Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 416 The Little Old Man at the Hu County Farm
While Li Tai was suffering, after handing over the finishing work of Chang'an County to Ma Zhou, Li Chengqian drove to Hu County with his people.As for the method proposed by the emperor and his ministers to punish the tyrants and bullies, he is not flattering. As long as the benefits are obtained, human nature is still a fart. Who cares if the law is not discounted?
There is no way, his position is awkward, even if many things are not perfect, he can't be as unrestrained as before.Although the emperor has always favored and trusted him, the emperor's mind is always unpredictable, or how can it be said that the power of heaven is unpredictable!

Forget it, let's take care of those Qiu Bas first. When they had a banquet in Qujiang Pond last time, they seemed to be doing well, but you still have to go and see for yourself to be at ease. Don't appear in Chang'an County. thing.

When inspecting prefectures and counties, the main focus is on agriculture and mulberry. However, Hu County is different from other places. The land here is cultivated by soldiers from the sixth rate. The disabled veterans, women and children are only responsible for helping them with food and accommodation. The problem is that this farming method is similar to the collective farming of later generations.

Of course, there was another consideration. Li Chengqian wanted his soldiers to understand that if they sacrificed their lives for the country one day, their women, children and children would live on well, and the incense at home would not be cut off.

If you want people to follow you to death, you have the responsibility and obligation to solve their worries. He doesn't want to be like those veterans in the army who can't sleep all night.

Li Chengqian, who didn't say hello to anyone, went straight to the farm outside the city of Hu County. This is one of the main sources of Hu County's economy, raising a large number of pigs, sheep, chickens and other livestock.Not only is it one of the important bases for six rates of meat purchases, but also a part can be set aside to benefit the people in Chang'an City, which is the best of both worlds.

No, as soon as Li Chengqian and Qin Huaiyu stepped into the gate, they saw a rare scene. A young official in green robes was holding a small stick and pointing at two old men with white hair. The old guy also nodded and apologized, and promised that he would never do it again.

"It's not that I want to embarrass you, you also pity me as the master, okay? I also have to deal with the higher-ups. But you have done this less often. You cleaned the yard that day. I really don't know what you are doing. I have been in the army all my life, can't I understand such a trivial matter? I"

Just when the green-robed official was about to continue to reprimand these two old men, Li Chengqian walked over with his head raised, pointed at the green-robed official and said, "You're right, this man just needs to be repaired frequently. Small trees won’t go straight unless they’re pruned, people can’t even prune them, and they can’t even sweep the yard, so what else can they do.”

During the conversation, regardless of the officials who hurriedly saluted, Li Chengqian dusted off the dust on the steps, sat up directly, and waved to the two old men: "Lu Nai, Lu Fang, don't blame the boss for being harsh, you old things are too rude." It’s true, after losing the sixth place in two years, why do you want to lose the seventh place again?”

"Relying on your old qualifications, don't you take others seriously? What do you have to be arrogant? Isn't it just that you have served as a guerrilla general in the Tiance Mansion. Are you a big official? It's easy for a young man to be an official. Did it really ruin his official career?."

Heck, the farmer stared blankly at the honest old man scratching his head in front of Li Chengqian, sweat dripping down his cheeks from his forehead.These two unremarkable old fellows actually came from Tiance Mansion, they are not His Majesty's personal guards leading generals, they are from the fifth rank, they are nine ranks higher than myself, a small official from the seventh rank.You said that you don't take good care of your elderly at home, what are you doing in this ghost place, taking a walk?

"Let's go, the two of you will lead the way, and lead the lonely to see the pig house and so on..." Li Chengqian ignored the farmer's affairs, and just chatted and laughed with the two retired generals from Tiance Mansion. go.

Just when the agricultural chief was at a loss, Qin Huaiyu, who had been silent all this time, squatted down and said with a relaxed expression: "Don't be nervous, your patience is good, this official can still be kept, and don't worry too much about them." Many, they really can't do other jobs in this life except killing people.

Let’s just talk about those two old men, they were the elders of the six leaders. Their sons were killed in the battles of Eiyang Ridge and Yinshan Mountain, and only their grandson who was studying in Cangwen Academy was left at home. They couldn’t be idle. Don't be burdened by what to arrange in the future. "

Qin Huaiyu's words sounded like they were comforting him on the surface, but after being a petty official for so many years, he could still understand the meaning behind the words.These old guys are not easy to serve, and most people can't stand them without this. Since you are so patient, then you can bully them. This farmer can continue to do his job, and he can't do it.

As for how to arrange errands, then you can figure it out yourself, anyway, just don’t make them tired, otherwise, hehe, you know what the result will be. .
After reading the accounts of the pigs and sheep and the real situation of the site, Li Chengqian, Lu Nai, Lu Fang and others packed up the pasture and feed. After working hard, the two old men took out their private goods and asked the prince to His Highness went to the gazebo to have a nice drink.

After freshening up, Li Chengqian directly grabbed a handful of broad beans with his hands, and while eating, he asked, "You are a lot old, why don't you stay at home for the elderly? The salary and the subsidy given by the imperial court are enough for you. Live the rest of your life in comfort!"

"Your Highness, it's not a matter of money. I've lived in the military camp all my life and I'm used to it. You can see that you're exhausted after such a free time. Besides, it's so nice here, and there are so many veterans to chat about. , you also know that this person loves to chatter and be lively when he is old!"

After Lu Nai finished speaking, Lu Fang on the side filled Li Chengqian's glass and replied with a smile: "Your Highness, when I was young, I served as a soldier in the barracks. The officers and veterans treat us like a dog. As soldiers, You have to learn to obey, endure and injustice, so you will be an adult.

At that time, I didn't understand it, and I kept hating it in my heart. I always thought that if I became an official, I must get revenge, but later, when I led the army, I realized the joys and sorrows of it. "

"What should we do if we are not strict? Just look at these soldiers with missing arms and legs. Some of them are so young, and some are not yet married and have children. Sometimes, Chen and Lao Lu often said that if they could If it is more strict, will it reduce the number of deaths, or keep a few more people, hey.".
There are not many old guys like them alive, and even rarer are those who can survive the cruel battle after being divided into the six ranks at the beginning of Zhenguan, so for them, whether it is the emperor or Li Chengqian wanted to listen.

However, what they said today really gave Li Chengqian an inspiration. What's wrong with the disabled? Can the disabled only raise livestock and plant land?In later generations, there will be sports games for the disabled, and their running will not be slower than normal people.

running?No legs?Prosthetics?kindness?That's right, after slapping his thigh hard, Li Chengqian greeted Heng Lian who was next to him, and then ordered: "Go to Chuan Du Gou and ask him to bring some craftsmen who make exquisite items. Remember to be the best." of!"
