Chapter 18 The roses came, and so did the drought

There is little rain in late summer, the sun is particularly bright in the early morning, and a delicate carriage drove into Chang'an City from Bashang, north of Chang'an is Weishui, south is Bashui, from Bashui, generally from the south of the guests.

Drunken Immortal Building, the top ** in Chang'an City, there are new goods arriving today, the so-called new goods, that is, just sold by the government, or voluntarily sold to ** women, under the age of fourteen, no broken body is called new goods, generally in ** after a few years**, learn some skills to play and sing, such prostitutes are generally not selling their bodies, after the age of sixteen, has not been pardoned or redeemed by the imperial court, they will start to really pick up customers, if they come in at the age of sixteen, or have been broken, That's sorry, I'm going to start picking up customers immediately, of course, the best managers will also select some of them to focus on training, and specialize in serving some wealthy guests, and their worth is up, so they can have the right to pick customers.

There are very few entertainment methods in the Tang Dynasty, shopping ** is a very fashionable sport, but also because of the open atmosphere and curfew, prostitutes began to solicit business on the street in broad daylight, Zuixianlou as the leading ** in Chang'an City, prostitutes are not a thousand but also eight hundred, fat ring Yan thin everything, but this thousand eight hundred prostitutes in the carriage after the little girl got off, instantly lost the color of the past, just because this pink carved jade villain is too beautiful, big eyes, mutton fat jade-like skin, black and bright hair, One more is too much, one less is too little, and the body shape is simply perfect, so that the ** people who are women can't wait to take this little girl into their arms and eat it in their stomachs.

"After you are a criminal official, you entered my drunken immortal building, your every qiē will be the old lady's final say, if you are diligent, practice hard for a few years, and climb to the powerful, your life may be better, otherwise, you will fall into the same fate as them, and you will know the suffering." Gu Qingqing, the head of the drunken fairy building, usually looks domineering in front of many prostitutes, and today is no exception, and the words are also more routine, but somehow, it also makes people hear a hint of caring tone, 100,000 guan, absolutely generous, of course, the real price is at most 50,000 guan, but in the early Tang Dynasty, it definitely belongs to a huge amount of money, the first year of the Tang Dynasty, the country's annual tax is only 2 million, which is a huge amount of money accounting for one-fortieth of the national tax, all used to buy a prostitute, peer** will only think that Gu Qingqing is crazy.

"It's good for Rose to listen to her mother."

The beauty's surname is Bai, and her name does not need to be changed, she directly followed the trend of the Drunken Immortal Building, in the name of the flower, called Rose, and gave a soft voice to the master Gu Qingqing, who came to greet her, and then followed Gu ** into the Drunken Immortal Building, just showing her face once, which attracted the eyes of countless narrow-minded prostitutes, and the hatred caused by envy and jealousy was preserved in any era.

"You all listen to me one by one, if there is a mistake in the past few years that White Rose has studied art in the Drunken Immortal Building, the old lady will kill whoever is involved, this is the best goods that the old lady bought with all her belongings, if there is a mistake, the Drunken Immortal Building must collapse." Gu Qingqing's face began to become cold as soon as she left the white rose, for these faceless and skinless prostitutes, it is difficult to discipline them without any means.

"Fifty thousand, the daughter of Bai Zong Town in Furong City, it's worth it, who told him Lao Tzu to have a relationship with those rebels, otherwise this is the daughter of a wealthy family." The middle-aged man who drove the carriage into the city smiled a little suspiciously, Tang Shi did not have silver tickets and Jiaozi, most of the transactions were cash, and five thousand copper coins could crush its carriage, let alone fifty thousand yuan, yes, the guys from the Drunken Immortal Building moved all the gold to his car.

"I hope this little ancestor can live in peace until the days of listing and picking up customers, these women in the building are not easy to get along with, and it is difficult to survive without some means." Gu Qingqing didn't say much to the person, and after a few polite sentences, he went into the building to arrange the accommodation and life problems of White Rose.

Yang Lin has the gas to get up, he should really be angry, last night a large group of children rushed into the bath, and snatched the small half bottle of shower gel and shampoo that he had left, but fortunately, at the last moment he brought out the emperor and empress to make Li Chengqian suddenly realize, leaving a little foundation, and he could only let Li Er and the eldest grandson enjoy it once, and Yang Lin was sad to think about the days without shampoo and shower gel!

The little white rose beauty who didn't know that she was going to be entangled with him for a lifetime entered Chang'an City, and she had been practicing with Li Bin for an hour of breathing and breathing kung fu that she didn't understand at all, and after practicing Gongyanglin planned to come back and sleep again, she felt distressed about shampoo and shower gel last night, and she didn't sleep well in the middle of the night, and she became groggy by Li Bin's obscure qi mantra, like a smoker who was addicted to smoking, and wanted to take two puffs on the kang.

When passing by the eldest grandson's bedroom, Yang Lin heard a cry, it seemed that the eunuch in charge was punishing the palace maid, and he didn't want to be disciplined again in this state of malaise, because Yang Lin had already guessed that this matter might have something to do with the eldest princess Li Lizhen and Wei King Li Tai messing around in Chengqian Palace last night, and Yang Lin didn't feel anything about this other woman who was going to be entangled with him for the rest of his life, the reason was very simple, he didn't have pedophilia.

Meimei bent up and looked at the sun that was almost west, Yang Lin was directly awakened by hunger, turned on the solar laptop, the power was full at this time, his mobile phone, electronic telescopes, cameras and other power-related equipment still need to rely on this notebook to charge, so this computer plays a central role, look at the time, about three o'clock in the afternoon, the air humidity is still very low, proving that there is no rain in a short time, from the beginning of summer to the beginning of autumn has not rained a drop of rain, Yang Lin looked at the weather statistics table on the screen, After a good night's sleep, the good mood is gone.

The hottest and driest autumn tiger is coming, the continuous drought, this year's autumn harvest grain of the people around the country may not be as good as the usual thirty percent, according to the situation that the people of Datang have no surplus grain, that is to say, there will be seven adults to starve, and the mortality rate may reach more than fifty percent, Yang Lin shivered and did not dare to imagine that number, and quickly got dressed and walked in the direction of the Taiji Palace.

"Bastard, Zhang Fangping's county order is too incompetent, there are only 30,000 people in Yingshan County, there are only 30,000 people in total, and more than 7,000 people have starved to death, I want to kill him to make an example."

Li Er slapped a scroll of music with a shocking sound, His Royal Highness, Fang Xuanling, and the eldest grandson Wuji also hung their heads with ugly faces.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Fangping's killing or not is still a small problem, seeing that it is autumn, dozens of counties west of Guanzhong have not had a drop of rain for several months, this year's autumn harvest is only afraid that there will be no harvest, if the problem of eating for millions of people cannot be solved, I am afraid that more than 7,000 people will die."

"Yes! There is still nearly a year to go from autumn and winter to next summer, and the food rations of these millions of people are a big problem, and if they are not handled properly, I am afraid that it will endanger the community. ”

Fang Xuanling's eldest grandson Wuji is not a talented person, but in the face of millions of mouths, they have no choice, maybe they still have some ways to raise some food, but on the huge population base, it can only be a drop in the bucket.

There are only three monarchs and ministers in the Taiji Palace, it seems extremely empty, and there is a little echo in the speech, Yang Lin tilted his head and stood at the door of the main hall and listened for a while, before the autumn, a large number of victims have begun to flee, rushing to the direction of Chang'an City, in feudal society, the emperor is the Son of Heaven, when a natural disaster occurs, they will also approach the Son of Heaven for the first time, the sky is difficult, and he wants a way to live, which is what it should be.

"Guide Lang will ask Yang Lin to see you."

Hearing this relatively obscure official position and name, Li Er was stunned, it is said that the military generals from the fifth rank cannot directly face the saint, and there must be officials above the third rank to be introduced, but Yang Lin is now living in the prince's East Palace, in the imperial city, there are no taboos in front of the emperor, there are secret guards to greet him, and the Han general standing in the hall does not dare to slack off, and hurriedly communicates.

"I forgot about him, and let's see what happened to my auspicious little fairy in the Tang Dynasty."

Li Erzhun saw it, and Yang Lin also entered the Tai Chi Hall along the way, and after a simple salute, Yang Lin was already straight to the point.

"Your Majesty, there is a great drought in Guanzhong, and millions of victims are about to flock to Chang'an City, I don't know how Your Majesty plans to settle them?"

In fact, this kind of interrogation is very unreasonable, how does the emperor want to govern the world, there is no need to explain to you, a seven-year-old child who has a false position from the fifth rank military attaché, but Li Er knows that he is afraid that he wants to offer this question, so he replied decently.

"I have issued an order to order the officials of all provinces to raise grain and grass to escort to Chang'an, Jiangnan Province has already shipped 200,000 stone of grain and grass, and it can arrive in Chang'an within two months, and the rest of the provinces combined, a total of about 300,000 stone of grain will also be transported one after another, I plan to order the city guard to set up porridge sheds in advance, so that the people will not starve to death on the streets." What Li Er said is basically all the existing national strength of Datang, as well as the most pertinent way of disaster relief, according to this plan, at least 30% of the people in Guanzhong will not starve to death.

"500,000 stone of grain, Your Majesty plans to let millions of people eat from this autumn to next summer? Even if it's a pound of rice to cook porridge for 100 people, it can't do it! Yang Lin's face sank, not because Li Er's plan was inappropriate, but because he couldn't imagine the power of the whole Tang Dynasty, he could only raise 500,000 stone grain, which was less than half of what he expected.

"I also know that no, do you have any solution? If you can help the people get through this hurdle, I will thank you all over the world. Li Er's temper was completely suppressed at the moment, and he wanted to hear even the slightest possibility.

"The kid thinks that although this is a big disaster, it is also a big opportunity, as long as it is handled properly, it may be able to create more favorable conditions for Datang within the limited losses." As for how to deal with the drought and the victims, Yang Lin already had a draft in his chest, and as soon as these words came out, of course, the eyes of Li Erfang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji shone like a substance.
