"Watering does not forget the well digger!"

The headlines on the front page of the magazine hyped up the glorious deeds of the officers and men of the 16 Guards in fighting drought and providing disaster relief.

Some officers and soldiers fought for two days and nights, tired to the ground; Some officers and men happened to be assigned to their own villages, insisted on ranking their own fields last, and gave priority to other villagers to fight drought; in the face of a great disaster, the brilliance of human nature was revealed, and the heroic deeds were shocking.

In the past, the common people did not have a good impression of officers and soldiers, and bandits were like combing soldiers and grates were the most vicious words to describe officers and soldiers, but the officers and men of the 16 th Guards completely subverted the previous impression of the people in Guanzhong on officers and soldiers.

Don't eat, don't take, don't get stuck, lie on the ground when you're tired, don't disturb the people, and go all out for disaster relief, I have to say that Li Shimin is indeed a natural politician.

"The Teacher of Righteousness!"

Countless people in Guanzhong are grateful to Dai De, such officers and soldiers have never appeared in the land of China, and the people of Guanzhong used to say that good men should not be soldiers, but now Merton believes that as long as they raise their arms, the children of Guanzhong who actively join the army can go from Gaoling to Chang'an City.

Li Shimin's prestige reached its peak in an instant, at this moment, the people of Guanzhong no longer remember the black history of Li Shimin's killing of his brother and father, they only knew that at their critical juncture, Li Shimin saved them, if anyone dared to hack Li Shimin again, these people stepped forward without saying a word and spoke in a desperate tone.

"Watering does not forget the well diggers! That's a good slogan! ”

On the fields outside Sanyuan County, Li Shimin looked at the ink periodicals in his hand, then looked at the well-digging soldiers all over the field, and listened to the gratitude of the people, showing an expression of enjoyment.

"This is all Your Majesty's wisdom and concern for the people, which is a blessing for the people of my Tang Dynasty." Merton followed behind and patted the sycophants, Merton's task this time is still to escort the well drilling tools, and by the way, he will give a portrait of Cheng Biting Jin, who is contracted to fight drought in Sanyuan County, and he has just finished preparing to go back, and he found Mo Jiazi

Li Shimin smiled smugly, this disaster fight has completely captured the hearts of the people in Guanzhong, so that Li Shimin's long-standing heart disease has been swept away, and his throne is not right, so he desperately wants to do better and prove that being the emperor is the best choice for the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, he was diligent, humble and admonished, attacked the Turks in the north, expanded his territory, and worked hard to become a Ming monarch to prove that his original decision was correct.

The drought-fighting show made him prove himself once again, and shut up those villains in the shadows.

"Your Majesty!"

Cheng Yanjin hurried over.

"Zhijie! The drought of the people has been brought under control! Li Shimin asked.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I have been in Sanyuan County for three days, and I can ensure that each household has at least three wells, which is enough to keep six acres of land." Cheng Yanjin assured.

Li Shimin's drought-fighting policy is very simple, that is, whether you are from a high-ranking family or a small family, you should treat everyone equally and take turns to dig wells.

No matter how much land you have, you can only wait for the next round of well-drilling. In this way, the interests of the small households are guaranteed to the greatest extent.

In this way, those landlords with a lot of land are not satisfied, but unfortunately it is useless, those officers and soldiers do not listen to you at all, and they can't even find a blacksmith if they want to dig a well by themselves, they are all requisitioned by the imperial court, and they can only stare dryly.

Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction, the harvest of crops in six acres of fields is enough for the whole family to tide over this drought, as for those landlords themselves, their ability to resist drought is strong, and some paddy fields have already been watered, no matter how bad they are, there are still five or six acres of land to protect the capital.

"General! Checkmate! ”

An old man in a brocade robe shouted Cheng Biting Jin and wanted to get closer, but was stopped by the soldiers who were secretly protecting Li Shimin, the old man in the brocade robe didn't know Li Shimin, and thought it was Cheng Biting Jin's subordinates! A strong whisper begged, wanting to come.

"Let him come!" Li Shimin said in a deep voice, he wanted to know what this old man in brocade robe wanted to do.

Only then did the soldier let go of the old man in the brocade robe, and after a brief search, he was released, and there were still two soldiers following him, just in case.

"Old man, what's the matter with you, but there are no soldiers to help your family dig a well?" Li Shimin asked kindly.

The old man in the brocade robe looked at Li Shimin and then at Cheng Yanjin, a little at a loss.

"Ask you and you'll answer!" Cheng Yanjin said angrily.

"If you go back to your nobles, Xiaomin's land has already drilled three wells, but Xiaomin has more fields, and I want to buy a set of well-drilling equipment from the general!" The old man in the brocade robe quickly explained his intentions in the future.

"It can't be! The tools for drilling wells are exclusively supplied by the government! It's impossible to sell now! Cheng Yanjin categorically refused, this is the emperor's move to benefit the people, if it is sold, it will not be a self-smashing signboard.

The old man in the brocade robe said anxiously: "Please have mercy on the general, the land in the small people's homes is dry land, and the three wells are a drop in the bucket at all, and the land of the small people should not be watered in time, and most of the land this year will be harvested, and the small people find that the well drilling equipment allocated by the officers and soldiers has been slightly redundant, and please have mercy on the general and give the small people a set." ”

The old man in the brocade robe is Liu Shiming, the largest landlord around, and there is a lot of land in his family, and the three wells have been used by him to the extreme, only watering ten acres of land, and the remaining large tract of land is powerless.

According to the government's method of distributing and drilling wells, it is impossible to irrigate the Liu family's nearly 1,000 acres of fields. Therefore, all the hopes of the Liu family are only placed on self-reliance, and it is imperative to have a set of well-drilling tools.

He didn't dare to touch the well-drilling equipment in the hands of the officers and soldiers, so he kept an eye on the number of well-drilling equipment, and after finding that there was a surplus, he immediately came to find Cheng Yanjin.

"Already redundant well drilling equipment?" Li Shimin looked at Cheng Yanjin in surprise.

However, Cheng Yanjin was also confused, he had been on the front line for the past few days, and he used the well drilling tools immediately, and he didn't count them at all.

Merton lowered his head and calculated, nodded and said, "Every time Mojia Village sends well drilling equipment, it will send two more sets as a backup!" In case of errors. In this way, plus the kid's recent delivery, if there is no damage, there should be six sets of well-drilling tools left in Mihara County. ”

"Yes, yes, there are six more sets, two of which have been damaged, and there should be four more sets in good condition." Liu Shiming has been eyeing him for a long time.

"Four sets!" Li Shimin couldn't help but groan.

In the final analysis, the Tang Dynasty is still the rule of the landlord class, and this time the government has taken care of the interests of small peasants to the greatest extent with the help of the drought.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "Four sets of equipment, one is divided into two, two sets can be sold to landlords with more land, and the other two sets are organized on the spot to continue to dig wells." He instructed the superintendent to continue to make well-drilling tools, and the surplus tools in the future were to be carried out according to this plan. ”

"The emperor is wise!" Cheng Yanjin nodded,

In this way, it can not only ensure the continued growth of the well-drilling team, but also take into account the interests of the landlords.

"Your Majesty!"

Liu Shiming's heart trembled, and he almost collapsed to the ground, he didn't expect that the person in front of him would be the current emperor.

"It's a big disaster in Guanzhong! Please also ask the elderly to work together with me to tide over the difficulties! Li Shimin is really a natural politician, and in just a few words, Liu Shiming was moved to tears, and the previous complaints because he couldn't irrigate his heart have long disappeared without a trace.

This is Li Shimin's political wisdom, and the way of balance is perfect.
