Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

After everyone's eyes turned, Li Ke continued: "In fact, what I want to say for them is also very simple, that is, it is not easy for them, low-level officials. They all say that the superiors open their mouths, and the subordinates break their legs. .”

"It's like me, although I have formulated many good policies for everyone, but in fact I just have a long mouth. It is these officials who really implement them, and these officials are finally distributed down level by level. Those who execute are these low-level officials."

"And many of them are officials for the first time, so here, I hope all the folks, give our low-level officials more tolerance. I know that sometimes they may do wrong things, or even do bad things with good intentions. At that time, some of everyone’s demands could not be met immediately.”

"Please give them some time, give them a little confidence, and let them make progress together with fellow villagers! Of course, what I mean by tolerance is that they work hard, not everything is tolerated. For example, corruption, or If you talk about government-business collusion and other issues, please supervise them together. OK?!"

"Okay!" The crowd around shouted again.

"Then I would like to thank everyone on behalf of many low-level officials." Li Ke smiled and cupped his hands around.

"In addition, there is one last thing I want to ask everyone, that is, if you encounter difficulties, or encounter something that is difficult to solve, you must trust the court and the government, and we will definitely work hard to solve it for you!"

"In the end, everyone must live your life well. I know that everyone believes in me, but I am not a god or omnipotent. Your Highness King Qin is also a person, so if you have anything to do, you must find the local Officials fix the problem."

"Everyone, don't engage in blind worship. It's useless to worship me alone. I can't let everyone live a good life. If it weren't for the wholeheartedness of the Tang court, if it wasn't for the support of my father and elder brother, I wouldn't be able to." It has brought you so many good policies, don’t you think so?”

"So, in the future, everyone can live with peace of mind. The Tang court will definitely work hard to make everyone's life better! This is not only the responsibility of the Tang royal family, but also the responsibility of all officials in the entire Tang court."

"Being an official doesn't make decisions for the people, it's better to go home and sell these potatoes. Do you remember?"

"Remember." Everyone agreed happily.

After chatting with the people in Baicaowan Village, Li Ke continued on the road.

Like other people, after the people in Baicaowan watched Li Ke and the others leave, the people from other villages gathered in the village also gradually returned to their own villages.

Only the people of Baicao Village gathered together.

"Everyone, you have just heard what your Highness said. Your Highness said that we have to trust the court and not engage in blind worship, so it is about the construction of our village ancestral hall and enshrining the Longevity Tablet of His Highness." Zhao Lin hurriedly said while everyone was there. .

"Zhao Lin, Village Chief Zhao, don't forget, the village chiefs of our Datang are all elected now, and you were elected by us, so don't talk about it, Your Highness said not to engage in blind worship, but look at our Are the people in the village blind? We are all sober. This ancestral hall must be built.” A man in his 40s in the village said loudly without saying a word.

"Yes, that is, Tian Zhu is right. Your Highness said not to worship blindly. We are not blind. Besides, everyone in this ancestral hall contributes together. If you don't want to pay, we will give you all the money." Another person followed suit.

"No, I am also a member of our village, how can I not come out, am I answering His Highness' call?" Zhao Lin said helplessly.

"Fart, I see that you, the village head, are not good at learning. Did you not pay attention to the class recently?" Tian Zhu asked loudly.

"Why didn't I pay attention to the class?" Zhao Lin's face turned dark.

"Before, Lao Qiao, a member of the public security army of the Ministry of Security in our township, came to give us a lecture. He also said that our people have faith, the country has strength, and the nation has hope! Lao Qiao said, what is faith? Faith is not a god, it is expensive , but believe in our Great Tang, believe in our Great Tang court! Believe that our Great Tang will do whatever we want! This is faith!"

"Is your highness the prince? Does your highness represent the Tang court? We believe in your highness. Is there a problem? Or you didn't pay attention to the class." Tian Zhu said loudly.

Zhao Lin: "..." Are you sure that old Qiao meant that?

But seeing that everyone obviously disagreed with the cancellation of the construction of the ancestral hall, Zhao Lin naturally knew that the opposition would have no effect, so he did not object.In fact, he doesn't really want to cancel it. Doesn't it mean that he feels that His Highness has said it himself, and that His Highness has just left, so we can't respond to His Highness' call?

"Yes, that is, Zhao Lin, don't worry about that. Let me tell you, His Highness Xin is not much better than those bald donkeys of Faith? Before I moved to Qinghai, there was a businessman in the village next door, and that family was considered The rich households in eight townships all believe in monks.”

"The Buddha's golden body was not less repaired, and the temple was not less repaired. Guess what happened in the end? His son and his family were robbed by the bandits when they went out to visit relatives, and they were all chopped down. The daughter-in-law was ruined by the bandits. , and finally committed suicide by jumping off a cliff.”

"The businessman couldn't figure it out and asked the monk why he believed in the Buddha so much, and the Buddha made him suffer so much."

"Guess what the monk said? The monk said that he was destined to have this calamity, and his fate with the Buddha is not enough. Pooh, that gang of bandits was finally killed by soldiers of our Tang Dynasty during the national bandit suppression operation two years ago. Annihilated."

"So, it is the soldiers of our Tang Dynasty who work, and the monks and the Buddha are the ones who enjoy the worship. I heard that the businessman directly donated all his wealth to the imperial court. The imperial court didn't want it. He finally gave it to the village to build roads. gone."

"You said, we might as well believe His Highness." Another man in the village said loudly.

"Okay, okay, am I asking for everyone's opinions? Everyone agrees to repair it, so I have no objection, so let's repair it and start tomorrow! Try to start repairing it before winter this year!" Zhao Lin said loudly.

"That's right! Your Highness came to see us today. What does that mean? It means that His Highness puts us in his heart. He promised us what he said and did it. If we don't worship such a Highness, who will we worship? Let me tell you, This not only needs to be repaired, but we also need to cultivate better!"

"Yes, I also agree. Our cultivation is better. Anyway, our little bastards from generation to generation will have to offer incense to His Highness, and we must not forget it."

The villagers all shouted, and Zhao Lin didn't have any opinion, so he could fix it as soon as he wanted, and at most it was just a little extra effort.
