"Do you know what my father is worried about now?"

The ninth princess nodded: "Isn't my father just worried that he can't buy food?" ”

Li Yuan smiled bitterly: "Yes, my father, as the son of the Tang Dynasty, can't even solve this problem, I'm really ashamed of this throne." ”

"Father, this is too much concern, and he wants his son to say, it is not easy for my father to get food, how many of those big families in Chang'an City are clean? As long as my father finds a few excuses to destroy his family and confiscate their grain property, I don't think anyone else will dare to raise the price of grain. ”

After the ninth princess finished speaking, she raised her head slightly and glanced at Li Yuan, for fear that he would not agree, but Li Yuan just frowned suddenly, pondered, and then immediately nodded and said: "Good idea, good idea, in a special period, it is necessary to use iron-blooded means, I can't watch Qingzhou continue to be in the hands of Tuyuhun, and I can't watch my Tang army defeated, since those people don't think about my Tang Dynasty, then don't blame me for being welcome." ”

Li Yuan agreed almost without much hesitation, the Ninth Princess was deeply surprised, how could Qin Tian's method be so effective, he said that his father would agree, would he really agree?

The Ninth Princess's expression moved slightly, and she soon seemed to understand something.

The emperor is ruthless, but he just destroys a few big families, what is it to him?

The Son of Heaven only looks at the pros and cons.

After the ninth princess understood, she naturally knew that Qin Tian had this idea precisely because she saw this, and at this time, she finally understood why he said that this idea was not suitable for him.

Like this kind of thing that sees through the essence of the emperor, her ninth princess can say it, because their relationship is close, but a courtier like Qin Tian can't say it, and if he does, he will be jealous of Li Yuan.

After thinking of this, the ninth princess didn't stay in the palace for long, and left soon, she was worried that Li Yuan would ask who gave her the idea, and at that time, if her father was suspicious, Qin Tianke would suffer.

When the ninth princess left, Li Yuan immediately found his cronies and instructed: "In Chang'an City, you don't need to look for those families, you don't need to find those who are not too powerful, dig out the crimes they have committed as soon as possible, and then hand them over to the criminal department to raid the house." ”

In fact, relatively speaking, the family has done the most illegal things, but their foundation is too thick, even Li Yuan has to be afraid of three points, so this kind of thing can't be found on them.

And the family with too little influence can't play the role of killing chickens and setting an example, so those who are in the middle can only wronged them.

After Li Yuan's cronies left, the next morning, they searched for evidence of the crimes committed by many people from these families, and the crimes committed by these people were not enough to raid the house, but there were many people who killed people or something, and in the eyes of many people, they were also difficult to write.

So early in the morning, when the Criminal Department took people to raid their homes, these people also had no way to refute, and those people were also very happy and relieved.

After all, it is unlikely that these people have never bullied ordinary people, so the people are naturally happy to see this situation.

In one morning, the Criminal Department raided five houses in a row, and a lot of grain and money were seized from these five houses, almost 10,000 stones, and countless amounts of money.

And in one morning, this matter spread throughout Chang'an City.

For a while, many family members were panicked, and even those people in the family began to get nervous.

"This ...... How good is this, the Holy One is angry. ”

"The Son of Heaven is angry, bleeding thousands of miles, I'm afraid this is just the beginning."

"That'...... So what do we do? ”

"The Holy One is doing this just to raise grain and grass, so we can just lower the price of grain."

In the big family, there must be no shortage of smart people, what does Li Yuan mean by making such a show this morning, a discerning person can know it at a glance, so in order to avoid the same fate, they can only make Li Yuan satisfied.

By the afternoon, many families had begun to lower the price of food, and the price was lower than the previous normal price.

Zhao Jing, the head of the household, was not idle here, and when the price of these family grains was reduced, he immediately began to buy frantically, which really took a big advantage.

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

Qin Mansion, Qin Wu quickly reported the situation in Chang'an to Qin Tian.

After Qin Tian heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When a person's power is not strong enough, there will be no good end to going against the court.

Even those families, if they offend the Son of Heaven, it will be difficult for them to end well.

Those who took the opportunity to raise the price obviously did not realize this, they did not know that if the imperial court wanted to rectify a person, they could kill him with any excuse.

And this time Li Yuan's excuse is still very popular with the people, in fact, many people are very happy to see those who are better off than them suffer disasters.

This is the inferior nature of human beings.

Now the collection of grain and grass is definitely not a problem, but the most important thing next is to send the grain to Li Shimin's military camp as scheduled.

At this rate, if you set off day and night, there will be no problem, but I'm afraid that someone has bad intentions.

Qin Tian was worried.

In the East Palace here, Li Jiancheng had already heard the news, today's incident happened too suddenly, he didn't expect his father to act so quickly against those powerful families.

I was completely caught off guard.

And after doing this, his previous plan was also ruined.

"How can this be, how could my father think of raiding the family, isn't this the same as raising a pig and waiting for him to eat fat and slaughter it?"

Li Jiancheng smiled bitterly, when he said this, even he admired his father a little, in fact, as the Son of Heaven, he could usually cultivate a few such people, and when they were fattened up, as soon as they raided the house, the treasury would be abundant immediately.

But now is not the time to admire this.

"Mr. Song, what should I do in this situation?"

Song Gongqing was obviously a little shocked, because he didn't expect Li Yuan to act so roughly, but Li Yuan did just that, and the effect seemed to be very good.

However, Song Gongqing didn't feel that they didn't have a chance at all now.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince don't worry, the grain and grass are ready, and it must be able to be delivered to the King of Qin, as long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is willing to sacrifice one person and order him to be responsible for escorting the grain and grass, then drag him for four or five days on the way, and we can still achieve the goal."

Four or five days is enough time for some bad things to happen to Li Shimin's army, which has no military rations.

Of course, according to Li Jiancheng's methods, it is certainly not as simple as delaying for four or five days, and whether or not the grain can be delivered in full will become a big problem.

After hearing Song Gongqing's method, Li Jiancheng pondered for a moment and said, "Come on, go and bring Duanmu Liang into the East Palace." ”

Obviously, Li Jiancheng is ready to sacrifice Duanmu Liang.
