The next day, Gundam and other city gates opened, immediately rushed to Changle Township, it took two hours to travel, but he ran out of a world record, ran back in an hour and a half, Li Yong finished exercising and was reading a book on a rocking chair in the yard, suddenly smoke and dust billowed outside the door, and with the sound of hurried horse hooves and people's scolding, in the blink of an eye, I saw a black horse rushing to the door, Gundam jumped off the horse's back in a dashing manner, but Gundam did not go to Li Yong, just shook his hand with him, and walked like a drunken drunk, Gasping for breath and walking into a hut, Li Yong put down the Analects in his hand and thought about how Gundam was in such a hurry to come back, could it be that something had changed? It shouldn't be, just when Li Yong couldn't figure it out, Gundam came out of the thatched hut, since Gundam became Li Yong's manager, he built another house next to Li Yong's thatched hut, the first is to protect Li Yong, the second is to take care of him, Li Yong scoffed at this, just protect him, if someone wants to kill him, it is impossible to send only one person, just one Gundam is to send, take care of yourself, that's even more nonsense, since Li Yong asked the blacksmith to build an iron pot and shovel, Li Yong's stir-fry made Gundam no longer eat outside dishes, Three meals a day are mixed in the yard on time

Li Yong didn't rush to ask, and waited for Gundam to recover before speaking.

"What happened? Let you rush back in a hurry. ”

Gouda drank three bowls of water in the house and rested for half an hour before he recovered, and he hurriedly said to Li Yong.

"Young master, there is no danger in collecting grain this time, the old bachelor is really a talent, and in just a few words, those families took out 1.2 million stone grain ......"

"How many will you wait?"

"One million and two hundred thousand stones."

When Li Yong heard 1.2 million stones, because he heard it wrong, he got up from the rocking chair with a rub, and when Gundam saw Li Yong's surprised appearance, he was still proud, but when he heard Li Yong shouting and asked, he was a little scared, thinking if the young master had already guessed something, so he repeated weakly, Li Yong held his forehead and felt a headache, thinking that these two can really do things, 1.2 million stone grain, how many goods do you have to exchange, although he said that he had food in his hand, he didn't panic, but this is too much, A bunch of uncomfortable guys, but you still have to ask what the hell is going on.

"Tell me what's going on?"

Gundam looked at Li Yong's unkind look, and told him how they entered the city in a high-profile manner, and how the old bachelor was extravagant and profligate to attract the eyes of various families, and fought against the major families in the Yaju Pavilion, and finally won 1.2 million stone grains.

"Hey, I found that you are very good at storytelling, how about you and the old bachelor go to Chang'an to tell stories?"

"No, young master, I'll describe it to you better."

"Great, you guys are awesome, you're really going to find something for me, do you know how much soap and soap you need for 1.2 million stones? I was cheated by that bastard of the old bachelor, and you are stupid to report the good news and receive the reward with me, right? Is your brain in water? Or was it squeezed by the door? Have you ever considered my feelings? ”

Li Yong was scolded by these two angry people walking back and forth, and Gao Da could only look at Li Yong, who was walking around with a fragrant mouth, was he really pitted by the old bachelor?

"Young master, don't turn around, I'm dazzled."

"Yo, I got you in the eye, didn't I? I can't tell you, do you? Beep, look at my invincible fist. ”

Although Li Yong insisted on exercising and practicing Bajiquan every day, but for veterans from the battlefield like Gundam, the lethality was still not enough, and when Li Yong was tired, Gundam hurriedly helped him sit back on the rocking chair like a dog's leg, and also fanned him with a pu fan, Li Yong was also tired, and even the corners of people's clothes were touched for a long time, and he was tired and half dead, so he could only sit in the rocking chair and pant and take the bowl handed by Gundam to drink saliva and rest.

"Young master, something has happened, we have to think about the good, you are angry."

"Sooner or later, I'll be pissed off by you bastards, but I can't blame you entirely, because you don't understand what supply and demand and product surplus are, so you can make such a low-level mistake."

"Master, what is the relationship between supply and demand, and what is a surplus of products? Tell me about it, so I don't make the same mistake in the future. ”

"Okay, in order to avoid you from making the same mistake in the future, I will briefly tell you that the relationship between supply and demand is simply the mutual demand in buying and selling, but there is a balance here, for example, this time, we have soap and soap in our hands, the other party has food, we need food disaster relief, they need soap and soap to make money, which forms a supply and demand relationship, originally our output can only be exchanged for 500,000 grains now, but you and the old bachelor have a grain of 1.2 million at once, but we don't have so much soap and soap, This upsets the equilibrium between supply and demand. ”

"Oh, I understand, that is, how much money is exchanged for how much money, when people don't need so much, we still smash it desperately, not to mention that we can't make money, but we can't sell it, right?"

"Well, yes, this is the problem of product surplus, the market volume is so large, you smash so much into it at once, how to digest it, if you can't sell it, it will be unsalable, and the price will fall."

"I understand, it's the meaning of scarcity is precious, this time I was killed by the old bachelor, see if I can't kill him, I just said how to feel wrong, it turns out that this is the case."

"Forget it, even if you spend money to buy a lesson this time, the inventory and reserves on the workshop should be enough, I was originally put on the market in an orderly manner, you guys are good, I have made a big product promotion at once, I hope you remember this lesson, you go to the workshop now to arrange for someone to pull away the goods you need, I estimate that it is about the same, and at the same time let half of the workers in the soap workshop go to the perfume workshop, and the rest of the people re-plan the output."

"Yes."

Gundam saluted Li Yong and rode on his horse to the Xishan camp, where it has become a village, there are constantly victims settled in Changle Township and settled there, although they are all simple thatched houses, but at least they can shelter from the wind and rain, and there are all kinds of workshops to work, the owner also pays them a lot of wages, with wages you can buy food and various items, this is a virtuous circle, Gundam rushed to the soap workshop and the person in charge explained Li Yong's instructions, and then counted the amount of soap and soap that needed to be delivered this time, After everything was done, it was evening, a truck full of soap and soap came out of the workshop, Gouda rushed to Chang'an overnight with a hundred young men, in the fief of Princess Changle, who did not know Gundam, the eldest princess guard, plus this month, he was busy outside the city to help the victims, and the soldiers defending the city turned a blind eye to them leaving the city despite the curfew, and let them leave.

"Qiyu sage, Yongzhou, Shangzhou, Qizhou, Fengzhou came to report, the locust plague crossed, and the grain particles in the four states were not harvested."

"What?"

Li Er took the fold handed over by the eunuch, read the words on it at a glance and ten lines, and then slapped it heavily on the table, and all the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace were frightened, kneeling down and not daring to breathe.

"Should be killed, these officials concealed it and did not report it, they should all be killed, passed on the decree, Yongzhou, Shangzhou, Qizhou, Fengzhou four prefectures assassinated the history of dereliction of duty, dismissed from the investigation and escorted back to Beijing, let the Ministry of Officials, the Criminal Department, and the Dali Temple three divisions interrogate."

"Yes!"

After the eunuch beside Li Shimin received the decree, he saluted Li Shimin and exited the hall.

"Please invite the eldest grandson Wuji, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, and Wei Zheng into the palace."

"Yes."

Another eunuch withdrew from the hall, Li Shimin's eyes returned to the twist and turn just now, and he remembered his baby daughter Changle, when she warned Fang Xuanling of the locust plague, but he didn't believe this absurd statement, is a country man more powerful than his eighteen bachelors of the Qin Palace? Is it comparable to the civil and military officials with superior wisdom in the Manchu Dynasty? It's definitely impossible, but the reality is that he was slapped in the face, or the kind that was beaten very loudly, Li Shimin drank absentmindedly and thought about what to do next, Sun Wuji, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, and Wei Zheng hurried over after receiving the eunuch's order.

"Enlightened saint, the four adults are waiting outside the hall."

"Let them in."

"Yes."

The eunuch turned around and retreated outside the hall and made a gesture of invitation to Sun Wuji, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, and Wei Zheng.

"The saint declares that all the adults will enter the temple."

Sun Wuji, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, and Wei Zheng hurriedly tidied up their clothes, and then entered the Hall of Virtue.

"See the saints."

"Excuse me, give me a seat."

"Thank you, saint!"

The four of them glanced at each other, and muttered in their hearts, the saint's face was not good, and he estimated that he wanted to ask about the locust plague, but he had to deal with it carefully, and the four of them sat down cautiously, and no one dared to speak first.

"Ladies and gentlemen, take a look at this recital."

The eunuch carefully took the fold handed by Li Shimin with both hands, and then first walked to the eldest grandson Wuji and handed it to him, although the grades of the four were about the same, but who made him the emperor's eldest brother, the eldest grandson Wuji was not polite The result of the fold, quickly looked up, and after reading the silent hand to Du Ruhui on the side, Du Ruhui was the same, knowing the last Wei Zheng, Wei Zheng was a famous cannon barrel, and he scolded the emperor in the sky, sure enough, Wei Zheng stood up angrily and saluted and Li Shimin said loudly as soon as he finished reading the fold.

"Qi Qi saints, these people are the moths of the country, and the corpses are vegetarian, and they should be strictly investigated."

"Wei Qing, sit down and say, the four people you said, a certain person has issued an order to escort back to Beijing, so that the three divisions of the Ministry of Officials, the Criminal Department, and the Dali Temple will be tried, and now I want a few people to come over, this locust plague is so serious, what are the countermeasures."

Li Shimin pressed his hand and asked Wei Zheng to sit down.

"Sage, this locust plague is so big that it is beyond our expectations, now we should appease the people's hearts and open food for disaster relief."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling glanced at each other, and were silent about the eldest grandson Wuji according to the previous imperial court disaster relief process, only Wei Zheng agreed with the eldest grandson Wuji's statement, this can't be blamed Wei Zheng, he is a royal historian who pickets hundreds of officials on weekdays, and it can be said that he doesn't know anything about this kind of disaster relief, Li Shimin also saw Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling silent, knowing that the two of them must have different opinions, Du Xuanfang Mou Gemini is very famous in history.

"Keming, Xuan Ling, you can also talk about it."

Fang Xuanling glanced at Du Ruhui, Du Ruhui nodded slightly, Fang Xuanling took out a book from his sleeve and said to Li Shimin.

"Qi Qi Sage, the minister does not agree with the proposal of Lord Changsun, this locust plague is even more serious than before, and the previous disaster relief methods of the imperial court are far from being able to cope with this locust plague."

The eunuch took Fang Xuanling's recital and handed it to Li Shimin, Li Shimin opened Fang Xuanling's recital and signaled him to continue.

"Go on."

"The locust plague has affected 164 counties in the four states, and there is no grain harvest in the four states, and what is even worse is that there is not a single grain of rice in the granaries of the four states, and these huge rats have sold them to grain dealers in various forms for huge profits, and they can't get out the relief grain."

"What? Damn, these people deserve to die, is there any proof? ”

Li Shimin stood up like thunder and turned around with his hands behind his back, Fang Xuanling seemed to have opened the conversation, and took out an account book from his sleeve and handed it to the eunuch, Li Shimin sat back and looked at the account book that Fang Xuanling gave him.

"Enlighten the saints, this is their account book, so that the hundred horsemen can verify the authenticity."

Li Shimin knew that Fang Xuanling would not lie to him, but looking at the names of the accounts, Li Shimin's face was darker than the bottom of the pot, and the names of the families poked into his heart like knives.

"Li Junxian."

"So-and-so."

A middle-aged military general wearing bright armor and a Tang sword walked in from outside the hall and knelt down on one knee, this person was Li Junxian, the commander of Li Shimin's Hundred Cavalry Division.

"Be sure to find out who is on the account."

"Yes."

Li Junxian took the account book handed over by the eunuch with both hands, and then turned to leave.

"Xuan Ling, you go on."

"Sage, this locust plague, Weichen has asked people to investigate, and I just got preliminary statistics that the number of people affected this time is 100,000."

Hearing that there were as many as 100,000 victims, everyone in the hall had a numb scalp, gasped, and thought, mother, or the preliminary statistics are 100,000, if so, how much? At the same time, Li Yong also received a message from Chang'an, Li Yong looked at the message written on the letterhead, shook his head and threw it into the brazier to burn it.

"It's time to come, it's still coming, the locust plague in the second year of Zhenguan in history has finally broken out, I hope there will be fewer deaths this time."
