When Li Shimin was anxiously waiting, two old men with white beards and coarse linen clothes with muddy water on their feet appeared in front of him.

"Your Majesty, don't you know what is the matter with us?" The two old men were still very respectful to Li Shimin, no matter what, he was the emperor, and the people from the peasant family were different from the people of other factions, they were real researchers.

"Don't be so polite to the two Ph.D. scholars, I shouldn't have bothered you, but this time I was really forced to do it, I guess the two of you have heard about it..."

Li Shimin even omitted the title of I, which shows that he attaches great importance to these two people, but what he said has heard has blinded these two doctoral scholars from the peasant family.

"Your Majesty forgives the sin, but the two of us have been in the field before, but we have never heard of anything big happening in Chang'an!"

As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin was a little embarrassed, the two experimental maniacs didn't know what was going on, and Li Shimin couldn't say anything, so he could only stare at the guards behind, he brought someone here, and he didn't say anything on the way here, who didn't blame him?

The guards were also very aggrieved, but after all, he was just a small person, so he could only bow his head and silently memorize the black cauldron.

"It doesn't matter if you don't know, it's the same for me, before the army went out to counterinsurgency and took away most of the grain, a large amount of grain had been transported from Jiangnan, some of which were stored in the major granaries in Chang'an, and some of them were placed on the cargo ship at Cao Yun Wharf because they didn't get off the ship in time, but yesterday they were set on fire by fanatics who don't know where they came from. I also know that I have found two of them, and I hope that the people from the farm can help me think of a way! ”

Let the emperor use the word help, you can imagine the importance of things, and the people of the peasant family are different from other families, they are the real compassionate, but also the real researchers, if according to Yang Wei's understanding, it is equivalent to the existence of the great druid of the plant department, they study food, improve yield, shorten the growth cycle, and improve the ability of food crops to resist diseases and pests.

It is simply the ancient version of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, their reputation among the people is very huge, and the words they say are always convincing, even if it is a Jianghu sect, they will try to avoid conflicts with them, of course, this is a private nature and not an official organization, so even if Li Shimin talks to them, he must have a consultative tone.

"I didn't expect the situation to be so serious, these rebels are really rampant, this is a matter of hundreds of thousands of lives, rest assured, my farmer's responsibility is unshirkable, I will definitely help Your Majesty think of a way!"

The peasant family, who has always been compassionate and compassionate, naturally will not refrain from agreeing, but the promise is a promise, and if you want to think of a way, you can't do it overnight.

"I don't know how long Chang'an's grain can last now?" An old man asked.

"Someone, come here, Pei Ju, the secretary of the Xuanmin Ministry, will meet you."

Of course, the one in charge of the money and grain is the Minbu Shangshu, at this time it has not been changed to the Hubu Shangshu, that is, it is called the Minbu Shangshu, with Li Shimin's summons, a series of coughing sounds came, it turned out that Pei Ju had been waiting in the palace for the summons after the grain was burned, no matter who was responsible for this matter, he was the Minbu Shangshu was duty-bound, but seeing that he was already old and needed to bend over and cough from time to time, even if Li Shimin wanted to punish him, he couldn't do it.

After all, an old man who is almost eighty years old, Li Shimin sighed and said, "Boss, please sit down, I don't know how much food is available in this Chang'an City now?" ”

"Ahem... Ahem... Ahem!! Your Majesty, there is not much food available in Chang'an City, and the food rescued is added together, which can last for half a month at most, and if it takes a long time, I'm afraid something will happen! ”

Although Pei Ju is not in good health, he is still very familiar with his own affairs, in fact, when he came, he deliberately observed the file, combined with the reported losses, and got this answer after a comparison.

"What do you see, two?" Li Shimin turned his attention to the two doctoral scholars from the farmer's family.

"Half a month, too hasty, even if we use our own ability to mature, but the time is too short, can not save so much, if this time our high-yield rice research is successful, it would be a pity... Ay! ”

The doctor shook his head, it seems that it is a little difficult to provide the living needs of people in a city with a population of hundreds of thousands in a short period of time, but Li Shimin has no choice.

"Isn't it really okay? I don't know how much I can mature? Li Shimin frowned and asked.

"With the strength of my farm, one ripening in seven days is already the limit, and even then it is useless, after all, there is a large population, and the time is too short, it can be ripened twice at most."

"Two times is enough, I'm asking people to mobilize food from the surrounding areas, and by the way, the supply will be limited, so that at least it can last until the autumn harvest, and the food crisis can be alleviated after the autumn harvest!"

Li Shimin is decisive, once he has a decision, he will not be easily shaken, in fact, he can recall the army, in this case, the food will be no problem, but he knows that the food will be burned this time must be the masterpiece of those people, so recalling the army is that he admits defeat, and he, Li Shimin, will never admit defeat.

"Ahem, Your Majesty, there is actually another way!" Pei Ju seemed to have been silent for a long time before deciding to say it.

But Li Shimin shook his head and said, "I know what you mean, but do you think it's possible?" ”

After hearing Li Shimin's words, Pei Ju sighed, it is indeed not easy, even if they are willing, they will open their mouths when they want to, the family has never been a good person, they may occasionally do good deeds, but in essence, they still focus on the family, how to say that, there is no thousand-year-old dynasty, only a thousand-year-old family.

"Okay, then it will be troublesome for the two of you, and I will definitely show something to the farmer after the matter is completed." After Li Shimin finished speaking, the two doctoral scholars bowed down and left the palace.

"Your Majesty, recently Weichen has been unwell, so that he neglected political affairs, which led to this catastrophe, and if there is a punishment, everyone will follow suit in the long run, and please allow Weichen to go home for the elderly!"

Looking at Pei Ju, whose hair and beard were all white, Li Shimin knew that he was using his official position to give an explanation to the imperial court, and it was also used to enhance Li Shimin's prestige, so that everyone could see that no matter who neglected political affairs, he would be punished, even if it was a big man in the court.

Li Shimin sighed and said: "I'm approved, you go down first, someone will send Lao Shangshu back to the house to recuperate, you can't visit without permission, call the prince up!" ”

"Retire!"
