Chang'an has always been well-informed, coupled with Li Jiancheng's operation, many people in Chang'an know that the imperial court is short of food and are ready to buy it from the people.

For a time, the price of grain in Chang'an soared.

Qin Wu quickly sent news to Qin Tian.

"Brother Tian, the grain has risen sharply, and there is no intention of lowering it at all, I'm afraid it can only come down after the new grain is harvested."

After Qin Wu sent the news, Qin Tian's face sank.

He knew that the price of grain might rise, but he didn't expect it to rise so fast, and he originally wanted to let Fu Bo buy some more, but now the price of grain is rising too fast, and he will lose money if he buys again.

Qin Tian walked back and forth in the living room, and couldn't think of a better way for a while.

At the same time, what was more anxious than Qin Tian was Zhao Jing, the head of the household.

Li Yuan told him to raise enough food no matter what, but now that the price of food is soaring, the household department has so much money to buy?

Zhao Jing can become the head of the household, so he must be a capable person.

So he also thought about buying from other big families, after all, they have a lot of land and a lot of grain, but who would have thought that after he went to inquire, these people were either unwilling to sell, or the price was extremely high, which was higher than the price in the market, so how could he buy it?

Zhao Jing had no choice but to enter the palace and tell Li Yuan about the situation.

"Holy Lord, the price of food has risen too much now, and the household department is afraid that it will not be able to bear it."

Li Yuan frowned and shouted: "These people are really hateful, they even want to make war money, they know that my Datang needs food now, and they are still like this." ”

Li Yuan was angry, but he couldn't solve the problem.

The two of them stared at each other, and after a long time, Zhao was shocked: "Shengshang, if you can't help the bar, after banning winemaking, maybe you can get some more food." ”

The food needed for Datang's annual brewing has always been a large amount, and if alcohol is banned, it will indeed produce a lot of grain, but it is difficult to say whether the ban on alcohol can reduce grain prices.

If it is a market economy, it will certainly be able to lower the price of grain, but if it is controlled artificially, it will be somewhat difficult.

However, this is also a method that the two of them can think of at present, so Li Yuan nodded and agreed.

On the afternoon of the day Li Yuan agreed, Chang'an City issued a ban on alcohol, but anyone who made wine was immediately arrested, fined at the lightest, and exiled at the worst.

As soon as the prohibition came out, many liquor shops wanted to cry without tears.

The price of food was not raised because of them, so why did they forbid them to make money?

The grain in many wineries has already been brewed, and once the ban is issued, although they can continue to brew, they can only stock up, and they are afraid that they will not be able to sell it for a while.

Prohibition spread in Chang'an, but the price of grain did not seem to have been affected.

The more Prohibition was placed, the higher the price of food became.

Everyone is not stupid, the court has issued a ban on alcohol, it is obviously a lack of food to do this, they don't take advantage of this opportunity to make money, it would be too stupid.

After Zhao Jing found out about this situation, there was still no way to do it.

---------------------

Qin Tian was the first to know about the prohibition of alcohol, but although he knew about it, he was not affected too much.

He was only worried about the high price of grain, and if the household department could not buy grain, Li Shimin's situation on the front line would be very dangerous.

After thinking about it, Qin Tian felt that he could only take a risk.

Before this evening, Qin Tian quietly came to the Nine Princesses' Mansion.

The Nine Princesses' Mansion in early summer is still very quiet, with only a few cicadas chirping.

In a delicate flower garden, Qin Tian found the Ninth Princess.

At this time, the ninth princess was tending to the flowers and plants inside, but after learning that Qin Tian was coming, she behaved very plainly, and she didn't even say hello, she was still tending to the flowers and plants.

Obviously, the reward was in the royal ranch, and Qin Tian's poem hurt him.

"The ...... of the Nine Princesses"

Qin Tian shouted outside the flower garden, but the ninth princess pretended not to hear, Qin Tian was very helpless, and finally could only take the risk and walked over.

"Your Highness the Princess."

This time, it would be a bit too much for the Ninth Princess to pretend not to hear, she turned her head and saw that it was Qin Tian, her expression was still calm.

"What's the matter?"

"There is one thing, I hope the ninth princess can help."

The ninth princess wanted to resist, but she couldn't help but want to help in her heart, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Now the imperial court is raising grain and grass, but the food in the world is being coaxed very much, I want to invite Her Royal Highness the princess to come into the palace and offer advice to the saint."

"Why don't you go yourself?"

"It's not appropriate for me to go."

The ninth princess was a little hesitant, she naturally knew that Qin Tian was doing this to save Li Shimin, but she didn't have a good relationship with Li Shimin, if she helped with this favor, wouldn't it be equivalent to helping Li Shimin?

However, after a while, the Ninth Princess still decided to help Qin Tian, and when she came, she knew very well what the consequences would be for Datang if she lost this battle.

If a country wants others not to bully you, the most effective way is to win the war, and only if you win the war, they will not dare to despise you and dare not attack you.

"If you have any clever plans, say them and listen to them, if it is not good, this princess will never help you with this."

"This plan is naturally a clever plan......

Qin Tian told the Ninth Princess about his clever plan, and after the Ninth Princess heard it, her brows condensed slightly, and she said, "What kind of trick are you, it's too bloody and not good for my Datang." ”

Qin Tiandao: "Her Royal Highness the princess just tell the saint, I believe the saint will definitely agree." ”

The ninth princess glared at Qin Tian, but there was really no way, and said, "I am only responsible for saying it, whether it is successful or not, I dare not promise you." ”

"As long as the ninth princess goes to say it."

The ninth princess snorted, but she didn't stop at the mansion for long, and got into the carriage and rushed to the palace.

When the ninth princess entered the palace, Zhao Jing had just left, and he reported the current situation to Li Yuan, and Li Yuan felt more and more angry when he heard that the prohibition of alcohol could not control the price of grain.

"Damn, hateful, these villains who mislead the country, mislead the country." Li Yuan was very angry at the big landlords of the big families who held the grain and refused to sell it, and felt that they were simply forcing him to Datang.

And at this time, a eunuch hurriedly ran in: "Holy Lord, the ninth princess asks to see." ”

"What is the matter with Xiao Jiu?"

"This slave doesn't know, and the ninth princess refuses to say it."

Li Yuan nodded: "Let her in." ”

Not long after, the ninth princess walked in from outside, and Li Yuan was not in a good mood, so without waiting for him to salute, he asked, "Is there something wrong with entering the palace?" ”

The ninth princess said: "I came to relieve my father's worries." ”

Hearing this, Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, a little interested, and asked, "Do you know what my father is worried about now?" ”
