Chapter 5: Horror and Brotherhood

Linglong on the side gushed out the reason for the cash-for-work.

Most of those affected by the disaster had manual labor, but because of the disaster, they had no food and became homeless.

As long as they can survive the winter and give them a piece of land at the beginning of next spring to grow food, they will still be able to continue to work.

Nowadays, the practice of the imperial court is to treat them with two meals a day, and after eating, they will be put aside and ignored.

Waiting for the next meal will keep them coming over and queuing up to eat, which is not advisable.

must let them fully show their personal value.

Only by allowing them to fully demonstrate their personal value can they work hard.

Now after this heavy snowfall, there will inevitably be a spring flood next year, and then there will be another flood.

Instead of sitting back and waiting, give them two meals a day and let them all get their hands dirty to build ditches.

In this way, waiting for the snow to melt in the beginning of spring, reservoirs will be formed, and there will be no flooding in the spring.

In the summer, if there is a drought, the snow stored in the winter can be used for irrigation.

The biggest benefit of cash-for-work is that everyone can move.

and not to eat and drink enough every day and do nothing.

Some people are full of food and drink and have nothing to do, and if they are provoked by people with hearts, they may rebel!

Hearing her say this, the two of them widened their eyes.

Long before, as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Er had already received a fold from the officials below.

There have been several cases of homeless people making trouble.

At that time, I thought that this group of homeless people was already starved of food and clothing.

The court gave them two meals a day so that they would not starve to death.

And their tents so that they have a place to live, so that the temperature will not be too low and they will freeze to death.

But who would have thought that he was so benevolent and righteous, and that someone would deliberately do something?

It's just that although he is an emperor, when he leads the army to fight, he will not hesitate to take tough measures to suppress those enemies.

If they have been unified today, these people are no longer rebels but all the people of the Tang Dynasty.

Because of natural disasters, there is no food, so there is trouble.

In any case, you can't just send troops to kill the people because of a natural disaster, right?

In this way, won't his image in the eyes of the people collapse suddenly?

But if he took a step back, and this group of homeless people did such a bad thing, he would also feel very unhappy.

I was thinking about how to deal with these things before, but when I heard her say this today, the whole person suddenly became enlightened.

This person just can't be idle, if he is idle every day, it's easy to mess around!

"Listening to these 4 words said by Miss Linglong today, I am really deafening, Miss Linglong, I admire, admire!"

After Li Er said this, Linglong on the side glanced at them with disdain.

This kind of look seems to tell them that this little thing is not a problem at all.

"I also heard before that there are many ministers in the court, and the current saint wants to write an edict for his own sin.

I hope that God can take back the supernatural powers, and pity and pity the people of the Tang Dynasty.

I don't know if Your Majesty can really move the heavens after writing this edict, and I want God to stop snowing.

Let the people survive this winter? ”

Zhao Mu smiled disdainfully, and Linglong on the side saw his young master's expression and spoke again!

"It snows in the winter or it doesn't snow, and in the summer it rains or it doesn't rain at all.

These are just natural phenomena that cannot be interfered with by human beings at the moment.

Until we get to a point where we want it to rain whenever it rains.

If you don't want it to rain, it won't rain.

Or rather, thunder and lightning in the sky.

For example, my young master, you can let those thunderbolts land wherever they land, and they will land there! ”

This?

Their eyes widened.

If she didn't lie, then this Zhao Gongzi is simply a god, this is simply a god's means!

Zhao Mu on the side had already been red with shame in his heart.

It's just that his old face has been trained to be invulnerable, so he can say whatever he wants, and he doesn't have to pay taxes to brag anyway.

When the whole Zhuangzi was in drought, he just said that it would be nice if it could rainfall artificially.

When I encountered hail, I said a few words that if there was a cannon to prevent hail, the disaster would be dispelled.

The heavy rain poured and many lightning bolts, which had already injured several people, and they had set up a few lightning rods.

Let these lightning bolts be split on lightning rods, but these are especially common methods for modern people.

In their eyes, they are gods, and they are too lazy to explain anything!

"Zhao Gongzi, I really am a god and I will give Zhao Gongzi a cup!"

"Well, it doesn't matter, these are just small paths, not worth mentioning.

The so-called sin edict is purely a matter of need, and it is nothing more than a psychological effect.

If it works, why don't a few people write their own edicts when they encounter natural disasters?

So this kind of thing can't be trusted! ”

"Hearing Miss Linglong say this today, I just woke up.

Zhao Gongzi, I will admire and admire, I will give Zhao Gongzi another glass! ”

Li Er raised his wine glass again, drank it all and shouted cool.

A problem that plagued everyone in the court was solved by a maid beside Brother Zhao.

One of his maids, if his strength is still like this, then the strength of this little brother Zhao must not be blown.

To solve the problem, Li Er drank a few more glasses.

A few glasses of spirits drank a little on the stomach,

"The so-called wine is less than a thousand cups of confidants, and when I heard Zhao Gongzi's words today, I knew that Zhao Gongzi was a rare friend.

Mainly because I am too old, otherwise I would definitely marry Zhao Gongzi as a brother of the opposite sex.

If Zhao Gongzi doesn't dislike it, you and I will be commensurate with your brother from today onwards.

I'll call you Brother Zhao, what about you? Call me in! ”

Seeing that Zhao Mu didn't react!

"Forget it, forget it, you can call me whatever you want, hahahaha!

Brother Zhao, I won't tell you anything, today we walked all the way in Chang'an City, and I felt heartache when I saw the people in Liming without clothes and food.

Although I am a businessman, everyone says that profiteers are profiteers, and there are no profiteers.

In fact, my ancestors were also ordinary people.

It's just that my ancestor saved a nobleman when he was going up the mountain to chop wood, and got the help of the nobleman and started a business.

It wasn't until it came to me that I had today's family business, but I never forgot that I was a child of the common people's family.

Now the homeless people outside have no clothes and no food, and those profiteers in the city sit on the ground and raise prices.

I multiplied that grain no less than 10 times.

The 10 times the price, let alone the common people, even the dignitaries may not be able to afford it.

Every time I think about it, I feel very angry.

However, although I have the heart, I don't have the power.

Before the heavy snowfall, the caravan that had gone to the south to buy grain was returning from a long journey.

Presumably, it won't take long to arrive at Chang'an City.

At that time, there will be enough food, which can completely bring down the price of grain in the entire Chang'an City.

But now I don't have any food, and I'm powerless! ”

After Li Er finished saying this, he drank another glass of wine.

It seems that only wine can dissipate all his sorrows.

For a moment, the whole table stopped sounding and watched quietly.
