Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Each beggar brought more branches to the best of his ability, and these branches...almost all met the conditions that the cooking squad leader brought out, at least 1.7 meters in length, relatively straight.

There were a few beggars who were stronger and younger, and they carried a large bundle. One of them was very tall, but he carried a lot.

As for many little beggars, they didn't take much, but everyone took as much as possible.

Even some children who are too young to drag a branch are trying to drag some small branches.

The cooking monitors didn't show anything when they looked at this, but they felt quite emotional in their hearts.

They all thought of a sentence that the political commissar said before.

Your kindness to others is like a piece of candy, once you eat it, there is nothing left, and the aftertaste will soon be forgotten.But if you cause harm to others, it is like a scar. Even if the wound heals, it will leave a permanent scar that cannot heal.

This is human nature.

These beggars have countless scars, so they don't understand the value of sugar until they eat it.

Even some of the more ferocious among these beggars are like this, of course, their ferocity may not be a disguise.

After all, in this era, as long as there is a choice, no one wants to be a beggar.

"Thank you, everyone. I just need to trouble you to put the things here. Later, we will hire people to insert them into the ground to fence this place, so we need more branches. Please help as much as you can every day."

"However, because this job is relatively easy, we don't give much treatment, three meals a day, and we are full." A cooking squad leader said with a smile.

He didn't show any other emotions from the beginning to the end, as if they were just a group of ordinary people, but these beggars were silent, because for them... In the eyes of others, they are all beggars.

Even if you pass by them, you have to take a few quick steps with your nose covered, let alone talk to them on an equal footing.

More importantly, the other party didn't mention any leftovers, but directly said to take care of the food.

It seems that there is no difference, but in fact, it means that they are working to support themselves with their own efforts, instead of... picking up garbage and leftovers.

The difference between this is too great.

These beggars naturally agreed one after another.No one knew what they were thinking, but after lunch and when the branches were delivered for dinner, the cooking monitors discovered that most of these beggars went to the river to take a bath.

Although their clothes were still worn out and even stained, they were much cleaner than before.

Even if there are some damaged places, try to use some cloth strips, weeds and the like to wrap them up.

And the hair and facial expressions had obviously been washed, and the hair was randomly tied with wood and tied into a bun.

The smell on your body has dissipated much more than before. If you knew they were beggars when you saw them before, now when you see them, you will think more of them are refugees than beggars.

The two sides maintained a tacit understanding, but as Xue Rengui said, no one pays attention to these beggars, no one cares, their sense of existence is very weak, but it does not mean that they have no influence.

They all changed silently by themselves, and naturally countless people nearby noticed these beggars, and also noticed the changes in them, and more importantly, they noticed the attitude and practices of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty towards these beggars.

They don't understand the truth, but they can empathize with it.

In fact, most of the people are kind-hearted. Those adult beggars are okay, and those beggars usually want to help, but sometimes they themselves have a hard time.

If I give them food, maybe my own child will be hungry, so I can only refuse with a hard heart.

But it doesn't mean that they can really turn a blind eye with a calm face in their hearts, because they are very clear about how these beggars were born, many of them are refugees, fleeing from famine and other reasons.

Put yourself in their shoes and think about it, if they encountered such a situation, they would also want someone to treat them like soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.

Then again, the soldiers of Datang could treat these beggars with such courtesy and keep what they said, let alone treat them?

Therefore, more and more people came to sign up, and they kept calling for friends. More and more people joined here. Many people around Jincheng heard that they were working here, and they all came here.

When the situation in Silla was on the right track, at this moment in Chang'an, Li Ke was looking at Li Shimin in front of him in a daze.

"Father, what do you mean by this?" Li Ke was a little speechless.

"It's nothing interesting. With your current title and status, there is no room for rewards, but you can't really not reward you. The achievements you have made in the past this year are too great."

"It's unreasonable not to offer rewards, because it's not only related to you, but also to other ministers who have made great contributions in the Tang Dynasty. If you don't want to award rewards at all, how can these ministers, generals and the like, have the face to ask for rewards?"

"So, no matter what the reason is, you have to receive a reward, and I also understand your character. You are not interested in any title or official position, so I can only reward you with some land."

"I know you like to play. The land is assigned to you for free. You can build your own villa. Don't you just like to build villas in various places? I heard that your Qinwangzhuang in those places in Guangzhou are well built. .”

"Go ahead, satisfy your own ideas, you will have a place to go when you want to go shopping in the future, and you can also make a contribution to the local area, as you said yourself, if you spend money to hire people to work, it will be good for the local area " Li Shimin said lightly.

Li Ke: "..."

He was a little speechless, so that was the case.

But think about it, what Li Shimin said is also reasonable, sometimes the rules are the rules, you can't just because you don't lack these three melons and two dates, you don't want it.

Because you don’t want it. Some people want it, but you are above them. If you don’t want it, they can’t open their hands.

If things go on like this, they are all complaints, and it may even cause deep conflicts.

So Li Ke nodded helplessly and said: "That's all right, my son will take it. Father, you can reward whatever you want."

"In this way, the best location at the foot of Wuyue Mountain will reward you with a thousand acres of land, and you can build it yourself. Do you think there is any place left?" Li Shimin looked at Li Ke and asked.

Li Ke: "..."

Fortunately, you just gave me a thousand acres of land at the foot of Mount Wuyue, instead of allocating all of the Five Sacred Mountains to me.

"It's all five mountains, otherwise you would include Huangshan, Lushan, and Fanjingshan." Li Ke said helplessly.

"Oh? I know about Huangshan and Lushan. Where is Fanjingshan?" Li Shimin asked curiously.
