What Li Su wanted to give Laifu to do was to set up a paper mill and a printing factory. The children in the school palace need to use paper to practice calligraphy when they want to write.

And the price of paper in this era is amazingly expensive.

Even the villagers of Wucheng Village, everyone works in the mine, and their families have a small amount of savings.

But they can't afford the paper that students spend on studying.

Reading is really not affordable for poor families.

How could a poor family ever produce a noble son!

Therefore, these papers must be provided by Li Su.

But soon Li Su discovered that in this era, paper is really amazingly expensive.

Although he can't afford it with the income of the glass, he doesn't want to be the wronged leader.

What's more, he also bought the process of papermaking and movable type printing in the system mall.

Next, Li Su was going to prepare to build a paper mill and a printing plant.

Now, because of the last kidnapping, Li Su trusts Zhao Si and Zhao Wu very much.

As long as it is a credible person selected by Zhao Si, Li Su dares to use it boldly.

Therefore, there are many people available to Li Su now.

It's not like before, there are no people around.

Paper mills and printing mills are also in charge of Laifu.

It's just that the backbone personnel this time are all loyal and reliable villagers in Wucheng Village recommended by Zhao Si.

Now, not only Zhao Wu has been reused by the King of Shu.

Even Zhao Si has risen with the tide.

All kinds of talents needed by the King of Shu were all recommended by Zhao Si.

Now Zhao Si has to be treated, and he has three times a month.

This salary, Zhao Si used to save for several years to save so much money.

Zhao Si, who was originally Lizheng, has now reached the peak of his prestige in Wucheng Village.

……

Whether it is the construction of the Zhonghua Academy Palace, the paper mill and the printing factory, for the Tang Dynasty, it is a trivial matter for Chen Sesame and rotten grain.

Recently, the most important thing that has made the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty busy is that spring has been going on for several months, and it is now summer.

But God didn't rain for a long time.

During the spring ploughing, the people carried water from the river and planted the crops.

But because there was no rain, the crops grew poorly.

The reduction in production is definitely going to reduce production.

What's worse now is that until now, there has been no sign of rain.

If it continues to rain for another month, the entire Guanzhong, I am afraid that most areas will be extinct.

When the time comes, I don't know how many people will starve to death.

I don't know how many people will be displaced, sell their sons and daughters, and their families will be ruined.

Even because the people are desperate, there is no way out.

Now the imperial court has paid close attention to the problem of the great drought in Guanzhong.

The imperial court had already begun to hoard grain.

However, the merchants of the family in various places have already learned the news.

Food prices are rising.

Moreover, there is no food to buy now.

And there is not much money left in the balance of the household.

If it doesn't rain for a month, the little money in the treasury won't be enough for disaster relief.

Even if you add your own internal money-

Since he started a business with Jo'er, he has received a large share every month.

During this time, Li Shimin's small life was very nourishing.

Even with it, Concubine Yang is very favored in the palace.

Every month, Li Shimin went to the Hanxiang Hall to rest, and even surpassed the eldest grandson queen.

Although Empress Eldest Sun was a little unhappy, she never showed it.

Who let her although the back of the eldest grandson family.

But even if it is the eldest grandson's family, it is impossible to give His Majesty so much money every month for no reason!

Li Su, this little guy, is really capable!

And let him be proud for a while.

For Li Shimin, the monthly dividends are certainly a lot.

However, if it were to be used for disaster relief, even if it were to be taken out in full, it would not be enough.

Well, what if you let Yu'er take out all his money?

In the past, Li Shimin vaguely felt that it seemed that the dividends given to him by Su'er were a little small.

It's clear that it's good to divide fifty-fifty, but I always feel that he gets a lot less than Su'er.

However, Mr. Bookkeeper had sent it out himself.

And this bookkeeper didn't find the slightest bit of cattiness.

In this way, even if Li Shimin felt that it was inappropriate, he didn't want to say anything.

However, if disaster relief is really needed at that time, let the child take out all the money he earns.

Although it may still not be enough.

But at least it relieves a lot of stress, doesn't it?

I don't know how to solve the remaining gaps.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel irritable.

Next, Li Shimin ordered someone to invite Yuan Tiangang to meet the driver.

Not long after, Yuan Tiangang was called.

"Poor Dao, please see Your Majesty."

Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Get up and speak, Yuan Tiangang, you calculate, when will it rain?" ”

Yuan Tiangang pinched his fingers and counted——

In fact, it has not rained during this time, and Yuan Tiangang has already calculated it.

However, since it was the emperor who asked, he always had to make a show.

After calculating for a while, Yuan Tiangang couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, this year is the year of water control in Kowloon, and the Lord has a great drought. ”

"It may not be until after autumn that there will be a few light rains."

Hearing this, Li Shimin became more and more irritable.

I couldn't help but ask, "Is there no other way?" Can you pray for rain? ”

Yuan Tiangang said in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, praying for rain actually doesn't work!" It rains because there are cumulonimbus clouds and moisture in the sky, so it rains—"

Without waiting for Yuan Tiangang to finish speaking, Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, I don't want to hear you explain so much." Since you can't pray for rain, go down first! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

……

Half a month has passed, and it still hasn't rained.

And in the fields of the crops there was a fire.

The wheat stalks are already half-dry, and a little spark can ignite them.

In the entire Guanzhong, hundreds of people are already desperate.

So far this year, not a single rain has fallen.

This year's crops are going to be extinct.

And the vast majority of people have no surplus food at home.

Next, the whole family will be starved to death.

Even if there is a little surplus food at home, there is not much left, and it must not be enough to eat.

Those young and middle-aged people have already dragged their families and are ready to flee.

The only ones left in the family were the old people, who stayed at home and waited to die.

Everywhere in Guanzhong, there was an air of despair.

The number of people fleeing is increasing day by day.

Every day, people starved to death on the roadside.

Because there is no one to collect, it will rot and stink quickly.

And most of the people who fled the famine fled into Chang'an City.

Others fled into the surrounding state capitals that were not affected.

The state capitals everywhere are like facing a great enemy.

The homeless are terrible.

If one is not handled well, it is very likely that it will cause trouble.

And the twists and turns of asking for help flew into Chang'an City like snowflakes.

In Chang'an City, hundreds of officials suddenly became busy.
