Chapter 43 After all, I am the one who bears everything
As Li Changfeng left and Bingbing left with Xu Feng'er, Emperor Qianwu and the three came to a deserted corner.
At this time, Chen Jiande suddenly knelt on his knees and saluted: "I pay my respects to Your Majesty, may my Emperor live long live!"
Emperor Qianwu stood with his hands behind his back and looked at Chen Jiande calmly: "Chen Jiande, Xiaojiu doesn't know my identity yet. You must hide it from me and never expose it. Do you understand?"
The tone was calm, but Chen Jiande could clearly hear the threat in the words, and with cold sweat on his forehead, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will definitely not reveal your Majesty's identity."
"Very good, get back on your feet."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Chen Jiande did not dare to leave rashly without Emperor Qianwu's permission. Seeing Emperor Qianwu walking away, he was a little confused, but after Gao Dali's signal, he quickly followed.
Not long after, we came to a street that was originally in tatters. The mud pits were full of smelly sewage, mixed with feces and urine, and it had a very foul odor.
However, now, under the sun, a group of people are gradually repairing the broken roads under the command. Many potholes have been filled in, and some particularly large potholes have been filled with rocks and then filled with sand.
At first glance, the road surface is much smoother and much better than before.
And the people who repair the roads are basically refugees who have fled.
From time to time, we can see refugees who are tired from working and can go to the tents set up by the government to enjoy the cool air. There are also tea stalls with special tea for free drinking.
Although Emperor Qianwu had known for a long time that the refugees were being provided with work-for-work relief, he only thought that they would just give them a job and food and drink, but he did not expect that such thoughtful and humane considerations would be given.
Emperor Qianwu looked back at Chen Jiande, and said with a faint smile: "Chen Jiande, I didn't expect that you actually knew how to solve the problem of refugees with the method of 'relief for work'. You really provided the court with a very good solution, 伱How can I reward you?"
Chen Jiande actually wanted to pretend to claim this credit. With this incredible credit, it would not be a problem to return to the capital in the future.
But he knew in his heart that this method was provided and implemented by His Highness the Ninth Prince, and he always felt that His Majesty seemed to know His Majesty very well, but His Highness did not know His Majesty very well, and did not even recognize His Majesty's identity. He felt very scared and did not dare to do so at all. Pretending to claim this huge credit, he honestly confessed: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I dare not ask for a reward. This is because the method of 'relief through work' was thought up and implemented by His Highness."
"Oh, is what you said true?" Emperor Qianwu looked at him deeply.
The emperor's heart was unpredictable, so Chen Jiande hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, everything the minister said is true, and there is absolutely no lie."
Hearing this, Emperor Qianwu suddenly snorted coldly: "What a Xiaojiu. Since he knows about the method of 'relief through work', he doesn't even tell me about it. He doesn't take my father into consideration at all."
Chen Jiande was frightened when he heard that and did not dare to answer the question at all.
Having said that, Emperor Qianwu looked at the refugees who were working. Although he was sweating profusely, he did not complain at all while working, and his face no longer had the frown of the past, but was filled with smiles. His heart was very complicated. .
Although I don’t know why Li Changfeng concealed his purpose, in the final analysis, this work-for-relief method is a way to benefit the country and the people. The smiles on the faces of these refugees are all happy from the bottom of their hearts.
How could he not know that these refugees used to be sad because they had no food and clothing, but now they have jobs, food and clothing, and are no longer hungry, so they are smiling so happily.
At this time, Emperor Qianwu saw a few rather strange people on the street, with a red cloth tied around their shoulders, walking back and forth on the street. They were neither repairing nor setting up stalls for business, and they were braving the bright sun. Very weird.
Emperor Qianwu pointed to one of them and asked Chen Jiande: "Do you know what these people are doing?"
Chen Jiande shook his head blankly: "I don't know either, I only know that this is related to His Highness the Ninth Prince."
Is it related to Xiaojiu?
Before he could think about it further, Emperor Qianwu suddenly saw a resident opening the door of his house, picking up a basin of sewage and about to spill it.
However, before it could be splashed out, one of the people with a red cloth on his arm rushed forward with a swish sound and said seriously: "Stop immediately, I am a street civilized law enforcement officer, and I am officially informing you that from now on, no one will be allowed to do anything." Sprinkle sewage casually, otherwise you will be fined fifty coins!"
"Fifty coins? We might as well go and grab it!" The woman was shocked and angry, and started shouting and cursing in the street, "Why is it not allowed to splash sewage? It was allowed in the past, otherwise where should we splash the sewage? Do you just fall at home?"
The street civilized law enforcement officers pointed to a vehicle with many large wooden barrels not far from the street and said: "There are water trucks on the street that are specially designed to take over sewage. In the future, sewage can only be poured into the water trucks. Otherwise, if you are found to be indiscriminate, If you spill sewage, you will be fined fifty cents for the first time, one hundred cents for the second time, and two hundred cents for the third time. There is no upper limit, do you understand?"
The woman refused and cursed: "Why do I have to carry it so far and why do you have the right to fine me?"
The law enforcement officer snorted coldly: "Because we are all law enforcement officers appointed by the government. If you don't comply, you will not be fined. You will be arrested and detained in a cell for fifteen days, and we will make an announcement to the outside world."
When the woman heard that it was someone from the government, she immediately became confused.
Since ancient times, people have not fought against the officials. As an ordinary woman, she did not dare to go against the officials, so she had to carry the sewage to the water tanker and pour it into the sewage bucket.
Gao Dali was filled with admiration. This was the routine operation of His Highness the Ninth Prince. He directly moved the government to serve as his backer. Ordinary people would not dare to go against the government.
Emperor Qianwu suddenly realized: "I finally understand why Baishi City is so neat and clean."
Gao Dali also came to his senses. No wonder the streets were so clean when he went to Baishi City. There must have been such civilized law enforcement officers.
Next to him, Chen Jiande looked shocked when he heard this. Hearing the meaning of these words, His Majesty had clearly been to Baishi City, otherwise how would he know how neat and clean the streets of Baishi City were.
It turns out that during the two days when he disappeared, His Majesty ran away to Baishi City.
No wonder His Majesty also knows about the threats of brothels taking pictures.
Wait, could it be that His Majesty was also dragged to a brothel to take pictures and threatened?
Chen Jiande suddenly thought of this and was shocked and horrified. He didn't dare to look at Emperor Qianwu at all and wanted to slap himself. Why did he need to know such a thing.
Obviously, Emperor Qianwu and Gao Dali also understood that they had said something wrong. There was no need for Emperor Qianwu to speak. Gao Dali naturally understood. He bowed his head and whispered in Chen Jiande's ear: "Master Chen, your majesty does not want anyone to know that he has been to Baishi City. Do you understand?"
Chen Jiande quickly kowtowed: "I don't know anything about this, so please forgive me."
It concerns His Majesty's reputation. If word spreads, it will be a serious crime that will kill people.
Emperor Qianwu waved his sleeves and said calmly: "It's best if you don't know, and I don't want anyone else to know. If I find out, and someone else knows that I went to such places in Baishi City, I will punish you and the nine tribes ."
"Wei Chen will never dare to tell anyone." Chen Jiande hurriedly promised. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but ask: "What if it was spread by His Highness?"
"Then your nine tribes will also be killed." Emperor Qianwu snorted coldly.
