Chapter 534: National Interests
Li You asked: "Since everyone has the intention of matching them, we can create an environment for them to be familiar with each other, why don't you let Ruoyu go to work in the Industrial City, let him work by Baoqi's side, and let them get acquainted with each other." If the two of them get along, everything will be in order. ”
Xiao Wanyu said: "That's good, I agree." ”
Liu Feixu expressed his approval. However, she still had a question in her heart, she said: "Eguo Gong has seen Ruoyu's mother and Gu Kun, he will definitely recognize them in the future, if he knows Ruoyu's true identity, will there be trouble?" ”
Li You said; "I have already considered this, and the reason why I chose Yu Chi Baoqi is precisely because of this. If Baoqi can marry Ruoyu, Wei Chigong knows her true identity, and he will definitely keep his mouth shut for the sake of his son and daughter-in-law. ”
Liu Feixu praised: "It's still thoughtful Your Highness." ”
Li You said: "Today she just went to the military medical school, and suddenly asked her to go to the industrial city, this job has to be done by you." ”
Liu Feixu said: "Your Highness, don't worry, leave this matter to me." ”
Subsequently, I don't know how Liu Feiyu talked to Gu Ruoyu, anyway, Gu Ruoyu agreed to go to work in the Industrial City.
Eguo Mansion.
Yu Chi Baoqi specially returned home, and said excitedly to Yu Chi Gong and his mother Gao: "Daddy, Auntie, His Royal Highness King Qi really didn't say anything to me, he sent Gu Ruoyu to work in the secretariat of the Industrial City, so that I can get to know each other with her." ”
Wei Chigong said: "His Royal Highness King Qi does things, I have always admired them. Baoqi, you follow His Highness to do things, but don't let him down. ”
Yu Chi Baoqi said solemnly: "Daddy, the child knows." ”
The days passed, and Li You was busy all day long, and he had forgotten about Gu Ruoyu.
On this day, Xiao Wanyu said to Li You: "Brother You, Ruoyu has a good impression of Baoqi, I asked, she admires Baoqi very much, and has no objection to further dating him." When Gu Ruoyu arrived in the industrial city, he saw that Yu Chi Baoqi had a high prestige there, he was industrious, upright, and simple, and Gu Ruoyu was very similar, and the two had the same values and common language.
Yu Chi Baoqi took great care of Gu Ruoyu, and Gu Ruoyu gradually began to have a good impression of him.
Li You said with relief: "It's a good thing, wait for them to develop for a while, and if the conditions are ripe, they will be married." ”
One afternoon, Zhou Pan, the deputy head of the Hundred Cavalry Division, begged to see Li You, and he said: "Your Highness, I have been ordered to take the engraving craftsman Gu Qi and others to live in the mint, and the other craftsmen involved in the engraving have also been sent to the mint. ”
As soon as Li You heard it, he knew that Li Shimin was not at ease, and he wanted to take care of the people involved in printing banknotes. Although he felt that Li Shimin was making a big fuss, he also understood Li Shimin's worries, after all, the influence of paper money on the national economy and people's livelihood was too great, and there was nothing wrong with being careful.
Li You said: "Okay, you go to find Tian Min, and then take Gu Kun away." ”
Soon, Zhou Pan took Gu Kun.
Gu Ruoyu stayed in the Industrial City and came back every six days, and when she returned, she saw that Gu Qi had been picked up, so she rushed to the mint again.
This afternoon, Gu Ruoyu came, and not only she came. She was also followed by the families of the other three people involved in the engraving of the banknote plates. As soon as these people saw Li You, they knelt on the ground and cried.
Li You asked them to get up and talk, but they refused to get up, just knelt there and cried.
Li You asked, "What's wrong with you?" If it rains, you say. ”
Gu Ruoyu's face was also ugly, so she told the truth of the matter.
It turned out that the people involved in the engraving of banknote plates were placed under house arrest when they arrived at the banknote printing factory, and they were locked up in a courtyard, where they were served every day with fine clothes and food, and every month they were given a stipend delivered directly to their personal homes. However, they were not allowed to go out of the courtyard.
Their families wanted to visit them, and they were only allowed to see them once every six days, and when they met, there were several hundred horsemen around them, and it was no different from being in prison. Their family felt that it was unfair, so they came to Li You's house together.
Li You was very depressed, he said: "I will personally go to Your Majesty for this matter, you go back first, and I will send someone to inform you if there is news." ”
Except for Gu Ruoyu, everyone else left. Gu Ruoyu said indignantly: "How could that person be like this? It's just too much. She was referring to Li Shimin, who was full of resentment against Li Shimin's irresponsibility and ruthlessness.
Li You was speechless, he comforted her and said, "Don't think so much, I will persuade Your Majesty about this matter." ”
Liangyi Palace, study.
Li You reported to Li Shimin about the expansion of the special combat team, and Li Shimin agreed without asking much, and he proposed that Zhang Guigui be in command of the special combat team, and Li Shimin did not ask much and agreed. For Li You, Li Shimin's trust in him is really a model of the relationship between monarchs and ministers and father and son through the ages.
Li You said: "Father, there is one more thing about the sons and daughters, that is, about the people involved in the engraving of banknote plates, the sons feel that there is no need, each of these people is only involved in a process of engraving, and it is difficult for others to imitate banknote printing paper and special ink, so there is no need to put them under house arrest." ”
Li Shimin said: "The stakes are very high, and we must not be careless. These people have key secrets, and they can't let others have access to them, even if they are loyal to the court, but if someone persecutes them, or persecutes their families, who dares to guarantee that they will not divulge the secrets of the court? ”
Li You was gloomy, and he recalled that in later generations, in order to study nuclear weapons, those people had been incognito for decades, and this was the same reason. Of course, those people are voluntary, heroes of the nation.
For the benefit of the entire Datang, there is only one way to sacrifice these people. Li Shimin allowed them to meet with their families, which was already done benevolently.
Li You silently agreed with Li Shimin's point of view, and after he returned to the palace of the King of Qi, he called their family members and told them about the importance of engraving and printing plates for the national economy and people's livelihood, and said: "What your family is doing now is as glorious as those border guards guarding the Gobi in the high mountains and snowfields desert. ”
Then he told them what was at stake, saying, "The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty." If they weren't protected in the mint, someone would inevitably be attacking them. If they are threatened by those with ulterior motives and do not tell the secrets, they will definitely be murdered.
Once they are forced to leak state secrets, not only will he be sentenced to death, but even your family members will be implicated. Therefore, although the measures taken by the imperial court are somewhat unkind, they are very necessary. ”
The family members knew that what Li You said made sense, so they had to admit that they were unlucky.
Li You said: "In this way, the court will not forget their contributions." On the basis of the money given to them by the imperial court, I will give you another money, and I will take care of your family. Priority will be given to children's schooling, work and promotion. ”
The crowd expressed their gratitude. Li You told them not to mention this matter outside, so as to avoid being rumored by ill-intentioned people.
Immediately, Li You asked those involved in engraving the banknote plates and their families to sign confidentiality agreements.
Gu Ruoyu was in an extremely sad mood, her uncle was really bitter in this life, in order to raise herself, she didn't marry a wife in her life, dragged her disabled legs, and suffered too much. finally saw Gu Ruoyu grow up and start to live a happy life, but he encountered such a thing again.
Gu Ruoyu cried in front of Li You, but Li You didn't know how to comfort her.
Goshidai.
Wei Zheng's status was further improved, he not only had the title of prosecutor doctor, but also served as the Zhongshu servant, assisted Cen Wenwen in handling the affairs of Zhongshu Province, and continued to supervise the imperial history.
On this day, he received a report letter from Qinghe County, Beizhou, Hebei Province, which opened the prelude to a raging storm.
