Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 675
Li Chengqian likes white dragon fish uniforms, so there are official uniforms of all grades in the closet, ranging from first-rank princes to ninth-rank officials, and a full set of official defense.Of course, these things were actually issued by the Minister of Shangshu for filing, and Fang Xuanling did it in person. The purpose was to keep it secret. How can anyone find out how many private identities the prince has, and it is not convenient to do things. .

Today, Li Chengqian is wearing a green robe and is a cabinet member of the Ministry of Industry. He came down to check the situation of the ditches entering the fields.

This old man who called him a young man was already in his 60s, and he was a good man to take care of the crops. He took advantage of Li Chengqian's opportunity to eat dates, and praised the policy of "connecting rivers and canals".It is convenient and beneficial to the people, and natural disasters are avoided to the greatest extent. As long as the water in the Yellow River does not dry up in the future, the people here will no longer have to worry about the drought, the grains will not be harvested, and they will go to Shandong to flee famine.

The old man can't explain the truth, but Li Chengqian understands that what he means is to give people fish, it is better to teach people to fish, no matter how much food the court distributes for disaster relief, they can't eat as well as the food they grow themselves, no matter how lowly the common people It's also dignified, isn't it?

The bureaucrats in the court who have been "educated" by Confucianism do not know how powerful the people are. An overwhelming force. Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it. life, eat enough, wear warm clothes.

Don't look at it, it's a very simple truth, but it's really complicated to do. Li Chengqian believes that most emperors who are in charge of the government can think of this, but it's always because of such and such changes that they can't get what they want, or they are mediocre. In one's life, one will either die or the country will be destroyed, so wanting to make a difference cannot be solved by talking about it or an imperial decree.

"Old man, this year's harvest is so good, I finally don't have to worry about getting enough to eat, but why do you have a sad face? What is difficult to say? Don't look at my young age, but I have seen a lot. Help you out It’s still possible to come up with an idea!” Li Chengqian put down the jujube in his hand, and beckoned to the few people around who thought about it but hesitated, motioning for everyone to sit down together.

Alas, after sighing, the old man wiped his sweat with a sweat towel, with an expression of "hating iron but not steel", complaining about those two bastards in his family.It turned out that the old man had three sons, and the eldest was honest, down-to-earth, and willing to work. He had been helping him with farming at home, sharing the burden of the family for him.But the second and third children are not law-abiding guys, they don't like farm work, so they were drafted into the army in the Songzhou Battle.

Fortunately, with the blessing of the ancestors, this brother also lived up to his expectations. He made some military exploits and came back with a lot of rewards. The family finally had enough food and clothing.Originally, I thought that the two brothers would grow up after walking through the ghost gate, marry a wife, farm the land honestly, and give birth to two grandchildren for him in two years. This day will be beautiful.

But these two bastards are not only not interested in farming, they are not even interested in marrying a wife. Not to mention sitting and eating at home, they even arrange armor and knives all day long, waiting to go to the battlefield to fight for wealth. Very helpless.

They are government soldiers, not recruits. According to the regulations of the imperial court, after the battle, they will return to the court. The soldiers will disperse in the government and return to the countryside to work in agriculture.

But these two bastards have a reason to refute. After the Battle of Songzhou, the imperial court not only selected a group of people from them to enrich the North and South Yamen, but also selected a large number of people to recruit soldiers. They were just unlucky. Next time If you make more contributions in combat, you will definitely be selected.

If you can become a recruiter, you will not only have a fixed salary, but you will also be able to exempt your family from hard labor. When you get older, you will either be transferred to the county government as a servant, or receive a large sum of money for the elderly. Why do you have to plan your life in the soil!

Of course, the old man is not the only one who has this kind of problem, other people also have this kind of problem, life is getting better, and their sons are all out to see the world, so naturally they are not reconciled to living in the countryside for the rest of their lives.

"My son, when will the court fight again? My son is looking forward to it all day long!"

"Yes, sir, the younger generations of the family want to open a restaurant in the county seat, do you think it will work?"

"Also, my son wants to work with the caravan. He said that the two jobs there earn more than the field in a year. Is it true?"

"That's right, the youngest son of the Zhang family bought a cow when he came back two days ago, and it's only been running for a year. It doesn't look like a fake.".
Li Chengqian never tired of listening to the old men nagging, young people, after opening their eyes, they naturally don't want to stay in the countryside, and they can live a better life, who wants to face the yellow sky and sweat with their backs to the sky!

From the headaches of these old people, it can be seen that life is much better now than before. From having enough food to seeking a better life, they pay more attention to the quality of life.Li Chengqian smiled knowingly in his heart, wondering how the emperor would feel after hearing this prosperity.

While Li Chengqian was answering the old people's questions one by one, the two bastard sons of the old man Zhang who gave him the jujube came to find his father when he came home late, so today's old people's activities came to an end.

However, these two guys did not follow their father, but urged everyone to go home quickly. It was dark and the road was difficult to walk.Regarding the abnormality of the two, Li Chengqian smiled and did not stop them, but only smiled and said goodbye to the elders.

After a while, seeing the two men kneeling in front of him, Li Chengqian said lightly: "Why, do you know Gu?"

"Returning to Your Highness, the two low-ranking brothers once served in the Central Army of Zuo Xiaowei General Su Dingfang. When His Highness went to work in the army, we were fortunate to serve outside the tent, so we knew His Highness!"

Oh, I see, it turned out to be Su Dingfang's Chinese cavalry, no wonder.After nodding his head, Li Chengqian grabbed a jujube and put it in his mouth, spit out the core and continued: "It stands to reason that you shouldn't meddle in your family affairs, but you have inherited your father's affection, so you have to say more." Two sentences.

It is a good thing to have good ambitions, but it would be ignorant for a person to continue to toss around after a certain age and make my mother worry all day long.Marry a wife to live a good life, and you can continue to contribute to the country if there is a war in the future!This little money is a little thought. ", During the conversation, he took out the money bag and threw it to them, got up and left, regardless of the two brothers who kowtowed and thanked behind.
