Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Fool Thorns Shi Li Kuan

Wei Zheng's words made Li Kuan directly stunned, what you said was so direct, aren't you afraid that the two of us will be hung together?

Moreover, aren't you afraid that the families will impeach you to death?

Li Kuan couldn't help but complain in his heart, and retorted: "I am not using power for personal gain, on the contrary, I am making profits for the people." ”

Wei Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly, the corners of his mouth rose, and he provoked a slightly mocking smile: "Working with forced labor, you don't need to pay wages, isn't it state-owned assets for private use?" ”

"Replace payroll with factory products."

"Enclosure to build factories, these can be regarded as deceiving the people."

Wei Zheng asked the old god presence.

The scene was a little embarrassing for a while, Li Kuan squinted his eyes, these are not secrets, but Wei Zheng just came, how did he know?

Then there is only one case, someone is suing.

It's a real annoyance.

Shaking his head, Li Kuan said confidently: "But if the people feel that they have not suffered a loss, as long as the people are willing, how can you care about me?" ”

Wei Zheng laughed, and it was indeed the case.

Li Kuan invited Wei Zheng to a private seafood dinner, and said that he invited it himself, and it didn't cost the government a penny.

Wei Zheng said that I can't help it even if you spend it, I'm poor and can't afford it.

After eating and letting Wei Zheng rest for a night, Li Kuan took Wei Zheng to the county road construction site not far from Fucheng the next day.

On the construction site, a group of people are working on the road with tools.

It was nine o'clock in the morning when they went, and it was time for the workers to eat.

Wei Zheng was stunned when he saw that the people in the government were giving out food, this was too early.

Li Kuan yawned and explained: "It's all heavy physical work, and these people don't eat at home in the morning like they are sick." ”

"If they don't eat breakfast, they don't have the strength to work, so I arranged for a meal, after all, I can't affect my project because of one or two meals."

Wei Zheng sneered, and glanced at Li Kuan with disdain, you are the one who is sick, you are an idiot, how poor the people are, come to work here, where are you willing to eat at home.

Although Wei Zheng had eaten in the morning, when he saw that the food was being distributed here, he still followed, took a bowl, and prepared to see what they were eating, and eat some together.

Seafood porridge, a section of salted fish, a steamed bun, and then it's gone.

Seeing this dish, Wei Zheng was very satisfied, it was very good, much better than other places.

Li Kuan did not follow Wei Zheng, but sat in the carriage and drank tea.

Wei Zheng was wearing a short shirt, which was not much different from ordinary people, and the difference was that his face was ruddy, and he was healthier than ordinary people.

What made Wei Zheng strange was that when he turned around, he found that the steamed buns and salted fish of the people around him were gone, and a group of people were looking for a place to drink porridge.

Wei Zheng frowned and found a place to sit down, ready to see what was going on here, it was impossible to eat as soon as he turned around, there must be a secret, as for Li Kuan waiting for him, he didn't care at all, let Li Kuan wait, he was a minister from Chang'an, what if he let the local ministers wait and so on.

A small official on patrol saw Wei Zheng taking a bite of salted fish and a mouthful of porridge, and then a bite of steamed buns, and couldn't help but scold: "You are new here, why are you so greedy, I don't know that at noon on the day of the meeting, one person will give three steamed buns, three salted fish, and one cooked vegetable." ”

"Will you have another dinner when the sun goes down?"

"If you save a steamed bun in the morning, one at noon, and another one in the evening, won't your family have dinner?"

"You idiot, don't you know that our assassin is a fool, you don't understand the people's feelings, and you always want to send more food?"

The little official reprimanded Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng knew from the accent of this little official that he was not from the Li family, but simply a native of Chunzhou.

Looking at the other people around him who looked surprised, it was obvious that there were many people like him who had just come to work and directly ate too much.

Wei Zheng smiled awkwardly, so he stayed behind and worked with the people.

Sure enough, at noon and at night, as the little official said, those people also left some of their food and took it home secretly after work in the evening.

What shocked Wei Zheng the most was that each person could still receive ten cents as wages.

This shocked Wei Zheng and asked the little official who paid the money: "Isn't the conscription not paying?" ”

The little official disdainfully told Wei Zheng: "No culture, this is called winter labor subsidy, work hard for a month, save 300 Wen, buy two more fish for your family during the New Year, and add two clothes to the children at home." ”

Wei Zheng took the money and went back embarrassedly.

In the carriage, Li Kuan was showing Minglan palmistry, and Minglan giggled.

Wei Zheng saw the scene of the two laughing at each other, squinted his eyes, and snorted coldly, the man is one meter four five, and the woman is one meter six five, and the play is quite flowery.

Wei Zheng put ten cents on Li Kuan's table, and snorted coldly: "I talked to other people, you are not putting on a show, you are really giving, His Royal Highness the King of Chu, I can sue you now for the crime of stealing state property." ”

Li Kuan glanced at Wei Zheng, looked at the joy in his eyes, and said casually: "This is called winter labor subsidy, working in winter, your hands will freeze, the country is people-oriented, and you need to issue some herb treatment, but unfortunately Chunzhou Thorn Shi is incompetent, and if he can't find it, he can only give ten cents to one person." ”

"I'm willing to write a plea."

Wei Zheng snorted coldly again: "Okay, I'm waiting for your petition in Menxia Province." ”

Li Kuan glanced at Wei Zheng again, this old thing, really plans to normalize this subsidy?

You say that I steal state property, but you are a thief in the Tang Dynasty.

The sun was setting, Wei Zheng followed Li Kuan back to the mansion to prepare for a night's rest, and then go back tomorrow to continue checking.

On the way back to the palace, Wei Zheng entered the city gate and found that some courtyards were open, and the gatehouse collected money from the people who came in and out to let them live in it.

This strange scene made Wei Zheng stunned, why did he collect money to live.

Especially those people who are holding large and small things, and it seems that they are here to buy things.

Li Kuan glanced at Wei Zheng's eyes and explained: "Those houses are all owned by Lingnan thieves, they went out to loot, but they want to change their reputation, so I told them that they can rent their houses to the people cheaply, and pay a penny for one night." ”

"There are always some people who come to the city to buy things with their wages and can't go back at night, and now it's very cold in winter, and they can sleep in a bed at night for a penny, so they don't want to sleep on the street."

When Wei Zheng heard this, he smiled very happily, it's really good, Li Kuan did a good job.

At night, Wei Zheng wrote what he saw and heard in the candle.

And tried his best to think about how to help Li Kuanyuan about his violations.

Although Li Kuan's performance is wholeheartedly for the people, he is indeed stealing the wealth of the Tang government.

This is an easy place for others to attack.

Under the moonlight, in the candlelight, Li Kuan was sleeping with Minglan in his arms, and Wei Zheng was trying his best to use his knowledge to help Li Kuanyuan leave a handle when he was in power.
