Soon, winter came, and heavy snow fell in the sky, and Du Ruhui continued to help Li Tai look at Gao Jifu.
With Du Ruhui in charge of the governor of Youzhou, Gao Jifu naturally felt extremely glorious.
At the same time, Gao Jifu was also hesitant in his heart, paced back and forth in the room, as if he wanted to go out, but he didn't dare to take a step.
"Ji Fu, the stove has a short winter and the medicinal wine is warm and the snow is warm. Just sit down and drink with me!"
Du Ruhui held the wine glass, and next to it was a high-concentration alcohol channel that he had finally received from the Youzhou Medical Hall.
Du Ruhui did not regard himself as a guest at all, but regarded the Youzhou governor's mansion as his mansion.
"Pu She..." Gao Jifu heard Du Ruhui's advice and walked a few steps outside. Finally, he couldn't help but walk back and spoke,
"Pu She, the King of Yan is so snowy that he even lets the people go to labor service, which will kill people!"
Du Ruhui heard Gao Jifu's words and took a sip of wine slowly and said,
"If someone dies, the King of Yan is even more anxious than us. What are you doing here again!"
"The King of Yan recruited corvee labor in this way, and also had labor labor in the wild on such a heavy snowy day. How could he feel worried about the people!"
Gao Jifu couldn't help but say angrily, "I must study the book of King Yan in this matter!"
"No one accepted it!"
Du Ruhui took a sip of the wine with some green plums in plain sight. He felt that the temperature was not enough, so he put the wine on the stove and slowly roasted it, full of patience.
"The saints have always been stingy with the people's strength, and the servants can help the people and the things. How can they watch the people of Youzhou suffer so much!"
Since Gao Jifu opened his mouth, he said to Du Ruhui with a little resentment and doubt.
"Gao Changshi was born in the Gao family of Bohai. Although he had experienced the friendship between the Sui and Tang Dynasties, he had never really seen the bottom class!"
Du Ruhui continued to look at his drink, but sighed a little.
Gao Jifu was a little dissatisfied, thinking in his heart that he had been with Li Mi in Wagang.
This starting point is much lower than that of the vast majority of people in the Tang Dynasty. As such, although Gao Jifu came from a famous family, he still persuaded Li Shimin to cherish the people's strength and reduce labor service. He also had this attitude when facing Li Tai.
.
Du Ruhui glanced at Gao Jifu, but also understood that Gao Jifu had some distrust in his heart.
But Du Ruhui was too clearer than Gao Jifu, who made him take every opportunity to defend Li Tai?
There was no way. At that time, Li Tai and Li Chengqian were both born by Empress Changsun. Li Tai showed such ability again, and he was not careful about Li Tai, who would he guard against.
Even the more Li Tai shows his abilities, the more he will be in the defense against Li Tai.
Needless to say, the last prince who could toss and such a troublesome one was named Yang Guang, and the Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou was connected from the south and north. Although the Tang Dynasty has enjoyed the benefits now, at that time, this was something that normal people could think of.
Therefore, the stronger Li Tai's ability in Gaoling was, the more Du Ruhui was wary of Li Tai.
And Gao Jifu's psychology is actually the same as Du Ruhui's original psychology.
This is also the reason why Du Ruhui is willing to give some advice. The stronger Li Tai is, the more dangerous it makes Li Tai look.
After all, if this ability is used in evil, it will be a disaster.
But when did I no longer really guard against Li Tai? Is Li Tai's superficial plan that I saw through the guilt at first glance, or did I realize that Gaoling corvee is different from other corvee service in the Tang Dynasty?
Du Ruhui didn't know, but now that Li Tai has left Chang'an and has been a vassal king in the border areas, he can really let go of his vigilance against Li Tai and look at Li Tai as an elder.
Therefore, Du Ruhui thinks Li Tai is very outstanding and is truly the son of a saint.
Gao Jifu was silent for a while, but finally saluted Du Ruhui with both hands and said, "Please also give me advice!"
"Do you think King Yan is a smart person?" Du Ruhui suddenly asked Gao Jifu a question.
"King Yan, of course, is a smart person!" Gao Jifu thought for a while, but answered Du Ruhui very solemnly.
Du Ruhui shook his head and said, "The King of Yan is extraordinary and even has the talent of making some gold out of nothing, but he is a fool."
Gao Jifu was stunned when he heard Du Ruhui's words. If King Yan was a fool, what would he be?
Du Ruhui continued, "Didn't you ask me what's suppressing you here, and letting the King of Yan display his talents on the canal, so that a group of people will still be able to go out for labor service on this snowy day!"
"Because as long as there are no restrictions, King Yan is willing to pay money by himself, and can use the money reasonably, and can really do this with a pity for the people.
Apart from the King of Yan, there are really few people in the court who can do it. Isn’t such a person stupid?”
Du Ruhui sighed, "If he hadn't been the son of the saint, with the current behavior of the King of Yan, I would have reported to him without you.
But I need to be grateful that I have such a stupid person in the Tang Dynasty, otherwise why should I come to Youzhou in the middle of winter? Isn’t it good to start south to Yuhang?”
Gao Jifu's words when facing Du Ruhui's questions, he didn't know how to answer for a while.
Du Ruhui continued, "If you have any doubts, follow the corvee service to shovel the snow for a few days.
Ask those corvee labor, why did they all go to the King of Yan to do corvee labor, or are willing to serve the corve labor of the Tang Dynasty, or even would rather donate money to the court to exempt corve labor from it!”
"I'm going to do corvee service?" Gao Jifu was so shocked that he couldn't speak when he heard Du Ruhui's words.
"Anyway, you've been idle these days and nothing happened. I'll suffer some losses and I'll deal with the governor's document for you for a few days!"
Du Ruhui looked at Gao Jifu and said calmly: "It's not a bad thing for you to take the opportunity to go out for a break."
Gao Jifu heard Du Ruhui's words and said a little unbelievable, "Pu She, you are here to be true!"
"There is no way, who made you a censor!" Du Ruhui said with a little sigh.
"Anyway, you want to understand why, the road is pointed out to you.
But whether you want to do it or not is your business.
Of course, you can also wait for this winter to pass and don’t do anything, after all, nothing will be wrong with this!"
"Don't look down on me!" Gao Jifu said to Du Ruhui,
"I just want to see with my own eyes how much casualties will be caused under the heavy snow.
Then I will just write to the court. Even if the saints dote on King Yan, I will still tell you!"
After Gao Jifu finished speaking, he turned around and left angrily.
"The censor's aura is still a little bit louder!" Du Ruhui murmured,
"Sage, although this guy is a crafty man, the habits of censors accumulated over the years are difficult to polish.
You will pick people and use him to deal with King Yan, but you will also ask me to come down and polish the aura of the censors. You can't wipe out the arrogance of him!
It is truly worthy of the name of medicine stone, it is smelly, hard, bitter and good!"
Du Ruhui just sighed and immediately noticed that he was slowly simmering the wine on a low heat and quickly picked it up.
After sniffing it gently, the fragrance of wine really came to his nose. Du Ruhui showed a satisfied look and said, "Haha, it's hot!"
"Gao Jifu disguised himself as corvee and entered Jinkou Village?" Li Tai heard the news from Wang Zhenru the next day.
Li Tai turned to look at Wang Zhenru and said, "What do he want to do?"
“I really don’t know!
If someone hadn't reported it to Youzhou, I wouldn't have known that Gao Changshi came to the corvee camp.
As soon as I knew about this, I came to report it!”
Wang Zhenru said solemnly to Li Tai at this moment, "How should we treat Gao Changshi."
Li Tai pressed his temple and said immediately, "Call Ma Zhou, he has to make an idea about this!"
Soon Ma Zhou hurried to the room, looked at Wang Zhenru and Li Tai curiously, and asked,
"What's the matter with the King of Yan in a hurry to find Zhou?"
Wang Zhenru did not hide it, but explained the matter clearly, "That's it, Gao Changshi entered the corvee life area."
"Is it sure it's Gao Changshi?" Ma Zhou was a little confused when he heard Wang Zhenru's words.
"Whether you have ever done a job, you can see the corvee service below.
If not, I suspect that this person is a spy and I have reported it specifically to me, how can I find out about Gao Changshi!"
"Since Gao Changshi himself doesn't know about this matter, it's easy to deal with!" Ma Zhou smiled,
"No matter what Gao Changshi wants to do, we don't know. Just treat him as an ordinary corvee!
By the way, what is the task of the camp where Gao Changshi is located? Is it difficult?"
"Gao Changshi's location is mainly responsible for cleaning snow and spreading salt every day, and preparing for road construction. Does it need to be changed?"
Hearing Ma Zhou's words, Wang Zhenru asked,
"After all, it's just a temporary recruitment of people. Generally speaking, they are just responsible for some simple tasks!"
Ma Zhou bowed to Li Tai and said, "King Yan, we are not clear about Gao Changshi's purpose, and I think we should not alarm the enemy.
Let me go to Du Pushe for inquiries first. If we know why Gao Changshi is like this, we can discuss it in a targeted manner.
If you do things more and more mistakes, you will have a rift with Gao Changshi. Do you see if it is feasible!"
Li Tai nodded when he heard Ma Zhou's words and said,
"Just do what King Bin said, the True Confucians should not take much care of the corvee service where Gao Changshi was. What should they do or what should they do.
Although I don’t know what he wants to do, seeing him so cautiously, it would be unsightly if he exposes it.
Let’s wait for the information from Du Pushe’s side before telling it. The news will not be spread any more until now.
As for Gao Changshi, we just don’t know him. Anyway, his work is not difficult to sweep snow and spread salt.”
Hearing Li Tai's words, Wang Zhenru breathed a sigh of relief and stopped saying anything more.
After all, this incident still puts a lot of pressure on Wang Zhenru.
Even though Li Tai had no intention of being afraid of Gao Changshi, he and Wang Zhenru were not in the same system, but after all, Gao Jifu was still the highest official in Youzhou's internal affairs.
Soon, Ma Zhou, who had been traveling, brought back the news from Du Ruhui, that was that Gao Jifu was honing his mind in the White Dragon Fish Suit.
What they censors often do is to examine the local people's livelihood, so as to understand the people and make suggestions.
Li Tai just felt that the censors made suggestions every day, and they almost heard the news and did not need to be responsible for their words.
I never thought that the censors of this era actually had the spirit of going deep into the bottom like an undercover reporter.
I couldn't help but respect Gao Jifu, who was born in a censor, and the unhappiness he had when he was with him these days was also erased by this kind of respect.
However, Li Tai didn't think much about it when he came to the camp he had just built along the canal, which was the living area for corvee labor. He just thought that he was not worried about recruiting corvee labor in the middle of winter.
After all, now cattle and sheep are basically entering the pen, and the people are hiding at home. The entire Youzhou is not completely stagnant, but the reality is that even foreign races will not attack Youzhou after it snows.
One of the important reasons is that even if the purpose of the aliens attacking the Central Plains is to survive, it is not to die.
For the alien race, Youzhou is a war fortress specially prepared for the alien race.
Why the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun in ancient times was so important? Isn’t it because the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were the best northern defense line?
Therefore, at this time, the entire Youzhou was actually quite leisurely. Only the Grand Canal that was being built here has been transferred to some of Youzhou corvee labor. However, after these corvee labor service were completed, the excellent ones were selected by Li Tai's Tianjin corvee labor system.
Walk.
From then on, I didn’t say that I could eat food when I was a soldier, but I could eat a full meal every meal. I also received food coupons every week. If the locals who could go home on the day of the week were able to exchange food directly, and the food would be replaced on the same day.
Take it away.
I have seen such a scene a lot, and those corvee labor who were holding food coupons in their hands were unable to go home on the same day, but they were also a little relieved.
Because the King of Yan promised that the corvee labor who was willing to leave the camp will be able to leave the camp at the latest of the 25th day of the New Year.
However, after the Chinese New Year, if you are willing to come back, you must come back before the eighth day of the lunar month.
Of course, these are enjoyed by Tianjin corvee. If other ordinary corvee that was not successfully selected as Tianjin corvee, at most they can enjoy the benefits of hot bath and food and accommodation.
I have to go back to complete the basic corvee that needs to be completed every year.
However, when they returned to their hometown, they truly realized the difference between the King of Yan and other corvee labor.
I feel that if the King of Yan recruits labor service again next time, I will be more active.
After all, other corvee labor in the court do not care about food, and such a life is already a paradise for the lower class people.
"Oh oh ~ These days are just under the underworld! Hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu
Gao Jifu took a deep breath, felt the warm current straight from his legs into his brain, and once again felt this unforgettable sense of comfort. This was the happiest time every day after he became a corvee service, that is, soaking his feet.
"You! You are so particular!" While working in the corvee, he looked at Gao Jifu washing his face and feet with hot water every day, and sighed, "Gao Langjun is from a wealthy family, but can you recognize the words? If you recognize the words, you will enter.
Only when the corvee service in Tianjin has a future.”
"Uh... I recognize a few!" Gao Jifu felt that he wanted to say that he didn't know how to read, but it seemed that others didn't believe it!
