Chapter 904: Compensation, Silence and Fame
Time goes by.
In the villages near Chang'an, Uncle Wu is already a sixty-year-old man near the village.
Although he has two sons, he is not very filial.
In his early years, because he became a soldier of the Tang Dynasty, he went to the battlefield.
The leg was lame, but compared to the other soldiers.
Uncle Wu is quite acceptable, because some brothers have gone to the battlefield and have no chance to come down.
The only reason is that this leg has caused a lot of farm work.
In his early years, his wife had passed away, and his son was not filial.
I lived alone, but I was happy to be idle.
Uncle Wu is most grateful to An Xuangong, otherwise Datang would not know about such a thing as potatoes.
Because after planting potatoes, it is much easier to grow rice than before.
Or even sit in the field and plant slowly.
The yield is not less than that of the previous rice, although the taste of the mashed potatoes is average.
But for Uncle Wu, this is already very good.
At the beginning, it was a problem for him to even have enough to eat, but now it is good to have this.
Every day, you can see the children in the village playing.
Life can be said to be quite leisurely.
"Uncle Wu!"
But just then, a voice came.
Uncle Wu recognized it as the village chief's voice.
"What's the matter, village chief?!"
Uncle Wu couldn't help but show a look of doubt.
At this time, why did the village chief himself early.
But soon the village chief came with several people, among whom was a servant standing at the front.
Even Uncle Wu's face couldn't help but show a look of fear.
After all, in the face of the servants, there is a natural fear.
Even Uncle Wu didn't do anything unfortunate.
"Could it be that those two unangry sons are causing trouble?"
Uncle Wu couldn't help but think of it in his heart.
After all, he didn't do anything himself.
"Uncle Wu, I'm here to find you!"
An old man about the same age as Uncle Wu said loudly.
"Village Chief, are you sure this is really coming for me?!"
Uncle Wu couldn't help but ask a little apprehensively and said out loud.
"That's right, I'm looking for you!"
The village chief said with certainty, he was also curious in his heart why he was looking for this old man Wu.
"Wu Dasheng, I participated in the Tang Dynasty back then, right!"
However, the official quickly gave up his position, and a young man appeared.
"Yes, yes!!"
Uncle Wu naturally didn't dare to hesitate and immediately returned and said.
"It just so happens that this is because you made meritorious contributions to Datang back then, so you subsidized your money."
"It was rescued by Princess Pingyang and several princesses, don't forget it."
The young man didn't talk too much nonsense, and directly took out a bag of money and said loudly.
After the words fell, Uncle Wu was stunned.
It doesn't seem to have expected such a thing.
After waiting for Uncle Wu to react, the young man and the servant had already walked away.
The village chief on the side also reacted, looking at Old Man Wu with envy.
You must know that Old Man Wu is developed, and that bag of money, let alone consistent money.
"Princess Xie Pingyang's reward!"
Old man Wu's face couldn't help but show an excited look, and some eyes were red.
I couldn't help but fall to the ground and kowtow constantly.
I didn't expect anyone to remember me.
In the village, the news about Old Man Wu couldn't help but spread.
The two unfilial sons hurriedly returned with their grandsons.
Some of the same people are also thinking about whether to let their children become soldiers.
You must know that in recent years, the treatment of soldiers has been much better.
Not only do you have a lot of money, but you can also eat well.
It can be said that it is enough to save a lot of expenses.
After all, it is normal for ordinary people to have several children in their families.
I guess this is an indirect effect.
Not just this one village, but many villages.
Chang'an is just the first to have it because of its proximity.
As time goes on, then there will inevitably be more influence.
In the court
Li Shimin is still more curious about relief.
I took a hundred horses to collect some information.
After reading this, I couldn't help but be silent a lot.
Indeed, it is indeed too difficult for these disabled soldiers.
They are unable to work themselves, and many people even die because of food.
There are many regrets and helplessness.
"Give these things to the blue sparrow."
Li Shimin hesitated for a while and said aloud.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Wang De immediately said out loud.
After Li Shimin finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh slightly.
In the past, there were no conditions, after all, I was short of money.
What's more, it's to help these people, but it's not impossible now.
You must know that if this matter is done well, it can win a lot of military hearts.
I know that if I die on the battlefield, there is still some protection.
Then you can work hard for Datang with peace of mind.
The money naturally has to come out of the inner court, and Li Shimin was hesitating about this matter before.
It's not that Li Shimin hasn't thought about it, but he hasn't made up his mind.
It wasn't until I saw some results this time that I couldn't help but have an idea.
But this matter is handed over to Li Tai.
The main thing is to pave the way for his son and accumulate more prestige.
Li Shimin still has a clear understanding of himself.
Because his reputation is of mixed reputation.
Some things are destined to be impossible to wash away, and it is also impossible to forget easily.
Even if you take care of this matter yourself.
There may be some influence for him, to increase some prestige.
But in fact, that's it, it's not the same for the blue finch.
There are many benefits now and in the future.
I'm not afraid that the prince is low-key, but I'm afraid that he won't be high-key.
is undoubtedly Li Shimin's idea, of course, after dealing with his own affairs, he still thinks of his daughter's affairs.
Even Li Shimin didn't expect Hong Huang to have such a high regard for beauty.
And they are all good words, even Li Shimin's heart is slightly sour.
But if it is said that he is actually involved, this matter is still forgotten.
East Palace
After Li Tai received some news about the disabled old soldiers.
is also serious, because this matter obviously has a lot of benefits for Datang.
In addition, after becoming the crown prince, he still has some understanding of the money in the inner court.
Then it will definitely not be less, and investing 100,000 yuan a year is not even a problem.
Even if you only give the old soldier ten cents a year, then it is all a heart.
Naturally, Li Tai also thought about the issue of compensation for the fallen soldiers.
After all, there have been examples in the academy, but they are only a few.
Now it is not a person who cannot be expanded to the entire Tang Dynasty.
In addition to some from the inner court, it is possible to raise some donations through charity sales.
I have to say that Li Tai's thinking is still relatively active and he thinks a lot.
The folds were quickly written down, and this matter was naturally to be done, and it had to be done beautifully.
Just when the court was thinking about this matter.
Chang'an is circulating a piece of news.
That is, the first calligraphy of the charity sale is actually His Majesty's today.
At first, it was just circulating, but then it was clearly said.
Or Li Shimin was exposed unconsciously.
After all, there were not many restrictions before the auction of Linglong Pavilion, and some people might not be able to see it.
Of course, it may be said by Lizhi, which can be regarded as a joke after dinner.
