Mencius said: If you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world.

This sentence has been passed down through the ages and is the lifelong standard of countless Chinese sons and daughters.

Although Wang Dazhui is not a sage, he is still very sympathetic to these suffering people.

The catastrophe is merciless, but people are merciful. Since I have the ability, I can do my best to let more people live, and it is not in vain to live again in this life.

Therefore, Wang Dazhui took the initiative to go to the palace to find Li Shimin and told Li Shimin what he thought.

……

Liangyi Palace

"Your Majesty, Wang Xiannan asks to see!" Guo Ren said to Li Shimin, who was at a loss.

Li Shimin, who was in a trance, didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't hear clearly, "What did you say?" ”

"Your Majesty, Wang Xiannan is waiting outside the palace, saying that he has something important to report." Guo Ren had to repeat it again.

"Wang Xiannan? What could he have mattered about? Let him in! Li Shimin shook his head and let himself be a little more energetic.

When Wang Dazhui was led in by the chamberlain, Li Shimin was rubbing his temples.

"The king's sledgehammer greets Your Majesty!" Wang Da Hammer bowed and saluted.

"Excuse me!"

"Tell me, what's the matter with you coming to me?" Li Shimin was preoccupied and a little absent-minded.

It seems that the troubles brought to Li Shimin by the disaster victims are very serious, and he has lost his former spirit.

"I came to share your Majesty's worries, and I believe that after listening to my words, the troubles in Your Majesty's heart will definitely disappear." Wang Dazhui found a place to sit down very casually.

His relationship with Li Shimin is getting closer and closer, and getting along with each other in private is becoming more and more casual.

"Stinky boy, are you here to entertain me?" Li Shimin was laughed angrily by Wang Da Hammer's pretended gesture.

Wang Dazhui was also on a whim just now, and learned the opening words of the strategists.

He adjusted his sitting position to make himself as comfortable as possible, because he didn't like the habit of kneeling in the ancients.

"Your Majesty, I have never dared to entertain you, I believe that the affairs of these natural disasters must make Your Majesty very troubled." Wang Dazhui looked at Li Shimin and said slowly.

"It's a shame to be a part of the disaster, but what can you do? Without food, even if the gods come, it is estimated that it will be useless. Li Shimin was not very interested, obviously not believing that Wang Dazhui had any way.

"It's useless for the gods to come, but I can try, if I solve the trouble of the victims in Chang'an City for Your Majesty, Your Majesty will dare to promise me a condition unconditionally?" Wang Dazhui said calmly.

After listening to Wang Dazhui's words, Li Shimin's interest was a little better than just now, and he said to Wang Dazhui in a mocking tone: "If you can solve this big trouble for me, don't say a condition, even a hundred I will promise you." ”

"You have no jokes, Your Majesty?"

"But I don't want a hundred, I only need one condition." Without waiting for Li Shimin to answer, Wang Dazhui continued: "My plan is very simple, that is, to select some of these victims in Chang'an City to find the various mineral resources I told Your Majesty before. As for the rest, arrange some work for them that they can do, so that not only can they have something to do, but also can relieve the trouble of the imperial court. ”

"What's the best thing you can do? It's easy for me to let these people follow you, but how much food can you give them? Li Shimin said angrily.

"Your Majesty, I don't know if you've ever heard of Tianzhu Kingdom? There are many places on the southeast coast where rice is grown three times a year, so where they have grain is not worth anything at all.

A few years ago, I had already sent someone to find out where the southern convoy had gone, and in the past few days I have received news from them that the first batch of more than 100,000 stone of grain has been shipped back, and it is estimated that it will arrive in Shandong, Henan, and other places in five or six days at most.

As for the victims of the disaster in Chang'an, the capital, according to what the minister said, they should leave the sturdy young people, and the others who return to their hometowns, and those who do not want to go back, can also stay and do some simple things in the handicraft workshop I opened, which is enough to support themselves. ”

"Is that true?" Li Shimin asked very excitedly.

"Of course it's really Your Majesty, I dare to vouch for it with my head!" In order to give Li Shimin a reassurance, Wang Dazhui also let go.

"Why didn't you tell me in advance about sending a fleet to sea to buy food?"

"Your Majesty, I have also waited until now to be foolproof, after all, Tianzhu is so far away, and I have seen many situations from books, for fear that it is just a rumor. That's why I waited for the news to be confirmed before I came to report to His Majesty. Wang Dazhui smiled and explained why he did this.

"Good boy, there is really you, there are so many civil and military officials under my hands who can't do anything, and when I come to you, I can solve it easily, you are really a noble man of the Tang Dynasty." Li Shimin almost danced excitedly.

Wang Dazhui smiled humbly: "Your Majesty, I have won the award, I just did a little work in advance, I think with the wisdom and insight of Lord Du, Lord Fang, and Lord Changsun, it won't take long to think of this method." ”

Li Shimin smiled "haha", picked up the tea on the table and drank it all, and his spirit instantly became invigorated, "Don't put gold on their faces, how long has it been?" If they could have thought of it, they would have thought of it a long time ago. ”

The stone in Li Shimin's heart was removed, and the whole person regained his previous calmness, and his face became red because of excitement.

"Guo Ren, go get me something to eat, I haven't had an appetite for the past few days, and I'm a little hungry now...... Hehe. Li Shimin smiled and commanded Guo Ren.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the servant will let the imperial dining room hurry up." After Guo Ren finished speaking, he was about to retreat.

Li Shimin added: "Make a copy for Wang Xiannan and let him eat with me, otherwise it will be meaningless to eat alone." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minions obey!"

Waiting for Guo Ren to go down and arrange for someone to prepare a meal for Li Shimin, Li Shimin got up from his seat with a smile and walked in front of Wang Dazhu.

"Wang Xiannan, the few books you gave to the prince are good, they are very exciting, even I am fascinated by them, there are too many worries these days, if it weren't for these books to relieve boredom, I would probably be suffocated." Li Shimin was quite touched.

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Wang Dazhui smiled slightly and didn't dare to say anything, but he heard that the crown prince Li Chengqian was jointly denounced by the gentlemen because he was reading books and sleeping in classes in the Hongwen Pavilion.

Seeing Wang Dazhui's expression, Li Shimin also guessed what he was thinking.

Li Shimin patted Wang Dazhui on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Wang Xiannan, this son of mine will ask you to have more contacts in the future." ”

Wang Dazhui felt a little confused when he heard it, how did he feel that Li Shimin's words were like Liu Xuande giving Zhuge Liang a lonely.
