"How much more does he know?" Fang Xuanling murmured.
"Even if it's made by myself, I can't waste it like this!”Second Emperor Li was still furious.
"How many commoners are still cooking vinegar cloth to eat? Don't you feel guilty for sprinkling high-quality refined salt on the ground?!”
"Does the magistrate of Lantian County know about this? Why don't you care?"
When the old man saw the two of them being surprised, he said strangely,
"I say, you two are outsiders. Are you out of your mind?”
"The salt was made by my young master, and it is also used by our Li Village. Which law has it violated?”
"According to what you said, do you want us to donate salt to others for free?”
"Our Great Tang has so many commoners, and Young Master is not His Majesty. How can he care about all of them?”
"Besides, eating salt is useful, but sprinkling it on the roof is a waste?”
"Do you know that with this method that Young Master came up with?”
"Since the snow disaster, there have been more than 800 households in Lantian County's Li Village. None of them have ever had their houses collapse under the pressure of the snow!”
"This is all thanks to Young Master!"
"Salt is food for people to eat, but it's for us to save our lives!”
"Not a single household?" Fang Xuanling couldn't help but ask.
"Of course, you can ask around if you don't believe me!”The old man said proudly.
Hearing this, Second Emperor Li's anger came to an abrupt end!
Ever since the snowfall, countless people had died every day from the collapse of their houses.
If it was really as the old man said, Li Yun's measures could be considered appropriate!
At this moment, something magical happened.
The snow on the roofs and roads that had just been sprinkled with salt had begun to melt at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After a while, snow flowed down.
Fang Xuanling and Li Shiming stood there silently for a while.
Then, they looked at each other. The two of them were a little confused!
"Forget it, forget it. We'll talk about it in the future. Let's go back to Chang 'an first!”
Li Shi Min rubbed his head and said.
The sky was almost completely dark, and it was almost midnight.
If he didn't go back now, Vermilion Bird Street would be under curfew!
No matter how many questions he had, he could only ask them next time!
......
Shaking their heads, the two of them continued on their way.
Not long after, he returned to Taiji Palace.
After taking a bath and changing his clothes, Li Shiming changed into a black dragon robe. His aura was even more imposing than before!
"Pass down the order for Duke Zhao and Duke Lai to enter the palace immediately.”
"When they come, we can discuss the Eastern Turks.”
Fang Xuanling nodded.
After a while, Du Ruhui and Zhangsun Wuji rushed over.
"It's the middle of the night. I wonder why His Majesty suddenly summoned me?”Zhangsun Wuji cupped his hands.
"I have a new idea, and I want to hear what you think.”Li Er went straight to the point.
"What do you all think about the heavy snow in Guanzhong this time?”
"Your Majesty, are you thinking about the matter of the self-reproaching edict again?”
"According to this old minister, so be it. All the emperors of the past dynasties have done this.”
"The commoners will only think that Your Majesty cares about the world and is a benevolent ruler. They will not have any other thoughts.”Zhangsun Wuji smiled bitterly.
"I didn't call you here for this.”Li Shi Min shook his head.
"The snow in Guanzhong is even more severe in the Eastern Turks.”
"Do you think we can defeat the Eastern Turks in one go by sending troops north?”
this
In recent days, the court had been discussing disaster relief and the matter of self-reproach.
No one had expected that His Majesty would suddenly have such an idea!
"Your Majesty, you must not!" Du Ruhui said with cold sweat on his forehead.
"During a natural disaster, there are no weapons. This is an ancient saying!”
"The lives of the commoners are already hard enough. If we insist on going to war, I'm afraid it will destroy the foundation of the country!”
"Yes, Your Majesty, please reconsider!" Zhangsun Wuji also knelt on the ground and advised.
"What if I can solve the food problem?”Li Shi Min ignored them and continued.
"Not only can we let the commoners eat, but we can also supply the army to the north!”
"This way, there will be no more worries!”
Ridiculous!
Du Ruhui felt that it was ridiculous at this moment.
Why would the wise Emperor have such an unrealistic idea?
"Your Majesty, according to the statistics of the Ministry of Revenue, the granaries of the various provinces and counties in Guanzhong can only last for less than half a month.”
"Among them, there are some cases where they fill their own pockets and empty their granaries.”
"So the actual situation might be even more serious than this!”
"At this time, if we start fighting again, not only will it delay the production for the next year, but it will also make many people lose their livelihood.”
"There is no grain in the official warehouse, but I know where there is!”Li Shi Min ignored their pleas and said calmly.
" Assistant, I heard that many aristocratic families in Chang 'an have been collecting food from the market recently. Is that true?"”
He looked at Zhangsun Wuji meaningfully and asked.
Zhangsun Wuji instantly felt his forehead begin to sweat, and he could not stand steadily!
His Zhangsun Clan was one of the top aristocratic clans in Guanzhong, so he was naturally involved in this matter.
But how did the Emperor know?!
Kneel to the evaluation votes!
P.S. Normally, during the Zhenguan period, Li Yun should have been addressed as " Dalang ". At that time, there was no such title as Young Master.
But this "Dalang" always reminds me, Dalang, it's time to take my medicine.
It was a little out of character, so I changed it. Everyone will make do with it! There will be more later!
