Chapter 289: Four states are out of grain, and Li Chengfeng reviews and folds

Although he has never dealt with the government, he also learned how Li Shimin went to the court when he listened to the court before.

I saw Liu Zhenghui open the fold in his hand and said, "Start playing the Eighth Prince!" The thing that the old minister wants to play is about the people's livelihood! ”

"Recently, the disaster in Datang has been serious, Yangzhou, Liuzhou, Jinzhou and other cities have run out of food, and there is no food to provide to Datang, even if you spend a lot of money to buy, you can't buy food! And Xuanzhou, Youzhou and other cities are seriously affected and lack food! In addition, the weather is hot, and the people have suffered countless deaths and injuries, and the people are struggling to survive! All, after inspecting the people's situation by the ministers and others, they implored the eighth prince to open a warehouse and release 2 million catties of grain! One million catties are transported to Xuanzhou, and one million catties are transported to Youzhou! In order to survive the year of natural disasters! ”

After Liu Zhenghui finished speaking, Li Chengfeng pursed his lips and frowned and thought about it.

Two million catties of grain, that's not a small amount.

Li Chengfeng opened the number of granaries handed over to the treasury by Wang Dequan and found that there were 100 million catties of grain hoarded inside.

Many of these grains are even dry grains left over from the Sui Dynasty.

So Li Chengfeng nodded and said, "Quasi-play!" ”

"The people live on food! One million catties of grain is not much, this year's loss, why don't you earn it back next year! ”

Li Chengfeng waved his hand and shouted a quasi-play.

Liu Zhenghui suddenly looked overjoyed and said, "Thank you for the eighth prince's play!" On behalf of the people of Xuanzhou and Youzhou City, the old minister will kowtow to the Eighth Prince and thank you! ”

After speaking, Liu Zhenghui immediately knelt down and knocked his head on the ground three times.

In the past, transporting grain was not so simple.

Because Li Shimin has a lot of concerns, he usually thinks about it for a long time before distributing half of the grain.

But in reality, in a drought year, people are bound to starve to death.

The emperor is ruthless, Li Shimin knows that the granary in the treasury cannot save the people of the whole world, so he can only starve to death first, and save part of it by putting grain.

This is the best option.

But Li Chengfeng took office to cut through the mess quickly.

There's no food, right? Open the treasury to release grain, and if you lose it today, why don't you earn it back next year.

Li Shimin has a long-term view, so he will not open too much grain in the treasury at once, because Li Shimin is afraid that the coming year will be a year of natural disasters, and he must save the grain in the treasury and preserve the strength of the Tang Dynasty.

But Li Chengfeng and Li Shimin's thinking is different.

Li Shimin is afraid of disasters in the coming year, but Li Chengfeng is not afraid at all.

Why don't we lose this year's grain, but we can earn it back next year.

Natural disasters stand in the way? Drought? Flood? Then Li Chengfeng will directly use the system for you, build a Three Gorges Dam, control the water source, and see if there is anything else to say?

Once the reservoir is completed and the Grand Canal is completed, then there will be two Grand Canals in the entire Tang Dynasty.

One is the commercialized Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and the other is the agricultural water canal.

In this way, are you still afraid that you will not be able to grow food in the coming year?

Moreover, the hybrid rice with a yield of 2,000 catties of grain per mu in the backyard of the palace in Li Chengfeng Town is no joke.

As long as there is land and water, hybrid rice can be grown.

Even if Datang has no pesticides and fertilizers, Li Chengfeng doesn't ask them for 2,000 catties per mu and 1,000 catties of grain per mu, they can always grow it, right?

In this way, as long as the seeds of hybrid rice are planted in the whole Datang in the coming year, it will definitely be a bumper harvest.

Li Chengfeng was sure in his heart, so he opened the warehouse and released grain so decisively.

However, those ministers were shocked by Li Chengfeng's approach.

In the past, the emperor Li Shimin had to think a lot about opening a warehouse and releasing grain, but the eighth prince thought about it for only three seconds, and he was ready to play?

That's too fast, right?

No wonder the emperor said that the Eighth Prince's handling of government affairs is definitely a quick knife to cut through the mess.

This is simply a knife to cut all the incurable diseases.

But the question is, can Datang's treasury afford such consequences?

If you can't afford it, after Li Shimin let the Eighth Prince mess around, will he take over and wipe his ass?

Isn't the emperor looking for trouble for himself and asking for bad luck?

If Li Chengfeng's grain distribution rate is followed, the state treasury will definitely not be able to make ends meet, and in a few years, the state treasury will completely lose money!

"Qizuo Eight Princes, Taizhou, Tanzhou and other regions have also fallen into a drought situation, the people are hungry, and the old minister implores the Eighth Prince to batch 1 million catties of grain to come down and go to support the victims!"

Another minister, who was in charge of the cities of the two states, stood up and said that he had started playing.

Li Chengfeng frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Is the disaster serious?" ”

The minister said: "Back to the Eighth Prince, when the old minister went to inspect, there was already a phenomenon of starvation on the side of the road!" And ......"

"Okay, don't talk about it, Zhunju!"

Li Chengfeng waved his little hand and approved it again.

At this time, the Manchu Dynasty was stunned again, and Li Chengfeng also reaped a wave of naughty value.

Seeing that the verdict of the Eighth Prince was so decisive, many ministers stood up one by one and started the major event of the people's drought feelings.

"The Eighth Prince, as well as Chengzhou, Quanzhou and other cities, need food......

"Eighth Prince, the people of Lizhou are also falling into a food shortage, and they may be about to enter a famine!"

……

Many ministers are talking about food.

Li Chengfeng asked again: "May I ask the ministers, this prince, there is a question now, I don't fucking understand!" ”

Li Chengfeng said the last, and his tone was very heavy.

For a while, the ministers who started to play and play were silent in an instant, not daring to speak.

They didn't expect that the Eighth Emperor would actually curse people above the court? Burst foul language.

Wei Zheng arched his hands and said respectfully: "Eighth prince, please also tell your doubts, and the old minister will answer them for you!" ”

Wei Zheng knew that the first time the Eighth Prince dealt with the government affairs, there would definitely be many incurable diseases that could not be solved, so Wei Zheng had been waiting for Li Chengfeng's question, and then stood up to explain.

I only heard Li Chengfeng say: "Prime Minister Wei Zheng, this prince has a question that I don't understand!" ”

"The Eighth Prince, please speak!" Wei Zhengdao.

Li Chengfeng said: "Why is Datang so prosperous and powerful, but for the sake of people's livelihood, the people can't survive a year of natural disasters?" Don't they have a little food reserve at home? Can't you even last a year? ”

"You say that those red clay lands in the north, where there is a shortage of food in places where food cannot be grown, that's okay! But why is there no food in places such as the south, which has the land of fish and rice, and Yangzhou, the land of rice? What the hell is going on? ”

Li Chengfeng asked seriously.

Wei Zheng replied seriously: "Eighth prince, you don't know anything! Let's listen to the old minister! ”

"This state is in charge of the county, the county is in charge of the city, the city is in charge of the village, and the village is in charge of the people!"

"And we, the Tang Palace, manage the entire state city of the Tang Dynasty!"
