Chapter 00054: Zhao Shuo's Plan
Wang Gu looked at Zhao Shuo, a little nervous in his heart, he not only expected Zhao Shuo to say a perfect plan, but also hoped that Zhao Shuo would say a plan that was not bullshit. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Saying the perfect strategy can help him solve the current refugee problem, and if he doesn't, he can reduce the threat to Emperor Gaozong's throne.
As a result, Wang Gu, who had come to seek countermeasures, was in a rather contradictory mood at the moment.
Zhao Shuo didn't have time to pay attention to Wang Gu at this time, because, waiting for this day, he had been waiting for several days.
"Lord Wang, you must know the number of refugees, how difficult this matter is, I don't need to tell me." Zhao Shuo looked at Wang Gu and spoke.
"Your Highness, you want tea." Fluttershy arrives with a teapot and a teacup in tow.
After Fluttershy pours tea for both Wang Gu and Zhao Shuo, Zhao Shuo speaks. "Fluttershy, you've been busy all day, go down and rest."
Fluttershy bows sensibly and steps out of the backyard.
Zhao Shuo and Wang Gu were left in the backyard again, Zhao Shuo took a sip of tea, and then looked at Wang Gu again.
Wang Gu seemed to be thinking, his brows tightened, and he sighed for a while before he got up and said. "If His Royal Highness can solve the scourge of the refugees in Lin'an, His Royal Highness will owe His Highness a favor, and when His Highness is in need, His Highness will go to the soup and fight the fire, and he will not give up."
Wang Gu said such a serious thing, which really caught Zhao Shuo off guard. Because he watched too many TV series and movies, Zhao Shuo felt that even if Wang Gu expressed his position, he would only say some high-sounding words, such as the people would be grateful for virtue and worship at home in the future, and Gaozong would definitely add him to the rank of knight and so on.
But what Wang Gu said was that he owed Zhao Shuo a favor, and he would have a chance in the future and respond to his request.
Zhao Shuo thought about it, although there were fewer opportunities, it was better than saying some high-sounding words.
Thinking of this, Zhao Shuo hurriedly got up and said with a smile. "Lord Wang is serious, and it is our duty to appease the refugees."
Wang Gu was extremely depressed in his heart, it was obviously Zhao Shuo who lost his appetite and forced him to make such a suggestion, and now Zhao Shuo is extremely righteous. However, the sadness in my heart is psychological, and I still have to smile on my face.
"Since this is the case, then the lower official dares to ask His Highness, how is this solution to the refugees ......?"
Zhao Shuo nodded slightly, turned sideways and said to Wang Gu. "Here's what I think. First, first report to the imperial court and strive to get a batch of grain. Of course, it would be better if you got some clothes and silver taels. ”
"Second, we must send someone to manage these refugees, they are surrounded outside Lin'an City, if they are ignored, it will not be long before diseases will occur, and if they are allowed to develop, it is likely to form a plague, if that happens, Lin'an City will be finished."
"Third, gather all the wealthy households in Lin'an, have the money to contribute, and make a strong contribution to strive to maximize the absorption of a group of refugees to relieve the pressure on the imperial court."
"Fourth, after years of war, the people are struggling to make a living, and there will definitely be wasteland, so Lord Wang can send someone to check it, and then distribute some food and seeds to these refugees, so that they can be self-reliant. The grain to be eaten and the seeds to be taken are to be handed over to the government at the time of the autumn harvest, along with the land rent. ”
"Fifth, for the remaining group of people, they are naturally unwilling to stay in Lin'an. As long as these people are given some porridge every day, when the war in the north is over, they will naturally take the initiative to leave and return home. ”
After saying this, looking at the stunned Wang Gu, Zhao Shuo smiled. "I wonder what Lord Wang thinks of me?"
"Your Highness is a great talent." Wang Gu arched his hand and said. "Listening to His Royal Highness's words, it really made the lower officials suddenly open."
"It's good to help Lord Wang." Zhao Shuo took a sip of tea and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that Wang Gu accepted his strategy of treating refugees separately.
"Your Highness, the matter of refugees is a top priority, and since there is a countermeasure, then the lower officials will immediately implement it." After finishing speaking, Wang Gu gave his hand again.
"It's getting late today, just write a recital, don't be too tired." Zhao Shuo got up. "If there is anything I need help with in this matter, Lord Wang can just speak."
"Then thank Your Highness first." Wang Gu bowed. "Now that the situation is urgent, the lower officials will leave first."
Zhao Shuo nodded, and Wang Gu turned to leave.
Soon after Wang Gu left, the backbone elements of Fluttershy, Yan Wu, Feng Gonggong, Li Shopkeeper, and Zhang Chujiu came to the backyard.
Zhao Shuo nodded to Fluttershy. "What kind of tea did you make, it's hard to drink, if it weren't for Wang Gu's old guy here, I would have called you over and cleaned you up."
Fluttershy sticks out her tongue. "Your Highness, the slave didn't know that you would drink this tea, and she only poured half a cup for you."
Zhao Shuo was a little speechless, of course he knew that Fluttershy made this tea just to fix Wang Gu, but he had been wandering outside for a day, and he hadn't drunk a sip of water, and he was naturally thirsty when he came back.
But as soon as the tea was in his mouth, the bitter taste filled his entire mouth at once, making him feel like vomiting. If Wang Gu hadn't been here again, I'm afraid Zhao Shuo would have squirted out at that time.
"Your Highness, you see that Lord Wang has drunk it all." Yan Wu put the tea bowl used by Wang Gu in front of Zhao Shuo.
"Oh!" Zhao Shuo thought about it, and really didn't pay much attention to when Wang Gu drank this tea, but Wang Gu obviously drank more than him, which made his already somewhat unhappy mood suddenly better. "I didn't expect this old guy to be so enduring."
"Your Highness, what did you just do?" Gonggong Feng looked puzzled, and stopped talking.
He knows what to ask and what not to ask. But don't ask, I'm really curious, ask, I'm afraid that Zhao Shuo will be unhappy.
"They're the ones who are playing with you." Zhao Shuo looked at Gonggong Feng.
"Your Highness, it's the old slave himself who wants to know, and it has nothing to do with them." Gonggong Feng knew that Zhao Shuo was different from before, and said a little nervously at the moment.
Zhao Shuo glanced around Fluttershy, Yan Wu and the others, and then said. "I asked what I shouldn't have asked. Grandpa Feng! You should know the results. ”
"The old slave knows his mistake." Gonggong Feng bowed and said. "Willing to accept the punishment of His Highness."
Seeing this, Fluttershy, Yan Wu, Shopkeeper Li, and Zhang Chujiu all knelt down.
"Your Highness, this matter was actually asked by us to ask Gonggong Feng." Fluttershy whispers with her head down. "If you want to be punished, we are willing to be punished with Gonggong Feng."
"You are all willing to be punished." Zhao Shuo asked.
The four of them nodded their heads.
Seeing this situation, Zhao Shuo laughed. "Get up, teasing you."
Looking at the puzzled expressions on the faces of several people, Zhao Shuo continued. "Actually, what I talked to Wang about was how to solve the problem of refugees."
After finishing speaking, ignoring a few people, Zhao Shuo returned directly to his residence in the Zhaocai Restaurant, he was really tired on this day, and he had to take a good rest.
At the same time, Wang Gu, who left, kept spitting along the way, and the sound of babbling was endless.
"What kind of broken tea is this, so unpalatable." Wang Gu grumbled, and then frowned. "This highness talks extraordinary, it's not simple. It seems that I have really lost my eyes before, and I have to report this situation to His Majesty as soon as possible. ”
