Chapter 347: Datang's salary is high

Yu Chengen was so frightened that he was about to retreat after being kicked by Gao Lishi, but Li Mao was instantly interested when he heard him say that he had both attentions. "Lao Gao, you have to teach him a lesson, go back and teach a lesson, let him finish his words first, and I want to hear what tricks he has!" "Dog, if it weren't for the sage's generosity, our family wouldn't have tore your mouth, and the sage wouldn't have answered truthfully if he asked!"

"Whoa! Here! The villain means that our imperial court forcibly conscripted the Japanese Taoist husband, and this move has quite a lot of criticism from both the ministers of the court and the people of insight, but who knows about your painstaking efforts, sage? As the sage you just said, the population of the people of the Tang Dynasty is growing day by day, and there must be someone to produce and work for this food and drink, but the sage, you love the people of the Tang Dynasty like sons and nephews and can't bear to add taxes, so they are in a dilemma between practical problems and morality, and the villain is stupid, but they also understand that their rhetorical people must be playing small brocade clothes and jade food, and they have not suffered anything......"

"Well, Lao Gao, do you think what Cheng En said is reasonable! I didn't expect that there are still dragons and crouching tigers in your small inner service province, and there are such far-sighted people, this is the problem I am facing now, why don't I want to be a noble monarch of benevolence, righteousness and morality? It's just that there is always a choice between the ideal and the reality, but the two are difficult to complete, if they want to scold, they can scold......"

Li Mao listened to Yu Chengen's words, his mind was fast turning, there must be a demon when things go wrong, a little eunuch in the inner province can have such courage to risk offending Gao Lishi today, then he must not be incompetent, and he must be able to leave clues in the vast history.

But Li Mao has almost integrated into the society of the Tang Dynasty for many years, and he has almost forgotten the sporadic historical materials recorded in later generations, although he is familiar with the name Yu Chengen, he just can't think of anything brilliant about him, and faintly he feels that this person should gradually show his head after the Anshi Rebellion.

Li Mao slowly recalled in his mind while thinking about it, so for a while, those famous generals after the Anshi Rebellion gradually became obvious in his heart, especially Guo Ziyi, who had outstanding military achievements, was also engraved in his mind in an instant, and the eunuch Yu Chengen also had to let him contact Wang Chengen of the later Ming Dynasty, who was also an outstanding figure, a ruler, so that one must have attainments in military affairs.

In an instant, Li Mao's mind was clear, and it turned out that the guy in front of him who was lying on the ground and trembling by Gao Lishi was the first person to create a historical precedent and a eunuch to lead the army! It seems that after the Anshi Rebellion, Tubo attacked the Tang Realm on a large scale, and this person was still on Guo Ziyi's several knots, thinking of this, Li Mao suddenly brightened, sure enough, gold can always shine, just like now in the peaceful and prosperous world, Comrade Xiaoyu can only do the business of serving tea and water, but as soon as he waits for the opportunity, he will make a decisive move.

"Sage, this little fish has been studying for a few years, and the old slave is also waiting outside the hall because he has some cleverness, he said his, you listen to you, but don't take it seriously! There are no rules, don't hurry up and pack up and retreat, this national event is also something you kid can interject, go back and go to the torture room to get the punishment yourself...... ""Oh! Although Yu Chengen was punished for receiving the board at the moment, he knew that he had already blossomed in his heart, and he knew that the day when he would get ahead would not be far away.

"Slow, Lao Gao, you too, don't always be so strict with the people below, I see that what I just said is really a little insightful, it's not too late for him to finish his words and then punish, anyway, idle is idle, Xiaoyu, I see that you are not very old, we don't seem to be a few years old, continue to talk about your specific thoughts, I forgive you for not guilty......" "Eh...... Little thank you saint Rongen! In fact, the saint can let the people of the Chang'an Information Bureau do it, they use the picture newspaper to build momentum is much more powerful than those people in the Yushitai, the people in the court can drive and mobilize only some readers, but most of the people who read the picture are ordinary people, as long as the people of our Tang Dynasty and the workers of the Japanese Tao are willing to do this dirty work, the small ones think that those adults will not be able to say anything in the future, and the general Xiao, they think that the laborers are suffering, that is to treat others with themselves, Do you know that the Japanese Taoist laborers are coming, our Datang is simply an uncle who has entered the rice tank, and I don't know how happy I am? ”

Li Mao almost laughed out loud when he heard Yu Chengen's words, he thought about such a simple truth for a long time and didn't even understand it, yes, those scholars and officials in Datang thought they were tyrannical and oppressed Japanese workers, but how did they know what kind of life the Japanese people are living now, and the work they do may be more bitter and tiring than building roads and reservoirs in Datang? Maybe they don't have enough to eat, no clothing, and no wages to pay?

Do you think that three taels of silver is less, that is the high salary of Datang, and people may not be able to get one or two locally, haha...... The more Li Mao thought about it, the more he felt that this Yu Chengen had an active brain and an interesting mind, and he would have such a forward-looking vision, and he would have a geographical change, if he really did what he said, maybe the Japanese workers themselves would jump up first and not agree, if you give a wage increase, there will be a large number of Tang people to do it, so why do you want them to do it, and this salary is good, the local conquest officials have increased the burden, maybe they don't do it, you don't do it, he doesn't do it, do you want you nobles sitting in the office with a stove to do it?

"Xiaoyu, you wake up the dreamer with a word, okay, very good, from tomorrow you will be responsible for going to the Information Bureau to mediate this matter, you know that my mind is not to mess up the errand, I hope that in a few months there will be no more voices speaking for Japanese Taoist workers in the court, understand?" "Oh, thank you for the grace of the saint, the villain will definitely do the errand brightly, and the saint, you should go and see General Xiao, he may just not be able to figure it out for a while." "Well, it's really time to go and see it, he's been out there for years, and it's really chilling for him to be so cold...... Boss Gao, you can go with me! ”

Before Gao Lishi went out, he didn't forget to turn around and look at Yu Chengen who just wanted to follow, but after he looked at it, Yu Chengen was immediately frightened and knelt down on the spot to wait, but Li Mao didn't say much after noticing this movement, after all, he understood that the person who bypassed his boss and was eager for quick success still needed to be disciplined well, as Gao Lishi said, no matter how smart a person without rules is, he can't go far, and there is no shortage of wise people around him, but this loyal and obedient person who knows how to advance and retreat is really too few and too few.

"Lao Gao, that little fish will be promoted a little in the future, but you can do what you want to do with your own affairs, I won't take care of it......" "Oh, the old slave should be damned, the inner servant has saved such an unruly little boy, all of them are old slaves who are usually not strictly disciplined, fortunately, there are a lot of saints!" "Okay, don't tell me these words, I don't know what you're thinking about this old fellow? If you really don't look down on him, how can you let people serve outside the imperial study, just go back and educate well, don't scare people, to tell the truth, your old man is really old these two years, and you should find someone who can take over and enjoy a few days of happiness, those two boys in your family heard that they are very angry! I have been admitted to Chang'an University, and I will definitely glorify my ancestors in the future! ”

"Eh, or a saint, you feel sorry for the old slave, these sesame mung beans are all in your heart, those two boys can have today, but also thanks to the help of Qiu Xiang Niangniang, they have been in the palace to accompany a few highnesses to study, naturally close to the water and the building has the moon first......" The two of them walked to the gate of Daming Palace when they spoke. And from a distance, Xiao Tianguo lay out the roll with one hand, and leaned on the palace gate with the white steamed bun in the other.

And after Li Mao's team slowly approached, Xiao Tiancheng suddenly found himself standing up and bowing to greet him under the reminder of the guards. "The last general, Xiao Tiancheng knocks on the saint!" "Get up and speak! Look at the way you look now, do you still have a little bit of my demeanor as a general of the Tang Dynasty? What are you doing and not giving up on my death? ”

"The saint is angry, the lowly position is helpless to make such a ridiculous move, in order to be able to see the saint in person, the lowly position has been seen many times in the face, but ......" Xiao Tiancheng originally looked like Lao Tzu was not afraid of heaven and earth, but when he really came face to face with Li Mao, even if he was mentally prepared, he instinctively was still a lot weaker, and even standing there felt a little shaken by the cold wind.

"Didn't I send someone to tell you you you didn't have time? Why do you still want to use this to coerce me, and now even the two girls are messing around with you, do you know that they are kneeling in Qiuxiang's dormitory with their children and crying day and night? You guys...... If I don't come today, do you think it's enough to join the hundreds of officials in the book, and the next step should be to summon the old troops in the army to Beijing...... Xiao Tiancheng! Xiao Tiancheng, you can really do it! Do you remember the person who carried sandbags at the Chang'an Canal Wharf? Most of the old people who followed you died in battle, but Huazi, Xu San, and Xu Si are still in Chang'an City, right? Have you ever visited them first......"

As soon as Li Mao finished saying these words, Xiao Tian immediately fell to his knees again in shame, covered his head loudly, and cried bitterly. "Sage, I remember, I shouldn't forget the scene when I met you until I die, Huazi, are they okay? I'm sorry for them......"

"Just remember, I thought that you only had those people of the Japanese way in your heart, and in your eyes they were very miserable and miserable...... Isn't it very similar to you dock coolies who have no way to go to the sky and no door to the ground, do you feel the same way, and then you also feel that they are bullied by my Tang Dynasty force, just you Xiao Tiancheng Bodhisattva heart, there is a Buddha fate in your heart, is the Tianzhu monk named Gu Mokong also came to Kyoto with you? ”

Hearing Li Mao say his own thoughts, Xiao Tiancheng instantly stopped his tears, and then nodded without refutation, as Li Mao said, he Xiao Tiancheng has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, seeing through life and death, and the blood burned in his hands is not known how much, the trace of mercy and kindness in his heart is almost exhausted, and the great monk Kuma Kong who he met by chance seems to have become a life-saving straw for the peace of his heart, and in how many long nights he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, it was that sentence of Buddhism washing his soul.

As the supreme military commander who invaded and occupied the Japanese Province at the beginning, he always felt that it was he who dragged millions of people in the Japanese Province into the quagmire with his own hands, which made their family ruined and their wives scattered and they were dragged across the ocean to Datang to buy coolies, and it was these things that made him deeply fall into self-blame.
