After Chuning finished speaking, he asked people to see off the guests. If all the merchants realized something, they left one after another to find someone to discuss.

Seeing that it was getting late, Chuning stayed on the boat to accompany Bai Su to have dinner, and then the two lit up the lights to talk at night, from Huangxian to Donglai, from Liaodong to Youzhou, from shopping malls to battlefields, from people's livelihood to the economy , From the people to the court, the two talked about almost everything. After talking about it, both of them felt tired, so they turned off the lights and went to sleep.

The Guards and People's Army knew for a long time that when Master Bai was there, General Chu was not very rational. He set up the camp according to the military regulations, lined up the guards, distributed food to the border residents, and gathered them in a flat place to separate them. Arrangement, but it was safe overnight, no trouble happened.

The next day, after the training of the Weimin Army and the Zhaoyi Army, Chuning walked off the boat full of energy. Bai Su nodded and said goodbye to her, then left with his entourage, found an open area, set up tables and chairs, and supported Hang up the banner.

"Donglai Baijia hires salt workers, regardless of gender, as long as they work hard?" Li Rui walked over, stood next to Chuning, and read the contents of the banners: "You don't care about food, and you get paid three pennies a day?"

"There is still a section missing. Look, there is still one on the table." Seeing that Li Rui's complexion was getting darker and darker, Chuning hurriedly said: "The first month's wages are paid every day. After one month, how much money do you earn?" More, earn less, earn less..."

"This princess can read!" Li Rui lost his composure and said coldly, "Is this how Chu Zhaoyi arranged for the people? He took them to escape from the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood, and let these merchants eat blood." Bones? Three Wen wages per day? Do you still care about living and eating? Where is the house? What do you eat? Are you planning to stop caring about their life and death as long as they go to merchants?"

As a member of the royal family, although Li Rui has never experienced the suffering of the people at the bottom, the teachings she received since she was a child, as well as the Daqing court's policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business, made her full of prejudice against merchants, even if Bai Su brought her She had a slightly different perception, but she ignored them now, staring at Chuning coldly, with unprecedented anger mixed in her eyes.

Before this Eastern Expedition, to Li Rui, the common people were just words written and spoken, strangers in Chang'an who came and went but couldn't name them, and when she set foot on the After this road to the east, these two words are no longer illusory to her, but one by one will cry, laugh, be hungry, and die, and will cross the mountain of corpses and seas of blood with her, and will be with her. Trekking through mountains and rivers will make her feel warm... a living person.

However, Li Rui didn't expect that on the first day they escaped, Chuning would let others bully them, and it was so bone-destroying.

"Chuning!" Li Rui called his name directly, and said sharply, "Do you still remember what you said to me the day you handed over the seized account books to me?"

"Remember." Chu Ning looked at Li Rui, remained silent for a while, and replied, "What I told you is 'fairness', to treat the Zhongwu Army and Zhaoyi Army fairly, to distribute labor and food fairly, and to treat every border resident fairly. And refugees, men, women and children, are treated equally."

"So what you're doing now, is it fair?"

Perhaps, to a certain extent, Li Rui's anger was not just about pity for these common people, but more because of the word "fairness" that Chuning had said to her.

Li Rui, the owner of Yingchuan County, who was born in unfairness and grew up in unfairness, yearns for "fairness" alone - because, as Chuning once said, only in a fair and just world can people live and work in peace and contentment. will not be bullied.

From birth to now, Li Rui has never suffered bullying such as beatings or scolding, but since she was sensible, she has already understood that because she was born in the royal family and because she is a daughter, she was treated differently since she was a child. He can't inherit his father's title, nor can he get the tens of thousands of fertile land under the name of King Song. One day in the future, he will be sent to a remote tribe to marry a stranger who has never been masked. For the court, for her so-called relatives and the people of the world, in exchange for a stable country and a short-term border peace.

During such a long journey, although she had doubts about the dream that Chuning said, she vaguely saw the shadow of "fairness and justice" in Chuning, and she was still full of hope, even if she couldn't To change her fate, even if she is destined to marry Hu Yi far away, even if she is destined to die in a foreign land, she still hopes that she can see—to see the fairness that may only exist in dreams... regardless of men, women, old or young, fairness that treats everyone equally, without bullying , there is no difference in treatment, and there is no need to worry about it since childhood, let alone being destined to be sent to a different race for marriage just because of her daughter.

Therefore, during the period when he was in charge of the account books and seized materials, Li Rui acted extremely fair and just, and even restrained his usual insidious calculations, and what Chuning is doing now, in Li Rui's opinion, This is especially unfair—not to mention the price of servants in Chang'an City, but the gossip she heard from the guards was enough for her to discern the difference.

If even the labor and harvest paid are not fair, how can we talk about fairness?How about treating men and women equally, old and weak?

But Chuning was not afraid of Li Rui's anger at all, and looked back calmly: "In my opinion, this is the greatest fairness."

Li Rui said with a sarcasm, "Is three pennies fair?"

"No! They can also choose five yuan or ten yuan." Chuning said, pointing to several newly built tables and chairs: "The Zhang family is hiring woodcutters, five yuan a day; Liu's , I am hiring a strong man, and I am going to build a hut for the Bai family, and I will pay ten yuan a day."

Hearing this, Li Rui was slightly taken aback, and looked in the direction Chuning pointed, but saw an old woman with white hair, who was sitting there energetically with a folding mat, a bundle of dry firewood was placed in front of her, and a cloth was propped beside her. It reads: Youpo's dry firewood stand collects a lot of dry firewood, ten catties for a penny, no bully for children.

Immediately afterwards, another round-cheeked little lady came over with a cloth with wet ink on it, and seized a spacious place. She was very aggressive and yelled at the Zhang family: "Zhang lao six!" , where is the cart that my mother asked you to make? Is it ready? My mother expects to use your cart to load wild vegetables today."

As time went by, more and more merchants got off the boat, men and women, old and young.Some hired workers, some bought goods, some sold sickles, hoes, and wood saws, and some talked about business with each other. They set up tables and chairs and moved around frequently. The two cities are still a bit noisy.

Li Rui was a little unfamiliar with this scene. Looking back at Chuning, and then looking at those border residents and refugees who were timidly standing around watching from a distance, he still felt very incomprehensible. Why did Chuning favor these well-dressed merchants? .

But whether it is fair or not, this at least gives these border residents and refugees a chance to choose. At least, they don't have to wait for the bowl of porridge from the guards to hang their lives.

"Grandma, what is the use of you taking back this dry firewood?" After hesitating for a moment, Li Rui stepped forward, came to the stall of You Po's dry firewood, and asked.

"Hey, I told you, you little girl, you're really smart. What's the point of asking about this?" That You Po obviously had seen the world, and seeing Li Rui's extraordinary clothes, she didn't look like she wanted to compete with her for business. , although the words were not very polite, but he still revealed a little bit: "See? The Bai family is hiring salt workers over there, and the Zhu family is steaming steamed buns... and there, see? The noodle stall we set up..."

Immediately, Li Rui's face turned reddish, and he felt a little embarrassed. He didn't notice such an obvious thing.

However, it is a pity that although the merchants' side is lively, the border residents are watching from a distance on the other side, and no one dares to come forward.

Li Rui waved, and picked some familiar people from among the border residents to come over and give orders.Not long after, Chuning saw these frontier residents, and began to go to the merchants' desks in groups of three to fifty people, register their names, get tools, and hurried to the mountains while it was still early.

"I probably understand what you mean." Li Rui returned to Chuning and said, "Although the capture in Xianbei this time is considered considerable, it can't stand up to so many mouths, so these merchants were recruited and used by the border residents. Labor is exchanged for wages and food subsidies...Although I still think that this commission is not fair, and that your so-called 'choice' is not fair, but I have no objection."

Chuning sighed secretly, and let Li Rui take care of it. He divided the able-bodied men into two groups, some went up the mountain to cut wood, and some went down the mountain to build a foundation for the stone materials for building a house, while the salt workers did firewood and wild vegetables and other low-paying jobs. But Li Rui didn't like it, so he only asked the healthy woman to pick up some and bring them back to the army for their own use, instead of selling them.

In the evening, Li Rui took several carts of food back to the camp. Seeing that Chu Ning, Xiao Hongfei and others were waiting for her to eat, he was very happy to talk about the achievements of the border people's labor. Seeing that Bai Su was there, he complained: " Master Bai, why do these merchants use silk money for settlement? We are so tired that we have to take silk money to your ship to exchange for food."

However, Li Rui didn't know that the silk money was created by Bai Su and Chuning.If it is in Donglai or other places, these silk tickets must not be used as money, because they have no reputation value, but Bai Su brought merchants from Donglai this time, and he used the ship's limited load as an excuse in advance. The merchants exchanged all their copper coins for silk coins, and promised that even in places other than Dongnae, these merchants could exchange these silk notes for copper coins or equivalent grain.

The border residents and refugees have nothing at all. Even if you give them a leaf, as long as it can be exchanged for food in the end, you can quickly establish the credit of silk money, so that the silk money can be fully circulated here, until the quality of paper is improved in the future. The comprehensive promotion of lower-cost paper money is also a matter of course.

After a few words with Chuning and others, Li Rui left with two pancakes in his arms, and led people to transport the food to the cook, ordering to add half a bowl of batter to every border dweller tonight.

Since the Zhongwu Army and the Fengming War Department will set off tomorrow, this dinner is regarded as a farewell party for Xiao Hongfei, Li Rui and Yan Lingge by Chu Ning and the others, but it is unexpected that Li Rui and Chu Ning have a baby at this juncture. Even though Li Rui acted nonchalantly at this time, everyone was watching her words and deeds, but they knew it well.

Xiao Hongfei also had a clear understanding of what happened during the day. Seeing this, he could only sigh inwardly, and comforted Chu Ning: "After all, Princess Yingchuan is a member of the royal family. Although she is not powerful, she can not be offended. It is better not to offend... ..."

"General Xiao is worrying too much. It's just a political dispute between Princess Yingchuan and I, and it's not an offense." Chuning said with a helpless smile, "Besides, the princess is not yet twenty-eight years old. How old are you, after all, you won't be angry with a child?"

Having said that, Chuning knew that he really didn't think carefully, and unconsciously took the position of merchants.I wanted to borrow merchants to rebuild the economic order and resettle the border residents, but I forgot the profit-seeking nature of the free economy. If the free economy is opened at this stage, then, for these border residents who have nothing, it is actually just a selection contest of survival of the fittest. Without fairness and justice, at least morally, it will be untenable.

However, Li Rui's objection sounded a wake-up call for Chuning—although economy and government affairs and people's livelihood are closely related, there is still a big difference after all. She needs to think carefully, she must change her thinking and identity positioning, and can no longer be like before, only seeking profit and putting interests first.

Because, although an economy that is too free will lead to prosperity in business, it will also bring a lot of inconvenience to government affairs and people's livelihood.

For example, there is a principle of inequality in economics - the [-]th law.

20.00% of the people control 80.00% of the wealth and resources; 80.00% of the people enjoy 20.00% of the wealth and resources.

On the contrary, people's livelihood government affairs are based on the principle of satisfying the interests and resources of the majority of people.

Therefore, Chuning was deeply aware of his own shortcomings. After much deliberation, for the sake of safety, he could only follow Li Rui's method for the time being to organize the labor force to jointly obtain and distribute resources. The market economy is eliminated.
