42. I was wrong
It's another day.
At present, the disaster prevention and relief work in the customs has entered a stage of stabilization, and generally speaking, it is under control.
There is a saying...... The grasshoppers after the autumn can't jump for a few days.
Of course, autumn has not yet arrived, but the locusts have a limited lifespan and will one day die one after another.
The plague of locusts will also be extinguished.
Dou Desu, the superintendent of the Shaofu Palace, reported to Li Shimin on the current trend of grain prices in the palace.
At present, under the impact of low-priced grain, grain prices are falling very rapidly, which catches people off guard.
Some grain merchants who closed their warehouses panicked and hurriedly opened the market to stop losses.
However, as everyone knows, there is more grain on the market, and the competition between them is also increasing, which cannot affect the trend of grain prices in the slightest.
On the contrary, someone has set a precedent, can other grain merchants balance their hearts?
So they rushed to follow suit.
For a time, a large amount of grain flowed into the market, and in a very short period of time, it changed from being in short supply to a state of oversupply.
Food prices have also directly exceeded the lowest values of this year.
Hearing this, Li Shimin finally put his heart back in his stomach.
At the same time, that unpretentious face resurfaced in my mind.
Shixin, Shixin, you, the tiger of the world, actually gave birth to a son of a unicorn, which really makes me envious.
I was ashamed of you at the beginning, and your children are still behind the scenes......
It's time to see this good boy for yourself.
At this point, Li Shimin finally made time and made up his mind.
After Dou Desu, Shaoqing Hu Yan of Dali Temple also played something.
It turned out that he was ordered to take prisoners into custody, and some of the children of the family refused to come to the case and came to ask for instructions.
Li Shimin put his face on his face and said unceremoniously: "Do you want me to teach you what to do?"
If you dare to flout the laws of the Tang Dynasty, you should be dealt with severely! ”
"Obey the order!" Hu Yan lowered his head and retreated.
"Ladies and gentlemen!"
Li Shimin stood up proudly, looked down at the ministers and said: "Since the drought in Guanzhong, too many things have happened in the DPRK and China, with twists and turns.
Today, I, Li Shimin, am here, putting aside my status as a monarch and minister, and I will tell you the thoughts that have been hidden in my heart during this time. ”
Hearing him call himself me instead of me, all the ministers hung their heads, secretly wondering what was going on in front of them.
"The so-called king is not secret, he will lose his ministers, if he is not secret, he will lose his life, and if he is not secret, he will be harmed. I think you all know the meaning of these words. ”
Li Shimin slowly walked down the heavenly steps, and said as he walked: "At the beginning of the disaster, I unreservedly explained the method of manipulating food prices in this hall......
In my opinion, this matter is related to the livelihood of the country, and even affects the use of troops against the Liang division, and the monarchs and ministers should work together to deal with it. ”
"Keming." Li Shimin came to Du Ruhui.
"The minister is here." Du Ruhui bowed slightly.
"If the Tang Dynasty declines, will it be beneficial to you?" Li Shimin asked lightly.
"Don't dare! It is a great disadvantage for the monarch and the people, and the ministers are also ashamed of Your Majesty, ashamed of the people, and stand on top of the temple without a face! Du Ruhui bowed deeply.
"How can Keming be ashamed?" Li Shimin patted his increasingly thin shoulder, "You wear many hats, work hard, and never have any selfishness."
You've been sick lately, but I've been too you.
Let me think about it and arrange the right people to take care of the heavy lifting for you. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Du Ruhui naturally can't insist on this kind of thing, otherwise he will be suspected of dictatorship, and he can only obey the king's arrangement.
"Pei Lone." Li Shimin helped Du Ruhui up, and walked towards Sikong Pei Lin again.
"The minister is here." Pei Lin bowed his head.
"If there is great chaos in the world, it will be good for you." Li Shimin asked.
Pei Lian played right: "It's not beneficial.
I wish the Tang Dynasty a smooth wind and rain, and the country's fortunes will be prosperous.
There is a way to enjoy the shade under the big tree, the Tang Dynasty is strong, and the ministers are also honored. ”
In principle, Tang officials were not allowed to engage in business, but Li Shimin made a bad start by making private money from Shaofu, and officials quietly followed suit.
Everyone tacitly understands that they are well.
Since the private hydraulic mill was put on the surface, Pei Lin has been much more low-key in this regard.
But one thing is certain.
If the world is chaotic and the court is in decline, can he still rely on the power in his hands to seek benefits?
Will he buy his account from the other families?
You must know that even between the clans, there is a chain of contempt.
"Hmmm......"
Li Shimin nodded, then looked around the entire hall, and said, "You are all ministers I rely on, and such a simple Taoist ideal must be understood in my heart."
So, I never felt like there was anything to hide from you.
But......
I seem to be wrong. ”
