"Your Majesty, the Five Families are deeply rooted in the Great Tang. We cannot act rashly.”
"That's right. The Five Families played a major role in the establishment of the Great Tang. If we burn the bridge now, I fear that the Five Families will take the opportunity to rebel.”
Hearing that Li Shi Min wanted to destroy the five families, all the officials were shocked.
One had to know that the five surnames played a huge role in Li Yuan becoming the emperor.
If Li Shi Min were to act against the five families now, he would definitely force them to betray him.
Li Shi Min knew that all the civil and military officials were afraid of the five families.
Although he wanted to exterminate the five families, the time was not ripe yet.
"Let's put this matter aside for now. Now, tell me what to do."”
All the officials lowered their heads again.
If they knew what to do, they would have said it long ago.
"Your Majesty, why don't we go find someone? Perhaps he has a way.”
Zhangsun Wuji suddenly said.
"Who are you looking for?"
Zhangsun Wuji said," Little Abbey Dean, he said that there would be a flood. Now it has come true. Since he knows that there will be a flood, he might know how to solve the food problem."”
Li Shi Min's eyes narrowed.
That's right. Since his son knew that there would be a flood, he might have a solution.
"Hmph, the problem now is very obvious. There's no food, so it's useless to look for anyone other than the aristocratic families.”
Wei Zheng said coldly. He did not believe that a mere Daoist like Qin Yun could resolve Chang 'an's food shortage.
Seeing Wei Zheng looking down on his son, Li Shimin was a little angry.
"Wei Qing's family doesn't believe that the young abbey dean can find a solution?”
" Your Majesty," Wei Zheng said," unless he can provide enough food, he will not be able to solve the crisis in Chang 'an Fortress."”
"Is that so? Then zhen would like to give it a try."
Li Shimin knew Qin Yun's talent very well.
He believed that he would definitely be able to find a solution by looking for Qin Yun.
After the morning court session, Li Shimin left Chang 'an with Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui.
As Chang 'an was surrounded by the flood, the four of them spent several hours before arriving at Qin Yun's White Cloud Monastery.
In the White Cloud Temple, because it was still raining, there were very few people who came to seek medical treatment.
At that moment, Qin Yun was roasting meat in the hall.
"Little Abbey Dean."
At this moment, a voice sounded from outside the door.
Qin Yun looked up.
He saw four figures holding umbrellas and walking towards the hall.
Qin Yun only recognized Li Shimin, Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui when they approached.
Because the rain was heavy, even though the four of them held umbrellas, their clothes were still wet.
"Your Majesty, the rain is so heavy, why are you still out of the palace?”
" We don't want to come out either," Zhangsun Wuji said." But we've encountered a very tricky matter. We might need to ask you."”
Qin Yun extended his hand." Come in first. Sit down and talk."”
When the four of them arrived in the hall, they widened their eyes when they saw Qin Yun roasting the meat.
" Oh my god, the people of Chang 'an and even many people in the imperial court can't even eat now. How can you still have barbecue to eat?"”
"Yeah, it's too extravagant."
"You must be joking. When did the people of Chang 'an City live so miserably?”
Ever since Qin Yun returned to the Daoist temple, he did not leave the mountain much.
Therefore, he did not know that Chang 'an Fortress had been surrounded by floods.
" Your Majesty," Zhangsun Wuji looked at Li Shimin and said," it seems that the young abbey dean still doesn't know that Chang 'an is surrounded by the flood."”
Li Shimin looked at Qin Yun and said," You were right. Chang 'an is really flooded. Now, the citizens are short of food. They are surrounding the government every day.”
"I have also tried to find a way to raise food, but it was impossible to do so. The food in the surrounding provinces and counties has already been bought by the Cui family.”
"That's right. The Cui family tried to use the grain to get His Majesty to reduce the grain tax for fifty years, but His Majesty didn't agree."”
Qin Yun looked at them and said," So that's the case. Is that why you came to find me? Is it because of the food?”
"That's right. I think since you know that there will be a flood, you should know how to solve the food problem."”
Qin Yun said with a smile," I originally wanted to make a fortune in silence. Since you've come looking for me, I'll give you some food. Is fifty thousand, no, a hundred thousand enough?”
Li Shi Min and the other three widened their eyes.
"What did you say? You want to give us 100,000 dan of grain?”
Qin Yun nodded." That's right. Do you think it's too little?”
"No, where did you get so much food?”
Qin Yun said," I previously obtained some seeds. Later, I handed them over to the villagers at the foot of the mountain to plant. Now, their annual production is hundreds of thousands of dan.”
"In order to repay me, they will give me some food every year. Now, the food in my Taoist temple is estimated to be hundreds of thousands of dan!”
"Hundreds of thousands of dan?"
Li Shi Min and the other three widened their eyes.
If it was before the flood, they could still buy hundreds of thousands of tons of grain.
But now, the price of grain in Chang 'an had increased from a few coins per bushel to 70 to 80 coins per bushel.
It could be said that rice was more expensive than gold.
Now that Qin Yun had suddenly said that he would give them a hundred thousand dan of grain, they were naturally alarmed.
