Only by ensuring sufficient food could the population maintain a normal growth. The cultivated land was divided according to the people, allowing the Beiliang army to conquer the four directions.
Without strong logistics, how could they support a hundred thousand cavalry in battle?
When Li Rui returned to the Prince Liang's residence, the sky had just turned dark. Wang Zhaojun's cooking skills were pretty good. Lu Shaofeng wolfed down his food, and the little girl's mouth was full of oil.
The refugees were no different from fleeing from famine, let alone this pair of young siblings. If it wasn't for Li Rui's help back then, they would have starved to death on the road.
After eating and drinking to their hearts 'content, Li Rui agreed to let the siblings stay and work in the residence in the future.
Yang Yuhuan was a little embarrassed as she was pulled into the bedroom by Li Rui. She had been delayed by the Tubo people attacking the Great Tang, so she could not afford to delay the night.
Li Rui undressed Yang Yuhuan…
The next morning.
Cao Cao hummed,"Where is Zilong?"”
"Haha!"
Zhao Zilong was expressionless. If Cao Cao were to instigate Zhao Yun to ruin his lord's plans, Zhao Yun would be beaten up by Li Rui.
Early in the morning, Gao Lishi came to visit and asked in a panic,"Where is Prince Liang?"
"What are you doing?" Dian Wei's gaze was unfriendly.
Gao Lishi smiled bitterly." The Sage summoned the Prince of Liang into the palace. Yesterday, did your Northern Liang Army massacre the entire Wan Clan of Wannian County?"”
Before he could explain.
Li Rui had already tidied up his clothes and left the house. What a handsome young man. He wasn't holding the Overlord Spear today. Instead, he was holding a paper fan that Wang Zhaojun had prepared. There was a beautiful painting of mountains and rivers on it.
Zhao Yun was stunned for a long time, and so was Dian Wei.
" Why are you all looking at me?" Li Rui asked in puzzlement." Is there something wrong with me?"”
Cao Cao laughed." My lord is always wearing armor and holding a spear. He is cold and stern. He beats up treacherous officials and kills Tibetan elites. I never thought that my lord would be so handsome in white and holding a folding fan!”
"Stop flattering me and enter the palace!" Li Rui said angrily.”
In today's court meeting, the Imperial Censor took the lead and severely impeached Li Rui, saying that the Northern Liang Army had massacred wantonly and slaughtered more than a hundred people from the great clans and Wan families ten thousand years ago. This had angered the Sage and he felt that Li Rui was pampered and lawless, allowing the Northern Liang Army to kill ordinary people!
"Minister Lin, what do you think of this?" Li Longji asked with a dark face.”
Lin Jiulang said with a smile," Prince Liang is young and in a high position. He has an elite army like the Northern Liang Army in his hands. He has just made a great contribution and is known as the War God of the Great Tang. However, he is still young. It is easy for him to lose himself in the glory.”
The words of this old thief were indeed vicious. Every time, he would openly praise and secretly harm Li Rui.
"How do you think we should deal with this matter?" Li Longji asked again.”
Lin Jiulang said in a clear voice," The Sage has the intention of making the Prince of Liang the Crown Prince. He should make preparations in advance. He should invite a famous teacher to teach the Prince of Liang etiquette, remove the Northern Liang Army, and disperse his hanger-ons!”
Gao Lishi had just arrived at the palace door when he heard Lin Jiulang's nonsense, and the corners of his mouth twitched. Why did this Senior Prime Minister only remember to eat but not to be beaten!
He even provoked the little devil. Was he really not afraid of being beaten to death by him?
Li Rui rode his Snow-treading Dark Stallion straight into the hall, knocking the forest four to five meters away and breaking several ribs of the eunuch beside him.
The hall was filled with screams and the neighing of horses.
Li Longji was so angry that his lungs hurt. He said angrily,""Who let you ride in again?"
"Riding a horse is faster than walking. As soon as I entered the door, I heard someone sowing discord. They want my Northern Liang Army.”
Li Rui's white robe was as white as snow. He pointed his folding fan at Lin Jiulang and questioned.
Lin Jiulang was so angry that his entire body was trembling. His old injuries had yet to recover, and he was beaten up by Li Rui again today.
No one in the court could control this little demon king. Li Longji would not touch Li Rui, and no one would touch the Prince of Liang who was skilled in both literature and martial arts.
Shi Zuo cupped his hands." Sage, what the Right Prime Minister said is not without reason!”
" Alright," Li Longji retorted in annoyance." Rui 'er, come forward. I want to ask you what's going on with the Wan family in Wannian County.”
"Old man, how old are you today?”Li Rui suddenly asked.
Li Longji pulled a long face while Gao Lishi smiled obsequiously."The Sage is fifty-two years old this year and is in his prime.”
"It's none of your business.”
Li Rui's words drove Gao Lishi away, and he said,""Fifty-Two is really old and muddle-headed. If you have time, go down and take a look. Now that the number of refugees in the Great Tang has increased, I'm in charge of Wannian County to gather the refugees and settle their land.”
"But the Wan clan dominated a region and forcibly occupied ten plots of land that had just been sown. They injured and killed more than ten people of the Great Tang. I witnessed it with my own eyes.”
Li Rui spoke the truth frankly.
Li Longji glared at him in anger." Nonsense! Everyone lived and worked in peace and contentment in my Kaiyuan Era. Food was abundant. How could there be so many refugees?!"”
"If you continue to be a demon for another two years, I guarantee that the number of refugees will increase by several times!”Li Rui knew that the old man had more than three thousand concubines in his harem. There were more than forty thousand of them!
