Datang: Beat Tang Taizong violently at the beginning

Chapter 473 Merit Monument!
Li Mo suddenly said with great emotion, as the saying goes, if you slap a slap, you should give a sweet date,

This time blocking the door, forcing this charity meeting at Chengtianmen is also to understand the urgent need!
But what Li Mo didn't expect was that when he uttered this sentence, all the officials who were already sluggish at the moment were a little moved!
"His Royal Highness, I heard correctly just now. Your Highness said that all the donators will be recorded on the stele, and this stele will be placed on Suzaku Avenue for the common people... to admire!"

Pei Ji was promoted to Zhongcheng of Menxia Province, and he was one of the three prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty. Naturally, he also paid 5000 taels.
Even if the Crown Prince's Mansion and King Yan's Mansion are now regarded as an alliance, but even so, Pei Ji still looks a little unhappy at the moment. After all, losing 5000 taels for nothing, no one will be happy!

But when Li Mo said that they would engrave their names on the stone tablet and put it on Suzaku Street for the common people to admire,
Pei Ji couldn't help but become a little excited immediately, and even when he spoke just now, when he said the last two words admiration, Pei Ji's tone began to change a little!

Why do you become an official, do you really think that being an official is for that sentence, three years to clear the magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflakes?
Yes, it is not!
For those who have ideals and ambitions, this is just one of them,

What is a hundred thousand snowflakes and silver? An official is for fame and profit. Fame and fortune are what an official wants!
As for these civil and military officials who can enter the imperial palace, enter the Taiji Hall, and go to the court to discuss politics, they have many ways to obtain benefits, which is not very attractive to them anymore, but The name has a great attraction for them!
Since ancient times, in the great China, there have been a few people who can be called the chosen ones in every era, but apart from those few people, the common people in this world still want to live, eat and drink,

For Pei Ji, his life is not bad. After being an official and becoming a prime minister, it is basically over, and there is no hope of promotion. After all, he is not from the Li family, so it is impossible to be crowned king or something!
But Pei Ji would definitely not mind if he could leave a name in history, especially if this kind of fame can be bought for only 5000 taels, then it can be said to be a big bargain!
After all, this is to directly engrave their names on the stone tablet, and to erect the stone tablet on Suzaku Street. How come they never thought of such a whimsical idea before?

Of course, even if you think about it, it is probably impossible to realize it. Zhuque Avenue is the most prosperous street in Chang'an City. How could someone casually erect a stone monument on Zhuque Avenue?

Of course, that is for ordinary people. For King Yan, there is no need for this rule at all. After all, King Yan Li Mo has never been a person who obeys the rules!
"That's right, after a while, I will engrave your names and the silver donated for the people of the three realms on the stele, so that millions of people in Chang'an City can admire your righteous deeds!"

Li Mo immediately said convincingly that this idea is commonplace in later generations,

Whether it is building a school, building a bridge, or building a road, it is simply not justified without erecting a stone monument.

I can't wait to explain all the good things my ancestors have done for eight generations on the stone tablet!

Li Mo just moved this idea to Datang, but the effect seems to be surprisingly good!

With this promise from His Royal Highness King Yan, everyone seemed to feel better for a while. After all, it can be regarded as a monument, and these thousands of taels of silver are not considered lonely!

But thinking that His Royal Highness King Yan will leave Beijing tomorrow to go to the land of Three Ways to provide disaster relief,

The thoughts in the hearts of the people are very different, and everyone in the Qin Palace is very happy. Although the cost of inviting King Yan out of Beijing this time is not small, as long as Li Mo can be sent out of Chang'an City, it is also a kind of reward for the Qin Palace. Victory in disguise!

As for the people in the Prince's Mansion, when King Yan left the capital, they lost a big hole card, and they couldn't help but feel a little upset!
But no matter what, this matter has been confirmed and cannot be changed!

……

Zhuque Street, Chang'an City,

As the most prosperous street in Chang'an City, Zhuque Avenue has a pivotal position in Chang'an City.
The entire Suzaku Avenue is fifty feet wide and ten miles long, and there are countless shops, vendors and pedestrians along the street!

But at noon today, in the middle of the Suzaku Street, where there is a huge flow of people, a huge stone tablet suddenly appeared inexplicably!

This stone tablet is made of white marble, one foot high, with auspicious clouds engraved around it, and a turtle at the base!
The originally empty Suzaku Avenue suddenly had such a stone tablet, and the people of Chang'an were a little puzzled!

"What's going on here? Why is there a stone tablet suddenly appearing on the good Suzaku Street?"

"Could someone have dropped something?"

Someone asked on a whim, after all, Zhuque Street has always been bare, and no buildings are allowed except people, why is there a stone monument suddenly?

"Will such a big stone tablet fall from your house? I think someone must have placed it here on purpose. Go up and see what this stone tablet is!"

However, most people are still speechless about this. Who can drop such a big stone tablet with such a big heart!
There is no doubt about the gossip and curiosity of the people in Chang'an. The sudden addition of such a stone tablet on the empty Zhuque Street naturally aroused the curiosity of countless people.

In just a moment, the stone tablet was surrounded by densely packed people in three circles and three circles outside!

However, the literacy rate in this era is really appallingly low. Even if Chang'an is the imperial capital, there are still a lot of illiterate people!
"Why are there so many names engraved on this stele? I know this one, 1000 taels, tsk tsk, why are they all 1000 taels, thousands of taels, what the hell is this?"

What most people can recognize is the few thousand taels engraved under the stone tablet, but as for what the stone tablet is, a group of people look at each other in blank dismay.

But no matter how Chang'an is also the imperial capital, it is impossible for all of them to be illiterate, and there are also those who can read and write. At this moment, they can't help but look up at this stone tablet, trying to show their cultural temperament!

"Don't worry, let me take a look!"

But seeing this person, read aloud:
"Drought in the mountains and locust plagues are serious. The king is worried about the people of the three realms. He summons all civil and military officials to donate money to support the common people of the three realms. Please note as follows!"

"Censor Wei Zheng donated 5000 taels of silver, Sun Wuji, Zuo Chancellor of Zhongshu Province, donated 5000 taels of silver, Zhongcheng Zhongcheng Pei Ji donated 5000 taels of silver, Li Jing, minister of the Ministry of War, donated 6000 taels of silver..."

"This... This is the merit monument erected by His Royal Highness King Yan!"
