Chapter 1801 Recognition

As far as the truth is concerned, Du Ruhui is trying to do this. He knows very well that he doesn't know how many people he will offend when he says this, but now he has to say it.

You know, his health is getting worse every day, and he may not be able to hold on one day, so he would rather offend others than sell this favor to Li Chengqian in order to get the care of His Majesty of a certain emperor.

After Li Chengqian experienced Wei Zheng's incident, he had already understood what these old guys really thought. This made him sigh that while the hero was old, he had to bite the bullet and learn what "family, country, and world" was once again.

But what can he say about this? At present, these things are obviously beneficial to him. If he insists on overcorrecting the mistake, he will have to lose the heart of the people and a group of subordinates will abandon him.

Finally, he knew the difficulties of the old man at the beginning, why did he have such a weird expression when he mentioned the old man that "family, country, and world" several times.

It turns out that the old man disdained to argue with him at that time. Now Li Chengqian can understand his strange gaze, which means "stand and speak without pain in his back."

All this is slow, but it is actually just a matter of thought. Just after Du Ruhui finished speaking, Li Chengqian actually recognized his suggestion, so he nodded and said, "What Mr. Du said is reasonable, and this matter should be handled in this way."

"Your Majesty is wise!" Du Ruhui responded with a smile, only his old partner Fang Xuanling looked at him with regret.

However, Li Chengqian ignored this and clapped his hands and said, "Then let's discuss how many people each family needs to retain. In addition, the farms run by the court seem to be able to accept them. Those farms are basically retired soldiers, either injured or old. They can have a place to talk together."

"Your Majesty's wise!" This time it was said by several old guys, although they did not agree with Li Chengqian's opinion very much.

Family generals are a nice title. In fact, to put it bluntly, they are private soldiers and thugs raised by these high-ranking officials and nobles. They usually guard the house and protect the hospital and can do something else at critical moments.

But now, because of Lao Du’s words, these families obviously cannot stay, which means that in the future, their families will no longer have any solutions except to be slaughtered by others when facing imperial power.

Of course, if they don’t want to rebel, the family generals actually don’t have much effect, and they can even be considered a burden to them.

But it is better to have it than not. It is like the speed limit on the road in later generations. There are not so many capture equipment on the road, but in fact, everyone did not speed up when driving. Later, the camera equipment was installed. Although everyone still drove the same as before, they felt uncomfortable and always felt like they were being monitored and not trusted.

So the "sacred wisdom" mentioned by several old men is obviously emotional, but they have to do so due to the situation.

As for Li Chengqian, he didn't care about so much. In his opinion, Lao Du's words made sense and necessary. The separation of the so-called generals from the nobles and large families would still have a certain stabilization effect on the Tang Dynasty's dynasty.

At least in some aspects, local public security will be much better. In addition, if the family members are gone, just like there is no "gun" in their hands, it may also make the nobles restrain themselves.

So some old men were dissatisfied, but he seemed to have not heard it, and waved his hand indifferently: "This matter is settled. Go back to the Ministry of Revenue to do a transcription check, count all the family generals in the noble family, and then arrange them uniformly by the court."

"Here!" Tang Jian took over as Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs again because of some special relationship.

However, because of the conflict with the old man's name, the Ministry of Civil Affairs has been changed to the Ministry of Revenue by Li Chengqian, so he became the legendary Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

"As for the number of servants, you can discuss this if you have time and set a standard for me to report it." Li Chengqian originally planned to settle this matter today, but when he saw a group of old guys all had emotions, he knew that this matter would not be settled today, so he might as well end the discussion simply.

Seeing that Li Chengqian did not continue to force them to make a decision, several old guys were relieved and said in unison: "I will obey the order!"

"Well, this matter is settled for the time being, but I just thought of something, and I still need you to advise me."

"Please speak with your Majesty."

Li Chengqian smacked his lips and tapped his fingers on the table. After thinking for a while, he said, "You are all veterans of two dynasties or three dynasties. The contributions made to the Tang Dynasty are obvious to all."

"Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous." Several old guys were very pleased that Li Chengqian had affirmed their achievements over the past few decades, and they all praised them one by one.

Li Chengqian pressed his hand down, signaling the old men to calm down, and then continued, "So you are the most precious wealth of the Tang Dynasty. For me, each one is a wealth of ten thousand gold, and a hundred thousand gold is not exchanged. But the years are easy to grow old, and the years are ruthless. Today, when I saw Mr. Du's situation, I suddenly felt unbearable!"

"Everyone is watching me grow up, I..."

When Du Ruhui saw that Li Chengqian had brought up the old things again, he felt a little uncomfortable, so he forced himself to say, "Your Majesty! Old minister..., Old minister is ashamed!"

"No, Mr. Du has made great contributions to the country." Li Chengqian shook his head, and said with a resolute look in his eyes: "And not only Mr. Du, but also Mr. Fang, but also you, everyone is a minister who has made great contributions to the country. Therefore, I decided that in the future, all court officials who are over fifty and above the third rank will be charged two stale nursing fees every day, and at the same time, they can enjoy special nursing treatment from the exclusive medical team."

"Your Majesty is kind!" Several old men who were still jealous of Du Ruhui just now smiled, and Old Du also breathed a sigh of relief.

With his cleverness, how could he not know? At the beginning, Li Chengqian's arrangement for the imperial physician to be stationed in the Du Mansion had already attracted everyone's jealousy, but that was the emperor's good intentions, and he could not refuse, so Old Du was thinking about how to find a way to get the young emperor who could make trouble to withdraw this order.

But now it is not necessary, because everyone has this treatment, and no one has to look at others' jealousy.

At the same time, this also represents a recognition from the Tang Dynasty for them. Although none of them missed their income of 60 jin per month, they cared about whether they were recognized, or whether Li Chengqian really cared about them.

So when Li Chengqian gave this order, Lao Du sighed and the others smiled with satisfaction.
