The people gathered outside the city were waiting, but the one who had summoned them had not yet arrived.

It's just that these people are not in a hurry, nor are they impatient in the slightest.

On the one hand, it is because it is the county guard of Huiji County who summoned them, and it is better to provoke the king of Hades than the official, which is something that everyone knows.

On the other hand, these people all know that the county guard of Huiji County is a good person, or a good official.

If the county guard of Huiji County is a good person, and some people have an opinion, then it is said that this county guard of Huiji County is a good official, and the entire Huiji County has absolutely no opinion.

Because he's really a good officer.

Since Yang Tianyi came to Huiji County, the atmosphere in Huiji County has been cleared, and the lives of all Qianshou have become better.

Of course –

Among them, there is the merit of His Majesty and the Prime Minister's change of law, but it is more the credit of Yang Tianyi.

Because Your Majesty and the Prime Minister are far away in the sky, if this county guard is a black-hearted person, even the best policies will not fall on their heads.

How can there be so many good officials in the world?

As far as they heard, in the past few years since they began to send county guards and pass judgments, a number of people have died.

The first group of county guards are still alive and even serving as county guards and above, and there are very few people.

Therefore, it is not easy to be a good official, and it is even more difficult to be a good official now.

At this time, Yang Tianyi, who was staggering in the carriage and with emotion on his face, also felt the same.

It is difficult to be a man, it is even more difficult to be an official, and it is even more difficult to be a good official.

It's just that Yang Tianyi has done all this.

He looked at the people around him, with curiosity on his face: "Why are they so sure that they will be able to use this group of people soon, or even only for a little more than a month?" ”

Yang Tianyi was a little incomprehensible.

According to the plan made by Prime Minister Chen Cheng, that is, half of his teacher, after attacking the land of Dongyue, they were going to carry out a construction project, to build a city at the mouth of the coast, which is named "Yajiao".

The name of that city is "Heavenly Sea", which together means the end of the earth.

Yang Tianyi's face was a little worried, not that he doubted the decision of His Majesty and the Prime Minister, but that he clearly knew how difficult it was to build a city.

Especially building a city out of thin air.

He looked at Lu Sheng beside him and said, "Shouldn't these people be recruited for a while longer?" ”

"In fact, this amount of money does not need to be paid by the central court, and the finances of our county are enough to afford this piece of content."

Lu Sheng shook his head, with the same puzzled look on his face: "I don't know either." ”

He spread his hands and said, "This matter was decided by His Majesty and the Prime Minister, and we will implement it." ”

"Your Majesty and Prime Minister have never made mistakes."

Lu Sheng touched his chin: "But on the way I came, I had some guesses about these things. ”

"Think about it, what are we calling these people for?"

Yang Tianyi said: "In order to build a city, in order to cut down forests, and destroy the gathering of miasma. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Tianyi paused, looked at Lu Sheng, and understood in his heart.

He's not stupid, it's just that he's been away from Xianyang City for too long to know a lot of news.

When someone points out some clues, Yang Tianyi can connect everything in an instant.

He said with emotion: "I see. ”

"If the imperial court hires these people, the things they pick up and the trees they cut down will naturally be handed over to the imperial court."

"But if the imperial court doesn't hire them, but only allows them to cut down these forests, this is a good thing for the vast number of Qiantou."

"Because they have firewood for the winter."

Yang Tianyi's voice was full of admiration: "Your Majesty, the prime minister still loves the people so much." ”

"It's a really rare thing."

This is indeed a rare thing, after the rulers have determined their position, they rarely stand at the bottom to look at the problem, and those on the left and right cannot move and cannot really overthrow themselves.

Especially after the advent of firearms.

In Yang Tianyi's opinion, even if the first emperor and the prime minister at this time continued to use the harsher set of laws of the Qin Dynasty at the beginning, there would be no problem.

Because with firearms, the threat of cold weapons is greatly reduced.

At this time, firearms were only under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and it was impossible for the rest of the people to manufacture firearms, nor could they use firearms, so that a few big nobles could not rebel.

Because the emperor has a big weapon of murder in his hands.

The people of this era have not considered the rebellion of the common people and the leaders of the Qian, but even if they think of it, they will not have any other opinions.

】

Under firearms, all beings are equal.

Therefore, Chen Ke and the First Emperor, who were still able to treat these Qianshou with kindness, and even thought about these small things very thoughtfully, became a kind person from the heart.

.........

Zhangtai Palace

At this time, Chen Ke was complaining to Ying Zheng about this, and Ying Zheng's face was curious.

He deliberately diverted the subject.

Because just now Chen Ke's kid was asking who leaked the secret to the crown prince Fusu, causing him to be knocked on a bamboo pole, and it took half a month of delicious food to appease His Royal Highness the prince.

He looked at Chen Ke with a little curiosity on his face: "Chen Ke, after you let Yang Tianyi pass the first month, you will no longer hire or requisition those people, but simply allow them to cut down trees." ”

"Is it purely for the sake of Qianshou?"

Chen Ke was observing this endgame, and when he heard this, he had a slightly blank look on his face: "Why does Your Majesty think like this?" ”

"Of course, it's not just for the sake of Qiantou."

Chen Ke answered this question very sincerely.

"But when I was thinking about this plan, I did think about this problem and took care of it."

Ying Zheng's eyes flashed with gossip, can anyone in this world refuse gossip and eat melons?

A: No.

"And what was your initial thought?"

Chen Ke coughed lightly a little embarrassed, looked at Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, do you remember one thing?" ”

"When we make food, inventions, systems, and other messy things, what is being consumed at a rapid rate?"

Ying Zheng's expression was stunned, and then he said with a dark face: "You don't want to tell me, I don't have any money, right?" ”

Chen Ke spread his hands: "Your Majesty, you won't run out of money." ”

This sentence didn't make Ying Zheng breathe a sigh of relief, and the next sentence came out.

"But at present, the tax revenue of the national treasury has not been collected, so it is indeed a little tight."

Chen Ke made a very slight gesture, but Ying Zheng rolled his eyes.

He won't believe Chen Ke anymore.....

I don't know who guaranteed it to be only a little tight last time, but it ended up like that.

He raised his forehead and sighed: "What does that have to do with this incident?" ”
