Chapter 361: The Great Plan
Since he drank the tea here, in the palace, he would rather drink boiled water than drink those tea soups, it was simply too unpleasant.
"By the way, can you bring me some too, I want it too. I give gifts too! Eldest Sun Wuji asked.
"No, there are only so many every year, okay, okay, let's go back first, solve things first, and send other good things." Qin Shou waved his hand and said.
He can only fry those tea leaves and drink them himself, how rare it is!
And this is also a big plan for him to make money in the future!
Fang Yiai was a little puzzled, don't they drink these teas here every day?
That day, he saw that there were quite a few in the storeroom at home.
Why is this master so picky? Even Master Li dared to refuse?
Then, Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji were sent away by Qin Shou.
Another seven days have passed, and the heavy rain is still pouring, day and night, and with the previous eight days, it has been raining for thirteen days.
And it shows no signs of stopping
There was already panic in Chang'an City.
Tai Chi Palace, Early Dynasty!
Li Shimin was dressed in a dragon robe and sat high on the throne.
The officials in Beijing who are above the fifth grade in Chang'an City, except for those who go on errands or take leave, have all arrived here.
Because of the heavy rain for many days, the price of food in the city was already the same as Qin Shou had told them that day.
There are signs that it is starting to rise wildly.
You can buy a stone of rice for 100 wen in the morning, 180 wen at noon, and 240 wen in the afternoon.
Such situations abound, and prices are constantly rising.
In five days, the price of grain has now reached the result of 540 wen and one stone, and this is still under the intervention of the government, otherwise the price of grain will rise even more.
However, the government intervened, which was obviously only temporary, and if we wanted to really restore the previous price, we still had to solve it fundamentally.
But now, if you want to solve the fundamental problem, there is only one way, and that is you, Li Shimin, go and borrow food from the five surnamed and seven sects!
That's the only way!
Otherwise, everyone will be waiting for the end!
Li Shimin looked at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty with a deep smile.
The king humiliates the ministers to death!
You eat the food I give, but at the critical moment, you have to make me bow to others.
What you think you can't solve, you really can't do it?
But this time!
Li Shimin is starting to make big moves!
I have to pretend to be in front of everyone 13 times, and I want everyone to praise him.
Li Shimin looked at the ministers in the hall and asked, "Everyone, do you have any thoughts about the crisis of food shortage in Chang'an City this time?" ”
Wei Zheng took the lead and walked out and said: "Your Majesty, the torrential rain has been falling for more than ten days in a row, day and night, and it is estimated that it will continue to rain for a while. If you want to store grain, not to mention that the treasury is not rich now, even if you have money, it is estimated that it is impossible to buy grain in large quantities. ”
"Even if we can get food for a few days, what will we do after that?"
Wei Zheng is now tactful, which means that if you want food, you have to borrow food from others, and you want things in other people's hands to help you tide over difficulties, don't you need to put down the shelf, say a few good words, and coax people?
And now apart from this five surnames and seven sects to lend you food, do you have any other way?
Hearing Wei Zheng say this, those ministers all pretended to think about it one by one, and they all began to say the same thing as Wei Zheng.
Because those five surnames and seven sects have also released their words a long time ago, saying that unless Li Shimin personally comes out to borrow food, the matter will be interviewed.
What the families want is nothing more than His Majesty's bow, and His Majesty will give them face.
Your Majesty refuses to give anything, just wants other people's food, can people win the war?
And the eldest grandson Wuji stood on the side and was silent.
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, who had already colluded with the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Shimin, also saw that the time had come, and Fang Xuanling opened his mouth and asked, "Uncle Guo, don't you usually like to talk the most?" Aren't you called the old fox? The old man is planning the country, the old man is scheming, how can he be a dumb person today?"
"Yes, this is not your style, you might as well listen to Uncle Guo's high opinion." Du Ruhui also said.
The eldest grandson Wuji touched his beard, took a deep breath, and said, "Back to Your Majesty, this crisis has been resolved!" ”
"What?"
"Impossible, right?"
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were the first to take the lead and exclaimed in disbelief.
And the ministers who were echoing Wei Zheng just now, when they heard this unusual voice, they all looked in the direction of Eldest Sun Wuji.
"Auxiliary, you understand, what do you mean? Can this crisis be resolved? ”
"Yes, auxiliary, don't be confused, we're talking about the food in Chang'an City now." Du Ruhui said.
The eldest grandson Wuji smiled and said, "Of course, what else can there be besides this?" ”
Wei Zheng opened his mouth and said, "Eldest Sun Wuji, are you sure what you said? ”
The eldest grandson Wuji said confidently: "Of course you are sure, the old man has talked nonsense for dozens of years? As long as this method is used, it is only easy to solve this crisis, and it is a trivial matter! Unworthy! ”
As he spoke, he looked at these other ministers and sighed: "You, when you encounter such a thing, you have to let the dignity of Your Majesty and the dignity of the royal family be pressed to the ground, is this your duty as a courtier?" If you can't share your worries for the king, are you all worthy of Your Majesty? ”
"The king humiliates the ministers and dies! What kind of steamed bun ideas are you thinking, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and the destiny of Heaven returns, how can you bow your head to those families! The old man is ashamed to be a minister in the same palace with you! ”
Manchu Dynasty civil and military: The eldest grandson Wuji really doesn't want to criticize face! Didn't you say this first?
If it really doesn't work, let Your Majesty be able to stretch out and borrow food from the family.
Putting the people first, what else do you say, if Your Majesty is for the people, he will definitely be willing.
Why is it now yours?
It became us to humiliate Your Majesty!
Is there anything else that says?
But no one dared to directly open the true face of the eldest grandson Wuji, and settle old accounts with the eldest grandson Wuji! Can't afford to mess with it! He is the uncle of the country! Relatives of the Imperial Family! There's backstage!
And now it's most important to solve the problem!
Wei Zheng was the first to stand the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, and asked, "Lord eldest grandson, I don't know what the solution you are talking about?" How can it be solved, now this is in front of His Majesty, in the Taiji Palace, talking about a national event related to the voice of the people, not a child's joke! ”
Now there is only one way to borrow food from the five surnames and seven sects to tide over the difficulties!
He didn't believe that Changsun Wuji could come up with any way to avoid His Majesty and the five surnames and seven sects bowing their heads.
The five surnamed Qizong side released their words early in the morning, unless His Majesty Li Er personally came to the door to beg them.
