It was unusually quiet in the Divine Dragon Hall of Taiji Palace late at night.
The ministers were all waiting for Li Shimin's thunderous rage.
He had no choice.
They couldn't stock up on food.
Unless you, Li Shimin, admit your mistake and borrow food from the Seven Sects and Five Families.
But that was impossible.
Now, you want us to borrow grain, but you're not allowed to borrow from the seven sects and five families. How can we borrow?
He couldn't borrow it.
Everyone was very straightforward and consciously waited for Li Shiming to lash out at them.
Li Shi Min looked at the ministers in disdain.
He laughed coldly in his heart.
Do you really think that no one in this world can solve something that you can't solve?
"How's the grain loan coming along?" he asked faintly.”
Wei Zheng stepped forward and stretched his neck. He said bluntly," Your Majesty, there have been two consecutive months of heavy rain in Chang 'an. All the merchants are hoarding grain and waiting for the right price to sell. It is difficult to borrow grain, not to mention that this rainstorm will last for an unknown period of time.”
"Even if we can borrow food for seven or eight days, what about after that? What should we do after that?"
"The food supply is insufficient, and everything is just empty talk.”
Wei Zheng was already very direct.
He was just short of asking Li Shimin to borrow food from the Seven Sects and Five Families.
According to the current situation, only the Seven Sects and Five Families could release food to resolve this food crisis.
Wei Zheng said.
All the ministers pretended to be deep in thought and then echoed Wei Zheng's words.
Only Fang Xuanling was like an old monk, calmly drawing.
Du Ruhui was curious and asked Fang Xuanling quietly,""Old Fang, you are usually the most active in your speech and strategy. Why aren't you speaking today?”
Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and said indifferently,""Because…this crisis has been resolved.”
" What?!"
Du Ruhui cried out.
On the other side, everyone was passionately agreeing with Wei Zheng and the other ministers. When they heard this very discordant shout, they all turned their heads to look at Du Ruhui.
"Old Fang! Tell me clearly, what crisis has been resolved?”
"What crisis?" Fang Xuanling asked with a smile. What danger could there be? Food shortage crisis!"
F * ck!
At this moment, Du Ruhui was stunned, as if he had been immobilized.
"Don't make a fuss," he said dryly.”
Fang Xuanling was still calm and collected. He looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle." Do I look like I'm joking? If this method to resolve the crisis comes out, you will definitely be shocked!”
He shook his head as if he was looking at a group of useless people and ministers.
"If you don't have the ability, then don't talk nonsense. Watch and learn. Do you know?"
F * ck.
This Fang Xuanling didn't seem to be joking.
To resolve this crisis without borrowing food from the Seven Sects and Five Families?
Awesome!
As expected of the Great Tang's number one strategist!
If this crisis was resolved, Fang Xuanling's victory would be assured.
In His Majesty's heart, the final stroke was the number one!
Before the crowd started to compliment Fang Xuanling.
"You're not even as good as a little kid. Aren't you ashamed?" Fang Xuanling said calmly.”
Hmm?
What did he mean?
A moment later, Du Ruhui reacted.
His eyes were filled with shock and his body trembled with excitement."Old…Old Fang, you…don't tell me that you're not the one who solved this crisis?”
"If I told you that the one who solved this crisis was a fifteen-year-old kid, would you believe me?" Fang Xuanling nodded.”
F * ck!
Silence!
The ministers were petrified.
Then, his face turned red.
Embarrassed.
"How did you solve it?" Du Ruhui was burning with anxiety. What method? Don't keep me in suspense!"
Du Ruhui was good at making decisions and had a rather impatient personality.
Fang Xuanling shook his head and looked at Li Shiming.
Immediately, all the ministers turned to look at Li Shi Min.
Li Shimin coughed for a moment and said,"This child is also the Saint Child…Cough, let me keep you in suspense."”
The ministers were speechless.
Your sister!
"According to this kid's plan, I still need a batch of food." Li Shi Min continued. Therefore, you don't need to raise too much for me. 500,000 dan of grain is enough!”
500,000 dans of grain.
It was absolutely a drop in the bucket for this disaster.
To put it bluntly.
As long as the stall in Chang 'an was slightly bigger, it could take out 500,000 dan.
Little did he know that the people from the Wannian County Chamber of Commerce could store 200,000 stones at home.
The ministers were even more surprised.
500,000 dans of food was only enough to extend his life for seven or eight days.
After seven or eight days, would His Majesty Li Er have a way to raise more food?
The ministers were still skeptical.
However, seeing how confident Second Emperor Li and Fang Xuanling were.
Everyone felt a little more at ease.
Raising 500,000 dans of grain was neither difficult nor easy.
Wei Zheng was currently hosting a charity fund-raising event.
As long as there were a few big families in Chang 'an who were willing to donate, this matter could be easily completed.
……
Late at night.
The ministers dispersed.
Wei Zheng's residence.
The lights in Wei Zheng's study were still flickering.
A moment later.
Shuyi, the daughter of Wei, came over leisurely.
Wei Shuyi wore a light blue skirt and a light yellow top. She was born with a beauty that would make the moon shy and flowers shy. She was modest and polite.
At this time, Wei Zheng's second daughter, Wei Shuyi, had already reached adulthood.
He had also reached the age of marriage.
Wei Zheng had prepared for Wei Shuyi's marriage many times.
Wei Shuyi was patient, but she really couldn't convince Wei Zheng. That was why she put on the " Three Stars of the Sun and Moon " at the Wei family's spice shop.
He even told Wei Zheng that as long as the Langjun of the Great Tang could match this couplet, he would be able to use it.
She, Wei Shuyi, would marry!
It was just a pity.
Tang Langjun was disappointing.
"Father, you've been preparing to donate food these days. Did anyone donate?”Shu Yi asked softly.
Wei Zheng covered his forehead, shook his head, and sighed."I contacted a group of big families, but none of them saw me. When did this group of lowly merchants become so rampant?”
She was the most talented woman in Chang 'an and even the Tang Empire.
Wei Shuyi smiled faintly.
"Father, merchants seek profit. It's useless for you to talk nicely with them.”
Wei Zheng's eyes widened.”
Wei Shuyi smiled faintly." Seize their lifeline. Don't merchants just want to gain fame or get an official position? If you are good at business, you will be an official. Why don't you contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and let these merchants take up an official position for those who are active in this donation?”
Wei Zheng listened.
His face was flushed red with anger.
"Bullsh * t! What right did merchants have to be officials? The Great Tang Imperial Court was not so lowly!”
Shu Yi's watery eyes darted around as she said,"Father, I didn't ask you to really let them become officials. But if they were given this opportunity, wouldn't the merchants of the Great Tang not be able to take the examination? If you give them a quota and they can pass, they will become officials. In this way, the imperial court can be considered to have absorbed talented people.”
"If you can't pass the exam, you won't be hired.”
Wei Zheng's eyes lit up.
This second daughter was truly intelligent.
He really did not know who in this world would be taken in by this second daughter.
Worry.
But at this moment.
A little loli rushed over." Miss, Miss, it's correct. Your couplet has been broken."”
F * ck!
Wei Zheng and Wei Shuyi were both stunned.
