Chapter eight hundred and sixty fifth recommendation
Good nights are short.
Early the next morning, when Du He crawled out of bed, it was already bright.
Li Yuanshu and Li Lizhi had been tossing all night, but they still hadn't woken up.
Du He dressed neatly and secretly left the house. He carried his robe and tiptoed out, preparing to sneak out of Princess Runan's mansion through the back door.
"Ahem..."
At this moment, there was a coughing sound next to him.
Du He said angrily: "Who dares to scare me? Do you believe that I will break your legs and send you to the Lantian Coal Mine to dig coal?"
As he spoke, Du He turned around and was stunned as soon as he turned halfway.
I saw Li Er standing there with a black look on his face.
Du He's expression changed and he said hurriedly: "Father, someone coughed just now. It's probably an assassin. Help... help!"
He shouted at the top of his lungs, and then prepared to sneak away in the chaos.
Unexpectedly, Li Er immediately blocked his way: "Du He, do you think I am a tiger? Do you want to leave like this?"
Du He chuckled and asked, "Father, when did you arrive?"
"Before dawn, I went to Princess Changle's Mansion. When I learned that you were at Princess Runan's Mansion, I rushed over. Two hours have passed..." Li Er felt like vomiting blood.
Li Er felt like an old farmer who had worked hard to plant a field of food and was about to harvest it. Then a wild boar came and took them all away... Du He was this annoying beast.
Wild boar!
Du He felt embarrassed for a while.
It was a bit embarrassing that he slept with Li Er's two daughters and was caught.
Li Er said: "Okay, Du He, you can come with me!"
With that said, Li Er turned around and walked out, followed by Du He.
The two of them left from the back door of Runan Princess Mansion and walked some distance forward to the broad People's Avenue.
This People's Avenue has become a landmark building in Chang'an City. Many outsiders and even foreigners come to Chang'an to admire the style of this road.
The sidewalks and carriage paths are completely separated, and everyone walks on the right side. They are separated by markings in the middle. At each intersection, there are people wearing blue shorts directing the carriages and horses to walk. Everything is in order... even if there are a lot of carriages and horses on the People's Avenue.
Pedestrians are always crowded here, but there is no trouble. This is called one of the wonders of Chang'an City.
When Li Er saw it, he couldn't help but sigh: "It would be great if the whole of Chang'an, and even all the cities in the world, built such avenues!"
Of course, he was just thinking about it.
The construction cost of the People's Avenue is really ridiculously high. One road costs hundreds of thousands of dollars.
To build the entire city of Chang'an like this, I'm afraid it would cost tens of millions of dollars. Even the annual taxes of the Tang Dynasty would not be enough.
Du Hehun didn't care and said: "Father, the construction cost of People's Avenue is high because of backward technology and materials. If Dream Group can make low-cost cement that can be mass-produced, all of this can be easily solved. In the future,
The city wall is made of cement, as strong as steel, and the roads are made of cement. A People's Avenue can be built in one day, and the cost will not be more than one-tenth of the current cost. Houses can also be built of cement, which is not only faster, but also more beautiful.
, it’s no problem to build more than thirty floors at a time!”
Du He was serious about what he said, but to Li Er, it was nothing more than fantasy.
He waved his hand and said with a smile: "Let's talk about it later!"
Du He knew that Li Er couldn't understand, so he couldn't say more.
At this time, Li Er said as he walked: "Do you know why I am so eager to find you today?"
Du He thought for a while, scratched his head and said, "Could it be that my father wants to see how well I and the two princesses are doing?"
Li Er's face suddenly darkened.
This is really a pot that cannot be opened!
"It's okay not to mention this matter!"
Li Er didn't want to mention this matter again.
After a long while, he said again: "I am looking for you because of the candidate for the county magistrate of Hu County. Now, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty have recommended suitable candidates to serve as the county magistrate of Hu County. They have even argued endlessly about this matter. I am in a dilemma.
Ah, so, I want to ask your opinion!"
Du He said seriously: "Father, I have something to ask you."
"explain!"
"May I ask my father, do you want Hu County to continue to prosper, or do you want to destroy it?" Du He asked.
Li Eryi frowned: "How do you say this?"
Du He patiently explained: "Father, if you want to destroy the current Hu County, it will not be difficult to get there. Just send any person, especially those officials who are famous and have read the books of sages, and let such people go to Hu County."
, in less than half a year, everything in Hu County can be destroyed. By then, Hu County will be no different from the past, and no different from other counties... And if the father wants to keep Hu County, he wants Hu County to be destroyed.
If you take an unusual path, then you will have to carefully consider the choice of county magistrate."
Li Er carefully tasted Du He's words and found them very reasonable.
His frown deepened: "Do you think all my officials are so useless?"
Du He smiled: "Father, I have no grudges against the officials in the court, and there is no need to slander them... It's just that these officials, in their behavior and behavior, all seem to be carved out of the same mold. Let them go to Hu County
, it is no different from going to Lantian or Xianyang. What we did was nothing more than what the sage said... However, my father should know that Huxian is taking an unprecedented path. I agree.
The common people will be exempted from all taxes related to farming within two years. From now on, Hu County’s taxes will all depend on commerce... With all this, do the officials in the DPRK and China have supporters?"
No!
Even if Du He is not in court now, he still knows that all the policies implemented by the DPRK towards Hu County are opposed to them.
Li Er was silent for a while and asked: "If I want you to recommend someone to be the magistrate of Hu County, do you have a suitable candidate?"
Du He said a name without hesitation: "Father, in this world, there is no one more suitable to be the magistrate of Hu County than this person!"
Li was very surprised when he heard the name.
He nodded: "I understand. I will consider this matter carefully."
Du He was granted amnesty: "Father, if nothing happens, will you please retire temporarily?"
"Um!"
Du He turned around and disappeared in a flash.
Li Er waved his hand, and Zhao Yang, who had been waiting not far away, ran over in small steps and hurriedly praised: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, your consort is really a dragon and a phoenix among men, a genius that has never been seen in ancient times!"
Zhao Yang saw that Li Er was having a pleasant conversation with Du He just now, and knew that His Majesty was very satisfied with Du He, so he quickly flattered him.
Who knows, he didn't finish his sentence.
Snapped.
Li Er picked up his palm and slapped him.
"Hmph, trash... go to the palace and mobilize people to look after Princess Runan's Mansion and Princess Changle's Mansion. You can't let Du He sleep with the two princesses again, otherwise, I won't be able to spare you!" Li Er
