The accompanying eunuch handed over paper and pen.
Li Er waved his hand and wrote sixteen big characters!
The font is vigorous and powerful, and its bones are extremely upright!
"deliver an imperial order."
He looked at Fang Xuanling and ordered,
"Order the government offices of the provinces, prefectures, and counties to copy the copy, erect plaques and monuments, and place them outside the government offices for all the people in the world to see!"
"According to the order." Fang Xuanling lowered his head slightly, obeyed the order happily, and said seriously, "These sixteen words of Young Master, even the ministers are deeply shocked. Now that your Majesty has sent it to the world in his own hand, it will definitely sweep away the shortcomings of the previous dynasty. Let's The people of the world should be alert and keep the court atmosphere clean and upright!"
Although Fang Xuanling believed that he was an honest official, he felt a little ashamed when he heard these sixteen words.
Integrity should be the basic element of being an official, and it is definitely not a character worth bragging about!
Now, with these sixteen words, the bad old habits from top to bottom will be wiped away!
As for the so-called previous dynasty, whether it was the Sui Dynasty or the Wude Dynasty...
Different people have different opinions.
"Yep."
Li Shimin stroked his palm and said,
"What I want is for my subjects to be alert and have a clean and upright atmosphere!"
"Not only the subjects must be vigilant, but I must also be vigilant at all times! How much of my current food and clothing expenses do not come from the people's fat and the people's anointing?"
"As the young master said, if you take all the baht and use it like sand to brutally abuse the people, then it is reasonable for the people to rise up and overthrow the tyrant!"
"The king is the boat, and the people are the water... Water can carry the boat, but it can also capsize it!"
When the ministers heard this, their faces showed surprise.
Good guy, there are so many golden sayings from Mr. Xu!
Now, the emperor was inspired and encouraged, and even broke out a classic saying that has been circulated for a long time!
"Quick, quick!"
"Write it down! Write down your Majesty's words!"
Changsun Wuji urged the living man beside him,
"Yes, yes, I'm remembering it!"
Liang Lang had a ferocious expression on his face and started writing frantically. The brush in his hand was almost dry and smoking!
Every word spoken by the emperor and the prince's young master today is absolutely necessary to be recorded!
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
Xu Fenglei smiled, cupped his hands and said.
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
The ministers also praised him from the bottom of their hearts.
This flattery is so sincere.
"Ada..."
The peasant girl came close to her father and whispered,
"Who are they? What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
The old farmer squatted on the ground and thought for a long time. Under his daughter's expectant eyes, he choked out a few words:
"do not know……"
"It's probably a title for a noble person. Look at all those people worshiping him. He must be the leader among them!"
"Girl, you have to be careful and don't rush into the noble man rashly. He is kind to us..."
The girl nodded confusedly.
Although it was very close to the imperial city, the old farmer had only been to Chang'an once or twice in his life, let alone had any experience.
Of course he knew that there was an emperor sitting in Chang'an City, but that seemed to be an extremely distant existence. How could he have imagined that the old emperor, who was called "Your Majesty" by everyone, would have a cordial exchange with him...
"Old man."
Li Shimin walked directly to the old farmer and said with a smile,
"Can I ask you something?"
The old farmer looked panicked and hurriedly waved his hands and said:
"What are you saying, noble man? If you have anything to say, if the old man can help me, I will definitely do it!"
If you take advantage of others, of course you have to help! This is the basic quality of every honest farmer!
"Hahaha, it's actually nothing. It's just that our team should not be able to sit in Chang'an City and not know the grain."
Li Shimin smiled and said,
"Since there is a good harvest today, how about we help you harvest the wheat?"
"We have a word in advance. If someone clumsily damages your wheat and ruins the harvest, we will compensate you according to the market price, and we will never lose money to you!"
"Okay?!"
The old farmer's eyes widened: "Huh?"
"You, you..."
He said blankly,
"You guys want to help the old man work? Why, how does this make..."
He can't understand the thinking of these "noble people" in front of him——
Like that big fool in the village who likes to work for free?
Xu Fenglei raised his legs and stepped forward. Heiran said:
"Old man, just think that we are full and have no place to do anything. We have nothing to do and just come to your place to have fun."
"If you cut it well, the harvest will be yours; if it's damaged, we'll pay you according to the price! It's that simple!"
"Just tell me whether to do it or not!"
After hearing these down-to-earth words, the old farmer suddenly understood and smiled.
"Oh, oh, the old man understands, the nobles are here to have fun!"
He nodded repeatedly and smiled,
"Okay, okay, you can cut this wheat as you like, it won't be damaged!"
"This thing is very hard. Even after it is cut, we still have to grind, press and beat it hard to break the wheat!"
"Thank you for your hard work, noble people..."
This city man is really good at playing, and he comes here to work for free when he has nothing to do!
It's not bad. It's a bit laborious to harvest his few acres of thin fields by himself. Now that he has this group of free laborers, he doesn't have to worry about harvesting.
"Okay, then it's settled."
Xu Fenglei responded, waving behind him and saying,
"Chengqian, Qingque, you two go get the sickles, and then come over."
The children were very excited and took the sickle straw hats and hemp straw sandals that had been prepared from the carriage. After dressing neatly, they ran to Xu Fenglei.
"Let's go, one person at a time, to cut the wheat!"
Xu Fenglei waved his hand and said,
"Whoever cuts the fastest and best will get the best score in the assessment and have the chance to become this year's top five students!"
Hearing the words "Five Good Students", the boys Li Chengqian and Li Ke rushed into the wheat field frantically and started chopping like melons and vegetables.
"Ahhh! Chop chop chop!"
"Hey!"
Li Lizhi held a small sickle in her hand and swung it at the wheat stalks in front of her that were taller than her, making Changsun Wugou tremble with fear.
"Ouch, don't hurt yourself! Hello, my little ancestor!"
She said with a worried look on her face, fearing that if Li Lizhi was unstable, she would be stabbed.
"Listen, what do you mean by five good boys?"
Li Shimin asked curiously,
"Which ones are the best?"
Xu Fenglei smiled and put on his straw hat.
"The so-called five good things are morality, intelligence, body, beauty, and labor!"
He explained,
"A true good boy and good student should not focus on one subject, but should develop in an all-round way. He must have these five qualities, namely good moral character, superb intelligence, strong body, good aesthetics, and love of labor!"
"This harvest can be used to evaluate physical and mental performance. It is an important criterion for me to evaluate the top five students."
"...Stop talking, I'll follow you too!"
Having said that, Xu Fenglei had already chosen his own "track" and started to cut the wheat.
"That's it, what a beauty! Such a comprehensive development!"
Li Shimin nodded in agreement and praised,
"I hope all my descendants can have these five virtues!"
"Come on, get my sickle!"
With an order, the eunuch handed over a sharp sickle.
He looked around, quickly took the sickle, and walked towards the wheat field.
When the ministers saw this, they consciously took the sickle and walked into the wheat field.
On this day, the emperor led his ministers to cut wheat in person to encourage farmers all over the world to work hard and harvest!
