White snowflakes once again drifted in the sky, and the particles were not large.

Some people think that goose feathers are the big snow, but in fact, the opposite is true: the larger the snowflakes, the shorter the snow will be.

On the other hand, snowflakes that don't look big will snow for a longer time.

Ten days ago, it rained for two days and two nights, crushing many houses, and covering the earth with a thick layer of silver.

But now it was snowing heavily, the sky was overcast, and the fog was so foggy that it was impossible to see the distance.

"Your Highness, this is a good omen, there will be no shortage of water in the coming year, it will definitely be a big harvest year!" On the carriage, Niu Da looked at the snowflakes outside the car and introduced it with an excited smile.

Ruixue is a good year, this is true, but if the snow is too heavy, it may not be a good thing.

Li Yuanjing can't be said to know the history by heart, but Li Yuanjing still knows a little about the famous Li Shimin, at least he has learned about some major events.

For example, during the locust plague this summer, Li Shimin swallowed a locust and said: 'The people take the grain as their life, and you eat it, and you would rather eat my lungs and intestines.' This kind of showmanship.

The background of this sentence is derived from the slight drought that began in the ninth year of Wude, and the drought continued to expand in the first year of Zhenguan, reaching its peak in the second year of Zhenguan, when a terrifying locust plague broke out.

Historically, it was not that locusts were not eaten, but there were not enough locusts to eat, because by the time the people remembered to eat locusts, the locusts had already flown away, and they could only catch a small number of locusts in the air, and could not feed on large quantities.

Li Yuanjing's proposal was to mobilize the people of all counties to catch locusts before the locust plague broke out completely, so that the number of locusts would increase countless times and provide food, so that they could barely survive the drought in the second year of Zhenguan.

However, when everyone was thanking the world for these snows and thinking that next year would definitely be smooth, God gave Li Shimin a hammer.

That's right, in the three years of Zhenguan's history, there was indeed no drought that the people feared most, but there was a flood.

This is also why Li Yuanjing strongly demanded that the plan to repair the road with work for relief be changed to repair the river, and there are some things he can't say clearly, so he can only find a reliable excuse.

However, the imperial court seems to be more interested in building roads, and the rivers have only repaired some large rivers, and other small water conservancy facilities have not been substantially improved.

"What is the price of grain in Beijing now?" Li Yuanjing was not as happy as Niu Da, although the river was partially repaired, Li Yuanjing still felt that there would be waterlogging in Zhenguan for three years.

"Doumi is three hundred and sixty yuan, and it snowed before, which has lowered the price of grain a lot." The cow laughed in response.

The price of grain has little to do with them, Huangzhuang belongs to Ueda, and even in a disaster year, they have enough grain to support, so they don't have to buy grain.

Grain merchants are relatively chicken thieves, if it does not snow, they will definitely not reduce the price, snow means that there will be no big drought next year, at least this year's situation will not happen.

When the people have a harvest, there will be new grain entering the market, and if they continue to sell at a high price, their profits can be maximized, and they are afraid that this batch of grain will be smashed into their own hands.

Therefore, the best way is to sell at a reduced price, and use the method of ladder price reduction to ensure the maximum benefit while clearing the warehouse.

"Always pay attention to the price of grain, and notify the king when the price is lowered!" Li Yuanjing thought about it for a while, and was a little unsure.

Grain is still too expensive, three hundred and sixty yuan for rice, ten buckets is one stone, that is, one hundred and twenty catties, and it takes three thousand six hundred yuan to buy one stone.

But the early Tang Dynasty was a strange era, according to common sense, a thousand dollars should be consistent, but in fact, seven hundred dollars can be regarded as consistent.

Originally, a grain merchant could buy a stone of grain for 600 yuan, but now it may take more than 100 yuan to buy a consistent grain.

Even if you take out 10,000 yuan, you can only buy less than 2,000 stone of grain at most.

"Your Highness, we have arrived!" The groom outside the car reminded.

Li Yuanjing tightened the clothes on his body, this ghost weather, he really didn't want to get out of the carriage.

Standing on the carriage and looking at the endless white earth, you can vaguely see the wooden stake that leaks out, this is the boundary of the earth.

The land of Zheng and Wang was sandwiched in the middle, dividing a piece of Li Yuanjing's land into two plots of land that were not connected to each other.

"Your Highness, my father asked earlier, the two families have no intention of selling land!" The eldest grandson said with a red face.

"If it's this king, it won't be sold!" Li Yuanjing smiled.

If it hadn't been for the locust plague last year, they would have been able to produce even if there was a drought, and although the river was less, it had not completely dried up, which was their advantage and the status of Ueda.

In the harvest year, because of the abundance of water, the yield is higher than that of others, and in the era of cultivation, the land represents power.

Especially this kind of patches of Ueda, although the entire Tang Dynasty is a uniform field system, most of the land is scattered, and some are even divided into seven or eight different places.

Another criterion for land price is to see whether there is a contiguous piece, and the price of the contiguous piece is naturally much higher than that of other scattered land.

"Go to Wang's house!" Li Yuanjing waved his hand and got into the car directly.

The head of the Wang family is Wang Qi, who has just succeeded Gao Shilian this year, but he is the agent.

The Wang family in the world came out of Taiyuan, which was Li Shimin's affirmation of the Wang family later.

The ancestor of the Wang clan in the world is the crown prince Jin of King Zhou Ling, who has a history of more than 1,600 years.

Each surname has a long history, but it is not possible to judge whether it is a family by the length of time, but to see how many talents there are, talent means power, means status.

In addition to the surname of the ancestor Prince Jin, the most famous talent in the Wang family next came to his eighteenth grandson, the Qin Dynasty general Wang Qian, Wang Ben, and Wang Li's ancestors and grandchildren.

Later, there were too many princes and descendants who had been eunuchs and other feudal officials to count, and in the Tang Dynasty, they became the acting servants of Wang Qi, although they were agents, but they could be regarded as worshipping the prime minister.

The history of the Li family can only be traced back to Li Hao, the founding monarch of Xiliang during the Sixteen Kingdoms period, with a history of more than 200 years.

Not to mention that compared with the 1,600-year-old Wang family, they can't compare with any family, if it weren't for the halo bonus of the royal family, the Li family would be far away if they wanted to step into the ranks of the family.

"Your Highness, my father said let me remind you not to go to the Zheng and Wang families to do things......" The eleven-year-old eldest grandson shrunk his body and muttered quietly, it was too risky to say this, and he would not be beaten by King Zhao to relieve his anger.

"Tell me why!" Li Yuanjing smiled, don't you go to the two to do things? So how do you count this land?

Just let the two of them be caught between themselves?

They haven't even settled accounts with them about sending people to spy on the military situation before, unless they give up the land in the middle, otherwise, even if they are splashing and rolling, they will have to deal with them, which is really uncomfortable!

"I don't know the specifics, my dad only said that everyone is satisfied with the current result!" The eldest grandson shook his head.

Li Yuanjing understood that the cause and effect of the Zheng family was on Zheng Shanguo, and Cheng Zhijie reminded himself that the Zheng family used food to protect Zheng Shanguo's Qizhou Thorn History.

Now that the eldest grandson Wuji said so again, the result is already obvious, the food given by the Zheng family is not enough for the imperial court to provide disaster relief, and the Wang family obviously gave it too.

Now think about the time when Wang Qi served as the acting servant, although Gao Shilian was deposed because of the locust plague, but Li Shimin, who is bent on weakening the family, will definitely not easily give the position of the servant to the Wang family.

Have you PY enough to make this king in a dilemma?

Li Yuanjing snorted lightly: "This king is very dissatisfied!" ”
