Chapter 240: Li Tai's Fear
At this time, the post-disaster reconstruction work was in full swing.
His Royal Highness the King of Shu is indeed a believer.
All the profits from this gambling were taken out, and the materials purchased to rebuild the village were piled up.
This time, the gambling profit was more than 70 million yuan.
If converted to the renminbi of later generations, it will be about 150 million.
Well, well, if it is in the future generations, this money may not be enough to support the post-disaster reconstruction of 11 villages and more than 10,000 people.
But at the time, it was definitely more than enough.
Take building a house as an example, the most expensive one may be labor costs in later generations.
But at the time, labor was extremely cheap.
Because the people they use are the more than 10,000 plague victims.
Except for the elderly and children and the dozen or so people whose legs were broken, almost every one of them could be put to use.
Needless to say, the women cooked, and even the children helped with mud and bricks.
Well, it's worth mentioning that their old houses were all mud and grass houses.
And now? The materials that the king of Shu gave them were all green bricks!
This time, they are considered the blessing of the king of Shu, and they can live in a brick house.
Moreover, they are building a house for themselves, and the king of Shu actually pays three cents a day per person, and even those women give two cents a day.
Those half-grown children, as long as they are working, will be paid at least a penny.
In addition, I will manage three meals a day.
This kind of treatment made those villagers embarrassed.
They build their own houses and get paid, and they really have a bad conscience.
But Shangguan Yi said that this was the order of the King of Shu.
The water is merciless, and there is love in the world!
Think about the benevolence and righteousness of the King of Shu, and think about their previous misunderstanding of the King of Shu, which makes these people's gratitude to the King of Shu to the point of no return.
They used to treat the King of Shu like this before, and the King of Shu was still so good to them!
King Shu, what a living bodhisattva who saves suffering!
At this time, the raw materials are not expensive, and the labor money is also very cheap.
In fact, Li Su can say the past even if he doesn't pay these people.
It is already very good to build them a new house, and even if they don't pay them, those people will still be grateful to him.
But now the funds are very abundant, and after the water, especially in the first village, the family is already destitute.
These wages can at least allow them to live for a while.
……
Now Li Su is very busy, and he has to be busy teaching those officials in the household department every day.
Those officials in the household department have to change a group of people to attend classes every day.
As a result, every time, Li Su has to start from the beginning.
And these household officials are not very receptive.
After all, they are all adults, and some of them are even forty or fifty years old.
Their ability to accept new things is definitely worse than that of teenagers.
And Li Su's temper is not good, so in the classroom, there are often scenes where Li Su slaps the palms of those household officials with a straight face.
These primary school students, led by Cheng Chuliang, were all elated and applauded.
……
At this time, Yue Wang Li Tai has not been in a good mood recently.
On this day, the anxious Li Tai couldn't help but invite his henchman Wei Ting over.
After Wei Ting arrived, Li Tai couldn't help but give Wei Ting a deep sigh: "This king is in trouble, please teach me sir!" ”
Wei Ting hurriedly avoided Li Tai's salute, and then asked Zhengse, "I don't know why Your Highness is like this?" ”
Li Tai couldn't help frowning and said: "My father named Li Su as the king of Shu, and this king heard that he may go to Shu next year." And Shu has a very close relationship with this king, and once he goes, the situation of this king will be precarious. ”
Well?
Hearing Li Tai's words, Wei Ting's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help but show a thoughtful look.
Although Wei Ting is Li Tai's confidant and strategist, Wei Ting actually doesn't know everything about Li Tai.
For example, Li Tai and the officials of Shu are still deeply implicated, and Wei Ting doesn't know about this kind of thing.
Therefore, when he heard Li Tai's words, Wei Ting would show this expression on his face.
Wei Ting couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, I don't know how close the relationship is between you and Yizhou Thorn Shi Lin Xuan?" ”
Li Tai couldn't help crying and said, "Three years ago, Lin Lu found this king and wanted to take refuge in this king. At that time, the king was anxious to expand his power, so he accepted Lin Lu. And in the past few years, Lin Li's filial piety every year has also been a lot. ”
"Sir, you also know that the expenses of my palace are very large, and it is not enough to just count on the food seal. Therefore, Lin Li's filial piety every year is very important to the palace, and every time there is an impeachment of Lin Li, I am secretly suppressed. ”
"What this king is worried about now is that if this Lin Li's butt is not clean, when Li Xuan, the king of Shu, arrives in Yizhou and investigates and punishes Lin Lu, he will pull out the radish and bring out the mud!"
Hearing Li Tai's words, Wei Ting couldn't help but shake his head in his heart.
This king of Yue is brilliant and brilliant, but in terms of standing, there are still many deficiencies.
Of course, if a person is not a sage, who can be without fault? He himself is not a saint.
As if he saw Wei Ting's dissatisfaction, Li Tai couldn't help but say: "Sir, this king didn't mean to hide it, it's just this matter-"
Wei Ting couldn't help but say: "Your Highness, I can understand this matter, Your Highness doesn't need to explain." In fact, His Highness does not need to worry about this matter. ”
Li Tai couldn't help but hesitate and asked, "What do you mean, sir?" ”
Wei Ting smiled slightly: "Now the emperor is very fond of the king of Shu, and Shu is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, and is facing the pressure of Tubo, Tuyuhun and Nanzhao, I think that when the king of Shu is finally official, the emperor will definitely not let him go to Shu." ”
"If nothing else, the place of the official of the king of Shu should be in the closest place to Chang'an, such as Shannan Road or Henan Road. So, Your Highness doesn't have to worry. ”
Listening to Wei Ting's words, Li Tai couldn't help but show a thoughtful look on his face.
And Wei Ting smiled slightly: "Your Highness, what's more, even if Li Su, the king of Shu, is really an official of Shu." Could he be able to fight Lin Lu, who has been operating in Shu for ten years? Haha, this Lin Luo, but an old fox! This Lin Luo is self-respecting in raising bandits in Yizhou, and has almost become the emperor of the land and the ruler, this person is definitely not simple. ”
After listening to Wei Ting's words, Li Tai was even more surprised.
It turns out that this Lin Lu is so bold and rampant.
When he decided to accept Lin Lu, he really should have discussed it with Mr. Wei.
If there was a discussion at the beginning, knowing Wei Ting's true face, he shouldn't have been so close to him!
