Seeing this, Wei Zheng was really shocked. He never expected that His Highness the King of Shu would actually donate the money, two million dollars! What is this concept? His Highness the King of Shu actually took it out without blinking an eye!
The Zheng family in Xingyang had evil intentions in giving money before. Wei Zheng and the other ministers could naturally see it, but it was hard for everyone to remind them, because the money was given to Li Ke reluctantly, and Li Ke took the money too happily, so everyone naturally There's no way to tell, but now...it turns out that His Highness the King of Shu has already seen through the other party's plan.
In other words, the other party's purpose is actually not very obscure. What they are betting on is a person's greed! How many young princes of Li Ke's age can refuse two million yuan? ! Wei Zheng thought about it. To be honest, he didn't expect anything. Even Li Chengqian probably couldn't refuse.
Wei Zheng continued to read, "... Although two million strings are huge, they are nothing compared to the entire Chang'an City. Although these two million strings are not enough to transform all the facilities in the entire Chang'an City, all the facilities If there is any shortage of funds, my highness will shoulder the responsibility."
"As for why Your Highness wants to build public toilets in various areas, the next popular science article on epidemic prevention will tell you the reasons. The Tang Dynasty is now a prosperous age when all nations come to court, and Chang'an is the capital of the Tang Dynasty. We, the people of Chang'an, They are the people of the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and they are the face of the Tang Dynasty."
"I heard that in the capitals of Dashi and several other countries in the West, feces and urine were flowing on the streets, and the whole country was stinking. Therefore, many scholars and nobles from Dashi and other places came to the Tang Dynasty to see our prosperous Chang'an! With me The people of the Tang Dynasty could not be the same as the Western barbarians, with feces and urine everywhere."
"Those who occasionally make mistakes, I hope they can set an example and correct themselves, so that the Western barbarians can see the moral character of the people of our prosperous Tang Dynasty and the prosperous Chang'an. Today, I will encourage you!"
Good guy, after reading this, Wei Zheng was filled with admiration. His Highness the King of Shu is indeed the one who single-handedly defeated all the ministers in the court. This eloquence is indeed the result of years of quibbling with His Majesty. This news is expected to come after today It will spread throughout Chang'an City in an instant.
These words may seem ordinary, but they imply a method of motivating generals, and this method of motivating generals is quite in line with the hearts of the people of Chang'an. Wei Zheng can guess it without even looking at it. After today, Chang'an's health will definitely improve greatly!
Tsk tsk, think about the last time people gathered in Zhuque Square. Fortunately, His Highness the King of Shu did not go there. If His Highness the King of Shu had been there to confuse the people, His Majesty would probably have to behead those courtiers on the spot to make the people angry!
Wei Zheng couldn't help but praise him, "His Royal Highness the King of Shu, you are an expert!" He is indeed the man who invented the newspaper! It seems that there should be no problem in restoring the "Datang Weekly" to its former glory, because these contents are closely related to the people.
Wei Zheng looked at the third article, titled "Popular Science on Epidemics", which described in the simplest and most straightforward terms why people get sick. Disease enters through the mouth, and if the food you eat is unclean, you will easily get sick.
The things that are most likely to cause pollution are important locations such as water sources. For example, human feces can easily contaminate water sources if disposed of casually. If one person gets sick, it will infect everyone. The establishment of public latrines is to prevent people from leaving the water everywhere without time. Big and small solution.
After reading this, Wei Zheng couldn't help but nodded. Many people didn't understand, but after reading this article, everyone understood it and would definitely pay attention to some daily behaviors. It's just that His Highness the King of Shu's words are too big. Can he stand it? All the streets in Chang'an City need to be renovated, public huts must be built, and people can be hired to take care of them on a daily basis. Doesn't this all require money?
Two million dollars is definitely not enough, especially His Highness the King of Shu also said that the drainage system of Chang'an City will be dredged, which will cost a lot of money. Since His Majesty agrees, it is definitely not to recruit corvees, but to hire people. If you work and hire people, the funds spent on manpower alone are not a small amount.
But there’s nothing to be afraid of. Even if you can’t finish the cultivation by then, if you can cultivate as much as you can, you will still have accomplished it! This is a good thing for the country and the people! And if you can't finish this kind of thing, it won't affect the reputation of His Highness the King of Shu!
It's just... tsk tsk, the reputation of the aristocratic family is probably bad again. No one expected that His Highness the King of Shu would say this directly in vernacular!
Changsun Wuji had already gotten the newspaper. After reading it, his whole face turned dark. He had miscalculated again! He was already ready to terminate his engagement with Changle, but he never expected that Li Ke would not be fooled at all and actually donated all the money!
The point is... you are so shameless. When you collected money, you took it very happily. Now, it's better. You cursed people very happily!
After his face darkened, Changsun Wuji sneered again, Li Ke, Li Ke, I admit that you are very smart, but aren't you trying to make a fool of yourself by pretending to be fat? Renovate the entire Chang'an City, right? Let me see how much money you have to make! Is two million dollars a lot? If you compare it with renovating the entire city of Chang'an, that's too little.
You still haven’t forgotten the bet you made with my eldest grandson’s family a year later, right? I'll see how you can lose face when the time comes.
Faced with such a situation, both Changsun Wuji and these aristocratic families have understood that their strategy is useless, because Li Ke's move is too harsh. If millions of people hit it, there must be no sound, let alone Li Ke’s reputation is already good? !
What they predicted was right. Thanks to the guidance of Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng and other commentators, the first issue of "Datang Weekly" once again printed 50,000 copies and was sold out in one morning! And Li Ke's announcement instantly caused a huge sensation among the people!
"These aristocratic families are really evil! They even used this method to frame His Highness the King of Shu! But His Highness the King of Shu is still clever!"
"That's right, His Highness the King of Shu, although his character is a bit reckless, is not a fool. He led us people in Chang'an City to accept it. That's a good idea! Many roads in Chang'an really need to be repaired!"
"His Royal Highness the King of Shu is indeed on the side of our people. I want to erect an immortal tablet for His Highness the King of Shu. By the way, did you read what His Highness the King of Shu said about hygiene? Who dares to defecate anywhere in the future? Hit each one you see."
"That's right, people often poop in our alley. If they find someone pooping, they'll beat each one!"
"His Royal Highness the King of Shu is right. We are the people of Chang'an City, and we are more polite than people in other places! Those Western barbarians are really barbaric. There is actually shit and urine everywhere in the capital. It's disgusting to think about it!"
Li Ke's two articles caused a huge response in Chang'an City, and many people cheered Li Ke's name.
Li Ke naturally had a premonition about such a result. Now his reputation is very high. Compared with this, the little secrets of the aristocratic family are not worth mentioning at all.
At this moment, all over Chang'an City, five battalions of soldiers were shouting and cursing!
"You are all a bunch of scum! You used to live like rubbish! Although you are better now, you are not much better! If it weren't for His Highness the King of Shu, would you be here today?! Stand up for me! Stand up straight Now! Let’s see who dares to move!”
"Now remember everything I told you. In the entire Chang'an City, within the territory we are responsible for, anyone over the age of thirteen who dares to urinate and defecate casually if you see anyone, show your true colors, Give me a beating, do you understand?! But be careful not to injure anyone! Do you understand!" These soldiers scolded fiercely.
"If I find one case, I will run for ten miles! I find two cases of running for ten miles with a weight of 20 kilograms! By analogy, I am not afraid of exhausting you to death, understand!"
"No!" All the local snakes gritted their teeth and responded loudly in unison! While talking, they stood straight at attention!
