In ancient times, most of the ways of educating children were to beat them, and sometimes they didn't need a reason to beat them.

In this era, there is no talk of human rights, let alone so-called equality. Monarchs, ministers, fathers, sons, and sons, to put it bluntly, is the relationship between ownership and ownership.

However, Xu Jingzong said that he wanted to beat Xu Yanbo, but he didn't really plan to beat him, Li Qinzai sensitively noticed that this was just that Xu Jingzong didn't want to talk to him about road construction head-on, so he changed the topic.

Beat the child to change the topic, Xu Jingzong is worthy of being thick-faced and black-hearted, and he is really open-minded.

Li Qinzai didn't mind him changing the topic, since he was sealed by Li Zhi, Xu Jingzong would never be able to transfer this topic, and he would have to face it sooner or later.

So Li Qinzai looked at the Xu family's ancestors and grandchildren with a smile and an expression of watching the play.

Xu Jingzong called out to take the family law, but he didn't see anyone take the family law for a long time, Xu Yanbo looked at Xu Jingzong with a sad and angry face, Xu Jingzong looked embarrassed, and coughed twice.

It's really a bit difficult to ride a tiger at this time, is it really going to smoke your grandson?

It's not a big deal to smoke it, anyway, he hasn't practiced the family method for a long time, so it's time to smoke him, but Li Qinzai's appearance of watching the play made Xu Jingzong feel a little weird.

It seems that the grandfather beating his grandson is to give the guests an entertainment show, which is a bit too much, how can the prime minister be so undignified.

After a long time, Xu Jingzong suddenly said again: "Ah, the virtuous nephew and grandson are here, have my family's unsuccessful grandchildren been entertained well?" ”

Xu Yanbo seemed to see that his grandfather was looking for a reason to beat him, and he must not let his grandfather find a reason, so he hurriedly said: "Hospitality, hospitality, there is no shortage of wine and beauty." ”

Xu Jingzong gave him a blank look, but Li Qinzai still had a smile on his face.

Xu Jingzong had no choice but to say: "Virtuous nephew and grandson, please come to the court, and the old man will discuss with you." ”

Li Qinzai smiled even more happily, bowed down and stretched out his hand: "Xu Xiang, please first." ”

Xu Yanbo didn't know whether he wanted to keep up, but was kicked by Xu Jingzong: "Climb!" ”

Li Qinzai was dumbfounded and watched Brother Xu Xian fly away like a kite with a broken string.

Xu Jingzong smiled awkwardly at Li Qinzai: "Hehe, seeing the smile, the Xu family is the most uncompetitive with this goods, and they have to pick it up." ”

On Xu Jiatang, Li Qinzai once again talked about the pros and cons of road construction, and after chatting with Li Tao, Li Qinzai's thinking was clearer, and he was not timid to chat with the prime minister of the current dynasty, and he talked about everything in a comprehensive manner.

Xu Jingzong listened to Li Qinzai's words, and then shook his head and sighed: "Li family boy, if you don't do it, it's really difficult to do it, you told Your Majesty to build roads and ships, it is too big, if you shake the country's foundation because of this, and cause turmoil in the world, the old man will become a sinner for the ages." ”

Li Qinzai smiled humbly: "The younger generation knows that Xu Xiang is difficult, but although it is difficult to do, it should also be beneficial to the country. ”

Xu Jingzong sighed: "The old man understands the truth, and the old man also knows that His Majesty was hindered by the courtiers, and he is deeply dissatisfied...... It's still that problem, the consumption is too great, and the involvement is too big. ”

"Not to mention anything else, although the idea of cash-for-work is good, but the huge work also consumes a lot of money and food, who will pay for this money and food? The treasury can't afford it. ”

"This year's drought in the north, the Tang Dynasty's annual income is less than half of the previous years, at this time, if the road is still built, the money and grain will be consumed, and the officials below will cause a civil uprising if they are not careful, which is a big event that breaks the sky."

A day ago, Li Qinzai may have been a little embarrassed about these practical problems, but since he talked to his grandfather Li Tao once, Li Qinzai has a little bit of confidence.

After pondering for a moment, Li Qinzai said slowly: "What Xu Xiang said is reasonable, but the younger generation has a new idea......

Xu Jingzong raised his eyebrows: "Oh? The old man would like to hear about it. ”

"At the beginning of the New Deal, it must be like walking on thin ice, whether it is work for relief, or road construction, it is necessary to be cautious and slow down, so as to be the safe way. The younger generation means that it is possible to find a place to pilot. ”

"Find a state or a county to implement a temporary new policy, if it is feasible, it can be slowly implemented next year and the year after, if not, it will be decisively stopped next year, and the gains and losses of a place will not affect the social and national capital, what does Xu Xiang think?"

Xu Jingzong had never heard of the method of "piloting", and he was stunned when he heard the words, and he pondered.

"Your brain is really ......" Xu Jingzong didn't know what to say, but his eyes became brighter and brighter.

Li Qinzai continued: "There is a great drought in the north, and the imperial court must help the people, even if we don't implement the work-for-relief I proposed, the grain that should be given is still given, but if the road construction touches the interests of others, we might as well make the movement a little smaller and choose a state and county to pilot it." ”

"The state treasury prepares grain, and the construction can start after the autumn harvest, the local people pay for the roads, the government pays for the grain, the roads are repaired, the farmers who fail to harvest grain are also fed, and the land of one state and one county will not touch the interests of too many powerful families, does Xu Xiang think it is feasible?"

"When all the roads in this prefecture and county are built, not only do they not cause losses to the local area, but they also feed the refugees, facilitate transportation, facilitate access, and benefit both the government and the people, then invite officials from nearby cities to visit, I believe that officials from all over the country will be tempted, and the new policy will be implemented smoothly."

Xu Jingzong was a little surprised, surprised by the "pilot" method proposed by Li Qinzai, and thought about it from the position of the prime minister, perhaps this is the most prudent method, with the least movement, and the least impact at the same time.

Find a place to try, if it doesn't work, the boat will make a U-turn, what if it succeeds?

Successful public opinion has been created, there is a ready-made model there, the government and the opposition have seen it, and then they will be brought to the court for discussion, and they will have the confidence to implement the new policy.

As for the interests of the powerful and the family, as long as the pilot place is successful, it is easier for the imperial court to stand on the commanding heights of public opinion and morality, and those who are touched by the interests will first fall behind, and the court and the people will benefit, and the powerful and family sandwiched in the middle will become a vulnerable group, so what are you afraid of?

Xu Jingzong's eyes became brighter and brighter.

He was not rejoicing for the benefit of the society and the people, but mainly because with the pilot method proposed by Li Qinzai, he was able to stand with the Son of Heaven decisively and resolutely.

The sky can be seen, the old man has always been a loyal minister.

Of course, with Xu Jingzong's cunning and cunning, although he agrees with Li Qinzai's proposal in his heart, he will never express his position easily.

"The boy of the Li family is extremely smart, if the unfortunate beast in my family is half as smart as you, why don't you worry about the Xu family's business, it's a pity......" Xu Jingzong suddenly showed a look of anger and indisputable sorrow.

Li Qinzai looked at him in amazement, we are obviously talking about business, why did the conversation turn to your evil animal again?

Anyway, he used to be one of the eighteen bachelors of the Qin Palace, and he often digressed when making fuss?
