Lu Yu saw the old man's face flushed from coughing, he couldn't help laughing, and then walked back to his work room with his cigar, and when he walked in, he didn't forget to say: "Those white irons Be faster."
The old man smiled bitterly.
Looking at the cigar that just burned in my hand, I checked it again with my spiritual sense and found that this thing... is really harmful. There are dozens of ingredients that are harmful to the body, and there are dozens of ingredients, although they are not harmful. But it's not a good thing.
If you talk about the benefits... it's really nothing at all.
Although these disadvantages may be excreted in an instant for the cultivator, but... it’s not necessary. It’s obviously hard to grow them, and it seems to be very elegant to make. It’s a waste of time when you suck it. There are only disadvantages and no good, so... what do you want it to do? What is the picture
After thinking about it, the old man remembered that his own world always likes to do some weird things, such as the use of white iron this time, such as the previous obligatory construction of such a castle, such as threatening to expand the capital a hundred times...
Hey, I am so old. I originally planned to wait for the world to come back so that I could retire with honor and enjoy the blessings for a few years, but I didn't expect... but I would be even more tired. Hey, what is this picture of yourself
After thinking about it, he froze for a moment, spit out a puff of white smoke, and then frowned: "Huh? If you breathe it again, it doesn't seem to feel so choking... Uh..."
Then the old man was in a cold sweat.
I... Why... I just lifted it up inadvertently, stuffed it into my mouth, and took a few puffs
Why? !
Is it possible that this thing has any magic power
Thinking about it... the old man took another sip, and then said indifferently: "Forget it, anyway, the harm can be eliminated in an instant..."
While saying this, the old man smoked the cigar in his hand and walked outside, ready to urge those people to step up to do the white iron business.
Of course, you have to find some ingenious women to get these things for the world.
Thinking about it, he walked out of the fortress, ready to find someone outside the palace.
I just walked to the door, but saw the old official Jiujiu coming over, obviously about to enter the palace, and met him head on. The old official Jiujiu was about to say hello, but he saw what was in the old man’s hand and saw him hesitating. Foggy, he asked curiously: "What are you doing? What is that?"
The old man was taken aback for a moment, and then he smiled and said, "You still don't know, it's harmful to your health."
After finishing speaking, he walked away, leaving the old minister with his head full of question marks.
"This old man, why is this thief laughing?"
After thinking for a while, he didn't want to understand, so he didn't want to. He was anxious to see Lu Yu now.
In fact, it was not a big deal for the old minister Jiujiu to find Lu Yu this time, but it was not a trivial matter. I finally found him in Lu Yu's workplace and waited for a long time before Lu Yu came out.
Then the old minister Jiujiu saw the cigar in Lu Yu's hand, and the slightly unpleasant smell coming out of his mouth.
"Huh? Why is Lord Hou sucking this kind of thing? What the hell is this?"
The old minister Jiujiu couldn't help but asked curiously.
Lu Yu waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, it's harmful. By the way, what can you do with me?"
"Oh!" The old minister Jiujiu remembered the purpose of his trip and hurriedly said: "Although the expansion of the capital has been set, the officials have also contributed, but after all, the number of people is somewhat small, there are not enough artisans, and According to the drawings... Some places need to be demolished, this... ”
Lu Yu stretched out his hand to stop him from continuing, and then said: "Let's not say the reason, but the result."
"No money."
The veteran nine-ninety was simply neat.
Lu Yu was taken aback, and said in doubt: "This... So fast? Isn't our Vaseline selling very well?"
"Vaseline?"
"Oh, that's the phoenix ointment."
"Oh, oh, it is true that it has made a lot of money for our treasury, but... the construction of this fortress... has already used the money of the caravan, and hundreds of officials have also accumulated a long-term remuneration. The treasury was relatively full before. , If you don’t send it... it will damage the prestige of Lord Hou."
Lu Yu rolled his eyes and said, "What does it mean to damage my reputation? Seeing that the treasury is rich, those officials don't come to you to ask for salary? I'm afraid you can't stand it anymore, right?"
The old minister Jiujiu smiled bitterly: "In one day, more than 30 people came to visit... I really can't stand it."
Lu Yu nodded and said, "This can be done immediately, after all, it's not bad for hungry soldiers. But the problem of money... is indeed a problem."
The veteran said: "Now the barbarians have heard that the treasury is full. Based on the relationship between Lord Hou and the barbarians... and the Huajia caravan..."
"No," Lu Yu understood what the old minister Jiujiu meant, so he waved his hand: "I will wait for a while for the money issue. After a while, everything will be fine. Now that the project is a bit stranded... So, put it in prison first. Take a count of the offenders, feed them every day, and strive to send them all to the construction site. They can be sentenced to work instead of punishment. One day of work can be exempted. For ten-year prisoners, they will be released as long as they work for five years, and they must be kept accountable. , Give them their wages at the lowest price, and make up for them when they are released from prison. Oh, and also, the death inmates should also be accommodating, and let them go after they have worked for 15 years."
The veteran was shocked, and said quickly: "Hou Ye, I'm afraid this is... wrong, right? After all, those are prisoners..."
Lu Yu blinked, then smiled: "What do you think is it for putting people in prison?"
The veteran said: "One is to prevent them from continuing to cause trouble, and the other is to let them calmly reflect on themselves and reform."
"Well, it makes sense." In the past, Lu Yu would definitely make corrections right away when someone disagreed with him, but now it is different. He would first confirm the correctness of the other party, and then make corrections or supplements.
"But well, things are also changing. It is a good thing not to let them do harm, but they also occupy the cell, occupy the jailer, and eat for nothing. Although the food is not good, it is a kind of expense after all. In this way, it is better to let them work. Well, this one can still save them from doing harm to the other side, and secondly, it can let them go to benefit the other side! Of course, this needs to strengthen supervision, that is, to recruit more jailers. What’s wrong, and their enthusiasm for work is threatened by leather whips and swords, so I’m afraid it’s much better than ordinary craftsmen. Right?"
The old minister 99 nodded and said: "It does make sense, but..."
Lu Yu didn’t wait for him to finish, and then continued: “As for reforming, I think it’s going to be crazy if a person is locked in one place for a long time. Have you changed it? Yes, but it really may not be much. What can make people improve, and their spiritual realm can be sublimated?"
