"Owner, the person with the surname something from yesterday is here again. He wants to exchange things." Song De jogged over.
He was happy to make money. He made a lot of soy sauce last time, and then fireworks, lighter alcohol, soap, glycerin, toilet water …
Zhuangzi's granaries were built one after another. Cloth houses were also built one after another. The copper coins were piled up there and almost rusted.
Just like that, the owner did not put in much effort and earned it in a very simple manner.
When spring came, Zhuangzi's cows and horses would be able to plow all the land in one day at most.
He might have to lend it to others, otherwise it would be a waste.
"Go and arrange it. Give them some … tea and soy sauce according to what they did yesterday." Li Yi did not want to deal with them.
Song De turned and ran. He just came over to ask how to trade and what to give.
"Uncle, let's go to Zhang's village and have a look." Empress Wang pointed to the village. She was afraid that those people would see her and His Majesty.
Li Yi did not care. It was the same wherever they went.
So they left, avoiding the people of the Western Turkic Dynasty.
"Brother Yi, did you give them more benefits?" Li Longji still asked casually.
"No. If I gave them benefits just because they submitted to the Tang dynasty, wouldn't it show that the people of the Tang dynasty are inferior to outsiders?
They bought more, so I gave them a discount. I won't please others. If I treat others well, what will I do to my own people? "
Li Yi shook his head and said. He did not have any special treatment in his heart.
He then explained, "But I don't bully them. It's narrow-minded to bully them. Since they all submitted to the Tang dynasty, I'll trade with them normally.
Otherwise, I can still cheat them. Instead of cheating people who submitted to the Tang dynasty, it's better to cheat people who are against the Tang dynasty. "
Li Yi was clear about kindness and hatred.
"Aren't you afraid that they will rebel?" Li Longji said something depressing. There were many Turkic and Tubo tribes.
Today they leaned to one side, tomorrow they leaned to the other side.
"Whether they rebel or not depends on whether the Tang dynasty is strong or not. It can't provide them with protection or a better life. It's human nature for them to be caught in the middle and try to survive."
Li Yi spoke of an immutable truth. Establishing diplomatic relations with you today, breaking it tomorrow, and establishing diplomatic relations again the day after. Isn't that normal?
"How can we prevent them from rebelling?" Li Longji asked.
"Give them a good life and let them realize that they have nothing to worry about by relying on the Tang dynasty. Naturally, they won't rebel.
The first was military support. The Tang dynasty needed a flexible army to meet the enemy and retaliate at any time.
Another thing was trade. Trade itself was not bullying, but exchanging what one needed for what one lacked.
I asked them to plant cotton, and when the time comes, the Tang dynasty will use what they need to exchange for it.
He also taught them how to degrease wool and other seeds.
Slowly, they will find that the best place to sell their crops is the Tang dynasty. "
Li Yi told him frankly. The economy between countries depended on each other. The foreigners were passive and had to rely on the Tang dynasty.
As Li Longji listened and thought, his eyes narrowed.
When he saw the Zhang village, he said, "If they rebel, cut off their economic relations."
"Yes!" Li Yi said one word.
"Dongzhu is here."
"It's Li Dongzhu."
"Dongzhu, what are we going to do in spring after the New Year?"
"Dongzhu, I heard that you're going to build a house for us by the river."
Before they arrived at the Zhang village, the migrant workers greeted Li Yi one after another.
Li Yi had no choice but to stop.
Li Longji secretly gritted his teeth. "I'm asking about the national policy. Why are you making such a fuss over such a trivial matter?"
Everyone gathered around and looked at Li Yi eagerly.
Li Yi gestured to the left and right and said, "First of all, we must maintain the economic development as the center and solve the practical needs of the people such as rice bags and vegetable baskets.
Stabilize the current settlement and strengthen the cooperation and mutual promotion of the three industries.
Perfect the integration of the material and spiritual civilization of the people, vigorously promote positive energy, guide … "
"Li Dongzhu, speak human language. No, I mean, speak human language that we can understand." A migrant worker shouted.
The others nodded. "Yes, speak human language."
"Okay, okay, let's change the way." Li Yi readily agreed.
"Well, well, this year, you have work to do now. Don't be anxious. It's easy to fill your stomach. It's also not difficult to have meat for every meal.
When the weather warms up, Zhuangzi has some work for you to do. Then, we will build houses by the river. You all live there and don't run around.
I heard that someone behind my back said that I want to take your money. Nonsense. I have more money than I can spend.
If anyone dares to say that again, I will break their legs and not treat them. I'm not trying to scare anyone.
What I mean is that when you build houses, you should plant some flowers in the spring. Different flowers will bloom in all four seasons.
Look at Zhang's village. Many tourists go there to play and make money. If others can make money, we can also make money, right? "
Li Yi did not use the policy guidance that he habitually said. He used the real thing.
The people who gathered around liked to hear this. Yes, this is human language. What did you say before?
"Everyone, don't be afraid. Zhuangzi has a lot of work to do. You guys are not enough. We still have to count on the newcomers."
Li Yi said again to be at ease. He would not chase people away. There were places and jobs.
Thus, everyone happily dispersed. Li Yi thought he saw a few people being dragged away by more people, shouting, "I was wrong, don't hit me" or something like that.
"Don't hit people until they are sick, and don't kill them," Li Yi emphasized.
"Got it, Dongzhu. We don't fight," someone replied.
"I guarantee that those who were beaten are those who said bad things about me. They deserve it. Thank me. Otherwise, they might really get sick."
Li Yi muttered and continued to move forward.
"Uncle, you are so good to them, but they are still spreading rumors about you behind your back." Empress Wang was not happy.
"Sister-in-law, you misunderstood. Those people might not be saying that I am not good. They are afraid of losing the good life now. They want everyone to ask me.
Those who stood up and asked me directly did things in an upright manner. Those who instigated me behind the scenes did things carefully.
When using people, the former should be upright, while the latter should be strange.
If everyone in Zhuangzi was upright, I would be finished as Zhuangzi.
For example, find tourists. The former can treat people well and make people happy. As for the latter, let them go out to attract tourists. They will do their best to invite people to play. "
Li Yi analyzed for his sister-in-law from another angle. Those people were not necessarily bad people.
He said, "There is no distinction between good and bad people. They only have the ability to affect their own interests.
Some people are full of righteousness and call them law enforcers.
Some people are good at monopolizing and call them public relations.
Making the best use of people is the way of a ruler. Zhuge Liang said that being close to a gentleman and staying away from a villain is the way to destroy a country. "
"Thank you, Uncle." Empress Wang was enlightened at this moment. So this was how to use people.
Li Longji nodded. Brother Yi's words are to my heart. That is how I do it.
It's just that no one has said it so clearly to me. There is no one in the world that can not be used. It only depends on how to use them.
