Chapter 15 Eat, Eat
"Is this a place to learn? Tell me, what kind of learning do you do? Li Shimin asked sharply.
"Erchen is studying the problem of eating." Li You said seriously.
"Hahahaha", the ministers laughed again.
Li You's eyes widened, and he said loudly: "What are you laughing at, is it so funny?" ”
"Hahahaha", the ministers laughed even harder.
Li Tai said: "You solved one thing by luck, do you think that eating can solve everything?" Hahahaha. ”
Fang Xuanling originally had a good impression of Li You, but at this moment, he also looked down on him a little, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
Yin Hongzhi was very depressed, and said in his heart: "Li You is obviously very smart, what is he doing?" ”
Li Shimin was really angry, he said: "I asked you to go to the court to participate in political affairs, but you are talking nonsense here, usually let you do learning, but you don't do it, but at this time you come to study what to eat, it is simply unorthodox." You ......"
Li Shimin pointed at Li You and was about to go crazy, when he heard someone shouting: "Your Majesty, Henan Province has sent an urgent report." ”
Li Shimin had no choice but to let Li You go for the time being to deal with the matter in front of him.
The Henan Provincial Observation Envoy sent an emergency report that a large-scale epidemic had occurred in Zhengzhou, Xuzhou, and Bianzhou, and that many people had suffered from big neck disease, and that measures had been taken in the local area, but the condition did not improve, but more and more people became ill.
Li Shimin said: "Pass on Liu Quanzhong. ”
Soon, Liu Chuanzhong, the head of the Tai Hospital, came. After reading this newspaper, he said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, forgive the minister for being incompetent, this kind of sick minister has heard of it before, but he has never seen it, and he doesn't know how to deal with it for a while." ”
Li Shimin asked, "What about the other people in the hospital, do they have a way to treat this disease?" ”
Liu Chuanzhong shook his head and said, "No, the ministers know everyone's medical skills in the Tai Hospital. ”
Li Shimin was depressed in his heart, he knew that the ministers could not have a way, but he still asked with hope: "What can you all do?" ”
There was a lot of chatter in the hall for a while, and then there was no sound.
Li You understood what was going on, he checked the information again and confirmed it. However, he was very hesitant, last time he didn't hold back and was in the limelight, but the result has already attracted the attention of Li Tai and others, if this is in the limelight, it will be sad in the future.
"However, my three views are very correct, so many patients, if you don't stretch out your hand, your conscience will be disturbed. But...... I just want to be a foodie in peace, this ......" he still can't make up his mind.
Suddenly, Yin Hongzhi stood up, and he said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Yiyang may have a way. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Li You.
"Damn, I still have such an uncle, isn't that harming me?!" Li You couldn't cry or laugh.
Li Shimin asked, "King Yiyang, what can you do?" ”
Li You still didn't think about whether to say it or not, he said hesitantly: "Erchen...... Erchen ......"
Seeing Li You's appearance, Li Tai smiled sarcastically: "What can he do?" What else can he do besides eat? "Lee Tae has just been praised and is worried that Lee Woo will steal the limelight.
"Hahahaha", everyone laughed again.
Originally, Li You didn't make up his mind, and he was provoked by these people and became angry. He said loudly: "Father, the son has a way!" ”
The hall fell silent for a moment.
Li Shimin was about to go crazy, but when he heard this, he was stunned, and he asked, "You say, what way?" ”
Li You said: "Father, the two problems just now can be solved by the sons, but ......"
"But, what?" Li Shimin asked.
"Erchen can not only solve it, but also do not need the court to spend any expenses, but also increase the income of the court." Li You said.
"Is this possible?" There was a lot of discussion in the hall.
The resettlement of disaster victims and the treatment of epidemics have always required a lot of manpower and material resources, and Li You actually said that he did not need the imperial court to pay money, and he could increase his income, which was also too shocking!
No one believed it, and neither did Li Shimin. He said, "Tell me, what's the solution?" ”
Li You said: "Father, the son has solved this problem, can you ask for a favor?" ”
Li Shimin said: "If you really solve these problems, I will give you what you want." ”
Li You said: "That's good, Erchen has a headache as soon as he goes to court. If these problems are solved, please allow the sons to no longer go to court. ”
"What's this called a problem?" Everyone wondered.
Yin Hongzhi wanted to cry, he tried hard to force Li You to go up, but the result was good, and people hid directly!
Li Shimin also wanted to go down and smoke him at this moment: "I lifted you together, you are so unmotivated." ”
He pulled his face and said, "Well, if you really solve these problems, I will allow you not to go to court." ”
Li You said: "What do you say? ”
Li Shimin was angry and said, "If this matter is resolved, you can get out." ”
Li You was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, father." In fact, these things are very simple, eat, just eat. ”
With the experience of the last Tuyuhun incident, no one dared to laugh at him this time.
Li You consulted the history and knew that last year's flood in the Jianghuai region affected the transportation of sea salt, and the above-mentioned affected areas temporarily allocated rock salt from the hinterland, which lacked iodine. People in these areas have been eating sea salt for a long time, and they are not adapted to rock salt, which causes Great Neck Disease.
Li You said: "This big neck disease is called iodine deficiency. This is because of the heavy rains in the Jianghuai region last year, which caused floods......" he explained the cause of the disease.
"I see." There was a lot of talking.
Li You continued: "This matter is very simple, normal consumption of sea salt, can be alleviated, slowly can be cured. Here, Erchen recommends an ingredient, which is kelp, which contains a lot of iodine and is easy to absorb. ”
People in the Tang Dynasty didn't eat kelp, first, they didn't know that they could eat it, and secondly, the kelp itself was difficult to taste, and no one wanted to eat it.
"This kelp is a good thing, Erchen has a lot of recipes for kelp, and it tastes very good......" At the mention of eating, Li You suddenly came to his senses.
He said: "There is a lot of kelp in the sea, and it doesn't cost money." Didn't there be 10,000 people who were not resettled, so they lived by the sea, and organized them to salvage kelp and transport it to the epidemic area, and they could also transport it to Chang'an and other areas. The profits created, there is no problem at all in feeding these people.
In this way, the imperial court no longer needed to settle these people, and they were not willing to leave their homeland in the first place. The wealth they created can also increase taxes for the imperial court, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone? ”
"This ......" has such a solution. The ministers all looked at Li You with strange eyes.
As soon as he heard that there was no need to spend money, Gao Jingming, the head of the household, immediately came out to support, and he said: "This idea is good, and the minister agrees." ”
Ministers were in favor.
Li Shimin was a little unconvinced, looked at Liu Quanzhong, the head of the Tai Hospital, and asked, "Is it feasible?" ”
