"I wonder where General Zhu Jun is now, and why is it so quiet in the military camp? Didn't it mean that the emperor is coming today?"
The young man looked at Li Shushi up and down for a long time, looking very interested. The slightly ambiguous and aggressive look in Li Shushi's eyes made Li Shushi even take half a step back unconsciously.
It was Li Shushi's half-step back that made the young man very happy, as if he had succeeded in his prank. And the subsequent questioning was also pleasant, as if his elders were caring about his naughty junior.
However, although the young man looked calm and indifferent, Li Shushi clearly felt the dissatisfaction of the servants and bodyguards behind him, and was obviously complaining about Zhu Jun not coming to greet him in person. Although he felt that this young man's His subordinates were a bit too domineering, but if he thought about it, if the other party and Zhu Jun originally made an appointment to meet but were let go, well, he would be unhappy too.
"We don't know whether His Majesty will come today. However, I want you to know that last night was New Year's Eve, so everyone had a lot of fun, drank a little too much, and slept a little late, so today we naturally look better. Be quiet."
"Haha, you kid is really interesting. You don't look like a decisive general. I look like a shop assistant. Why would you behave in such a despicable manner if you are not related to me? Could it be that there is something wrong with you?"
Regarding Li Shushi's performance, the young master seemed funny and angry, but Li Shushi always felt that he did not take his performance seriously. Although it was not clear from his face and expression, Li Shushi always felt like this. But since I can no longer be the excellent clerk I was once so proud of, I'd better stop pretending to be a sheep.
"That's not the case. It's just that we have just come off the battlefield and are a group of new soldiers, so we are always a little confused. I heard from the veterans that if the soldiers always behave like this, it is easy to cause the camp to roar, so I will also I hope everyone can have fun and relax. You haven’t seen it, but there are hundreds of thousands of corpses in the valley east of Wancheng. It’s so miserable.”
"Huh? Didn't you say that the battle in Wancheng was a great success? Didn't we suffer a lot?"
"That's not true. Although I didn't participate in Wancheng, there were not many people when the big guys came back. But think about it, there are hundreds of thousands of corpses, all piled together, even if they are all The enemies were our Han people a year ago, and they were still paying taxes and doing various corvee services for our Han Dynasty. But they disappeared overnight. In fact, most of them were just a group of people. The deceived people just feel that life lacks hope."
Regarding Li Shushi's emotion, the young man was silent. Although it was only a short moment, it was obvious that Li Shushi's words still touched him. However, Li Shushi also noticed that the servants following the young man seemed to be looking at him. There was something wrong with their eyes, as if they had some deep hatred against themselves. Did they say that they had offended them? Li Shushi didn't understand.
"So how do you think we can prevent those people from being fooled?" The young man seemed to be very interested in this question.
"It's hard to say, after all, everyone's desires are different, and even the same person's desires are different under different circumstances. As a result, after you satisfy one of his wishes, he may have more wishes, and you will always satisfy them.
But in general, for most people, if they can survive and have hope of a better life, they will not take risks easily. At this time, laws will be used to regulate their behavior,
I think it’s enough to use virtue to influence their behavior.”
It’s hard to answer young people’s questions. Communism and other things will offend everyone. Even large-scale handicraft workshops, the predecessor of capitalism, cannot be realized overnight, let alone a big prerequisite for realizing capitalism.
It was a developed circulation field, but the status of the merchants in the Han Dynasty was completely useless.
"It's not good to talk empty talk. There are many people who can talk big words, but if you let those people do things, they are basically useless."
The young man seemed to be interested and insisted on asking Li Shushi to tell him one, two, three, four.
"I'm just a child, so I can't give you any good advice, but based on my experience, the corvee service in the Han Dynasty seems to be a breakthrough in solving the problem. Because no matter which one of the witch doctors and witch doctors are employed,
They all rely on their own labor and get paid by others, and the more they do, the better they can get. Then I think, if the corvee in the Han Dynasty was also based on the number of work and
If the result is paid
, then those who work can use the remuneration they get to buy things that can make them survive. And the more they do, the more remuneration they get. I believe that as long as the remuneration is not set too low, then they
They will work hard. And the court can also collect a poll tax from these people and a transaction tax from the people they buy things from. Of course, my idea is very vulgar, and maybe it is just a daydream."
After saying so much, Li Shushi felt a little dry, but when he saw the young man and the servant behind the young man, his eyes seemed to look at him softly. It seemed that the words were not in vain, so it was not in vain.
.
"As expected, you once worked as a clerk in a grocery store. You really think like a businessman, but those corrupt people will severely criticize your idea. But, I like it very much. Your proposal is really
It’s very interesting, very interesting.”
The young man patted Li Shushi's shoulder happily, not very hard, but everyone could see that the young man was very happy, and he obviously agreed with Li Shushi's comparison of the country to a store.
"Okay, help me find someone to go over and hurry up General Zhu Jun. It's going to be a day in the morning. If the emperor comes soon, he will suffer."
The young man pointed to the sun above their heads and said in a relaxed tone, and even winked at Li Shushi with a cheerful expression.
"Oh, you didn't tell me that I forgot about this. Thank you for reminding me. It's so cold outside, why don't you come and sit in my tent. It's always warmer inside than outside."
"You just let me, an outsider, in. Don't you know what Jianghou did in Xiliu?"
Facing Li Shushi's invitation, the young man made a joke intentionally or unintentionally. But Li Shushi understood it because he knew the meaning of the name Jianghou in the Han Dynasty. Because there were two most famous Jianghou in the Han Dynasty.
individual, one
He was Zhou Bo, the founding hero of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the man who quelled the civil strife of the Lu family and laid the foundation for the Han Dynasty. The other one was the most famous general in the Wen and Jing dynasties in the early Eastern Han Dynasty. His name was Zhou Yafu.
starting point.
It is said that when the Huns marched southward, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty Liu Heng sent three men each to lead an army to garrison in the surrounding area in order to ensure the safety of the capital. In order to ensure that the soldiers worked wholeheartedly for him, the emperor went to the military camp to work. As a result, Zhou Yafu's camp order was banned
The swords were sharpened, and the defense of the other two camps was lax. The result made Emperor Hanwen very emotional. Now that the young man mentioned this matter intentionally or unintentionally, it was not a good sign for Li Shushi.
"Jianghou is naturally ready to fight against the Huns who may invade southward at any time. Our group of people have already fought the battle. What do you think we should do if we are ready to fight and are misunderstood? There are no enemies around us."
"Hahahaha..." When the young man heard Li Shushi's explanation, he gently shook his head and laughed heartily. After a while, he stopped laughing, pointed at Li Shushi with his finger and said, "You really
You are indeed a good guy from the grocery store. I really believe it now. You are a very interesting little naughty guy. Maybe having a guy like you here will have an unexpected effect on the big man. Maybe we will have many cooperations in the future.
There may be opportunities, but I hope you won’t disappoint me.”
As soon as the young man finished speaking, Li Shushi saw something flashing in the distance from the direction of Zhu Jun's military camp out of the corner of his eye. Although the young man in front of him didn't know his identity or his relationship with Zhu Jun, even if it wasn't for
This year in front of me
Young man, Zhu Junke still has to lead his soldiers to welcome the emperor's arrival. If he doesn't prepare quickly, then Li Shushi believes that even if the emperor himself doesn't take action, those scholars will directly face the eunuch's censure.
A crowd of onlookers.
After being reminded by the servant next to the young man, the young man apparently also noticed the movement over there. He looked at the slightly flustered figure over there, then turned around and said to Li Shushi with a smile.
"Although I only spoke a few words to you, I feel very happy to be with you. I hope you can use your 'simple insights' in the place you are about to govern. Xihe is a very complicated place, even if it is a big man
The imperial court also gave up because it needed to invest a lot of money there every year but could not see much output.
There are plans there. But I am very unwilling to do so. I don’t want to see the land that my ancestors spent huge sums of money and lives to lay down be abandoned in my generation. I hope you can bring some changes for me, although I also know this.
It’s difficult. If you can do it, it would be a good idea to have the governors of Wuyuan County, Shuofang County and Shang County give it to you.”
The young man gave Li Shushi a look that said, "I'm very optimistic about you." Then he turned around and strode towards Zhu Jun's camp.
"Who is this guy? I always feel that he looks very impressive. He can't be the emperor, but I remember Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, was a guy who liked extravagance and waste. How could he do this kind of private visit incognito?
Where’s the stuff?”
Li Shushi, who had no clue at all, could only shake his head and walk towards his camp. After all, he had been standing outside for so long. It would be a good idea to go back and be lazy and see if Su Xiaoluoli had prepared any delicious snacks. It was probably the emperor's banquet.
