Until the end of September, there was still no rain falling in Luoyang.

Instead of alleviating the drought, it has intensified.

In some high-lying places, it is difficult for people and animals to drink water.

The scene of the national mobilization to fight the disaster that Yun Chu expected has not yet appeared, but the government has begun to get busy.

Chang'an, Luoyang, Chengdu, Jinyang, Yangzhou...... In the same way, the grain stored in the granaries of the state capitals in the big cities began to be delivered to the lower state capitals, and similarly, the grain in the granaries of the state capitals began to be transported to the counties below.

In the end, food can only stay at the county level.

Therefore, under the condition of obtaining county orders from all counties to ensure that the grain reserves are sufficient, Li Zhi ordered that whoever has a large-scale famine in his jurisdiction will die.

The two imperial history air groups were dispatched, the hundred cavalry Sikong groups were dispatched, and the officials of the official department, the household department, and the young government supervisor were also dispatched to the county level.

The reserves of the big cities were given to the state capital, and the reserves of the state capital were given to the counties, so the big cities and the state capital did not need to be disciplined, and the focus was on the county, so the emperor gave the county orders of the 4,824 counties of the Tang Dynasty great authority this time - the right to act cheaply during the disaster.

That is to say, during the famine, the prefectural order can have full authority over the people, goods, soldiers and horses of the whole county, as long as it is related to the disaster relief and beneficial things, the prefectural order can act as appropriate regardless of etiquette, rules, and systems.

This is already the maximum extent that Emperor Li Zhi can decentralize power.

After giving people, money, food, and power, if you can't do a good job, you will die, or the whole family will die, or the whole family will die, which will be a problem that needs to be considered on the table of the whole Datang County Order.

There is no fourth option.

Although Li Zhi's order was very strong, the rewards were also very rich, and the counties that had reached the first level in various performances of the disaster victims would be rewarded by the face of the saint and the emperor.

In counties where the performance of disaster relief has reached the second level, the assessment of the officials will be the best choice.

Counties that have reached the third level in various performances for disaster relief will be selected for the assessment of the officials.

The above three performances are already a matter of holding the handle.

Counties that fail to reach the above three levels of performance will end up worrying, and their performance will not be even!

After Yun Chu read the regulations, he felt that this was the official Li Hong was preparing the position in his pocket in advance.

In the process, there will inevitably be a lot of vomiting power swaps, but on the whole, the pros outweigh the disadvantages.

Similarly, in the emperor's will, there was no mention of the importance of the people in fighting the disaster, which is why Yun Chu believed that the emperor did not mobilize the whole country.

As always, they think that the quality of the flock has nothing to do with the flock, but only with the shepherd.

In September, knowing that it was still calling, this was not a good sign.

According to the folk saying, the September is called, and the army does not stop, which is a harbinger of military disasters.

Yun Chu stood in front of the map and was puzzled, he didn't find a place in the country where he needed to use troops.

Subsequently, Emperor Li Zhi's second decree was issued - the border army should raise its own grain and straw, and the deadline was three years!

After seeing this will, Yun Chu suddenly realized that the source of the war disaster was originally here!

There are as many as 490,000 troops guarding the frontier of the whole Tang Dynasty, and the emperor thinks that the strong border army should not grab food from the people in the disaster year, so what do they eat?

With the best weapons and equipment in the world, isn't it used to farm the land and rob your own people? This could not be done, and once it was done, the more well-equipped army of the Sixteen Guards soon came over and cut them all to pulp.

So......

It has been six years since the center of the Tang Dynasty did not allow the border army of the Tang Dynasty to provoke border friction, and now, there is no such thing, although there is not a word in the emperor's will that they are allowed to step out of the country, but every word that every border army general reads from the will is to encourage them to go abroad to do something like fighting grass valley.

The generals of the border army were about to go crazy when they were restrained by the center before, and the Kunlun slaves, the Bodhisattva barbarians, the Silla maids, and the Japanese slaves were so valuable that they could only endure saliva and watch others get rich.

Not anymore.

There are many strong Kunlun slaves in the southwest forest, and they send people to catch them and find food by the way.

There are many bodhisattvas in the west, and you can get a lot of them back by breaking a few unknown small countries.

When the Silla people in the east destroyed the country, they fled with a large number of Silla women of the highest quality, and when the time came, they were hunted down, not only Silla women, but also those Silla nobles who fled had money in their hands.

The silver on the side of the Japanese country was transported back and forth in a boat, and the Japanese slaves could be turned into food when they were brought back in strings......

Therefore, after Li Zhi's will reached the hands of the border army, those border army generals suddenly became people who worried about the country and the people, and each promised the emperor that they would feed their subordinates and not burden the court, and some people suggested that His Majesty the emperor could extend this period to five years.

Yun Chu was very worried after hearing the news, he was not very worried about the border army being starved to death, he was worried that the 490,000 army would get used to looting and become bandits who were not under the control of the imperial court, and finally jump out of An Lushan, Shi Siming and other figures.

Yun Chu cautiously conveyed his opinion to the emperor through his son Yun Jin.

Li Zhi, who was feeding the giant bear bamboo, replied to Yun Jin lightly: "They don't dare!" ”

Yun Jin covered his nose and cleaned up a large number of youth regiments that the giant bear had just pulled, and said, "My father thinks that the army is a disciplined force and can't be left alone. ”

Li Zhi said: "The army is a place where blood gathers, what is the use of an army that only has discipline and no flesh? ”

Yun Jin put the last piece of the Youth League into the dustpan and said, "What if the unrestrained and bloody army is in chaos?" ”

Li Zhi said with a smile: "I am the confidence of their invincibility, and I am also the confidence of them to dare to leave the territory of the Tang Dynasty to forage for food outside."

Tell them that they have to feed not only themselves, but also me, and that my palace costs a lot of money for a year. ”

Hearing what the emperor said, Yun Jin didn't continue to ask, but began to bathe the giant bear with Ruichun, who brought water and soap.

That's right, it's never the eunuchs who serve the giant bear to bathe, Gong'e - it's the emperor himself!

It's just that his health has been bad in the past two years, so he allowed the secretary to help him with Ruichun.

Even so, when the giant bear took a bath, the emperor still had to stand aside and appease the giant bear who refused to take a bath obediently.

A five-hundred-pound giant bear sits in a huge bathtub like a mountain, sometimes when the bath is not happy, it will stretch out its paws to pull the person who helps it bathe, even if Yun Jin and Ruichun are both strong people, but in front of the infinitely powerful giant bear, it is still not enough, and the giant bear can push the two of them away roughly.

Yun Jin quickly discovered this, and when the giant bear's claws swung over again, Yun Jin quickly dodged, after all, the giant bear's body was large and not so flexible.

Yun Jin remembered that Aya once said that this giant bear had a good temper, he was very polite when he met people, and sometimes he seemed very humble, since he became the emperor's secretary, this giant bear was not as good to serve as Aya said, and even called it stubborn.

As soon as the claws didn't push Yun Jin, the giant bear began to play tricks, and the two paws took turns to find trouble with Yun Jin, and as long as Yun Jin turned in which direction, the giant bear moved its fat body to turn there.

Finally, the giant bear was soaped all over his body, and rinsed it with water, and a beautiful black and white beautiful and mighty flower bear was displayed in front of Yun Jin.

It's just the two round eyes in the middle of the two dark circles, looking at Yun Jin's expression is extremely unkind.

Fortunately, Li Zhi saw that the giant bear had been washed, so he beckoned it to lie down on the mat over there, waiting for the water stains on his body to dry.

Then, Yun Jin saw the giant bear standing in place, the fat on its body began to tighten, and then its full fur began to slide violently as if it had been detached from the fat, and then, the water droplets in the sky soaked Yun Jin and Ruichun.

Seeing the emperor take the giant bear to bask in the sun, Yun Jin said to Ruichun: "You are the Grand Governor of the Hundred Horsemen. ”

Ruichun wiped the water on his face and said, "You are still the emperor's son-in-law." ”

Yun Jin said: "Can't you let others come?" ”

Ruichun shook his head and said: "You can't give others the opportunity to serve this bear, otherwise, there will be a lot of noble ministers in Datang who will become honorable ministers because they serve this bear well."

Over the years, it has become a practice in the palace.

Oh, you're the first secretary who can serve the Giant Bear, and the previous secretary didn't have that chance to die.

However, it's good that you're here, Your Majesty hasn't killed the secretary for a month and a half. ”

Yun Jin gasped when she heard this, "What about the previous secretary? ”

Ruichun sighed and said, "The longest one has been working for less than three months." ”

"Why?"

"Why?" Seeing the emperor walking away, Ruichun couldn't help but raise his voice and said, "There are three kings in the Tang Dynasty!" The queen asked, and the secretary answered or not? The prince asked, and the secretary replied or not?

Others want to know the emperor's secrets, they will only secretly hook up with the secretary, not to be seen, these two are good, they definitely don't collude with the secretary, and they ask directly every time.

After these two asked, they didn't cover it up for the secretary, and felt that the emperor's secret matter was related to them, so they would ask His Majesty directly, the reason and purpose of doing so were very open and honest!

Therefore, if the secretary does not answer, it is impossible to survive the next day.

It's good to be Your Majesty's secretary, even if the secretary is an official position of the fifth grade, or even the existence of the secretary in the prison second only to the secretary, do you think that anyone in the secretary prison has ever said half a word to you as His Majesty's secretary?

Burning incense and worshiping the Buddha all day long, praying that you can live a long life and be healthy, and there are many secretaries and prisoners in prison. ”

Yun Jin thought for a while and said, "Don't say it, I'm really the best candidate for Your Majesty's secretary, but you still have to hurry up and choose a new secretary, because I'm about to marry Princess Anding back to Chang'an." ”

Ruichun smiled bitterly: "The life of the secretary and supervisor is not good again. ”

Yun Jin said with a smile: "Hurry up and find another son-in-law for Your Majesty to be the secretary." ”

Ruichun said: "Only Princess Taiping's concubine may survive in the hands of His Majesty." ”

Yun Jin smiled: "Then hurry up." ”

Ruichun said: "Your brother Yunluan...... It is quite popular with the queen. ”

Yun Jin shook his head and said, "Don't even think about it, my brother and Taiping are brothers now!" ”

Ruichun said puzzledly: "Brother? ”

Yun Jin nodded and said, "That's right, it's a brother who can pee together!" ”

"Brothers peeing together? With Taiping? ”

Yun Jin nodded and said, "It is impossible for Taiping to marry anyone to marry Yun Luan." ”

"How?"

"You are the Grand Governor of the Hundred Cavalry Division, just send someone to investigate."

Ruichun looked at Yun Jin, who was walking towards the emperor, and fell into deep thought...... He always felt that there should be something going on that he didn't know was going on.

Since raising the white-eyed wolf Prince Hong, Wu Mei did not let Ying Wang Xian and Yu Wang Dan become vassals early, but kept them in the palace cluster of Shangyang Palace and continued to live a carefree life.

Today, the Shaoyang Palace where King Li Xian lives is full of fragrance.

In the courtyard of the spacious Shaoyang Palace, there are five huge steamers, just under the steamer, each has a pile of agarwood crumbs are emitting curling green smoke, and the smoke that exudes a strong agarwood smell enters the steamer, and the five people who sit in the steamer, only showing one head are enjoying their faces.

A group of eunuchs and palace maids were busy in the courtyard, and some were responsible for pulling curtains to block the wind, so that the agarwood smoke would not be affected by the wind and all enter the steamer.

Agarwood has always been a tribute to the court six years ago in Yonghui, and even the officials of the court can only wait for the royal reward.

When Li Ji returned from his Eastern Crusade, the emperor rewarded Li Ji with 50 catties of agarwood, and Li Ji did not enjoy it exclusively, but distributed the 50 catties of agarwood to the generals who followed his Eastern Crusade, which was a good talk for a while.

The Yun family got half a catty, and it was hidden as a treasure by Yu Xiurong.

Yun Chudu is like this, not to mention ordinary people, it is even more difficult to reach, which can be regarded as priceless.

After the Yonghui year, because of the wealth of Chang'an, the social atmosphere is extravagant, not only the imperial city in the agarwood has become a popular product, due to serious corruption, some officials in charge of the affairs of the palace will also privately detain some agarwood and sell him to the powerful or wealthy families, Yu Xiurong took advantage of the close relationship with the East Palace, and got a hundred catties.

Later, he was taken away by Sun Shenxian and took the medicine, and when it comes to this, Yu Xiurong is still very regretful.

Today, five guys who don't know the height of the sky are burning the fire with agarwood crumbs that are more expensive than gold.

"Little bird, do you think that if you smoke it like this, you can really keep the fragrance on our bodies forever?"

Listening to Yu Wangdan's question, Yun Luan, who had been half-asleep by the agarwood crumbs, barely opened his eyes and said, "Have you eaten bacon?" ”

Yu Wangdan said: "I like to eat with the fragrance of pine and cypress. ”

Yun Luan yawned and said: "That's my family's property, let me tell you, if you want pine and cypress flavored bacon, take pine and cypress branches and smoke it slowly, I heard that after smoking and roasting it repeatedly for a period of time, the meat will have that taste." ”

Ying Wang Xian is a person who has studied spices very much, and then said: "After we fumigate with agarwood crumbs, the fragrance will invade the texture, and after a few more fumigations, the agarwood fragrance will be mixed with our body, even if we don't use incense, the body will naturally emit the fragrance of agarwood."

However, this is just a base taste, you must know that the simple aroma taste is not good, compound incense is the best, we first use agarwood as the base incense, and then use other fragrances to reconcile the new fragrance, and then change the simple agarwood aroma in our body, in this way, longevity not to mention, no matter when and where in the future, our body can automatically emit the aroma we like.

In this way, wouldn't it be good to completely separate us nobles from those vulgar people and become one with ourselves? ”

Princess Taiping's little head was also exposed outside the steamer, and when she heard this, she laughed and said, "Little bird, your brother is a talent, why did he like that poisonous woman in Anding?" ”

The cloud beside Taiping immediately said: "The princess hasn't seen Li Si climbing the wall in a tights yet, tsk, that is, the eldest brother likes to watch it, and a few of us have to cover our eyes when we see it, that fart. Pouting, no eyes. ”

Taiping said: "I want to see it." ”

Yun Qi said: "Luoyang didn't climb the wall, when you go to Chang'an, I'll take you to take a sneak look, don't you know, Li Si's body is full of hard tendon meat, ugly to death."

I haven't shown that my brother likes that Webster is good-looking, I must grow into Webster's appearance in the future, Taiping, you are too thin, you have to eat more in the future, and now men like to be fat. ”

When the British King heard this, he laughed and said, "That's it, that's it, Webster is good-looking." ”

Taiping nodded vigorously and said, "Little bird, you must help me destroy the stable wedding dress." ”

Yun Luan said lazily: "Do you care so much about that torn clothes?" ”

Taiping said: "I just can't get used to her smug look." ”

Yun Luan said: "Marry me, I will definitely beg my mother to help you get a better one." ”

Taiping looked at Yun Luan with disdain and said, "Are you dreaming? ”

Yun Qiqi hurriedly said on the side: "Your sister can marry my eldest brother, it's good for you to marry Xiaoniao." ”

Taiping laughed and said: "Li Si, that stupid person can marry your eldest brother is already my father's emperor's sake, Lantian Marquis is a meritorious object, she is an object to reward meritorious heroes, I am not!" ”

Yun Qi said: "The little bird grows very well, and the knowledge is good, you only have a share of happiness when you marry." ”

Princess Taiping laughed even louder.

"Blessed? Did this princess send you that little blessing from the Yun family? What are the good looks of the birds? Yun Qi, you are a young man who has never seen the world, Webster, Du's spring banquet, which one is not better than a bird?

When I get to the next party, I will take the two of you from Chang'an to have a look, and it will also open my eyes.

Let you know that in this world there is not only a kind of land, war, but also singing and dancing, beautiful women, and the most beautiful voices. ”

Yun Luan was obviously a little angry, and said to Taiping: "The man of the Yun family is the man who rules the world, and the good man who rules the world, and the rest are just grass chicken-like guys, not worthy of your golden phoenix." ”

As soon as Yun Luan's words fell, Ying Wang Xian and Yu Wang Dan turned their heads to look at Yun Luan together, and Ying Wang Xian said angrily: "You even include our brothers, right?" ”

Yun Luan hurriedly said, "What about your sister-in-law's future husband, what does it matter to you?"

Taiping laughed when he heard this.

The five of them stayed in the steamer for almost two hours before they came out of the steamer and sniffed each other like dogs. “

Yun Luan also wanted to put his nose on Taiping, but was pushed away by Taiping, Yun Luan smiled: "I often live in Zhilan's room, and I haven't smelled its fragrance for a long time." ”

Taiping looked at Yun Luan with disgust and said: "I hope it is not to live in abalone for a long time, and I will not feel its smell for a long time." ”

Yun Luan laughed and said: "My father once said that the toad is matched with the swan, it is not without a chance, as long as you have patience, when the swan lands, you will fiercely hold the swan's legs......"

Taiping saw that Yunluan seemed to pounce, and quickly hid behind Yu Wangdan, wrinkled his good-looking nose and said, "Brother Wang, drive away this toad." ”

The fragrant Yun Luan and Yun Qi sat in the carriage and looked at each other tiredly.

Yun Qi said: "The queen seems to really like you, otherwise she wouldn't have deliberately matched the two of you." ”

Yun Luan rubbed his face with his hand and said: "It's really troublesome, on the one hand, I want to let the queen know that I am trying my best to please Taiping, and on the other hand, I want to make Taiping like to play with me, but I hate me for pursuing her, and the balance between this is not easy to grasp." ”

Yun Qi smiled: "The most important thing is that you have to act as stupid as them, it's really hard for you." ”

Yun Luan showed a smirk and said, "I'm stupid. ”

The carriage took the two to the Yun family near the White Horse Temple.

When the dinner was held in the evening, Yun Luan and Yun Qi didn't see Li Si, so they asked Aya in surprise.

"Where is Sister Sisi?"

Yun Chu glanced at Lai Yunluan and said, "Play and play, don't put yourself in it." ”

Yun Luan said: "I'm very smart. ”

Yu Xiurong said to Yun Luan worriedly: "Taiping is not necessary." ”

Yun Luan raised his head and looked at his mother and said, "That eye of yours sees that the child likes peace?" ”

Yu Xiurong said: "The color of Taiping is very good......

Yun Luan grabbed the Yun Qi beside him and said: "How old is this, there is makeup, and if you remove the makeup, you can't even compare to the Qi Qi, where is the good color?" ”

Yu Xiurong said: "I see that you go to find Taiping every day......"

Yun Luan and Yun Luan glanced at each other and said, "Ah Niang, you don't know, there is everything in Taiping, and many things that you don't allow us to do because of the cost can be done now." ”

Yu Xiurong sniffed the unique fragrance of agarwood coming from the two of them and said, "It's too much." ”

Yun Jin said: "In the future, you will pretend to be more like, according to your requirements, I have told Ruichun about you and Taiping, and in the future, what you do will be known by the emperor." ”

Yun Luan nodded while eating, the matter has risen to the emperor, and the queen level is very serious, he needs to further disguise, or treat himself as his real self to have a chance to deceive those two and completely cut off future troubles.

Yun Chu has been eating quietly, and he is not prepared to express superfluous opinions on the affairs of Yun Jin and Yun Luan, just beat the side drum by himself, and he must not make decisions on their own for them.

All the benefits in this world are not in vain, as long as there are benefits, there will be people to fight for them, and if you win, you can enjoy the fruits of victory, and if you fail, then there is no way, just swallow the bitter fruits of yourself.

This is life, it is better to be a king or a loser.
