"I've been here for a while." Lao Zhu smiled coldly and didn't look good on Han Du. He walked straight to the table and sat down. Han Du and Zhu Biao were so frightened that they quickly got up from their stools.
When he saw the two of them, he was about to salute, but was stopped by Lao Zhu with a wave of his hand, "Forget it."
Then he looked at Han Du and said, "Continue, I also want to know what good ideas you have."
Han Du glanced at Zhu Biao complainingly, but now was not the time to argue with him. Seeing Lao Zhu asking a question, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "I think the imperial court should build official residences for officials."
"Building official residences for officials?" Lao Zhu immediately snorted when he heard this, and asked sharply: "Do you know how much it will cost?"
Lao Zhu's expression was full of disdain. Lao Zhu didn't bother to do this kind of thing where there is no benefit to spending money.
Han Du smiled and explained: "Your Majesty, I am not saying that the imperial court will build them a big house of three to five square meters, as long as there is a place for them to stay. Your Majesty, due to the characteristics of cement, it is not enough to build a house for them. It couldn't be a simpler matter. Besides, it's not without its benefits. If the emperor can promise that they will be diligent and not greedy for ten or twenty years, he will give them the house. I think this will further reduce their greed. possible."
After hearing this, Lao Zhu couldn't help but be surprised by Han Du's idea. He didn't expect that Han Du's operation would suddenly become so arrogant. After pondering for a while, Lao Zhu asked: "What do you mean, you won't give them the house yet, but just let them live in it first, and then give it to them twenty years later?"
Han Du smiled and nodded.
Lao Zhu couldn't help but admire Han Du's idea. It was indeed a way to get the best of both worlds, and it was very likely to work. Zhu Biao didn't understand the living conditions of the lower-level Beijing officials, but Lao Zhu did. Lao Zhu compared it and felt that none of them could refuse this temptation. You must know that once they own real estate in the capital, they will not be able to return to their hometown when they grow old, and they can stay in the capital.
Let me ask, with the prosperity of the capital, who would be willing to leave unless it was absolutely necessary? Therefore, those officials did not need to push them for their only hope of staying in the capital.

They will also try their best to get the house.
Seeing that Lao Zhu was a little moved, Han Du said more vigorously: "Your Majesty, I think that treating corrupt ink is like controlling water. Thousands of years ago, Dayu told the world with practical actions that the way to control water is to block it rather than sparse it. The same is true for treating corrupt ink. .”
It's not that Lao Zhu doesn't understand the truth, it's just that he was blinded by his hatred of corrupt officials in the past. Now that Han Du has awakened, most officials are also ordinary people and his people. In this case, blindly applying strict laws and torture is indeed not as effective as differentiation and dredging.
"You mean cement can be used to build houses?" Now that Lao Zhu agreed, he naturally thought of building official residences for officials.
"certainly."
"How cheap is it?" What Lao Zhu is most concerned about is the amount of money spent. After all, he is not willing to pay if the price is too high.
Han Du thought for a moment and asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, is cement cheap?"
"Of course cement is cheap," Lao Zhu said, "but bricks, stones and wood are not cheap. When Hu Weiyong built the city, I inspected it and one brick cost a hundred cents."
Han Du explained: "The emperor's construction of a city wall is different from building a house. The purpose of building a city wall is to be eternal, so the bricks used are all the best large blue bricks, and the price is naturally high. But building a house does not have to be so good. Bricks are also fine. I have a way to make red bricks, which can be made with the most common clay, and it is simple and easy. The most important thing is that it is cheap enough. If fired in large quantities, a brick will only cost a penny. It looks like this. The house that was built like this will have no problem standing upright for a hundred years."
"Only a hundred years?" Lao Zhu suddenly became a little dissatisfied and said, "When I build the main hall, I want it to last for thousands of years and not fall down."
Han Du smiled and shook his head and explained: "Your Majesty, I have said that how can a common people's home dare to be compared with the royal family? When the emperor built the main hall, he used golden nanmu that has not decayed for thousands of years. But when ordinary people's homes build houses, there are several Can golden nanmu be used? It's not just ordinary wood. Such wood can't withstand the gnawing of insects and ants, so it can last for more than a hundred years. The kind that Hechen said is not that big. the difference."
"

Besides, a hundred years have passed. If it were a family, it would last for five generations. There are not many ordinary people's homes that can last for five generations. Besides, even if the house collapses a hundred years later, it can still be postponed to be rebuilt again. "
Lao Zhu pondered for a moment and couldn't help but nodded, and did not refute Han Du again.
But after a moment, Lao Zhu suddenly sneered and said: "From the beginning to the end, you have been speaking for the officials, saying how to treat them well. But I ask you, what should you do with those who are greedy for ink?"
"Of course we must be severely punished to serve as a warning to others." Han Du said without hesitation. Since those who dare to spread their hands and be greedy under the subsidy of money to support integrity, then they are really stubborn. If we don’t kill this kind of people immediately, why should we keep them for the New Year?
The warm and angry look on Lao Zhu's face subsided a little. After pondering for a while, he said in a solemn tone: "I was shocked by Guo Huan's incident. I didn't expect that there were so many officials in the world who would secretly communicate with each other. , united to deceive me. I decided to build a Jinyi personal army to monitor the world and set the record straight."
Zhu Biao didn't have any feelings after hearing this, and thought his father's method was good. What happened to Guo Huan, coupled with the concealment of the drought in Henan, wasn't it because the officials below joined forces to deceive the court and deceive the emperor? In this case, with the Jinyi pro-army's overt inspection and secret visits, even if the officials below unite to deceive, the court will be able to get the news in time. No matter what Zhu Biao thinks, this is a good thing.
But Han Du listened to Lao Zhu's words, but his feeling was completely different from Zhu Biao's. Jin Yiqinjun, isn't this Jin Yiwei? Thinking of Jin Yiwei, Han Du couldn't help but think of the shocking scenes of Tiqi everywhere, and couldn't help but secretly swallow his saliva. Although I have never seen this kind of scene with my own eyes, I have seen it too much in movies and TV.
And Han Du has always suspected that Lao Zhu has a secret power, but it is completely different to put it secretly and to put it openly. As for Lao Zhu's secret power, since Lao Zhu did not put them on the bright side, even if these people wanted to do something, they would not dare to expose their identities, let alone act in the name of the emperor. .
