Chapter 309: Political Show
There are no young and strong laborers in Datang now, all parts of the country are building Chi Road, as well as the excavation of the Grand Canal, the government hires people, businessmen hire people, and even various factories are robbing people, Li Jun has set a dead rule for this domestic development, that is, every person who participates in the construction must have wages, if there is a situation of arrears of wages, the inspector can arrest people on the spot, and Lin Mang, who came back from Beijin, is now in charge of this work.
Li Jun also made a special trip to the construction site today, and this time the workers in charge of the construction of the Guanzhong Chi Road were all displaced people, and the displaced people came down from the mountain and had to go through a year of hard labor, so Li Jun arranged for these people to repair the road.
This kind of relaxation road is very similar to the railway of later generations, when Qin Shi Huang's 500,000 troops went to Lingnan, he used this kind of relaxation road, otherwise Qin Shi Huang would not be able to let the 500,000 army go to Lingnan, but unfortunately after Xiang Yu won the world, Qin general Zhao Tuo was killed by Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu was not rare in those wild places in Lingnan, and all the Chidao was destroyed, and there were three vassal states.
After years of hard work by the Mo family, Li Jun finally succeeded in restoring this relaxation, Li Jun came to the construction site to tell the truth that it was a show, and the political show was done every day in the world, Li Jun was tired of watching it for a long time, but now that it was his turn, Li Jun was unexpectedly excited.
So the displaced people who worked around Chang'an City saw a picture they had never seen before, Li Jun, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, holding his trouser legs, his legs were full of mud spots, wearing sackcloth and a Fan Yang hat, accompanied by Zhao Kang, the head of the household who was neat and tidy, and the purple and gold crown was shining, inspected the construction site everywhere.
His Majesty would ask the people if they could eat enough, and then ask if there was any rain leaking in the place where they lived, and he personally walked to the stove room, filled a small bowl of millet rice, poured broth, and chatted with a few elderly people while eating.
After eating, I went to the place where the people lived, saw the house leaking on all sides, and ordered Zhao Shangshu, who was full of light, to solve the problem of accommodation for the people as soon as possible, the weather is about to be hot, once the mosquitoes breed and cause the plague, it is a catastrophe, this matter must be carried out first, even if the construction period is delayed, human life must be put first.
The glamorous Zhao Shangshu agreed embarrassedly, and when he turned around, he ordered his subordinate officials to make preparations immediately, and at this time, His Majesty had already held a dirty little girl, wiped her nose, wiped her nose, and wiped her little face clean, and gave the little girl two pieces of candy. The little girl would not eat, so His Majesty skinned her and stuffed her into her little mouth.
The little girl's eyes lit up at once, and she struggled to slip out of His Majesty's arms, took another piece of candy, peeled it off and stuffed it into the mouth of a toothless old woman, and reluctantly spit out the candy cube in her mouth. Feeding it to a dirtier little boy next to him, he was ticking his saliva to watch his brother eat candy.
This scene brought His Majesty the Tang Emperor to tears. The attachΓ©s around him were also crying silently, and some of the people were holding on to their tools.
Good children will be rewarded, and His Majesty distributed the candy he brought to the children of the people one by one, and when he saw that His Majesty made all the candy cubes glow, a child made a great determination. Biting off half of the candy and handing it to Li Jun, looking at the dirty hands, the candy cubes were still stained with children's saliva, Li Jun didn't frown, and ate it.
Not only that, Li Jun also dragged a jade pendant from Zhao Kang's waist, handed it to the little boy and said amiably: "I have eaten your sugar, I can't eat it for nothing, you can keep this jade pendant and use it for your daughter-in-law in the future." β
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The little boy's parents pulled the little boy and knelt down and kowtowed.
Li Jun came outside, saw a high platform next to it, and walked up, many homeless people surrounded in a circle, the Royal Forest Army just wanted to expel it, but was angrily reprimanded by Zhao Kang, Li Jun shouted loudly: "Datang is now waiting for a hundred industries, as long as the people of Datang must consciously assume their own responsibilities, now the foreign enemies have been driven away by the Tang Dynasty soldiers in the bitter cold land, good days are created by our own hands, or come, can't wait, so you can go down the mountain, I am very happy, wait until this year's labor is over, I will give you some money, give you land, live and work in peace and contentment, and we will work hard for another year to try to repair the road as soon as possible. β
Li Jun's bland speech won the love of everyone, regardless of the government and the people, knelt on one knee together, and shouted "Oh"
After speaking, Li Jun first picked up a shovel and walked to the construction site, followed by a large number of people who were pressed by the black, men, women and children all came, and when they saw that His Majesty began to dig the soil, all the people went to their own posts, digging the soil, picking stones, and drilling rocks, and they were so busy that they did not stop for a moment.
Being able to act wholeheartedly, which requires a very high level of cultivation, Li Jun suddenly admired the actors of later generations, after a busy day, Li Jun had a lot of blisters on his hands, Li Jun wanted to do a full set of plays, and he would live on the construction site tonight, but think about the scene of lice running around in the residence of those homeless people, so he shook his head and went back to the palace.
After Li Jun returned to the palace, he went to take a hot bath as soon as possible, and also found a few palace maids who could massage to help with the massage.
After Li Jun took a bath, Li Chengtang, who had just returned from raising pigs, came over to say goodbye, Li Chengtang first gave Li Jun a salute, and then obediently took a fan to Li Jun to fan the wind.
Li Jun is very happy about his son's flattery, it is now July, which is the hottest time of the year in Chang'an, and after a while, Li Chengtang's little face began to sweat.
Li Jun waved his hand and said, "Okay, your filial piety father knows it, go over and rest." β
"Erchen is not tired." Li Chengtang replied honestly.
Li Jun pointed at Liu Hong and said, "You old minion, you really don't have the strength to see, hurry up and bring me and the prince some shaved ice, I didn't see the prince is hot like this." β
"The old slave will go now." Liu Hong slapped his mouth lightly and said with a smile.
Li Chengtang has liked shaved ice the most since he was a child, and when he saw Liu Hong bringing a big bowl of shaved ice, he immediately put down the fan, ran over to take it and ate it.
At this time, Li Chengtang could see a little child's appearance, Li Jun thought about what he was doing when he was ten years old, although he followed his grandfather for his life, and his family background was not very good, but compared to Li Chengtang, he was too happy, at least he didn't have to memorize those books.
Li Jun said to Li Chengtang dotingly: "Eat less, you can't be greedy, it's not good if you have a stomach." β
"Well, I know, Father." Li Chengtang replied without raising his head.
After the father and son finished eating two large bowls of ice, Li Chengtang asked unsatisfactorily: "Father, can I come to you often?" In the harem, the queen mother is too strict, let alone eating ice, and she is not even allowed to drink cold water in summer. β
Li Jun said with a smile: "No problem, you can come if you want, if you don't want to go back, you can sleep with your father." β
Li Chengtang almost flew up happily after hearing this.
Li Jun patted Li Chengtang's arm, but he didn't notice that he touched the blister that had just been broken, and he grinned in pain.
Li Chengtang was startled and said, "Father, your hand is injured?" Do you want to send the imperial doctor over? β
Li Jun waved his hand and said, "It's okay." β
At this time, Liu Hong took the opportunity to add fuel and vinegar to tell Li Chengtang about Li Jun's affairs at the construction site today, and Li Chengtang looked at his father with adoring eyes after listening to it and said: "Father, you are really amazing, and your son must be a person like his father in the future." β
Li Jun smiled and asked, "Silly boy, do you think your father is willing to work?" β
"My father is the most diligent." Li Chengtang replied without hesitation.
Li Jun shook his head and said: "My father is very diligent in reviewing and reviewing the folds, but my father doesn't like to do tiring work, and my father does this to please others." β
"My father is the honor of a country, who else do I need to please? Who can afford it? Li Chengtang's domineering spirit suddenly appeared.
Li Jun laughed and said: "Who said that the emperor doesn't need to please people, the emperor has more people to please, and the father and emperor of Shinong and businessmen need to please, but the people who need to please the emperor the most are those people, so as long as the people like it, then I should do it." β
"Then does the father also need to please these minions?" Li Chengtang pointed at Liu Hong and asked.
Li Jun nodded and said, "Of course, throughout the ages, I don't know how many emperors have been killed by their close attendants......"
"Slaves don't dare, slaves don't dare to ......" Before Li Jun finished speaking, Liu Hong knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Li Jun waved his hand and said, "Okay, hurry up, I didn't say anything about you, I'm telling the prince about the emperor's technique." β
