After hearing this, Li Er couldn't help but ask: "Since ancient times, the wish of emperors throughout the ages has been to make the people rich. The people's wealth is nothing more than to satisfy their appetites and physical needs. In this way, what's wrong with the people of the world being rich?
What is salted fish and not salted fish? What is a dream?"
Du He turned his chopsticks over, dipped them in some water, and placed some on the table.
Then he pointed at the water drop and said: "Your Majesty, the needs and knowledge of the people are only this little at the beginning. He can see that the things he can contact are very limited. Maybe they just have enough food and clothing, and an earthen house to protect them from the wind and rain.
,but……"
Wow.
Du He picked up his chopsticks, dipped them in water and made a fist-sized fist, and continued: "When he has so many things, he will have access to a vast world, and his way of thinking will also change dramatically, and his vision will change dramatically.
The demand and needs are no longer the same as before... If the people have enough food and clothing, this should be only the first step, which can be regarded as a basic well-off society, and the second step is a comprehensive well-off society."
Li Er nodded in agreement: "I have heard a little bit about Xiaokang, but what about this comprehensive Xiaokang?"
Du He smiled and said: "A well-off life is not invented by me. It comes from the "Book of Rites". "Liyun Chapter" says: Now that the great road is hidden, the world is home. Everyone has relatives, each has his own son, and the goods and resources are
Ji. When you are in the world, you should consider etiquette, and the city walls, ditches, and ponds should be considered solid. Proper etiquette and righteousness should be used to discipline the king and ministers, to respect fathers and sons, to harmonize brothers, to harmonize couples, to establish systems, to establish fields... This is called a well-off society."
Du He recited this article in one breath, and Li Er was stunned.
Li Eryi banged the table and shouted: "Okay, Du He, Du He, they all say that you are the most talented person in the Tang Dynasty, and you are indeed well-deserved, hahaha... I am very relieved by this statement of a well-off man, you are right.
, if the people are only fed and clothed, how are they any different from animals? The civil and military ministers of the DPRK still know how to be enterprising and do their best for me and the Tang Dynasty, and never think about idleness all day long. For this reason, they are basically well-off
, To achieve a moderately prosperous life in all respects, it seems that I still have a lot to do in this life, and the road ahead will be long and difficult."
Du He nodded: "Today, the Tang Dynasty is only in a stable and prosperous age. There is still a long way to go before it is basically well-off. It is still far away from being comprehensively well-off. Once it reaches the stage of comprehensive well-off, it will be the stage when the country is prosperous and the people are strong.
.”
Later generations are full of longing for the prosperous age of Zhenguan, but after Du He arrived, they could truly feel that this era was only better than other civilizations of the same era, and the lives of the people were not necessarily any easier. Many villages and fields
The people still lived in a very miserable state.
After Du He finished speaking, he looked up and saw Li Er staring at him without blinking, with a smile on his lips.
Du He quickly put down his chopsticks and said, "Your Majesty, isn't it? Are you trying to trick me again?"
Li Er nodded without hesitation: "You are the uncle of Yi County and my good son-in-law. Why can't you serve me? Du He, Du He, sometimes I really can't see through you. I heard that your furniture factory
He and Datang Study House can now earn more than 100,000 yuan a day. What is the use of such a large amount of money?"
Du He chuckled and said: "Your Majesty, you don't understand the joy of making money... As an emperor, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shores of the land are not the king's ministers. The whole world belongs to you, of course you don't
I'm short of money, but I'm different. I'm just a courtier. I want to make money to support my family. Besides, everyone only sees the furniture factory making money every day, but they don't expect that the expenses of the furniture factory are also extremely huge. Now the study and
There are 200 workers in the furniture factory, and the daily wages alone are more than 3,000 yuan, and there is also food. The daily food standard for each person in the furniture factory canteen is 2 cents..."
Du He raised his fingers and listed a bunch of places that needed to spend money, which made the majestic emperor Li Er stunned.
Li Er asked in confusion: "I heard Lang Ji mention that the food in the canteen of your furniture factory is better than that of the Forbidden Army. They are all a bunch of craftsmen who do brute force. Why do they have such good food?"
Du He shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, there are not all strong men in the furniture factory. They are all skilled craftsmen that I have carefully selected. If nothing else, if those people are put outside, all the governments will definitely compete for them.
A few days ago, Mr. Changsun sent someone to the furniture factory to poach my craftsmen, offering him 20 Wen per day."
"How many people were poached?" Li Er asked curiously.
"Didn't find any."
"Why?"
Du He smiled slightly and explained: "Because the craftsmen know that no matter whether they go to Sikong Mansion or wherever they go, they will not be treated like a furniture factory. It is hard to say whether they can get the 20 coins from Sikong Mansion, but
The workers in the furniture factory have signed a contract with me in black and white. Besides, I have the best production line in the world and the most advanced design in the world... If the craftsmen follow me, they will have no problem getting popular.
If you leave, you will never return to the furniture factory!"
Li Ershen nodded in agreement and thought in shock, is this really a fifteen or sixteen year old boy? Why does he feel like a scheming old fox?
The monarch and his ministers started discussing in the pavilion.
As for looking at the moon, look at the hammer moon.
Afterwards, the two of them went to the imperial study room.
Zhao Yang and others who were standing outside heard intermittent quarrels.
An hour later.
In the imperial study room, Li Er was sitting on a revolving wooden chair, while Du He was leaning on the chair opposite.
The two of them stared at each other with wide eyes and refused to give in.
After a while, Li Er was defeated first.
Even though he was old and still a majestic emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he actually got into an argument with a young man and his face turned red. It was a bit embarrassing to tell him.
Just now, the theme of the argument between the two was that Li Er wanted Du He to join the court as an official and take charge of all the major and minor affairs of this work-for-relief program.
However, Du He refused to agree to anything and could not convince anyone.
Li Er asked across the table: "Do you have any cigarettes?"
Du He waved his hand: "No, I finished smoking it long ago."
"I can promise you that I won't let you serve as an official in the court. However, you came up with this method of providing relief through work. You must be responsible for it. Looking at the civil and military forces of the court, there is no one more suitable than you. How many people do you have?"
How to resettle tens of thousands of disaster victims is no small matter." Li Er said earnestly.
Du He nodded: "Okay, I agree. However, I have three conditions."
"explain!"
"I want money, a lot of money. Of course I don't want it for myself. If I want to build a huge project to accommodate tens of thousands of victims, the money required is by no means a small amount. It may drain the Tang Dynasty treasury." Du He
He said with a solemn expression.
Li Er nodded: "Of course I know, you have already written it clearly in the book. I can give you any amount of money you need, but it must be used for the right purpose, and my treasury cannot withstand the consumption."
Ah, everything is based on the principle of simplicity."
Du He continued: "I want people. Please allow me to mobilize a large number of people, including officials from the DPRK and China. In addition, I also need a forbidden army. Fifty people will be enough. The forbidden army will remove obstacles for me. Finally,
Nothing better."
Li Er did not hesitate: "Okay, I will give you Shang Fang's sword, so you can do it easily. I will also send Lang Ji to assist you and allocate fifty people to the forbidden army to obey your orders."
Du He stretched out his third finger: "The third condition is that I want your Majesty's trust."
"oh?"
Li Er was stunned and became curious for a moment.
Du He said: "During the Warring States Period, Li Mu was the general of the Zhao State and was stationed at the border. The taxes from the military market were used to reward the soldiers without interference from the King of Zhao. Therefore, the Zhao State army was invincible and invincible.
The country became a hegemon. But later, King Zhao did not trust his generals, but listened to the villain's slander and killed Li Mu. The situation of Zhao State deteriorated day by day, and the country eventually fell."
After a pause, Du He continued: "The work-for-relief policy is of great importance. At that time, all kinds of rumors will inevitably reach your Majesty's ears. If your Majesty does not trust me, there is no need to let me rule now."
Take on work-for-relief projects.”
Hearing this, Li Er pointed at Du He and burst out laughing: "Hahaha... Du He, Du He, let me tell you what you like, okay, I promise you, no matter what happens in the future, no matter what outsiders say, I will
They will give you full trust.”
"good!"
The two looked at each other and smiled.
…
In the morning of this day.
After all the ministers had arrived, what surprised everyone was that Du He, who had no official position as a county magistrate, actually stood side by side with Cheng Yaojin and others.
I saw Zhao Yang taking out the edict and reading out: "Heaven is ruthless. A drought occurred and a large number of people were displaced. They could not be resettled in Chang'an. Fortunately, Bo Duhe of Yi County used the work-for-relief method to resettle a large number of victims.
We can also take this opportunity to contribute to the Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty has discussed with the three provinces of Zhongshu, Menxia and Shangshu and decided to appoint Bo Duhe of Yi County as the Shaoqing of the Linfu Supervisor to take charge of the relief work.
All ministries and officials in the DPRK must try their best to cooperate with the county magistrate in all matters, large and small, otherwise, I will never be lenient..."
Everyone was a little unable to react.
Du He suddenly changed his identity and became the Shaoqing of Linfu?
Even if this temporary prison will be automatically eliminated later, he is still an official of the Central Government.
Moreover, this work-for-relief matter is of great importance and involves a lot. Normally, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others should be in charge of it. Your Majesty actually asked Du He to take charge of it personally?
Li Er only discussed this matter with a few people including Fang Xuanling, and the others had no way of knowing the news.
In the imperial study that day, Changsun Wuji was firmly opposed, but Du He only said: "Master Changsun, please be patient. After the project starts, all materials will be given priority to the Changsun family!" Changsun Wuji knew what was going on.
Unable to stop it, he agreed.
Li Er heard the whispers below and said: "Come here, I will give Du He Shang Fang's sword. If you see Shang Fang's sword, if I come in person, everyone must cooperate closely with Du He to solve the resettlement of the victims as soon as possible.
If anyone disobeys the will, Du He has the right to kill him first and then report him."
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked.
Du He's power has actually reached this point?
Everyone looked at Wei Zheng.
But he saw Wei Zheng stroking his beard and standing aside, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
During this time, Du He was still busy sorting out the various shortcomings of the Tang Dynasty's supervisory system and making improvements. He had no time to confront Du He.
So much so that the work-for-relief matter needed supervision, so he handed it over to his censor Ma Zhou, and told Ma Zhou to listen to Du He on all matters, and not to go against Du He, etc.
So far, no one has any objections.
…
Early the next morning.
It has just rained in Chang'an City, and the air is filled with the fragrance of earth.
At the original place of Cuiwei Building, a group of people suddenly appeared. These people were all young and strong men dressed in uniform.
Everyone turned around, took shovels, shovels and other tools from the carriage, walked into the Cuiwei Building, which collapsed into ruins, and began to work.
In a short time, all the garbage was cleared away, and the flat land was revealed.
The men took various materials from the carriage and began to build it.
In half a day's work, a large camp with a unique shape was built.
At a glance, the outside of the camp is entirely made of cloth, and is almost as tall as the original Cuiwei Tower.
Looking at the entrance, there are two forbidden soldiers guarding it.
There was a banner hanging above, which read: Relief for Work Headquarters.
A headquarters was established, but manpower was scarce.
Du He simply moved into the headquarters and mobilized Zhang Du and Yang Hao to help.
Everything seems to be starting from scratch.
Although Li Er promised Du He that he could draw people from civil and military officials at any time, Du He was unwilling to use others. He planned to take this opportunity to train another group of people.
Only then did Du He feel that there was a huge shortage of manpower around him.
By the afternoon, the temporary canteen behind the headquarters was set up. The chefs were transferred from the canteen of the furniture factory, and the style was similar to that of the furniture factory.
At the entrance of the cafeteria, fifty forbidden troops led by Li Junxian stood neatly and fully armed, creating a chilling atmosphere.
This was the imperial army assigned by Li Er to help Du He solve various obstacles in the process of providing relief through work, and also assigned Li Junxian, the lieutenant general who guarded the imperial city, to Du He personally.
Li Junxian said politely: "Uncle Yi County, these are the fifty forbidden troops that I led here. They are all masters. If you need anything in the future, just give me your orders."
Du He looked at the guys with eyes above their heads and said with a smile: "What orders can you give me? Your Majesty mobilized the Forbidden Army because he was worried that someone would cause trouble. Now that the Forbidden Army is here, let's see who has the courage to eat the bear's heart and the leopard's heart."
Come to the headquarters to cause trouble...Brothers, Du He would like to thank you all. From today on, the canteen will be open to everyone free of charge. Chicken, duck, fish and meat are all available, ensuring everyone's satisfaction."
When the Imperial Guards heard this, smiles suddenly appeared on their faces.
One by one, they rushed into the canteen eagerly and started to feast.
Li Junxian followed him dumbfounded.
At the door, Du He put his hands behind his back and looked at each of the forbidden soldiers.
Zhang Jianqiu appeared behind him silently.
Du He didn't look back and asked in a deep voice: "Have you found out?"
Zhang Jian whispered: "Master, we have found out that this batch of forbidden troops are all from Zuoyu Linwei. They are the same batch that guarded the palace gate when you and Dorazan competed."
Du He suddenly laughed: "Okay, interesting...very interesting, finally someone couldn't sit still."
As he said that, Du He's face darkened, and murderous intent suddenly appeared in his eyes.
