The Imperial Study.
The left servant of Shangshu Province shot Xiao Yu and the right servant shot Chen Shuda, and they were making a small report to the emperor.
"Wen Yuan is young and energetic, but he is too impulsive and sloppy, this time the province has carried out this assessment, basically did not discuss with us in advance, and directly threw it out at the meeting, and then announced the implementation.
We were caught off guard, and now we have received news that most of the officials in the province are dissatisfied with this, and the officials even think that this is the imperial court to use scholars to grab their positions, and secretly discuss a strike. ” Li Shimin twisted his mustache and listened casually.
"Li Chao is really full of fighting energy, and he has to fight with everyone.
However, I have seen the reform proposed by Wen Yuan.
I also plan to wait for the implementation of Shangshu Province to have good results, and then it will be used as a national policy to promote the world.
Why, now the officials are all against it" "Everybody's against it."
The two servants spoke in unison.
"Are you against it too?"
asked Li Shimin, staring at the two servants.
Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda thought about it, but still nodded.
Li Shimin snorted, and there was no smile on his face.
"Xiao Xiang, Chen Xiang, the two of you are not only the prime ministers of Zhongshumen, but also the left and right servants of Shangshu Province, and they are the second official of Shangshu Ling, responsible for assisting Shang Shuling to preside over the affairs of Shangshu Province.
Even if you have different opinions on Li Chao's plan, you should openly put it forward at his meeting, and if the final result of the meeting is to implement the plan, then you should support him unconditionally, instead of not saying it at the meeting, and now you are coming here to talk about the east and the west, which is not the style of the prime minister. ” After saying something, the two prime ministers were a little red-faced.
The two came to sue Li Chao, but they didn't expect that in the end, they ate the emperor and hung up.
At lunchtime.
The emperor, empress, and crown prince ate together.
The queen is in better health, and she is sitting in person today, there are not many dishes, only four dishes and one soup, but the two of them are very happy.
"It's still the queen mother's cooking."
The eldest grandson smiled, "The food I cook is definitely not as delicious as your master's." ” "Li Chao has also been a little anxious recently."
Li Shimin picked up a chopsticks and scallion cake and said.
"What's wrong with Li Xiang?"
asked Empress Changsun.
"Li Chao has a lot of things recently, the imperial court's two tax laws, the big census, and now the trial of the new system of officials in Shangshu Province, and the preparation of the slave protection law, these new policies, I don't know how many people will be provoked, one is enough for a headache, but Li Chao has to get several at once, and this is enough."
"Is Li Xiang too anxious, so as to provoke the anger of the nobles and bureaucrats, I am afraid that it will not end well."
Empress Eldest Sun said worriedly.
Li Shimin thought for a while, reached out and held the queen's hand, "What the queen said is reasonable, I may be a little tight."
If Li Chao is such a smart person, he can grasp it, and I believe him. ” "As long as I unswervingly support Li Chao, his good ideas can be realized."
Outside, the wind and rain are coming, and the dark clouds are pressing down on the city.
But Li Chao behaved like no one.
For dinner, Li Chao even cooked by himself and made fried steaks and omelettes for the family.
He even announced that he would provide fish and meat to the subordinates in the house, and also announced that the Li family would implement a redemption plan and minimum wage in advance.
Not only did the slaves give a very good guaranteed salary, but even the servants in the house also raised the minimum guarantee standard, and Li Chao also allowed the servants and slaves in the house to redeem themselves.
As soon as this news came out, the people in the house were very excited.
On the spot, many servants and slaves signed up to redeem themselves, and the slaves of the Li Mansion were no better than other mansions, and the Li family had already paid the slaves, allowing them to save money, and if they did things well, they could also have rewards.
Therefore, as long as you don't spend money indiscriminately, you can save some money.
Especially for some family servants, it is no problem to scrape together the family's money and redeem one or two people first.
Everyone proposed to the government with excitement and anticipation, but without the slightest embarrassment, they were registered.
"Okay, the name has been registered, tomorrow I will ask the messenger from the yamen to come and verify the registration, and then you will become free people."
"Congratulations" The steward of the Li Mansion smiled at those subordinates who were full of anticipation.
Of course, not everyone in this house was in a hurry to redeem themselves immediately after knowing the news, and some people were unmoved, or even didn't want to redeem themselves at all.
There are people who yearn for freedom and feel that freedom is above all else.
But some people, they think it's better to do things in the Li Mansion, and they can't find a better person than the Li Mansion.
In Li Mansion, there is a stable iron rice bowl, and life is very comfortable.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Drought and flood to ensure harvest, but if you leave the Li Mansion, where to find such a good place, it is freedom, it is to become a good citizen, but it also means to leave the Li Mansion.
Where do they go, go to the mines, go to the workshops to work, or go to the border wasteland to open up the fields, for many people, this new life is what they fear and fear.
When I went outside, I became a good citizen, maybe it wasn't as good as the Li Mansion.
In particular, some stewards and the like who were promoted to serve in the Li Mansion had an income much higher than that of ordinary good people outside, and if it were not for the servants and stewards of the Li Mansion, how could the government rest assured that they held important steward positions The reaction of the servants in the house was not unexpected by Li Chao.
This is actually to be expected, it is not so beautiful to be a good citizen to be free, and there is a price to be paid for freedom outside.
If freedom were really so good, there would not be countless free and good people who took the initiative to go to the landlords and wealthy families as slaves, but they took the initiative to sell themselves as slaves, and even took their own land and wealth to defect to the names of the powerful.
Why Because a good citizen, that is, a subject of the empire, needs to bear a lot of taxes, miscellaneous labor, etc.
And if they become the slaves of the landlords and the powerful, they actually don't have to bear anything for the court, and even the rent paid to the powerful is far lower than that of the court, and they can live a better life.
Even ordinary people are very good at calculating.
Good people and bad people, in fact, are not the most important, although they become slaves, they may be slaves for future generations, but for many people, even if they are good people, not all generations are just the lowest level of bitter people, what kind of officialdom, do these have anything to do with them?
The Li family is such a good master and such a good treatment, even if they are free and good citizens, it is not enough for them to give up the comfortable and comfortable life they have now.
Of course, not all people treat slaves as well as the Li family, and for many slaves, it is still very attractive to become a free man, to be able to divide the land and grant land, and to become a homesteader with a piece of land of their own.
"Tell everyone, today everyone is open to eat, eat as you like, the meat tube is full, the food tube is full, you are full of food and drink, everyone goes back to lie on the bed while eating, while thinking about it, there is no need to make a decision in a hurry, it is not too late to think about it carefully, but, no matter how everyone decides, the Li family and I express our understanding and support."
Li Chao's words passed on, and the natural atmosphere in the house became more and more lively.
Some people are talking about the upcoming new life, while others are just smiling, but they have decided to continue to maintain the hard-won stable life they are currently living in. t1706231537:
