Chapter 319 [Gatekeeper, Bell Ringer]
However, the middle-aged man laughed, and suddenly said: "The weather is too hot, Uncle will take you down to the river to take a bath, and when the wash is cool, we will cross the river to Bohai City, and from now on for the rest of our lives, the four of us will go together to live a good life." ”
The three children were instantly distracted, and Huanhuan shouted happily, "Okay, okay, take a cool bath......
The man carefully led them down the river, squatting in the water and splashing.
At this time, more and more people arrived, almost unanimously rushed into the river to get water, the coolness hit, frolicking, washing away the hardships of the trek, and the heart seemed to rise a bright moon.
"Uncle, uncle!"
The three children suddenly asked again, and chattered: "Your military salary has been spent, can we still live a good life in Bohai?" ”
The middle-aged man laughed, and his voice spread far away by the river, and his voice was too loud and cheerful, which immediately attracted the curiosity of hundreds of people.
I only heard the man say firmly: "Don't worry, Bohai City is not going to die, Bohai City is being built, there is a shortage of people everywhere, uncle, I don't have anything else, but I have two good strength, and when I take you there, uncle, I will immediately find a job to do it first......"
"Wouldn't it be hard to find?" Among the three children, the eldest baby was already a little sensible, and the child was obviously poor and afraid, and his tone couldn't help but become worried, and he said weakly: "There are a lot of people this time, can Bohai City have so much work?" ”
The child's words are unscrupulous, but with worries about life, the little child asks the voice of all the people.
On the banks of this river, there was suddenly silence.
The people who were still laughing and playing just now suddenly turned pale, they only thought that Bohai could live a good life, but they didn't think about whether Bohai City could accommodate so many people.
Tens of thousands of people dragged their families with their families, and it was impossible to rely on relief all the time.
If you can't find a job, how can you live?
The middle-aged man was obviously stunned, and he suddenly became a little worried.
He vaguely remembered that there seemed to be no shortage of people in the Bohai Kingdom, and there were millions of people who surrendered to those barbarians alone, and there were two conscriptions in Shandong and Hebei, adding up to one million, and there were also those who returned from Goguryeo's rescue, almost all of whom became the subjects of the Bohai Kingdom.
Also, it is said that the steppe Turks are also relatives of the lord of the Bohai Sea, and those Turks have already tasted the sweetness, and they will go with the lord of the Bohai Sea.
Thinking about it this way, there is really no shortage of manpower in Bohai State.
The middle-aged man's heart trembled, and his face became pale unconsciously.
If he can't find a job, how can he raise his three little nephews?
He fell to Liaodong for 30 years, and when he returned, his parents were no longer there, and even his brothers and sisters-in-law died of hard work, leaving only three bloodlines to sell themselves into slavery......
He spent all the rewards of the lord of Bohai, and finally redeemed his three nephews, he was not ready to marry in this life, so he wanted to raise his three nephews as adults......
But what if you can't find a job?
At this time, I suddenly heard a voice not far away, and said lightly: "Are you looking for a job?" Why don't I introduce you to one! ”
The voice was flat and bland, it seemed to be leisurely, the middle-aged man was stunned at first, and suddenly his face burst out with strong surprise, he almost blurted out, and said in a trembling voice: "Country... Lord of the Kingdom! ”
But listening to the rushing water, a few figures faintly swam upstream, and one of the young men reached out and wiped a handful of water droplets on his face, looked at him with a smile and said: "I have been a slave for 30 years, and I still remember my hometown unforgettable." On the day he got out, he laughed, and he gave up all his wealth because of his nephew. A man like you has loyalty in your bones, you can treat your nephew as your own child, and you must be able to take care of other poor children sincerely, it just so happens that the lord of the country needs such a group of people, it seems that you are very suitable for a certain position. ”
The person who spoke was none other than Li Yun.
Poof!
The middle-aged man didn't think about it, and the whole person fell to his knees directly in the river.
The man looked excited, and seemed to be ashamed in his excitement, and said, "Lord, the villain has seen you again!" ”
"I remember you!"
Li Yun smiled, looked at him and said: "A year ago, I attacked Goguryeo Shinmaru City, at that time you were a folk man who fell to Liaodong, but you dared to take a big sword and fight bravely, you hacked two Goguryeo soldiers to death, and the lord of your country gave you twenty copper coins, right?" ”
The man just kept kowtowing in the water, and suddenly burst into tears, choking up: "If it weren't for your appearance, the villain would have been just a slave in this life, but I escaped from Bohai City......"
Li Yun didn't answer this question, but looked at the three little boys who were cowering, and suddenly said with deep meaning: "It shouldn't cost a lot of money to redeem the three children, and it only takes five or six times to return to Guanlong from the Bohai Sea, and it only takes five or six times to entangle, with your hard-working tenacity, it is estimated that you can't even spend five or six times, but just now the three children said that you spent all the money......
Li Yun paused here when he said this, and then said: "The lord of the country dares to guess here, you should have spent your money elsewhere, for example, returning to your homeland, you saw that the former villagers were poor, so you gave them all your money, right?" ”
The man hung his head and said, "They have taken care of the villain's father, after all, I have been away from home for more than 30 years!" ”
Li Yun nodded and said, "Twenty yuan of money, thank the villagers for thirty years of care, it's not much......
The man said 'um' and said honestly: "The villain doesn't think it's too much." ”
Li Yun smiled again, and suddenly stopped talking to him, but turned his head to look behind him, and said leisurely: "Second uncle, are you greedy?" ”
The question was headless and brainless, but there was an answer in the water behind him, but it turned out to be Li Shimin swimming shirtless, and there were several important ministers of the Tang Dynasty around him, but listening to the emperor's serious tone, he said solemnly: "This person is very good, loyal and grateful, even if he has never studied, he has errands to use." ”
"Look at you, you're hungry!" Li Yun laughed, and suddenly deliberately pretended to be proud: "It's a pity, I met it first, this subordinate, I will use it first." ”
Li Shimin glanced at the man, smiled and said, "I won't rob you." ”
After speaking, he swam slowly to other places, and the people in the place where he passed were frightened.
Li Yun looked at the emperor's figure, and then turned his gaze back, at this time the middle-aged man was still kneeling in the water, and the three little dolls were carefully hiding behind the man.
Li Yun sighed lightly and said, "Your loyal character should be of great use, but the lord of the country thinks that it is also a good thing to be of small use, and there is a position that is definitely very suitable for you to do." ”
The middle-aged man did not hesitate and said loudly: "The lord of the country can let me die." ”
He didn't even ask Li Yun what he wanted him to do.
He didn't ask, but Li Yun answered by himself, and said leisurely: "The lord of the country has an idea, I want to build a thousand Mengtong primary schools in Bohai, but all school-age children must be enrolled in school, you have no ability to teach, but you can do something else!" ”
After a slight pause, he continued: "A thousand elementary schools need a thousand people who ring the bell, and this position is very small, but it is the first person the children see when they enter school, and when the children come home from school, the last person to leave is the gatekeeper, so in my opinion, this position is very important." The one who rings the bell at the door is also a good teacher, who takes care of the child's childhood, and the ringing of the bell inspires the ......"
The middle-aged man didn't understand these big truths, but he understood what Li Yun asked him to do? But seeing that this man did not hesitate to bow down, he said with a firm face: "Don't worry, the villain promises to watch the door and ring the bell in this life." ”
Li Yun looked at the three children behind him, and said softly: "Yu Lu, Yue is consistent." ”
Salary?
Month consistently?
This is an extremely heavy treatment, even comparable to the officials of the Tang Dynasty.
But the middle-aged man didn't pay too much attention to the treatment, but was a little shocked by the words used by Li Yun, but when he saw him look up in amazement, he subconsciously said: "Yu Lu? How does the villain get a good fortune? ”
The person who receives the money must be an official.
Who knew that Li Yun smiled leisurely and said meaningfully: "Who said that it is not an official to watch the door and ring the bell?" ”
The middle-aged man is in the water.
When he excused himself again, he saw that Li Yun had already swam away, and it seemed that the direction he was running in was the emperor's side, and the middle-aged man naturally did not dare to swim up.
He could only hug his three nephews with gratitude on his face.
……
Li Shimin looked leisurely at Li Yun's swimming water and came back, and suddenly asked lightly, "Is the appeasement done?" ”
Without waiting for Li Yun to answer, the emperor suddenly sighed softly and said: "As a prince, self-defeating identity, this move is certainly detrimental to majesty, but it is also a good strategy, after all, tens of thousands of people are worried about their livelihoods, and you can personally appease a middle-aged man, which can make the people feel at ease." ”
Li Yun shook his head lightly and said softly: "Your Majesty, you are wrong, the minister didn't mean to appease ......"
He used the titles of His Majesty and the ministers, and did not call Li Shimin's second uncle.
The emperor's face suddenly became solemn.
