Chapter 244 Brother, are we doing a business in partnership?
In Chang'an City, the clan members are gathering together at this moment, talking about the digging of the well.
That's right, they sent people to spread the rumors about a drought in summer.
Since the emperor wants to make trouble, they, as a group of people, don't mind helping him make the matter bigger.
Everyone laughed when they heard the news from the common people.
The more the people say this, the happier they are.
After all, they don't have any ability to distinguish. If the common people can distinguish right from wrong, they will no longer be common people, and they will become the gentry class like them.
After all, the people can only be the people. After being bewitched by the people they arranged, they will become like this. It is really sad to think about it!
"Okay everyone, the emperor can do whatever he wants. This matter has nothing to do with us.
Let’s have a good meal tonight to celebrate.”
If it is related to their interests, everyone will definitely care about it.
On the other hand, if the matter had nothing to do with them and could still mess up Datang, the group would be very happy to add fuel to the fire.
Ha ha ha ha.
Zhaojiazhuang.
"Young Master, there is news from Magistrate Song that the Holy Emperor has asked all prefectures and counties to dig wells with the village as the center.
Especially for deep wells, it is said that the current Holy One has declared that there will be a drought this summer, so all the people should prepare in advance."
Zhao Mu, who had just taken a sip of hot tea, spat out the tea.
Speaking of which, Lao Li is really awesome. Do you dare to tell him Li Er anything?
You usually don't dig a well, but this time you have to choose to dig a well. This coincidence of time and collision is too much, right?
It's just this matter, not other matters. If you are not careful, you will have to pay a high price.
He, Lao Li, is so arrogant that he is putting his own wealth and life on it.
"Good brother, good brother?
Ah, dear brother, where are you?"
Just when he was about to walk in, he saw Zhao Mu's scene.
He decided to wait outside for a few minutes until everything was cleaned up before he walked in.
I can’t laugh, I definitely can’t laugh!
"Cough, cough,
I said, dear brother, what are you talking about with the two housekeepers?"
"When I got back to Shopkeeper Li, my young master and I were talking about the imperial decree asking the people to dig wells."
"What? This news has already reached here, so fast?"
"I said, Lao Li, pretend, just keep pretending. Is it possible that you didn't spread this news?"
Seeing Zhao Mu's look, Li Er waved his hand directly!
"My dear brother, this is the conscience of heaven and earth, even though I want to kneel down and lick your majesty.
But I also know the depth and the depth. What I donated are some new plow poles, seed drills, and heaters that can be seen and touched.
After Your Majesty uses it, I can get the reward immediately."
As a businessman myself, I still know what to say and what not to say.
As for the big disaster this year, I just heard it from you, my dear brother.
I can't just reveal this news casually.
If I reveal it, a major disaster will happen this year. How should Your Majesty view me?
This future thing hasn't happened yet, and I already know it, and it might pull me out and make it click.
If His Majesty doesn't believe it after I reveal it, and a big disaster occurs in the summer, I will definitely become the scapegoat again.
I, Lao Li, will never do such a thankless thing!
What Li Er said was so majestic that Changsun Wuji, who was standing aside, almost believed it.
Your Majesty is your Majesty, and this braggart will not blush. This is a role model for our generation, I admire you!
Ha ha ha ha ha.
Zhao Mu smiled and gave Li Er a roll of his eyes.
I didn’t expect him to have something he didn’t dare to say. It’s interesting!
Seeing Xiandi's expression, Li Er smiled awkwardly.
Although this matter was an order given by me, I just couldn't admit it.
Then he brought out his own set of theories.
In fact, what Your Majesty means is that there was a severe drought during the Wude period, and now the Tang Dynasty is fighting against the Turks.
In this battle on the front line, victory is not guaranteed.
If a severe drought occurs this year, it will be a fatal blow to the people of the world.
Therefore, Your Majesty is thinking of taking precautions before it happens. If there is no drought, that's all.
If a drought occurs, it can be resolved immediately.
After hearing him explain the cause and effect, Zhao Mu nodded secretly.
If it was really not him, Lao Li, who revealed this matter, but Li Er, who arranged it independently.
For such an emperor, he is really strong!
Hey hey hey, hey hey.
Li Er smiled, knowing that he had already firmly grasped these matters.
Immediately afterwards, the two people chatted about other topics.
"Brother Xian, I have something to tell you."
"But it doesn't matter!"
"Such a good brother, you see, last winter, you arranged that vegetable greenhouse for me.
I took the vegetable greenhouse back, and after some preparation, my family was able to eat fresh vegetables within a few months.
It's just a pity that the vegetable greenhouse is still too small.
Can you please take a look and see if you can arrange more for me?
I have an idea that I will make this greenhouse bigger and stronger within this year.
If you can eat these fresh vegetables in winter, there will be too many wealthy families near Chang'an City.
Let’s not talk about the merchants and the nobles. In winter, their daily consumption is very large.
It's a pity that even though they are nobles, the vegetables they eat are only some stored in the autumn.
How can I, dear brother, arrange these vegetables to make people happy to eat them?
So, dear brother, please take a look at the matter of the greenhouse. Can the two of us study it carefully and discuss it?
How about making money with this?”
Zhao Mu smiled slightly and shook his head.
"I don't feel that way!"
"Hey, dear brother, please listen to me carefully. I have already thought about how to make money with a greenhouse.
This time to make money, we still open 37, you 7 and I 3.
Don't worry, how about leaving this matter to me and letting me arrange the manpower to carry out the operation?"
This man really responded to that sentence.
It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. At that time, the whole city of Chang'an and the whole palace were in a state of poverty.
My own little treasury is cleaner than my face. As an emperor, I can't use the treasury's money for my own use, right?
Therefore, as an emperor who thinks about the common people every day, whether it is the meals he eats every day or the clothes he wears, they are all standard and clear, and no one can touch them.
But now that I have met my good brother, in just half a year, I have made a lot of money.
Even Changsun Wuji, who was by His Majesty's side, also received some dividends.
Now his Zhao Guogong's mansion has also changed into what it is. This moment is all attributed to Zhao Gongzi. This chapter has been completed!
