Chapter 175: Advice!
"Bang Bang!"
Whether it was sincere congratulations or fake flattery, there was still warm applause in the teaching house.
Meng Wenhao clenched his fists, his face flushed with excitement, he did it, he really did it, his day's efforts were not in vain, at this moment he really wanted to look up to the sky and howl.
Ke Shiqing, who was sitting not far from him, glanced at him in surprise, and at the same time a sense of crisis rose in his heart, at present, the water in this school hall is getting deeper and deeper, and it is not easy to get the first place in the exam as before.
Li Tai sat in front and was a little depressed, this method was that he discussed with a few arithmetic masters for a long time before he got such an answer, he was very sure to take the first place, but he didn't expect an accident, but he also appreciated Meng Wenhao's answer, so the unhappiness in his heart quickly disappeared in this warm applause.
Li Zexuan stood in front and looked at Meng Wenhao, feeling a little emotional, he really didn't expect this kid to think of this answer, he really can't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients!
The applause gradually stopped, and Li Zexuan began a new day of lectures. Unlike last time, today's class will have a quarter of an hour break every three quarters of an hour, which makes the students more energetic in class, and the class is more lively than before.
Li Zexuan believes that after a long time, when they get used to this way of classing, then their learning progress will definitely be much faster than before.

Taiji Palace, Ganlu Palace.
After the early dynasty, Li Er summoned the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui to the Ganlu Hall to discuss the plan to exterminate the locusts.
Li Er knelt and sat on the top, and the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui knelt on the cushion at the bottom in turn. Li Er raised his eyes and asked lightly, "How have the three Aiqing been thinking these days?" Is there a solution for next year's locust plague? ”
The eldest grandson Wuji took the lead and said: "Back to Your Majesty, since Your Majesty has firmly believed that there will be a locust plague next year, the minister believes that the top priority is to let all localities step up the stockpiling of grain in case of emergency. ”
Li Er nodded, looked at Fang Xuanling and asked, "What is Fang Aiqing's idea?" ”
"Your Majesty, the old minister estimates that there is not much money left in the household department, I am afraid that it will be difficult to deal with this locust plague, and I am afraid that the strategy of the auxiliary brother will not work!"
"Indeed, the remaining silver money of the household department is only four million guan, plus the expenses of various places, I am afraid that the maximum amount that can be embezzled is only more than one million guan, relying on these silver coins alone to purchase food, I am afraid it will be difficult for all the people of my Datang to survive the locust plague." Li Er thought about it, and still told these people how difficult the current situation of the imperial court was.
The three people sitting at the bottom were all shocked when they heard this, and Du Ruhui couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, the old minister didn't expect that the finances of the imperial court would be so tight today. ”
"The minister is willing to do the same!"
The eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling looked embarrassed, and couldn't help but echo.
Li Er waved his hand and refused: "The three Aiqing have already suffered a lot with me in the Quartet a few years ago, if they are stable today, how can I let you live a hard life again, let's continue to discuss the locust plague!" ”
When the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui heard this, their eyes were slightly red, and they were extremely moved.
At this time, Du Ruhui got up and said: "Your Majesty, it is better to mobilize rich businessmen from all over the country to donate money, and the imperial court can use this to tide over the difficulties!" ”
I have to say that Lao Du's idea is still quite advanced, but he ignores a fact.
"But in what name does the imperial court want to mobilize rich businessmen to donate money?"
Li Er's eyes lit up at first, but after a while, it dimmed again, the reason for the donation is indeed a big problem!
Du Ruyan was stunned when he heard this, he immediately reacted, the prophecy of the locust plague must not be known to the whole world, so naturally it is impossible to let people donate money in the name of the locust plague, but if this is the case, then what convincing excuse can be found?
The hall fell silent, and the three important ministers all sank their hearts and pondered carefully.
Li Er was a little disappointed in his heart, he didn't expect that the three ministers he relied on the most were also helpless, was there really no way?
"Your Majesty, the male Tuo Lu Guogong of Li County sent in a secret fold!"
At this time, an attendant, holding a book of folds in both hands, trotted in and bowed to Li Er and said.
Li Er's spirits perked up, and he scolded with a smile: "This stinky boy finally sent the fold over, you quickly submit it, if it is not written well, I will definitely not spare him!" ”
The chamberlain hurriedly did so and presented the secret fold to Li Er.
The three old ministers, eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui, looked at each other, and were very surprised by Li Er's reaction at this time.
……………………
After almost half a burnt incense, Li Er put down the fold, looked at the three old ministers and said with a smile: "Li Zexuan has taken the fold and said some locust control strategies, the three Aiqing will see if it is feasible!" ”
The chamberlain took the secret fold and sent it to the eldest grandson Wuji, and the three of them got together, and began to look at it carefully, and saw that it was written:
"The minister thought hard and got three great plans for controlling the locusts and dedicated them to His Majesty for reference.
First, the minister believed that since the imperial court did not have much money to spare, it was better to send a large ship full of silk and porcelain to the small countries of the South China Sea in exchange for food. The minister tasted the land of Nanyang, the weather is very hot, the rice is ripe three times a year, and the price of grain is extremely cheap. In fact, even if I have tens of millions of dollars left in the treasury of the Tang Dynasty, the ministers do not approve of purchasing grain in the country, that is just tearing down the east wall to make up the west wall, what is the difference between some grain merchants hoarding grain in advance, and in the end it is the local people who are hungry.
Second, the ministers believed that the imperial court could issue relevant decrees to encourage the private sector to raise chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry through tax reductions and exemptions. When the number of these poultry reaches a certain level, it can completely ensure that the crops will not be plagued by locusts when the locust plague comes, and the court will only pay a few percent of the tax in the coming year. Otherwise, when the locust plague comes, the people are defenseless, and all the crops are eaten by locusts, and then the imperial court will not only not be able to collect even 10% of the tax, but will also have to take out extra money for disaster relief.
Third, the minister suggested that His Majesty should issue an order to let the officials of the state capitals of the Tang Dynasty build warehouses on the spot to store the grain harvested this year, and once the locust plague comes next year, all localities will directly open warehouses for disaster relief, which will avoid the transfer of grain back and forth, and huge consumption on the way!
The minister is not talented, thinking hard for half the night, and came up with these three strategies, if there is anything wrong, please don't blame Your Majesty, Tong Yan is unscrupulous, Tong Yan is unscrupulous! ”
………………
The eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui originally thought that what Li Zexuan said earlier was very reasonable, but when they saw this last sentence, they almost didn't laugh out loud, and dared to play such a treasure in the secret compromise written to Li Er, this kid is really cowardly!
