Chapter 473: Crisis

The fish seller found out that it was the king of Shu who bought the fish, where was he willing to collect money.

But Li Su, as a festival envoy, naturally would not ask for the people's things in vain, so he insisted that Xiao Liuzi gave him a thousand yuan.

Next, Li Su took this fish and came to Baihuatan.

The actions of Li Su, the king of Shu, attracted countless pedestrians, and they followed the king of Shu to Baihuatan.

After arriving at Baihuatan, the king of Shu untied the straw rope wearing the gills of the crucian carp and put the crucian carp into the water of Baihuatan.

These pedestrians suddenly realized.

It turned out that the king of Shu bought this crucian carp for release.

It's just that this crucian carp has been out of the water for so long, even if it is released, will it still survive?

Suddenly, countless pairs of eyes stared closely at the crucian carp released by the King of Shu.

And then, to their surprise, a scene appeared.

They actually felt that the crucian carp released by the King of Shu seemed to have grown larger when it entered the water.

The red on his body is also deeper and deeper.

Originally, it was just a red-tailed crucian carp, but now, it seems to be half red.

This discovery made them doubt their eyes, and they thought that they must be hallucinating.

And the next moment, after the crucian carp entered the water, its body first tilted, and the fish's belly turned half, and it was seen that it would not live long.

But in just a moment, the crucian carp regained its vitality and became cheerful.

The fish swam more and more happily, but it was always around Li Su and refused to leave.

Li Su smiled slightly and said to it, "Go ahead!" ”

The fish nodded three times at Li Su in the water, and then swam to the middle of the pool, and soon disappeared.

This scene couldn't help but amaze the pedestrians who followed and shouted that this trip was worth it.

Unexpectedly, this crucian carp is so spiritual and knows how to be grateful.

……

After going back, in the Yizhou Monthly, Li ordered Xia Yuntian, the editor-in-chief of the Yizhou Monthly, to start writing articles focusing on Doudou and Xiaocai.

In Xia Yuntian's pen, Doudou has simply become a divine dog descended from the gods.

Xiaocai has also become a sacred bird.

After this publicity, whether it is Doudou or Xiaocai, they are all famous.

Many tourists come for these two pets.

And after meeting Doudou and Xiaocai, they found out that what was reported in the Yizhou Monthly News turned out to be true.

These two pets are really too godly.

Before you know it, a cold snap hits, the north wind blows, and the weather gradually gets colder.

It's just November, and there's a thick layer of ice on the water.

This year's summer was very hot and the winter was exceptionally cold.

This kind of weather made Li Shimin deeply worried.

It's just November, and the weather is so cold, once you enter the wax moon, how cold will it be?

In such a cold weather, I don't know how many people will freeze to death.

The weather is cold, so it is natural to add extra clothes.

Li Shimin ordered people to go to the street and ask about the price of cloth.

This year's grain harvest is still good, and it is completely affordable to buy more clothes, and I hope that too many people will not freeze to death this year.

And the news that Lux inquired about came back shocked Li Shimin.

Now the price of a raw silk has actually come to 4700 Wen.

The price of linen cloth came to 4,000 wen a horse, while the price of fine cotton silk came to 18,800 wen a horse, and the price of cheesecloth came to 4,440 wen a horse.

This price is ten times higher than the normal price!

Those people, even if they charge an extra three or five buckets per mu of land, but in the face of such a price, they can't afford it at all!

And when they couldn't afford to buy clothes, many poor people could only freeze to death.

And all this must have been done behind the scenes.

These people from these families only care about their own interests, and they don't care about the lives of the people at all, they really deserve to be killed!

But in the face of this situation, Li Shimin has no better way.

This is the market price, and Li Shimin can't use the emperor's identity to forcibly suppress it, otherwise, it will really be chaotic.

But is it just to let the price of cloth be so high, and let those poor people be frozen to death like this?

As a generation of Ming monarchs, how can Li Shimin tolerate this kind of thing?

So Li Shimin found Fang Xuanling, eldest grandson Wuji, Gao Shilian and other civil servants to discuss countermeasures.

However, in the face of this kind of problem, these ministers are helpless.

Fang Xuanling couldn't help but say angrily: "This is all a ghost behind the family, these people from the family should really be killed!" They don't care about the lives of the people at all, in their eyes, they have no home and no country, they really deserve to die! ”

Because of the existence of families such as the five surnames and seven wangs, they are hindered by many things behind their backs.

After all, they control at least seventy percent of Datang's business.

As long as they want to make trouble, it's just too easy.

Therefore, many Wenchen also hated and hated these families, but there was nothing they could do about them.

At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, the minister recommends one person, maybe you can solve this problem." ”

Li Shimin couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Auxiliary, say quickly, who can solve this problem?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, King Shu!" The minister found that in this world, there is no problem that the king of Shu can't solve! ”

Hearing the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Shimin was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but say: "Okay, then tomorrow I will summon the king of Shu to meet him." ”

Although the king of Shu was far away in Yizhou, thousands of miles away, but with the train, he sent a messenger to tell the king of Shu on the first day that the king of Shu would be able to come to Chang'an on the second day.

After having a train, it is really a confidant in the sea, and the end of the world is like a neighbor.

On the same day, Li Su received an order from the messenger.

At the same time, Li Su also learned through weaving dreams that all this was done by the eldest grandson Wuji, an old yin bi.

Although he can indeed solve this problem, the eldest grandson Lao Yin is not clear.

The eldest grandson, Lao Yinbi, recommended him, must have no good intentions.

Because this matter, whether it can be done or not, is a thankless task.

If he can't do it, the eldest grandson Lao Yinbi will definitely say that he didn't do his best and didn't care about the lives of the people.

And if it is done, then the five surnames and seven hopes will definitely hate him even more.

Therefore, after pondering for a while, Li Su decided that this time he must lengthen Sun Laoyin to go into the water.

Since you want to frame this king, you must have the consciousness of being dragged into the water.

On the second day, Li Su got on the train, and half a day later, he arrived in Chang'an.

Soon, Li Su entered the palace to face the saint.

After the meeting, Li Shimin couldn't help but ask Li Su: "Su'er, the price of cloth on the market is still high, and ordinary people can't afford it at all. And this winter seems to be very cold, and Zhao Guogong recommended you to me, I wonder if you have a good plan? ”
