Chapter 1751 Why Bother with Government Affairs when You Have Free Time?
"Your Majesty, the Emperor said: I am a virtue. At that time, it was a merit, but a statement. Later Gao Tao punished the elephant to correct his mistakes. Now he is an elephant, why kill him rashly? We should force peace."
At the great meeting, someone stood up and spoke.
"I don't understand. Why don't you come in person with ten cavalry and crossbows to express the virtues of the Tang Dynasty, show the kindness of the Tang Dynasty, and promote the aspirations of the Tang Dynasty." Li Longji was worried. Is this person stupid?
Are things the same now as before? What kind of propaganda is there to scare others?
It's just killing a chicken to scare the monkeys. It's just to show others the brutality of killing and make them afraid, so that they will obey.
This statement comes from a part of "Yu Shu·Yi Ji" in "Shang Shu", and it was taken out for persuasion.
It means don't kill too many people, just scare others.
Li Longji was very disgusted. If you say don't kill people here, why don't you go to the battlefield?
I'll give you ten horses and the crossbow you want. You've been told in the past that you're awesome. Do you think your method works?
I am using more than 300,000 people and countless money, food, military equipment, and livestock to fight a big battle. You tell me not to be impulsive?
If my strategic goals are not achieved, what am I trying to achieve? Playing?
"Rong Chen, think about it again." The other party stepped back, knowing that His Majesty was dissatisfied. Fortunately, His Majesty was in a happy mood recently.
“I request that sea trade be fully opened up, but it should be determined by its etiquette, its virtue, and its position.
Confucius said: Although he has his position, he does not have the virtue and dare not perform rituals and music. Although he has his virtues, he would not dare to perform rituals and music without his position. "
Others stood up and wanted to reform border trade, thinking that Li Yi did something wrong and did not abide by his position, etiquette, and virtue.
This comes from "The Doctrine of the Mean" in "The Book of Rites".
Li Yi is a casual official, always pointing fingers, having an unfair reputation and speaking inconsistently.
"Okay, Guangzhou Shipping Department has a loyal minister. You can go." Li Longji simply sent you as an official.
"I only make suggestions, but I can do nothing. I am ashamed."
The man quickly retreated. He didn't want to go to Guangzhou. The climate was different and he could easily get sick.
What's even more frightening is that the local area is controlled by Li Yi. He said bad things about Li Yi in the court. When he gets there, will he...
"Your Majesty, um... wells have been drilled on the road heading north from Jingzhao Mansion, and an oasis is under construction. Send people to build pools to store water. It happens to be raining a lot now."
Zhang Jiuling stood up. He spoke plainly, knowing that the weather was hot and His Majesty was impatient.
He dug a well a few years ago and planted things around it to form a small oasis. He was thinking about building a large cement pond, filling it with water, and adding a cover and a straw curtain on top.
People don't drink it, so they water it when it doesn't rain. Nowadays, the number of cement factories in Datang has increased.
"Okay! Just make the arrangements and do it." Li Longji also spoke plainly.
Song Jing took a step forward: "Your Majesty, if the fleet heading overseas comes back, I promise to bring a lot of seeds, choose a place, and plant them."
Song Jing chose the same way of speaking. If he said: Return from a long voyage and bring seeds, he should choose a place to echo.
It is estimated that His Majesty will not take him to eat for lunch today, and he has not yet decided what to eat.
"Please go and do it." Li Longji nodded.
The ministers were silent for a while. They had nothing to say. What did the big party say? Why bother talking to His Majesty about small matters?
So what was supposed to be a lively and long court meeting ended within an hour.
Those who were not qualified to stay in Li's Zhuangzi took the gifts from Zhuangzi and left happily. They attended the court meeting, and some of them were actually waiting for gifts.
It's a pity that it's not open on the first day of the new year, so there's less stuff to take.
I feel like I have lost 100 million, and my life has become rough since then.
But when they got the gifts, everyone became happy again. There were many things, I think they were supplemented by those from the first grade of junior high school, and there were also a lot of rice pops, bags after bags.
Oh, there are grilled fish fillets and sea fish. You can take them home to your parents, wife, and children, and you can also drink them by yourself.
Everyone stayed away from the person who had just implicitly accused Li Yi.
He fetched things cautiously, and found that the number was the same as that of people of the same grade. He breathed a sigh of relief, and his clothes were all wet with sweat.
The ministers left, but Li Longji did not leave. He sat on the dragon chair in a daze.
A group of ministers who are qualified to stay did not move, otherwise where would they go? In Lijiazhuangzi, it's only a few steps back to your office.
"Your Majesty, are you worried?" Yao Chong was a spectator. He could not speak unless Tuan'er found someone's problem.
"Nothing else to do in the afternoon? Can you please have some cold beer at noon? What can you do with the food?"
Li Longji said what he was thinking. He was in a daze thinking about what to have for lunch.
There was no other major matter, so he seemed quite helpless.
"It's hot, eat cold dishes." Bi Gou has been busy recently, with taxes from Jingzhao Prefecture and Henan Prefecture, war material transportation, Ezhou on Jiangnan West Road has been raining recently, and after the fruit harvest in Shu, he hopes the court can help exchange money...
He was a little angry and couldn't bear to ask Li Yi, relying on the power of the court to get things done.
"The staple food has been eaten above the water." Song Jing suggested. He issued more than 200 documents to deal with officials in half a month.
The Royal Patrol Team of the Tang Dynasty attacked everywhere, and the old guys went crazy.
Su Ting yawned. He was busy until night last night, checking the ordnance warehouses in various places. There were many questions.
I have to clean up the people and get new weapons at the same time.
Zhang Jiuling was relatively relaxed. He was also the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, but he was not the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. Wei Zhigu was the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, so it was difficult to replace him.
"This year is no different than usual, life is leisurely." Li Longji lamented that he really had nothing to do.
The internal stability of the Tang Dynasty, the people are skilled in using new tools, and there is a lot of food in places where new indica rice is grown, so whether it tastes good or not is secondary.
The Tubo outside the Tang Dynasty is expanding to Tianzhu, the Xi people and Khitan belong to their own people, and Bohai is honest.
The Turks are fighting! Losing 5,000 elite troops will inevitably make strategic mobilization difficult.
The left hidden money of the court treasury is too much to spend, and the treasures in the right hidden are thrown around. The hidden money inside is their own private money, which can't be spent for a while anyway.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, my host said that lunch is ready. He said it's hot and we need to detoxify everyone." Song De appeared in the big square.
The ground of the big square was replaced with beautiful terrazzo, UU reading www.uukanshu.net to spell out the dragon picture.
It will be cleaned up when the court meeting is held. It is no longer used to dry the millet when there are children playing.
"But the water noodles and cold dishes?" Zhang Jiuling asked.
Song De entered the hall and bowed first. His Majesty was wearing a dragon robe, which represented his status and was different from usual.
"To reply to Secretary Zhang, today we have an insect feast, fighting poison with poison. Everything has been prepared and is ready to be fried as you eat." Song De turned to Zhang Jiuling and bowed.
"No need to be polite, Manager Song." Zhang Jiuling said as he took off his official robe. He was wearing knee-length pants and a T-shirt inside, which was cool.
"But bean worms and bee pupae?" Song Jing had eaten bee pupae, which were also tributes.
"Yes, there are other insects, which were specially collected and prepared by Qingdai and Fukuan."
Song De nodded and shook his head. How could he dare to say that the two were an insect feast?
"Go and have a look." Li Longji smacked his lips.
