After listening to the two of them, Chi De Zuzan was confused for a while, and then figured out clearly. The matter came out of Li Longji's mouth, and after thinking about it, he felt that it was quite simple, and it was really that way.
However, as he listened, Chi De Zuzan was shocked again. He finally discovered that Li Longji was not just casually happy to let people suspend the martial arts exercises, but knew the situation of Xiaobao's tactics.
Give Xiaobao enough time to think about it, and let Xiaobao not worry about other things. Now it seems to be a success. Actually, his own Tubo suffered a second disaster, and so many things were involved.
Including the income from the imperial court, the business paving behavior of the merchants, the transportation and logistics of the local output goods of Tubo, and even the compensation for the loss of the people, etc. are all included.
What's more, the logistical supplies for the war on gluttony a year later have also been obtained in the post-disaster reconstruction, or are they still human? Only a while longer? Xiaobao can consider it, and Li Longji can also analyze it.
Princess Jincheng didn’t think about too many things, she heard that it would bring benefits to Tubo, she only followed with joy. By doing this, her position in Tubo would be more stable in the future. In the past, her stability was relying on Datang’s military strength to do a good job in disaster relief and reconstruction. , What I gained is more popular support.
Then he said and thanked him: "Thank you, Brother Huang and Xiaobao. Without your help, my husband and I would not have received any news until now. Even in these cities, we can only be in a hurry.
Little Treasure, it's no wonder that you can have a good lady like Cuckoo. You can be happy with Cuckoo. Can you start martial arts again without losing too much time? "
"I am enjoying the blessing. I have the cuckoo to accompany him." Zhang Xiaobao looked at Wang Juan and said, got Wang Juan a big eye, and then he said: "It's not okay, there are many things that have not been arranged, and the martial arts must continue to be suspended.
What I'm talking about right now is the issue of reconstruction and compensation for the people of Tubo. The most important thing is that the disaster has never passed. You have to put your mind on this and let Shuiyun take the eagles in the capital. "
Wang Juan agrees: "It is to move the water and clouds, without command, the eagle usually only listens to the orders of the people who raise it, and it is impossible for the eagle to fly with people. Otherwise, it is just a gift. How to transport the materials
Shui Yun can still lead the other eagles. Let Shui Yun help. Fly a few more times. Fresh meat must be prepared in Pengzhou. Don't exhaust the eagles. "
Others sighed one after another, Shuiyun, he was used again at a critical time. It is really important to have a general who can fly.
"If on the sand table, the cuckoo doesn’t get rid of Shuiyun’s ability, the battle will be smoother than it is now. The eagles led by Shuiyun will have no other place in the sky. No hot air balloon or hang gliding wing, no one will want to win air supremacy. .
Your Majesty, the concubines suggested that Shuiyun's children should also be appointed officials. People's children can be officials. Why can't Shuiyun's children? There is also Hongluan. Oh, their children should have learned to fly. It is much later than the other eagles. "
Queen Wang likes Shuiyun the most. She always treats Shuiyun as a real general in her heart. Hearing the cuckoo mention Shuiyun, she helps important officials.
The corner of Li Longji’s mouth smiled again, and he nodded: “Yes, give it to Guaner. Anyone who contributes to my Datang should be praised, even if it’s a beast, Shuiyun’s child, I believe I can follow him in the future. Shuiyun learned the skills.
A year later, I can accompany Xiaobao and the cuckoo on the expedition. I am starting to worry about the cannibalism. A group of eagles like humans are in the sky with hot air balloons and gliding wings. And just now, Xiaobao and the cuckoo said. Umbrellas, unmade planes.
Above the ground, under the clouds, all the areas in the air are occupied by my Datang, hit, hit me fiercely, after the hit, plunder things, and then... Then..."
Li Longji stopped here and looked at Zhang Xiaobao again: "Okay, Xiaobao, I was fooled by you, have you run out of plans?"
"I'm not finished, foster father, has the child mentioned this again?" Zhang Xiaobao asked Gao Lishi with a puzzled look.
Gao Lishi shook his head: "Your Majesty, Xiaobao didn't say anything."
"You two belong to the same family. He didn't say it directly, but he meant it. Do you know what I mean?" Li Longji said to Gao Lishi.
"Understood, your Majesty, please listen carefully." What else can Gao Lishi say? Admit it.
Li Longji snorted: "Xiaobao's idea is that in the future, something plundered from elsewhere can be sent to Datang through that road, right?"
Wang Juan saw that Xiaobao was being bullied, and took the words: "Yes, your majesty, you are too sage, in fact, Xiaobao and I did not expect that you are good, then... Your majesty, you are good, I and Xiaobao are going to discuss other things , Disaster relief is the most important thing."
After Wang Juan finished speaking, he took Zhang Xiaobao and went out, not knowing where they were going to discuss.
Li Longji was stunned, and lowered his head to think about it: "No... Yes, you saw it just now? Xiaobao and Juanjuan discussed it. It's almost two quarters of an hour. He should have rejected many plans, and finally admitted to the present. of.
The two of them, did they think of such a little bit? Whatever I can think of, will they come up with something? Do you believe it or not? "
"The minister thought it was about the same." Gao Lishi agreed.
"I think your ability to hold people is much worse, so I thought, come here, call Xiaobao and the cuckoo back, who knows what they did when they went to a place where no one was there? It’s still theirs to discuss things. Is this important?"
Li Longji glared at Gao Lishi, and the words that followed made the people in the room almost stupid. Is this what the emperor should say
"Look at what? What did I say to them? If you don't call people, I will get close to them like this. Saying Xiaobao, the cuckoo is not willing, call it back and rest for two days. What's the rush?"
Li Longji added another sentence.
Soon, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan came back, each holding a pancake fruit in his hand, the dough sticks were fried well, and they could hear the crackling sound when they bite.
The two of them also carried a pocket made of paper.
Li Longji swallowed: "The cuckoo won't let me say that your husband is anymore. Pull it outside to enjoy the blessing? Did you put hot sauce in the pancake?"
"Wipe it, I'm not unwilling, I'm going to make pancakes for your Majesty. One person, one for each. Taste, Xiaobao's craftsmanship has already been prepared for you, and it hasn't been free, if it weren't for your Majesty. You suspend the martial arts exercises. When you want to eat, the mixed noodles will be blistering."
Wang Juan carried his pockets and delivered them one by one.
When everyone heard that it was made by Xiaobao, they actively picked it up and took a bite. They didn’t taste the taste, so they praised it first, even if the ingredients used are the same as the stalls outside, the techniques and fire control of the stalls are the same. Feel good, psychological effect.
Li Longji first said to Chi De Zuzan and Princess Jincheng: "Eating, the rescue did not stop because you were eating, and things happened. There is no difference between being in a hurry and not being in a hurry. Xiaobao and the cuckoo are probably thinking of ways when they eat, don’t Following the worry, the two of them can't solve it, and it's useless for you to worry."
After speaking, Li Longji took a big bite: "Okay, I haven’t eaten Xiaobao’s food for several days. It’s not easy to eat a pancake with fruit today. Or every few days, take a break and take a day’s rest, so that Xiaobao can It has a bit of sour taste, hot sauce, right? Good."
"It's been a long time for face-to-face." Zhang Xiaobao said frankly.
"Uh...? Oh, it's delicious after a long time. It turns out that the noodles are cooked for a longer time, and the taste can be improved. Xiaobao, what you make is absolutely perfect. After a long time, it is only a trace of sourness."
Li Longji didn't care, and continued to praise, the taste was really good.
Wang Juan said: "Xiaobao put more sweet noodle sauce, double eggs, and more coriander to suppress the sourness. This is the same as a major national event, so you have to think carefully.
After you give an order, you can’t get past the time to change it again. The people who change day and night can’t bear it. Therefore, today’s plan for reconstruction is out, and Xiaobao and I will have to make an argument later, otherwise it will be irresponsible, and you will not be responsible to the people. How can the people trust you
A qualified leader cannot always squander his credibility. He can only find ways to strengthen it. Otherwise, he develops the habit of not caring, thinking that the people can bear it and squandering his credibility. When you need the people to support you, you You will find that what you get is a voice of opposition. "
Wang Juan's words caused Li Longji and others to stop eating pancakes.
Li Longji put the pancake fruit on the small table and instructed the person next to him: "Go, tell the royal cooks, today everyone will eat the pancake fruit, you have to do more, do more, and when you are done, send it to the entrance of the Furong Garden. For those passing by.
Tell them that the opening of Furong Garden to the outside world will be delayed because Tubo has been invaded by the snow disaster.
To let them go to the zoo, there is no need to pay for the Zhang family and the skating rink. After the martial arts exercise, I will build a larger amusement park in the capital. There are no tickets, and the fun inside is free for one month.
You don't have to wait for the work to be finished, and start building now. If you don't find a craftsman to do the work, you must recruit, go to work, and pay the wages. You must explain clearly to the people who are waiting to come in and play. "
Listening to Li Longji's words, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan looked at each other and smiled with relief at the same time. They felt that if the emperor could be like this in a monarchy country, what kind of democratic election system would be needed
Chi De Zuzan saw it in his eyes, and whispered to Princess Jincheng: "When we go back, we will also follow your majesty's method to do it. I want to understand. Sometimes when you really do things for the people, you do something wrong. Point, the people are not trying to beat you to death.
What they want is your attitude. Your sincere and undisguised explanations can be forgiven, understood and supported by the people. The people know very well that if you put them in the position of officials, they can’t do it and they will have to learn for a long time. .
When you are in this position, think more about the people. You have done something wrong. If you speak frankly with the people and are willing to make corrections, the people will give you a chance.
But if you talk nonsense and lie to the people, the people are not stupid. You know in your heart, just like the cuckoo said, when you squander the last bit of credibility, you will be over, rebellion, sooner or later. "
Princess Jincheng nodded: "We have Xiaobao and the cuckoo in the Tang Dynasty. I am so relieved, husband, let’s eat, don’t worry about our affairs there, they have done a good job, and only they have such a reaction. speed.
I know why they make less money. Compared with Xiaobao and Juanjuan, they have less abilities. They don’t immediately use them to make money when they have something.
They are all stored in various places. If they are not reserved and used directly for turnover, Datang's financial income is far less than their family's property.
They are another Chang-Liang. Oh, it should be said that their mobility far exceeds that of Chang-Liang. The merchants of Datang are afraid of Xiaobao, and they are justified. "
Li Longji heard it.
He took a bite of the pancake fruit, slowly chewed and swallowed, and said to the two of them: "What are you muttering? Of course the merchants of Datang are afraid of Xiaobao. I always use the name of Xiaobao to scare the merchants, such as before the Chinese New Year. In a few days, Xiaobao's name was brightened up, and prices dropped immediately.
Also, this time, Datang’s businessmen need to pay for road repairs. It is estimated that it will cost at least 100 million. Is your Tubo road easy to repair? If it is really easy to repair, the railway will be repaired first. "
Li Longji didn't know whether he was proud, or deliberately holding Zhang Xiaobao, anyway, he looked at Zhang Xiaobao when he was speaking, and he made Zhang Xiaobao very uncomfortable to eat.
Li Longji knew in his heart that the roads were too difficult to repair. The cement production still couldn't solve too many problems. Most of them were used in construction and were done by Zhengzheng Construction Group.
Needless to say, the quality is the same as iron bones. Xiaobao said that it is not possible to make money with things that are directly needed for people's livelihood, such as food and clothing.
It’s best to make money with such things, but beyond the scope, every extra penny you make will hurt the people more, so Zhengzheng construction can’t do that.
When the real money is made, the basic people's livelihood is fixed, and then someone is going to repair the garden, and the moment the pavilion is built, the price will not be parity at that time, just a little bit higher than the cost, who makes you rich.
For example, the common people look for a Zhengzheng building and say that the house is broken, and a new one is to be built. Three houses. The Zhengzheng building may be charged a very low processing fee. The three rooms need to be repaired, and the materials and labor costs needed are the same. money.
If you look for a Zhengzheng building and say that you want to build a four-in-one courtyard, and each courtyard wants to have the right east and west side rooms, and three stories high, with a pond in the middle, you don't need three thousand guan, you are sorry for your identity.
But road construction is solid, and you can’t be sloppy. No matter who pays, Zhengzheng Construction doesn’t make much money. Fortunately, there are new materials now. That asphalt seems to be good for road construction.
But it is impossible to spend less, 100 million sticks, it is estimated to be able to
Zhang Xiaobao was expressionless and continued to eat, as if he hadn't heard.
Li Longji spoke again.
"Speaking of this matter of letting the merchants pay, it really made Xiaobao go ahead. If I propose to build roads to the merchants of Datang, and then give them tax exemption, there will be many merchants who deliberately come to cheat the tax exemption.
There are few who are really willing to devote all their hearts. I keep the roster and assign them one by one. There will surely be situations where businessmen find all kinds of excuses to shirk.
Of course, when replaced by Xiaobao, he said that he asked the merchants to pay. There are countless merchants in Datang who are willing to invest without asking for direct return. If Xiaobao also calls the roster, no merchant who has been spotted would dare to fool around. In Datang, I It's not as good as Xiaobao, eat it, don't think about it when you're full. "
"Water, water, get some water for Little Bao, Your Majesty, can you not say this while we are eating? You see Xiao Bao choked."
Wang Juan took the water, fed Zhang Xiaobao, and said dissatisfiedly to Li Longji.
Li Longji lowered his head to eat. When he didn't hear him, he waited for two bites before he said: "Joke, it's all a joke, Xiaobao, tell me, what are the benefits of repairing the road through Tubo."
There is no conflict of interest in this respect. You don't have to hide it. What a big deal, I will give you a penny as the cost of the inquiry, what do you think. "
Zhang Xiaobao finally swallowed the food. Listening to Li Longji's words, he simply stopped eating, sat upright, and said, "Okay, but it's not allowed to spread. If someone spreads it out, the plan will stop. I don't waste energy and go on. "
Everyone is silent and silent, which means I won't spread it out.
"Then let me talk about it. In fact, road construction must happen earlier and later, just because Tubo was hit by the snow disaster and transportation was inconvenient, so I brought it up.
The road is repaired, and there are many benefits. Your Majesty has mentioned them. They are all right, but that is not my final requirement. Otherwise, it is too simple. It is not worthwhile to build a circuit. There is no other purpose, and the road is the road.
What I need is an asymmetric income recruitment. The road has been repaired for a period of time, and the repair will be continued in the future. Then there will be a problem that there are not enough workers in charge of moving, especially when looting.
So what to do? I have people in Datang who can go to Tubo and the Qinghai Lake we occupy, but I have the ability to digest Datang’s own labor. What I want to do is..."
When Zhang Xiaobao said this, he stopped and didn't continue to talk about it. Give people time to think about it.
Everyone slowly ate the pancake fruit while pondering what Zhang Xiaobao said.
Gao Lishi first thought of it until the pancakes were finished with fruits and some tea was drunk.
"Xiaobao, you are going to finish building the road on the other side of Tubo and Qinghai Lake. In the process of transporting the looted materials, you recruit a team that is not composed of the people of Datang.
In other countries, their currency can't directly buy my Datang's things. If you take the things over there, they have finished their work and earned my Datang's money, so they can buy good things.
They will buy it back, use it by themselves, or sell it for money, and the things are rare and expensive. Datang's things cannot be purchased with their own currency, so the value of Datang's goods will increase over there.
When they are eager for my Datang products, you will find a way to connect their country's currency with my Datang currency, so..."
"So Xiaobao doesn't have to endure the innumerable ways of making money in his mind and can't use the distress to the people of Datang, hasn't it been done in other countries?"
Li Longji asked Gao Lishi.
Zhang Xiaobao hadn't finished eating yet, and was chewing while others were not talking to him.
Wang Juan said for him: "Yes, you will see a real Zhang Xiaobao, Xiaobao has endured for a long time, for an ideal, for a promise to me, he has been suppressing his ability. ."
