After eating, Cheng Hong first asked a group of masons to set up a kang in his tent, after all, it was still a little cold in early spring, and Erya was still young after all, if he had a cold, he would die if he had a cold this year.

Cheng Hong watched it for a while, and took Erya to the river to hide and clean! It is probably the first time for a group of second-generation officials to see so many people busy working, and it is strange to see everything, digging twice and chiseling twice.

Hou Jie picked up a river mussel in the shallow water of the rocky beach by the river, and after asking Cheng Hong to know that this thing could be eaten, a group of officials of the second generation broke out with great enthusiasm, and a group of people were looking for river mussels in shallow water......

At this time, the King of Wei and the King of Shu completely put down the shelves, and the two of them got together to help the cook's children move firewood, pick vegetables, and chat.

The children brought by the cook do what they can, trying to prove that they are not eating rice, and they are afraid that they will lose their jobs because of their own reasons, which is heart-wrenching!

Cheng Hong is tying a fish basket by the river. Tie a place where the water is stable, tie the rope, tie some leftovers with a cloth, and sink a few stones to the bottom of the river. Erya watched from the sidelines, or helped out, she loved to see Cheng Hong in a hurry, and she couldn't get tired!

Cheng Hong was so angry that he grabbed Erya and pressed it on his leg and pretended to hit him twice, Erya rubbed his buttocks and pouted and looked at Cheng Hong with his ears.

After a while, the two brothers Li Tai and Li Ke came over, and without saying a word, they sat not far from Cheng Hong, Cheng Hong raised his eyes and took a look, it seemed that both of them had cried, and Cheng Hong didn't raise his head and said: "Now you know why I didn't give them so much money, right?"

Li Tai nodded: "Why?" Isn't Datang not left behind in the four seas? Cheng Hong asked, "Who told you?"

"That's what the gentlemen say?"

Of course the gentlemen say so, for no scoundrel has gone into their house to make trouble, and no one has kept an eye on his children! All you hear is what is going on in the homes of gentlemen! No one tells you~ The people under the rule are unclothed, and no one tells you~ People are staring at these people who can't go on all day long, waiting for them to sell their sons and daughters! ”

"Why is this happening?"

"That's why I don't let you expose yourself as the prince, if you say that you are the prince, the county order can't let these cooks come out, because they are starving to death, and the report is just a cold number, they appear in front of you, you know that they are living people, the county order is so poor, you can say a word to your father casually, you can make them unsafe!"

"Cheng Hong, can you continue to build this? If you don't build them, how will they live? I just asked, some of them even rent land to other families to plant, the rent is not cheap, only enough to rent the tax of the mediocre adjustment, because their own family has no labor to plant the land, can only make a living by making some pulp washing or sewing for large families, and several families starved to death in the first winter! ”

"So, the stalls on both sides of the wharf are for them, selling some tea and food, or opening some places to stay, and when the steel mill is completed in the future, those who come here to carry goods or boatmen and porters can earn more money if they don't come home at noon to eat here, and the money they spend can feed these orphans and widows."

At this time, Li Ke, who had been silent for a long time, asked: "If you learn what kind of economic warfare you have, can you kill many people?" Can the people of Datang be fed? ”

Cheng Hong nodded affirmatively: "Yes!" As long as the operation is good, the country will be rich and the people will be rich! Li Ke nodded vigorously: "I have learned, even if I am extremely poor all my life, I have to learn, not for anything else, just for orphans and widows like them to be less and better off!"

Cheng Hong patted Li Ke on the shoulder: "Yes, everything will be fine!"

At this time, Erya pointed to Li Tai and asked Cheng Hong: "Why don't they know that there are still people in Datang who can't eat?" Cheng Hong rubbed Erya's head: "Because hungry people can't speak, and people who say are not hungry!" I'll tell you a story! This story is quite similar to this story! ”

One day the quartermaster found that the soldiers who came down from the battlefield were missing arms and legs, and the thick breastplate had no scratches, so he wondered: The cuirass has no scratches, is it that the chest is rarely attacked?

If you lack arms and legs, can you thicken the armor of your limbs to strengthen your defense? So he made himself clever and thickened the armor of his limbs and thinned the cuirass, and after a war, there was really no missing arms and legs, and the quartermaster thought that he had succeeded, and was complacent!

But the general came to him and asked why he wanted to cut the quartermaster, and the general said: The thick cuirass can at least make them come back with missing arms and legs, and the thick armor of the limbs is lying on the battlefield, and you think that you have succeeded but those who have been killed by your fake success cannot speak! ”

The two princes glanced at the cook and nodded, and Li Tai asked, "Then can I help them do something?" Cheng Hong smiled: "Don't write poetry?" Li Tai blushed and nodded: "It's useless to compose poetry!"

Cheng Hong shook his head: "Who said that it is useless to compose poems, you listen to this: hoeing at noon on the day,

Sweat drops of grass in the soil,

Who knows the Chinese food on the plate,

Every grain is hard.

Plant a grain of millet in spring,

Autumn harvest of 10,000 seeds,

There is no idle field in the four seas,

The farmer is starving to death! ”

Li Tai clapped his hands and said: "Good poem, but if this king doesn't know what is going on here, something big will happen to you in the last four sentences!" Cheng Hong clapped his hands: "Ah! That's why no one told you that every day the four seas are leveled, and my father is happy that they are better, but in fact, my father knows, but he just doesn't want to tell you! ”

At this time, a group of second-generation officials came over and asked Cheng Hong how to eat those river mussels? Cheng Hong looked up at the sky: "Li Tai, Li Ke, you should go to the big tent of the Chinese army, find Changsun Chong, Fang Zhizhi, Wei Shuyu, get ready, and pay after eating after work in a while!"

Li Tai asked, "Then what are you doing?" Cheng Hong pointed to his nose and asked, "Me?" Of course I'll cook for you, do you want to eat pork? After speaking, he patted his ass and got up, and asked Hou Jie to take two wooden barrels and go to the river to get the fish basket! The harvest is not bad, some small fish and shrimp are fried in oil, and the shrimp are picked out and kept for Erya to save being pierced by fish bones, and here Cheng Hong commanded everyone to pry open the mussels and wash the sediment.

Since no one will make the mussels, the top of the mussel is super large, and the white and tender mussel meat has made a big pot!

Cheng Hong cut the mussel meat on the field, boiled the water a little and then stir-fried, seasoning, salt, as soon as the pot was put into the pot, the fragrance wafted out, Cheng Hong fried the small fish and green shrimp again, and returned to his tent with two large plates.

Wu Erya was already waiting for the meal, and when Cheng Hong came in and hurriedly helped set up the stool, at this time, the tent curtain was lifted, and the eldest grandson Chong and the king of Wei and Shu came in with a plate of river mussel meat, and the four of them laughed.

Talking about some of the things he found today, Cheng Hong urged them to eat quickly, and they had to pay money after eating! Changsun Chong didn't think it, but Li Tai and Li Ke obviously sped up the speed of eating, and they couldn't wait to send out the money for a while.

After eating, a group of officials and the second generation gathered around the tent to maintain order, a total of five tables, Changsun Chong, Fang Zhizhi, King Wei, King Shu, Wei Shuyu each accounted for one, while collecting cards and sending money, bronze medal fifteen, bamboo card ten, kitchen lady five, kitchen lady one by one to hide until the end of the money when the humble almost kowtowed, a group of people crying, laughing......

Li Tai and Li Ke looked at Cheng Hong as the yellow-faced and thin-skinned child asked for help, Cheng Hong shook his head: "Hey! Forget it, if you give a penny to each child, it should be the hard-earned money! ”

Li Tai immediately cheered and beckoned the children to come to line up for a penny each, and the children were happy to take the penny to show off to their mother, and then carefully handed it to their mother, and a group of cooks shouted great kindness.

Li Tai scratched his head and smiled, turned around and said to Cheng Hong secretly: "I want to be such a person in the future!" A kind person! ”……
