Destiny Only Han

Chapter 899 Liu Ying: Veterans don't die, they just wither!
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

With tears in his eyes, Liu Le Doudou squatted on the ground and chatted with seven or eight veterans.

Zhang Buyi stood on the other side, expressionless, just muttering words such as 'prodigal girls' to himself.

After all, he already knew that Liu Le was planning to build a medical laboratory in the open space next to the Invalids Academy, and would donate 100 million to the medical laboratory, the Invalids Academy, and the [-] Charity Hospitals around Chang'an City every month. money!
You know, nowadays the Han Dynasty counts money for a bucket of rice. If the 100 million yuan is converted into the banknotes of later generations, the purchasing power should be nearly [-] million!

This is really a big deal!
Although in Liu Ying's view, the monthly investment of millions of dollars is just a drop in the bucket, after all, no matter what kind of laboratory it is, it is synonymous with burning money...

But today's Han Dynasty has been wronged a lot because Liu Ying doesn't intend to catch Liu Le, a sheep, and squeeze it hard.

This, but his biological sister, the only biological sister!

Liu Ying smiled silently, leaned close to Zhang Buyi and kicked his calf: "I forgot to ask, is my teacher better?"

He especially emphasized the tone when he said the word 'sick'.

After all, Zhang Liang was sick before, and he didn't even attend the Great Court Meeting...

Zhang Buyi is completely used to it: "I haven't recovered yet, my appetite has not recovered, and I can't make ten catties of meat for a bucket..."

I bother!When he was young, he couldn't eat that much... Liu Ying was full of contempt.

Zhang Buyi turned his head to the side, and was suddenly shocked: "There will be tens of thousands of people, right?"

Liu Ying shook her head: "There are not so many people. There were more than 9000 people before winter, but now there are less than [-] people..."

Zhang Buyi frowned and asked, "Why?"

He suddenly realized.

For the elderly, the extreme heat and cold are two hurdles. If you step past, your life will stay at this moment forever.

Liu Ying sighed softly: "That's why I built this Les Invalides, to preserve the last bit of decency for these veterans who once fought for the country... My sister donated generously for this reason."

Zhang Buyi looked sideways: "Really?"

Liu Ying asked: "Do you think anyone can live in this Invalides?"

Zhang Buyi looked around for a week: "Isn't it enough to just give money? Look at each of these, which one has a title on his head under the title of doctor?"

Liu Ying was full of contempt: "Do you think I'm short of this money?"

Hearing that Liu Ying used the title 'Zhen', Zhang Buyi put away the teasing expression on his face, shook his head, and asked, "Then, what is your Majesty's intention?"

Liu Ying sighed: "These veterans are the kind of childless people who are called 'old extinct households' by the people..."

Zhang Buyi frowned and asked: "Isn't it? I believe those who are disabled and inhumane, but so many people... can't it?"

"There are unpredictable things in the sky, and people have good fortune and misfortune..." Liu Ying sighed a little: "No one knows which will come first, tomorrow or death. The white-haired person sending the black-haired person is destined to happen from time to time..."

Zhang Buyi thought for a while, then sighed and said: "That's the reason. Those uncles of ours, who have the best medical conditions for big men today, have [-] extinct families, let alone those who live in the countryside..."

He wanted to say that those veterans were "old and rich", but he didn't say it in the end.

After all, it is already miserable for his family to be extinct, and they are all heroes of the big man, so he naturally has to show some respect.

Even if it's just a verbal tribute.

Liu Ying nodded: "But if it is just extinct, it will not give me the idea of ​​​​building the Invalids. After all, as you said, each of them has no less than the title of 'doctor', hundreds of acres of fertile land at home, and servants. Three or five people, even if the land is fully rented, it is enough to enjoy the old age..."

Zhang Buyi interrupted Liu Ying and said, "That's right, why didn't I think of this?"

He immediately looked around, and saw that although it was winter here, there were evergreen trees everywhere. More importantly, there was water, electricity, heating, and a large dining hall that was steaming, so he nodded and said: "But Living here is indeed much more comfortable than living in the country... Big pot dishes, how delicious it is!"

Liu Ying shook her head:

"It's a pity that the pastoral life only exists in your imagination."

"In the place where they live, even if a person has a high rank, once he is old and weak, and he has no children and grandchildren to support him, let alone a member of the same family, even a servant at home will bully him!"

Zhang Buyi frowned.

Liu Ying took a half step forward and said: "Don't forget, the empire has a decree. If the master of the Lichen dies without an heir, then the Lichen will be free and inherit part of the master's property!"

"As for Yoshiko..."

"He is an old man, how can he guarantee that his adopted son will treat him like his biological father?"

"In this way, the life of this group of veterans who have noble titles but have no family has become more and more miserable in their hometown, and this kind of suffering will continue to deepen as they get older!"

After Liu Ying finished speaking, she remained silent.

Behind him, a voice he was very familiar with suddenly sounded.

"So, you took over their land property and house, and set up this Les Invalides?"

Liu Ying turned her head and saw Liu Bang and Lu Wan who came hand in hand, and Zhang Liang who was still handsome and handsome despite his age.

"Teacher, what wind brought you here? How can you, a patient, walk around in this snowy day?" Liu Ying was full of surprise, but her eyes were filled with contempt.

Embarrassment flashed across Zhang Liang's face.

Liu Bang took a half-step forward and kicked Liu Ying falsely: "Little bastard has sharp teeth, sharp mouth, and strange yin and yang. I don't know who I learned from?"

Zhang Liang was too lazy to speak for a while.

Lu Wan was stunned for a moment, her expression became very inexplicable, and she silently remembered a sentence in her heart.

People's eyes grow in the front, and they are used to see the shortcomings of others...

After all, no one in this world knows. When it comes to the ability of yin and yang to piss off others, who dares to say that Liu Bang is the second!

Why did Wei Bao rebel during the Chu-Han War?
Sima Qian ruthlessly recorded: Wei Bao said that Li Sheng said that life is like a white horse passing through a gaping ear.Now the King of Han is arrogant and insulting, cursing the princes and ministers is like scolding slaves, there must be no courtesy, I can't bear to see him again...

Of course, the more important reason is that he went home to give birth to the son of the emperor...

So Liu Bang knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, and asked with an embarrassed smile: "I still can't figure it out, how did you get them to willingly hand over their land and houses, return their farm tools, and move from their hometown to this Invalids?"

Liu Ying puffed up her chest: "Of course it's a heart-to-heart exchange!"

Lu Wan suddenly looked contemptuous.

After all, as the father who has been raped, he has never been afraid to speculate on Liu Ying with the worst malice...

Liu Ying immediately called out her grievances:
"If the captain doesn't believe it, you can go and ask yourself!"

"Besides, I got part of the inspiration for setting up the Invalids Academy from Lu Yu!"

Lu Wan froze for a moment, then puffed out her chest and stood up proudly.

Liu Bang was full of curiosity.

After all, he watched Lu Yu grow up, and he knows what skills he has. For now, Lu Yu's main contribution is to give birth to a son, who connects the imperial power and the group of heroes, and continues to serve as a vase... …

So, governing?

This brat must be talking nonsense again!
Liu Ying said proudly: "I forced Lu Yu to study that day, and she won the "Book of Rites·Royal System" by drawing the roulette. Therefore, she gave me all the inspiration in the unwilling reading!"

Liu Bang suddenly realized.

Although he didn't read much in the past, he couldn't put down the books for a long time after he became emperor.

Therefore, he also read the so-called "Book of Rites · Kingship".

In order to align teeth and order human relations, the Zhou Dynasty had detailed regulations on how to care for and respect the elderly.

For example, it is stipulated that "for those who are eighty, one son will not be in politics; for those who are ninety, their family will not be in politics;

Although for ordinary people, the probability that their parents and elders will not live to be 80 years old, exempting them from taxes and corvee for three years during the mourning period for their parents can be regarded as a benevolent policy.

Not only that, but in the Western Zhou Dynasty, drinking ceremonies at the 'township' level were regularly held every year.

The township is the grass-roots organizational unit in the suburbs of the capital of Zhou Tianzi and the princes, with [-] households as one township, six townships for the emperor, and three townships for the princes.

The drinking ceremony is similar to the Banquet of Thousands of Old Men, which is to invite the emperor of Zhou and the princes to invite the old people under their jurisdiction to come and have a big meal...

It's a pity that later on, the rituals collapsed and the music broke down. In the world of great disputes where there is blood and enthusiasm, small countries strive to become stronger, and big countries continue to conquer. Such policies of respecting the elderly and providing for the aged naturally cease to exist.

After the founding of the Han Dynasty, the Ji Ciyuan was built in various places, which is the recovery and improvement of this system.

But the crux of the problem is that the common people are simple and cunning, and many times they are skeptical of the government, and their young experience has proved to them many times that when the government tells them to go east, they must to go west...

After all, rumors only stop at wise men, and wise men go hungry for nine meals in three days...

Therefore, Liu Bang still doubts Liu Ying's so-called "sincerity"!
Liu Ying asked seriously: "Does father know what the veterans here care about most now?"

Liu Bang shook his head.

Liu Ying explained:
"Respect, what they need is respect from people."

"Here, they live with the former Pao Ze, reminiscing about the glorious past, not only have companions, but also won't be looked down upon."

"And the respect I give them is to promise that after their death, a big man's battle flag can be covered on their coffins! The battle flag that once guided them to be invincible will always be by their side! "

Liu Bang looked around, not knowing whether it was an illusion or what, the battle song he had heard suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Why don't you say no clothes? The same robes as your son. Wang Yuxing's teacher, repair my spear. I share the same hatred with my son!"

"Why don't you say that you have no clothes? You are in the same pool with your son. Wang Yuxing's teacher, repair my spear and halberd. Work together with your son!"

"Why don't you say you have no clothes? I have the same clothes as my son. Wang Yuxing's division, repair my armor and soldiers. Walk with my son!"
