"This... Probably a minister... Looks kinder. ”

"So, I just look disgusting?" Emperor Jing Xing teased.

When Li Changkong heard this, he was stunned, thinking why this emperor is not authentic, so he can dig a pit for himself.

Emperor Jing Xing also shook his head and smiled, and said, "I don't want to listen to what you say, you go and call people, I want to hear with my own ears why they are willing to stay in the bitter cold land of Xishan and work hard." ”

When Li Changkong heard this, he was a little helpless, thinking that he could still be a fraudster in northern Myanmar?

This person was hired with a lot of money, can he still be tied up?

However, when the emperor spoke, he didn't say much, so he could only do it.

A moment later, a fifty-year-old man dressed as a farmer, with dark skin and a strong Yizhou accent, walked over.

When the civil and military officials saw it, they couldn't help frowning.

Fifty years old in Daqian can already be called an advanced age, and he should have been at home for a long time.

In Li Changkong's place, he still has to carry a hoe and work every day, which makes people feel a little unbearable.

The stakes are high for the birth of this artifact.

Emperor Jingxing has already ordered that all the ministers in the court, but anyone who wants to come can come to observe.

This order was also transmitted to the East Palace.

And in line with the principle of joining in the fun and never being absent, the prince Liu Yu naturally came.

At this time, he looked at Li Changkong's operation, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

You don't pick so many young and strong people, but you pick an old one, in vain you Lao Li still boasts of being smart on weekdays.

Is......

Liu Yu was a little helpless, but he was already thinking about how to keep Li Changkong later.

But with his temperament, it is estimated that he can only hold Emperor Jing Xing's legs and cry, begging him for mercy.

At the front of the team, Emperor Jing Xing looked at the sweaty and panting old farmer in front of him, and his face was already a little unpleasant.

After glaring at Li Changkong, he made his tone as gentle as possible, and said to the old man: "Old man, I see that you are also old, why don't you go home to rest?" ”

"Rest? The old man laughed, I have lived most of my life, and I have never stopped. ”

"Haven't stopped? Why is that? ”

"I have to make money to support my family, this... I won't hide it from you, the eldest son in the family has just given birth to a baby, and the younger son has just married a wife, which is the time to use money. ”

"Their money, can you make money by an old man?"

"Besides, there are so many places to make money, why do you want to come to Xishan?"

"I think it's a remote place, and there are a lot of mosquitoes. Now that you are old, and the weather is getting hot, is it not a sin to do things here? ”

When the old man heard this, his face darkened. looked at Emperor Jing Xing, just there with a pestle, and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Emperor Jing Xing was also a little puzzled: "Old man, why don't you speak?" ”

The old man remained silent, shook his head, and turned to leave, as if he didn't want to cause trouble.

Seeing this, Li Changkong said: "Li San, what do you say, if something happens, I'll bear it for you." ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Sancai put his mind at ease, looked at Emperor Jing Xing, and said in a not very friendly tone: "Master, it's not that I don't want to say it, it's that you listen to this, and I feel uncomfortable with the old man." ”

"This west mountain is a little off, and there are more mosquitoes. But... That's a lot of work! ”

"The monthly amount of money is more than several times that of other places."

"Besides, Master Li still takes care of our food."

"Where can I find such a good errand?"

"Besides, it's not just that I don't want to go. You are looking for people everywhere in this western mountain, and ask anyone if they are willing to go? ”

"Nobody wants to!"

"Master Li didn't just pay us, he also saved a lot of people's lives!"

"I am from Yizhou, and after the wind and sea disaster, I fled to Qiandu City."

"We're refugees, we're old, we just want to find something to do, and we don't have a place to ask for it."

"At that time, the family was supported by two sons."

"Not to mention marrying a wife and having children, it's hard to live."

"Later, when I heard that Master Li was recruiting workers in Xishan, I came to try my luck."

"Who would have thought that the treatment is very good!"

"An old man like me can find a job to do."

"Well done, build us a house!"

"I'm a handful of old people, but I haven't been buried yet, when I encounter this kind of good thing, I don't do more, and when I am completely old and can't do it, then it's called regret."

"I'll tell you no joke, a few months ago, Xiao Lao'er's family was so poor that there was not even a thatched shed."

"It's different now, I have a house, and I can eat meat during the New Year's holidays!"

"The boss also saved a sum of money, saying that he wanted to find a private school for my eldest grandson!"

"What is this? This is hope! ”

"After reading the book, it will be different, and you will be able to take the imperial examination in the future!"

"Follow me, and his father is digging in the loess like this, then it's not a person all the way!"

"We have received such a great favor from Master Li, you just let the little old man go, what is this called?"

"Little Lao'er has never read a book and doesn't understand any big truths. But the little old man knows that he can't be that ungrateful person, and if he receives the favor of others, he has to pay it back. ”

"If you have anything else, ask someone else, the little old man is going to work."

As he spoke, the old man wiped the fine sweat on his forehead with a sweat towel again, and turned around and walked towards the field.

Seeing this scene, many ministers shouted angrily, and even worse, scolded directly.

"Li Changkong, you are so bold, you dare to connive at such a diao people, and make a lot of nonsense in front of Your Majesty!"

"That guy is really bold, Li Changkong, if you want to atone for your sins, go and take that person and put him in prison."

As soon as these words came out, Li Changkong felt extremely harsh, and immediately sneered: "One by one, they are all quite capable." ”

"Your Majesty hasn't spoken yet, and you jumped out first? Is His Majesty in charge? Or do you have the final say? ”

"You! The thief dares to tell right and wrong here! ”

"That's it!" Just when the two sides were about to quarrel, Emperor Jing Xing suddenly shouted.

For a moment, neither side dared to speak.

Emperor Jing Xing turned around and looked at Li Changkong with burning eyes, and after a long time, he said, "How many people like him are there here?" ”

"Probably hundreds."

When Emperor Jing Xing heard this, he nodded, shook his head again, and after half a sound, he spit out a breath of turbidity and said with emotion: "It's my dereliction of duty!" ”

"These homeless people, these hungry people, are my people!"

"It should all be settled by the imperial court."

"But did the imperial court do it? No! If it weren't for Li Changkong, these people would have been lying on the side of the streets of Qiandu City. ”

"This is not only a dereliction of duty, but also a dereliction of duty!"

"That man is one of my people, and you want to take him? Are you going to take it with me? Emperor Jing Xing seemed to be really angry, and said in a fierce voice.
