Datang: My father is the head bodyguard

At the Tai Chi Palace meeting, Li Shimin looked at the ministers. "Today we are only discussing how to deal with this snow disaster. All my dear friends, please discuss it."

Liu Zhenghui, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, said: "The Ministry of Revenue can allocate at most one hundred thousand yuan for disaster relief this time. I am incompetent. Please forgive me."

Li Shimin said: "In my opinion, how much food relief do we need to allocate to the disaster-stricken areas this time?"

Fang Xuanling came out and said: "Most of the disasters this time were caused by the collapse of houses and the displacement of the people. I think the court can subsidize the bricks and stones to the people and help them rebuild stronger houses."

Li Shimin asked again: "Have any officials under the Ministry of Rites gone to appease the refugees?"

Wang Gui, the Minister of Rites, hurriedly went out to work: "Reporting to Your Majesty, our officials from the Ministry of Rites have left the city to calm the people. I came to the court to inform Your Majesty of this matter."

At this time, there were officials from the Ministry of Rites outside the Taiji Hall asking for an audience, and Li Shimin was busy making announcements.

A minister from the Ministry of Rites knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty! The refugees have disappeared! The refugees have disappeared! We received news that a large number of refugees were going to Chang'an, so we set up porridge stalls at the gates of major cities to distribute porridge and register the source of the refugees. But not a single refugee was seen. On."

Li Shimin knew in his heart that it was that boy Yuchi Baoqi who did it, and coughed lightly.

Wang De understood the meaning. "The weather is cold and your Majesty is in ill health. Please withdraw from the court." Then he asked the Prime Minister, Prime Minister Du and others to go to Ganlu Hall to discuss matters.

In the Manlu Hall, Li Shimin said: "The refugee is gone, it's probably that kid's fault. How about arresting him and questioning him?"

The prime minister did not agree: "Your Majesty, if he is busy with disaster relief and rescuing people at this time, wouldn't calling him here delay the disaster relief?"

Just as Shimin was about to say something, Li Lizhi came: "Father, Baoqi asked me to give you a letter. It was sent by someone, saying that Father was in a hurry to get it. There are also several carts of things, and craftsmen are in various palaces. I'm in charge of the installation, and I've sent guards to keep an eye on it."

Li Shimin quickly opened the envelope and read it. The more he read, the more reassured and comfortable he became, and finally he laughed. "This kid really has two brushes." Li Shimin tore off the content that could not be read and put it away. "Wang De, read it to them and make them happy too."

"Your Majesty, Wei Chi Baoqi. Alas, it takes so much effort to write like this. Father-in-law, I have already sent people to pick up the refugees from the disaster. I went there in the middle of the night, bringing food, clothes and tools. I asked They walked along the road to clear the snow, and when they encountered disaster victims, they fed, drank, and clothed them. After that, they joined the team of clearing the snow, and were paid five cents for their work. Supply points were also set up along the way, and those who froze and starved to death There shouldn't be many refugees. The supply point will make temporary refugee tooth tags for them. When they arrive in Chang'an, I will arrange for them to enter various workshops, do whatever they want, and take care of the food and get paid. The iron workshop can accommodate four thousand people. Around [-] people can be accommodated in Zhuangzi. Each major workshop can accommodate around [-] to [-] people. Remember the Turkic wool? I also built a very large textile workshop that can absorb [-] refugees, mainly women. Don’t worry, the resettlement of the refugees has been a great success.”

After hearing this, Prime Minister Fang and others said: "Your Majesty, this refugee crisis can be solved, and the public contribution of Chang'an County is indispensable. How will your Majesty reward you for such merit?"

Li Shimin waved his hand: "Put it down first. He hasn't even reached the top yet. He has been criticized for being given too many rewards."

Changsun Wuji asked at this time: "Your Majesty, in the letter he calls you father-in-law. I don't know which princess he is marrying."

Li Shimin's face was a little stiff at this time: "Well, Wuji. Empress Changsun has promised Changle to this boy. The Ministry of Rites is still going through the process, and my marriage decree has been handed over to Yuchi Heilian."

Changsun Wuji's face remained as usual: "In that case, I congratulate your majesty on your good son-in-law. I also congratulate your majesty on your good minister."

Seeing Changsun Wuji like this, Li Shimin felt a little unhappy.

"Although Prime Minister Fang and Prime Minister Du have said that the resettlement of the refugees has been completed, the disaster relief regulations for this disaster-stricken area still need to be come up. Prime Minister Fang also said that the court will subsidize bricks and stones for the people. In this way, I would like to trouble Prime Minister Fang and Prime Minister Du to discuss specific methods. Please give me a discount on the amount of the subsidy."

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui cupped their hands and said, "I obey the order."

After the ministers left, Li Shimin summoned Li Xiaogong: "Let Baiqisi keep an eye on Wuji. If he wants to do anything to Yuchi Baoqi, report him immediately. I will leave this matter to you."

"No!" Li Xiaogong agreed and left the Manlu Hall.

"Wuji, don't do anything stupid." Li Shimin tapped his fingers on the table and murmured with his eyes slightly narrowed.

At this time, Yuchi Baoqi was watching the waiter he hired shouting hard in the market after clearing the snow.

"Behive briquette, briquette briquette, briquette briquette costs 50 yuan per penny! If you place an order of 500 yuan or more, briquette briquette will be given to you for the stove!"

There are specially hired people nearby to explain the use of the stove and briquettes in detail.

"Look, take a look, a piece of briquettes will help you eat three meals a day. Burn one piece at night, and the water on the stove will still be warm until you sleep until the next morning."

"Why don't you give me a few dollars? It's three thousand. Register your location and get the voucher. Our guys will deliver it to you."

Yuchi Baoqi came to the briquette workshop, where there were a large number of refugees. Because the newly made briquettes need to be dried in the shade or in the oven, a lot of stoves were set up in the workshop, and they even started to get a bit hot when they entered.

Yuchi Baoqi went to the manager and asked, "Are there any problems in production? Are there any troubles among the workers?"

The person in charge was a retired soldier from Zhuangzi. When he saw Yuchi Baoqi, he gave a military salute and said, "Master, these refugee brothers are very hardworking. They all say that you are a good person. You take care of the food and return the money. They are all afraid of the snowstorm. We can’t have sex with the young master, and there’s a man secretly wiping his tears.”

When everyone heard what the manager said, they also cheered: "Yes, boss, we have the strength, and the boss never underestimates us. If you work with the boss, you will have a bright future in life."

Yuchi Baoqi smiled and said: "If you are willing to stay, you can go find someone to build a house in the village after making money. If you are willing to go back to your hometown, how about I build a workshop for you to work on. By then you will no longer be refugees. , I don’t care about food, I will give you more money.”

Everyone was a little unbelievable after hearing this. They were just joking and joking, but they didn't expect their boss to take such good care of them. Many people fell to their knees at that time.

"Get up, what are you kneeling for? Kneel up to the emperor, kneel down to your parents. I am not worthy of your kneeling, and no one else is worthy of your kneeling." Yuchi Baoqi hurriedly went to pick up a man.

The leading man cried and said: "Refugees are still citizens? No one except our boss treats us as human beings. Our boss gives us clothes and food. It's right to work for our boss, and our boss gives us wages. Now we still have to do it. Give us a way to survive, how can we not kneel down?"

The steward hurriedly said: "The young master doesn't like people to kneel to him, and the young master hates people suffering the most. Get up and do things quickly, and don't embarrass the young master."

Yuchi Baoqi also said: "You guys hurry up and work, I'm just here to take a look."

Yuchi Baoqi was afraid of causing chaos, so he quickly left the workshop and went to the textile factory.

The people of the Tang Dynasty were so simple and simple. As long as you are good to them, they will keep you in their hearts and hold you high.
