Chapter 357: Prevention is better than prevention

"Your Majesty, what the hell is going on, could it be that Jinyang really turned over the earth dragon?"

Fang Xuanling looked at Li Shimin like this, and thought of what His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor had said before, as well as the official letter they gave to Yan Lide, to take precautions in advance.

"What, the Jinyang Earth Dragon turned over?"

"No, heavy rain in Chang'an, the dragon on the spot in Jinyang turned over? Such a coincidence? Could it really be a ...... heaven."

"It should be, otherwise how could this matter be such a coincidence?"

"It seems that these things really can only be saved by His Majesty's edict."

"Minister, Wei Zheng, please Your Majesty, for the sake of the common people in the world, for the sake of the society of the country, please Your Majesty to issue an edict for sin, comfort the heavens, and introspect yourself!"

"Your Majesty, please think of the common people in the world, think of the society of the country, please give your Majesty an edict of sin, comfort the heavens, and reflect on yourself!"

After Wei Zheng, the Yushitai***, took the lead in speaking, the officials of the entire Yushitai also knelt down and spoke.

Li Shimin gritted his teeth angrily, looking at these imperial officials, these people who had nothing to do every day knew the trouble that came to him: "I haven't done anything, what kind of crime do I make?" Do you all think I'm a bully? ”

"Since ancient times, all the years of catastrophe have been condemned by God, please Your Majesty issue an edict for your own sin, ask God for forgiveness, and return the peace of the people of the Tang Dynasty. Please Your Majesty think about the people of the world for a while, and make an edict against yourself! ”

Saying that, Wei Zheng knelt down in front of Li Shimin this time and kowtowed to Li Shimin

"Please Your Majesty think about the common people in the world for a while, and make an edict against yourself."

Seeing Wei Zheng kneeling, those other imperial historians also knelt down

"Wei Zheng, you deceive people too much! You bully! I'm not guilty! Li Shimin roared angrily.

But Li Shimin's roar did not scare Wei Zheng, the first troll of the Tang Dynasty, but gave Wei Zheng and a group of imperial historians the confidence to go, in their opinion, His Majesty now has no second way except to make an edict.

"Bastard! I did nothing wrong! I will not issue this edict! ”

Li Shimin raised his arrogant head and said.

"If Your Majesty doesn't make an edict of sin, I can't afford to kneel here for a long time until Your Majesty makes an edict!" Wei Zheng said more ironically than Li Shimin.

"Kneel if you want, I will not stop you! Retreat! The eldest grandson Wuji, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling Baifu Hall to meet! ”

Li Shimin snorted coldly, then waved his hand and left.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

These courtiers from the Qin Palace, as well as officials who were not from the Imperial Historical Observatory, bowed down to Li Shimin and said respectfully

In the Baifu Palace, the eldest grandson Wuji, Du Ruhui, and Fang Xuanling came here.

looked at the heavy rain outside the window with Li Shimin, and they all coveted each other one by one.

"Could it be that His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor has really confirmed his speculation about these two things?"

Fang Xuanling, who was determined by Fang Mou, looked at the heavy rain outside the window, and couldn't help but sigh.

"It can't be a coincidence, right?" The eldest grandson Wuji said.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, you also know that as long as you are not a fool, you must not be able to make a big deal for things that are not very sure.

But looking at his eldest nephew, he really bets all his family money on the matter of making money from grain, it can't be that he just wants to try his luck by chance, he is definitely very sure.

Besides, his nephew didn't look like a fool.

At that time, they thought that this big nephew was crazy for money!

But now it seems that they are clowns in the end!

Fang Xuanling also remembered Qin Shou's inevitable appearance, and couldn't help but laugh, His Majesty still made a bet with others, and he gambled so much, he was sold by others and helped others count the money, it was really a shame to throw it home.

Your Majesty, who is a father, what father's majesty will there be in front of his son in the future?

"Say, what now? How much grain is left? How much money can I buy food? If it really happens in the next few months, what will happen to the people? ”

Li Shimin threw out several questions in a row, and this is a crisis that must be faced.

"Back to Your Majesty, the grain storage can still support about fifteen or sixteen days, the ministers are incompetent, the Ministry of Civil Affairs has no grain, and there is no money to store grain, please Your Majesty to surrender." The eldest grandson Wuji said, he and Fang Xuanling can't help it, let alone the people, the little grain in their home is still in His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor

Well, I'm going to have to talk to him.

At that time, it was still just in case, thinking that I couldn't afford to gamble on the family's rations.

Now it seems that I made the right bet this time.

At that time, they just felt that the family would have to buy food sooner or later, so it was better to let Qin Shou help them buy a little together, and they wouldn't lose money by buying some food anyway.

No one expected that His Royal Highness the Great Prince would say that it was raining, and it was really raining, seven or eight days, and it didn't stop, as if it couldn't be finished.

"What do you think? What happens after half a month? Will the rain stop? Li Shimin asked.

This question, he asked Yuan Tiangang yesterday, and Yuan Tiangang just said that the celestial phenomena were unpredictable this time, and he pleaded guilty there.

If the heavy rain does not stop half a month later, the imperial court will be completely in a situation of no food, and the people will not be able to eat at that time, and the foundation of the Tang Dynasty will really be passive, as Wei Zheng said.

The fate of the Tang Dynasty is almost the same as that of the Ji Dynasty, if Chang'an City is chaotic and the people are reversed, they can also close their doors to Li Tang Jiangshan.

He, Li Tang, must not repeat the fate of the responsible dynasty.

"I don't know! Your Majesty forgives your sins! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji, Du Ruhui, and Fang Xuanling all bowed down and said.

"Forget it, I'm going to find my son! He could guess that it was raining, and maybe he would know something. ”

Li Shimin rolled up such a sentence.

Let Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui be responsible for taking care of the house at home, and the eldest grandson Wuji will accompany him.

Because Li Yan, who had already stocked up a large amount of grain, looked at the continuous heavy rain every day that day, he was still sitting firmly on Mount Tai, which was in Xiaoyao Villa, and he had already stocked up on grain, without a little worry, only ready to make a fortune and make money.

And Fang Fengzhu and Du Xiyue, the two women, looked at the heavy rain every day, sighed every day, had no motivation to do things at all, and the whole person was not in a good mood.

Yesterday when I went home, I heard from the father of the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty that there was not much food in the granary, and it would not last for a few days, if the heavy rain kept falling, it would not stop, and the grain outside the city could not be transported to Chang'an City, Guanzhong, I was afraid that I would starve all over the field again.

When he returned to this Wannian County, Qin Shou's warehouse was full of grain, and the entire warehouse of Lijiazhuang was full of grain, which was simply piled up.

They suspected that most of the grain in Chang'an was in the hands of Qin Shou and the five surnamed families.

For this reason, Du Xiyue and Fang Fengzhu also asked Li Chen, what if Chang'an was really short of food, there was a famine, and starvation was everywhere, but Qin Shou swore that it was impossible and told them not to be delusional.

But they were angry, and they secretly scolded Qin Shou behind their backs for being a female businessman, and they kept saying that they were going to report to the court that he was going to report to the court that he was going to store grain in the disaster year, and he wanted to make a fortune in the country.
