Chapter 59: Li Jie Lectures
Han Jian ordered people to pack up their belongings and move out of the Shuai Mansion, and he still had two other courtyards in the city. "Your Highness has arrived!" With a shout, Li Jie walked in, and Han Jian hurriedly saluted. Li Jie smiled and said, "Excuse me, the old general, this king has something to ask for today!" Han Jian hurriedly said, "Don't dare!" Your Highness, please speak! ”
Li Jie said: "This king is bothered, please ask the old general to find a place for this king!" Han Jian was stunned! Li Jie hurriedly said, "The Shuai Mansion is vast, and this king wants to build a academy." As for the king, it is enough to have a place to live. Han Jian was shocked, "Your Highness, no!" How can His Royal Highness bend to Jingui! Li Jie smiled: "The general doesn't have to be like this!" Just do it! ”
Han Jian had no choice but to hurriedly order someone to clean up the largest courtyard, and he moved to the smaller courtyard. When Li Jie entered the courtyard, several maids hurriedly knelt down to greet him. The courtyard is quite large, and the cleaning is good. The house in the front yard is enough for Li Jie's office, and the backyard is a three-entry yard, with a garden and pond.
The streets are full of people and have returned to their former prosperity. There was no more panic on people's faces, and businesses were open again. "Bang, bang," the two officials knocked the gong and walked over unhurriedly.
"Receive the Order of the King of Shou!" A servant shouted loudly, and everyone trembled, "Don't you want to apportionment again." The official shouted, "Lord Assassin Shi told me that all merchants under the rule of King Shou will take one out of fifteen commercial taxes, and all farmland will be rented for 100 catties per mu, and all forced labor will be cancelled and hired by the government at the expense of the government!" With a "coax", the two officials were surrounded, "Brother Guancha, is it really one out of fifteen business taxes?" A restaurant shopkeeper asked, and the two officials said with a smile, "His Royal Highness King Shou loves the people, this is all true!" Then the two of them cried loudly, "I don't have to exploit the merchants anymore, and I have a fixed amount of silver every month." And children can also participate in scientific examinations! I'm not a cheap person anymore! "It's messy, it's all messy! The whole city is in chaos!
The official who was hated in the past became the guest of honor in the restaurant, surrounded by people on the third floor and the third floor outside, and everyone was full of excitement, listening to the officials. On this day, the owners of the restaurant lost all their money. But everyone had a smile on their faces.
The next day, to the surprise of the people, the guards outside the palace were gone, the plaque on the door was taken down, and many craftsmen were busy coming in and out. On the third day, a new plaque was hung up, and the four big characters of "Gewu Academy" blinded the eyes of countless people.
Li Jie didn't care so much, he had already sent someone to Weizhou to pick up the nurse and Xing'er. I haven't seen him for a few days, and Li Jie has some thoughts. Manniang has returned from the wounded barracks and is by Li Jie's side.
Zhao Dezhao led the troops to set off, and the goal was Cangzhou. When passing by Zhaojiazhuang, Zhao Dezhao entered the village and convened a meeting of the whole clan. When everyone heard that the head of the family was named the head of the rear army, they were overjoyed.
Looking at everyone, Zhao Dezhao said: "His Royal Highness valued me, named me the commander of the rear army, and gave me my name." My Zhao family must obey His Highness unconditionally. From this day onwards, all rents shall be levied at the rate of 100 catties per mu, and shall not be violated. This article should be written into the family rules, and the violators will be expelled from the Zhao family. Looking at the stunned crowd, Zhao Dezhao said again, "Your Highness allows us to invest in the United Chamber of Commerce, and I will give each family three hundred taels here, and you will decide how much you want!" ”
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, and they all thanked him. Zhao Dezhao said again, "I will take the children of the family who are willing to join the army, but when they enter the barracks, they must abide by the rules of the barracks. If you are willing to go to the academy, I will write a note, and you can take it to Dean Zhao and ask him to arrange for you. But I reiterate one more thing, His Royal Highness is extremely disgusted with people who rely on power, so the children of the Zhao family must think well and must not act recklessly! ”
"Tomorrow our army will be opened, and you can reply to me tomorrow!" After a pause, Zhao Dezhao said again: "After I leave tomorrow, you will go to Bozhou to find Lord Shiwang, and ask him to prepare rabbits for you, a pair of tenants per family" Finally, an old man spoke: "The head of the family, if only one hundred per mu is collected, then how should I live, and how many dividends can the Chamber of Commerce share?" If those tenants only charge a hundred, then why bother to prepare breeding rabbits? ”
Zhao Dezhao said, "Tomorrow I will lead the troops to the battle, I will not explain, I will go to Weicheng and Xinxiang tomorrow to have a good look." But I hope you will strictly abide by it after reading it, because it will be related to the rise and fall of my Zhao family! In addition, in the future, I will often lead troops to fight abroad, and you will nominate one for the position of patriarch! ”
Everyone bowed, and Zhao Dezhao got up, "Okay, I still have something to do in the barracks, go first!" And they sent him all the way to the outside of the village, and each of them went back to his room to discuss.
The next day, several children of the Zhao family came to the barracks and entered the camp to see Zhao Dezhao. "You can think clearly, I will let you be a soldier first, and then you will be rewarded for meritorious deeds!" Several people arched their hands and said, "General, think clearly." Zhao Dezhao beckoned, and Zhao Yufan arched his hand, "General!" Zhao Dezhao said, "Arrange for them to train first, and then arrange it after a month!" Zhao Yufan arched his hand! ”
Several large armies went all the way forward, Han Wen's plan was very successful, and the local troops of Chengde Henghai were empty, and several large armies were almost not resisted. All local officials, except for corrupt officials, remain in office, but they need to be observed for one year. Everywhere he went, he immediately issued a proclamation to publicize the policies formulated by Li Jie, because he took care of the interests of everyone, so Li Jie's reputation was very high.
Li Jie doesn't care about this, the nurse and Xing'er are already here, pestering Li Jie all day long to go out. Li Jie became a porter again, and even the four guards who were forcibly arranged by Liu Qi were also arrested.
The 50,000 troops recruited have been distributed to various places, but the troops are still somewhat insufficient, so after Li Jie and others discussed, 100,000 troops were recruited again. After nearly a year, Li Jie's policy has shown its effect. The common people had surplus food, the gentry waited for dividends, and more and more people were employed in commercial handicrafts.
As soon as the conscription order came out, the people responded positively. It took only three days to recruit 50,000 people. Hundreds of veterans began rigorous training for these 50,000 people.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and Li Jie sent documents to all places, asking them to prepare for snow disasters. At the same time, several coal mines were ordered to step up production to ensure that the people survived the winter safely.
On this day, Li Jie ordered Liu Ziyu to find a few coppersmiths, hand over a set of drawings to them, and let them make them. After carefully talking to the craftsmen, the next day the things were placed in front of Li Jie. Li Jie ordered someone to scrub it carefully and put the things on the table. Xing'er and Manniang asked curiously, "Your Highness, what is this?" ”
Li Jie smiled, "This thing is a hot pot, and it tastes very delicious!" The two girls immediately ordered someone to prepare things, and according to Li Jie's request, vegetables and mutton were set on the table. Li Jie invited the nurse to come, and the family sat together and ate happily. The sky was also funny, and light snow began to fall, turning the ground white.
Li Jie ordered someone to find President Ma, "Come, President Ma has a taste!" President Ma hurriedly got up, "Your Highness, it's time to torture the old slave!" Li Jie patted President Ma on the shoulder, "It doesn't have to be like this, you are doing well in the Chamber of Commerce." Solved a big problem for me! President Ma arched his hand and said, "This is the duty of the old slave!" Li Jie pointed to the hot pot again and said, "I will give you the drawings of this thing in a while, and the Chamber of Commerce can have more products." Now come to dinner with us! "President Ma bowed his hand" Thank you, Your Highness! ”
On the spot, Li Jie dragged the two girls into the house, and the three of them were lying on the bed and whispering. Manniang touched Li Jie's head up and down with her hand, and Xing'er asked, "Manniang, what are you doing?" Manniang replied, "I'll see how His Highness's head grows, why there are so many ideas and so many things in his head!" ”
Li Jie slapped Manniang's hand with his hand, "Little girl's skin, you have to use it with a long head, otherwise you will become a fool!" The three of them laughed and slowly fell asleep.
Gewu Academy has been built, and many students are already living in the school. But Li Jie was not satisfied, people's thinking in this era was still too backward, and Li Jie decided to teach them a lesson.
Li Jie prepared for two days and sent someone to inform Zhao Fei. On this day, Li Jie came to school, and a large room was crowded with students, and even the windows were full of students. Li Jie just walked over, and the students saluted together, "Welcome Your Highness!" Che Jie waved his hand, "No courtesy!" ”
Walking up to the podium, Li Jie looked at the students below and said, "As literate people, you are thoughtful. Today I will not tell you about the things in books, but I want you to think and discover. ”
Li Jie pointed to the guy who was boiling water in the corner, "Why does the water he boils open the lid, can we use it?" ”
Then he took out the paint, painted the green, and then added the yellow. In the eyes of the crowd, he stirred it with a brush, and then wrote a person's words. It's actually black. "Why is this happening?" Li Jie asked.
"Don't always take it for granted, you are readers, and readers should see more, think more, and do more. Don't always turn a blind eye to what's going on outside the window and concentrate on reading only the books of the sages. Sages are also called sages after a lot of things, thinking and practice. ”
"What we're using now, what we're seeing. It's not something that can't be changed, and it's not what you see. Try to research, you guys will discover a different world! ”
Li Jie left, leaving the contemplative student behind. When he returned to the mansion, he called President Ma again, "Your Highness, the old slave is here," President Ma came in and kowtowed, Li Jie helped him up, and said, "In the name of the Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber of Commerce will pay one hundred taels of silver for all the products selected by the Chamber of Commerce, and the Chamber of Commerce will pay the owner a penny for every commodity sold!" President Ma arched his hand and said, "The old slave will do it right away when he goes back!" ”
Li Jie also ordered Liu Qi to issue a proclamation, and all the things brought could be selected by Gewu Academy, and the academy would pay one hundred taels of silver.
The proclamation was sent to various places and aroused heated discussions among the people. A lot of strange things were sent and sent away. Although there is nothing Li Jie likes, people are beginning to learn to create things, some small ideas, some small changes are still slowly changing people's lives!
