For several days, Duhe did not go to court.

Just when everyone thought that Du He was planning to leave it alone, on this day, Du He personally went to court.

Along the way, quite a few people greeted him.

When they learned that Du He was here to report to His Majesty today, when they saw Du He empty-handed, everyone couldn't help but wonder.

This work-for-relief matter is related to the resettlement of tens of thousands of victims in Chang'an City, and even His Majesty was shocked.

The early dynasty officially began, and when Li Er saw Du He, he took the lead in asking: "Uncle of Hubei County, how are you prepared for the work for relief?" ”

Du He stood up and said: "Your Majesty, with the unremitting efforts of the ministers, the matter of cash-for-work is progressing smoothly, and today, I am here to report to Your Majesty." ”

"Okay, you can hear about it." Li Er nodded.

Du He said slowly: "After Chang'an County ordered Xu Zhiyuan and Lord Xu to organize hundreds of people for a period of time, now, the basic situation of the victims in Chang'an City has been fully figured out. At present, there are 31,415 people in Chang'an, of whom 25,400 are men, 6,100 are women, more than 20,000 are able-bodied, and 27,000 can participate in the cash-for-work project......"

The number of numbers that flickered in a row, everyone was stunned when they heard it, but Du He came as soon as he opened his mouth, without the slightest mistake.

Li Er listened, nodded again and again, and said happily: "Okay, Du He, you did a good job, at the beginning, several adults also said that the methods you adopted were too rough and easy to provoke the people's uprising, but I didn't expect that your quick way of cutting through the mess was so effective, and it only took a few days to find out all the situation of the victims, which really made me happy." ”

"Your Majesty Xie's praise," Du He said without humility or arrogance, "Now, this first step of the work has ended, and the cash-for-work project can be started, and the minister has drafted a detailed plan, and it will be sent to the palace in a few days for His Majesty's reference, but the matter of the victims, the sooner it is solved, the better, and if it is delayed for one more day, there will be many unstable factors, therefore, the minister entered the palace today, one is to report the work, and the other is to announce to all of you that from today, the work for relief work will officially begin." ”

After a pause, Du He continued: "Your Majesty, my lords, more than 27,000 victims of the disaster can participate in the cash-for-work relief, the number is huge, unprecedented, and it is a little difficult to hire so many people through various projects. ”

Everyone looked confused.

When Li Er heard this, he seemed to think of something: "Duhe, you have something to say." ”

Du He nodded: "For the prosperity of the Great Tang Society, and for His Majesty to sit back and relax, I suggest that the Minister of Chinese and Military Affairs of the DPRK be mobilized, hire the disaster victims, and contribute money and strength to jointly solve such a huge number of disaster victims." In short, there must still be a shortage of manpower in the houses or shops of all the adults, and even if there is no shortage of manpower, there is always no shortage of food rations for a few people, so I plan to solve a group of employed people first, that is, please hire these disaster victims, do not need to pay wages, only need to take care of food and housing. ”

Li Er's eyes lit up.

The ministers nodded approvingly.

"What a good idea!"

"It's a great idea to kill two birds with one stone without having to pay wages and at the same time providing a bite to eat for the victims."

"The old man agrees very much."

At this time, someone asked: "Dare to ask the county magistrate, how many people do we need to hire?" ”

Du He smiled slightly: "Combined with the situation I have learned before, I need everyone's help to solve the employment problem of 5,000 people." ”

Wow.

Five thousand?

Everyone was dumbfounded.

There were less than a hundred people present.

Even if it is evenly divided, each person has to hire more than 50 people?

Even if he is as wealthy as the eldest grandson Wuji, etc., he can't afford to hire fifty people in one go.

It's okay to have a few more mouths to eat, but fifty mouths, the daily food consumption, is not a small number.

Now, no one spoke.

Seeing this, Li Er said: "Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for everyone to share their worries about me, let's talk about it." ”

And they all buried their heads down.

Li Er also had a headache when he saw it.

You can't force everyone to hire disaster victims.

Du He had been prepared for this, laughed, and said, "It seems that your lords are frightened by this number? Since no one spoke, then I will make a statement first, I Duhe received the emperor's grace, became the county lord of Huyi, and was more trusted by His Majesty, as the commander-in-chief of the work-for-relief program, of course, I must lead by example and set an example, yes, I decided to hire 2,000 people to work in my dream group first, even if I Duhe does not eat, I must give the rations to the victims to eat, even if I Duhe is hungry, I will never bear to let the victims have no food. ”

These words are impassioned and righteous.

It shook everyone up.

Five thousand people, Du He hired two thousand in one go?

That's almost halfway there.

Many people are very puzzled, Du He is crazy, right?

So many people, the food consumed every day is amazing, and they also need to provide shelter?

Even Li Er was a little unconvinced, and thought that Du He was joking.

But I heard Du He say: "If you don't believe it, you can supervise it at any time, and if I Du He hires one less person, you can point to my Du He's backbone and scold." ”

Bang.

I saw Li Er smash his fist on the table, stood up excitedly, pointed at Du He, and said loudly: "Okay...... Okay, the pillar of the country, the pillar of the country, Du He, I really didn't misunderstand you...... Ladies and gentlemen, take a good look, this is the courage of Du He, I have announced that I will hire three hundred men into the palace, and all expenses will be allocated from my inner treasury. ”

Li Chengqian also stood up and said, "Father, my son is willing to save money and hire fifty people to the East Palace." ”

Li Tai, the king of Yue, was not to be outdone: "Erchen happens to have some industries under his subordinates, and when he heard the words of the county lord of Huyi, he was so moved that he was willing to hire a hundred people." ”

With Li Er and others taking the lead, how could the ministers dare to be silent, so they expressed their positions one after another.

"The minister is willing to hire thirty people!"

"Hire twenty people!"

"Eighty people are employed!"

……

In less than a moment, the remaining 3,000 people were divided.

The wealthy eldest grandson Wuji directly hired 280 people, if he didn't dare to be on par with Li Er, this guy originally planned to hire 300 people.

Li Erlong's face was happy, and he said happily: "At this moment, I ...... I deeply feel the loyalty of all the lovers! You are loyal, what about the drought, hahaha......"

Li Er's laughter echoed in the hall for a long time.

Everyone patted their ass, saying that this was a harbinger of the coming prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

Du He stood in the middle of the crowd with an evil smile on the corner of his mouth.
