"What do you mean by keeping your hair? Tell me. "Li Longji's voice sounded at the door.
Zhang Xiaobao was very helpless. He didn't close the door now because if he did, Li Longji would put his ear against the door to listen.
Therefore, in order to prevent his ears from hurting, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't close the door. Anyway, they didn't do anything during the day, so they weren't afraid of being seen.
Therefore, Li Longji got rid of his bad habit of leaning against the door to eavesdrop. At least he didn't have to worry about his ears turning red when he touched something.
Of course, every time he appeared, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan would know. Even on flat ground, Zhang Xiaobao's ears were useful, let alone on a boat. Unless Li Longji had a half-meter thick cushion under his feet, it was impossible for Zhang Xiaobao not to hear.
"Do you want people to shave their hair like nuns and monks?" Li Longji didn't feel that his appearance was too abrupt and continued to speak. "Not necessarily.
People who do a lot of work cut their hair short. Otherwise, it would affect their work. It's so awkward to have it coiled on the head. Sometimes, beauty doesn't lie in the hair. It's fine for women to keep it long, but it's better for men to cut it short. It's not worth it to work hard on your hair every day. "
Zhang Xiaobao took over the conversation. In fact, he knew that women didn't need to keep their hair long. But nowadays, when people evaluated beauty, the style of hair was very important. Moreover, he liked women with long hair. He believed that many men also liked women with long hair.
Li Longji really didn't expect that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were discussing this issue. He was very puzzled and said, "Actually, you don't need to wash your hair every day. Just put it in the bun and tidy it up when you get up in the morning. If you cut it, it'll look very ugly."
"It doesn't matter if it's coiled up, but isn't the hygiene condition not good now? There are lice and scorpions, and it's easy to spread diseases. The new news is that many children in Dengzhou have fallen ill. It doesn't seem like a big deal, it's just a bug.
However, as time passed, the person would become thin and would not have much energy. This would have a great impact on the child's growth and development. Some people might even die. It was not easy for any family to raise a child. If a child died at the age of ten or seven, just the heartache would not be able to recover in a short period of time.
We can't always think that life and death are inevitable. We can't just consider the number of people who died this year as compared to last year. Then, we will feel that we have improved.
But this year's population is 100 million, and last year's population was 95 million. If we can't be high and mighty and use numbers to measure society, then what kind of emperor are you? "
The more Zhang Xiaobao spoke, the angrier he got. This was because he thought of what had happened between him and Wang Juan. It was as if everything was just data, and everyone in the country was just an ordinary existence in the numbers.
For example, how many people died in various disasters, and how much money was invested in disaster relief. Was there a need for others to explain? This was especially so for industrial disasters, mining disasters, and medical disasters.
They could actually determine the range of deaths. It was as if if the people who died were within the range, then it would be fine. But if the people who died were outside the range, then they would be dealt with severely.
But what about every family? Can they accept this kind of data ratio? If it was really calculated like this, then if there was only one child in the family, and he died, then what was the loss to the family? It was 100%. 100% was not data, but the loss of a person in life.
"Xiao Bao, aren't we looking at data now? Sometimes, there are many helpless situations in life. When soldiers are training, there are also casualties. You said that you like to see animals do that. If a zebra was eaten by a lion, then don't tell me other zebras don't live?"
Wang Juan could feel Zhang Xiaobao's emotions and knew what he was thinking. But sometimes, there were some things that made people helpless. Sitting in that position, there were many fetters.
At that moment, Zhang Xiaobao was very stubborn. He said angrily, "The data doesn't matter, but what we want now is not to pursue profits or an increase in the GNP. What we want is the survival rate of people.
Even if your local government pays me a billion strings of cash a year, I won't allow you to kill people according to this ratio. What do you mean by helpless? If you're incompetent, then say that you're incompetent. Why are you saying that you're helpless? If you spend all your energy on climbing up, then of course you're helpless about the people's livelihood.
When you sit in that position, then you start complaining, 'It's not easy for me either.' Is it easy to sit in that position? Why don't you give in when you're fighting for the position? If you let others sit in it easily, won't they have the energy to care about the people's livelihood?
Isn't it because you want to fight for power? After the fight, you still have to check and balance. Then, just say that you're selfish. Don't f * cking say that you're selfless and f * cking president … "
"Xiao Bao, Her Majesty is talking to you. What president?" Wang Juan glared at him.
In fact, she also agreed with what Zhang Xiaobao said. Of course, people were for themselves and their families, including her family. All the selfless words were to deceive the stupid people Zhang Xiaobao said. But people were like this. They were a complicated species. Even if it were someone else, it would still be the same. She felt that Zhang Xiaobao was idealizing people.
"President … Manager, book … knife and pen, okay? Your Majesty, what did you just say?" Zhang Xiaobao took two deep breaths and asked.
Li Longji knew that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't seem to be so peaceful, but he didn't understand the hint in their words. He coughed softly and said, "I … I just said that cutting short hair doesn't look good, right?"
"Ah, this? It's my fault. I thought too much. That … about hair. In fact, short hair is also beautiful. My family is going to launch a new shampoo. Any man with short hair will be given a set. One for himself, the other for his wife or his mother.
Tonight, I'll find a few men in the inner courtyard and help them cut their hair. Then tomorrow, Your Majesty, you can see if they have to be like monks. To be honest, I don't like the monk's hairstyle.
It's just that when they came here, there were more diseases in their place, so they cut their hair and didn't eat beef. When they came here, they didn't eat meat. In fact, there's no need for that.
Buddhism talks about the six realms of reincarnation. Sometimes, killing is also to help animals enter the human path. Yes, the human path is not the human path, nor is it the Infernal Path. People say that it's pure and clean, but it has nothing to do with shaving their hair.
There are many people who don't have hair, but their hearts are not pure. They always think too much about utilitarian things. I'll cut a few hairstyles. Your Majesty, take a look and decide which one you think is good. Let the working people of the Tang Empire try their best to learn. "
Zhang Xiaobao realized that he had thought too far. To be precise, the scope of the connection was too wide. It was better to return to the problem of hair.
Li Longji was confused. When he came here, he was talking about the problem of growing his hair. Why did it become a mess when it came to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan?
When he heard Zhang Xiaobao's words, Li Longji nodded in confusion. He said, "There's also smallpox. You've done well in the past few years. The number of people who contracted smallpox has decreased, but you can't relax. You have to persevere. I've learned from the intelligence system that when people in the other countries contracted smallpox, they died in large numbers. There were no survivors in the entire village."
Li Longji was very satisfied with this. When he thought about it, everything seemed to have started after Zhang Zhong came to Lu Zhou. At that time, Xiao Bao and Cuckoo were the same age as Little Bei and the others now.
This made him think that children of this age, according to the education of the two experts, were at the beginning of their lives. It seemed that after Zhang Zhong came to Lu Zhou, the speed of Tang Empire's development suddenly increased.
If it was not because of their age, could it be that the emperor was far away? If that was the case, as the emperor, he seemed to have to bear some responsibility. He should have asked them to stay away from him. Perhaps, they were developing faster now.
Zhang Xiaobao glanced at Wang Juan before he lowered his head to make tea. Wang Juan knew Zhang Xiaobao was agitated again.
She could not understand why Zhang Xiaobao would be so emotional when it came to this topic. Could it be related to his life experience?
When she saw Zhang Xiaobao beginning to adjust his emotions, Wang Juan said, "Your Majesty, smallpox is actually nothing. After some time, tuberculosis can also be cured. Now that you have tuberculosis, you'll definitely die. In the future, if you want to die, you won't die unless the person is willing to die.
The medical school's research has reached the final stage. When the medicine is ready, Xiao Bao and I will come up with a strategy of free treatment and subsidies. Even if you have tuberculosis, you don't have to spend the money for treatment. During the treatment, we'll also compensate them for the money they need for their normal work.
This is because some families are most afraid of not having enough money to treat their main labor force when they get sick. Now that many diseases are treated for free, they are most afraid of not having a source of income.
So, I've discussed it with Xiao Bao. The treatment period is not long. Not all diseases have to be treated for many years. We'll compensate them for their living expenses. This way, they will take the initiative to come for treatment. "
Li Longji thought for a moment and said, "Alright, we'll do as you say. I don't care about money. In any case, with Xiao Bao around, how much can I spend if I want to? Also, you have to pay attention to malaria. I can take care of money.
Every time I think of people losing their lives because of money, I feel that I am not qualified to be an Emperor. It's just like the primitive society in the past. Could it be that the leader of a tribe, just because someone in his tribe didn't hunt more prey, would watch that person slowly die after he was injured without doing anything?
I believe that no tribe leader would do this. He might not be able to keep up with medical science or technology, but he would definitely think of a way to save this person.
Because of various conditions, it's helpless that he can't be saved. However, the conditions in the Tang Empire now are already good. If someone who should have survived with such technology dies in the end because the Emperor doesn't care, then what's the point of being an Emperor? "
Wang Juan was taken aback. She carefully sized up Li Longji and solemnly nodded. "Your Majesty, don't worry. In the Tang Empire, no one dares to compete with you for the position, not even the Crown Prince. As long as he shows the slightest intention, Xiao Bao and I will wipe out him and his forces.
You can be an Emperor. Not to mention that when you're on the throne, all the people in the Tang Empire won't have any problems. As long as you have a clear conscience, you can focus all your energy on the people.
You can maintain this heart. As for other things, Xiao Bao and I will take care of them. This is the first time I've found that an Imperial Country is so good. With a good Emperor, the people only need to listen to the Emperor. It's so simple. "
"What Imperial Country?" Li Longji found that he had come into contact with a lot of things today and couldn't understand them for a while.
"Nothing, Your Majesty. You can go and try the Tower Candy. The people on the ship just made it for children. Try it and see if it's sweet."
Zhang Xiaobao took over and smiled at Li Longji.
"You two." Li Longji truly didn't know what to say. He felt very comfortable because Wang Juan's words just now had been very clear. He didn't need to worry about whether his position as Emperor could be taken away by others.
Just as he had thought, Xiao Bao and Cuckoo didn't want to be Emperor, but they liked to treat the Tang Empire as their own. If he cooperated with them, they would protect him.
It was very confusing. They clearly had the power to be Emperor, so why didn't they want to be? Instead, they were willing to stay below and do things. Of course, they weren't above everyone else. He understood that they didn't fear him at all. It seemed that they had been like this since they were very young.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this that they didn't want to be Emperor. In their eyes, imperial power was truly insignificant.
Li Longji really couldn't measure Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan with his own thoughts. He shook his head, walked outside, and said, "Don't be too tired. Kill whoever stops you. Don't you need to consider my opinion? Don't you know me?"
Li Longji's words made Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan absent-minded for a moment. His words were too clear. He meant that even if it was a King or a Prince, as long as they felt that they were in the way, they could kill them. Yes, didn't they know Li Longji?
How did he get to the throne? How did he treat the former meritorious officials after he got to the throne? He was also very cold-blooded. It was only because he met the two of them that he changed. However, some of the characteristics in his blood wouldn't change.
Zhang Xiaobao opened his mouth and was about to speak when someone from the inner courtyard rushed in, almost bumping into Li Longji. The inner courtyard didn't care about this. Once he came in, he spoke to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.
"Young Master, Young Lady, there's news from Young Lady Xiaobei's side. She successfully instigated Hu Liang and the other eight people, but she discovered that the person with the fake name of Shan Feng was making a black substance into smoke. If he didn't inhale it, he would feel uncomfortable. Young Master, Young Lady, please make a decision.
Because when she was giving it to a man to smoke, she asked him questions. In order to be able to smoke, that man would answer anything. He also said that there were many people over there who smoked black substances. After smoking it, they felt comfortable. "
"Ah? Black substance? Does it become soft when roasted over fire? Is it usually very hard and bitter when eaten? "Zhang Xiaobao asked with wide eyes.
Wang Juan also became nervous and said, "As far as I know, there are very few people who take the initiative to smoke and can quit at any time. Xiao Bao, you seem to be one of them, right?"
