Chang'an City is full of gossip during this time, but if someone asks who is the most famous, everyone will answer in unison: Li Dashanren. \ Yes, if you don't count the Tang Emperor Li Shimin, Li Muyun is indeed a little hot during this time.
After all, being able to raise thousands of victims is not a touch of the upper and lower mouths, it takes a real Kaiyuan Tongbao to speak, even if you don't consider how much your monthly salary will be paid, you have to eat an unknown amount of things every day with thousands of mouths.
But even so, Li Muyun still had no intention of giving up, and after recruiting those disaster victims, he accepted nearly 4,000 disabled soldiers, and built a large building in an inconspicuous mountain col in Lishan Mountain for these people to live in.
Of course, these people don't live for nothing, they also have to take care of some work, such as raising pigs.
According to the incomplete statistics of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Li Muyun has purchased no less than 7,000 piglets in Chang'an and the surrounding areas in half a month, and it seems that there is no plan to stop depending on the situation.
If you put aside the stakes and interests, Li Muyun's actions are indeed admirable, there may be people who are richer than him in Datang, and there may be people who are more powerful than him, but he is the only one who can make such a big deal.
Therefore, in the eyes of the people, this king of Xiaoyao County is a good man and a great good man.
In order to relieve the people, in order not to make the people feel ashamed, they even let them dig some ditches in the mountains that are completely useless, so as to dispel the guilt in the hearts of the victims and let them live a good life with peace of mind.
Yes, those ditches are of no use to anyone, because you can't imagine what you can do if you dig a ditch three feet deep and one foot wide in the mountains.
Moreover, the work of those victims is not limited to digging trenches, they also need to dig countless large pits, which can reach a depth of more than two zhang and a length and width of more than ten zhang.
No one knows what these pits are for, and Lao Chen, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, even went to the ground to see them, but he also didn't know what the use of the big pits was.
There is also the fact that Li Muyun ordered a large number of iron pipes from the eldest grandson Wuji, one large and one small, and he also didn't know what the use was, but he only knew that this guy bought a lot of such pipes and went back, and then buried them in the ground.
Lao Li is living a very comfortable life during this time, the folds on the face of the old man who eats three dry meals a day are about to be flattened, and he is happy to have two little grandsons all over the world all day long.
His job is very simple, just mark everyone's attendance on a form, and stay in the shed on the edge of the construction site every morning, come and ask for the name of a person, and then find it on the paper and tick it.
When the time comes, the old man will close the notebook that he never leaves, and even if anyone comes at this time, it is useless, because he misses the time to go to work, and this day can only be regarded as absenteeism.
The old man has a monthly salary of 500 yuan, so he is still very responsible for recording this matter, and no one can find him to accommodate him after missing the work time, even if he does, it is useless.
But to be honest, the people of Datang are too simple, Lao Lizheng recorded a whole month, and there were only more than 30 cases of absenteeism, and no one came to him afterwards.
Li Muyun was a little bored during this time, so he took Mu Xin and Mu Yu to the construction site to wander around, and inspected the work by the way.
In my previous life, I always saw leaders inspecting the work at the grassroots level, with big bellies and hands behind their backs, surrounded by a large number of people hugging each other, looking very imposing.
But when he arrived at Li Muyun, everything was not working, and no one paid attention to him after coming to the construction site, and the workers were working hard, digging pits, carrying soil, delivering water and food, everyone was busy, and they completely ignored him, the county king in civilian clothes.
"The people are good people, but alas" After walking around the construction site, Li Muyun sighed with some emotion.
"Childe, what is it" Mu Xin asked with some curiosity on the side.
"It's nothing," Li Muyun shook his head.
At the beginning of life's troubles of literacy, not many of these people on the construction site have ever read, and there are not even a few literate people, but it is precisely because of this that people will not think so much.
After going around the construction site, I didn't find a single lazy person, nor did I find a bully, several thousands of people can do this, and they are all spontaneous, which is not easy.
Li Muyun can't imagine what the consequences would be if a group of scholars did the same thing here, there might be people who wanted to command others, there might be people who tried to find ways to be opportunistic, and there might be people who saw a big man present and gave up their work to make a fool of themselves.
But such simple and excellent quality people are people who live at the bottom, no one will really think about them, and even if it is not for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji, it is estimated that even Li Er will not care about these people, for the court, these people are actually tools, and squeezing their labor force is fundamental.
But the people of Datang have always had no desires, what they want is nothing more than to be able to live, what to get ahead, what to glorify their ancestors, these only exist in their sleep, and after waking up, they still have to continue the kind of days when they don't have enough food and no warm clothes.
I always look at the children who are only in their teens, carrying buckets that weigh almost as much as their own weight to carry water up the mountain; I always look at those old people who are fifty or sixty years old, but they are bare-chested in the cold wind that is only a few degrees above zero; Whenever he saw the women who were only in their twenties but carried young children on their backs to make food for the villagers on the mountain, Li Muyun felt that he should do something for them.
Just when Li Muyun was entangled in the gap between the common people and the nobles, an old man came over with two cute little dolls: "This nobleman, I don't know who you are, if there is anything you can say to the little old man."
Li Muyun lowered his head, looked at the two little dolls running around with snot, put aside the unhappiness in his heart, and quipped: "Oh, it's nothing, I just came up to take a look, the old man is letting go of the baby."
Lao Li was stunned, he had only heard of herding sheep and cattle, but what was the matter with herding babies But the noble man immediately asked, and it was not good not to answer, so Lao Li Zheng laughed a few times and explained: "Hehe, the noble man is really joking, these two dolls are the grandsons of the old man, the two sons and daughter-in-law are on the construction site, and no one cares about the baby at home, so the old man can only bring it himself." ” "Oh" Li Muyun nodded, paused and asked, "The old man is still satisfied with the life here?"
Lao Lizheng didn't know Li Muyun, he just thought that he was sent by the court to understand the situation, and said loudly at the moment: "Satisfied, so satisfied, the king of Xiaoyao County feels sorry for us who are miserable, he gives three dry meals a day, and one meal of meat to eat in two days, and also pays us wages, if anyone says that they are not satisfied, then it is really a loss of conscience, you say, isn't it?"
The last sentence Lao Li shouted to the companions who were working around him, and after the voice fell, a voice of response immediately sounded around him: "Yes, we have never had such a day at home to catch up with the harvest year." ” Li Muyun nodded, and said that every righteous slaughter of dogs, it seems that what he said is really true, the common people have eaten a full meal for a month and think of him every day, but look at the living ancestor in the palace, how many benefits he has shared from his hands over the years, but in the end, he still ended up with a warning of breaking his leg.
Seeing that Li Muyun didn't speak, Li Zheng thought that he didn't believe it, so he hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "This lord, the old man was originally Li Zheng in the township, he has lived all his life, and he has never said half a lie, you must believe it." ” "Well, I believe, I believe" Li Muyun came back to his senses and comforted the old man and said: "I'm just here to go around and see if the big guys still need anything and are not satisfied." ” "Who dares to be dissatisfied with my old man's age, but he can't rub the sand in his eyes, we people have suffered a disaster, and we haven't handed over a grain to the court, but today we haven't been starved to death, this is already a great blessing, not to mention that the king of Xiaoyao County also gave us dry food, meat, and a place to live, if anyone dares to be dissatisfied, I'm afraid God will not let him go."
The old man was a little excited, as he just said, this old guy seems to be a person who doesn't rub sand in his eyes.
But it was a coincidence, just when the old man swore excitedly, the little doll who was playing on the side ran over at some point, tilted his head and said innocently: "Grandpa lied, a few days ago you were obviously not satisfied with the muttering that the king of Xiaoyao County is a loser, and the sky is obviously not cold or give firewood to each household."
"Hahaha," Li Muyun looked at the innocent little guy and laughed.
The old man in Lizheng, his face was full of embarrassment, and he was a little reluctant to kick that kid, and he didn't kick and his stomach was angry, but fortunately, Li Muyun said for the kid after laughing: "Old man, Tong Yan Wuji, don't take it to heart, I won't tell this to that guy." ” The old man Li Zheng sighed, and seemed to be a little resigned: "Hey, the family is unfortunate, why did such a stupid boy come out, but this adult, if you are really familiar with the king of Xiaoyao County, can you tell him, this firewood really doesn't need to be sent anymore, it's really not cold this day, and even if it's cold in the future, it's enough to go to the mountains every day to pick up some branches or something, there's really no need to spend money to buy those things." ” Li Muyun pulled the little doll who was still a little aggrieved, patted the top of his head to show comfort, and said to Li Zheng: "Old man, what you said is not good, you know, this Lishan is a royal garden, if the vegetation inside is destroyed, it is a big deal, not to mention you, even Li Muyun's guy is afraid and can't afford it":
