A sudden heavy rainstorm broke the tranquility of the Tang Dynasty, and even broke many plans predetermined in Li Xuan's heart.

What was his original plan?

That is, try to be as low-key as possible, bury your head in the development of Huangzhu Mountain, at most occasionally go out of the mountains to capture some people, especially craftsmen or something, and then concentrate on research and development of high-tech, and wait for one day to get the flintlock pistol out, and wait for the day to get the superior performance of the cannon out, and that time is the time to consider how to expand the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

As for the present and even for a long time in the future, what he has to do is to try to avoid attracting the attention of the Ming court's high-level and avoid causing the Ming court's army to attack.

In short, it's to hide and play and entertain yourself!

But now, Li Xuan found that his idea could not be realized, because this heavy rain directly washed away nearly forty percent of the farmland in Huangzhu Mountain, in other words, when they harvested this summer, the grain they could harvest would be forty percent less than expected.

This also means that there are more than 3,700 people up and down Huangzhu Mountain, and at least 1,000 people will not have access to enough food.

This situation is not only known to Li Xuan himself, almost everyone in the Tang Dynasty knows that they will not be able to harvest enough food this summer, and they will face starvation or even starvation to death in the second half of the year.

For many days after the heavy rains, people up and down Huangzhu Mountain were clearing flooded farmland and reinforcing the embankment, but the peace on people's faces had been lost, and many people began to talk about how to survive this difficulty.

There is no need for those bigwigs to speak, many bandits and even ordinary old and weak people have begun to talk about what to go out of the mountain to grab a handful.

At the foot of Huangzhu Mountain, in the hall of the Tang Palace.

"Liu Aiqing, have you cleared up all the silt in those flooded farmland? Can the levees be reinforced? Although Li Xuan, who was sitting on the dragon chair, asked, his eyes did not look at Liu Bagou, but looked forward, and he didn't know what he was looking at or thinking.

Liu Bagou looked up at Li Xuan, and when he saw that he looked like a wanderer, his face immediately changed slightly, he took a step forward, and then snapped and knelt down: "The minister is guilty of death!" ”

Liu Bagou's sudden move frightened many people in the hall, and the butcher Chen on the side looked at him, muttering in his heart, this Liu Bagou is stupid again, these readers are all stupid and stupid, and they will do these messy things in three days.

Capital crime? What capital offense? This brainless remark made Butcher Chen very puzzled.

Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren also looked at Liu Bagou who was kneeling on the ground with the appearance of looking stupid, and thought to themselves, why is this Liu Bagou stupid again, Your Majesty asked you whether the silt was cleaned up, whether the embankment was reinforced, and did not directly ask you if you were guilty.

Why did you Liu Bagou suddenly say this!

The opinions of others are naturally ignored by Liu Bagou, he is a scholar, the first assistant of the Tang Dynasty, and he doesn't care about the thoughts of these rude warriors!

In his eyes, there was only Li Xuan, who was sitting on the dragon chair as if he was a divine wanderer, although he was in the council hall, but he didn't know where he had gone.

This is the young master he wholeheartedly wants to assist, and this is the signboard for him to realize his own ideals and values!

Although he knelt, he still looked at Li Xuan and continued: "A few days ago, the embankment burst, and a large area of farmland was destroyed, so that thousands of people in Datang will have no food to cover after this summer, and let me Datang fall into a food shortage crisis. ”

As he spoke, he lowered his head, and then lay his whole body on the ground: "Please Your Majesty behead the criminal minister and abandon the city!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the council hall was shocked, and Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren and several other generals were even more coerced, they had seen stupid people, but they had never seen such stupid people, and they begged the emperor to kill him?

However, the expressions of several civil officials behind Liu Bagou, especially Wang Wenhua and Qian Mengjiu, were different from those generals, at this time, Wang Wenhua remembered that after the rainstorm returned to flood control a few days ago and flooded a large area of the world, Li Xuan sighed and returned to the palace, and seemed to muttered on the way: "The disaster lies in the sky!" ”

And Li Xuan was in a daze when he went to court in the past few days, which made Wang Wenhua have a very bad premonition in his heart, and now seeing Liu Bagou's actions, Wang Wenhua knows that Liu Bagou is worried about the same thing as himself.

That is, the young man who is afraid of himself thinks that this rainstorm is God's punishment for them, otherwise he would not have said that the disaster lies in the sky.

Once the young son of heaven is given birth to this mentality, I am afraid that he will be disheartened, and he may even lose hope completely, in that case, their ravine dynasty will not break up in a minute.

If it was said that last year, Li Xuan was just a signboard for this ravine dynasty, and there was not much difference between him and him, but after almost a year passed, this young son of heaven had already proved with his own actions that he was indispensable to the Tang Dynasty.

Without Li Xuan, there would have been no Guards at all, no muskets would have been possible at all, and it would have been impossible for them to repel the Ming army many times in the future, and I am afraid that they would have been completely wiped out in the Ming army's attack not long ago.

If Li Xuan is disheartened, ignores the world or simply disbands the Tang Dynasty, and everyone plays their own games, the foundation of the Tang Dynasty will be completely finished.

Even if this is not the case, according to the occurrence of such natural disasters in previous dynasties, the Son of Heaven will often issue an edict against himself.

And this kind of thing is absolutely not allowed by Liu Bagou, and it is also what Wang Wenhua does not want to see.

In the past half a year, Wang Wenhua has also found a new hope in life in the Tang Dynasty, although the Tang Dynasty is small, but he is the second ranked civil official among these thousands of people, which is much more majestic than when he used to be a teacher in a small mountain village.

So he followed closely behind Liu Bagou, and also knelt down with a snap, and kowtowed directly: "This time the rain fell from the sky, the sin is not in the sky, but in the unfavorable handling of the ministers, this is a man-made disaster rather than a natural disaster, and the ministers are unfavorable, please surrender your majesty!" ”

Looking at the actions of Liu Bagou and Wang Wenhua, Fang Dongquan was speechless, they couldn't understand why these two people suddenly became like this, since they couldn't understand it, then they would treat it as if they couldn't see it, just watch the play on the sidelines.

If you rush in, you will easily be buried by the two bastards Liu Bagou and Wang Wenhua, who have a bad stomach!

At this time, Li Xuan also took his eyes back from the door, looked down at Liu Bagou and Wang Wenhua who were kneeling on the ground, and then waved his hand lightly: "Get up!" ”

At the same time, he looked around the crowd, wondering how to open his mouth and tell his plans to these courtiers.

I don't know if the plan I came up with in the past few days will scare them!
