Chapter 38 Four decrees

Li Mu has been very tired these days and has been walking around all day long. Even the iron man can't stand it. Now he opens his eyes every day. He first has to go to the yamen to have a meeting with Li Siwen and Wang Hu, and agrees on the regulations of the day. Then he has to rush to the second floor of the East and West, to resettle refugees, go home for lunch, make wine in the afternoon, and in the evening, he has to go to the construction site to inspect the progress of the day. He then comes to the small square between the second floor of the East and West, and give a speech to the refugees, without any time. He originally planned to talk to him about business after Bai Naoer came, but he didn't take time.

As the sun sets in the west, it is time for the daily tricks. Li Siwen memorized the manuscript for a day, and had already become familiar with it. He climbed onto the platform and started his performance. It is not useless to say that Li Siwen is not useless. After observing these days, Li Mu found that Li Siwen has a typical performance personality. If you let him do things down to earth, he will definitely not be able to do it. But if you do some face-saving projects and come and send things, he will get started faster than anyone else. Except for the first-day speech, written by Li Mu, who wrote the speeches afterwards, Li Siwen did it himself, and Li Mu didn't need to worry about it at all.

"... Jie Li was not kind, and he plundered the Central Plains several times and suffered from the sufferings. Our emperor, Wen and Wu, worked hard to govern, endured for several years, and achieved his contributions in one battle. This time, defeating the Turks was a foregone conclusion. The army was pursuing the remnants of the Turks, and the day of victory was right in front of him. Speaking of this, the Hu people and Turks present were afraid that they would be worried? If the Tang Dynasty defeated the Turks, how should we treat us? Will it enslave us?"

"I'll tell you the answer! No! Not only will I not enslave you, but I will also treat you kindly, so that you will become the people of the Tang Dynasty and bathe in the glory of the Khan of Heaven!"

"Long before the war began, Your Majesty had stated that this war would never be directed at the people. Of course, there would be enslaved people, but those people were those who raised their weapons to fight against our Tang soldiers. Their weapons were stained with the blood of our Tang soldiers. They were completely blamed for their enslavement!"

"Your Majesty once said: 'Since ancient times, we have always valued China and were inferior to barbarians, and I love them as one.' Have you ever heard other monarchs say such things? No? What does this mean? It means that my emperor has a broad mind and can be grateful to the rule of such a kind monarch!"

Li Siwen was talking excitedly. Yu Guang glanced at Li Mu's gesture. He knew that the brainwashing was almost the same. He coughed lightly and naturally turned the topic to the comforting policy.

"This time, I and the county magistrate have also uphold the benevolent heart of Your Majesty and are very lenient to you. Your Majesty loves you as well. I treat you equally. Whether it is a Tang Dynasty, a Hu, or even a Turkic person, as long as I fall into my Dingxiang City household registration, I will be my Tang Dynasty people. Considering everyone's current situation, I have issued four government orders for the four aspects of "food, clothing, housing and transportation". I will listen to what I heard yesterday, mainly for those who are coming today, and remember it in my heart. If you forget it, ask others, or come back tomorrow. I will say it every day at this time of day."

"One government order, food is the most important thing for people, so let's talk about the aspect of 'food'. When everyone entered the city, they also saw it. The city walls were repaired around Dingxiang City. There was a place to put meals next to each construction site, which were served three times a day, one at morning, noon and evening. Who can go to eat? First of all, young and strong laborers helped repair the city walls, and they could eat with food, care for their fullness, and pay for their wages. It doesn't matter if women and children can't do this work. They can help cook, cook rice, and pick vegetables. These don't require much effort. They can always be done, and they can also eat. Children under the age of ten, as long as they don't cry or make trouble, they have to eat. Above ten years old and over ten years old and have no disability, they must participate in labor before they can eat. In a word, in Dingxiang City, they can eat with labor, and they don't raise lazy people. Have you heard clearly?"

Everyone responded with a loud voice, Li Siwen nodded with satisfaction and continued, "Political order 2, "In terms of "living", you can look left and right. There are two east and west yards in this city, and now there are empty houses. Depending on the number of people in each household, houses of different areas can be allocated to different areas. Of course, this house cannot be given for free. The family who receives the house must pay a similar price. There are several aspects here. If you have spare money, you can pay for the house, and there are discounts. If you have money, you can pay for the house.

If it is not enough, you can pay for it. Go to the construction site to work or help cook, calculate daily salary, and deduct the money from the house. Don't worry, I will not calculate your interest. If you don't have enough money and are unwilling to work, then go to the outside of the city to reclaim the fields. As long as you reclaim ten acres of land, not only will these fields be cultivated for you, but the house is also yours. If you have no money, don't want to work, and don't want to reclaim the fields, then go to death. Dingxiang City will not raise lazy people! Do you understand?"

"Three government orders, the aspect of 'clothes'. Dingxiangcheng is now in a crisis. The government does not advocate brocade clothes and clothes, which are mainly warm and practical. In this regard, the government will organize a 'clothes bureau'. Women who are well-made women can go to the clothes bureau to find a job. The government will pay money, rice, and clothes, and strive to ensure that everyone has clothes to keep warm before winter. Young and strong can also go to the mountains to hunt, meat and fur, and the government will also purchase them. The price is only higher than that of neighboring counties. If you are interested, you can come to the government to register. The government will help you get in touch with everyone and let everyone get into the mountain together to avoid accidents. Here, this official reiterates that it is not recommended to go into the mountain alone. Please cherish your life!"

"The fourth government order, regarding the 'travel' aspect. Dingxiang City is in ruins, with few cars and horses, and travel is inconvenient. Therefore, for everyone, this official stipulates that every one, three or five days, the government will go to the neighboring county to buy it. If there is a free place at this time, you can take the government's transport vehicle for free. If there is an urgent matter, you can also invest in the temporary idle carriage and horse passage. Ask for the matter, come to the 'carriage and horse shop' on the east side of the government to find Bai Gensheng. He is now responsible for this matter."

"I hope everyone will remember the above four decrees. If you can't remember them, then remember one sentence, that is, Dingxiangcheng does not raise lazy people. If you want to live in Dingxiangcheng, you have to work. This is an iron rule and cannot be changed. Okay, the Japanese officials will talk about this. Let's break up. If you want to work, go to the responsible person everywhere, you can eat when you work, and if you do well, you will have money to get it!"
