"Shut up!"

"Your Majesty!" Seeing that His Majesty Li Er was furious, the two who were arguing and a few ministers who were watching the excitement bent down in unison.

"You ......"

His Majesty Li Er angrily pointed at the ministers and reprimanded angrily: "They are all important ministers of my Tang Dynasty, and I can't think of a feasible way to come out." When encountering major events, will they only blame each other? ”

"Your Majesty is angry, and the ministers are guilty!"

"The matter of raising food is the responsibility of the six ministries, and the six ministries should be in charge!"

As soon as His Majesty Li Er's words came out, the eldest grandson Wuji and Xiao Yu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and His Majesty Li Er said: "It is a matter of millions of people in Chang'an, and Jingzhao Mansion should also support it." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji opened his mouth to speak, but before he could say anything, His Majesty Li Er continued: "Xuanling Xiao Yu is my prime minister, the head of the hundred officials, and I must fully cooperate with such important matters. All the yamen must work together to get through the difficulties."

Everyone sighed in their hearts that they couldn't run this one.

After His Majesty Li Er reprimanded, his expression gradually returned to calm, and he snorted coldly and shouted: "And Chu Ze, you each come up with a plan to solve this matter, now retreat first!" We'll talk about it tomorrow morning! Remember, this matter is too important to be leaked. ”

"Minister! Obey! They bowed in answer and withdrew out of the temple.

As soon as Chu Ze heard that he was going to come up with a plan, he couldn't help but cry out in his heart while following everyone out.

Walking to the door of the Taiji Hall with the Great Demon King Cheng, Chu Ze took a deep look at the Great Demon King Cheng, what are you doing when you are idle and entering the palace.

"Alas! In the past, he worked hard to propose the method of building a reservoir and drawing a map to please His Majesty Li Er, but in the end it was a chore. Chu Ze muttered in his heart.

"Chu boy, is the Wei River really going to burst in three months?" On the way back, the Great Demon King Cheng, who had not spoken in the Taiji Hall, asked lightly.

Chu Ze said: "Almost." After a pause, Chu Ze whispered again: "Uncle Cheng, I don't know which princess is the woman I saw in the palace today?" ”

"Oh? Why, how did you kid remember to ask about the princess? Great Demon King Cheng turned around and looked at Chu Ze and said.

"It's nothing, just ask, hehe."

"Casual question? You kid had an idea when I watched it, right? When you are in the palace, the old man looks at you, and his eyes keep peeking at the princess. ”

Chu Ze whispered, "No... No. ”

Great Demon King Cheng sighed and said faintly: "That is Princess Changle, alas... Forget it. The old man advises you not to think about it. ”

It turned out that she was the princess Li Lizhi of Changle, and it was recorded in the chronicles: "The princess is rich in Chenji, and she is trained in Xuanyao." Bright as the night moon shines on Qionglin, rotten like the morning glow reflects Zhupu. Li Liqing, Chu Ze sighed in his heart.

………

………

Chu Ze left the palace, and as soon as he returned to Cheng Mansion, His Majesty Li Er sent someone to send a thick piece of information.

This information is extremely detailed, including all the detailed information about the water transport, the river channel, the river work; the amount of grain that can be shipped each day on weekdays; the daily consumption of rice and grain in Chang'an; the annual grain production in the Jianghuai region; It is also a summary of the various methods that the ministers of the DPRK and China have just come up with during their discussions.

Obviously, His Majesty Li Er sent these materials to help Chu Ze plan to plan for transporting grain.

Chu Ze did not express any opinion on the collection and transportation of grain in the palace before, because he knew very little information about this matter, and there was no way to talk about it. At this time, after carefully reading the information sent by His Majesty Li Er, combined with the knowledge of the later generations he had, he had some ideas in his heart.

Chu Ze asked the little guy to find a few large pieces of paper, and then began to draw.

After half a burnt incense, he drew a water and land transportation map that included Jingbei Road, Jingnan South Road, Jinghu North Road, Huainan East Road, Jingdong East Road and Chang'an City.

Whether it was for Chu Ze to leave a good impression in front of His Majesty Li Er, or to prevent the tragedy of Chang'an City from happening three months later, Chu Ze had to do his best to help Datang solve this matter. And he also wanted to see if he had the ability to solve the things that His Majesty Li Er, Fang Xuanling, and the eldest grandson Wuji couldn't solve.

He had already seen all the solutions that the ministers of the DPRK and China could think of, and although he already had some ideas in his mind, he still needed to reason and improve them further.

You must know that buying and transporting grain from the Jianghuai region for thousands of miles is by no means something that can be solved by a whim of an idea and talking on paper, and it involves all aspects of the details. For example, the efficiency of the Tang Dynasty, the operational capacity of the yamen institutions involved, the ability of local state and county officials to raise funds, the transportation capacity of Caoyun, and so on.

Chu Ze looked at the information, looked at the map, and began to reason about the thoughts in his heart. But half an hour later, Chu Ze stopped with a dejected face.

Although the information sent by His Majesty Li Er was detailed, it was still far from enough. Chu Ze did not have the slightest practical experience in the operation of the local bureaucratic system, grain merchants and landlords, ship canal workers, etc., and the methods he came up with now could only be on paper.

Chu Ze frowned and pondered for a while, thinking of the staff system in the army in later generations and the way of doing things that everyone gathered together to deduce when there was a major event. I can't help but sigh in my heart, what is most needed now, and it is also a top priority, to find some experts in all aspects that may be involved in the completion of this matter, gather together for a meeting to discuss, brainstorm, and jointly deduce and demonstrate. In this way, feasible solutions can be come up.

Just as Chu Ze was thinking about whether he should discuss this matter with Fang Xuanling and his party and come up with a plan together, Cheng Chuliang's voice came.

Cheng Chuliang looked at the rice paper that had been written a lot in front of Chu Yunze, and asked puzzledly, "Chu Ze, what is this for?" ”

Chu Ze told Cheng Chuliang about raising six or seven million stones of grain for Chang'an, because he knew that there was no need to hide these things from Cheng Chuliang, and in addition, he also needed someone to discuss, although this person was Cheng Chuliang, he could also make do with it.

Cheng Chuliang asked a few questions, and after Chu Ze hesitated for a moment, he told the lie again about the Chu family's wise man's calculation that the Wei River would burst its embankment and flood more than 20 prefectures and counties near Chang'an in March next year.

This matter fell into Cheng Chuliang's ears, and naturally he was thinking about it again, and while he was shocked in his heart, he trusted Chu Ze's ability even more.

When Cheng Chuliang said some thoughts in his heart, Chu Ze recorded that Cheng Chuliang often played in Chang'an City, and when it came to Cao Yun, the inside story was the Tao, and many of the methods and strategies he said were reasonable and effective.

After dinner, the Great Demon King Cheng also came to Chu Ze's room with Chu Ze and Cheng Chuliang, and came up with many ways one after another, and the Great Demon King Cheng even told some of the transportation methods of smuggling and tax evasion that he knew in private.

In the middle of the night, several people's brains were almost exhausted, and they really couldn't think of any extra things, so Cheng Da Demon King and Cheng Chuliang went to rest. Chu Ze spent another two hours combing and summarizing these materials, and wrote them in the form of a plan report.

Looking at the stack of rice paper in front of him, Chu Ze moved his somewhat stiff arm and sighed, "It's finally finished." Only then did he strip and go to sleep, and Chu Ze seemed to see a woman in his dream, but no matter how he opened his eyes, he couldn't see the woman's face clearly.
