Seeing that everyone agreed, Li Ke smiled and walked directly into a house on the left. Seeing Li Ke's actions, many people in the village became a little excited.
A man following in the crowd was even more excited and his face instantly turned red.
"Whose house is this?" Li Ke asked as he walked inside.
"Your Majesty... Your Highness, this is my... my... my family." A man in his forties stuttered.
"It's okay, don't get excited, just say it nicely, I don't eat people." Li Ke said with a smile.
"Haha." The people around him laughed.
"May I have your name?"
"My name is Zhao San." The man didn't stutter this time.
"How many people are there in the family?" Li Ke asked as he walked.
"Six... no, five people." Zhao San said sheepishly, "We moved here with my son. He is now serving as a soldier in the Tang army in Qinghai. He is twenty-one this year. This The marriage has been agreed upon, the new house is ready to be built, and he will live alone."
"I have a son, a daughter and my father here."
Zhao San told everything in one breath.
"Good thing, this is a good thing. You have to tell your son that you can't bully other girls after you get married." Li Ke said with a smile.
"That...that can't be done."
While they were talking, everyone entered the courtyard of Zhao San's house. Zhao San's family members had already greeted them. There were two boys and a girl who had just been playing in the crowd. They looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old, and the other was about ten years old at most. .
At this moment, they were all standing next to their mother obediently. Zhao San's wife looked very old, and his father, who was already over sixty years old, could not even straighten his waist.
"Old minister, I have met His Highness and kowtow to His Highness." When Zhao San's father saw Li Ke, he knelt down in excitement.
"Hey, old man, please get up quickly." Li Ke quickly reached out and held his arm to help him up.
"Your Highness, I, the old man, have to kowtow this to you. You are our great saint." The old man was quite excited.
"Old man, you must not do this. We in the Tang Dynasty are not used to this. I originally wanted to come to your house to have a look. Aren't you driving me out?" Li Ke said helplessly.
Hearing what Li Ke said, Zhao San quickly supported his father and whispered quickly, "Aye, didn't I tell you that His Highness doesn't like this? Get up quickly."
"Hey, Your Highness, I... I just don't know how to express my gratitude." The old man could only stand up while being supported by Zhao San. It is estimated that if he didn't stand up, his son would be angry.
"Just put your thoughts into your heart. I already understand it. This is what I should do." Li Ke said with a smile.
"But Your Highness, you have done so much for ordinary people like us. We can only say thank you to Your Highness. We have no other way to help His Highness." The old man was somewhat stubborn, or... a little uneasy.
"No, that's the wrong thing to say." Li Ke shook his head, then looked at the people around him and said, "Do you think I've done so much for you, making you feel like pie in the sky?"
"No, let me tell you, these things are not obtained by me, but obtained by you yourself."
"It's not like you haven't done anything. Think about it, Zhao San, is your son a soldier? Zhao San, have you also been a soldier, or maybe even fought in a war?"
"From the founding of the Tang Dynasty to the present, we have sacrificed countless soldiers. Maybe many of your family members are among them. Even without your family members, maybe your relatives and friends have sacrificed their lives."
"How can it be said that you have done nothing? Without you people, how could there be today's stable Datang? Without today's stable Datang, even if I wanted to give you more benefits, I would not be able to do it. ah!"
"So, all of this until today has been fought for by yourself!" Li Ke said seriously, "You must remember this, your happiness and security must be created with your own hands. Use hard work to create.”
"As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, I try my best to let the Tang Dynasty court create good conditions for everyone, and everyone works together, and we are united as one, so that our lives can be better and better! Can everyone agree?!" Li Ke asked loudly arrive.
"Okay!" The people around him immediately cheered!
"That's good! Let's go in and have a look." Li Ke smiled, then walked into the courtyard of Zhao San's house.
These common people's homes can't even talk about the courtyards they enter. After entering the courtyard, there is a row of bungalows behind it. I don't know if it is because of the houses Li Ke designed near Chihai City before. The houses here are similar to those designed by Li Ke. It was very similar.
It is a house with two doors. There is a main room through the door, and then there are two doors on the left and right sides, which should be two bedrooms.
There are tables and a few chairs made by myself in the main room, close to the door, and there is a wooden washbasin and washstand at the entrance.
This should be the place to eat. There is a door next to the main room. There is no door on this door, but a curtain made of straw.
Li Ke opened the door and went in. This is the kitchen. In this square kitchen, near the two corners of the back wall, there are two stoves. Looking at the appearance of the stoves, Li Ke knew that there must be two bedrooms on the left and right sides. It's a fire bed.
There is a large ceramic water tank at the door of the kitchen.
Li Ke looked at it, took out a wooden ladle and shook out a ladle of water, then picked it up and took a sip and tasted it.
Before anyone could stop him, Li Ke finished the drink.
"The water quality is okay, not salty. Is this water from a well or a river?" Li Ke raised his head and asked with a smile.
"There are two wells dug in the village, well water."
"Well, yes, the winter here is relatively cold, and the well water may freeze. Prepare the way to go down the well in advance. In addition, try not to build toilets and other facilities around the well water, and keep feces and other disposal away from the water source." Li Ke nodded. .
"Yes, Your Highness."
Li Ke looked at the noodle vat next to him in the kitchen. The noodle vat was also made of pottery and covered with a lid sewn from a hard rod under a reed stick, mainly to prevent rats.
Open the noodle vat and look at the flour inside. It is no longer the black flour mixed with flour and bran. Obviously a large amount of bran has been removed from it.
To be honest, Li Ke was very happy because in his memory, when he was in the village in his previous life, his family could not afford to eat white flour and mixed it with corn flour. Now in Datang, he has solved the food problem for most people. question.
