Each of the five grain merchants lost 100,000 taels of silver. To a certain extent, this is caused by the dereliction www.biquge.info of duty of the yamen, which will ask for food donations from their families, and even Chen Fang's cheekiness is already embarrassed to mention it again. But not to mention, the victims are going to starve again.

The situation suddenly came to an embarrassing point, and for a while, Chen Fang and Li Shimin didn't know what to say.

Just when Chen Fang was thinking about how to effectively continue this embarrassing meal, the eldest grandson, who had been sitting quietly beside Li Shimin and was silent, suddenly picked up his wine glass.

She saluted the cup to the five grain merchants, and said with a gentle smile: "Outside of a few members, money is something outside the body, and it is worth spending some extra silver taels to make your sons return safely." Now that everyone has suffered losses, it seems that I don't know how to ask you for food again, but the camp of the victims outside the door, if you can't get food, you should starve all over the field tomorrow, and the little woman also implored you to be kind and donate some food. ”

The eldest grandson is the princess, and now she not only toasts several merchants in person, but also respects herself as a little woman, which can be said to have given enough face to several grain merchants.

Seeing that the eldest grandson is so self-conscious, they all know that it is not good to give her face again, so they all tried to squeeze out a frightened smile on their faces, but they did not say anything, but set their eyes on the leader Qin Han Dynasty, hoping that he would be the first to stand up and make a statement.

Feeling everyone's "recommendation", Qin Hanchao scolded secretly in his heart, but he still maintained that trace of panic on his face.

He said, "This ...... The princess is right, although we have lost some money, it is nothing compared to the displaced victims. In this way, Xiao Lao will donate 1,000 stone of grain on behalf of our Qin family grain number. ”

Seeing that he had expressed his expression, the rest of the families also said that they would donate 1,000 stone of food.

It's just 1,000 stones, that is, just 1,200 catties, and Li Shimin can't be satisfied with this amount.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if it's only a thousand stones, I'm afraid it's not enough." He shook his head.

Hearing this, several members of the staff were silent again, they didn't dare to offend a prince casually, in case they angered the other party, it was not impossible to lose their entire wealth. It was they who once again set their sights on the Qin and Han dynasties.

Qin Hanchao's voice scolding his mother in his heart became louder, but he still did not show the emotions in his heart, but made a look of embarrassment, and said hesitantly: "That, Lord Wang, a thousand stones is indeed not much, but our families have just lost 100,000 taels of silver, although it will not let us return to the old days, but this has also used our working capital, which has seriously affected our business. ”

"yes, yes." The other three grain merchants echoed one after another, but only Cao Guohua was silent with a straight face.

Seeing the stingy faces of a few grain merchants, Li Shimin sighed secretly in annoyance, looking at Li Kun again, it was like seeing a philanthropist.

He didn't believe in his heart that donating more food would affect the business of these people, but the other party had already said so, and he couldn't force them, so he had to pour himself a glass of wine in hatred.

Originally, when he heard that the five major grain merchants only promised to donate 1,000 stone of grain, Li Kun was so annoyed that he couldn't speak, but Li Shimin looked at it happily, and he couldn't help but feel a little happier in his heart, and straightened his back proudly.

Seeing that the matter of food donation was unnegotiable, Chen Fang saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. He is the driving force behind this plan, if this plan is successful, then the world will be peaceful, if not, whether Li Shimin can let him go and not say, whether the disaster victims camped at the yamen will let him go, and do not say.

Even he can't let himself go!

Chen Fang's head was racing, trying to find some postmodern ways to deal with this disaster situation from memory.

It's a pity that the conditions of today's Datang have never been able to compare with the modern era. No matter how much he wants to break his head, he can't come up with a good way.

Annoyed, he picked up the wine glass and was about to pour himself a glass, but the corner of his eye inadvertently swept to the bright red roast chicken on the dining table, and suddenly a spiritual light flashed in front of him.

He laughed all at once.

Everyone was unusually surprised when they heard his laughter, looking at him curiously and strangely, and there was a trace of displeasure between Li Shimin's eyebrows. However, Tang Yun, who was familiar with him, was the first to react, and exclaimed in surprise: "Brother Chen, are you thinking of any good way." ”

As soon as these words came out, even Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuwu had a look of surprise.

"Mr. Chen, do you really have a good solution?" Li Shimin asked excitedly and in disbelief.

Chen Fang nodded, and said with a smile: "Back to Your Highness, the grass people do have a plan. ”

"Mr. Chen, please speak." Li Shimin raised his hand excitedly, signaling Chen Fang to tell the plan.

However, Chen Fang did not immediately express the meaning of the plan, but replied: "Your Highness, this plan of the grass people is theoretically feasible, but there are still some details that need to be studied and discussed. It's better to wait for the banquet to end, and then the grass people will go out to His Highness, so as not to delay the time of a few people outside. ”

At present, disaster relief is the most important thing, Li Shimin didn't understand why Chen Fang had to wait until after the banquet was over, but he was so persistent. He had no choice but to agree.

Now that there is a solution to the disaster relief, Li Shimin naturally has no good hospitality for these stingy outsiders. After hastily eating some things, drinking a few glasses of water and wine, and saying a few polite words that were not painful, Li Shimin put on the intention of sending off the guests.

Seeing his attitude, several outsiders were embarrassed to stay any longer, and they all offered to leave, and Li Shimin made a gesture to stay, but in fact, he had already gotten up to see off the guests.

After sending a few stingy staff members away from the banquet, Li Shimin couldn't wait to ask Chen Fang about his strategy, but at this time, the few staff members who had just walked out of the yamen looked different.

"Damn, Lao Tzu also donated a thousand stone of grain, and he actually treated us like this, and His Royal Highness the King of Qin is not ......"

"Brother Xu, don't you want to die?"

Seeing that the head of the Xu family who was traveling with him was about to say something inappropriate, Qin Hanchao hurriedly interrupted him, and secretly stretched out his hand to the two Feiyun guards guarding the yamen.

The grain merchant surnamed Xu broke out in a cold sweat after realizing it, but although he didn't spit out again, his muttering mouth was still venting the dissatisfaction in his heart.

The group walked forward slowly, walking on the main street where the victims were stranded, when suddenly a person asked: "Master Qin, you said that we first lost 100,000 taels of silver, and now we have lost 1,000 stone of grain, how should this loss be compensated?" ”

The Qin and Han dynasties stopped, looked up at the starlight in the sky, and muttered to themselves: "Guangliang City is now full of people and has little grain, and the price of this grain is afraid that it will rise again." ”

Hearing this, the eyes of several grain merchants flashed with golden excitement, and their eyes were full of the shape of gold ingots.

"What, eat pork!"

Li Shimin's exclamation echoed in the Guangliang Yamen, it stands to reason that he should not be so easily shocked after being battle-bound, but he was shocked by Chen's pig-eating plan.

"Mr. Chen, I know that there are many wild boars in the world, but eating pigs is a rare thing, are you sure that you really want to let those victims eat pork?" Li Shimin asked with a little headache, but it was Chen Fang's very serious nod that answered him.

"So how are you going to convince them to eat pork? You must know that pork is poisonous, so how can they eat poisonous pigs in their stomachs? Li Shimin said.

Chen Fang blinked and asked, "Your Highness, who told you that pork is poisonous?" ”

Regarding Chen Fang's answer, Li Shimin was a little surprised: "Naturally, it is a medical codex, Mr. Chen Fang, as a doctor, you should have seen such a record?" ”

"Yes, I do, but who says it has to be right?" Chen Fang said again.

Li Shimin's mouth opened and closed a few times, but he didn't say a word.

Yes, although there is a record in the medical codex, who can guarantee that it must be right?

"But, Mr. Chan...... Since it is recorded in the pharmacopoeia, how can we convince those victims to accept the consumption of pork, knowing that it has been their habit not to eat pigs for thousands of years, and it is not so simple to change them and convince them. The eldest grandson asked for Li Shimin's worries.

But her problem was not a problem at all in Chen Fang's opinion.

Chen Fang smiled and said: "It is not difficult to convince the victims at all, and it will naturally be a matter of course when His Highness comes out." ”

"Shall I come forward to persuade you?" Li Shimin imagined that scene for a while, his ears were full of voices of protest and opposition, and a trace of weakness suddenly sprouted in his heart, which was a trace of weakness that even he had not had in front of him many years ago.

"It's not persuasion, it's about eating with them, no, it should be in front of them, before them."

"What, you dare to let Your Highness go down and eat pork!"

Before Li Shimin woke up from the shock of "eat together" and "eat first" in Chen Fang's mouth, Wei Chigong immediately shouted and screamed.

"Damn stinky boy, how dare you let Your Highness eat such dirty, nasty, disgusting pork? Believe it or not, I will destroy you. His eyes widened, and he wanted to swallow Chen alive.

However, Chen Fang didn't even sweep the corner of his eyes, and made a deep swipe at Li Shimin, and said, "Your Highness, listen to the grass people." Today, we have only raised a few thousand stones of food, which is a drop in the bucket for the tens of thousands of victims outside our doors. However, there are many wild boars in the suburbs, and once they are hunted and used as meat for the victims, the shortage of food will be solved. ”

"Besides, pork is not poisonous at all, if Your Highness can lead a group of victims to eat pork today, not only can you fight for more food for the victims and save more lives, but also set a precedent for eating pigs. I believe that many years later, when people talk about this matter, they will still remember His Highness as a pioneer! ”

Li Shimin is not very interested in eating pigs, but he is very willing to try to set a precedent, become a pioneer, and save countless lives, which can add points to his future struggle with his brother for the right to inherit the throne.

"Mr. Chen, are you sure it won't be poisonous?" Li Shimin asked one last time.

Chen Fang secretly rolled his eyes and nodded. I was secretly laughing in my heart, if it was really poisonous, wouldn't the post-modern human race that eats pigs every day be extinct long ago?

After confirming that it was correct, Li Shimin slapped the table, stood up proudly, and said loudly: "Okay, since this is the case, then the king will set this precedent with the people of the world!" ”

Just because of the hasty dispatch of a few stingy staff, everyone did not eat much, now seeing that the plan has been decided, everyone's mood is also a lot lighter, everyone simply let the dish heat up, and then while eating and drinking, while planning to hunt wild boars tomorrow.

……

In the early morning of the next day, Li Shimin changed into his set of marching salutes early, carried his bow and sword, and prepared to lead the group to set off to the suburbs to hunt wild boars.

But when he saw Chen Fang, who had only changed into a suit, holding a roll of wire in his left hand and a woodcutter in his right hand, he couldn't help laughing.

"Mr. Chen, don't you have a sword in your hand? Why don't you get a stalk? Li Shimin said.

Chen Fang raised the woodcutter in his hand and said, "Your Highness, this is the grass people's weapon." ”

It's okay if he doesn't say it, but when he says this, even Feiyunwei, who has always had tight skin, can't hold it back, and laughs out loud, and Wei Chigong laughs even more.

"Hah...... Ahem, haha, you're a weapon too? Are you planning to go up the mountain to chop wood and come back to roast wild boar? Wei Chigong sneered mercilessly.

All along, Chen Fang was afraid that he was Li Shimin's confidant, so he turned a blind eye to his badness, but he didn't expect that Wei Chigong would become more and more ignorant, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of anger in his heart, he pinned the woodcutter to his waist, met Captain Chi Gong's mocking gaze, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and said coldly: "Oh, yes? Why don't we make a bet? ”

"Bet on what? Bet on how much wood you can chop today? Haha......" Yu Chigong laughed, and under his chain leadership, almost everyone laughed, except for Chen Fang.

Chen Fang looked at him coldly and said, "How about betting on who we hunt more wild boars today?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's laughter stopped abruptly, and they all looked at Chen Fang with disbelief, all of them looked like they were looking at a fool.

"You say, what are you going to bet with me? Hunting wild boars? Wei Chigong thought it was very funny, he was a veteran on the battlefield, and compared with Chen Fang, a scholar, he felt like betting with a little guy who hadn't even grown his hair yet.

"Yes, just bet on this, bet on whoever loses and who recognizes the other party as a master, how about it?" Chen Fang nodded with a sneer and said.

Wei Chigong thought it was very funny to see him so serious, but his favorite thing was to watch Chen Fang's jokes, so he also agreed.

"Okay, that's it!" He laughed out loud!
