Chapter 243: As an emperor, you have to learn to bear it
Hearing what Eldest Sun Wuji said, Li Er nodded secretly.
What he said is not unreasonable, now is the time for the people to be busy, if the people are allowed to dig wells again.
This digging a well is not like farming, which requires a lot of time and a lot of manpower and material resources.
This is especially true for deep wells.
"Okay, I have my own decision on this matter, and I'll talk about it tomorrow morning!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Li Er had already thought about it, if the people were allowed to dig wells spontaneously, the people would definitely not respond.
Rather than this, be a faint gentleman yourself!
The next morning.
After the minister below finished reporting this, he stood aside and waited quietly for the retreat.
When you get ready to clock in, what you like most is the feeling of leaving work.
Li Er glanced at everyone and began to give his orders.
All prefectures and counties in the Central Plains are required to organize the people to dig wells with villages as the center, and the more the better, and the deeper the better.
Whoever digs more and digs deeper will be seriously injured.
Dig less will be severely punished, and before the summer, they will send people to Chang'an as the basis for inspection, this time digging a well is bound to win!
When Li Er issued this order, half of the kings and grandsons in the entire court were stunned for a while.
Your Majesty, crazy crazy, really crazy.
It's just a matter of the imperial examination to conquer the Turks, and now His Majesty has said that he will dig wells in the whole world, what kind of operation is this, what is the way?
Several ministers stood up to block it.
Now my Datang is in good weather, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and at this moment Datang is at war with the Turks, and it is going to spring ploughing.
What is Your Majesty doing here?
Isn't this just a waste of money and labor?
Moreover, the cost of labor and money in this move is even more fatal to the people.
Unlike other things, there is at least some reason to do it, and then ask the people of the world to start the well, it is simply ridiculous and nonsense, what is the difference between this operation and the faint king?
At this moment, the eldest grandson Wuji understood what His Majesty meant by what he said that day.
Your Majesty voluntarily smeared himself with dirty water for the sake of the people of the world.
is such a monarch of the people, why is my Tang Dynasty not strong?
It's just a pity that His Majesty can only use the method of pouring dirty water on himself to smear himself.
Otherwise, if you tell the world that there will be a major drought this summer, it is simply nonsense.
Who will believe it?
If he hadn't seen Zhao Gongzi's ability to reach the sky, he wouldn't have been.
The following ministers are constantly frantically exporting, and His Majesty's move is very incorrect.
At this moment, Datang is in external trouble, how can it be worried internally?
If it was usual, he Wei Zheng would have opened his big mouth and squirted for the first time.
Only this time, when I heard what His Majesty said, I glanced at the ministers.
Especially when I saw the eldest grandson Wuji and others, I secretly thought in my heart that His Majesty did this, and he must have heard what Zhao Gongzi meant in Zhaojiazhuang.
Since it is Zhao Gongzi's intention, His Majesty must have his reasons for doing this.
In this case, I won't spray, but my thoughts are beautiful, and I looked up and looked at it again.
I saw that his eldest grandson Wuji gave Wei Zheng a look.
What are you doing Wei Zheng?
Your Majesty has already made such a move, and you still haven't started spraying?
Isn't this telling everyone that you Wei Zheng also knows about this matter, or does it mean that you Wei Zheng has really completely changed?
Seeing this look, Wei Zheng understood in seconds, and shouted in his heart.
Oops, my position is special, and I almost missed His Majesty's big event, and then coughed lightly.
With a cough from him. Several of the other ministers stopped.
Recently, Wei Zheng's performance in the court has been seen by everyone, and everyone's hearts have long been weird.
Could it be that he Wei Zheng has really changed?
Until this cough, everyone was overjoyed, it turned out that he hadn't changed, but he had to appear at a critical moment.
"Your Majesty, what has happened to you recently, Wei Chen is staring at it deadly.
It's just that Wechen has been busy with some things recently, and he didn't directly point it out to His Majesty, it was Wechen's fault.
But what Your Majesty said today about digging a well is simply nonsense.
This move costs the people and money, and it simply does not put aside the interests of the people of our Datang Dynasty.
What is the difference between what Your Majesty did today and Emperor Yang of Sui mobilized the people to build ships and canals in order to be able to go to the south of the Yangtze River to enjoy the flowers?
Could it be that my Tang Dynasty is going to follow the old path of the Sui Dynasty?
Now in the north, in the steppe of the Turks, my Tang Dynasty is fighting against the Turks.
Although His Majesty also said it just now, the news from the grassland that my Datang has won several games.
But how can the Turkic power be underestimated?
Are we so proud just because we have won a few games?
I beg your Majesty to retract this ridiculous order! ”
Everyone stretched out their thumbs one after another, Wei Zheng is Wei Zheng, and he really deserves to be called a god-like man.
Angry at Your Majesty, completely unscrupulous.
I didn't say it before, because those things were too small, and he had to rely on him Wei Zheng at the critical moment.
Our big guy owes Wei Zheng a sorry, I thought he had changed, but it turned out that Wei Zheng had not changed, and he was still the same man
"Your Majesty, Weichen also thinks that what Dr. Wei said is not unreasonable.
It's spring now, and our Datang is in good weather, does Your Majesty mean that we Datang dig more wells in advance to prevent it from happening? ”
The eldest grandson Wuji stood up and made a round, and the meaning of several people could be understood in an instant.
Li Er nodded.
"That's right, there was a drought during my Tang Wude years, and everywhere the drought went, there was no grass, which made my Datang suffer heavy losses.
Now that my Datang has entered the Turkic war, although he and the Turks have suffered heavy losses because of this heavy snow, they still have their heritage.
If there is a drought in Datang this year, then there will be real internal and external troubles.
Just taking advantage of the fact that the world is very stable, we must also take precautions. ”
"Huh? Your Majesty, can you conclude that there will be a big drought in my Datang this summer?
Now in this spring season, my Tang Dynasty is in good weather, how can I say that there is a great drought?
In other words, the drought is simply nonsense! ”
"Hmph, Wei Zheng,
When did I say that there would be a big drought in my Tang Dynasty in the summer? ”
Li Er can't say this, and he can admit that he said it.
If this is spread, it will definitely cause a lot of confusion.
"I'm just saying that there was a great drought during the Wude years, and now it's time for me to go north to fight.
If there is a major drought this summer, won't my Datang have internal and external troubles?
All I did was to plan for the worst.
Well, I have made up my own mind in this matter, and I will come to spread my will and summon the world! ”
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty?"
"Okay, Doctor Wei, what do you mean, I know, you are for the people of the world.
Why am I not for the people of the world? Retreat! ”
With Li Er's retreat, the ministers shouted to send His Majesty.
Li Er returned to the Taiji Hall and started his busy work again.
On the other hand, this news came out of the court and announced to the whole world.
When the people of the whole world heard the news, they only felt at a loss.
What, His Majesty asked them to organize manpower to start digging wells in villages and villages.
Today, at least one well in these villages is enough for everyone to drink.
There are also larger villages, with two wells or even three at the east end of the village and the west end of the village.
His Majesty also asked them to dig wells, what does this mean?
Immediately after that, another piece of news came out of the grapevine.
Your Majesty said that there will be a major drought in Datang this summer, and all this done today is to prepare for the drought this summer.
This gossip came out, and the people of the whole world talked about it.
This spring, the whole Tang Dynasty is in good weather, why is there a big drought in the summer?
Besides, this summer hasn't arrived yet, and there is still a long time, no matter how powerful Your Majesty is, he can't calculate everything in a few months, right?
If Your Majesty can predict that there will be a great drought in the summer, then why don't you calculate everything in advance and prepare?
Of course, these things are just whispered among the people, but they dare not discuss them in person.
If you discuss it face-to-face and question Your Majesty's remarks, isn't that looking for death?
Some people think that Your Majesty is just looking for trouble, and it is completely nonsense.
Although the people's voices were very small, these words also reached Li Er's ears.
Hearing the discussion of this group of people, Li Er slapped the table vigorously, very angry.
How can this be true, who spread this rumor to me?
I never said anything about the drought in the summer.
There must have been someone who maliciously did something and publicized it among the people.
Nowadays, many people actually think that they have made something out of nothing, and the more they think about this, the more angry Li Er becomes.
I scolded angrily in my heart, this group of untouchables, which of these things I have done today is not all for them?
And they don't understand what I'm thinking.
Could it be that as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he will also harm the people of the Tang Dynasty?
"Your Majesty, the reason why the people are the people, where do they have such a high consciousness?
It's nothing more than a group of people who listen to the wind and the rain.
It's just that His Majesty used self-blackening to pour ink on his body.
On the contrary, it will make the people of the world misunderstand Your Majesty and think that Your Majesty wants to commit atrocities.
Presumably, when this summer comes, when there is a drought, all the people will really experience it personally, and they will understand that what His Majesty is doing today is really for them. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji was very angry when he saw His Majesty, and opened his mouth to persuade and calm His Majesty's anger.
It's just that I'm also very confused, who spread these news?
Hearing what the eldest grandson Wuji said, Li Er, who was originally very angry, gradually calmed down.
That's it, as an emperor, you have to bear what everyone can't bear, everything is as usual, let yourself go all the way before the summer comes.
