Chapter 611: Good Words Are Hard to Persuade Damn Ghosts

Although the imperial examination system was passed, Li Shimin also had to make some compromises, and the number of people admitted to each imperial examination was not large.

But even so, it has given the majority of poor families and ordinary children a chance. It can be said that everyone who can be killed from this is the pride of the sky.

The imperial court implemented a series of policies such as the imperial examination system, the restriction of monasteries and Taoist temples, the implementation of the system of the integration of officials and fields, and the minting of new money.

Although these policies more or less offended the nobles and nobles in various places, with the strong support of Li Shimin, the emperor immediately, Wang Xuanjing still promoted these policies.

Xiao Yu, the original biggest opposition in the DPRK, has also been sprayed by Wang Xuanjing, and because of the Tianzhu incident, he has already entered the dialectical alley of Buddhism and belief and can't get out.

Various policies were quickly promoted in Guanzhong, and some have even been promoted outside Guanzhong.

It can be said that in the first year of Zhenguan, for most of the year, Wang Xuanjing was almost not in the court, and he had been inspecting various places to ensure that no one dared to perfunctorily block the implementation of the new policy.

The lords of the noble families everywhere, even if they are unwilling in their hearts, do not dare to show it.

In addition to these, Hebei and Shandong also began to implement new policies, because these two places were repeatedly warned, the population was greatly reduced, and the strength of the Xungui Gate was also greatly reduced, and the strength of the obstruction was even smaller.

Therefore, Wang Xuanjing went to Shandong and Hebei to inspect it.

waited until the New Year was about to return to Chang'an City.

It was just that as soon as he returned to Chang'an City, one of the sons of the Wang family who entered the Tang Dynasty came to report that there was likely to be a drought and locust plague in Guanzhong next year.

When he heard the news, Wang Xuanjing's face changed suddenly, and he didn't doubt the information given by the family at all.

The family has been investing a lot in climate research over the years and has cultivated a lot of talents, not to mention that the family has some special items that can be predicted in advance.

At this time, it is a critical period for the implementation of the new policy, once it encounters a natural disaster, it is very likely that there will be variables, and on the other hand, those gate valve families, powerful and noble are very likely to take this opportunity to do it.

Wang Xuanjing had never underestimated these people, and he knew the energy that these people could use.

These nobles and magnates who control a large amount of land, fertile land, and a lot of money can control the economy of a country.

If there is a drought or locust plague, they can easily take away the people in a commercial way.

Especially during this period of time, the imperial court has implemented the law of the integration of new money and official land and land. If those people knew, they would definitely not let go of the fat this time.

Thinking of this, Wang Xuanjing immediately wrote a quick letter, and then sent several family Yu Linwei to Huai'an with the letter.

The great drought and locust plague in Guanzhong in the Central Plains is definitely not enough food, and it seems that only the land south of the Yangtze River has surplus grain that can be transported, but the overseas controlled by the Wang family does not have too much food.

He wrote back to ask his brother to help deliver grain from overseas.

In fact, when Wang Xuanjing's letter was sent to Huai'an, Wang Xuanze prepared the grain, and then passed through the Yangtze River, entered the Han River, and went north through Wuguan to enter the Guanzhong.

The first year of Zhenguan will soon pass, this winter, there is no heavy snow in Guanzhong, only two light snows, many experienced farmers look at the thin layer of snow on the ground, many people have begun to worry.

Sure enough, after the New Year, until the beginning of spring, there was no rain in the sky, and many places on the ground were already loess flying. After the beginning of spring, God was finally gracious, and it rained lightly.

However, this light rain could not solve the drought at all, and the wheat seedlings in the field had already withered and yellowed. By now, anyone can see that this year is going to be a big drought.

Seeing this situation, Wang Xuanjing wrote a letter to invite the civil and military officials of the imperial court to go to Luoyang to eat, and at the same time ordered all parts of the south of the Yangtze River to transport grain and grass to Guanzhong.

Although there was a severe drought in the north, the south was not affected.

Li Shimin agreed with Wang Xuanjing's letter and ordered all parts of the south of the Yangtze River to transport grain north to Guanzhong and Luoyang through canals and other means.

After the construction of the Grand Canal, it became much easier to transport grain from Jiangnan to Luoyang, but it was very difficult to transport grain from Luoyang to Guanzhong.

The road from Luoyang to the customs to take the ancient road, although in recent years because of the earthquake, the road changes, but this road is still not easy to walk.

Take the waterway, it is necessary to cross the Sanmenxia, the Yellow River is very steep in this section of the Sanmenxia, the two banks are sandwiched with water, the wall stands thousands of thousands, the strange rocks in the river are craggy, the terrain is dangerous, there are two stone islands in the middle of the river to divide the river water into three strands, respectively called the 'human gate', 'ghost gate' and 'god gate', and for this reason, it is called Sanmenxia here.

And these three gates are facing a stone pillar in the river, the river water grabs the door and goes straight to the pillar, after thousands of years of washing, this pillar is very hard, the river water passes around the pillar from both sides, so it is called 'the mainstay'.

This is arguably one of the most precipitous places in the world.

Since the advent of the Yellow River, nearly half of the boats that dared to take this road capsized, and I don't know how many people died here, and I don't know how many boats crashed into the pillars, and the boats were destroyed and capsized in the river.

Because too many boats ran aground and sank, a large amount of grain fell here, so this mainstay is also called Mt. Rice Cang.

Therefore, it is very difficult to transport grain to Guanzhong.

Wang Xuanjing wrote to the emperor to lead hundreds of officials of the imperial court to Luoyang to eat, just to reduce the food pressure in Guanzhong.

Of course, there is another meaning in this, Wang Xuanjing did not say it, only Li Shimin and Wang Xuanjing knew it.

Li Shimin and Wang Xuanjing have left Guanzhong, so naturally they want to make a stage for those people, so that those insects can perform their ghost tricks.

Otherwise, Li Shimin and Wang Xuanjing would be here, and these people would not dare to be presumptuous at all.

Li Shimin knew Wang Xuanjing's plan, but he still had a lot of feelings for the Guanlong nobles who supported Li Tang at the earliest.

So he deliberately issued an edict saying that the imperial court had transported a large amount of grain, which was enough to supply the people of Guanzhong, so that the nobles and heroes from all over the country should not hoard goods and live in strange places, and cooperate with the imperial court to stabilize grain prices.

Don't take advantage of the disaster year to exploit the people, let alone take the opportunity to do things that damage the imperial court, the land system, and the money law.

This holy decree has clearly told those people that the imperial court knows what you want to do and has persuaded you, but those nobles, heroes, and family lords do not think that this is the emperor's persuasion, but feel that the emperor is begging them

Even the decree that the imperial court had brought in enough food was considered by them to be bluffing. Therefore, Li Shimin's holy decree did not let those people give up. For these, Wang Xuanjing can only say good words, and it is difficult to persuade damn ghosts.
