Chapter 550

"Dong --!"

With bursts of morning bells, it sounded slowly in the dark depths of the palace.

On Chang'an Street, two lanterns were lit at the door of each official's house at the moment when the clock rang.

Fast horses or sedan chairs were ready at the door of the house early, waiting for the dazed officials trotting in robes to get on the horse, or sedan chairs, and then ran to the rosefinch gate.

As soon as they entered the rosefinch bridge, there were basically no people in the square market on the bridge. Even if there were people, there were few new tricks in the baked things. They basically ate and vomited. However, the smell of barbecue still made the empty officials buy a bamboo beer, get some big chicken legs, and eat and drink while walking.

When I got to the door of the xuanzheng hall, my stomach was full.

Once you enter the xuanzheng hall.

All the officials were startled by Li Shimin sitting on the Dragon chair.

Seeing Li Shimin in a daze, the people closed their mouths, buried their heads and stood in their own position waiting.

If the emperor can do this, everyone will be clear-minded.

It's all the plague of locusts.

Although the emperor used magic to control the plague of locusts, the plague of locusts was stopped, but there was really no food.

If it weren't for the shopkeeper of a tavern in Tonghui square.

by the way.

Zhang Feng.

And the most officials are thunderous about the name.

I got the emperor's edict in person, and was given to the viscount. What kind of University was opened, and it was at the same level as the Imperial College!

what is it?

People don't understand.

I can't understand the way.

But I know that this person is highly valued by the emperor.

After all the officials arrived, xiaoguizi said something in Li Shimin's ear and shouted at the top of his voice, "go up! All the officials kneel!"

"Long live the emperor!"

"Give me a seat!"

Li Shimin waved.

"Today I don't want to hear the memorials of where to ask for food. What I want to hear is that where the victims have been treated, where the disaster has been solved, or whether the food on the other side of Henan road has been delivered. As for other things, I don't discuss today!"

Li Shimin immediately interrupted everyone's thoughts.

However, although it is said so, they can see from the constipation on their faces that they have already figured out the Countermeasures in today's morning.

But Li Shimin didn't give them a chance.

"I know that the grain from Henan Province will arrive in Chang'an in half a month. The Minister of agriculture, let's talk about whether the grain stored in Chang'an Treasury can last for half a month?"

"This..."

"Back to the emperor, Chang'an and the surrounding areas of Chang'an, coupled with the influx of refugees in recent days, the total is less than 100000, but the difference is not far, and the grain storage in Chang'an Treasury is only 70000 stones. Coupled with the daily sharp rise in grain prices in recent days, it has caused panic to the people of Chang'an..."

"Therefore, I feel that these 70000 stones can only last for less than ten days!"

"Ten days!"

Although Li Shimin knew it, he couldn't help sinking when he heard it again.

But on second thought, if I also used Zhang Feng's method to make porridge, if everyone could control their diet every day, would it last for 15 days?

After thinking

Li Shimin couldn't help shaking his head.

It's simple to say, but when you really think about it, it's absolutely impossible.

How much time will it take to concentrate the people of the whole city? And if we do so, will it not be tantamount to announcing the food shortage in the world?

So

Li Shimin sighed and said, "the queen has reduced all the expenses in the palace to the minimum because of this. Even I eat porridge every day, just to get through the food shortage as soon as possible."

"But my strength is too small, so I know that each of you has at least dozens of mu of land, at most tens of thousands of mu... Alas!"

Li Shimin stopped at the right time.

But why don't people understand the emperor?

I've saved money, and I'm drinking porridge every meal. Just do it!

What about them?

They also have a large family to support!

What about this?

"Emperor, the old minister is willing to donate thirty stones of grain to help the victims!"

"The old minister donated fifty stones."

"Old minister, one hundred and fifty loads!"

"Old minister, three hundred stones!"

Beginning with Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Cheng Yaojin and others spoke one after another.

Why don't they know what the emperor means?

They all knew about Zhang Feng last night. They expected that the emperor would make a difference this morning.

I didn't think so. They really guessed it.

Seeing Cheng Yaojin and others, they all spoke.

The little noble son quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the servant's inner province is willing to donate all the balance, a total of 320 stones of grain!"

"Good!"

"Good!"

Li Shimin looked at the little noble son with appreciation.

I glanced at the ministers.

That doesn't have to be said.

Eunuchs can donate so much. What about you?

Little noble son said so, can the ministers still sit still?

They are ashamed!

"Although I don't have much heaven and earth, and I have been hit by disasters, I am willing to take out half of the grain stored at home, a total of 57 stones..."

"The old minister donated thirty stones!"

"Old minister..."
