Chapter 2: Observations (II)
After Ji Kang, Lu Zhonglian, and Su Dai finished eating in the restaurant, they came down from the second floor and walked towards the door of the restaurant.
The numerous guards on the first and second floors stood up together, and followed the three of them from a distance.
When he arrived at the door of the restaurant, Ji Kang saw that there were some scattered raindrops outside.
At this time, the guard behind took the umbrella that had been prepared long ago and handed it to Ji Kang and the other three.
After walking out of the restaurant, the rain sporadically hit the umbrella, and the summer weather became unusually cool at this time.
Ji Kang couldn't help but feel shocked.
Su Dai, who was on the side, said to Ji Kang: "Childe, it's still raining, why don't we go back to the palace?" ”
Lu Zhonglian next to him also nodded, Ji Kang looked at the two, pretended to be aggrieved, and said to the two with a smile: "Two gentlemen, pity the poor boy!" It's a lot of waste, it's hard to get out of it, let's go to the homeless place and take a look! ”
Lu Zhonglian and Su Dai looked at the expression on Ji Kang's face, and couldn't help but feel warm in their hearts, and they both laughed.
In this case, how can you be embarrassed to refuse your own son's suggestion!
Looking at each other, the two said to Ji Kang: "Since this is the case, according to the words of the son, let's go to the homeless people to have a look." ”
Ji Kang and the other three walked on the street, paved with bluestone. After the heavy rains, the rainwater was drained out of the city by the sewers that had just been built on both sides. The bluestone of the street looks unusually clean and dusty.
The three of them talked as they walked.
Lu Zhonglian was beside him and said to Ji Kang: "Son, now many gentry in southern Liaoning and Hancheng counties have taken refuge in my Liaodi, and many of them are local celebrities. For these people, if it is arranged locally, I am afraid it is not suitable! It's not arranged, and it's not suitable! ”
When Ji Kang heard this, he said without thinking: "First integrate into the system, and let these people be subordinate officials or officials, or local senators." Since you want to be an official and go out of office, you need to follow the regulations of our Liaodi. ”
"One is to start from the grassroots; Second, for those who perform well, they can be sent to the academy for training, and then these people can be arranged to become officials in other places, but they must not be officials in their own locality. ”
Ji Kang is like this, and he has his own considerations.
These gentry and celebrities have a high reputation in the local area.
If left unchecked, there will certainly be some social turmoil.
But after first incorporating this group of people into the system, the so-called "ass determines the head", you are in this position, and you must say what you are in this position. You want to take it a step further, all right! Continue to follow the great and wise prince! That's how you can make more progress, don't you?
In Ji Kang's previous life, the government had already used this method to manage local dissidents, and it was overused.
This time, Ji Kang took it with his hand and was handy.
Su Dai pondered for a moment, came to his senses, and praised in his heart.
nodded, and said to Ji Kang: "So good! What Gongzi said is all right, don't start at the grassroots level, where do you know the suffering of the people? In the future, when you become an official or the ruling party, you will not be fooled by your subordinates. ”
The three of them came to a place outside the city, specially designed to house the homeless.
Although there are still scattered raindrops in the sky, the porridge shed here continues to open.
Ji Kang, Lu Zhonglian, and Su Dai walked in, and a hot breath came to their faces.
In the newly established counties, the Prince's Mansion had already ordered that no one in its jurisdiction should be allowed to starve to death or freeze to death. Otherwise, local officials are held accountable. At the least, you will be dismissed from your office, or you will be left in a prison cell.
According to Ji Kang's words, in such a big place as Liaodi, the land is vast and sparsely populated, the land is fertile, and the dark and secluded plains can flow oil. If you can't solve the problem of food and clothing for the displaced people in the jurisdiction, what do I want you to do as an official?
In this regard, all the officials of the counties and counties in Liaodi have long known about it, and naturally they dare not slack off. Whenever these Liaodi officials go to a place, they check how many homeless people, lonely elderly people and children there are.
Of course, if there is, it is good, if there is, hurry up and register and resettle!
What, you just don't want to work, you want to beg for food, you want to be a beggar, there are no doors. According to the laws of Liaodi, this requires forced labor. If you refuse to cooperate again, I'm sorry, you go to the labor camp for labor reform!
In this day and age, no one will talk to you about human rights!
The porridge shed is filled with the smell of boiled wheat porridge.
There were not many homeless people inside, there were more than 100 people, but they were neatly dressed and clean. Of course, this is also a mandatory rule in Liaodi, and the displaced people must take a bath and change into clean clothes.
At this moment, these more than 100 homeless people are eating on the neatly arranged tables in the porridge shed.
Seeing Ji Kang and others coming in, as soon as he looked at what he was wearing, he knew that Ji Kang and the others were either rich or expensive. The more than 100 people were all wide-eyed and looked at Ji Kang and the others in surprise.
The little official in charge of the porridge shed is a person from Liaodi who has seen Ji Kang.
At this moment, when I saw Ji Kang enter the porridge shed, I couldn't believe my eyes.
Busy taking a few steps forward, kneeling on one knee, and said to Ji Kang excitedly: "Subordinate Gao Ze, I have seen the prince." ”
After hearing Gao Ze's words, the more than 100 homeless people in the porridge shed were panicked, and they all stood up and knelt on the ground together.
Ji Kang waved his hand and said to Gao Ze and the crowd: "Everyone get up!" ”
"No." Everyone said in unison.
Ji Kang walked to the cauldron of porridge, took a pair of chopsticks, inserted them into the porridge, and saw that the chopsticks in the porridge did not fall.
Ji Kang nodded and said to Gao Ze: "Good job." How many homeless people are there in Binh Thuan City now? ”
Hearing Ji Kang's praise, Gao Ze's eyes turned red.
Hurriedly clenched his fists and bowed to Ji Kang and said, "Qiyu Monarch, now the displaced people of Pingshun City have migrated to the three northern counties and left a few batches. Now there are one hundred and fifty-two people left, all of them here. ”
"According to the order of the Prime Minister's Office, in a few days, the displaced people here will join the displaced people from other counties and will all be moved to the three northern counties to be given houses and land resettlement."
Ji Kang said to Gao Ze: "Is this the last batch of displaced people?" ”
"Qiyu Prince, yes, this is the last group of outcasts."
The old gentleman Su Dai, who was behind Ji Kang, said to Ji Kang with a sigh at this moment: "Son, in this way, there are countless living people. These outcasts live because of you, and this is all your kindness! ”
The old gentleman Lu Zhonglian, who was on the side, nodded more than after hearing Su Dai's words.
Ji Kang shook his head, turned to Lu Zhonglian and Su Dai and said, "Two gentlemen, this is not a merit!" Those in high positions should manage the government and the people, and let their leaders be well fed and clothed, which is the duty of all those in high positions. ”
Lu Zhonglian and Su Dai, the two old men, after listening to Ji Kang's words, looked at the young prince in front of them, and their eyes were moist.
Qi bowed deeply to Ji Kang and said to Ji Kang: "Gongzi Gaoyi is really a blessing for the people of my Liaodi. ”
And Gao Ze and the one hundred and fifty-two homeless people behind him once again fell to their knees and burst into tears.
Seeing all this, Ji Kang couldn't help but think of a passage that Mr. Zou Yan taught himself: "The king is ordained, and the five virtues are always clear, and the power of heaven and earth is obvious." ”
"Therefore, we should move out, change our clothes, change our customs, change our titles, correct our ways, and change the people's system to obey the destiny of heaven."
"Show the world the heavy weapon, the king is unified, and it is difficult to spread the world. Therefore, the five virtues give birth to the king, the work is in the herdsman, and the king is the general tool; If there is a king, he will be benevolent. ”
Ji Kang was in the porridge shed, looking at the two gentlemen Lu Zhonglian and Su Dai who bowed to him, and saw more than 100 homeless people bowing to him.
Ji Kang's eyes narrowed, as if he had realized. The scenes after coming to this world flashed in my mind, there were memories and prospects, and my mind was gradually decided.
When I raised my head and looked outside the porridge shed, I found that the clouds had dispersed outside, and the sun's rays were shining down.
