Zhang Qian obviously didn't understand Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was full of surprise in his heart at the moment, a person who can speak casually is really jealous.

But obviously Chen Zhengtai is not here for the way of poetry, which is also what satisfies Li Shimin.

After all, for Li Shimin, poetry is just a small way, and a man and a husband should focus on merit.

Removing these, the most important thing is that Chen Zhengtai is a modest person, he clearly speaks well, but he never shows off, which is very similar to me, a modest young man, after all, his nature is not too bad.

This road was quite bumpy, and Li Shimin didn't like to take the car, but he had to hold back.

Finally, the carriage finally stopped, and Zhang Qian said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Erpigou has arrived." ”

"Hmm." Li Shimin nodded, he had a faint expectation in his heart, and he ...... I've heard the name too many times these days, of course...... This is also not unrelated to the male in Erpigou County.

Li Shimin immediately got out of the car, and at this time, the rear team of ministers riding horses in the face of the flying locusts in the sky also rushed up one by one.

In the distance, Chen Zhengtai, who had heard the news earlier, had already come side by side with Princess Sui'an.

Chen Zhengtai saw Li Shimin and saluted: "I have seen the teacher." ”

When Li Shimin heard the word teacher, he couldn't help but think of all kinds of greetings on weekdays.

And now......

Li Shimin couldn't help but smile a little wryly, hey...... Well, now I really won't be able to eat anything.

Along the way, everything was bare, and countless locusts flew all over the sky, not to mention food, but even the bark of trees was afraid that there was nothing to eat.

Chen Zhengtai bowed and maintained the movement of saluting.

Li Shimin slowly took a few steps forward, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Princess Sui'an, his daughter messing with Chen Zhengtai, in front of all the ministers...... Something seems wrong.

But in this era, there is nothing to taboo, what royalty, what women, there are many such things, everyone thinks they don't see it.

Li Shimin stopped in front of Chen Zhengtai, and suddenly, he took off the cloak behind him, and then put the cloak on Chen Zhengtai's body, and said with a lot of emotion: "Zhengtai, you have worked hard." ”

Chen Zhengtai said busily: "Students are not hard. ”

I said in my heart, this is a hot day...... Give me a cloak, my teacher really has to come up with something to promote all the time.

Of course, Chen Zhengtai also believes that Li Shimin at this moment is sincere.

Li Shimin raised his eyes and saw that on this barren land, there were people gathered everywhere, groups of people in ragged clothes were endless, and the sound of crying was heard from time to time all around, and under the sky, it was indescribably desolate.

He sighed: "Erpigou's grain, is it enough?" ”

Chen Zhengtai said: "Your Majesty, there are still 34,000 stones of grain in Erpigou now, which is enough to continue to deal with it." ”

Li Shimin nodded, and couldn't help sighing, thirty-four thousand stones, he smiled bitterly: "I want to tell you that the grain donated by all my civil and military ministers is less than one percent of yours." ”

As soon as these words came out, except for the buzzing of the locusts, the silence here was terrifying.

The eldest grandson Wuji and the others looked at Chen Zhengtai, and their hearts were full of disgust.

Originally, everyone was eighty and he was three hundred, and he was psychologically satisfied, at least in front of His Majesty, it was reasonable, but now there is an outlier among the courtiers, and the surname Chen is going to be killed.

Chen Zhengtai immediately said: "Teacher, the student just bought a batch of grain by luck before. ”

By the skin of one's teeth......

When Li Shimin heard this, he suddenly said in his heart: "You are really my lucky general, this luck has really helped me a lot." ”

Li Shimin's eyes immediately fell on Princess Sui'an: "You are my daughter, and you are also here to help the people?" ”

Princess Sui'an nodded hurriedly: "Yes." ”

Li Shimin sighed again: "This is your mother's teaching." ”

I secretly made up my mind to go to Zhou Zhaorong's place tonight.

He didn't answer again, but led his ministers and guards towards the depths of Erpigou.

The guards had carved out a road along the way, and they saw that in this barren place, there were almost no weeds in sight, and countless homeless people could not see the end at a glance, and some people came to buy food with cloth bags on their backs, and the procession was like a long snake with no end in sight.

There are also many people with their bags on their backs, and it seems that they have heard that there is food here, so they simply come here to escape the famine.

They really don't have any money, and they hope to be resettled in Erpigou.

Once people's desire to survive is aroused, they are like grasping a life-saving straw, and they will not let go when they die.

"Why is there a long queue there?" Li Shimin pointed to the distance.

Chen Zhengtai said: "Students sell grain here, and the price is limited to three catties according to Dingkou, and the price is the original price of the market, and... Regardless of the high or low people, they are only sold with dingkou. In this way, if there is food at home, they will naturally not come to buy it, but they are really willing to come here to line up because they can't open the pot at home. “

Chen Zhengtai paused and continued: "There is another advantage to buying according to Dingkou, in previous years, when there was a catastrophe, it was inevitable that people would sell their children and daughters, and the student was a kind-hearted person, so he really couldn't stand it." Now it is sold in Dingkou, and there is one less person in the family, and the amount of grain purchased at a low price will be less, which can make the people grit their teeth and persist to survive the famine year to the greatest extent. ”

Li Shimin nodded again and again after hearing this, and said: "It's still thoughtful, I never imagined that you would have such scheming at such a young age." ”

The ministers followed boredly, looking bored.

It's not that Chen Zhengtai's move disgusted them, to be honest, people's hearts are flesh and blood, the Chen family is willing to provide disaster relief, and everyone's conscience is also passable.

But...... This guy ...... There is a suspicion of stealing people's jobs, which makes everyone embarrassed at this time.

When they heard His Majesty praise Chen Zhengtai like this, their hearts couldn't help but be sour.

But who expected, at this time, Chen Zhengtai said loudly: "Teacher, you have forgotten that these ways of helping the people through the world are all taught to students by teachers." After listening to the teacher's class, the students were deeply inspired, and although they only learned a little from the teacher, they still benefited a lot. ”

His voice was very loud, and at first glance, he looked like he hadn't drunk porridge recently, and he was full of energy.

When everyone heard this, they were in a trance for a while, and they scolded this stupid boy who was killed halfway in their hearts...... Awesome.

When Li Shimin heard this, he really laughed, the corner of his eyes fell on the ministers, and the smile on his face quickly swept again: "Very good, excellent, oh, and there, what are you doing there?" ”

Distance......

It's a group of victims working, I don't know what they're doing, and there are quite a few of them.

Chen Zhengtai said: "Teacher, there are still some disaster victims, they are really penniless, so they have to come to Erpigou for refuge. As we all know, students are kind-hearted people, and they can't watch them starve to death. But let them eat and drink for nothing, and the students were only afraid that there would be treacherous people mixed in, so they thought of a way, which was to find them something to do. ”

In this way, the idle people will not dare to come, and those who can come here to work are really desperate. Several of the students' relatives are now leading them to build houses, and the students are ...... plans to take advantage of the disaster year to build a school and recruit some poor children to study. ”

Cash-for-work ...... Li Shimin understands.

The construction of the school did not make Li Shimin very incomprehensible.

Some of the ministers behind him couldn't help but smile, this Chen Zhengtai is really whimsical. There are only a limited number of people in the world who can read.

Today, most of the people who can really get education come from the family of the world officials, although there are also private schools in this era, but it is not so much private learning, but clan learning, this is because the resources of education are extremely scarce, and those children of ordinary families, they have read books?

Not to mention anything else, how many books does your Chen family have in their collection, how can so many people in this school afford huge expenses, and ...... What are you going to teach?

Today, it is the imperial examination and the world official system at the same time, the so-called world officials, of course, it is easy to understand, this is the main way for the children of the family to enter the office, and as for the imperial examination system, how many educational resources can these children of the poor family get, and can compete with the children of those scholars?

Li Shimin just smiled at this, he looked at Chen Zhengtai, and thought that this son's heart is good, but some places are too taken for granted and unrealistic.

But...... This is understandable, after all, he is still too young, this is a good piece of jade, to be sharpened, it will become a great tool in the future. Wouldn't it be beautiful when the master and apprentice get along?
