Chapter 361: Debate
More than a dozen students from Chang'an were stupid to listen to it, and after saying for a long time, they dared to love themselves, and these people all became coolies? One by two, they came here to work for this 'ancestor'?
But as the saying goes, the goods die on the ground, and they themselves know that they will never dare to return to Chang'an without the emperor's order, and stay in Shuozhou with Li Muyun's character, if they are disobedient, it is estimated that they can play to death.
So even if they were treated as coolies, these dozen or so people could only accept their fate, and followed Li Muyun down the mountain one by one with their heads down.
No way, go to the construction site, it is naturally not possible to live in the cottage, in order to facilitate the office, you can only live near the construction site.
……
There was nothing to say all the way, and when he arrived at Lijia Town at the foot of the mountain, Li Muyun took his dozen students to a simple courtyard with strange fruit trees in the middle of the town. ”
"Envoy, what's the matter?" Facing Li Muyun's voice, the door of the only room in the small courtyard was pushed open from the inside, and a young man walked out of it.
Li Muyun had already walked to his side at this time, stood side by side with him, and pointed to the dozen or so frowning students who followed behind him: "Didn't you say that there was a shortage of people a few days ago, and today I brought you people, all of them are students of Taixue, you can see if it is enough!" ”
"Taixue students?" Fang Yizhi glanced at Li Muyun very unexpectedly, then turned his head to look at the dozen or so people, and soon found a familiar figure from it, and immediately took a few steps forward and came to the person: "Frugal? Why did you come to Shuozhou? ”
"Brother Zhizhi, I ......" Pei Xingjian looked at Fang Zhizhi, and complained to his lips but found that he couldn't say anything, so he could only sigh: "It's hard to say!" ”
Fang Yizhi has been in Shanyin County for nearly a year, and he is much more mature than before, and when he saw that Pei Xingjian seemed to have something unspeakable, he didn't ask much, just nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then there will be a chance to talk about it in the future!" ”
"Hmm!" Pei Xingjian nodded, although he didn't say the grievances in his heart, but the joy of meeting his old acquaintance in a foreign country made his mood a lot better.
Other people actually know Fang Zhizhi, but their family status is too low, and they have nothing to do with Fang Zhizhi, the top son of Chang'an, even if they do, they dare not rush forward to talk.
However, Li Muyun was a little curious when he saw that they were chatting well, so he stepped forward and asked, "Zhizhi, who is this?" Own? ”
"It's my own person, born in Pei Shi, Hedong, his father is Pei Renji, a famous general of the former dynasty, and he has a lot of friendship with my father." Fang Yizhi's name is really not wrong, it is really straight, and three or two sentences shook Pei Xingjian's old bottom clean.
However, Li Muyun's historical knowledge is really lacking, whether it is Pei Renji or Pei Xingjian, it is the same for him - he knows nothing. Otherwise, he should have known a long time ago that Pei Xingjian was not an ordinary figure, he was the future prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.
Pei Xingjian, who was lifted off, was a little embarrassed, but after glancing at Li Muyun, he still didn't say anything, just smiled wryly.
There is no way, the students of Class Ding have been tossed out of the psychological shadow by Li Muyun when they were in Chang'an, after all, the master in front of him who will kill people with a knife if he doesn't agree with him, if there is no need, it is better not to provoke him.
Fang Yizhi didn't say anything after he lifted Pei Xingjian's old bottom, compared to some messy things, he was more concerned about how to repair the current road.
So he soon changed the topic and said to Li Muyun: "Lord Envoy, there are more and more people involved in road construction at the moment, and it is becoming more and more troublesome when counting, how do you think this matter needs to be solved?" ”
"That's your problem, I can't manage so much, and now I've brought it to you. But let's talk about it first, each person only has a monthly salary of 500 Wen per month, and he can take care of food and housing, but he will deduct money for lost work, and he will also deduct money for leave, and the standard will be set by you! ”
"There's no problem with that!" Fang Yi nodded straightly, the so-called emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, more than ten people, six or seven yuan per month, for the entire Shuozhou project, it is simply a drop in the bucket.
What he really cares about is the progress of the project and the excessive participation of the people, after all, Datang is still a country dominated by agriculture, and the people do not farm land to build roads.
So after a short hesitation, Fang Yi stopped Li Muyun, who wanted to leave: "Lord Jun, there is one thing that the lower officials don't understand, I wonder if the lower officials can solve their doubts?" ”
Li Muyun turned his head when he heard this, and glanced at Fang Yizhi: "Did I say I don't know, so you won't ask?" ”
"My lord, the lower official is serious." Fang Yi said with a stiff neck.
"Okay, you can say it!" Li Muyun spread his hands and said.
"My lord, why do you have to let the people of Datang participate in the construction of the road? This will delay the agricultural season and reduce grain production in the future, don't you think this will lose the national capital? ”
"What's this, everyone has their own way of living, just like you like to read, and I, Li Muyun, like to sleep, but are we all starving? Didn't you? ”
Fang Yizhi was not taken off topic by Li Muyun, but just looked at him fixedly and said, "My lord, we are discussing the foundation of the country. ”
"The will of the people is the foundation of the country, and the will of the people is the Tang Dynasty." Li Muyun shook his head and said: "As for farming or working, in fact, there is no difference, they are all contributing their own strength to the country, and your concept itself is wrong." ”
"But if the people don't farm, then what will we eat?" Fang Zhizhi didn't think he was wrong, and he didn't take into account the surrounding environment, and more than a dozen students from Taixue around him directly deviated the atmosphere of the small courtyard, making Xiao Fang think that he was back in the debate meeting above the school again.
"It's just that you generalize, the place where you should farm will still farm, and the place where you should work will work, you have always heard the sentence of doing what you can, we are located here in northern Xinjiang, and it is not a place to produce grain, even if the people all go to farm, how much do you think the yield can be increased? Can it be doubled? ”
Li Muyun's sentence of 'do what you can' made Fang Yizhi realize something, lowered his head and stopped talking.
Shuozhou is indeed not a big grain producing state in Datang, and the grain grown is not even enough to pay taxes in many cases.
