This iron mine is not small, and it produces a lot of iron every year.

He began to follow Li Yuan, and then fell into Li Shimin's hands.

This was originally the industry of the wealthy people in the court before the Sui Dynasty, referred to as the 'chaebol group'.

How terrifying were those chaebol forces at that time? Together, they directly forced the Sui Dynasty emperor Yang Guang to abdicate, and then pushed an honest Li Yuan to the throne.

At that time, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was afraid of the power of these 'chaebols', so he asked them to pay for the digging of the Grand Canal to disperse their financial resources.

Then send them to the frontier to fight and disperse their military forces.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was forced to the palace by the 'chaebols'.

However, Li Yuan is actually a shrewd person, after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan is also imperceptibly consuming the power of the chaebols, and today, the families left by those chaebols have almost been wiped out by Li Yuan and Li Shimin.

Of course, this does not mean that those families have no money.

For example, the eldest grandson family is a super family on the surface, but their family's strength and financial resources have been weakened by Li Shimin, but the dead camel is bigger than the horse, and the eldest grandson family is still the second largest family in the Tang Dynasty except for the royal family.

The reason why the Tang Dynasty can be so powerful is because during the Sui Dynasty, too many materials were left behind and given to the royal family of the Tang Dynasty.

For example, Li Shimin's treasury now still stores grain from the Sui Dynasty.

But because of the recent drought, Li Shimin also distributed these grains to the people of the Tang Dynasty to eat, and until now, there is not much left.

If the heavens are not beautiful, and there will be a few years of drought and natural disasters within the floods, I am afraid that Datang will really not be able to last a few years!

Li Shimin is not poor, but because he is thrifty, so he pretends to be poor.

And Li Yuan also knows how much money was left over from the Sui Dynasty?

What are the heroes and famous generals who remained?

If nothing else, just Li Jing, Li Tao, and Li Cunxiao, these three generals surnamed Li, take out one at random, and they are all the founding generals of the country in the past dynasties.

In addition, there are generals such as Qin Qiong, Wei Chi Jingde, Cheng Yanjin, which of these people is not the existence of dragons and phoenixes among people?

In other dynasties, they are all among the best generals.

And the Wenchen of the Tang Dynasty is even more powerful, as the saying goes: If you don't learn martial arts and literature, you will be a Tang Dynasty person in vain. If you don't learn martial arts, it's a two-hundred-and-five.

The prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty is a dynasty that is both civil and military, and very open.

Therefore, if the people within this dynasty have made progress in their thinking, then the whole country will also progress.

But unfortunately, human beings are still too small in the face of natural disasters.

And Li Shimin's hoarding of money and grain in the treasury was actually a precautionary measure.

The food that was secretly blocked could not be touched, even if the people were starved to death, he could not move.

Because the last grain was for the soldiers of the Tang Frontier.

Because when the last granary is opened, that is, the time when Turkic, Tibetan, Goguryeo and other countries invade the Tang Dynasty.

Datang is like this, then their country is not much better.

So they will definitely covet the fertile soil of Datang and attack Datang.

At this time, Li Shimin needed to open the last granary to the soldiers in the frontier, so that they could be fed and have the strength to go to the battlefield to defend the glory and territory of the country.

Therefore, I have to say that Li Shimin's political way is very solid and tenacious.

This can also prove why the Tang Dynasty that Li Shimin is working for will be called the prosperous era of Kaiyuan!

……

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

It's finally September.

In September, autumn has arrived.

It stands to reason that this is a harvest season, but the people are miserable.

Because it doesn't rain, the people of the entire Tang Dynasty can be regarded as having no harvest.

Even some people who planted some crops were killed alive because of lack of water, and some people were even starved to death and sunburned to death because they went out to do farm work.

And when Li Shimin went to court, he was also heartbroken when he heard these news.

But what can be done? Man-made disasters can still be solved, but this is a natural disaster, how to solve natural disasters? You can only light incense and worship the heavens, and the heavens will open their eyes and make it rain.

Li Shimin has removed the grain tax pressure from the peasants, but this still cannot solve the problem of starving to death.

Therefore, the granary of the treasury is also in and out at the moment.

Seeing that the treasury is losing money day by day, Li Shimin's heart is not a good feeling.

But so what? Li Shimin is just a mortal, can't he invite the Dragon King to rain? Therefore, Li Shimin only needs to pin all his hopes on Master Shikong.

Li Shimin hopes that Master Shikong can do a Dharma for the people of the entire Tang Dynasty and make it rain.

And Master Shikong also swore that he agreed.

Master Shikong said that he couldn't guarantee that it would rain, but he would definitely catch some demons coming out!

Sure enough, after Master Shikong finished doing a ritual, he was really caught by him and kept being a weasel?

Master Shikong pointed at the weasel and shouted: "Drought rat charm, the old man let you go today, let you get away from the Tang Dynasty quickly, and let you go and invite the dragon king to come to the rain!" ”

"Mix!"

After saying that, the weasel immediately ran away.

Seeing this, Li Shimin was immediately overjoyed.

And the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty also widened their wise eyes.

Even Li Lizhi couldn't help but applaud the master of liberation present.

However, Li Chengfeng said: "It's just a small skill of carving insects!" ”

Li Li frowned suspiciously, looked at Li Chengfeng, and said, "Brother Feng'er, I think that Master Shikong seems to have some ability, did we misunderstand him before?" ”

"Misunderstanding? Hmph, this weasel was obviously injured, and then it was caught by the old thief and hidden behind a rock! After the old thief finished his rituals, he took out this weasel from behind the stone! ”

"It's just a trick to deceive people, but it's turning you around one by one! Alas...... I don't even know what to say!"

"Ding, from Li Li's surprise, naughty value +66!"

Li Chengfeng shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

Li Lizhi had an incredible look on her face.

Li Li asked: "No, Brother Feng'er, but how do I feel that Master Shikong seems to be really powerful?" ”

"Amazing? That's all fake! Otherwise, how could he have stolen meat? ”

"Well, Brother Feng'er, what you said is also right, anyway, in the future, I will guard against Master Shikong and prevent him from getting close to important places in the palace!"

"Well, that's a good way to do that!"
