Several people were stunned and speechless.

No one has said this, it’s just that everyone is used to thinking so. If you can get the same result at the smallest cost, why should you pay such a high price?

Bai Shan seemed to know what they were thinking, saying: "Building roads and building water conservancy is not the result, making it valuable, benefiting the people is the result. So our final result is to benefit the people, and in the process of implementation, we

Why should we go against our 'desired results' again?"

Several people suddenly realized, only Yin You looked calm, "But other counties don't have this ability, or they think these materials can do more things instead of putting them on the servants."

Bai Shan glanced at him approvingly, "So if we want to unify service standards across the world, we not only need everyone's consent and enactment of laws, but also a lot of resources."

He said: "With limited land and an increasing population, there is only one way to get enough resources."

"Increase yield," Bai Shan looked at Yin You with a deep look and then looked at the fields in the distance of the official road. "Seeds, tools, farming methods, and fertilizer production, these can all affect the yield of food."

Only when there is enough food in the world can they use people to do more things. Bai Shan has realized that people cannot be tied to the land, otherwise they will not be able to do many things.

For example, when building a dock, half of the people building the dock in Longchi were selected from long-term workers from other places, and the rest were recruited from the local area.

Now is the slack time for farming, so there are still many people working in Longchi, but when spring comes next year, when preparations for spring plowing begin, more than half of the people will be gone.

Because they need to go back to cultivate the land.

So he had to find a way to bring people out of the land so that he and officials like him in the world could be used.

He couldn't talk to Mr. Cui, the Prime Minister of Fang County, about this kind of thing, so he only mentioned it once and then changed the subject. He smiled with Bai Erlang and said, "So when we were young, we were very simple and took many things for granted."

"We thought that the laborers were hard-working, and each of them didn't have much food to eat. They would work more efficiently if they were well fed. We wondered why County Magistrate Fu didn't treat them better?" Bai Shan laughed at himself, "At that time, we were still working hard.

I swear, when I grow up, if I have the ability to see His Majesty, I will have a serious talk about this matter."

But after meeting the emperor, there were always more important things than this. When nothing happened, Bai Shan could think more and knew that this matter could not be solved by "complaining".

Saying it out loud is just to attract people's attention and make people think that you are too impetuous and naive.

It wasn't until he became the county magistrate that Bai Shan did this on his own and got the data he wanted. Only then did he have the confidence to talk to the emperor about treating his servants well.

But this only brings this matter to the forefront. If we want to imagine what they thought when they were young, the soldiers will no longer be afraid to serve. They will not be injured or killed, hungry, frozen, or exhausted when they serve...

There are enough meals to eat, warm clothes to wear, reasonable working time and intensity, and medical treatment when you are sick...

There is still a long way to go before we can achieve this. When Bai Shan raised his head, he could see the sunset reflecting on the horizon. He couldn't help but smile and said to Bai Erlang: "Although the things I thought about when I was a child are indeed naive, now that we are here

I can’t do it now, but I still hope that in the future I can keep my original intention in mind and keep going.”

He reached out and patted Bai Erlang and asked him, "What about you?"

Bai Erlang, who was addicted to reading miscellaneous books and writing storybooks, finally remembered the disastrous experience in his childhood. He said with tears in his eyes: "Then when Mingda gives birth to a child, your Majesty and I will become county magistrates?"

Seeing the aggrieved look on his face, Bai Shan couldn't help but choked, "You can be the one you want to be. If you don't want to be the one, I won't force you. Why are you so reluctant?"

Bai Erlang: "I think you're right. We didn't do everything we wanted to do when we were young. Even now, I don't think what we thought when we were young was wrong. But, can I be a good county magistrate?

?And I don’t seem to want to be a county magistrate.”

"But if you don't let it out, how can I achieve those things? I can't help you just in the Hanlin Academy."

Bai Shan slapped him hard on the shoulder and said, "Who said I can't help you in the Hanlin Academy? The storybook His Majesty asked you to write is, I'm afraid, no, it's the Miscellaneous Notes of Immortals. Have you finished it?"

He winked and said, "If this miscellany is written, it might be more useful than when Zhou Man and I go to the countryside every day."

Bai Erlang held back his tears and said, "I have written a lot. Do you want to read it? I will show you the manuscript later."

He paused and then said: "But you and Zhou Man are only allowed to read it and are not allowed to change it. Mingda has read it and said that my writing is excellent."

Bai Shan raised his heart and looked at him suspiciously, "How did you write it? Was it written by a god?"

Bai Erlang looked at him sideways and said coldly, "Wenquxing and Taibaixing. They were a pair when they were in the sky, and they became a pair when they came down to earth. Do you think it's a coincidence or not?"

Bai Shan felt even worse in his heart, and was about to drag the person into the woods to force a confession. Yin You, who had been silent all the time, suddenly asked, "Why did you think so much when you were children?"

Bai Shan felt that they were normal. He thought about them when he met them. Moreover, his teacher had assigned homework. Isn't it normal for students to complete the homework assigned by their teacher?

Seeing that Yin You was so surprised, he asked: "Then what were you thinking about when you were a child? I feel that we are quite normal. These are all lessons assigned by the teacher."

Yin or he thought deeply, is he really abnormal?

Yes, he is different from ordinary children, so Yin You nodded and said, "It's because I'm so rare."

He asked Bai Shan and Bai Erlang for their forgiveness, and explained: "When I was a child, I studied with my husband by myself. Occasionally, it is normal for me to be sick and not see my husband for a month or two. Maybe my husband did not have time to assign these lessons to me."

He said: "What I thought about most when I was a child was the matter between life and death."

On the side, Mr. Fang Xiancheng and Mr. Cui were frozen into two stones. They sat motionless with expressionless faces, but they were complaining happily in their hearts. How is this normal?

No one on either side is normal. Who didn't think about eating, drinking and having fun when they were young? The biggest worry should also be studying, right?

What are the rights of slaves, what is life and death? Who thought about such issues as a child?

Mr. Cui stiffly twisted his neck to look at Fang Xian Cheng, so is this the reason why the two of them never passed the Jinshi and Mingjing examinations?

Fang Xian Cheng turned his eyes away silently, not wanting to be classified in the same category as Mr. Cui, even though when he was a child, he also thought about eating, drinking, having fun and worrying about studying.

Bai Shan already sighed and said, "You think much more profoundly than we do. I only think about things between life and death when I am about to enter the capital."

Yin You asked him, "Have you thought clearly?
