Chapter Eighty-Seven: Fighting the Autumn Wind

After Xiao He listened to Wang Li say a few big words that His Majesty's opinion is not important, his heart suddenly trembled with fright, looking at the entire Great Qin, Xiao He couldn't think of anyone who dared to say this, except for the lord in front of him, of course.

Xiao He hurriedly and selectively forgot these few words, no matter who came to inquire in the future, he didn't know these words, and his mouth was full of thoughts in his heart.

Said: "Childe, after Xiao He, whether it is the bandits that the old gentleman said, or the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms, it is not the most important thing for us in Pengcheng now, and the most important thing for us here now is the people's livelihood project." ”

"The problem of how to make the people have enough to eat, such as the problem of bandits, as long as the people are full of food and will not starve, then who wants to be a bandit, after all, the life safety of the bandits is not guaranteed, this is already a big adventure."

"Therefore, as long as the people's livelihood project is done well, so that the people of the world have enough to eat, then there will naturally be fewer of these bandits, and when the time comes, Gongzi is trying to find a way to excuse those bandits who have gone up the mountain, if they have not made major mistakes, don't condemn them, then there will be some bandits who will always be transformed into good citizens of my Great Qin."

Listening to Xiao He's words, Wang Li said: "Sir, how could Wang Li not know what you said, but the question now is, how do we ensure the people's livelihood, if we can't even guarantee the current foundation, then there will only be more and more people going up the mountain to steal." ”

No matter what Wang Li does, theoretical knowledge is quite rich, but when it comes to practical operation, it is still more than a step behind, such as the problem in front of him, there is no general direction of planning, and I don't know how to do it step by step.

But Wang Weizhong treats everyone equally, and at this time he really wants to make his due contribution to the people.

Xiao He said the plan in his heart: "Childe, although Pengcheng is said to be fierce year after year, but this drought is not uncontrollable, I have carefully observed it myself, now the water flow in Surabaya is still very rich, let's build more channels, and then dig more wells, as long as the grain can be planted." ”

"But now, if you do this, it is inevitable that you will have to be conscripted again, and the people of this world have been suffering from conscription for a long time, and I don't know if anyone will come."

"Xiao He guessed that the previous Pengcheng County Guard should have done similar things, but it was not implemented due to many obstacles."

After Xiao He said this, Wang Li's head was also running fast, if it was said that he was planning his own program and guidelines, Wang Li felt that he had a problem, but if he let himself help with something, then Wang Li felt that he was still reliable.

Wang Li knew that the conscription in the Qin Dynasty was voluntary, and such a county-by-county conscription sometimes had to bring their own food, which caused many people to have a headache for these conscriptions.

After all, it's just a matter of not paying salaries, and even eating doesn't matter, no one can do it, Wang Li said to Xiao He: "Sir, in fact, this water conservancy construction is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people, including for their future generations. ”

"The fear of these people is nothing more than strength, but it is not beneficial, we only need to provide for these people to eat, and then the people who are willing to come, and send them a few pennies every day, so that the people see the benefits, they will naturally have the courage to contribute, and the repaired water conservancy, that is also a good thing for my Daqin, sir, see if this is okay."

Xiao He was extremely supportive of Wang Li's whimsical ideas, after all, this was a precedent for Daqin, Xiao He had only seen that the most that was served as a conscription was to provide food, where was there any money.

Said: "Childe's idea is good, but I have read the account books of the county government, and the current county government has owed the officials below several months, and I am afraid that I will not be able to come up with the money to do these things." ”

Wang Li's eyes suddenly darkened, he didn't expect that the situation here would be so difficult, but as soon as his eyes turned, Wang Li made up his mind and said, "Sir, you see that among these families who give gifts during the day, that family gives more gift money." ”

Xiao He is a smart person, and he knew what Wang Li wanted to do as soon as he heard it, but now there is really no better way than this, so he hurriedly said: "Hexi Liu family." ”

The Liu family, as the number one family in Pengcheng, is full of prestige in Pengcheng, and there are also many people who know how to do things in the corresponding government in Pengcheng, and this relationship is deep-rooted.

Moreover, the Liu family is well versed in the minds of these officials, and every time these officials come, the Liu family is absolutely respectful and respectful on the surface, and must not offend these officials.

Before Wang Liren arrived, the head of the Liu family had already received the news. Specially waiting outside the door.

As soon as Wang Li arrived, the head of the Liu family greeted him and said: "Lord Wang, but you are diligent, we families should still have more contact with Lord Wang, the development of Pengcheng will have Lord Lao." ”

Wang Li's old face turned red, it was obvious that the people of these families were saying that they were a little greedy, so they took the money, why did they come again, but Wang Li was also thick-skinned.

said: "The head of the Liu family, this official came to you this time, there is something that needs your help, after all, the official has just arrived, this person is not familiar with the place, and the head of the Liu family needs to take care of it." ”

Although the head of the Liu family despised Wang Li in his heart, he had a smile on his face, and said: "My lord, what I am talking about is there, my lord is here to do things for Pengcheng, and I will say what help my lord wants." ”

So saying, he led Wang Li into the house.

Wang Li didn't hide it, and said: "Master Liu, this official just came to this Pengcheng on the order of His Majesty, but he found that the people of Pengcheng were withering, so the official wanted to borrow a sum of silver from the Liu family master for the water conservancy repair of this Pengcheng." ”

The head of the Liu family, who has been on the battlefield, didn't know Wang Li's thoughts, and silently despised Wang Li's insatiable greed in his heart, but said with a smile: "My lord is dedicated to the people, it is really the luck of the people of Pengcheng, I don't know how many silver taels my lord needs." ”

Wang Li glanced at Xiao He, only to see Xiao He use a palm slightly, Wang Li immediately understood: "This repair of water conservancy is a big thing, I'm afraid it will cost five thousand." ”

Xiao He's face changed as soon as he was a child, Xiao He only wanted Wang Li to ask for five hundred, but he didn't expect Wang to ask for five thousand, and the head of the Liu family also changed his face, and his smile instantly froze.
