Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 44 Study hard and take notes

With the three main tasks in charge, Li Tai looked at the remaining Liu Shenwei, Wei Xu, and Peacock.

Ma Zhou also continued talking about the plan discussed with Li Tai, and continued:
"If Chunfeng, Chuzhi, and Chuke are tasked with developing our Gaoling with the help of refugees.

Then Shenwei, Wei Xu and... Peacock, your mission is how to provide the most basic protection for refugees. "

"From the time when the refugees came to Gaoling, first of all, all the people need to be washed with hot water, and then put on the clean clothes we prepared, with numbers written on them, in order to confirm which refugees they are, and to facilitate Lu Cai's registration. "

When Ma Zhou said this, he looked at the peacock. After all, as the peacock gradually showed his talent as a businessman, part of Li Tai's external business began to be transferred to the peacock, such as cloth, bathhouses, hotels and poultry. Abandon.

Ma Zhou, on the other hand, has been in charge of managing the coal mines, and at the same time continues to acquire and merge coal mines in Guanzhong.

"I..." Peacock took a deep breath, clenched his fists and said,

"The bathhouse is easy to talk about, as long as the coal supply is available, I can send some people from Chang'an City to build a temporary bathhouse for 500 people to bathe at the port at a time, which is not troublesome.

But clothes are different. Clothes need to consume cloth. Although I have cloth in the property I inherited from the Zheng family, I can cut at most two thousand pieces, and this is counting all the top silks.

In other words, we are running out of cloth stocks right now!

Although I am not reluctant, but I have a little doubt, even if it is to provide relief to the victims, do we need cloth! "

Hearing this, Ma Zhou smiled understandingly, and replied to the peacock, "I discussed this point with the King of Yue, and the King of Yue gave many reasons, but there is one thing that the King of Yue convinced me.

Only by letting them wear clean clothes can the people be reminded that they are no longer refugees and that they are about to welcome a new life.

For the refugees, the clothes are the best proof to comfort them and let them integrate into our city. "

After listening to Ma Zhou's answer, Li Tai also took up the conversation, and continued, "The sense of belonging doesn't happen all at once.

But we can start with a piece of clothing and make them feel like a new life has begun.

They came from different places, and what was left was numbness and despair for survival.

And this dress does not give them warmth, but gives them hope for a new life and a little trust in us! "

Hearing Li Tai's words, everyone was thoughtful. To be honest, no matter how poor the people present were, they still had something to eat.

They just feel that the refugees are pitiful, but it is difficult for them to have Li Tai's empathy for the lower class. For a while, everyone looked at Li Tai with warmth. Although Li Tai kept saying bad things about Confucianism, such a Li Tai Isn't Tai the benevolent Lord in Confucianism?

Li Tai continued, "Of course, cloth is indeed a big problem, I don't know if the imperial court has any stocks.

But since the imperial court came from taxation, no matter how poor the cloth is, there must be a uniform standard in the warehouse.

For the common people, this standard is saved by their frugality for a year. If it is given to them, they will definitely not be able to afford it.

Although I am the king of Yue, it is okay if I want to get food relief from the court for free, but I don’t think I can do it if I want to get cloth for free.

But if I buy from the imperial court, I'm afraid I really can't afford it. After all, if there are refugees, there will be a lot of them! "

Li Tai really has no money. If it is in his own system, Li Tai can get a lot of supplies by moving around and transferring accounts up and down.

But for assets outside of your own system, you have to spend real money to buy them.

Li Tai said that he really has no money, so poor that he can't even touch a copper coin.

Moreover, the cloth collected from the imperial court's taxes is really not for ordinary people to wear, it is mainly used as currency.

If these cloths are replaced by the common people in a large area, I am afraid that it will be too expensive, and it will make the common people feel panic.

The most important thing is that Li Tai feels that he is helping refugees and not doing charity, and giving them a piece of clothing is too generous.

"If you didn't go from the imperial court..." Peacock said, "then there is only one place in Chang'an!"

"Don't come forward about this matter, I asked Zheng Fengchi to come over and hand over the cloth!" Li Tai said to Peacock.

"Since it's a matter of trading, please let the king hand over this matter to Peacock!" Peacock said to Li Tai,

"Your Majesty has always done a fair deal with the Zheng family. I will definitely buy [-] bolts of cloth from the Zheng family at the cheapest price."

Li Tai was taken aback when he heard the peacock's words. He didn't expect the peacock to have such courage. To be honest, even if the cloth is the cheapest, it would cost around 250 Wen. The limit is reached.

If you really buy [-] bolts of cloth, it will be [-] guan, which is already quite a big business.

One of Li Tai's down jackets is consistent, and now the entire down jacket market may not be full of [-] throughout the winter.

One of them is that the scale of breeding is limited when the feed problem is not resolved, and the other is that this kind of thing is still considered a luxury product, which is basically used by the upper class, rather than bought and sold by the people at the bottom.

Li Tai was also curious about the peacock's ability, but he said:

"Since that's the case, I will hand over this matter to you. In addition, you will hand over other basic materials when you hand over to the court.

These things are the guarantee of the common people, you can't take them lightly. "

"No!" Peacock nodded upon hearing Li Tai's order, and replied earnestly, with firm eyes.

"Miraculous Doctor Liu is your task next!" Ma Zhou saw Peacock's reply, and said to Liu Shenwei:
"In the entire medicine garden, except for the herbs for replenishing blood and treating sword wounds, all other medical resources that you think you need can be dispatched, including people and things.

Your task is only one point, heal the people as much as possible, don't give up anyone, don't let the refugees produce plague! "

"No!" Hearing Ma Zhou's words, Liu Shenwei agreed decisively, as if he wanted to do something big right away.

After all, for Liu Shenwei, this kind of task of treating the common people is his favorite as a doctor.

Listening to Li Tai's proper arrangements for the refugees, Liu Shenwei became more motivated to work.

As for the inability to use the herbal medicines for replenishing blood and healing swords, it was nothing to Liu Shenwei.

After all, refugees are not fighting, and there are not many opportunities to use these two herbs.

Wei Xu watched Ma Zhou assign tasks one by one, but he alone seemed to have nothing to do, and he was a little envious for a while.

He wanted to open his mouth, but when he thought that he was a letter, he hesitated to speak, afraid that he should not speak by himself.

He looked left and right, counting the people one by one, silently thinking in his heart that it should be his turn.

"Wei Xu!" Ma Zhou glanced at Wei Xu, as if he had seen through Wei Xu's careful thinking, and said at this moment.

"Your task is the heaviest, because you are required to maintain the order of the entire refugee.

Although the imperial court will send garrisons to Gaoling, you are the ones who are responsible for daily patrols and security.

Because it is inevitable that dragons and snakes are mixed among refugees, I will draw up a rule, and you and your bad people must memorize them all!

If you can’t understand the words, I will arrange someone to take you to sing and read, and you must memorize the rules.

If the refugees violated the law, they would be scolded for the first time, and pulled out of the team and sent to the coal mine for the second time.

Deal with these refugees as you did with the Gang of Heroes! "

"No!" Hearing Ma Zhou's words, Wei Xu rubbed his hands, he was quite familiar with this matter.

"As for me, I am responsible for coordinating everyone. As the main person in charge of welcoming the refugee wave, if you encounter difficulties, you can come to the county government office at any time. From today on, I will live in the county government office." Ma Zhou faced everyone. Said confidently.

Seeing Ma Zhou's words, everyone glanced at Ma Zhou unexpectedly, but nodded in agreement.

But Li Tai saw that everyone already understood the mission, so he bowed to everyone and said,
"For me, if I can eat this refugee and digest it well, then the Gaoling County assessment will definitely meet the upper and upper standards.

So at this moment, I would like to thank all of you for your help all the time, and I hope you can help me get through this hurdle! "

Everyone was taken aback when they heard Li Tai's words, not knowing how to react, and some even bent down in fear.

Ma Zhou saluted Li Tai neither humble nor overbearing, and said, "I should wait to thank the King of Yue.

We originally hid in Sha Shuo, but fortunately we met the King of Yue so that we had a chance to stand out.

As long as this wave of refugees can be quelled, with this qualifications, I believe that the imperial court is even willing to let us be the county magistrate directly. "

Everyone nodded when they heard Ma Zhou's words. At this time, there is no need to say anything, just follow Ma Zhou's words and say that I am the same.

With the end of the meeting, everyone started their work full of energy, as if their steps were steadfast.

As everyone left one by one, Li Tai turned his head to Bai He and said,

"Baihe, it's still the same as before. After the minutes of today's meeting have been streamlined, copy a copy for everyone who attended the meeting.

The other one is reserved in Yuewang Mansion, and the other is reserved in Gaoling County! "

"Wei!" Bai He agreed in a low voice, hesitated for a moment, and then said to Li Tai, "King Yue, do you need to pay attention to peacocks?"

"What's wrong?" Li Tai asked with some doubts when he heard Bai He's words.

"When the peacock promised [-] pieces of cloth, that look of determination!" Bai He said seriously.

"Eyes? Can you tell the meaning?" Li Tai asked Bai He suspiciously when he heard Bai He's words.

Bai He took it for granted: "We are not allowed to make loud noises in the palace, if the voice is too loud, we will be punished.

So just look directly at each other's eyes, basically if it's just judgment, it should be right!

It's a pity that I have been out of the palace for a while, and I can no longer talk with winks. "

Li Tai waved his hand with a raised expression, "Understood, then go and investigate, and report back if you have any situation!"

"Wei!" Bai He heard Li Tai's words without any hesitation, and was even a little excited.

After Li Tai completed the plan, he was going to find Yan Qinli. There was no special reason, just two words, class!
Li Tai, who is already nine years old, basically still makes plans by himself, and leaves it to Ma Zhou to deal with after finishing, and he will definitely not work.

But it was not easy for Li Tai, because he would soon be caught by Yan Qinli and go to class obediently.

At most, because of the one-to-one teaching, Li Tai's time can be adjusted freely, but Yan Qinli will not let Li Tai easily mess around with what kind of course plan there is every month!

To tell you the truth, Yan Qinli felt a little sad when he was the only one who was not called to the entire agricultural school for the meeting today.

Compared with other strange and obscene skills, the king of Yue didn't like Confucianism, or he didn't pay much attention to Confucianism, Yan Qinli had nothing to do.

However, watching Li Tai listen carefully to his lectures every time he came back, and show respect for himself, this made Yan Qinli feel that he had a heavy responsibility.

Because although Li Tai is now the head of a county, he has never relaxed his homework and is studying hard every day.

This is very similar to the prince. The prince was educated in the traditional Confucian tradition, and the Confucian masters gave lectures to the prince almost every day.
The prince's study is also very good, not only praised by the officials, but even the occasional memorials he wrote are quite elegant.

Thinking of this, Yan Qinli couldn't help cheering himself up again, he needed to teach Yue Wang well, so that he could live up to Yan's name.

Although Li Tai didn't know Yan Qinli's psychology, he never underestimated Confucian knowledge.

Because Confucian knowledge is used to reconcile social contradictions and allocate resources is indeed unique. Even in the 21st century, its theory still has tenacious vitality.

Not to mention that it is now in the Tang Dynasty, which can be said to be the most suitable theory for imperial power.

So Li Tai still earnestly studied Confucian knowledge from Yan Qinli.

Because if you understand Confucianism, you will be able to better understand this era and the internal rules of the Tang Dynasty.

For example, in addition to the law, there is also etiquette, which constituted the basic rules of society in the Tang Dynasty.

As a prince, he can naturally ignore many etiquettes, but Li Tai knows very well that only by knowing the etiquettes and understanding the etiquettes can he use the etiquettes and even modify them.

It's as if normal people don't study law specially. Faced with thick legal books, only criminals and lawyers will study law these days.

Because only in this way can they understand the law, use the law, and seek their own interests through legal rules.

If you see a person who spends most of the night studying the Criminal Law, he is not taking the bar exam, but he is preparing to make a fortune.

After all, as long as you know where the legal line is drawn, then when you do things, you will know what you can do and what you can't do, and the etiquette of this era is the same.

Therefore, Li Tai respected Yan Qinli very much, and made notes of the etiquette he taught.

I don't say whether I will use it, but for the royal family, sometimes the rules of etiquette are more effective than the laws.

Just as Li Tai continued to enrich himself, the drought caused by the long-term lack of rain in Guanzhong made refugees instinctively come to the big cities.

And the largest city in Guanzhong is naturally the capital Chang'an!
