Chapter 63: Bragging to Li Er

Inside the Tai Chi Temple.

At this time, the early dynasty had dispersed, but Li Shimin was not idle.

He sat on the dragon chair with anxiety in his eyebrows.

In front of him, there were Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and other ministers of the humerus in the court, each holding a book in their hands and reading it.

Obviously, what worries them so much is definitely not a trivial matter.

It was a long time.

His Majesty Li Er rubbed his eyebrows and spoke in a deep voice.

"Now there is a great drought in 24 states in Jiannan, Kanto and other places, and the displaced people are everywhere, and they are already going to Guanzhong."

"Do you have any good ways to solve it?"

Hearing this, the ministers below all looked at each other.

Since Li Shimin ascended the throne, have there been fewer droughts, floods, and even locust plagues in the world?

This time the drought in 24 states is not unusual.

If they had a good solution, they would have come up with it a long time ago, and they would have waited for it now.

But since His Majesty asked, it is impossible for them to say nothing when they are courtiers, otherwise they will be slacking off government.

Fang Xuanling replied:

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is autumn now, and it will be winter soon, and the resettlement of the displaced people is a big problem."

"It's better to issue a decree and let other state capitals take in the homeless, at least until the winter."

Li Shimin sighed tiredly.

Letting the state capitals through which the displaced people pass through to shelter them is quite simple.

But where is there so much food in those state capitals that can feed and drink thousands of people for several months?

Seeing this, Xiao Yu next to him also took a step forward.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks this is not appropriate."

"Since the displaced people are heading towards Guanzhong, then the state capitals that Fang Gong said must be those in Guanzhong."

"But the granary in Guanzhong is actually not rich, especially in the past few years, we also had a drought and flood in Guanzhong."

"Why don't you send someone to divide some of them and go to Jiangnan, where it will be richer."

Hearing this, Li Shimin's head hurt even more.

Diverting refugees to Gangnam?

He can tell the truth!

In addition to those in Jiannan Province, Kanto is located in the Central Plains, and those displaced people have to walk to Jiangnan on their legs, and the weather is getting colder......

I'm afraid I'll have to die on the way!

In the Taiji Hall, the atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

In the face of natural disasters, there is no better way than to open warehouses and release grain and shelter refugees.

There are also some things that these ministers do not say directly.

If hunger is everywhere......

The biggest problem is to prevent the pandemic after the catastrophe.

Right now.

Outside the hall, there was a sudden rumor from the palace.

"Your Majesty, the son of a man from Gongyi County, Lu Heng asks to see you!"

Hear this.

Li Shimin's eyes suddenly lit up!

He smiled at the ministers in front of him.

"Everyone, Aiqing, let's go back to deal with official business first, put aside the matter of the displaced people for the time being, and I will see if there is any other way."

"Xuan Ling, you stay."

After the order, His Majesty Li Er raised his chin and said outside:

"Xuan Lu Heng is here!"

Including Fang Xuanling, who was left behind, everyone looked at each other.

What's going on?

Two days ago, Lu Tongren, a man from Gongyi County, was suddenly sealed......

Where did Lu Heng, the son of a man in this county, come from?

It seems that Your Majesty attaches great importance to this person!

But no matter how curious they were, His Majesty Li Er's golden mouth said that the emperor's order could not be disobeyed.

The crowd retreated honestly.

When only Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling were left in the hall, Lu Heng was taken in by the palace people.

didn't wait for Lu Heng to speak.

Li Shimin smiled and asked:

"Lu Heng, why did you remember to enter the palace today?"

"If it hadn't been for the coincidence, I would have forgotten what you said earlier!"

Lu Heng looked confused.

He couldn't remember what Li Shimin said at all.

I've said so many things, which one is it?

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? The minister came to see you today to ask if you can buy a restaurant! ”

He folded his fingers and said:

"There is a royal restaurant in the West Market, and the shopkeeper said that it was a royal property, and it was not sold, and the attitude was very poor."

"Chen pondered, this kind of service attitude will definitely not make much money, and this restaurant is notoriously bad in the West Market."

"So I want to ask you, whether the restaurant sells or not, can you make the decision?"

Li Shimin was choked at that time.

Just now he was discussing the matter of the displaced people, and suddenly heard Lu Heng asking to see him, and he naturally felt that the other party was here to offer advice.

As a result, after a long time, this stinky boy came to buy a restaurant?

It's still the restaurant of the imperial merchant!

His Majesty Li Er pulled his face:

"What a mess, I don't care about these chores!"

"If you want to ask the restaurant, why don't you go to the queen and ask?"

Lu Heng said with a hippie smile:

"Isn't this a difference between men and women, when you are there, the minister can go to see the queen, but you are not there, where can the minister enter!"

"Your Majesty, in short, it's a trivial matter, you can solve it with your mouth."

"You don't have to bother the queen mother, right?"

Li Shimin's temples jumped suddenly.

He had heard about the restaurant from He De and Li Chengqian before.

I thought that it would be okay to reward Lu Heng with some capital, but I didn't expect this kid to kick his nose in the face and want to sell the Royal Restaurant to him by himself!

His face sank like water, and he said:

“…… Okay, I'm right. ”

"You can talk to He De about this matter later, and let him help with it."

Lu Hengxing happily arched his hand and said:

"Then the minister won't bother you to do business, and the minister will retire!"

He was about to turn around and run away with oil on the soles of his feet.

As a result, Li Shimin's face became even more gloomy and he spoke.

"Lu Heng, you have asked for benefits from me, don't you plan to help me share my worries?"

Sharing worries?

Lu Heng stopped and looked back.

I met Fang Xuanling's eyes.

He didn't know the old man in front of him, and he didn't know who the other person was.

But since His Majesty Li Er can discuss matters with the other party alone, it is not a simple role to think of.

So Lu Heng scratched his head and said:

"Your Majesty, you have the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty to share your worries, just look for them if you have anything."

"Yichen, this person looks very knowledgeable at first glance, why don't you ask him?"

This kid is so silly!

Li Shimin was so annoyed that he stood up directly and strode to Lu Heng and Fang Xuanling.

He grabbed Lu Heng's collar and asked:

"Don't talk nonsense with me!"

"Before, you went to Haikou with He Dekua, saying that it is nothing to waste food by brewing wine, and you have your own way to shorten the food in the imperial court."

"Come, tell me now, what can you do!"

Lu Heng thought carefully for a long time.

I finally remembered when I said this.

Isn't it just that when he was planning to open a restaurant before, He De explained the pros and cons to him, and he said it in a hurry?

Do you want to tell His Majesty Li Er about this kind of chatter?

He De is not a son of man!!

Lu Heng's face stiffened, and he said:

"Did the minister say that? I don't think so. ”

Li Shimin viciously carried him tighter.

"If I say yes, you have!"
