The fastest update of the Royal Study Room

The left servant of the Shangshu Province, Xiao, and the right servant of the Shangshu Province, were reporting to the emperor.

"Wen Yuan is young and motivated, but he is too impulsive and hasty to do things. This time, this assessment was basically not discussed with us in advance, and it was thrown out at the meeting and then announced the execution. We caught us off guard. Now we have received news that most officials in the province are dissatisfied with this, and the officials believe that the court is going to use scholars to steal their positions, and secretly discussing to strike."

Li Shimin twisted his beard and listened casually.

"Li Chao is really full of fighting spirit, and he will fight with anyone. However, I have seen the reform proposed by Wenyuan. I also plan to wait for the Shangshu Province to implement it well, and then it will be a national policy and promote the world. Why, now all the officials are opposing it?"

"Everyone opposes." The two servants spoke in unison.

"Do you object too?" Li Shimin asked, staring at the two servants.

Xiao and Chen Shuda thought about it, but nodded.

Li Shimin snorted, with a smile on his face.

"Xiao Xiang, Chen Xiang, you two are both prime ministers under the Secretariat, but also the left and right servants of the Secretariat. They are the assistant officials of the Secretariat, and are responsible for assisting and assisting the Secretariat in the Secretariat. Even if you have different opinions on Li Chao's plan, you should make it publicly at his meeting. If the final result of the meeting is to implement the plan, then you should support him unconditionally, instead of not talking at the meeting, but now you come to me to talk about everything. This is not the style of the prime minister."

After a while, the two prime ministers said a little blushed.

The two of them came to sue Li Chao, but they didn't expect that in the end they ate the emperor and fell into trouble.

During lunch.

The emperor, empress and prince had a meal together.

The queen was in good health and had a meal in person today. There were not many dishes, only four dishes and one soup, but the two of them were very happy to eat.

"The food made by my mother is delicious."

Changsun smiled, "The food I cook is definitely not as delicious as your master."

"Li Chao has been a little worried recently." Li Shimin picked up a chopsticks of scallion cake and said.

"What's wrong with Li Xiang?" asked Empress Changsun.

"Li Chao has had a lot of things recently, including the court's two tax laws, a census, and the trial of the new official system in the Shangshu Province, and the preparation for the introduction of the slave protection law. These new policies are not known how many people will be provoked, but one of them is enough to have a headache, but Li Chao has to do several at once, which is a big deal."

"Is Li Xiang too anxious? Is this arousing public anger among the nobles and bureaucrats, I'm afraid it won't end." Empress Changsun said worriedly.

Li Shimin thought for a while and reached out to hold the queen's hand, "The queen is right, I may be a little nervous. I have never been able to grasp such a smart person as Li Chao, and I believe him."

"As long as I unwaveringly support Li Chao, all his good ideas can be realized."

The storm is coming outside, and dark clouds are lying on the city.

But Li Chao acted like no one.

For dinner, Li Chao even cooked himself and cooked fried steak and fried eggs for the whole family.

He even announced that he would provide fish and meat to the servants in the mansion, and announced that he would implement a redemption plan and minimum wage standard in advance in the Li family.

Not only did the slaves give a very good guaranteed salary, but even the servants in the mansion raised the guaranteed standards, Li Chao also allowed the servants and slaves in the mansion to redeem themselves.

As soon as the news came out, the servants in the mansion were very excited.

There were many servants and slaves who signed up to redeem themselves on the spot. The slaves in the Li Mansion were no more than in other mansions. The Li family had already given the slaves wages and allowed them to save money. If they did a good job, they could still get rewards.

Therefore, as long as you don’t spend money randomly, you can save some money. Especially some are slaves from the family, it’s okay to redeem one or two people first.

Everyone asked the mansion to redeem themselves with excitement and expectation, but they registered for them without any embarrassment.

"Okay, the name has been registered. I will ask the servants in the yamen to come and verify the registration tomorrow, and then you will become free people."

"Congratulations!"

The manager of the Li family smiled and said to those expectant people.

Of course, not everyone in this mansion was in a hurry to redeem themselves after hearing the news. Some people were unmoved and even didn't want to redeem themselves.

Some people yearn for freedom and think that freedom is above everything else. But some people think that doing things in the Li Mansion is better, and they can no longer find someone better than the Li Mansion.

In Li's Mansion, I have a stable iron rice bowl and live a comfortable life. I have a stable income from drought and flood. However, if I leave Li's Mansion, wherever I find such a good place, I will be free and become a good citizen, but it also means I have to leave Li's Mansion.

Where are they going? Go to the mines and workshops to work, or go to the border to open up the fields. For many people, this new life is something they are afraid of.

When I got outside, I became a good citizen, and maybe I was not as good as the Li family.

Especially some people who are promoted to the management of duty, their income in the Li family is even higher than that of ordinary good people outside. If they were not the servants of the Li family, how could the mansion feel assured that they hold important management positions?

The reactions of the slaves in the mansion were not beyond Li Chao's expectations.

This is actually expected. Being a good person is not so beautiful. Freedom outside comes at a price.

If freedom is so good, there will be no countless free and good people who will take the initiative to join the landlords and wealthy families as slaves. They will take the initiative to sell themselves as slaves, and even take their own land and wealth to the names of the powerful.

Why?

Because a good citizen, that is, the people of the empire, needs to bear a lot of taxes, labor, etc. If they become slaves of landlords and powerful people, they actually don’t have to bear anything for the court, and even pay rent to the powerful and powerful people far less than that of the court, and they can live a better life.

Even ordinary people are very good at calculating.

Good people and bad people are actually not the most important. Although they may be slaves in the future, for many people, even if they are good people, they are just poor people at the bottom for generations. What kind of official career and officialdom have to do with them?

Such a good boss and such good treatment of the Li family is not enough to make them give up their current comfortable and comfortable life.

Of course, not all families are as good as slaves as the Li family. For many slaves, it is still very attractive to become free people, be able to share land, and become self-cultivated farmers who own a piece of their own land.

"Tell everyone, today I let everyone eat openly, eat whatever they want, the meat is enough, the rice is enough, and the food is enough, and everyone goes back to lie on the bed while digesting food, thinking about it carefully, and there is no need to rush to make a decision. It is not too late to think carefully, but no matter how everyone decides, the Li family and I both expressed our understanding and support!"

As Li Chao's words passed on, the natural atmosphere in the mansion became more and more lively.
