"What is King Qin?" Li Er sat on the soft chair with his pipe in his mouth, stretching his legs comfortably.

Li Yuanxing was kneeling on the soft couch and kneeling in a very formal posture.

What is King Qin? This question has been asked countless times. Before Li Yuanxing ran to the palace to ask Li Er in person, who would have thought that Li Er would turn around and ask Li Yuanxing today.

"The first emperor, the world says that he is ruthless, but they don't know that he is the most affectionate!" Li Yuanxing said very calmly.

Li Erdaxiao, picked up the glass next to him and shook the wine in the glass: "Wulang, why didn't you approve the silver money from the household department to Chang'an Mengtong?" ”

"Because, I am the King of Qin! I have to harden my heart, all for Datang! Li Yuanxing's expression was still very serious.

Li Er was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Li Yuanxing to answer like this.

Li Yuanxing stood up slowly with his left hand on the couch: "Brother Huang, what the younger brother hated the most was this sitting posture, and the younger brother preferred to lie half-lying on the soft chair." Now, my brother likes this sitting posture very much, because when I sit like this, my heart can truly resemble a king! ”

"Because if you sit for a long time, you will faint!" Li Er smiled happily.

Li Yuanxing nodded, and the sitting posture compressed the blood vessels in his legs, and it was an accident not to faint.

Li Er continued: "Lie down and think about the problem, the more you think about it, the lazier you become. But sitting there, my brother will feel dizzy for no more than an hour, so he has to come up with a solution to the problem very quickly. This is forcing yourself to make up your mind, but Gorou, you haven't answered for brother yet. You weishenme don't allow the household department to give money to Mengtong to study? ”

"Brother Huang, a ten-year-old child works for the family, and he can increase his income by dozens of wen a month, or nearly 100 wen. So even if Mengxue doesn't collect money, many families still think that they have lost. The younger brother was not interested in sending people to beg them one by one, or forcing them to send their children to school. Chang'an City is different from Qin Wangzhuang, Qin Wang Zhuang's younger brother set the rules on the first day, so they are used to it. ”

Li Yuanxing's explanation gave Li Er a feeling of seeing the sun.

Many things seem to fit this way.

"Brother Huang, think about a problem in reverse, if the younger brother of the minister pushes each family to plant Tang corn from the beginning. I'm afraid that I still need to use my tongue to convince. Let them see the harvest. They will come to me! Li Yuanxing lit a cigarette with a little pride.

"Active vs. Passive!" Li Er nodded approvingly.

"Brother Huang is wise!" Li Yuanxing's words sounded to Li Er, pure nonsense.

"Wrong, it's King Qin's wisdom." Li Er lit his pipe again and walked to the position where Li Yuanxing was kneeling just now. Kneel in the position of Li Yuanxing just now in the way of sitting upright. Li Yuanxing sat on a round bench near the front.

The two brothers spoke. No one is allowed to come near, this is an iron law.

"Among the craftsmen's grading, literacy is added by half a grade. This is already a finalized decision for each family in the workshop area. And at the level of a plumber, if you don't know how to read, it's impossible to be a plumber at all. Does the royal brother know what is the hottest business in Chang'an County now? When Li Yuanxing said this, there was a bit of smugness in his tone.

"I don't know!" Li Er really didn't know.

Even if he has a detailed report from the Security Department of the Tang Empire.

"It's night school!"

"What is night school?" Li Er's curiosity rose.

There is a curfew at night in Datang Chang'an City, but in fact it is not strict to the extreme. The dozens of main streets in Chang'an City must not be able to walk at night, but there is still a little movement in the interior of the streets.

Chang'an County, south of Chang'an City, whether it is a workshop area or a craftsman's residence, will also have a curfew.

But the curfew is restricted, and the workshops that have been working overnight only need to close the door.

The residential area is also divided into several separate districts to live in. Dafang is still under curfew, but it is allowed to hang out inside the separate district and come out for a drink and chat. However, overnight residents in the area are not allowed to go out after curfew, according to Tang law, night walkers are not traitors and thieves!

"What is Evening School? It's a school where classes are held at night. Craftsmen can't read the schedule, they can't understand the statistics, but if they can't understand the work, what qualifications do they have to be stewards. Those who are talented and capable can work as a foreman, but if they don't even know a word, they will have no chance of promotion in a few months! ”

Li Er was a little interested.

"How do you talk about this promotion?"

"From the seventh-rank official to the sixth-rank official, what is promoted is the position, what is added is the money, what is high is the status, and what is increased is the face. Thirty-six lines, seventy-two industries, the line is the champion! ”

Li Er understood, and nodded slightly: "These craftsmen who really go to learn, they will naturally pay for the dolls to study." Because they see the benefits! ”

"After the university was built, there was a school called vacation training. Every month there is a holiday for the craftsmen, and in this school, at least third-class craftsmen give lectures. ”

"Very good, so the Ministry of Rites is no longer enough to do this."

This is a gossip, and Li Er's words changed: "Wulang, what about the locust plague?" ”

"The younger brother thought that he could find the order to cure the locusts. Locusts are not a terrible thing, and there is a way to eradicate them. But there is one point, the younger brother thinks twice, and he still can't make up his mind! When Li Yuanxing said this, he also knelt on the couch with Li Er in a sitting position.

"Gorou is here, listen to it for my brother!"

"The people of Luoyang had a sudden disaster, and the army of the Tang Dynasty saved their lives, and they believed in the army. But Hebei is one of the hardest hit areas by the prediction of the locust plague this time, so do they trust the army? ”

Facing Li Yuanxing's question, Li Er nodded slightly.

Gorou was very worried. Soldiers are also bandits, wars have been raging for many years, and soldiers are cheap, so the people of Hebei are more afraid than agree. Chang'an is better, it is very close to Luoyang, five hundred miles around Chang'an, and under the strict orders of the various armies, the reputation of the soldiers is rising day by day. ”

Li second-hand has the Tang Empire Security Division.

The big and small things in Datang, as long as he wants to check, he can naturally find out.

This kind of matter related to people's livelihood, economy, and the majesty of the Tang Dynasty official mansion will naturally be verified by the Imperial Security Department.

Thinking of this, Li Er asked, "How do you think Gorou should deal with it, I want to hear your opinion!" ”

"Brother Huang, give up Hebei!"

"Give up!" Li Er's tone was much stricter: "Wulang, Hebei is also my Tang Dynasty!" ”

"Brother Huang, this renunciation is not a complete abandonment. Brother Huang listens to his brother! Li Yuanxing was not nervous, and still said unhurriedly.

But Li Er's eyes were a little angry, and he glared at Li Yuanxing: "Speak!" ”

"The Seventh Family is with me, so the Seventh Family will naturally follow the method of preventing locusts in accordance with the law of the younger brothers. Therefore, Hebei will not be in chaos, and in the five hundred miles around Chang'an, even if there is a locust plague, it can be completely controlled in a short time, and the farmland injured is only one percent. So the surroundings of Chang'an are fine! ”

Li Er nodded: "You keep talking!" ”

"Hebei will definitely be affected, and the Seventh Family will not be too badly affected. But ordinary people, ordinary landlords, will definitely suffer very hard, or even have no harvest. At that time, the younger brother sent twelve guards to disaster relief, and there were three reasons for this! ”

"Speak!" Li Er's tone became even more stern.

Li Yuanxing's tone was even more relaxed.

"Brother Huang, the first reason is to concentrate on the advantage of Liliang and completely exterminate the locust plague around Chang'an, including the future. Datang did not have enough liliang to completely solve the locust plague in the entire Datang in less than a year. The subordinate brother has calculated, if it is fully rolled out, then the result may be even worse! ”

How many manpower, material and financial resources Datang has, Li Er knows better than Li Yuanxing.

Therefore, Li Yuanxing's reason, Li Er is acceptable.

"The second reason, Brother Huang, is that it is like teaching. When the people don't know the benefits, they don't chase them. In the same way, when the people don't know the harm, they don't feel the pain and they don't go to the rescue. It's one thing for the younger brother to say something, and it's another thing for the people to believe it or not. Therefore, the younger brother planned to let them hurt once. ”

Li Er's expression softened a lot.

After looking at Li Yuanxing, Li Er smiled: "Choose one or two counties and let the surrounding counties take a look." ”

"This, all voluntary!" Li Yuanxing also smiled.

"Say Zuihou a reason!"

"It's still a matter of the status of the sergeants, the sergeants ran to Hebei with their eyes in their eyes, if they are snubbed by the people of Hebei again, it will not be good for the Tang Army." After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, he kept looking at Li Er's expression.

"This reason is in the past!"

Seeing Li Er's agreement, Li Yuanxing continued: "If you go as a savior......

"Wulang, at this time, you are truly like the King of Qin, saving one person is not good, saving the world is a great good. The kindness in the hearts of those in high positions is different from the kindness in the hearts of the secular people, although Gorou has now understood this truth, but you are still far from being the real King of Qin in your brother's heart! ”

"Isn't my brother ruthless enough?"

"Wrong, it's not whether you are ruthless or not, but that true kindness is ruthless, and you can't do it for your brother, so I don't ask you to do it. But you have to understand what you mean by this. Li Er said it sincerely, and reached out and gently patted Li Yuanxing's shoulder twice.

Li Yuanxing really didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, so he just nodded: "Brother Huang, my brother has written it down." ”

"The imperial brother stayed for lunch together, just now I heard that the imperial brother arrived at the minister's Zhuangzi, and the minister's brother specially arranged the kitchen to make a special meal. In fact, it's not a novelty, it's just that the younger brother likes to eat the most. It just so happens that the royal brother is here, so he simply has a full set, but I don't know if the imperial brother has enough appetite to be able to taste everything! ”

Hearing Li Yuanxing say this, Li Er was very happy: "Good, very good." Try it today! ”

Li Yuanxing shook the copper bell in his hand, and a personal guard came in to listen to the order. Li Yuanxing commanded: "Order, a thousand dumpling feast!" (To be continued......)
