better than that of the Forbidden Army. They are all craftsmen doing brute force. Why do they have such good food?"

Du He shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, the furniture factory is not full of brute force men, all of them are skilled craftsmen that I have carefully selected, among other things, if those people are put outside, they will definitely be scrambled by various governments. A few days ago, Master Changsun sent someone to the furniture factory to poach my craftsman, and offered 20 Wen per day."

"How many people have been poached?" Li Er asked curiously.

"Not one was dug up."

"Why?"

Du He smiled slightly and explained: "Because, the craftsmen know that for the time being, no matter whether they go to Sikong Mansion or wherever they go, they won't get the treatment of a furniture factory. It's hard to say whether they can get the 20 Wen from Sikong Mansion, but The workers in the furniture factory have signed contracts with me in black and white. Besides, I have the best production line in the world, and the most advanced design in the world... The artisans follow me, and it is not a problem to eat well. If you leave, you will never return to the furniture factory!"

Li Er nodded in agreement, thinking in shock, is this really a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy?Why do I feel like a wily old fox?

The two monarchs and ministers discussed in the pavilion.

As for looking at the moon, look at a hammer moon.

Afterwards, the two went to the imperial study.

Zhao Yang and the others who were guarding outside immediately heard intermittent quarrels.

An hour later.

In the imperial study room, Li Er was sitting on the rotating wooden chair, and Du He was leaning on the opposite chair.

The two stared at each other with wide eyes.

After a while, Li Erxian was still defeated.

He was already old, and he was still the majestic emperor of the Tang Dynasty. He was arguing with a young man with red faces, and it was a bit embarrassing to say it.

Just now, the subject of the quarrel between the two was that Li Er wanted Du He to enter the court as an official, and take charge of the large and small affairs of this time.

However, Du He didn't agree to anything, and no one could convince anyone.

Li Er asked across the table, "Do you have any cigarettes?"

Du He waved his hand: "No, it's already finished."

"I can promise you that you will not be allowed to enter the court as an official, but you came up with this method of labor-for-relief, and you must be responsible. Looking at the civil and military affairs of the court, there is no one more suitable than you. How to resettle thousands of disaster victims is not a trivial matter." Li Er said earnestly.

Du He nodded: "Okay, I agree. However, I have three conditions."

"Say!"

"I want money, a lot of money, of course I don't want it for myself. If I want to build a huge project to accommodate tens of thousands of victims, the money needed is by no means a small amount. It is possible that the treasury of the Tang Dynasty will be exhausted." Du He Said solemnly.

Li Er nodded: "Of course I know, your Shangshu has already written it clearly. I can give you as much money as you need, but it must be used for the right way. Moreover, my treasury can't afford consumption." Ah, everything, simplicity."

Du He continued: "I want people, Your Majesty, please allow me to mobilize a large number of people, including officials from the DPRK and China. In addition, I also need an imperial army, 50 people are enough. It is best to have an imperial army to remove obstacles for me. .”

Li Er didn't hesitate: "Okay, I will give you a Shangfang sword, so you can do things cheaply. I will also send Lang Ji to assist you and send you a 50-man imperial army to obey your orders."

Du He stretched out his third finger: "The third condition, I want His Majesty's trust."

"Oh?"

Li Er was taken aback, and became curious for a moment.

Du He said: "During the Warring States period, Li Mu was the general of the Zhao State, stationed at the border, and the rent and tax in the army market were used to reward the soldiers without being disturbed by the King of Zhao. Therefore, the Zhao State's army was invincible and invincible. The country became a tyrant. But later, Zhao Wang did not trust his generals, but listened to the villain's slander, and killed Li Mu. The situation of the Zhao country was deteriorating day by day, and finally the country fell."

After a pause, Du He continued: "The policy of using work for relief is of great importance. At that time, all kinds of rumors and gossips will inevitably reach His Majesty's ears. If His Majesty does not trust me, there is no need for me to govern now." Take work for relief affairs."

Hearing this, Li Er pointed at Du He, and suddenly burst out laughing: "Hahaha... Du He, Du He, let me tell you what's good about you, okay, I promise you, no matter what happens in the future, or how outsiders talk about it, I I will give you full confidence.”

"it is good!"

The two smiled at each other.

……

On the morning of this day.

When the ministers arrived, what surprised everyone was that Du He, who was the county uncle of Huyi and had no official position, stood side by side with Cheng Yaojin and others.

I saw Zhao Yang took out the edict, which read: "The heavenly family is ruthless, the drought occurred, and a large number of people were displaced. They could not be resettled in Chang'an. Fortunately, the method of Boduhe in Huyi County can solve a large number of victims. The matter of resettlement can also take this opportunity to contribute to the Tang Dynasty. Today, His Majesty discussed with the three provinces of Zhongshu, Menxia, ​​and Shangshu, and decided to appoint Boduhe of Huyi County as the Shaoqing of the Linfu Supervisor to take charge of the workers. All ministries and officials in the court must try their best to cooperate with Huyi County Boss in order to help with matters big or small, otherwise, I will never forgive you lightly..."

Everyone couldn't react.

Du He changed suddenly and became the Shaoqing of Linfu Supervisor?

Even if the Linfu prison will be eliminated automatically in the future, it is still an official of the court.

Moreover, this work-for-relief matter is very important and involves a lot. It is said that Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others should be in charge, but His Majesty actually asked Du He to take charge in person?

Li Er only discussed this matter with Fang Xuanling and a few other people, and the others had no way of knowing the news.

In the imperial study that day, Changsun Wuji was firmly against it, but Du He only said: "Master Changsun, please be safe and don't be impatient. After the project starts, all materials will be given priority to Changsun's family!" Changsun Wuji knew the matter Unable to stop it, he agreed.

Li Er heard the whispered discussion below, and said: "Come here, I will give Du He a Shangfang sword. Seeing Shangfang's sword as if I am here in person, everyone, etc., must cooperate closely with Du He to solve the resettlement of the victims as soon as possible. If anyone disobeys the will, Du He has the right to kill first and then play."

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked.

Du He's power has come to this extent?

Everyone looked at Wei Zheng.

But Wei Zheng stroked his beard and stood aside, as if he had nothing to do with him.

During this period of time, Wei Zheng was still busy sorting out the various shortcomings of the Tang Dynasty's supervision system and making improvements, so he didn't have time to hate Du He.

So much so that the work-for-relief matter needed to be supervised, so he gave up to his censor, Ma Zhou, and told Ma Zhou to listen to Du He in all matters, and not to be against Du He, etc.

So far, no one has any objections.

……

The next morning.

In Chang'an City, where it has just rained, the air is filled with the fragrance of soil.

In the original Cuiwei Building, a group of people suddenly appeared. These people were dressed in uniform and they were all young and strong men.

Everyone turned around one after another, took shovels, shovels and other tools from the carriage, walked into the ruined Cuiwei Building, and began to work.

In a short time, all the garbage was cleaned up, and the flat land was revealed.

The men took all kinds of materials from the carriage and began to build it.

After half a day's work, a camp with a unique shape was built.

At a glance, the outside of the camp is all made of cloth, almost as tall as the original Cuiwei Tower.

Looking at the place where the door was entered, there were two guards guarding it.

There is a banner hanging above it, which reads: Relieve the headquarters with work.

The headquarters was established, but manpower was scarce.

Du He simply moved to the headquarters and called Zhang Du and Yang Hao to help.

Everything seems to start from scratch.

Although Li Er promised Du He that he could draw manpower from civil and military officials at any time, Du He was unwilling to use others. He planned to take this opportunity to train another group of people.

Only then did Du He feel that there was a shortage of manpower around him.

In the afternoon, the temporary canteen behind the headquarters was also set up. The chef was transferred from the canteen of the furniture factory, and the style was similar to that of the furniture factory.

At the entrance of the cafeteria, the fifty forbidden troops led by Li Junxian stood neatly, fully armed, and there was a chilling atmosphere.

This is the imperial army dispatched by Li Er. It is to help Du He's love for various obstacles in the process of relief with work, and he personally transfers Li Junxian, the Zhonglang who guards the imperial city, to Du He.

Li Junxian said politely: "Uncle Huyi County, these are the fifty Imperial Guards led by me, all of them are masters one by one, if you need anything in the future, just order it."

Du He looked at those guys whose eyes were higher than the top, and said with a smile: "What can you order? Your Majesty called the imperial army here because he was worried that someone would make trouble. Now that the imperial army is present, I see who has the courage to dare Come to the headquarters to make trouble...Brothers, Du He would like to thank everyone here, from today onwards, the cafeteria will be open to everyone for free, chicken, duck, fish, everything, we guarantee everyone's satisfaction."

When the imperial guards heard this, a smile appeared on their faces.

One by one, they couldn't wait to rush into the cafeteria and began to feast on it.

Li Junxian followed up dumbfounded.

At the door, Du He had his hands behind his back, looking at each of the imperial guards.

Zhang Jianqiu silently appeared behind him.

Du He didn't look back, and asked in a deep voice: "Did you find out?"

Zhang Jian said in a low voice: "Master, I found out that this group of imperial guards are all from Zuo Yulin Guard, and it is the same group that guarded the gate of the palace when you and Dorazan competed that day."

Du He suddenly smiled: "Okay, interesting...very interesting, finally someone can't sit still."

As he spoke, Du He's face darkened, and murderous intent suddenly appeared in his eyes.

……
