Chapter 68: The Happiness of Bitterness

Li Qing took a sip of wine and muttered:

"This thing can't be done overnight, it needs a long time of accumulation and operation; Such a large grassland, a problem that has not been solved by all dynasties, and even entered the Central Plains by the Yuan people, how can it be said that it can be subdued? ”

Putting down the wine glass, Li Qing took a chopstick dish and leaned comfortably on the back of the chair, "Actually, you don't have to subdue the whole grassland at once, it's unrealistic."

We can radiate a little bit, for example, there is a large area outside the gate that is the Ming Dynasty, and the Yuan people step on the boundary monument even if they commit a crime, and they can be used when the time comes. ”

Yu Qian's eyes lit up: "What does Mr. mean...... Build a ranch? ”

"No, the correct way to open it is to open up the wasteland and farm the land!" Li Qing said with a smile, "The income of nomadism is far less than farming, one acre of crops can easily feed a young man, and one acre of grass... How much meat can be produced?

Farming is the only way to attract the grassland tribes to the Ming Dynasty. ”

Li Qing said: "The grassland tribes regard plundering as a matter of course, and the root cause is that grazing is not enough to support survival;

They are fierce and murderous, not because they are naturally bloodthirsty, but because they want to survive. ”

Yu Qian was stunned and nodded: "Mr. Gaojian, it's true, but... Liaodong has just stabilized, and if you let people go to open up wasteland outside the border, it will inevitably give people a feeling of being abandoned by the Ming Dynasty, which is not very good! ”

"There's still a long way to go, so there's no need to dwell on this now." Li Qing said with a smile, "This is not something that can be solved by a generation, and we can't be in a hurry, and we can't be in a hurry." ”

Yu Qian nodded with a wry smile and sighed lightly: "Yes, no matter what, I can't see that day." ”

"Uh... Don't talk about that. Seeing that Li Qing was silent, Yu Qian hurriedly changed the topic, as if he was even more taboo than Li Qing, "The prince has grown up strongly, and now he has the demeanor of a wise man, although he is young, he is quite mature. ”

Can you be immature, at a young age, you fell in love with a palace maid who was seventeen years older than you, which can no longer be said to be mature, but precocious.

Thinking of this, Li Qing couldn't help but be curious: "By the way, does he hate me to the core?" ”

"Uh......" Yu Qian was embarrassed, "The prince is indeed right to Mr...... Some complaints, but it's okay. ”

It's a good hammer, I'm afraid that the bear kid won't kill my heart...... Li Qing didn't debunk Yu Qian, and said evilly: "If you hear him say bad things about me again, you can say that I am also for his good." ”

"......" Yu Qian was speechless: Do you want to punish people for killing? Are you still annoyed by him, you are not annoyed enough?

"Sir, I think...... It's better not to be so stiff with the prince. Yu Qian persuaded: "The prince is the prince of the country, and he will take over the treasure in the future, you ...... like this."

Li Qing said indifferently: "It's okay, I will leave the court for a while when the time comes, and I won't use this identity again." ”

He sighed and said, "The course of the giant ship of Daming has been deflected, and it is developing in a better direction, a more correct direction, and there will be fewer and fewer places to use me in the future;

I won't be so urgent anymore, after so many years, I also want to rest, and it's time to rest. ”

Yu Qian was silent and sighed lightly: "Mr. has done his best for Daming, Daming can have today's weather, Mr. has made great contributions, but it is just ...... It's too bitter. ”

"I don't need you to say this, if you really want to say it, it is also the Ming Emperor, and they owe me." Li Qing snorted, "The Zhu family owes me, and I can't finish talking about it for three days and three nights." ”

Yu Qian chuckled and nodded, he was used to Li Qing being ungentlemanly, and he also felt that Li Qing was not arrogant. ΟиΠͺ.ōΓG

When he entered the court, Li Qing was already a man of the hour, and his achievements were extremely dazzling.

After entering the court, he deeply understood Li Qing's ability and contribution to the Ming Dynasty.

If you really want to talk about meritorious deeds, Li Qing can definitely be crowned king, a living king with a different surname.

……

When Li Qing returned home, it was late at night.

Zhu Gaoxu's grandfather and grandson both fell asleep, Li Qing took a bath, leaned on the recliner to enjoy the night view, and enjoyed the refreshing night breeze.

Before I knew it, I fell into a deep sleep......

As soon as the sky was bright, there was a knock on the door, Li Qing got up to open the door, looked at the craftsmen who were holding the guys' things, and said in surprise:

"Coming so early? Have you eaten yet? ”

"Back to the master, the little ones have all eaten." The foreman smiled, "Isn't this the old man's urgency, didn't disturb the old man's rest?" ”

Li Qing shook his head and chuckled: "No, let's all come in." ”

A group of mermaids rushed in, and then began to work hard.

In this era, people who rely on craftsmanship to eat are very attentive to their reputation, and never engage in such things as vain heads.

The work they can take is only as big as ten miles and eight villages, and if their reputation stinks, their jobs will be gone, and there is no need to worry about the quality of the project.

Li Qing was idle and bored, so he chatted with the foreman without a match.

"How many houses can you build in a year?"

"Hey~ What's a good way to say this? It mainly depends on luck, and if you are lucky, you can build him fifty or sixty houses. The foreman smiled, "My lord is not prepared, in fact, if there are materials, it is quite fast;

To build a house, the main thing is to build a base, mud, and beams......"

He talks eloquently, talks about professional knowledge, and while showing off, he is also advertising in disguise, so that customers can believe in his ability, and when they are willing to build a house later, they will think of him as soon as possible.

Three hundred and sixty lines, the line is the champion.

Being a mason is not a matter of strength, and Li Qing has also gained a lot of knowledge, although there is a high probability that he will not be able to use it, but it is also quite interesting.

Digging the foundation was a tiring job, and in mid-February, it was still very cold in the morning, but they were all sweating profusely, and even their clothes were wet.

"Rest, I'm not in such a hurry." Li Qing said.

A man grinned and said, "We are all used to it, we are not afraid of being tired, we are afraid that there is no work to do, Lao Sun, don't patronize and chat with the master, come over and take a hand, move the stone grinder, it's time to ram it soon." ”

"Here we are." The foreman laughed and scolded, "You can't see me idle for a while!" ”

I'm not afraid of being tired, I'm afraid of not having a job...... Li Qing sighed and felt a lot.

This is the true portrayal of the people at the bottom of the Ming Dynasty, although the longitudinal comparison, the Ming Dynasty at this stage has been very good, but the people are still suffering.

Of course, this is just Li Qing's opinion.

In fact, the people don't feel that way, they feel very happy, they have enough to eat, they have clothes to wear, and they can occasionally eat a meal of meat, and they are very satisfied.

As for tired...... It's nothing.

As the man said, get used to it!

Yes, for thousands of years, they are all used to it...... Li Qing sighed, quite sentimental.

That extremely brilliant prosperous world, these people have not tasted it, and they don't have that opportunity.

"Sir, I bought the buns, you can taste them." Zhu Qijin politely handed over the paper bag, "It's still hot." ”

"No need, I'll go for a walk." Li Qing waved his hand gently, "You can eat with your grandfather." ”

~

Li Qing wandered around Lianjiatun, watching children playing with pee and mud, watching every household cooking smoke, watching the people squatting at the door of their own house eating breakfast, while chatting with their neighbors on the opposite side, and habitually licking the edge of the bowl when eating porridge.

This was put aside a hundred years ago, and I didn't dare to eat porridge at the door.

After breakfast, the adults carry their hoes to the fields, and the old men take care of the children......

Li Qing whispered: "Perhaps, for them, this is happiness." ”

It's very hard, but it's very satisfying.

For generations, what they have pursued is nothing more than this kind of life.

Li Qing looked in the direction of the Fengtian Hall of the Imperial Palace, his eyes were cold, and he whispered to himself: "If you don't let them live such a life, then ...... Don't go over it. ”
