Chapter 7 In the courtroom, Li Er, who is squeamish
On the other side, Li Er and Li Er got on the carriage and rushed to the palace quickly.
After arriving at the palace, he quickly changed his clothes and rushed to the court.
At this time, all the civil and military officials had already gathered in the court hall and were waiting quietly.
Even if His Majesty doesn't come, everyone still has to go through the process.
"Long live my emperor, long live my emperor!"
"Okay, everyone, get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"If you have something to do, start to act, if nothing happens, leave the court!"
As the eunuch on the side shouted these words, a minister below stood up first.
This minister was Li Er, the official who arranged to go to rescue the victims outside Chang'an City.
I saw him salute and said quickly.
"Your Majesty, I am telling you that in accordance with your Majesty's orders, I will go outside to help the victims.
But the group of victims actually caused trouble again and even injured my guard.
Because His Majesty said that these victims are all common people of the Tang Dynasty. They were only reduced to refugees because of the disaster and were not allowed to use force at will.
The ministers can only throw the few who took the lead in making trouble into the prison to await His Majesty's punishment!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the ministers below started talking again.
"Your Majesty is so kind, yes, yes, you dare to cause trouble with this group of unruly people.
We should kill them all so that they can all have more memories.
Just kill the chicken to scare the monkeys."
In the past few times, even though a few were imprisoned, only dozens of people were beaten. As a result, troublemakers appeared again.
It has appeared several times so far.
I really don’t know where your Majesty’s aura of suppressing the enemy and killing the enemies with their heads has gone?
Everyone murmured in a low voice, but Li Er, who was sitting above, remained unmoved. He thought for a moment, and then burst into laughter!
"Yes, these unruly people have no home and no food to eat.
I gave them two meals a day and gave them tents to keep them warm, but they did not want to serve the imperial court.
If you dare to cause trouble randomly, I won't be able to convince the public if I don't kill them.
Come here and pass on my order to pull out the people who caused trouble today and chop them down."
"Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is wise."
"Your Majesty, I think this group of victims did not intend to cause trouble.
I beg your Majesty to spare their lives!"
The court is a society, and some people agree and some oppose it, but this time Li Er waved his hand.
"Everyone, I have my own decision on this matter. Apart from this, I have decided to build a water conservancy project.
At the same time, open up the official roads of the surrounding cities."
If we encounter heavy snow, we usually wait for the snow to melt slowly, or because people walk more often.
The snow slowly hardened, allowing roads to appear again.
But this time, His Majesty said that water conservancy projects should be built and the surrounding roads should be opened.
Doesn’t this make the court, which is already not wealthy, even worse?
"Your Majesty, you must not do it, you must not do it.
Now my entire court is short of food. If I recruit civilians to clear the road, it will cost a huge amount of money. I beg your Majesty to take back your order!"
While the ministers below were chattering endlessly about this matter, Li Er curled his lips in disdain!
"Guys, when did I tell you that I would recruit civilian husbands?"
Aren’t the group of disaster victims outside just a group of labor force?
Except for some old, weak, sick and disabled people, after the rest of the people have enough to eat and drink, aren't they qualified laborers who can work?
However, as soon as he finished speaking, several ministers aroused strong opposition.
Now that everyone has become victims of the disaster and has no home, His Majesty doesn't think about how to help them.
Instead, you want to let them work?
This is simply not what the Holy King did!
“Everyone, as the saying goes, it is better to teach people to fish than to give them a fish.
I, the court today, can take out all the money and food I have and give them to these people to tide them over.
But everyone, what if there is another heavy snowfall next winter?
Are these people allowed to remain refugees, waiting for help from the court?
This is winter now. What if there are floods or droughts in summer?
Rather than sit back and wait for death, it is better for us to take the initiative.
Building water conservancy projects can store snow in winter and wait until next summer if there is a drought.
This water can be used for irrigation. If there is a flood, these water conservancy projects can also be used to resist disasters.
My court can save the people of the world for a while, but it cannot save the people of the world for a lifetime.
Do they want to continue to be refugees and live a homeless life, or do they want to take matters into their own hands.
It is up to them to choose between these two choices to create a better life for themselves."
When His Majesty said these words, it deeply shocked everyone's mind.
No one expected that what His Majesty said was simple, brutal and straightforward.
Even those thoughtless people know how to choose. If they can live and work in peace and contentment, who would want to be a refugee?
After hearing this, the ministers continued to shout.
"Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is wise."
Hearing the shouts of the officials below, Li Er, who was sitting above him, just watched quietly without changing his expression.
At this moment, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the methods provided by Brother Zhao were simply perfect.
Look at all the ministers who are deeply shocked by this method.
At this moment, he can be regarded as having solved the problem of refugees outside.
Now I have turned my attention to food.
The food issue was a thorn in my heart, but I couldn't kill anyone casually.
Therefore, some things are very limited in what you can do, causing you to be unable to exert your strength to the fullest!
At this moment, a guard from outside hurriedly broke in.
"Your Majesty, according to your Majesty's request, I have found a piece of marble and placed it in the center of Chang'an City.
The craftsmen have all prepared, please make your decision, Your Majesty!"
When the guard below finished saying this, Li Er, who was sitting above him, slowly stood up.
The ministers below suddenly had a particularly bad idea in their minds.
Why does everything feel so strange today?
Especially what His Majesty said and what He did made everyone feel even more strange.
And everyone was a little panicked, feeling like something was about to happen.
