Lou Shide and Sima Lin looked at Bai Chun in surprise, they didn't expect this beautiful woman's words to be so sharp, although she was talking about this reason, but such an aggressive tone was surprising.

The two couldn't help but look at Bai Chun's two companions, only to see the two companions drinking tea as a matter of course, and did not react to Bai Chun's aggressive tone, as if they should say so.

"The court is the most important, the officials are the foundation, and the people are secondary, do you want to give up the stability of the court, the life and death of the noble families, and the high-ranking officials and nobles, and use all this food to a group of people? Who cares about the life and death of the imperial court, nobles, nobles and nobles? When the time comes, isn't it the responsibility of the old man to make trouble in the court? Lou Shide said righteously, looked at Bai Chun and retorted.

"The people are secondary? Absurd! If there are no people, to whom will you be a great official? Are you the bread and butter of the people? He is also a retainer of a wealthy noble, a high-ranking official and a nobleman, ....... ”

"Presumptuous! This official is a second-class official of the imperial court, how can you allow you to insult the imperial court official so much? Attacking the court officials for no reason should be arrested and questioned! Lou Shide slapped the table and said angrily.

But instead of scaring Li Hong, Li Sujie, Bai Chun and Sima Lin, this move made the teacups on the table jump up.

"The little woman is just talking about things, and she doesn't mean to slander or attack you! The first emperor once said when he asked Zheng Guogong Wei for advice, water can carry a boat and also overturn a boat, so you value the holy words of the people, I don't know why you treat the people like ants and despise the lives of the people in the world! Could this be a little woman attacking you for no reason? Bai Chun's face was even colder, although she was dressed as a woman, it did not affect the image of a beautiful fairy who did not eat fireworks in the world in Li Hong's eyes.

Lou Shide also had a pale face, and he was panting loudly with anger, especially when he heard this little lady say the word adult, he deliberately accentuated his tone, which sounded more like an insult to him!

Lou Shide looked at Sima Lin, who was a little embarrassed, with a dark face, if he hadn't done this and heard the three of them playing the piano here, he wouldn't have been humiliated today.

Look at the two sons who came with this little lady, one by one the ceramic teacups with focused expressions looked carefully, as if in their eyes, on this teacup, there was a little lady who was more beautiful than the one in front of them, staring at it motionless!

But Sima Lin was surprised to find that Lou Shide's originally cold expression didn't know why, when he looked at the two young people who were concentrating on appreciating the teacup, he was slowly slowing down, and in the end, he even squeezed out a stiff smile on his face.

Sima Lin was stunned, he had been friends with Lou Shide for many years, and he was a close friend, and it was the first time he found that a person's expression could be transformed in this way, like a slowly unfolding picture, the coldness and anger at the beginning burned to shock, peace, gentleness, and then the corners of his mouth turned up, and then his eyebrows and eyes wrinkled and smiled.

What surprised Sima Lin even more was that Lou Shide, who was smiling awkwardly, actually stood up from the table, ignored the surprised eyes of the guys in the teahouse next to him and the guests at the three or two tables, and suddenly saluted the young man in white robe named Li Bai.

"What the son said is that the old man has been taught, and those who are officials should take the life of the world and the food and clothing of the people as their own responsibility, rather than just looking at the hardships of the noble and wealthy families, high-ranking officials and nobles...... Father. Lou Shide looked at Li Hong, turned his head to look at him, and finally whispered.

Li Hong waved his hand at him, motioned for him to sit down, looked at the somewhat embarrassed face, and said lightly: "Lou Shide, your eyes seem to be fine, it's only after so long that you recognize me and my fourth brother, what's the matter, isn't it that these eyes are patronizing to recognize the nobleman who writes about it?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, Xiaguan...... Minister....... Lou Shide hurriedly said in fear under Sima Lin's stunned gaze.

Originally, when he sat at another table, he felt that Li Hong and the three of them were familiar, and he always felt that he had seen them somewhere, and Lou Shide was still sure that the place where he had seen the three people was not an ordinary place, but until just now, he never remembered where he had seen these three people.

It wasn't until he saw Li Hong taking the teacup there carefully, and watching the side face drink the tea in the teacup, that he suddenly remembered that the Qianyuan Hall of Luoyang Palace! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, when he was fighting with the Prince of White, it was this side face that made him deeply remember His Royal Highness the Prince of the Tang Dynasty.

But just now, because he was not in the court, and the prince was still wearing civilian clothes today, he suddenly blurred Lou Shide's memory, and he thought about it for a long time before he remembered.

"Okay, don't be an official, a minister is not a minister, this is not above the court, there is no need to be so restrained, you tell me the truth, what is the purpose of your coming here today?" Li Hong asked, continuing to play with the cheap pottery teacup in his hand.

"This ...... These days, the official ...... No, my old friend Sima Lin, that is, the one opposite you, has been pestering me, hoping that I can open a warehouse and release grain, and solve the food problem for the people who have finished the Shangyuan Festival in the name of Henan Mansion, but ...... I...... Alas...... The minister also has suffering, Your Highness. In the end, Lou Shide had no choice but to lower his voice and reveal Li Hong's identity.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem, ......." The tea in Sima Lin's mouth on the opposite side was not bad at all, and after hearing the words "minister and His Royal Highness", he hurriedly lowered his head, and all the tea in his mouth choked out and sprayed on the ground.

Sima Lin, who was shocked, looked at Li Sujie next to him, and then at Li Hong, who was sitting opposite him, and was just about to get up to make amends after coughing, but was suppressed by Li Hong's gesture.

"Mr. Sima doesn't have to be like this, just sit down safely." After finishing speaking, he looked at Lou Shide and said: "Then tell me, what are you hiding unspeakably, so much grain is piled up in the warehouse, do you want the people to learn from Cao Mengde's Wangmei to quench their thirst?" ”

Lou Shide's face was full of bitterness, Li Hong looked at many people and shop guys around him who pricked up their ears and eavesdropped, about the problem of food, but the lives of these people next to him, hearing them talk about food all the time at this moment, naturally I hope to hear some good news.

"Then you will accompany me around the granary built by the previous dynasty, that ...... Check out with him. Li Hong got up and walked outside the teahouse, looked at the disappointed teahouse guy, pointed to Lou Shide and said.

"Okay, the guest officer walks slowly, by the way, if you can find out when the imperial court will release the grain, you might as well tell the little one, and the little one should be prepared." The shopkeeper greeted Li Hong and said secretly.

"What? Could it be that you don't have enough to eat when you guard the granary? Li Hong asked with a smile.

"Guest officer...... Guest officer, you are joking, the little one is working in this teahouse, and he is not working in the granary, so naturally he has nothing to eat. ”

"And what do you eat every day now?"

"Grain, you can't really let us gnaw on the bark, can you? It's just that you eat less than when you have surplus food, and I'm not afraid of your jokes, after the Shangyuan Festival, the little ones are almost forgetting what a full meal tastes like. ”

"No, I gave you two catties of food last year, according to a family of five, even if it's late, you should be able to eat enough, right?" Li Hong was very curious, according to the meaning of the teahouse guys, wouldn't it be that the people had already begun to cut back on food and clothing!

"There's food, but you can't eat it all, can you? If you eat them all, what do you plant after the beginning of spring? Is it possible to eat only ready-made children and eat the seeds? Wouldn't that be starving to death? The teahouse guy looked at Li Hong and said disapprerovingly.

It's really worthy of being a son's brother, a full man doesn't know that a hungry man is hungry, you think it's like you family, the food is not rich, just find a little relationship casually, you can get enough food! We are ordinary ants and ordinary people, and it is good for the government to take care of it.

Li Hong gave him a thumbs up, but saw Li Sujie and Bai Chun pursing their lips and snickering, this is obviously not a joke that the teahouse guys are poor, but a joke that he is not thoughtful.

Sima Lin was originally going to leave, facing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Prince Xu of the Tang Dynasty, he was still a little trembling in his heart, but Li Hong did not plan to let him go, but asked him to go to the granary with him.

The five of them walked on the busy street, and the carriage full of grain, after passing the inspection of the prison guard, began to drive out of the granary door and slowly walked in the direction of Luoyang.

Lou Shide walked on Li Hong's side and lamented: "Your Highness, don't you know, the ministers have been forced by him to come over and have a look these days, saying that these grains are being transferred out, but they are not transferred to the common people, but directly loaded into a boat from Luoshui, or a carriage to the north ......." ”

"Yes, as the governor of Henan Prefecture, don't you know these things? First of all, why are you reluctant to release grain, why do you have to wait for the imperial court to make an order? Could it be that the imperial court does not make a decree, and you, a dignified second-class official, do not have the right to open warehouses and release grain for the people? Li Hong ignored the supervision of the prison guard, pushed Bai Chun's shoulder, and walked in first.

"Alas...... You don't know, this time there is not much food left in Luocang now, and it is true that the court is ready to abandon it, but all the food, the minister also wants to use him at the most critical moment, right? ”

"Just tell me how much food you have left." Li Hong did not go to the granaries full of carriages, but specifically looked for the deserted granaries to observe.

"This ...... There is still surplus grain left in Huiluocang...... Approximately...... Less than three million stones. ”

"That's a lot, it's enough for the people of Henan Mansion to survive the famine year." Li Hong asked in wonder, you don't consume so much food left, do you really want to wait for the people to starve to death and start eating tree bark before you release the grain as Bai Chun said!

"Three million is a lot, but among these three million stones, there are military rations, public grains, royal food, and a small part, and there are not many in the Yicang. And...... And King Ji asked for 500,000 stone of low-priced grain, if 500,000 stone of low-cost grain is taken away, there will not be much left for the people, what do you say the minister will give the people to eat? Lou Shide spread his hands, as if this was a helpless thing, and he felt very wronged.
