Waving his hand to the shopkeeper's son, Li Zhi lowered his voice and said, "Prince, the purpose of disaster relief is to maintain the survival of the people. You also know that today's national treasury, military expenditures should be the bulk. This year's drought, to protect the people Although it is necessary, why do I feel that the disaster relief is too much? A family like this one will probably earn a lot more than it did in the good years."
Li Xian did not expect that there would be such people among the victims. However, the disaster relief strategy he formulated, coupled with the adaptability of Wang Bo and others, logically speaking, the wealth gap between the victims would not be so obvious.
Seeing that the shopkeeper hadn't started cooking the noodles yet, Li Xian waved to him to come over and asked, "Although the court's disaster relief efforts are great, it won't allow you to receive so much relief."
Having said this, Li Xian suddenly had an idea and asked, "Shopkeeper, do you have a craftsman or foreman in your family?"
When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately nodded and said, "My guest guessed right. My eldest son is a stonemason. Because of his dexterity in work, our second son was appointed as the foreman for a month, so the wages my family received were particularly generous."
"I see, you go ahead and cook the noodles."
After letting the shopkeeper leave, Li Xian looked at the confused Li Zhi and said: "When we first formulated the disaster relief regulations, I was afraid that some people would be passive and miss work, so we formulated a system, that is, among ordinary farm workers, those who work seriously should , who can be rated as a foreman, the wages they receive are much richer. As for masons and other specialized workers, because of their skills and various reasons such as the danger of work, their wages are also richer than ordinary agricultural workers. This company is just Individual cases, not all families are like this.”
Li Zhi naturally knew Li Xian's intention of formulating this system, so he stopped pursuing it and concentrated on waiting for the noodles to be served.
After a long time, the shopkeeper brought the noodles.
Just one glance made Li Xian feel a little unacceptable.
This kind of stall caters to craftsmen and passing customers. Naturally, the skills are not as good as those of professional cooks. It's obviously a noodle stall, but the soup base of the noodles served is more like pimple soup.
Shaking his head and getting rid of unnecessary thoughts, Li Xian began to eat the noodles, while also sizing up Li Zhi's reaction.
As the Lord of Shou Cheng, Li Zhi has basically never suffered hardship since he was born. He has been well-fed and well-fed for many years, but I don't know if he can continue to eat.
However, what shocked him extremely was that Li Zhi actually moved his kuaizi and ate the noodles without any disgust.
Seeing Li Xian staring at him, Li Zhi smiled and said: "Think I can't eat? Then you are wrong about me. In order to teach the prince the importance of food, the late emperor locked up a few of us brothers and starved them for two days. The genius gave him food. The meal of that meal was obviously a bowl of leftovers, but the emperor brother and I were fighting over each other to eat it."
"After several times of education like this, I will no longer despise any kind of food that can satisfy my hunger. Not to mention this bowl of noodles, even if you serve me a bowl of sour food, I can still eat it."
Seeing Li Zhi's triumphant look, Li Xian immediately understood why he had to come over to eat noodles.
This is also education. Unlike Emperor Taizong, Li Zhi also wanted to educate his son, but he did not lock him up and starve him, but demonstrated it himself.
However, Li Xian felt that there was no need for Li Zhi to educate himself in this way. Although Prince Zhang Huai has never suffered hardship, Li Xian himself still knows the importance of food.
After finishing a bowl of noodles quickly, Li Zhi raised his head and wanted to speak, but he saw Li Xian holding the kuaizi and eating the noodles bit by bit. Although he had an obviously uncomfortable expression, he did not stop. , until I finished the entire bowl of noodles, and asked the shopkeeper for a bowl of noodle soup.
The prince who has been pampered since birth can actually eat such food?
This made Li Zhi suddenly become interested and asked: "How do you like this bowl of noodles?"
Hearing Li Zhi's question, Li Xian cupped his hands and replied, "Go back to Aye, this bowl of noodles is enough to satisfy your hunger."
Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Li Zhi whispered: "I'm not asking you whether you're full, but whether it's delicious."
"Unappetizing."
"But you still finished eating. To be honest, I didn't expect you to
But I can really eat it. "
Seeing Li Zhi's unbelievable look, Li Xian replied: "When I was in the fiefdom, although the official control was quite strict, I still had time to go out for a stroll. What's more, this drought, I'm not afraid of it anymore." I went to the construction site once to inspect, and I still have some understanding of the people's food and clothing."
"In the hearts of the common people, food is only classified as filling or not, not delicious or unpleasant. It's embarrassing to say that although I understand the suffering of the common people, I still find this pasta difficult to swallow."
Seeing Li Xian telling the truth, Li Zhi laughed loudly: "Yes, yes, you are spoiled. I don't expect you to share the joys and sorrows with the people. As long as you can understand the sufferings of the people, it is enough. Although we are royalty, Just like the late emperor said, the king is the boat and the people are the water. Water can carry the boat but also capsize it. Only an emperor who understands the suffering of the people can follow the trend of the water and move forward steadily."
"To be honest, I had an impromptu idea today and originally wanted to educate you, but you performed very well. The so-called literary and military strategies are not the time of the late emperor. The world is in dispute. You just need to strengthen your body. As for government affairs, judging from disaster relief and auctions, your strategies are still very good. What you lack is just experience. However, experience is not something that can be learned casually. It takes time to accumulate. . But fortunately, Zhang Wenguan, Hao Chujun and others are still useful. With them to help you, you will never make a big mistake..."
Looking at the chattering Li Zhi, Li Xian couldn't help but open his mouth...
In this case, how...
Why do they sound a bit like last words?
This is too scary!
Li Zhi, who was talking eloquently, suddenly realized his gaffe and smiled, even if the lake was over.
Jiang Hao has always been considerate and considerate. Seeing that the saint was a little embarrassed, he quickly came over to report: "Your Majesty, the carriage of the fifth surname has just passed the city gate. Good guy, just by looking at the shaft of the carriage, you can tell that they are well prepared. money."
"Haha, the more money they prepare, the better."
Glancing in the direction of the city gate, Li Zhi smiled particularly happily.
Seeing Li Zhizhi's proud look, Li Xian couldn't help but light a candle to the five surnamed family in his heart.
As early as the Taizong period, the imperial examination system had become a stumbling block for children of aristocratic families to enter officialdom. But now, the imperial examination system has forced the family into a dangerous situation.
Emperors like Li Zhi, who have the mentality of "the strong master wins over the ancestor", will naturally take over what his father has not done and strive to do the best.
And taking advantage of this auction, Li Zhi carefully prepared a bottomless pit for the five surnames!
