"Sages, according to the people, the King of Yue did not recruit them for corvee, but they all came to help build roads voluntarily.
However, the King of Yue provided them with two meals, one lunch and one dinner, and the meal was said to be good.
The staple food is steamed buns ground from flour, with pickles or egg flower soup on the side dishes, and occasionally meat, so the people are happy to come!”
After Li Junxian investigated the situation, he immediately came to Li Shimin's side to report.
When Li Shimin heard this, he nodded slightly, and his frown brows also relieved a little.
No matter what, as long as Li Tai did not force labor to collect labor and forced the people to come here to build roads, it would be enough for Li Shimin.
Moreover, the orderly work of these people under Li Tai's governance also shows that Li Tai has the potential to benefit the people.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Du Ruhui murmured, "I didn't expect to see a scene in "Hongyan" here."
"Keming asked me to come to Gaoling, wasn't it for this scene?" Li Shimin said with a little confusion when he heard Du Ruhui's words.
"It's really not! The King of Yue can have such ability to govern, maybe he really has the talent of Ganluo."
Du Ruhui looked at the scene in front of him and praised Li Tai for a moment, but shook it again and said,
"I hope His Majesty will watch it, but he will have to wait until His Majesty Weishui can see it clearly."
"Oh! Let's go!" Li Shimin heard Du Ruhui's words and took the lead with a quick rush, then he was ahead.
Seeing this scene, Li Junxian quickly followed Li Shimin. Although Li Junxian may not be stronger than Li Shimin when it comes to martial arts, as the commander of the Xuanjia Army, Li Junxian cannot make Li Shimin a little bit
Danger.
However, Li Junxian, a guy with white horse and silver spear, was so conspicuous. He saw that he had a high official from Chang'an, so soon a helper told the corvee team and then passed it to Li Chunfeng's ears.
Li Chunfeng felt that he really had no status, so he went to inform Ma Zhou and Li Tai. If these people were just passing by Gaoling, it would be fine. If they planned to stay in Gaoling, if they had the sign of King Yue, unless the saint came in person, they would have gone through it.
Jiang Long lay down obediently for me.
At this time, Li Shimin led a hundred cavalry forward not long before he soon saw a large area of crisscrossing fields.
There is a canal between the fields and the fields, and you can see that the water flow in the canal is at least half a foot deep.
These water flows are clearly separated from the fields, but if the people need watering, just one spoonful of long spoons is enough to irrigate the fields.
"Sage, please see, there is water in the fields here!" Du Ruhui pointed to this large field of fields,
"The land in Gaoling County was not affected by the drought, which is why I want the saint to see it with my own eyes."
"Why is Keming?" Li Shimin frowned with some confusion when he heard Du Ruhui's words, and said,
"Why are the fields that Qingque reclaimed were not affected by drought? Because it is not easy to irrigate the Wei River in this canal!"
When Du Ruhui heard Li Shimin's words, he did not keep it a secret, but immediately explained,
"It was Chu Ke who led the craftsmen to develop a device that could draw water from the Wei River and Jing River called a tube truck.
Through this device, we can save energy to introduce water from the Wei River into this acre.
The second is Ma Zhou, the county magistrate of Gaoling County. Ma Zhou, Ma Zhou, dispatched the people of Gaoling County to dig out the canal and crisscross the river. During this period, there were no famous complaints, and no mistakes.
Such a talent, if you feel wronged the order of this county, it would be a mistake for the Tang Dynasty!”
To be honest, Du Ruhui didn't expect that Ma Zhou was such a strong man.
However, because the drought is coming, I am more concerned about water use. When I asked Du Chuke, I learned about this thing.
Then Du Ruhui investigated himself and saw that the entire Guanzhong was suffering from drought, but Gaoling was developing vigorously.
The most important thing is that this canal was developed by Ma Zhou mobilizing the entire Gaoling people in just one month.
To be honest, if it weren't for seeing it with your own eyes, Du Ruhui wouldn't believe that there would be such capable ministers in this world.
Although the sorted canals are somewhat uneven, I think it should be because of the rush to work.
But no matter what, these canals can ensure the use of water in the fields when the drought comes, which is a reflection of the ability of capable ministers!
How could such a capable minister continue to stay in the position of county magistrate? It would be a waste to continue to be a deputy to the King of Yue!
Du Ruhui said that he had no intention of targeting King Yue, and he simply found such a capable minister so he recommended him to Li Shimin.
"Ma Zhou!" Li Shimin quickly thought of this person and said,
"When Qingque was treating locusts, he was beside him. He was a crazy student and a talented person.
Because Qingque discovered it with one hand, I asked him to stay by Qingque's side as a mansion officer. I didn't expect that he had such ability!"
"This person is the way of a saint?!" Du Ruhui didn't expect that Li Shimin knew about Ma Zhou.
"Investigated!" Li Shimin glanced at Du Ruhui, and looked at the far-reaching cylindrical car, but he didn't say more.
"It's indeed a good thing. I remember that Quyuan Plough was invented by Chu Ke's guidance!
Now that the tube truck has been invented, it seems that Chu Ke is indeed unique in the conception of skills, and he should have the talent of the Ministry of Works!"
"I thanked the saint for Chu Ke!" Du Ruhui respectfully bowed to Li Shimin and thanked him.
"The little guy came very quickly, and he seemed to be staying in the county government office!" Li Shimin pointed to the front and said.
Du Ruhui followed Li Shimin's instructions, but saw Li Tai's ox cart's car, and even rushed over with a group of soldiers in the palace.
When he could see Li Shimin's position, Lu Anshou quickly waved his hand and stopped everyone.
Lu Anshou immediately saluted Li Shimin and said, "I have met the saint!"
The others looked at Lu Anshou and said that they were like to follow the same rituals, but some people were curious and wanted to raise their heads to see the Holy Face.
Li Tai even hurriedly came out of the ox cart and asked Li Shimin in confusion: "Aye, why did you come to Gaoling?"
"Come and see you!" Li Shimin came to Li Tai on a horse with a smile, touching Li Tai's head and said,
"I have done a good job in Gaoling these days. After Du Shangshu discovered it, let me come and take a look!"
"Am I very familiar with Du Ruhui?" Li Tai glanced at Du Ruhui suspiciously, but he must have a smile on his face.
"Thank you for your approval by Shangshu Du. Qingque will definitely continue to work hard and will definitely live up to your expectations and Aye!"
"The King of Yue is too rewarded!" Du Ruhui bowed slightly and said, "Now Guanzhong can make the people live and work in peace and contentment like Gaoling County. Apart from Chang'an City, there are few counties that can match it!"
Du Ruhui was more or less moved at this moment, although Du Ruhui hoped to maintain Li Chengqian's position as prince.
But Li Tai's performance was really too evil. Even Li Shimin was eighteen years old and had the help of saving the emperor.
However, Li Tai can cure locusts at the age of eight, and one can prosper when he is nine.
The weak brothers are strong, which may be a good thing for other people's families, but for the imperial family, this is doomed to be imbalanced.
At this time, Li Shimin said calmly, "Go to the county government to talk together, I want to take a look at your homework!"
"Oh~ OK!" Li Tai suddenly lost his proud expression when he heard this.
As for the homework that Li Shimin wanted to assess, it can only be said that under the supervision of Yan Qinli, Li Tai did all the homework.
Soon, Li Tai surrounded Li Shimin and came to the county government office. Li Shimin looked at it and found that the county government office was not very magnificent, but not very simple. Obviously, Li Tai did not put his mind on the costume of the county government office.
superior.
The only difference is that Ma Zhou was still writing hard as the county magistrate, and he kept sorting out the government affairs like a hill.
Seeing that Li Shimin and Du Ruhui were coming, Ma Zhou quickly stood up and bowed.
Li Shimin shook his hand and picked up the government affairs Ma Zhou had handled and took it up. Basically, it was arranged in the order of water flow after the canal was opened, or the dispute between family members, or the food and security personnel of the corvee team.
arrangement.
In short, it is all very detailed and cumbersome, but it has to let Ma Zhou, the county magistrate, make a decision.
"You county magistrate are relaxed, and you let the county magistrate do everything!"
Li Shimin looked at Ma Zhou, who was sweating on his forehead, then looked at Li Tai, who looked innocent, shook his head and said,
"What have you done in this position? Don't say that this County Magistrate came to do everything for you."
"Aye, you underestimate me too much!" Li Tai was quite dissatisfied when he heard Li Shimin's words.
While speaking, Li Tai immediately took out the minutes of the meeting that Bai He copied for himself, "This is my homework!"
After all, I am doing it myself. Planning is simple and simple, and fooling.
If you don’t have evidence of meeting minutes, you are basically doing things in vain.
So Li Tai basically asked Bai He to make the meeting minutes every time he made a plan, and after simplifying it, it was the summary of the meeting.
Some of my bragging things are trivial matters, but the real thing is that this thing proves that I work.
Li Shimin took the meeting minutes and read them one by one. He originally just flipped them casually, but it really seemed that he was getting slower and slower.
After reading it, Li Shimin was silent for a while, then handed the thing to Du Ruhui and said, "Keming, you can take a look too!"
Du Ruhui took the meeting minutes and read them. These meeting minutes were sorted out and looked quite simple.
However, the problems encountered by time and place are marked on the characters at the meeting, so it does not seem complicated.
The first is to develop the conditions for high-level evaluation of Gaoling County and the three steps to achieve the method and steps.
Du Ruhui looked at it and made an evaluation in his heart. From Gao Ling's positioning of the entire Guanzhong is definitely correct.
When planning the development direction of Gaoling, Li Tai's plan was completely fine. It was a plan tailor-made for Gaoling.
The only problem is that the conditions for politicians to complete this are a bit high, and it is a bit expensive to implement.
Du Ruhui looked at Ma Zhou, thinking that he wanted to recommend Ma Zhou to Li Shimin, and sighed silently.
With Ma Zhou's level, even if this plan cannot be completed in three years, as long as you stay in Gaoling County for five years, the plan will definitely be completed.
As for money, King Yue was able to implement this plan, and the next one had marked where the money came from and where the people came from.
Du Ruhui read the next meeting minutes, which was how to make the people actively repair the canal without burdening labor!
Li Tai's method is also simple. Ten neighbors choose one of them as representatives to attend the standard conference.
After Li Chunfeng explained the standards for building canals clearly, the people themselves were responsible for the construction of their own canals.
The canals in other public areas are left to the corvee team to be responsible. Whoever has the canals repaired first, then the canals will be opened to water first.
In addition, during this process, a month of project was set at the beginning of the planning, and a month of food was prepared. All the people involved in the construction of the canal would make two meals.
As long as the people who built the canal first passed the inspection of the corvee team, they could even take away their own remaining rations.
Under such circumstances, the people were willing to contribute, not to mention too much, but at least they repaired their own locations.
Du Ruhui thought this thing was OK, but he needed a good supervisor to adjust it, and it also cost some food.
Du Ruhui looked at the combination of Li Tai and Ma Zhou, and felt that it was perfect for them to leave this thing.
Then continue to turn down, and Gaoling County has a plan to add public toilets in Gaoling because of the increase in population. In order to ensure the cleanliness and hygiene in the county and to increase fertilizers, it is planned to add public toilets in Gaoling.
Not to mention that he is a person who needs to be able to grasp the general direction and is quite expensive, but he has done a very valuable project.
Du Ruhui had to sigh that Li Tai's idea of solving the problem was different from that of most officials in the Tang Dynasty.
Li Tai himself always made a plan, then found someone with ability to grasp the general direction, then dispatched the enthusiasm of the people at the bottom, and worked together to solve this difficulty.
In this process, we adhere to the principle that everyone can work hard and everyone can drink soup, so the people are happy to do it!
More importantly, although the plans produced by Li Tai require a certain degree of ability, Li Tai will mark who pays, where to pay, and how to pay, so that the executor can be very good during the execution process
Have less money problems.
Compared with the various plans submitted by the court, although they look gorgeous and dazzling, at least they are beautiful and outstripping Li Tai's plan, they always ask the court for money and then do the project themselves.
In the end, various projects get stuck as they are done. Often, the budget is insufficient and manpower is insufficient, so the court needs to allocate funds or issue additional corvee labor.
Because when you really do things, you spend money like water, and you will soon be short of money.
However, Du Ruhui couldn't help but feel a little confused when he looked at the plans formulated by Li Tai.
Li Tai, whom he knew, had two industries: duck raising and coal mines, and at most, some miscellaneous taxes in the Yue Palace.
But seeing Li Tai's attitude of making money without hesitation, at least letting people eat and then work, King Yue was simply spending a lot of money!
Or is it really so profitable to raise ducks these days? Du Ruhui was a little confused after reading Li Tai's meeting minutes.
