Chapter 450: Teachers and Students
The Wuwei army's camps outside Luzhou City stretch for dozens of miles. In addition to more than 100,000 troops, there are also a large number of logistics and supplies camps and civilian camps. Even if they stand on high places, they cannot see the end of these camps at a glance.
Dozens of large camps formed a barrier to siege Luzhou.
Li Ze's central army camp is located in the center of these camps.
Every day, a large number of civil servants transported a large amount of supplies in. Every day, there were almost the same number of civil servants, pushing wheelbarrows, driving horse, donkey, and ox carts, and leaving these camps continuously.
On Li Ze's desk, documents and documents are always piled up like a mountain. Most of the time every day, Li Ze deals with these copies after major cases. Every time he reads a copy, a clerk will immediately take them away. However, Li Ke, who was sitting on the side, always saw that there were few people taking them out and more people sending them in.
Sometimes he couldn't resist his sleepiness and fell asleep. When he woke up suddenly, he found that Li Ze was still writing at his desk. He was really bored, and occasionally he would take some papers from the desk to read. What surprised him was that he could understand the contents of these papers. At least he understood the literal meaning. He had secretly read the papers on his father's desk before, and he knew all the words, but when he combined them together, he didn't understand.
More importantly, the documents and reports on Li Ze’s desk are not long, unlike the memorials on his father’s desk, which often have thousands of words, making people dizzy and confused after reading them.
Seeing that Li Ke was interested, Li Ze sat upright with a smile, rubbed his temples, picked up a small porcelain bottle from the desk, uncovered the lid, picked out some ointment from it, and applied it to the temples. A strange smell suddenly spread in the big tent.
"This is some refreshing ointment prepared by our medical officer. Do you want to give me some?" Li Ze asked.
Li Ke nodded.
Li Ze picked out some ointment with his little finger, applied it to Li Ke's temple, and smiled and said, "You rub him open yourself!"
As Li Ze looked like, Li Ke gently rubbed his temples, and a cool feeling immediately spread and his spirit was immediately rejuvenated.
"Is it a good thing?" Li Ze smiled and said, "If it weren't for this thing, it would be even harder to stay up late at night."
"What a good thing." Li Ke nodded and echoed: "But Taifu, there are so many memorials on this case, even if you can't sleep well, you can't finish it. Why not wait until tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow and tomorrow, how many tomorrows are there?" Li Ze shook his head: "Today's things will be done today. Because tomorrow, there will be tomorrow's things."
As he spoke, he patted the memorial on the table and said, "It will be almost three o'clock in the morning, and it will be processed."
"But I heard the Grand Tutor explain that early in the morning, I would have to convene a general meeting. Wouldn't it be only two hours to rest? Are all the ceremonial coaches so hard?" Li Ke asked.
"I don't know if others work so hard, but I'm like this almost most of the time!" Li Ze smiled and said, "If you are in your position, you have to do your own thing. If you sit on this chair, you have to take responsibility. Your Highness, do you know how many people there are now under Wuwei's rule?"
Li Ke shook his head.
"Under Wuwei's rule, we cleaned up the Dingkou and measured the land, and all the population was basically cleared. There are more than 3 million people under Wuwei's rule. Every decision of mine is related to whether they can eat enough and wear warm clothes? How dare I slack off? Under Wuwei's rule, there are nearly 200,000 troops. Every decision of mine is related to whether they can move from one victory to another, and whether they can sacrifice as little as possible for the soldiers. How dare I relax at all?"
"Don't the Taifu have so many subordinates? Why not let them share some of the burden? I think Mr. Xue is very idle!" Li Ke said softly.
Li Ze laughed: "I have many subordinates, but they all have their own things to do. The things you see today have been selected. Only those that are important and they are undecided will be sent to me. More parts have been dealt with in the places where Mr. Zhang Hui and Mr. Zhang have been dealt with. You said, Mr. Xue, he is so idle now because he wants to accompany you. If he wants to do things, things can immediately flood him. I have assigned him a job, but he will push you three times and stop him. Your Highness, you have a great face. You can tell him that he is still your East Palace to wash horses!"
Li Ze smiled and patted the document on the desk and said, "If Mr. Xue is willing to work hard, I can still lose one-third of the time."
After hearing this, Li Ke suddenly fell silent.
Although he is still young, he has experienced so many things and has learned a lot of things. Xue Ping refused to leave him, so naturally it was for himself.
But when my father was still in Chang'an, he didn't see him being so busy. It seemed that he could handle all the government affairs in just a little time every day. Why did the Taifu have endless things to do?
"The memorials from the Taifu here are different from those I saw in my father's place! Your here are very short, but they are clear and even students can understand what they are saying? For example, this book means that Shuozhou has suffered a drought this year and is asking for tax reductions and exemptions!" Li Ke quickly turned his mind.
"Your Highness can understand it, which means that the governor of Shuozhou really understands what I mean." Li Ze took the memorial, glanced at it a few times, picked up the pen and commented on it, and put down the pen, and said, "At the beginning, my subordinates were the same as some of His Majesty's ministers. Report a matter, first praise me, and then talked about my hard work, and then quoted the scriptures and rambled a long story, and then talked about the serious matter. After reading it once, it made me dizzy, but it was just a short paragraph in the last part. This made me furious. I read the memorial for half an hour, and it was just a little bit of practical information. It took me half an hour to read the memorial for only a few breaths to read and understand things, but it took me half an hour. Do you think I can't get angry?"
"How did the Taifu deal with it?"
"I summoned everyone, blackened all the useless things in front of his report and threw them in front of him, and then beat him hard." Li Ze said: "From that time, everyone knew what to do."
Li Ke suddenly realized: "Efficiency, this is what the Taifu mentioned in his daytime."
"Your Highness is so smart. You can't spend time on meaningless things." Li Ze nodded and said, "If you have something, just say whatever you want. It's simple and clear. He saves trouble, and I saves more trouble. And the savings of time can help you do more things."
"I understand." Li Ke said.
Li Ze rubbed Li Ke's head and said, "Your Highness, it's getting late. I have been working hard all day long after following me during the day. If I'm tired, I'll go and rest."
"I'm not tired, the Grand Tutor is even more tired than me. Are you still working on things?" Li Ke shook his head stubbornly. "Trior, can I watch these?"
Li Ke pointed to the piles of case files.
Li Ze smiled and hugged the ones he had criticized from the other end, saying, "Your Highness might as well read these. After reading them, let them take them out and distribute them. But just looking at them is not enough. There are government affairs, wealth, personnel, and military affairs, you can watch them. But when you look, you should also think about why I criticize them like this? Some say it is almost the same thing, why do some of them be accurate, and some of them refute? If you don't understand, you can ask me or ask Mr. Xue."
"Okay." Li Ke nodded repeatedly, opened the memorials that Li Ze had approved, and read them carefully one by one.
When the drums were ringing in the second round, Li Ze stretched his waist long and turned his head to look at Li Ke on the side, and couldn't help laughing. The eight-year-old child could not resist sleeping, and was already sleeping soundly.
"Come." He shouted softly.
Someone outside the tent responded to the sound. To Li Ze's surprise, it was actually Xue Ping.
"Shisan Xue!"
"I'll take a look at Your Highness. I just heard the call from Jishou." Xue Ping said.
Li Ze pointed at Li Ke, "Your Highness read the memorial, he was tired and fell asleep."
"I'll take Your Highness to rest." Xue Ping walked over and picked Li Ke up.
"Mr. Xue, you promised me that you would help with things. This is not possible now." Li Ze looked at Xue Ping with a smile. "If you really don't worry about His Royal Highness, you can be the master in my account!"
Xue Ping was silent for a while, but nodded: "Okay."
"That's all, you will start taking office tomorrow." Li Ze laughed and said, "With you, I'll be relieved. Look, I'm afraid that I may not be able to finish the matter today at the fourth update."
Xue Ping stopped talking and walked out with Li Ke in his arms.
Looking at their backs, Li Ze shook his head, then picked up a memorial and looked at it.
When the cool breeze blew, Li Ke woke up, struggled for a moment, but when he opened his eyes, he saw Xue Ping, and then he became quiet.
"Shisan Xue!"
"Your Highness, can you get something today?"
"I learned a lot today." Li Ke whispered: "Mr. Xue, do you think the Grand Tutor is a loyal minister?"
When Li Ke asked this, Xue Ping didn't know how to answer: "I don't know, Your Highness, but there is no doubt that the Grand Tutor is a capable minister."
"Today someone told me quietly that my mother was forced to death by the Grand Tutor, and I must remember this firmly." Li Ke whispered.
Xue Ping was shocked and stopped suddenly: "Who said so to Your Highness?"
"I don't know him. After he said this, he can never find him again."
"Your Highness, if someone tells you this again, you must tell me as soon as possible. Also, such a person will be called to the guards to kill him on the spot as soon as possible." Xue Ping said angrily.
"Mr. Xue, why are you so nervous? Is this a matter not nonsense?"
"Your Highness, I will tell you this matter in a lot in the future." Xue Ping took a deep breath: "Except what I told you, no matter who said the rest, you should not believe it, okay?"
"OK."
