The landscape is dictated, and the sister-in-law is sorted out.

[The following is the text]

……

……

The night has passed, and it is early in the morning, but the fish belly in the east is not white, and the sky is still dark, but the Datang convoy has already set up camp, and the carriages and horses are like dragons lying across the earth.

In ancient times, it was extremely difficult to walk, and it was a difficult trek, and there was a word called tiring travel, which meant the hardships of hurrying.

The road was uneven, the carriage and horses were shaking, Li Shimin sat in the car and gradually became anxious, feeling a faint pantothenia in his waist and knees, the emperor suddenly picked up the curtain of the car, and asked outside the car: "Who will tell me, how far is it?" ”

The question seemed to be peaceful, but the tone was obviously impatient, a group of guards on the side of the car looked at each other, and the leading general of the Hundred Cavalry Division replied cautiously: "Your Majesty, we have passed Fanyang, not far in front of Youzhou, out of Youzhou is Yuguan, after arriving at Yuguan, we have to cross the Liao River, and then go forward two hundred miles, you can reach the head of Bohai City." ”

The general replied extremely carefully, but Li Shimin frowned, and suddenly snorted coldly: "It's been three months since I left Chang'an, and now I haven't even reached Youzhou, there are still eight hundred miles from Youzhou to the Liao River, and two hundred miles from the Liao River to the Bohai Sea, so many thousand miles away, when will we be able to reach ......?"

The emperor paused at this point, muttered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Can you let the convoy speed up?" I want to reach the Bohai Sea within ten days. ”

The general of the Hundred Cavalry Division hesitated for a moment, and only after a long time did he cautiously reply: "I'm afraid this won't work, it will be difficult to reach in ten days, and the convoy is too large to travel a hundred miles a day." ”

He took a breath lightly and whispered: "Your Majesty, you also know that the convoy is followed by hundreds of people, those people are dragging their families, and there are many old and weak widows, if the convoy accelerates, the people will inevitably be left behind, and the time will ......."

The general didn't dare to say anything more when he said this, and hung his head and waited quietly for the emperor to make a decision.

Sure enough, I only heard Li Shimin sigh lightly and muttered: "Yes, there are too many people behind the convoy." I want to speed up, that is, I want to shorten the travel time, the shorter the time is reduced, the less hardships the people will suffer, but unfortunately I can't speed up, otherwise the people will be left behind. ”

This is a contradiction that the emperor cannot solve.

The longer the rush time, the easier it is for the people to get tired, but they can't speed up the journey, otherwise the people will be left behind, so since leaving Chang'an, the Datang team has been rushing slowly, like an old ox pulling a cart, every day to walk dozens of miles, two thousand miles of road for three months, it is no different from a snail climbing the wall, when the spring flowers are blooming, and now it has reached the height of summer.

It's not terrible to walk slowly, it's terrible that the logistics supplies can't keep up, Li Shimin's original plan was to drive out of the customs, and bring the Tang Dynasty civil and military officials with him at the same time, so that every place must be greeted, and the monarchs and ministers will not lack food. But the emperor did not expect that the people would follow him.

The so-called follow him, in fact, I want to go to Bohai, there are too many poor people in the world, and if they can't live, they will have to struggle and struggle, and Li Yun's name as the God of Wealth is powerful all over the world, and the common people fantasize about being able to go to Bohai City to beg for a bite to eat.

Li Shimin can't control this kind of thing.

It is said that it can't be managed, but in fact, it is reluctant to manage, Datang has a strict household registration system, and the people are not allowed to leave their homes without permission, as long as the emperor gives an order, which people dare to leave their homeland? But Li Shimin did not give the order and let the people follow the convoy.

When I first left Chang'an, only a few thousand people followed, after all, Chang'an is the imperial capital, and it is difficult to starve to death in the land of Guanlong, so there are not many people who choose to leave home, and most of the thousands of people who choose to follow are to make a fortune, they are not unable to live, but want to go to Bohai to fight for a better future.

These thousands of Chang'an people are special and not within the scope of the emperor's care, but as the convoy continues to advance, more and more people gradually join along the way, and this is the real poor people, almost dragging their families and following the convoy to escape.

These people are Li Shimin's headache.

There are 70,000 or 80,000 people, all of them are poor people waiting to be fed, there is no food in the destitute family, and every bite of food and drink has to rely on others to help, 780,000 people are 780,000 mouths, and 780,000 mouths have to eat at least two meals a day, plus the 5,000 Xuanjia iron horsemen who opened the road in the convoy, and the 5,000 royal guards who escorted the convoy, and there were also 2,000 cavalrymen, as well as hundreds of courtiers who drove out of the entire court......

It's not that I don't know, I'm shocked, there are 100,000 people, and I need to eat and drink every day, if I count the cattle and horses pulled by the convoy, the forage consumption is also a terrifying number, and the pressure of supply in the later stage is so huge, no wonder even Li Shimin wants to shorten the travel time.

The Emperor felt like he couldn't hold it anymore.

This sounds like a joke, but in ancient times, it was really like this, it was very simple to lead an army of 100,000 in ancient times, but it was not easy to lead 100,000 people in ancient times, even the emperor of the Tang Dynasty had to have a numb scalp when he did this kind of thing.

At this time, the sky gradually brightened, and finally a touch of morning glow finally appeared in the east, Li Shimin suddenly stood up from the royal car, and said in a deep voice to the hundred horsemen beside the car: "Lead me a horse." ”

The general of the hundred cavalry divisions was slightly stunned, and subconsciously said: "Your Majesty wants to ride a horse?" Could it be that the frame is too slow? ”

Li Shimin glanced at him, stood on the royal car and looked behind him, and said: "It's not that I dislike the frame being too slow, I'm worried about the people behind me, I have to ride a horse to take a look, otherwise it will be difficult to settle down." ”

"Your Majesty, no!"

The hundred cavalry division was responsible for the protection, and when he heard this, he immediately exhorted him, and said hurriedly: "There are 80,000 people in the rear, and it is difficult to distinguish between fish and dragons, Your Majesty is the body of the Son of Heaven, and I will worry about your safety in the end." ”

"!"

Li Shimin scolded angrily, and said sharply: "That's my people, how can I say that I am safe?" Don't be verbose, lead me over. ”

The hundred horsemen looked bitter, stubbornly refused to listen to the order, he guarded the royal car next to the sad face, suddenly a flash of inspiration in his mind thought of a statement, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, even if the people are kind, you can't go over, we are about to enter the land of Youyan, there are many mountains and forests and cliffs on both sides of the road, easy to defend and difficult to attack, soldiers are dangerous, and since ancient times, there are many bandits in the land of Youyan, maybe there is danger hidden in it......"

He had to continue to say more, but Li Shimin scolded him again, and said: "It's still nonsense, which bandit dares to provoke me?" There are 5,000 Xuanjia iron horsemen in front, and 5,000 royal forest troops are guarded around, so 10,000 troops, birds and beasts have to be scattered, don't say more, lead the horses over. ”

The general of the Hundred Cavalry Division was full of sorrow, and Ai Ai refused to obey his orders!

Li Shimin suddenly raised a foot, stood on the imperial car and directly kicked the general off the horse, and then the emperor jumped at his feet, and actually jumped on the war horse of the general of the hundred cavalry division, the hundred cavalry division fell to the ground and rolled a few times, hurriedly got up and ran to him, and begged bitterly: "Your Majesty, even if you are worried about the people, please hold off a little, and wait for the last general to bring people to guard the surroundings, and Your Majesty can ride a horse to inspect." ”

This is a word of loyalty, Li Shimin finally nodded and said, "I will give you ten breathing time." ”

The general of the Hundred Cavalry Division nodded hurriedly, turned around and scolded a group of soldiers to come over, and in the blink of an eye, he formed a guard of five hundred people, carefully escorting Li Shimin to gallop on horseback.

As soon as the emperor moved, it naturally attracted the attention of the ministers, and soon many ministers left their carriages, and those generals had already ridden their horses and chased the emperor.

The convoy of Datang out of the customs this time is huge, stretching for five or six miles before and after, and behind the huge convoy, there is an even larger caravan, but unfortunately the caravan is loaded with goods, and it is too rare to see materials such as grain. After crossing the convoy and the huge caravan, behind are tens of thousands of people dragging their families and mouths, as the old saying goes, more than 10,000 people, boundless, more than 80,000 people put into an extremely large trek long line, the team stretched for thirty or forty miles, Li Shimin rode a horse along the way to check, a pair of tiger eyes gradually became unbearable.

The situation of the people is so pitiful!

Because of the trek with the family, the situation of each family is different, so it seems to be a huge team that stretches for thirty or forty miles, but at close range, you will find that they are all small groups of trekking, most of these teams are family units, and they often have to sit on the side of the road to rest after walking hundreds of steps.

When resting, children are crying, adults are anxious, some women with yellow faces and thin muscles have no scruples to untie their chests, so numb to sit on the ground to feed the children, but unfortunately where can there be milk, children cry more fiercely after eating for a long time.

So some scrawny men went into the mountains by the roadside, hoping to find something to feed their stomachs, but unfortunately they often came empty-handed, and the children cried even more pitifully, and the women sighed numbly.

The more Li Shimin looked at it, the more unbearable he became, a pair of tiger eyes gradually showed a strong murderous aura, at this time, a group of courtiers galloped after him, and the emperor suddenly roared at a certain courtier, and shouted: "Eldest grandson Wuji, how did you become a household secretary?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji is the queen's brother, and the emperor rarely calls him by his name, but at this moment, he directly calls out his name, which shows how angry the emperor is in his heart.

A group of courtiers observed the words, and no one dared to speak at this time, only the eldest grandson Wuji was named, so he could only ride over on horseback and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this matter is a dereliction of duty on the part of the minister, and the minister has sent several letters in a row, asking Chang'an to quickly transport a batch of grain." ”

"Let them use the treasury and pull all the grain from last year." Li Shimin said in a cold voice, and then said: "I will order emergency support from all parts of Hebei again, and how much grain will be sent to me." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled bitterly and said: "Hebei Province has been poor for too long, and there are barely some signs of recovery in the past two years, but they can only ensure that they will not starve the people to death, and they can't take out a single grain of excess food." ”

Li Shimin was furious, and suddenly waved his horsewhip heavily, and said: "I sealed the young slave in Hebei, so that he inherited the land that Li Yun painstakingly built, and all the princes envied his good luck, but he couldn't even take out a grain of grain......

This temper is unreasonable, the eldest grandson Wuji can only smile bitterly again, and carefully explain: "Although King Yan inherited the land of Hebei, but after all, the inheritance time is too short, there is only one Fan Yang City in the whole Hebei, King Yan wants to use Fan Yang City to support the people, he is only ten years old this year, and it is already a great virtue to be able to guarantee that the people did not starve to death." ”

Li Shimin snorted coldly, and stopped speaking with a gloomy face.

After a while, the emperor suddenly spoke again: "Where is the family's grain?" The Zheng clan of Xingyang promised to give four million stones, and the Cui clan of Qinghe, they also promised to give five hundred thousand stones......"

This is what was agreed before leaving Chang'an.

At that time, Li Yun sent a silk book, a book about five things, and then Li Shimin raised a butcher's knife and directly slaughtered the Taiyuan Wang family, and the Zheng family of Xingyang directly gave four million stone grain as a price in order to save his life, nominally as a dowry for Linglong, but in fact, he bought his life from Li Shimin.

In addition, Qinghe Cui's wealthy families also promised to give food as a favor.

At this time, Li Shimin saw the situation of the people, and suddenly remembered the grain promised by the family, but unfortunately, the eldest grandson Wuji smiled bitterly again, and suddenly beckoned to the back: "Patriarch Zheng, patriarch of the Cui clan, don't hide behind, come over and explain to Your Majesty." ”

Li Shimin's eyes flashed and he looked behind him.

The two ministers there were full of guilt, one of them was the patriarch of the Zheng clan in Xingyang, this person bowed cautiously and said: "Please also ask Your Majesty to atone for your sins, it is not easy to transport grain, my Zheng family promised to give four million stone grain, but the granary was built in Xingyang, and three months ago it began to organize carriages and horses, and a total of 200,000 stone grain was transported." ”

The other person was the patriarch of the Cui clan in Qinghe, and he also explained: "The Cui clan transported a batch of grain from the Qinghe granary, and there were as many as 200,000 stones. ”

"Where's the grain?" Li Shimin interrupted abruptly, and asked coldly, "Why haven't I seen it?" ”

The two patriarchs glanced at each other and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, I have already eaten!" ”

This answer made Li Shimin stunned.

The eldest grandson Wuji next to him cautiously explained, and said: "100,000 people, walking for three months, eating horses and chewing every day, the cost is extremely huge, the 200,000 stone grain transported by the Zheng family, and the 200,000 stone transported by the Cui family, have been consumed and emptied, and they are not lying about this." ”

"!"

Li Shimin shouted loudly, and said angrily: "You don't know how to deceive me? How can 100,000 people eat 400,000 stone of grain? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji bowed his head helplessly, and said with a smile: "100,000 people, 400,000 stones, each person is spread out, only four stones......"

The rest of the words were not said again, but Li Shimin had already understood.

How much is Four Stone Grain?

Four hundred pounds!

Four hundred catties sounds like a lot, but the Datang convoy has been gone for three months......

The ancient people did not have enough oil and water in their stomachs, so they ate much more food than later generations, and an adult man had to consume three catties of food a day, which was difficult to eat, and it was easier to be hungry after a long journey.

Li Shimin took a deep breath, and suddenly looked at the two family patriarchs, and asked Sen Ran, "What about the rest of the grain?" Each of you has promised more than 200,000 stones. ”

The patriarch of the Zheng clan in Xingyang hurriedly spoke, saying, "Weichen has sent letters many times to urge, and all the remaining 1.8 million stones will be shipped to the Bohai Sea. ”

The patriarch of the Cui clan followed closely and said, "The minister has also sent letters many times to urge that the second batch of grain has been transported on the way. ”

Li Shimin was not satisfied with this explanation, and Sen Ran asked again: "I don't listen to your words, I only ask how long it will take for the grain to arrive?" ”

The two patriarchs of the family looked at each other, and at the same time lowered their heads cautiously, needless to say, they knew that the food would not be able to be transported in a short time.

Li Shimin's eyes were angry, and he was about to roar when he opened his mouth, but suddenly the emperor's pupils shrank, and he looked at the distance in front of him in a daze, the emperor's face was stunned, and he stretched out his hand and pulled the eldest grandson Wuji next to him and said: "Wuji, you help me to see, is there something wrong with my eyes, just now the figure over there flashed, and it seemed that I saw a bald young man, that kid looked extremely familiar, it looked like, it looked like ......"

The eldest grandson Wuji looked up curiously, but unfortunately he didn't find any suspicious person, this Tang Dynasty Household Shangshu was full of confusion, and asked Li Shimin in a low voice: "Who did Your Majesty see?" ”

Li Shimin suddenly took a light breath and said, "I look like that stinky boy, but unfortunately he is a bald little monk, I guess I am wrong, I always miss that stinky boy every time I encounter a problem." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji's eyes flashed, and he suddenly realized and asked, "What Your Majesty said is not the Lord of the Bohai Sea?" ”

Li Shimin stared at the direction just now, and muttered to himself: "It shouldn't be him, this stinky boy should be busy building a city in Bohai." ”

After the emperor said this, for some reason, the corners of his mouth suddenly hooked up a touch of arc, and it seemed that his mood suddenly became much better, and he suddenly turned his horse's head and said: "Wait for me to go back, the inspection is over, today's convoy will continue to be held in the morning, and all the families will be sent to my royal car." ”

As he spoke, he didn't wait for everyone's reaction, and galloped away with a horsewhip, and suddenly remembered a loud laugh, and I don't know why the emperor suddenly became happy.
