In the eight years of Zhenguan, a lot of big things happened in Datang.

For example, Duan Zhixuan and others began to attack Tuyuhun, which opened the prelude to their downfall; For example, Shandong, Henan, Huainan and other places are once again flooded, and there are countless refugees; Another example is the crown prince's Canadian dollar service, and began to listen to the court; For example, Li Shimin once again made a big show of his might, adding a nephew and a niece to Li Yuanjia, and so on.

But for Li Yuanjia, there is only one thing that really matters.

Li Shimin asked his close ministers to comment on the gains and losses of current affairs, and Ji Fu, the public of Beixian County, wrote five articles very straightforwardly. Reducing the servitude of the common people, curbing the extravagance of the princes, and even improving the treatment of magistrates have nothing to do with Li Yuanjia, but he simply loves to death the improvement of the emperor's dignity in front of the prince!

Speaking of which, it was because of a chance encounter with Gao Jifu.

To put it simply, Gao Jifu was walking on the road when he suddenly saw three royal princes. One is Li Yuan's son, Li Shimin's younger brother Li Yuanxiao, and the other two are Li Shimin's sons Li Ke, King of Wu, and Li Tai, King of Wei. After the two met, Li Ke, the king of Wu, and Li Tai, the king of Wei, naturally wanted to salute their uncle, but Li Yuanxiao immediately hurried to return the salute, and this scene suddenly made Gao Jifu look uncomfortable.

When a nephew sees his uncle, he should salute, but his uncle must also bow back, what the hell is the reason? In the words of Gao Jifu, that is, "The prince is the same, and the family is polite, how can it be so upside down?" ”

Listen, it's all upside down!

So after listening to Gao Jifu's advice, whether he was really happy or not, Li Shimin told his younger brother Li Yuanxiao and others, who were still in Chang'an, that they would not answer Wu Wangke and Wei Wangtai brothers in the future. In other words, when Li Yuanjia sees those nephews who are more powerful than the other in the future, he finally doesn't have to return the awkward gifts......

When he got the news, Li Yuanjia was all comfortable!

And what made him even more comfortable was that the sewer project in Luzhou City was progressing very smoothly. Under Li Yuanjia's reminder, Huang Zhongliang inspected the topography and street direction of the city early, and also took into account the future expansion of the city, and even the five little guys performed very well in this project. Entrusted with important responsibilities, everyone is growing at a speed that is visible to the eye.

The city's four main sewer pipes should be completed by the end of January.

If there is anything that makes Li Yuanjia feel regretful, there is only one - for the benefit of King Yu for Luzhou, and even the project that is likely to be famous in history in the future, it has been scolded by countless Luzhou people as a "face project", and it is almost set up as a model of labor and money!

Anyway, in the eyes of ordinary people, what's wrong with a little water on the ground?

At best, it's a little ugly, and in the summer the gutters stink a little more. But the king insisted on building all the waterways underground, using the money of Luzhou and the servitude of the people of Luzhou! And not only that, the result of more than 200 big men starting construction at the same time is that the four main roads in Luzhou are all digging big pits, which is the most inconvenient for the people, and they are slandered every day.

Of course, I heard that in order to make up for the lack of money, the king also took out thousands of yuan, and the strong men of the palace even went into battle to dig the pit in person, which is still quite praised by many people. But after thinking about it, the people still find it difficult to understand this kind of project, which is obviously full of food and nothing to do......

……

"Hehe, it's okay."

At the end of the year, after hearing these folk discussions from Han Shan's mouth, Li Yuanjia smiled and waved his hand: "When they find out that there are fewer mosquitoes in summer and the epidemic rarely occurs again, they will thank me after all...... Haha, I even know that they are not only dissatisfied with me because of the sewer but also because they are not allowed to litter, right? ”

"Uh......"

The corners of his mouth twitched, Han Shan didn't dare to answer this stubble.

The first two sentences of the king were vague, and he couldn't hear them clearly, but the last sentence was very clear, which made Han Shan depressed and nodded secretly in his heart.

Isn't that right?

He heard that since the official announcement of the official issuance of a notice announcing that littering is not allowed on the streets, and violators will be severely fined, the highest day in Luzhou City has been fined as much as two yuan! You must know that this year's bucket rice is only three or four yuan, and two dollars are enough to buy hundreds of buckets of grain, enough for a large family to eat for a year!

Even now, people are being punished for this every day.

Think about it yourself, can the common people not curse in secret?

However, Han Shan's slightly embarrassed expression didn't make Li Yuanjia angry, he just shook his head with a smile and said, "Okay, just let them do what they say, you just need to keep an eye on the construction of the sewer and those toilets for me, and don't go wrong." ”

"Yes, King!"

nodded respectfully, but in his heart he was quite disapproving.

The name of the bathroom sounds very awkward, but Han Shan has seen it a long time ago, and there are several in the backyard of the Luzhou Government Office. It's just that he still doesn't understand why the king wants to build more than a dozen houses in Luzhou City, and each of them has to build two rooms, divided into men and women!

It is too extravagant to build a house for the sake of those civilians.

But who makes his own master happy?

And if you think about it, it's not just a question of whether you like it or not!

It is not enough for the king of Guangda to be willing himself, but you must also be willing to be the officials and people in Luzhou, and if you are not happy, you will be fined money or work - it is said that Chen Lin has already begun to draw up a notice, stipulating that in the future, anyone who does not enter the bathroom and defecates in the streets and alleys will be fined 100 yuan and clean the toilets in the city for ten days, which is simply an unheard of strange punishment......

In any case, Li Yuanjia's order must be carried out, and Han Shan did not dare to say more.

This year, he made a few mistakes, and he insisted too much when trying to persuade Li Yuanjia to give up certain ideas, and as a result, he was almost sent to the farm by the king. So after learning a few lessons, Han Shan no longer dared to say more by virtue of his identity as an old man next to the king - this is not Chang'an, and there is no imperial concubine and old man Yuwen to support him.

"By the way, what's going on at the paper mill?"

As soon as he finished talking about the sewer project, Li Yuanjia suddenly asked, "It's a new year, and their money should be almost spent, right?" Also, how are things going at the paper workshop? When will it be built? ”

Han Shan, who had long been accustomed to the word plan, shook his head and replied, "Back to the king, I just met Wang Pu yesterday, and he said that he would come to see the king tomorrow. As for the papermaking workshop...... It will be completed next month, so please rest assured. ”

"Well, that's good!"

After listening to Han Shan's words, Li Yuanjia immediately nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "You must always pay attention to this matter, and when a large amount of new paper is made, it will be shipped to Chang'an for me immediately, and sent to the Emperor, the Emperor and the Fang Gongfu ......."
