Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

This move came so suddenly that everyone didn't react. After Li Yi got up, the officials realized what Li Yi had just done, and their faces were full of surprise.

With Li Yi's current status, basically no one is worthy of asking him to salute, which is usually just a matter of being polite, raising his hand, and nodding, but today Li Yi actually saluted a few craftsmen, which is too much. It's unbelievable.

No one dared to question that Li Yi's brain was broken, so Li Yi could only think that these craftsmen were worthy of this gift, or that the iron lump was worthy of his gift.

As a result, everyone couldn't help turning their attention to the steam engine that was still leaking.

"What is Xianghou doing?"

"It's really frustrating for me to wait."

"The grassroots are terrified!"

……

At this time, those craftsmen finally realized that they were about to bow down to Li Yi with a look of panic, but Li Yi helped him up again.

Li Yi's attitude was very gentle, and he said slowly: "I asked you to make this thing, which is of great significance, and it can even benefit the next thousand or ten thousand years. With this merit, you are worthy of my gift."

The gray-haired old craftsman shook his head again and again and said: "The idea is all from Xianghou and his wife. The status of the old and the little one is low, but they just moved their hands. How can they dare to claim the slightest credit?"

"I said that you have meritorious service, that is meritorious service!"

Li Yi directly affirmed strongly, and then continued: "You also know the workshops for clothes and bedding outside. Have the people behind me seen it? I just promised that in the future, the profits there will be shared with them every year. This will be the case for thousands of years and generations to come, but now, I will add another group of people, that is you, as long as you perfect this steam engine, the dividends there will also have your share in the future, and it will also benefit Thousands of generations!"

The officials behind Li Yi were once again shocked by Li Yi's actions, and the weight of what Li Yi called a steam engine was once again raised in their hearts.

Although some of the craftsmen still didn't quite understand Li Yi's meaning, they could probably understand that they got a very big benefit, which was the same benefit as those big shots.

The craftsmen were trembling with excitement, their eyes were red. The old craftsman clenched his wrinkled fists, sucked his nose, and said through gritted teeth, "Don't worry, Lord Xiang. Let the Marquis Xiang and his wife down!"

Li Yi nodded, patted the old craftsman on the shoulder, and said: "Don't forget what I once said, to do this kind of thing, you need to be bold and careful, don't rush for quick success, let alone act recklessly, be serious, and be careful." Be down-to-earth, just take it step by step, I can see all your hard work and hard work!"

"Here! Little old man, remember!"

The old craftsman's face was full of emotion, and his eyes became more and more burning. It was obvious that he was going to fight for the steam engine business all his life.

Li Yi nodded slightly, but secretly felt ashamed in his heart, feeling that his actions were a little too dark.

The significance of these craftsmen being able to make the steam engine can be said to be epoch-making. Although the original idea was given by Li Yi, these craftsmen also made great contributions. According to later generations, no matter how dark the capitalists are, they will more or less Give some shares.

But Li Yi didn't mention it, and sent them away with the dividends of a garment factory with no technical content, and these people were grateful.

Even the dividends of the garment workshops are pitted. Although it is an iron rice bowl, this bowl will gradually become smaller.

For his old team, Li Yi has feelings, and is really willing to take care of their children and grandchildren, and even lenient them in certain things.

For example, in history, Xu Chu's son was chopped off by Zhong Hui's grandson because of a trivial matter, but as long as Li Yi is there, as long as the descendants of his heroes don't deliberately die, that kind of thing is basically impossible to happen.

But how long can a person's relationship last?

Li Yi can already clearly feel that his lifespan is very long. Slowly, the imprints of the heroes in the past will disappear, and it will be nothing more than fighting for their backs. forget.

At the same time, Li Yi will continue to promote new available people, give them benefits, pour water into the current cake, dilute it, and when the cake can no longer last, he will simply discard it, replace it with a new cake, and feed another batch Newcomers, eliminate those who are useless and have been abolished.

In short, both the cake and the cutter are in Li Yi's hands, and those who can be fed by him will always be useful to him.

Condemning his character secretly in his heart, Li Yi said to Huang Yueying: "Just wait here a moment, I will talk to them outside."

After giving the order, Li Yi looked at those female guards whom he had worked hard to search, or who were trained by himself, and asked them to protect Huang Yueying, and then left the small courtyard with many officials, and found a gazebo outside to sit. Down, looking at everyone with a smile.

After a while, until everyone was a little uncomfortable being seen by Li Yi, he slowly asked: "Today I invite you to come here, talk about money, and shut up about money. Everything you talk about is related to interests. Tell me, Isn’t that a bit too philistine?”

Everyone was stunned, and instinctively wanted to deny it. After all, which one is bored, dare to say that Li Yi is a swindler?

Moreover, although Li Yi often talks about money, he is not stingy. He spends money lavishly, spending most of his income on people's livelihood, the army, and workshops.

Could this be considered a philistine?

It's just that they don't know how to help Li Yi deny it for a while, because Li Yi is indeed greedy when it comes to money.

For example, the betrothal gift Li Yi gave to the Ma family, [-] catties of white paper, looks very powerful, but people who know the cost secretly complain, thinking that Li Yi picked up a big girl for nothing.

Seeing that no one was flattering him, Li Yi snorted feigned displeasure, and then continued: "Thanks to my good intentions, do you know how many of the things I saw today were prepared for you?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces quickly showed joy, and then someone couldn't help but ask: "Could it be that my lord is saying that these are the same as before?"

Chapter 749 Contradictions

Yinghu reminds you: ask for collection () after reading, and it is more convenient to read again.

Li Yi squinted at the person who spoke, and said in a bad mood: "The previous ones were given for nothing, and such a beautiful thing is only once. What I want to say now is all in exchange for credit."

At the end, Li Yi added: "After defeating Hebei, I will use credit for it!"

Hearing this, the man's face was embarrassing, but there was a hint of joy in his eyes. The others reacted similarly to him, because Li Yi made it clear that he would become emperor after defeating Hebei, and then he would seal all the officials!

As if realizing that his intentions were too obvious, Li Yi couldn't help laughing, but he had a thicker skin, and he wasn't embarrassed, and he pretended that he hadn't said anything in the blink of an eye.

With a light cough, to remind everyone to come back to their senses, Li Yi said: "This is a big event. It concerns the country, the country, your future, and the future of the people in the world. Although there is still time to arrange it calmly, I don't want to May it be sloppy, so, instead of rushing in the future, it is better to put it on the agenda early, let everyone go through the details together, and find a safe strategy."

Everyone saluted in unison, expressing that everything was according to Li Yi's arrangement, but everyone knew that the so-called reference was really just reference, and the framework in Li Yi's heart must have been established.

Regarding this, everyone was just curious and didn't have any worries, because seeing Li Yi's performance, no one thought that Li Yi was a person who suppressed heroes, or even cut flesh from heroes.

"military adviser!"

Sure enough, Li Yi didn't let everyone discuss, but directly clicked on Kuai Yue, and said, "Before talking about it, I have a question to ask the military adviser first."

"Don't dare, please tell the Lord!"

Kuai Yue came out immediately, with a respectful attitude.

Li Yi squinted his eyes and muttered, and said slowly: "As a military officer is knowledgeable, do you know how many thousands of households can be accommodated by the vast territory of the Han Dynasty?"

Kuai Yue's resourcefulness is definitely superior, and he also has the ability to adapt to changes, but he couldn't help being a little dazed after hearing Li Yi's question.

The others also looked strange, wondering why Li Yi would ask such a question, could it be that Li Yi planned to seal a bunch of Wanhuhou out?

Some people shook their heads subconsciously. Although everyone wants to be a prince of ten thousand households, they still have a clear understanding of their own weight. In the end, only a few people are qualified to compete.

Kuai Yue frowned lightly. Although he is often an image of being outspoken and dare to speak out, it is really difficult to answer this question directly. After deliberating for a while, he said: "Gaozu pacified the world, and there are three princes in ten thousand households."

Li Yi shook his head immediately, and said, "Three people are too few, how about thirty? The military adviser thinks this country may be able to accommodate it?"

"hiss"

As soon as Li Yi finished speaking, there was a sound of air-conditioning from the crowd.
