After mobilizing women's enthusiasm, Li Mu had a deeper understanding of the saying "Men and Women's Cooperation" is not tired of working.

Let’s talk about the matter of digging wells. If the tasks assigned to the village are assigned in the name of resettlement, even if the work points are given, few people are willing to do it. Because compared to other jobs with the same work points, digging wells is really tiring.

But what if it was their own women who made this request?

Whether they are tired or not, they have to do it. And they have to do it happily unless they don’t want to go to bed at night.

Li Mubin thought that this would not happen under the influence of the ancient idea of ​​"male superiority and female inferiority". But in fact, male superiority and female inferiority are more reflected in books, or are like this in high-ranking families. For ordinary people, it is difficult to get a wife, so how can they not be spoiled and loved? She washes you, cooks you, and gives birth to children for you, dare not take it seriously, and dare not be disobedient?

Moreover, women's competing spirit is not different from the times. Under Li Mu's propaganda and offensive, almost all women agree with the idea that they have to drink well water but not river water. It is the second thing that is hygienic, mainly because of this kind of life behavior, which distinguishes the grades.

Who drinks river water?

In the past, I only drank river water on the grassland, I only drank river water when I sleep in the wind and eat in the open, and I only drank river water when I wear ragged clothes and beg for food!

Now living in a resettlement village, with a family and a job, and still drinking river water?

This feeling is similar to later generations, where neighbors all live in buildings, but their own homes live in bungalows. Even if they live in buildings, they may not be as comfortable as living in bungalows, but it is definitely true that "most people" choose them. If I don't do that, it will seem strange... Under such thoughts, I still yearn for buildings.

And men, compared to the nagging of their wives, doing some work is nothing.

Seeing that the effect was so good, Li Muzi did not hesitate to add another handful of oil. He issued a new announcement stating that if the epidemic prevention work of resettlement villages is done well, he would consider establishing a women's committee. The women's committee can report women's opinions, suggestions and requirements to the county government, and represent women in village affairs. Although it is not a formal official position, it will also be commended according to the contribution.

With the dual blessing of power and honor, the women went crazy. Especially after hearing that the performance of this epidemic prevention work will directly affect the rumor about whether they were elected, no matter what instructions there are, there is no need to mobilize them at all, and each one is more active than the other.

Even what Li Mu didn't ask for, they thought of the front. In addition to digging wells, they also filled potholes everywhere, dug ditches for drainage, and picked up stones to pave the road. Although they did not do the job faster than men, the progress was actually quite considerable.

The point is that the farm does not need to give work points, and it cannot create any burden.

Children can’t do much work, but they can catch snails. In order to avoid infection, Li Mu specially customized a batch of long-handed racks, which can be caught without touching them with hands. There is no contact throughout the whole process, so naturally there will be no infection. Children can use snails to exchange candy cubes, rice flour, or even bacon. As long as they work hard, they can at least have a piece of candy to eat. For children, it is already a great happiness.

After the children started, the end of the snails came. In all the resettlement villages, there were as many as tens of thousands of children. Every day, each child grabbed a snail, which was tens of thousands. No matter how many snails were, it could not withstand such grabbing.

From the beginning, every child could catch dozens of them a day, to the end, it was rare to catch tens of them a day. Seeing that the snails were about to die out, Li Mu couldn't bear to waste the enthusiasm of the children and issued a wanted order to the mice.

Rats are much more difficult to deal with than snails, and they are also aggressive. Unlike snails, they are still waiting for you to catch them. But how could children who have eaten candy cubes be willing to go back to the time of liberation? Under the temptation of food, the children's brain power is developing rapidly. They dig holes and set up cardboards, dig holes and cages, dig three feet into the ground, weave clips with willow branches, and use any easy-to-use method. The poor mice immediately fell into the vast ocean of the people's war. Seeing that they could not resist, the poor mice also brought their families and moved at night...

In the later stage, because the rats were really not found, the children went up the mountain to look for them, but there was still a difference in the appearance of the mountain rats and the field mice, but the minor officials who could not hide the excessive sugar and scolded them severely, the bad wind was slightly curbed.

Li Mu also asked them to report the situation in their village regularly, and people who were suddenly sick immediately when they found that they were sick. Jiangnan First Hospital would send medical officers to diagnose and treat them as soon as possible, and if it was an infectious disease, they would immediately isolate a single patient. Then, according to the doctor's judgment, not only would individual patients be isolated, but also, depending on the serious situation, the patient's family and even a group of people who had been in close contact with them were isolated for diagnosis and treatment.

Although this will increase the public expenses of Jiangnan First Hospital a lot, this part of the money is willing to spend. In the future maritime trade, there will be specialists to spend these public expenses. Although the prominent families in Jiangnan feel that this part of the money was a bit unfair, after all, Li Mu himself did not occupy a part, and they could only accept this part of the money, just treat it as money for Li Mu.

With the multi-pronged approach of two or two and a half people, not only did the epidemic be quickly extinguished, but the health and mental outlook of the villagers in the resettlement village also improved significantly.

The epidemic that had not yet spread was over, and under the tactics of all staff, it ended in less than a month. Although the epidemic delayed the progress of the project, what made Li Mu happy was that through this epidemic, he found a way to organize the masses. These mature plans that were practiced were also written down by him and submitted to Li Shimin. As for how Li Shimin arranged it, it was his business.

...

It has been a month since Li Shimin returned to Chang'an. He spent a winter in Yangzhou. With Li Mu, a coolie, he ignored the memorials. Although he was a little scared, his life was comfortable and comfortable. After returning to Chang'an, there were mountains of memorials. Li Shimin was like a child who returned to school after the winter vacation, and he was in a bad mood.

As usual, he asked Changsun Wuji for help, but he felt that it was not as good as that.

In the past, when Changsun Wuji helped him read the memorial, Li Shimin felt that the opinions given were quite pertinent. But now, Changsun Wuji gave the same opinions, and he felt that they were not in line with each other. Although Li Shimin did not say it directly, he frowned from time to time, which had already exposed his thoughts.

Changsun Wuji also noticed it, so he became more and more careful when he spoke. He didn't know where he said the wrong thing, which was the most terrifying thing. If he knew where something went wrong, he could still correct it, but he didn't know where something went wrong, how to correct it?

"Send to the national uncle..."

Outside the hall, Eunuch Gao's voice and Changsun Wuji's low greetings came. Soon, Eunuch Gao came back and stood beside Li Shimin with his hands behind his back.

Li Shimin looked up at him and said, "Have you given money again?"

"When you say that, the uncle will reward you with 500 trump cards."

"Oh, I've given it a lot this time." Li Shimin said this for a reason. Changsun Wuji has never been generous in his actions. Before Li Mu came to Chang'an, he sent the officials in the palace all one tael of silver or two taels of silver. When he arrived at Eunuch Gao, he was only a small silverware worth ten or eight tons of silver. Later, Li Mu often went to and from the palace gate, and he was all small goldfish, big goldfish, which made him even more shabby.

Five hundred stakes, when did Changsun Wuji produce such a huge amount of blood?

In the past, when Li Shimin asked about it, Eunuch Gao would take out the money and express his willingness to hand it over to His Majesty. Li Shimin would also say that he would just treat it as I rewarded you, and Eunuch Gao would accept it. But today, Eunuch Gao did not say this. Li Shimin frowned slightly, but it was hard to say anything. After all, the money was not paid out of his pocket.

Eunuch Gao knew what Li Shimin was thinking and said, "Your Majesty, I am not greedy for money, but the little eunuchs in the factory are getting more and more... But the court's budget is not ours. The children have made contributions and cannot help but reward them. I am at the hands of the old slave..."

Li Shimin heard the meaning and cursed: "You old dog, you have asked me for money! I don't have money to give you, so let's have less advice!"

Eunuch Gao looked bitter and said, "Your Majesty, I really don't dare to speak to Your Majesty... Otherwise, I will write a letter and ask the marquis to find a solution?"

"Talk about him..." Li Shimin took out three memorials and said, "These are three memorials he recently gave me. They are all good ideas and have suggestions, but I am unhappy. Do you know why?"

"I'm afraid to guess..." Eunuch Gao tentatively said: "Your Majesty is because there is no more fun in the memorial?"

Li Shimin sighed and said, "Yes... Look at this memorial, if it weren't for the signature of Li Mu, I would have thought it was written by a law-abiding minister. I used to nag him and make him more rules, but now that he is in a manner, I am not used to it-"

"Your Majesty, I feel that Your Majesty doesn't have to do this," Gao Eunuch advised: "In the past, the Marquis Meng Lang, was mostly because of his youth, lack of discipline in childhood, and no one taught him etiquette, and his nature was unruly. And in recent years, Your Majesty has entrusted important tasks to the Marquis and taught him. As he grows older, it is normal for the Marquis to mature. Your Majesty should be happy for the Marquis. If he has not made any progress at all, Your Majesty will have to worry."

“That’s right—”

Li Shimin put down the memorial and said, "This first memorial was brought back by Qingque. The memorial said that in the process of making glass, he discovered that glass could enlarge objects. So based on this principle, he made glass and microscopes. The microscope can be used for medical skills. I asked someone to send it to Liu Shenwei. This glass is a good thing. But why can't I understand why the Supreme Emperor felt clearly after wearing it, but I felt dizzy after wearing it?"

Li Shimin murmured: "I want to ask about this, but it's so far apart. I'm like a flying pigeon to pass on a letter just to ask about such idiots, which makes me ridiculous..."

"Your Majesty may as well wait for a moment when asking other things, and it may be a good idea."

"Well..." Li Shimin looked through the other two memorials and said, "This memorial tells me that he has built a hospital and wants me to build a hospital in Chang'an and Luoyang. It's not that I don't know the benefits of this hospital, but that Chang'an and Luoyang are not as good as Yangzhou. The population of the two cities is more than two million. If he is like him, this one does not charge money and that one does not need money, the national treasury may not be able to afford it... Alas, when it comes to this money, I miss him a little. When he is here, he can always find ways to make money. Now he is in Yangzhou, and Yangzhou is not short of money, but my treasury is getting worse and worse."

Eunuch Gao thought to himself, Your Majesty is really pretentious. In the past, when the treasury did not even have 50,000 guan, his life was still the same. Now, the treasury only earns one million guan a year, and 100,000 guan a year, but the situation is getting worse and worse? I am really not satisfied.

The small part was also due to the migration of the Turkic population, which led to a lot of reduction in leather trade. However, the losses in this part were all compensated after the commercial tax was imposed. However, the money that was compensated became the money of the treasury, which seemed to be less than the treasury.

Eunuch Gao didn't say anything, but only heard Li Shimin himself muttering: "This matter is put on hold for the time being. I want to prepare for the war and can't afford to pay for the remaining money. Don't think about the treasury. The six ministries fought for budgets and were really disgraceful."

Li Shimin muttered, picked up the last memorial, and smiled and said, "I really didn't expect that this woman and child can be of such great use. Li Mu only used some candy and bacon, and did so many things to make the people so active. What is this a capable minister? A high-ranking official, who wrote a document from the Secretariat, let all counties and counties in the world take a look and learn a little."

"No," Eunuch Gao took it. Now that the Secretariat has 'get off work', this matter will not be handled tomorrow.

After reading Li Mu's memorial, Li Shimin was silent for a while. Suddenly he raised his head and signaled Eunuch Gao to sit next to the desk where Changsun Wuji had just sat. Eunuch Gao didn't dare to say anything, but Li Shimin insisted on doing so, so he had to obey his orders.

Li Shimin looked at Eunuch Gao for a while and asked, "Great Cadre, I have something I can't figure out recently. Please help me to take a look... Why do I think the advice given to me by my uncle recently is very inappropriate? But I didn't pick out anything wrong with what the uncle said, why do I feel this way?"

Eunuch Gao didn't dare to answer easily, and his eyes rolled, and asked, "I'll ask, I'll dare to ask, whose statements Your Majesty think are more in line with your heart recently?"
