Chapter 245 Dong Zhuo: This is called Relief for Work (two in one)
“Replace prosperity with work!”
Under the waiting and anticipation of most of the officials in the court, headed by Xun Shuang and Wang Yun, Dong Zhuo, who pretended to be mysterious for a while, slowly said these four words.
As soon as these four words were spoken, everyone who was attentive could not help but be stunned again. For a while, most people did not understand what these four words meant.
Xun Shuang and Wang Yun related what Dong Zhuo had said before and thought about these four words carefully. For a while, they had a taste of it, and they vaguely felt that they had caught something extremely important.
But this kind of thing is vague, and in a short period of time, it is difficult to see clearly.
After Dong Zhuo uttered these four words, he saw that everyone was confused and couldn't understand the meaning, and he couldn't help but feel happy.
In the past, these guys relied on the fact that they read more than me, but they often said things that they didn't quite understand.
Now, with these methods that Kede taught me, I finally stumped these guys and beat them back for a round!
"Ahem..."
Dong Zhuo coughed twice, cleared his throat, and pulled the clothes around his neck with his hands. After doing everything that needed to be done, he spoke again:
"Replacing prosperity with work may sound like a futuristic idea, but it's actually very simple to put it bluntly."
A large number of people have moved here, and many families don’t have enough food to survive, right?
Under such circumstances, naturally we cannot watch these people starve to death, so relief must be provided.
This is what my great grandson-in-law Kede is doing.
However, after arriving in Chang'an, everything was waiting for improvement. It was not only the people who needed to be dealt with urgently, but also many things, such as the construction of palaces and the construction of docks.
The common people are only busy during the busy farming season, and the rest of the time they are very leisurely.
But even if this is the case, they will definitely be very unhappy if they are forced to build palaces during the slack period. They have just experienced a rebellion and have not yet completely established themselves. They will definitely be very unhappy.
If you want to make them happy, you need to come up with something tangible.
For example, when building palaces and docks, they were not allowed to carry dry food, but the government took care of the food.
For another example, in these matters, after a busy day, in addition to taking care of the food, I also keep accounts for them and convert them into money. When they withdraw it later, they can exchange the money for the food, cloth and other things they need...
This time, although Kede also distributed food rations to these people during the farming operation, the amount distributed was not too much. It was basically able to support them in the initial construction of the village.
Plant crops in the ground.
While waiting for the planted millet to mature, there is not much food to eat.
At this time, I started to build the palace, and used food as the starting money for the people who came to build the palace, so that they could earn food to support their families through building the palace...
Sikong felt that if this continued, when the palace was being built, would these people still complain?
Will the people still be in dire straits?
Will we still feel hatred and bitterness??”
Dong Zhuoyue said that the more joyful it is.
After explaining this extremely clever and practical method of using work as a substitute for energy, Dong Zhuo felt very happy.
After saying that, he looked at Xun Shuang and others and asked loudly.
Xun Shuang had already been thinking deeply about Dong Zhuo's words of "replacing development with work". When Dong Zhuo explained it, he felt that the fog in his mind suddenly disappeared and he suddenly became enlightened.
stand up!
I was surprised and happy at the same time!
So much so that even his body could not help but tremble slightly.
So clever!
It’s so clever!
Why didn’t I think about this when I was waiting for someone?!
When Xun Shuang was extremely excited, when he heard Dong Zhuo's question, he immediately saluted Dong Zhuo and said: "Replacing prosperity with work! How clever!"
Before the new grains planted in the ground fell, these people had nothing to live on, and the food they ate every day required grain relief from the government.
Rather than giving relief to these people in vain, it is better to use the money and food used for relief as wages and let these people come to work to earn...
In this way, the people not only obtained food, solved their urgent needs, but also made the palace and Xiwu run smoothly, and the people were able to enjoy the food without any complaints.
They would even express special thanks to the government for giving them a way to survive...
Replace prosperity with work!
It is indeed an excellent method!
With cement and vibrating with work, this palace can be repaired and the dock can be built!"
Xun Shuang said this with excitement, then saluted Dong Zhuo solemnly and said: "Xun Shuang didn't know that the Prime Minister already had such a good way to deal with it, so he made rash comments. Please forgive me..."
Dong Zhuo laughed and turned his gaze to Wang Yun: "What do Wang Situ think?"
Wang Yun took a step forward, saluted respectfully and said: "With the method of replacing vibration with work, the palace can be built! The dock can also be built with confidence!"
Wang Yun privately believes that the palace and the Xiangguo's shed cannot be built small enough and should be built in a larger area!"
Hearing Wang Yun's answer, Dong Zhuo laughed again, then looked away from Wang Yun and looked at the rest of the people in the palace.
"What do you think?"
After Dong Zhuo's explanation and what Xun Shuang said just now, even the slowest reacters among these people have already realized what the work-for-departure thing is and how beneficial it is.
.
Seeing Dong Zhuo asking questions, they all saluted Dong Zhuo and said loudly: "With the good strategy of using work to replace energy, the palace can be repaired! The dock can be built!!"
Looking at the postures of the officials in front of him and listening to their words, Dong Zhuo felt as comfortable as he felt in his heart, as happy as he wanted!
Since he led his troops into Luoyang and took power, until now, this is the first time that he has made these officials bow to him and submit to him without using force to coerce him!
There was no objection at all, everyone made it clear that they agreed with what they said!
This feeling is so wonderful!
More beautiful than those in the harem!!
This kind of spiritual refreshment is far beyond these!
Full of intoxication and high-spirited enjoyment of these, Dong Zhuo's mind also appeared in the figure of his good grandson-in-law Kede.
Kede is really his great grandson-in-law!
If he hadn't given him such an idea, how could he have made the civil and military ministers of the dynasty bow their heads today?
How can I enjoy this wonderful feeling that I have never experienced before?
"Replacing energy with work is a stroke of genius. I wonder who came up with such a good recipe?"
Xun Shuang, who was the first to express congratulations to Dong Zhuo, asked again.
They did not think that Li Ru and others under Dong Zhuo had come up with this extremely useful, easy-to-use, and ingenious method of using work as a substitute for prosperity, let alone Dong Zhuo.
Because this thing is completely different from the way Dong Zhuo acted before, and the level is far beyond what Dong Zhuo and others have shown before in terms of national economy and people's livelihood.
"This method was presented by my grandson-in-law Kede..."
Dong Zhuo, who was happily enjoying this wonderful feeling at this moment, spoke out without thinking.
When he said this, Dong Zhuo's chest puffed up unconsciously, and his face could not hide the admiration and glory.
After all, the person who came up with such a good idea and made all the civil and military ministers of the court bow their heads was not an outsider, but his personally selected grandson-in-law!
"hiss!"
As soon as Dong Zhuo finished speaking, some air-conditioning sounds suddenly sounded in the hall.
Sikong Xunshuang, although he had never had air-conditioning, he couldn't hide the extreme shock in his heart!
This answer is really unexpected!
He really didn't expect that using work as a substitute for prosperity, this extremely clever method, which once implemented, would benefit countless people, was actually thought up by Liu Cheng, a man who was good at leading troops in war!
But after a brief period of shock and disbelief, Xun Shuang felt that it was somewhat expected.
Indeed, among Dong Zhuo's men, the only one who was most likely to come up with such a method and give such an idea was Uncle Liu.
After all, not long ago, he was responsible for the settlement of the fields and the people, and Uncle Liu is still in charge of the settlement of the fields and the people.
It went very well.
Liu Cheng, Uncle Liu Huang!
This young man who came to Luoyang with Cao Mengde's head on his back was always able to break people's perceptions of him time and time again.
Just when you think this is all he knows, he does great things from other places. His practical actions tell you that Uncle Liu Huang knows more than just that!
It's as if he has endless treasures to discover!
The whole thing is a treasure!
Not only Xun Shuang was shocked, but Wang Yun, Sima Fang and others were also shocked.
This extremely ingenious method of using work as a substitute for prosperity was actually the work of Uncle Liu Huang!
Then Uncle Liu Huang, wasn't he a brave and invincible general?
Aren’t you ignorant of civil matters?
How did you come up with such a good idea?
He easily crushed himself and others with just one move?
Attendant Cai Yong, looking at the shocked and unbelievable looks of everyone in the hall, unconsciously held his arms in front of his chest, stood up straight, raised his head quite a bit, and his whole body was filled with excitement.
Wrapped in a special atmosphere.
He looks a little arrogant.
After all, it was his son-in-law who proposed the good strategy of replacing economic development with work, which made all the civil and military officials in the court bow to him!
After seeing him, you have to respectfully call him father-in-law!
At this time, Cai Yong has enough reasons to be proud.
At the same time, the construction of the palace and the docks was decided amidst the civil and military shocks of the Manchu Dynasty.
No one tried to dissuade Dong Zhuo from carrying out large-scale construction projects.
On the contrary, many people are worried that the scale of Dong Zhuo's palaces and residences is not large enough!
Because under the work-based policy, the food that people can obtain through work is directly linked to the amount of work.
Only when there are many things for the people to do can the people get enough food to support their families...
…
Wang Yun, Xun Shuang, Ma Yu, Ma Rixi, Sima Fang and other officials left Dong Zhuo, their hearts still filled with shock.
At this time, what they were thinking about the most was Uncle Liu Cheng and Emperor Liu!
"It seems that I need to act as soon as possible to send Diao Chan to Uncle Liu Huang!
It would be really bad for such a character to be completely devoted to Dong Zhuo without being able to win him over!"
After returning home, Wang Yun sat in the study and thought about what he had seen and heard at Dong Zhuo's place today. After being silent for a while, he murmured to himself...
…
Xun Shuang was also thinking about today's events. The more he thought about it, the more elusive he became about Liu Cheng.
After thinking back and forth like this for a while, Xun Shuang coughed.
It was only after I coughed up all the tears and runny nose that I felt somewhat better...
…
After announcing this matter in public today, Dong Zhuo also put the construction of the palace and the dock on his agenda.
Dong Zhuo also sent a special letter to Liu Cheng, informing Liu Cheng of the matter, and also asked about some specific implementation matters.
In the past, these Dong Zhuo never asked Liu Cheng, but usually only asked about Liu Cheng's wars.
Now, after Liu Cheng showed his talents in handling civil affairs that far surpassed Li Ru's, Dong Zhuo's mind changed unknowingly.
When he encounters these matters that cannot be resolved, the first thing he thinks of is not his good son-in-law Li Ru, but his good grandson-in-law Liu Cheng!
…
Liu Cheng sat in the big tent, looking at the handwritten letter sent by Dong Zhuo, with a smile on his face.
Is the work-based stimulus plan about to begin?
He sat here, read Dong Zhuo's letter carefully, and then started writing a reply to Dong Zhuo, answering some of the questions Dong Zhuo raised in the letter.
After checking it carefully and confirming that it was correct, he handed it to the person who came to deliver the letter and asked him to take the reply and go to see Dong Zhuo as soon as possible.
After sending Dong Zhuo's messenger away, Liu Cheng immediately began to send people to invite Zhang Liao and Jia Lan.
What these two people did most during these times was publicity work.
Now that work is about to replace economic development, it is natural to do a good job in publicity.
In this way, the people will be able to understand this matter later, which will help the implementation of the work-replacement matter.
So that people can earn some money to support their families.
Of course, the most important thing is that we need to let these people know through publicity that he is the one who asked Dong Xiangguo to spend money on food and hire them to work, instead of collecting free labor as in the past and giving them a way to live.
Liu Cheng Liu Kede.
Some people don't do any good deeds, but they brag to others about how they are doing, to put money in their own faces.
A person like Liu Cheng who has actually done good deeds will naturally not just remain silent and be an unknown hero.
Doing good deeds without leaving a name is not his style.
Zhang Liao and Jia Lan arrived one after another.
After Liu Cheng greeted them, he started to get down to business...
