Leng Feng was so surprised that he dropped the meatballs held in the chopsticks to the ground: "No, Lao Wei, you think of me like that?" Am I that dark? ”

Not to mention anything else, Leng Feng admits that he is not a profiteer, at least for the people.

The coal stove was announced, the heating was announced, and the world made a lot of money downstairs, and threw money at the charity hall twice in three days, and all this money was used to help the victims.

In terms of his Leng Feng character, how can he hoard goods?

Wei Zheng also knew that he had lost his words, and patted his head: "Don't be surprised, the old man has been confused all the time today, and he can't control his mouth." ”

Li Shimin didn't expect Wei Zheng to intervene, and seeing that Wei Zheng stopped talking, he continued to ask: "What announcement do you want me to make?" ”

"In exchange for goods, the victims can exchange the locusts they catch for food, and the more locusts they have, the heavier the food they get. In this way, the victims are not being helped, but are self-reliant, and you should understand the gap. ”

Wei Zheng nodded, he was the first to understand Leng Feng's intentions.

Datang people have always been proud, unless they really can't live, they will choose to receive relief, as if it is a shame to receive relief themselves, unlike some people in later generations, who drive a good car and enjoy the subsistence allowance. At this time, the government gave relief to the victims, and there was no need to keep a record of the head at all, and whoever received it would give it to whomever it was, and there would hardly be anyone who took it opportunistically twice.

If the locust plague breaks out, the people will only receive relief if they are hungry, but if they exchange locusts for food, which is similar to exchanging labor for food, as Leng Feng proposed, it can directly mobilize the enthusiasm of the whole people.

"This method is good, but, Gong Xi, aren't you afraid of compensation? When the locust plague arises, the clouds cover the sun, and how much grain do you have to exchange? ”

"This time, our military originally planned to make no money to the end, but if it was grain for locusts, I could still drop a lot of locusts to feed the chickens."

Li Shimin quickly finished eating the meatballs in the basin, and after burping, he said: "You discuss slowly, I still have to deal with government affairs, and I have been piling up for a day, and I don't know how many days I have to approve it." ”

All four stood up and saw the Emperor off.

After Li Shimin left, Wei Zheng went to his table to eat, and the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling moved the case to the front of Leng Feng, and the eldest grandson Wuji approached and said: "Duke Xi Guo, since you want to exchange grain for locusts, the reserves in your suburban granary are definitely not enough, and the old man also plans to lose some money, you see?" ”

The power to deal with the locust plague is now in Leng Feng's hands, and no one can turn a blind eye to the opportunity to earn fame during the catastrophe, including Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji.

Leng Feng poured a glass of wine for each of them and said: "You also want to lose money, I am naturally happy, but ah, I promised the military first, and when we finish the compensation, you will organize civilian officials to compensate, and you have to make it clear if you come first and then come." ”

Eldest Sun Wuji nodded, since Leng Feng said so, it means that they have a chance to drink soup, and it is only February at this time, and there is still a chance to prepare.

After eating, a eunuch led them to find a place to stay.

The imperial palace, especially the harem, is the emperor's territory, and ordinary ministers, even if they are stayed, can only stay on the periphery, and Li Shimin arranged them to live within the harem, which was originally a sign of trust.

Leng Feng's place of residence is still Jiafu Palace, and it seems that Jiafu Hall is about to change its surname to Leng. When he walked to the Imperial Garden, Leng Feng found that the pavilion by the pond was brightly lit, so he called the eunuch who led the way with a lantern and changed the route to the pavilion.

In addition to the palace maids and eunuchs in the pavilion, there are four people - Li Yuan, Li Xiaogong, Li Daozong, these people are playing cards under the light, unaware that the weather is very cold at this time, each bare-chested and barebacked, sweating profusely, only to find that they are gambling and drinking, and whoever loses will drink three glasses.

When Li Xiaogong saw Leng Feng coming over, he said to Li Yuan: "Emperor Taishang, didn't you say that there is a lack of one to play mahjong?" Isn't this coming? ”

Li Yuan glanced at Leng Feng with drunken eyes: "It turned out to be you, come on, come on, accompany me to play a few rounds of mahjong before leaving!" ”

Leng Feng didn't have a gambling addiction, so he said: "It's rare for the Emperor Taishang to invite me, but unfortunately it's late, in order to avoid catching a cold, the three of them still dispersed." ”

Li Xiaogong said nonchalantly: "What is cold, when there was no fur fur, in the cold winter, the old man was wearing a single coat, and he also had to lead the troops to fight, at that time it was much colder than this, not much to say, you have won a lot in the court today, and look at the old man to win all your money!" ”

Leng Feng also felt that it was inconvenient to carry a bag of gold and silver in his arms, so he simply sat on the side of the table, planning to withdraw if he lost everything.

But here's the blame, the more Li Xiaogong wants to win, the more he loses, the more Leng Feng wants to lose money, but he frequently wins cards, even the cards he starts to draw are tattered, and he can also catch them.

Li Daozong said to Leng Feng while playing cards: "Today, the Duke of Xi Guo is very powerful in the court, and even the prince is said to be down, but he has the demeanor of Zhuge Kongming's tongue and Confucianism. ”

Li Daozong convicted Wang Fu of a serious crime today, and he must have offended the Taiyuan royal family, so he asked Leng Feng for help.

He is not a royal blood relative, and once he makes a mistake in the court, the people who scold him will not have anything to care about.

"It's just a little foot, where can it be compared to Mr. Wolong, but if there is a villain above the court who wants to do something, I will definitely help you."

After three or four laps, Li Xiaogong lost all his fart-shares, but he obviously didn't have the intention of going down, so he grabbed a handful from Li Daozong's money pile and continued to play cards.

These three people are very strange tonight, first of all, Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong were not summoned by Li Shimin, and it is impossible for them to stay in the palace, and they don't care about the cold, playing cards in this place, there is quite a sense of fishing - this pavilion is only fifty steps away from the main gate of Jiafu Palace.

Leng Feng, who was nonsense again, pushed away the silver handed over by Li Daozong, and said, "If your uncle and nephew have anything to say about seducing me here today, just say it, don't hide it." ”

Li Yuan looked at Li Daozong and Li Xiaogong, and sighed: "Let's say it, after the next dynasty today, there is an unsigned letter submitted to Zhongshu Province, slandering Daozong and me for colluding, and planning to restore the throne!" Fang Xuanling's subordinate officials withheld this fold and handed it to me. ”

"What?"

Leng Feng was dumbfounded, what the hell is this unfolding?

Li Yuan looked at Leng Feng with an incredulous look on his face, and continued: "Don't believe it, there really is such a twist, you see." ”

Leng Feng took the fold handed over by Li Yuan, just took a cursory look at it, and then laughed: "It's just because of this!" ”
