"Yi, if according to what you said, the number of people participating is too small, now is not the time for farming, but the time for farming, and there are more people who have no work to do." Liu Tong said the time period he was in, which showed to the greatest extent that the current time period was different from the previous time period.

"Hasn't Zichuan been working on infrastructure projects? Isn't it true that for the labor force? How can there be so many more people? Lu Yi's face couldn't help wrinkling, he didn't understand at all, in this almost daily situation, was there anyone who didn't want to?

"Yi, have you forgotten? Now there are too many people in Taishan, and the so-called road construction is more in the direction of Qingzhou, in the interior of Taishan County, mainly for expansion. Liu Tong immediately replied, the reason.

Although because of the leisure time, many ordinary people are also willing to take ox carts to Qingzhou, which is hundreds of miles away, to work, in exchange for food and money, and reduce the pressure on their families.

But the people who do this are not the majority after all, and in this case, there will naturally be a lot of people who stay in Taishan County.

Thanks to this year's bumper harvest, many farmers who have surplus grain at home are naturally more willing to work nearby in their spare time than to Qingzhou, which is hundreds of miles away.

"In that case, why did Tongtong choose this way?" Lu Yi thought about it for a while, and he didn't understand what the benefits of such a way were.

"Well, forget it." Liu Tong looked at Lu Yi, who still didn't understand, and hurriedly said, "If I pull these things directly from the construction area to various villages and towns, and then distribute them, do you think these things were issued by the emperor's uncle or the government?" ”

"Of course it is..."Lu Yi said casually, but then he was stunned and reacted.

"No matter what, the people of these villages and towns may not be grateful to the government at that time, after all, the government has provided disaster relief and rescued the people, which is justified." Liu Tong smiled and shook his head, as if it was a very ordinary thing.

Lu Yi thought about this for a while, and nodded in disbelief, it seems that things are really like this.

"What's more, these people, for the trust of the government, Taishan County is fine, and other places in Qingzhou can only smile." Liu Tong's tone revealed a kind of ease, and he said casually, "What's more, we are still using the banner of the emperor's uncle to give these things to these homeless people who have just moved over." ”

"Is this for?" Lu Yi hasn't finished asking yet.

"Of course, it is for the sake of the people, since the government is not trustworthy, then the emperor uncle can definitely be worthy of their trust, in this case, the people are willing to believe in the emperor." Liu Tong had a smile on his face and said happily, "How can the icing on the cake be compared to charcoal in the snow?" Even if it is just this simple behavior, the people's recognition of the emperor's rule can be much higher. ”

"So in order to prove that these things are not issued by the government, but have to go through the Mi family for a transit and spend money to buy them?" Lu Yi seemed to understand in his mind, so he asked on the spot.

"In addition to this, there are many benefits, money, which itself is something that needs to be circulated." Liu Tong took out a copper coin from his waist, showed it, and then said, "Spend tens of millions of dollars to place an order with the Mi family, and then the Mi family submits the demand to the manufacturing area, and after it is manufactured by the manufacturing area, it will be transported by the Mi family, and then sent to each village and town, and handed over to the local administrator." ”

"Is it just one more step that the government will become a private one?" Lu Yi couldn't help frowning at this, always feeling a little strange.

"Not only these, even if it is just a short additional step, these things have also changed from transfer to commercial purchase, and the tax generated will also be handed over to Chen Xi to promote the prosperity of commerce, not to mention that because of this large number of orders, more craftsmen will be needed, more transportation personnel, and a large number of jobs will be provided." Liu Tong nodded, agreeing with Lu Yi's words, and at the same time supplemented.

"Isn't this wrong, Tong Tongling paid money, bought so many things, handed them over to the Mi family for transportation, and then gave them to the administrator, in the name of the senior brother, they distributed them door-to-door, so didn't the money return to Chen Zichuan's hands in the end?" Lu Yi sorted out the order in between, thinking that in the process, whether it was paying taxes or purchasing, there was a lot of money flowing into Chen Zichuan's hands, which was not like Liu Tong's style at all.

"That's right, this money will indeed flow into Chen Zichuan's hands, it's not strange at all, this is what he deserves, normal tax payment and circulation, nothing strange!" Liu Tong thought about the content and felt that it was normal.

"Tongtong, don't you feel heartache when you give so much money to Zichuan?" Lu Yi looked at Liu Tong, whose face was extremely calm, and asked directly, "You used to just pay taxes, but you were talking about Zichuan." ”

"Yi, it's different." Liu Tong shook his head at this, and then said to Lu Yi, "Although I have a lot of money in my hand now, in fact, this money is not actually mine, rather, I am more like a transit station here, and this money just needs to be circulated here." ”

"The money isn't yours?" Lu Yi was even more puzzled when he heard this.

"Do you think that with the ability of Zichuan, how can there be so many government affairs in a mere Taishan County, and it takes so much time every day?" Liu Tong shook his head and said calmly.

Lu Yi recalled Chen Xi's state during this time, which was no different from before.

But after thinking about it carefully, I realized the difference.

In the past, when there were not so many people in the government affairs hall, Chen Xi's working hours were so long, but now when there are so many more people in the government affairs hall, Chen Xi's working hours have not decreased.

How is this possible? You must know that even if she Lu Yi is responsible for the workload, in this case, it has been greatly reduced, and only the calculation and calculation aspect is retained.

"So what is Zichuan thinking about during this time, I see that when he goes to work normally, he seems to have been thinking about something?" Lu Yi looked at Liu Tong, as if he didn't know something, "But his government affairs don't seem to be any different from before." ”

"Zichuan is only seventeen years old this year, he is still young, and he still has the time and motivation to continue to move forward." Liu Tong thought of this, and was a little incredulous.

Basically, on this road, to the extent that there are few people, Chen Xi is still continuing to study, learning those ancient books that have not been preserved at all in the books of later generations.
