In the back palace, there was a plate of freshly fried locusts on the desk, and a wine jug on the side, Li Shimin's hand was strong

was bandaged by Xiao Zheng's gauze, and the eldest grandson was also waiting beside him with a solemn face.

"If you hadn't stopped me, Lao Tzu really wanted to kill them all, and these old bastards dared to take advantage of such danger

This machine is coming to coerce me, Lao Tzu can't wait to eat its flesh" After speaking, he caught two more locusts and stuffed them into his mouth and drank a sip of wine.

"The saints should focus on exterminating locusts at the moment, and the purpose of the five hopes and seven families has been answered, and when the saints exterminate locusts, they will naturally

There will be no trouble, now that the locust extermination has a good start, we will take advantage of the victory to pursue it," Xiao Zheng persuaded.

"It's just that this breath is really hard to swallow, even when they came to such a Turkic invasion, I don't hate it

They, but they took advantage of the danger of my Tang people, can you find a way to take this breath for me? ”。

"They have been entrenched in the land of China for hundreds of years, and the change of dynasty has not done anything to them, which shows this

The family has deep roots. They just rely on the fact that they have land in their hands, money in their homes, books in their houses, and people in the court

These aspects have been solved, and it is inevitable that the five surnames and seven hopes will fall apart. But the saint must not be in a hurry, it may be ten years

Twenty years or more, as long as we start from these aspects, the minister can guarantee that these families will become history, but

Don't be anxious, saints, but be patient for now."

"That's it! As long as I can see the fall of these families, I will be satisfied," Li Shimin thought about Xiao Zheng's words

Nai replied.

In the second year of Zhenguan, there was a big locust plague, although Li Shimin and all the courtiers worked hard, but the state capitals and counties reported the damage

The loss is still shocking, some of the crops that have been eaten by the locusts can continue to grow, and some of the seedlings that cannot grow directly

Destroying and replanting millet, fortunately, with Xiao Zheng's early warning, the national grain depot is also full, for those who lack food and grain

After the official issues the documents, he goes to the official warehouse to receive free grain.

Pei Mingli also conveyed Xiao Zheng's opinion to all grain merchants, it is strictly forbidden to raise grain prices, and all grain merchants know now

There is a lot of grain in the treasury, and with the lessons that Xiao Zheng gave to those grain merchants when the Turks came, the price of grain in the market in Chang'an is only

It was a little longer, because the price of food was stable, and the affected areas did not cause riots.

On the Hall of Xiande, Fang Xuanling reported that nearly one million people were affected by the locust plague, and nearly half of the farmland in the Guanzhong Plain was eaten

, still scared everyone. After listening to this, Li Shimin announced to the ministers on the spot that the use of the palace was being reduced by half

The national disaster, which also made all the courtiers grateful, Wei Chi Laohei, the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Daozong and others also asked for a reduction

Half, this also made Li Shimin very emotional, and a great drama of unity was staged between the monarch and the minister.

Cutting spending is just an attitude, just as people are facing the hardest-hit Chang'an City near the three

At a time when the resettlement of 100,000 refugees was at a loss, Du Ruhui of the Ministry of Civil Affairs came out and made a proposal that made everyone dumbfounded

Suggestion: All the 300,000 refugees will be accepted in full, and then an official of the same width will be built on the side of the official road from Chang'an to Luoyang

Dao, the rules are as usual.

Du Ruhui, who has always been calm in the court, patted his chest and assured everyone that he would not spend a penny from the treasury, but only provide it

Grain is sufficient, and grain is also purchased from the state granary.

Everyone doesn't know where the money came from, since you can raise money from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Du Ruhui uses his head to bear it

Bao, the group of ministers will have nothing to say. 300,000 victims were turned into laborers in a few days, and this manpower was not enough.

The government also issued an example to summon people to work.

When the road was repaired, what surprised everyone was that the newly built official road seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and the road was ten zhang wide

The face and the original road just make up two main roads, one left and one right, which is fucking strange, but for the Ministry of Civil Affairs

There are those who envy the ability to use work for relief to move the treasury, and there are those who are curious.

Standing on the road being repaired, Xiao Zheng said to Du Ruhui: "Old Du, you can show your face during this time

Now, there are many people who admire you in the Manchu Dynasty, and you are hated by others."

"I'm just wondering, you don't show your face like this?" Du Ruhui asked Xiao Zheng.

"Because I still have more face-revealing things," Xiao Zheng said with a smile that was a little secretive to Du Ruhui.

The next day, waiting for Du Ru to come back from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Xiao Zheng smiled and handed him a piece of music and a booklet.

Du Ruhui thought it was a normal piece at first, but after turning a few pages, the expression on his face became more and more

Serious, after reading it, his chest kept rising and falling, and he sat on the chair and closed his eyes and didn't speak for a long time.

The room fell silent for a while, and after waiting for a pillar of incense, Du Ruhui suddenly asked, "Xiao."

Squire, do you know how much trouble this piece will cause after you hand it over? You will be famous for eternity, but you will also be thousands

It will not be destroyed".

"Of course I know, if it weren't for the saint in charge of the army, if I didn't get it right, I would be on the side of the Qing Jun" Xiao Zheng sat in the chair

Shang said nonchalantly kicking Erlang's legs.

"You know you're doing this stupid thing! What a smart person you are, what are you doing in this troubled water, you are doing it well

Ancheng earns your copper money and seeks some benefits for the people? Du Ruhui jumped up suddenly, and his face was a little twisted

Qu grabbed Xiao Zheng's collar and yelled.

Liu Yijie was startled when he entered the door and saw the two of them like this, and hurriedly came over to pull Du Ruhui away and asked the reason.

Du Ruhui handed the chapter to Liu Yijie and said, "Look at it, our Lord Xiao is ready to sacrifice his life for the country."

After Liu Yijie finished reading this book, he looked at Xiao Zheng with extremely complicated eyes, and cold sweat came down.

patted Liu Yijie on the shoulder, took the piece from his hand and said, "Lao Du, you have seen it now,

A simple locust plague, these valve families can make waves like this, Wei Zheng and others did not dare to say it at that time

words, it shows how powerful these people are. Now my Tang Dynasty is like a blank piece of paper, and today's saints are majestic

Slightly, if these valves are allowed to influence the situation of the Tang Dynasty, sooner or later it will repeat the mistakes of the past like the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and can be with these

It is not the saints who are fighting against the forces, nor you and me, but the thousands of people and the hearts of the people of my Datang, and I only wish

to awaken the hearts of the people".

After listening to Xiao Zheng's words, Du Ruhui's eyes were a little red, and he took this book and said, "Since I have recognized it."

If you know you, you know that you are an immortal material, don't look at your usual hanging, from the beginning of Xuanwumen to the present, I am in danger

How have you ever flinched when it was difficult, besides, you are so young, in the future, Datang can do without me Du Ruhui, not without you,

You write this, I'll do it! ”。

"Lao Du, why are you not as smart as me, with me as a smart and talented, I have already thought of a way out, no

matter, don't worry, I still count on you when I talk about the affairs of the Ministry of Civil Affairs," Xiao Zheng said with a hippie smile again.

"Okay, let's not talk about it for now, you and I have to go to find the prime minister together, the eldest grandson, the fat man, and the saint" pulled Du Ruhui away

The Ministry of Civil Affairs .......

At the court meeting five days later, Xiao, the waiter of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the waiter of the Ministry of Works, who had not written a single chapter since he became an official

Zheng suddenly stood up.

solemnly handed over a copy to Li Shimin, and at the same time attached an article

A poem.

The examination methods of the two subjects of Ming Jing and Jinshi were discussed in detail, and the invitation Li was put forward for the first time

The people of the world "asked the tribute people in the Xiande Palace", which was the beginning of the imperial examination in the middle hall. In addition, it was also proposed that the military department should take the main examination

Wuju.

The methods used in the cantata are written clearly one by one, and the obfuscation and transcription are creatively proposed

Later, the main examination will judge the papers, and more importantly, it is proposed to put an end to future recommendations and papers, and the promotion and appointment of all officials

All lives are produced by the imperial examination.

As soon as this piece was proposed, it exploded like a thunderbolt in the Hall of Virtue.

Wonderful!
