Chapter 1316: Extra Food
However, in the end, Su Mei still didn't beat Li Chengqian, and just fed him a bowl of rice porridge to finish the matter, and during the process, he was inevitably attacked by a certain pervert and took advantage of countless advantages.
"Your Highness, have you figured it out? It won't be like this again, will it? You know we're all worried about you these days. After eating, Su Mei seemed to have to leave Li Chengqian's arms, and asked with a blushing face.
"Don't worry, it won't be in the future." Li Chengqian missed the soft touch just now, and looked at Su Mei with a look of brilliance in his eyes, as if he was going to swallow her alive.
"Then, then I'll tell Xiaowen about them." Su Mei was furious when Li Chengqian looked at her, for fear that he couldn't help but pounce, hugged the small bowl in her hand tightly, and fled the study in a panic, leaving Li Chengqian's mischievous laughter behind her.
The next ten days or so of the whole Tang Dynasty were very peaceful, because it was a holiday, so Li Chengqian had nothing to do every day, but since he figured it out under the reminder of Songtsan Gampo.
This loser child, who was once famous in Chang'an for 'retribution', has once again returned to the realization of everyone.
The old man didn't give him money, but only gave four vegetable ...... a day.
It doesn't matter, the old man didn't stipulate that he had to eat up four dishes every day, and the brazen Li Chengqian simply didn't eat in his East Palace, and took his four wives every day to run around in the Taiji Palace in the name of New Year's greetings.
On the first day of the new year, I gave the old man and his mother a New Year's greeting, and they worshiped from noon to night, and they had a round belly.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, I gave a few old fathers-in-law New Year's greetings, this time from noon to night, not to mention a round belly, but also packed and took away countless delicacies in Lao Cheng's house, and the angry old Cheng blew his beard and stared at him.
Needless to say, on the third day of the Lunar New Year, it is the turn of the eldest grandson Wuji, also from morning to night, packing by the way.
Then came the fourth and fifth .......
For more than ten days, Li Chengqian's reputation in Chang'an City was completely stinky, but this product was thick-skinned, no matter who he went to, he didn't leave, and he didn't forget to remind people when it was time to eat.
This is the New Year, no one is short of one or two meals at home, and he is still a prince, so he has no patience to invite him to eat together.
After coming and going, Li Chengqian's deeds of mixing rice and eating everywhere spread into the palace, and then reached the ears of the old man and the eldest grandson, and Lao Li was furious again.
"Okay, second brother, don't be angry anymore, Qian'er, it's not that you don't know what kind of character he is, if you celebrate the New Year, you just let him be a little." While feeling secretly funny, Empress Changsun kept persuading Lao Li, so that His Majesty Li Er had no place to vent his anger.
There is no way that Empress Changsun is now a pregnant person, and she can't stand being wronged, if Li Chengqian is dealt with again because of this, God knows what the consequences will be.
Therefore, in order not to lose face, the old man could only call all his important ministers to the palace in the name of the banquet, and Li Chengqian by the way, so that he could eat justifiably and not be too embarrassed.
However, a group of old men sat together, eating and drinking every day, and there was always a time to talk about the topic, so they unconsciously talked about government affairs.
"Your Majesty, can we build some more granaries this year? Now the granaries in various places have been full, and they have not been able to sell much since the beginning of winter, and if a large amount of grain is brought in in the next year, if the granaries are not built, they can only be piled up in the open air. ”
"Huh?" Fang Xuanling attracted the attention of the old man, twisted his eyebrows and asked, "In the past, I only heard that there was not enough food to eat, but now there is so much food that I can't save it, could the statistics be wrong?" Last year, there was a war going on, so don't those who served as soldiers eat? ”
"Eat, but their food is directly transported from Linyi, and it has no impact on our country." Fang Xuanling continued.
"That's not right, there have been a lot of runaways in the past few days, they have just divided the land, but there is no grain in stock, how can it be possible to increase the domestic food so much at once." The eldest grandson Wuji was also very puzzled why this situation occurred, and muttered suspiciously.
"What's this, isn't it good to have more food? You can eat with your belly open and don't worry about going hungry. "Cheng Yanjin, the old guy, didn't care about the specific details and the reason for the sudden increase in food, and he scorned the eldest grandson Wuji and others for nothing.
"Zhijie, you can't say anything, there must be a reason for the sudden surplus of food, if you don't find out the reason, who knows if there will be any accidents in the future, and this is likely to be the following officials lying about storing grain for political performance, if this is the case, what if there is not enough food in case of war?"
Li Jing is old and serious, and he thinks about problems more deeply than others.
But his inference was still rejected, Fang Xuanling shook his head after hearing his words: "No, the old man once sent someone to check below, the granaries around Chang'an are indeed full, there is no case of false reporting, presumably the same is true in other states and counties." ”
"Oh, if you want me to say, just arrest all the officials below and ask carefully, there will always be a reason for the extra food, there will always be less place if there is more here, maybe those people don't sell food to the people for the sake of political achievements." Wei Chigong and Cheng Yanjin are in the same tone, and their consideration of the problem is equally simple and direct.
"Prince, what do you think about this matter?" The old guys were studying the issue of food, and only Li Chengqian was eating and drinking, like a starving ghost reincarnated, so it was reasonable to attract the attention of the old man.
"Me?" After being named by the old man, Li Chengqian raised his head from the table, his eyes were blurred, his mouth was full of greasy, and he had a pair of greasy claws.
Seeing Li Chengqian's appearance as a foodie, the old man immediately became angry, glared at him and said, "As the prince of a country, don't you know that you care about national affairs?" ”
"Father, the reason here is very simple, the people eat more other things, and the amount is naturally less, and it is normal to have a large amount of surplus." Li Chengqian was glared at by the old man, grabbed the handkerchief on the table and said while wiping his mouth.
"What's the other stuff that eats too much? Where does this explanation come from? The old man didn't believe that even Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and the eldest grandson Wuji couldn't figure out the questions would be answered by Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian smacked his lips under the gaze of all the old goods, cheered up and said: "Father, in fact, the example is all around us, you just need to ask how much food the Sixteen Guards consume every month now, and how much food they will consume a few years ago, just compare the two!" ”
