Datang: My father is the head bodyguard

The refugees who fled to Chang'an City did not go hungry or suffer from cold this winter, and they were still paid for their work.

Some people want to stay in Chang'an, while others want to return to their hometowns to rebuild their homes. I heard that the imperial court subsidizes bricks and stones, and if you hire people to build houses according to the imperial court specifications, it won't cost a lot of money including subsidies. The money earned from working throughout the winter was used to repair the masonry house, and there was even a surplus.

The stewards of each workshop received Su Quan's notice and summoned people to each workshop.

"Brothers, brothers and sisters! After more than three months of working together, we eat together, live together, and work together. It's time to separate!" said one of the workshop stewards.

The refugees below became noisy, discussing what the steward's words meant.

"From today on, you are no longer refugees. If you are willing to stay, you can go to the owner's village and spend some money to find someone to build a masonry house. If you don't want to stay and want to go back and rebuild your home, the owner will make other arrangements for you. Now those who are willing to stay can go to Zhuangzi to register to build a house, and then someone will take you to change your dental plaque."

Many refugees choose to stay in Chang'an City, and some want to go home.

Seeing that half of the people were left, the steward said: "This time you go back, the boss will not ignore you. You will go on the road together, and there will be someone to guide you. You will be responsible for dredging the rivers that need to be dredged and the places where dams need to be built. and construction. The wages are paid according to the wages of normal workers. Women and the elderly who are responsible for cooking can also get full wages. After you build the embankment, return to the countryside. The boss will send people to help you build houses. You are not needed. Spend another penny. The boss will also send people to inspect your place and set up various workshops there. Those of you with work experience will be given priority!"

The people below looked at each other in shock, and then ran out as if running away. Scenes like this happen in every workshop.

In the Ganlu Hall, Li Xiaogong came to report: "Your Majesty! The Duke of Chang'an County was blocked by refugees in Zhuangzi! Seeing that the situation is critical, I came here to report!"

Li Shimin was teaching Li Chengqian how to handle political affairs at this time, and he stood up immediately.

"Gao Ming, I have to go out for a while. You can handle government affairs here with peace of mind. You can go back to the East Palace first."

Li Chengqian cupped his hands and said, "Father, if you want to go ahead, I will leave first. Father, please pay attention to safety on the road."

Li Shimin nodded and quickly left the palace.

When I came to Zhuangzi, I saw that the entire Zhuangzi was filled with so many people that there was nowhere to go. Li Xiaogong and his guards sandwiched Li Shimin in the middle, cleared the way and finally reached the front of Yuchi Baoqi's yard.

Su Quan was standing in front of the yard to maintain order: "Brothers and sisters, please don't crowd, don't cause a stampede accident! Pay attention to your own safety! The guy who climbed the tree over there, get down quickly! Hey, don't tear down the yard wall! "

Li Shimin walked up to Su Quan and said, "What's going on? Why are there so many people making trouble here?"

When Su Quan saw Li Shimin coming, he was about to salute, but Li Shimin held him down and said, "When you go on a visit incognito, don't expose yourself. Just call me Lao Li."

Quan could only hold up his hands and say: "Old Li, these people are not making trouble, they are just former refugees. Cousin, he gave me some plans. These people are here to thank me. Cousin is thin-skinned and refuses to come out, so he It’s blocked.”

After listening to Yuchi Baoqi's plans, Li Shimin couldn't hide his joy and walked quickly into the courtyard.

Watching Yuchi Baoqi eating roast duck in a leisurely manner. Li Shimin laughed angrily: "You little bastard, the outside is full, so you just eat and drink here."

Yuchi Baoqi rolled a roll of roast duck with lotus leaf pancakes and handed it over: "Looking at those people, I feel ashamed. Just to let them eat and wear warm clothes, they have to kneel down for me. They kneel down one by one As the people on the ground thanked me for their kindness, I felt one mouth after another slapped on my face. How could you tell me to get out?"

Li Shimin took the roll of roast duck and stuffed it into his mouth: "Then you can't just hide. How come this duck is so delicious and was it invented by you?"

Yuchi Baoqi wiped his hands and pushed out a thick book. "Let's take a look. I've already written down the people's livelihood goals for the court in the next five years. Let's see if there's anything to add or anything wrong."

Li Shimin didn't flip through it, but handed the book to Li Xiaogong: "Keep it, it's so thick. When will you see it? Come out with me, kid, and disperse the people. What if there is an accident or a civil commotion?"

Yuchi Baoqi reluctantly followed Li Er out. After Li Xiaogong put away the books, he wrapped the half roast duck in oil paper and put it in his pocket.

The common people knelt down when they saw Yuchi Baoqi coming out. Yuchi Baoqi shouted: "I am Yuchi Baoqi, your boss. But you don't know who my boss is, who asked me to rescue you and give With dignity, I will let you live a job with integrity!" Yuchi Baoqi paused and introduced sideways: "This person is the emperor of the day, the eternal Mingjun, and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty! He is my boss, and he asked me to give Your backbone and dignity allow you to live in this world like human beings! No one in this world is worthy of your kneeling! Except for your parents, and then His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!"

After hearing this, all the people knelt down and said, "See you, Your Majesty!"

They were not forced to kneel down, and no one would chop off their heads if they did not kneel down. They knelt down to thank Li Shimin and Yuchi Baoqi for allowing them to live with dignity.

Li Shimin saw this scene and hurriedly asked the people to get up. "I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and you are the people of the Tang Dynasty! I have an obligation to take responsibility for each of you. I promise! From now on, everyone who works hard will live a life of food and clothing. .The Tang Dynasty is Zhaozhao, and the heaven protects all people!"

The common people also shouted in unison: "Zhao Zhao has the Tang Dynasty, and the sky protects all people! Zhao Zhao has the Tang Dynasty, and the sky protects all people!"

Listening to the people's chants, Li Shimin's eyes became wet at this moment.

Su Quan and Li Xiaogong evacuated the people, and the people left Zhuangzi in an orderly manner and returned to the dormitory of the workshop. After registering the people who wanted to build houses, Yuchishan and others were sent to take the people to the Ministry of Household Affairs to change their dental plaques.

Seeing that the visitor was a pro-soldier of the Duke of E, the Ministry of Revenue naturally did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly compiled all the documents and dental plaques into a book.

Yuchi Baoqi returned to the yard: "Which old man took my duck away?"

Li Shimin returned to the palace, took out the book that Yuchi Baoqi had given him, and started reading it. Li Shimin had just read the catalog and was already extremely shocked. An unprecedented prosperous age suddenly appeared before his eyes.

"Quick! Wang De, go and invite the Prime Minister, Prime Minister Du, and the pharmacist to come and discuss matters!"

"Your Majesty, this... the palace doors are locked, and there is a curfew outside." Wang De was a little speechless.

Li Shimin thought for a while and forget it. He would read it for himself first. It would not be too late to tell him after he finished it.
