Chapter 273: Money and Food, Money and Food

The little boy is in danger, but Li Shimin is not happy.

The counties in the north sent it to the county, and the farther north went, the more severe the disaster became, and the farther south, the less disaster was affected. There is little snow in the south and more snow in the north, and many southerners have never seen snow in their lives.

Further south, people in Southeast Asia have never seen snow in their entire lives.

Li Shimin looked at the fold, his brows furrowed slightly, he didn't expect that this year's snow disaster would be so serious, and many people had already frozen to death and starved to death, which was a very bad situation.

Since becoming the emperor, Li Shimin has been conscientious, and he can be said to be the most dedicated and caring emperor in the whole of China.

"In this case, you have to spend a lot of money. If this matter cannot be handled well, I am afraid that it will cause a civil uprising. Li Shimin sighed, he didn't feel sorry for the money, but he didn't know if the money and food could go smoothly in the hands of the people.

At the same time, countless people affected by the disaster are flocking to Chang'an, Luoyang and other places.

The next day, the morning dynasty.

Still as before, the civil officials began to fight each other again, and the generals sat in their positions one by one and watched the excitement without saying a word.

Li Shimin looked at the ministers below and spoke slowly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that it is snowing heavily and the people are displaced, what do you think Aiqing should do?" Li Shimin opened his mouth and said.

"Returning to Your Majesty, you should open a warehouse to release grain, let the people survive this winter, and wait until the beginning of spring, and then let the people return to their original places to cultivate." A figure stood up and said, it was Wei Zheng: "Your Majesty, although this snow disaster is serious, but my Datang has already had enough food and clothing, why are you afraid of this small disaster?" ”

Hearing Wei Zheng's words, many people's brows furrowed slightly, especially those officials with five surnames and seven wangs, and they didn't know what to think about one by one.

Everyone is well-fed, but those real people may not really have enough food and clothing.

"Well, that's true, then open a warehouse and release grain, so that the people can live a stable winter." Li Shimin said.

"No, Your Majesty, never!" However, a figure stood up and said, "The grain in the warehouse is military food, if this grain is given to the people, what will the soldiers eat?" With no food in the army, how can it resist Goguryeo in the north, how can it resist the Western Turks, and how can it defend against the Tibetans? ”

"Your Majesty, the people are important, but the army is even more important, and if there is nothing to eat in the army, the country will inevitably be destroyed." Another figure stood up and said: "Now that more than half of the autumn grain has been eaten, the army is also waiting for the grain in the second half of the year, if it is misappropriated now, then the army will have nothing to eat in the second half of the year." ”

"Your Majesty, the people are suffering, and there are still roots of grass and trees to make, if there is no food in the warehouse, the army will inevitably run out of food, and the people in the army can't be allowed to eat grass and trees, right?"

“……”

Hou Junji and other generals stood up and said, I have to say that although Li Shimin will be called Tian Khan in the future, these surrounding minority tribes still come up from time to time to take a bite, and then call themselves ministers, then bite again, and then call themselves ministers again.

Over and over again, endlessly.

When they can't beat it, these people will call themselves ministers, and then use some beef jerky, dried fish and the like to come to Datang in exchange for a large number of gold, silver, jewelry and grain.

Therefore, in the end of the Tang Dynasty, the wars between the surrounding minority tribes and the Tang Dynasty never stopped. Tubo and the Tang Dynasty fought for hundreds of years, from the establishment of the Tang Dynasty to the demise of the Tang Dynasty.

The armament of the Tang Dynasty is still very important, which is one of the reasons why the early Tang Dynasty was strong.

"So ......" Li Shimin's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, the grain in the warehouses in various places couldn't be opened, how could this be good?

"The snow disaster in the sky, I think it is the Son of Heaven who is immoral, if His Majesty can make an edict against himself, then I think this snow disaster will pass." Wang Jue stood up with a smile and said.

"Your Majesty, this calamity is a warning from heaven, and I heard that in order to build a road, Your Majesty actually ordered people to secretly capture the people of various tribes of the grassland as slaves, which is against the will of heaven." Cui Gan smiled slightly, and said: "There is a way that God has the virtue of a good life, and His Majesty's actions have already angered the sky, so the sky has sent a warning." ”

"That's true, this snow disaster is because Your Majesty has lost his benevolence, and he should release the slaves and ask for God's blessing."

"Your Majesty should issue an edict against himself!"

"The ministers seconded the proposal."

“……”

This is a rare opportunity, these civil officials led by five surnames and seven wangs, if they don't take the opportunity to make trouble, how can they still be them, how can these people let it go? If the emperor makes an edict against himself, then his prestige will inevitably decline, which is what they are most willing to see.

Fighting for power with the emperor has always been the dream of all ministers, who doesn't want to have more power in their hands?

"This ......" Li Shimin's face became even more embarrassed, who thought it was a simple matter, but who would have thought that it would become like this?

"Hahaha...... Trees sprout in spring, trees bloom in summer, everything is harvested in autumn, and everything snows in winter, this is the way of heaven, the way of heaven is like this, what does it have to do with Your Majesty? It didn't snow that day in the winter? It's just that this year's winter snow is bigger and longer. ”

"Father, the child is willing to offer 100,000 pieces of cloth to buy food and relieve the victims." At this time, Princess Gaoyang stood up and said, "If it is not enough, Erchen is willing to sell the mansion in exchange for food for relief to the victims." As long as everyone can lend a hand, this snow disaster will naturally pass, although the snow disaster is ruthless, but people are merciful, my princess is willing to save money, only eat one meal a day, in order to show my disaster relief. ”

As soon as Princess Gao Yang's words came out, the audience became extremely quiet. Hearing Princess Gaoyang's words, Li Shimin nodded slightly, among all the children, it was really Gao Yang who was the most intimate, and then looked at the prince and Li Tai, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Among the officials who forced the palace just now, there are more or less shadows of these two children.

However, everyone looked at Princess Gao Yang with a hint of anger on their faces. Don't you see that everyone is persecuting the emperor? You are a woman's family, and now you support the emperor, what do you want?

"Hmph, woman's opinion, woman's opinion!" Wang Jue looked at Princess Gaoyang with a sneer, and said: "This snow disaster is a warning from the heavens, and you also have a share, if you didn't interfere in the government affairs, how could the snow disaster be so big?" ”

"That's right, a woman's interference in politics is a sign of chaos in the country, and it will snow heavily, which is a warning to Your Majesty." The dog leg beside Wang Jue hurriedly stood up and said.

"Your Majesty, this time you should not only issue an edict against yourself, but also drive the woman out of the court!"

"That's right, the woman's family should just face each other at home and teach her children, how can you tell you about the affairs of the court?"

"A woman's interference in politics is a harbinger of the destruction of the country!"
