Cao Deng took a deep breath and suppressed the surprise in his heart. He stared at Wang Qi with stern eyes and said in a deep voice: "The Prime Minister's words are so direct, aren't you afraid that they will be spread out?"
Wang Qi asked: "What are you afraid of?"
Cao Deng smiled coldly and said: "In today's court, there are so many people who are flattering. Every official who is an official does not think about how to handle the government affairs in their hands or how to do their job well. On the contrary, Just try to figure out what¡¯s best for you.¡±
"I just think about how to please my boss and how to get high in the court."
¡°The official atmosphere is disappointing.¡±
Cao Deng said in a deep voice: "So if the words of the Prime Minister are really spread, it will definitely be detrimental to the Prime Minister. In fact, the Prime Minister will be criticized by countless people."
Wang Qi said confidently: "Are you afraid that you won't say anything? This is not my style. There are thousands of roads, and I only choose the most correct one. If this road is full of difficulties and obstacles, I will not be afraid. . If we are afraid of everything, our country, Langya, will not be able to rise and gain a foothold in a short period of time."
Cao Deng smiled and said: "The Prime Minister clearly knows that I misunderstood the Prime Minister."
Wang Qidao: "Then Mr. Cao is willing to deign to serve as the governor of Donghai County. Since Mr. Cao can't stand today's officialdom, he will create a fair and just environment for the thousands of people in Donghai County, so that the elderly can be provided for and the young can have a good life. What I teach is that the poor have someone to rely on, the poor have someone to support them, and the widowers, widowers, lonely people, and the disabled all have someone to support them.¡±
"Mr. Cao, would you like to give it a try?"
Wang Qi extended an olive branch again.
Wang Qi has always valued talents. After all, talents are rare.
When Cao Deng heard Wang Qi's words, he muttered: "The old will be supported, the young will be educated, the poor will be supported, the poor will be helped, the widowed, lonely, disabled, and sick will all be provided for. Good, good saying: The old will be provided for." ah."
His eyes gradually became sharper.
In my heart, I have made a decision.
Cao Deng stood up, shook his robe, clasped his hands, and said, "Cao Deng, I am willing to serve as the prime minister."
"Greetings to the lord."
Cao Deng bowed ninety degrees and made a great salute.
Wang Qi stood up, walked to Cao Deng, held up Cao Deng and said: "With Mr. Cao's help, I don't have any worries in Donghai County. I have been worried about who should be sent to guard Donghai County before, but now I no longer have any worries."
Cao Deng said: "In this humble position, I should do my best to live up to my lord's high expectations."
Wang Qi nodded and sat down with Cao Deng again.
A gust of cold wind blew, and he tightened his clothes and said: "Mr. Cao, you are in charge of Donghai County, is there anyone who needs assistance? I will leave Donghai County to you. I will go to Pengcheng Kingdom next, and I will not delay too much in Donghai County." Lots of time.¡±
Cao Deng said: "My request here in Donghai County is very simple. Leave me three thousand soldiers and horses. With three thousand elites and enough money and food, it is enough to revitalize Donghai County."
Wang Qidao: "I will allocate a batch of the Mi family's money and food to you. Then, I will arrange for the rest of the food and money to be sent to Nanyang. In addition, all the land controlled by the Mi family will be handed over to you. In addition, it is already desolate. The land, in this way, the government will control countless lands. According to the rules of Langya Kingdom, all the land will be in the hands of the government."
Cao Deng was a little puzzled and asked: "Lord, isn't this competing with the people for profit?"
Land is the foundation of the people.
In Cao Deng¡¯s view, only by giving the land to the people can the people cultivate it.
Wang Qi shook his head and said: "No, you are wrong. All land is prone to problems if it is distributed to the people. Once there is a natural or man-made disaster, these lands will continue to be annexed and eventually concentrated in the hands of aristocratic families."
"Have Mr. Cao ever studied history?"
"If you look carefully, you will find that throughout the dynasties, when the country was founded, almost all the people had land to cultivate. But as time went by, by the end of the dynasty, all the land was annexed."
Wang Qi's eyes were wise and he said: "Once the people have no land to cultivate and lose the foundation for survival, in the end, they will only be able to use Luo Cao as bandits and plunder everywhere."
"This also leads to the proliferation of thieves and bandits in the local area and chaos in the world."
"This is the current situation in Dazhou."
"Of course, the turmoil in the Great Zhou Dynasty was actually not only caused by land annexation. In addition to these, there were also chaos in the court, expansion of local areas, and many other reasons."
"However, there are big problems here among the people."
Wang Qi talked eloquently and continued: "So my arrangement is that all the land will be returned to the government."??The government's land will be distributed free of charge to the people for cultivation. The people can cultivate it, but they are not allowed to buy or sell it. The land allocated to people had to be taken back at the slightest death and continued to be controlled by the government. "
Cao Deng is a shrewd man, and he has already figured it out in a short period of time.
This is a way to contain the aristocratic family.
The aristocratic family not only has a lot of study resources, but also has a lot of land. Once the land policy is reformed, at least for now, there will be certain changes. It cannot be said that the aristocratic family has always controlled the land.
Only in times of great chaos can there be opportunities for change.
Cao Deng clasped his hands together and said again: "My lord, I admire your benevolence and righteousness. Please rest assured, my lord, even if I die, I will definitely implement your lord's policies so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment."
Wang Qi smiled and said: "Sit down and say, I don't need you to die. What I need is for you to work down-to-earth so that the people of Donghai County can live a good life. This is enough."
Cao Deng nodded solemnly and said, "You will definitely live up to your master's high expectations even if you hold a humble position."
Wang Qi and Cao Deng talked about other things in Donghai County, such as the development of industry and commerce, and talked about various things. After all was said and done, Wang Qi and Mi Huang stopped lingering, stood up and left.
Cao Deng stayed in the living room, his expression still shocked and his heart still filled with excitement.
Wang Qi¡¯s words really made Cao Deng¡¯s blood boil.
This is the master of great potential.
He wants to serve such a lord.
While Cao Deng was thinking, he saw Cao Gui entering. After he stood still, he saluted: "Father!"
Cao Deng said: "Sit down."
After Cao Gui sat down, he said: "Father, the paper used by my son is gone. Moreover, the writing brush used to practice calligraphy is bald and cannot continue to write. In addition, my son has finished reading the books at home. Can I buy some more today? When I passed by the bookstore, I saw a new book by Mr. Cao Qisheng and wanted to buy it and read it."
He was still a little nervous when he spoke.
The situation at home is not very optimistic. After all, Cao Deng has never been an official, and now he makes some money by teaching.
Cao Gui himself wanted to find something to do.
But Cao Deng wouldn¡¯t let it go.
It is to let Cao Gui study at home and study hard so that he can become a talent in the future.
There is nothing Cao Gui can do.
When Cao Deng heard what his son said, he said, "We won't be so poor in the future. In the future, you will have countless pieces of paper to write articles on, and you can buy them back in piles. If you want to buy books, just buy them."
Cao Gui said: "Father, does it have something to do with Mi Huang? Did he come to ask you to do something?"
Cao Deng looked at his son's simple clothes, which were even a little thin, and said, "You have suffered a lot these years because, father, you suffered a lot when you were a child."
Cao Gui said: "My son doesn't have to work hard. His father is here, his mother is here, and the family is in harmony. This is already good."
Cao Deng said: "The person who came with Mi Huang just now is Wang Qi, the Prime Minister of Langya Kingdom. He has now taken charge of Donghai County and appointed me as the prefect of Donghai County."
"If you have something to do, you will have a salary, and you will have no problem studying."
"You study hard, and when my father's government affairs are formalized, I will get my salary, change your clothes, and then prepare. After the spring, you will go to Nanyang Academy to study."
Cao Deng said: "Father believes that you can definitely get ahead and be better than my father."
Cao Gui said: "A son listens to his father."
At this moment, Cao Gui felt happy in his heart. His family was no longer poor and could live a good life. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
