Li Shimin was very pleased.
Especially when he looked at the documents that had been sent back from Chang 'an. It was as if he was looking at a lump of gold that had fallen from the sky.
The rumors had indeed spread from here.
Zhangsun Wuji was very smart when it came to doing things like this. Moreover, he had already done it once. It would be strange if something went wrong again.
Moreover, at this time, everyone had been affected by the locust plague. Everyone had suffered. Who wouldn't want to make money at this time?
The matter of the bone-strengthening powder had been settled. Next up …
"Eh?"
Just as Li Shimin was happily thinking about what to do next, he suddenly saw a different memorial in the pile of documents.
What was different about it?
This memorial was actually sent by Du Ruhui in his personal name!
Was there a need to do this?
Li Shimin looked at the thick memorial and flipped it open curiously.
The words "On Duty Reward and Punishment System" that entered his eyes deeply attracted his attention.
Li Shimin couldn't help but be interested.
The Minister of Personnel had actually used such a method to hand over the memorial. What did this mean?
It was obviously something that could be done by just opening his mouth. That meant …
Looking at the memorial, the joy on Li Shimin's face slowly froze.
"Little Guizi, summon Du Ruhui!"
"Yes!"
Li Shimin's expression turned serious. No wonder he would use such a method to hand over the memorial. If others knew about this, what would it mean?
This would be treason!
Daring to violate the laws of the imperial court was already a violation of the interests of the imperial family. However, Li Shimin knew that if it were an ordinary person, he wouldn't even look at such a thing. He would just wave his hand.
Strike first!
However, Du Ruhui was different.
If he could say it, it meant that this matter was very serious. Moreover, Li Shimin thought about it. There was indeed a problem with the imperial court's system.
Moreover, was this really something that Du Ruhui could come up with?
He didn't believe it. Instead, he saw Zhang Feng's shadow between the lines. Moreover, didn't Du Ruhui go to Zhang Feng's place the day before yesterday?
Thinking of Zhang Feng, Li Shimin's face had a touch of excitement.
A moment later, Du Ruhui hurried into the Imperial Study.
"This old subject Du Ruhui pays respect to Your Majesty!"
"Minister Du, please rise!"
"Hurry up and tell me, what's the deal with this reward and punishment?"
"Replying to Your Majesty! This … is something I came across by chance the day before yesterday! "
Li Shimin pursed his lips.
"Speak human language!"
Du Ruhui said, "Since Your Majesty has seen through it, this was indeed Brother Zhang Feng's idea!"
"Now, because of the locusts, everyone in the imperial court is united. This is a good thing, but the drawbacks of not doing their duty for a long time still exist. Moreover, now everyone is trying to reap benefits. In the long run, who can respect the discipline of the imperial court?"
"So, you discussed with Brother Zhang Feng and came up with this thing?"
Li Shimin sat next to Du Ruhui and drank tea. He glanced at the memorial on the table and said.
"That's right!"
"However, this thing was basically made by this old subject. It was also because of one sentence from Brother Zhang Feng!"
"What sentence?"
Li Shimin was interested.
"He said that these people are temporary workers for you!"
Li Shimin heard this.
He couldn't help but frown.
But the next moment, he couldn't help but ask, "Do you mean that the system of the imperial court should be strictly improved?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. You've seen it before. Everyone is lazy. Although Your Majesty is in favor of spreading the word, you've also seen that the disadvantages are obvious. That is, the people of the Five Families and Seven Nobles, as well as the Guanlong and Shandong nobles, don't do anything for the imperial court!"
"As a result, although there are many people in the imperial court, some of them die of boredom, and some of them die of exhaustion. There are even some who take idle jobs and idle around all day. We couldn't target them before, but now that Your Majesty has taken a side in the matter of the locusts, if we let them go on like this at this time, who in the imperial court wants to do anything for them?"
"I'm worried that if this kind of thing can't be rectified for a long time, the consequences will be unimaginable if everyone in the imperial court imitates it!"
"The big reshuffle this time is an opportunity. That's why when I went to Brother Zhang Feng's place, I was a little depressed, so I went to Brother Zhang Feng to complain. But Brother Zhang Feng thought it was a small matter, so we talked about it."
"It was also under Brother Zhang Feng's guidance that I came up with this reward and punishment system!"
"Although this system is new, it's all simplified and added according to the original laws of the Tang Dynasty!"
As he spoke, Du Ruhui excitedly knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, this old subject knows the consequences of breaking the laws of the Great Tang without permission. Thus, this old subject risks death to request Your Majesty to carry out this decree!"
Li Shimin was speechless.
He personally helped Du Ruhui up and said, "I didn't say anything. I've also seen this. I … "
"Approved!"
