Of course, to Zhao Chen, it didn¡¯t matter at all. When had he stopped offending others?
In the entire court, there were at least a few hundred people who could go to court, and there were only a few who really had a good relationship with Zhao Chen, such as Fang Xuanling and Cheng Yaojin, and then they disappeared.
Since entering Chang'an, Zhao Chen has never stopped offending others, but his life has become more and more prosperous.
A minister couldn't help but asked: "Prince-in-law, why are we flatterers? Are we wrong? Aren't the people able to have enough to eat under your majesty's governance? The people are getting better and better, your majesty." You have good governance, why do you just flatter me? These are the truth, truth from the bottom of my heart."
Zhao Chen shook his head: "In addition to flattering people from behind, have you ever come up with any practical strategies, or have you really done anything for the people? Could it be that when you see the living standards of the people in this village, you don't see any problems at all? ?¡±
Those ministers were all stunned, and the minister frowned: "Is there any problem with this?"
"Why not? First, the road leading to the village is bumpy and full of trails; second, what kind of houses do the people in the village live in? They are just the most dilapidated wooden houses without even a stone wall. This kind of house Is it sturdy? Can it protect against wind and rain? Thirdly, the ground of every household is directly covered with dirt, not even floor tiles. With this living standard and conditions, you haven¡¯t seen any of these problems?"
The minister was stunned: "This"
To be honest, they really didn¡¯t see it, but now that they think about it, it seems that these problems do exist.
Zhao Chen said in a deep voice: "You only see the scene of singing and dancing, and you can only sing praises. What are you if you are not a group of sycophants?"
The minister opened his mouth and couldn't help but said: "Then what are you going to do for these people, my consort?"
Zhao Chen said calmly: "Xuanling, read the first five-year plan."
What? five year Plan?
Those ministers were a little confused, and Fang Xuanling started to read directly: "The first five-year plan started from the 10th year of Zhenguan to the 15th year of Zhenguan. It took a total of five years. In this five-year period, , we will achieve the following goals: first, improve the transportation road system of Datang, build thirty main roads, and establish the preliminary highway system of Datang; second, increase the grain production of Datang and ensure that the storage of staple grains reaches 3 million stone. , solve the food crisis and allow the people of Tang Dynasty to enter the first stage of food and clothing in a well-off society; third"
Listening to Fang Xuanling¡¯s words, all the courtiers around him were dumbfounded!
Li Shimin¡¯s eyes also lit up. He hadn¡¯t heard of this plan?
Moreover, this plan really quantifies the goal, making it easy to promote!
After finishing reading, Fang Xuanling said again: "A moderately prosperous society is a concept proposed by Mr. Zhao. I think it is very good. According to the family income level of the people, it can be divided into very poor, poor, subsistence, moderately prosperous, and wealthy. We will eventually The goal is to make the people of Tang Dynasty prosperous together. This is what Mr. Zhao and the Ministry of Reform are planning to do."
The minister was completely speechless. Li Shimin laughed loudly: "Mr. Zhao, this five-year plan is good. I think it is very good, but why haven't I seen it before?"
"Your Majesty, this is still a preliminary draft version. It has not been officially finalized. We plan to revise it to suit the actual situation before submitting it to Your Majesty for review."
Li Shimin was very satisfied, and turned to the ministers and said: "Look, Mr. Zhao is right. As a minister of the Tang Dynasty, you must think about doing practical things for the people, and don't think about flattering me all day long. Is it useful? People¡¯s lives are not improved. If you take pictures ten times, it is not as good as doing something good for the people once. Why can people live a good life this year? Why can people still buy bicycles and tricycles? That¡¯s because of Mr. Zhao¡¯s sweet potatoes and potatoes , is a bicycle developed by Mr. Zhao. These are real practical things. I don¡¯t want to hear anyone flattering me in the future. I just want to hear real and practical suggestions.¡±
Those ministers all bowed their heads in response.
After this simple farce, the convoy continued towards Hedong Road.
After several days in a row, we finally arrived at Hedong Road. As soon as we arrived at Hedong Road, what we saw along the way was very different from the villages we had seen before.
The village on Hedong Road that he passed by was full of lifelessness. Li Shimin got off the carriage and walked forward to take a look. Only then did he realize that there were only about twenty people left in the entire village.
Looking at the old man sitting at the entrance of the village who seemed to be dying, Li Shimin stepped forward.
"Old man, where are the rest of the people in the village? Why do I see so many empty houses in the village?"
The old man raised his head, glanced at Li Shimin, and sighed: "They all got sick and died. Those who got sick in the village took the initiative to leave the village and went to the mass graves. Now in our village, only , some old, young, sick and disabled.¡±
Li Shimin was shocked. He looked at the rest of the people in the village. There were indeed very few young people.
"Now, we don't know whether the people in the village are sick or not. This disease is so serious."
"Isn't there anyone here to treat you?"
"The disease is more or less present in other villages, but our village is doing relatively well, cough cough."
The old man coughed and he was sitting under the willow tree.
Li Shimin felt a little heavy, so he asked the imperial doctor behind him to examine the villagers, then boil medicine for them, and leave some food before continuing to move forward.
The destination of this trip is Niucun.
Not long after we walked forward, we saw a funeral procession. There were more than a dozen coffins and the procession was very long.
Li Shimin's mood became more and more solemn, and as he passed the village, he saw that the village had been isolated, and government agents were holding the isolation line.
Continuing to move forward, Li Shimin asked the imperial doctor to distribute elixirs to help treat the disease. He looked at the villages passing by. A few villages had more people, but the doors were basically closed. After sending people to inquire, they found out that everyone had been I was so scared of the disease outbreak in other villages that I didn't even dare to go out casually.
As for the cultivated land, now that your life is no longer safe, what kind of cultivated land do you need?
Along the way, the bustling and lively scenes of these villages on Hedong Road were much different from the villages we had seen before.
Even several villages are deserted.
Continuing to move forward, Li Shimin was shocked to see that in a village, there were corpses everywhere. The corpses were stinking, the whole village was dead, and the corpses were covered with terrible abscesses.
"Where is the county magistrate? Why is there no county magistrate in charge of this village?"
Li Shimin¡¯s face was extremely ugly. Many of the courtiers in the team couldn¡¯t help but vomit after seeing the hell-like village scene from a distance.
Zhao Chen remained silent. The further he went, the more severe the plague broke out in these villages. It is conceivable that if it were another month or two months later, the entire Hedong Road would become a place of plague! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
