Chapter 22 Weighing
Li Lizhi looked at Li Shimin worriedly and asked, "Father, are you feeling unwell? My daughter called you a doctor."

Seeing Li Lizhi's well-behaved, Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "I'm fine."

"The daughter will retire first." Li Lizhi glanced at Li Shimin's expression worriedly.

After Li Lizhi left, Li Shimin punched the table, causing the little eunuch beside him to kneel with a thud.

Your Majesty, what's the matter?
Which one with no eyes to provoke Your Majesty?
A group of palace maids and eunuchs shivered in the face of Li Shimin's anger.

Li Shimin gritted his teeth, but he didn't expect that I was shrewd, and in the end, Li Zheng, a hairy boy, gave him a shot.

Li Shimin was so angry that he waved his sleeves and wrote another decree, if this kid hadn't reminded Chang'an that there would be trouble again.

The will also allocated several hundred acres of land to Li Zheng,

Still a wasteland...

Doesn't this kid like to cultivate wasteland?Let him have a good time.

The decree wrote that he took the initiative to build river embankments and made great achievements in reclamation.

After writing the decree, Li Shimin left Ganlu Hall and went all the way to Lizheng Hall.

On the second day, at the court meeting in the Taiji Palace.

Li Shimin sat on the throne and listened to the reports of officials from various ministries.

This time the heavy rain was handled in a timely manner, and some officials were negligent and lazy, causing the river water to pour into the fields, and there were still some losses.

Even though the decree was made in advance, there were still some officials who were negligent and neglected.

Li Shimin immediately said: "All the counties that are negligent and neglected, those who have jurisdiction over the disaster will be dismissed from the staff and registered as a case, and will never be hired!"

This time, it was true that some people underestimated the heavy rain, and many places ignored it at first. When the river was really pouring out of control, it was too late to rush to repair the embankment.

The losses could have been reduced to a minimum, but there are always such a few who are holding back.

"Your Majesty." Wei Zheng took a step forward and said, "All counties and counties have handled this flood well, and all counties and counties that listened to the will have made full preparations in advance."

It was rare to hear Wei Zheng's pertinent words, Li Shimin nodded slightly.

Wei Zheng went on to say: "But some people in the court still eat vegetarian meals. The Bashang area is the fief of the eldest grandson of Zhao Guogong, and three thousand acres of fertile fields are flooded."

Li Shimin looked at the eldest grandson Wuji beside him.

Zhangsun Wuji stepped forward with a dark face and had to bow and said, "Your Majesty, this minister is to blame."

"Yeah, how could such a thing happen for a long time." Cheng Yaojin muttered.

The muttering is not very loud, but it is a bit harsh in the quiet Tai Chi Palace.

Everyone looked at Cheng Yaojin.

"What are you doing looking at me, old Cheng?" Cheng Yaojin stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, our Cheng family took action immediately upon receiving His Majesty's will. So far, not a single mu of land has been affected."

"Yeah." Li Shimin nodded.

How much food is lost for three thousand mu of fertile land?

Zhao Guogong's fiefdom is the largest and the best location, because Empress Changsun, Li Shimin will be a bit biased about some things in the Changsun family.

The younger sister of Changsun Wuji is the current queen, and she is also a relative of the country, and she can see that the Changsun family is better.

But right now, Changsun Wuji looked at such a good place and didn't do anything, which really made other princes feel uncomfortable.

Three thousand mu of land is not a small amount of food.

"Is it too late to replant now?" Du Ruhui asked.

Cheng Yaojin sighed and said: "Don't mention it, you Lao Du didn't go to Bashui to see, the water is too big to stop it, the three thousand acres of land have all become river ponds, the mud is soaked, and it's almost You can catch fish."

Li Shimin looked at his secretary Lang Cenwen and asked, "Is this really the case in Bashang?"

Cen Wenwen bowed and replied, "You can't grow crops if the water doesn't recede. Even if the water recedes, the mud in the ground will be soaked into silt, and the upstream stone sand will be mixed in the silt."

"You can't plant if the water doesn't go back. Even if the water goes back, you have to re-cultivate the land. All the flood-affected fields can be re-turned. It will take more than a month to re-plant."

Hearing Cen Wenwen's words, Chaotang became quiet.

Planting food again after more than a month will miss the season, and will consume a lot of manpower and material resources.

Cen Wenwen continued: "The field has become a wetland. Even if we rush to replant, it will take a lot of manpower to change the soil and turn the soil. Even if it is planted, the harvest will not be good."

The people take food as their heaven, and the people rely on God for their food for a year.

"The Lord of Heaven is not happy, there is no harvest." Cheng Yaojin sighed again.

Knowing that Cheng Yaojin and Wei Zheng were not dealing with each other, they just quarreled.

But Changsun Wuji is different. Many people in the court see that Cheng Yaojin is uncomfortable for a long time, and the generals standing on Cheng Yaojin's side are also very wary of Changsun Wuji.

Recently, Changsun Wuji has been advising His Majesty to re-manage the military system, which makes many generals beware.

Aware of the gazes around him, Cheng Yaojin was unhappy, "Why do you look at my old Cheng again, my old Cheng's family doesn't have extra food for Zhao Guogong, and my own family doesn't have enough food."

Li Shimin retreated with a dark face and called Zhangsun Wuji over alone.

During the dispersal of the dynasty, a conversation between Li Shimin and Zhangsun Wuji was heard in the palace.

It is said that the eldest grandson Wuji pleaded guilty several times, and Li Shimin fined him five years and three months after thinking about it.

In the Zhenguan Dynasty, the relationship between the monarch and his ministers was very good.

Cheng Yaojin and other generals were discussing that Changsun Wuji was at fault, but this guy pretended to take the initiative to plead guilty.

It was as if he pleaded guilty for the county magistrate under his rule. It was the county magistrate who was incompetent and had nothing to do with his eldest grandson, Wuji.

When the incident happened, his eldest grandson Wuji stood up and gave him an image of taking the initiative to plead guilty.

"This old fox still has high morals." Cheng Yaojin sighed.

Niu Jinda and other generals were speechless for a while.

His eldest grandson Wuji can't fight in war, and he is not as good as Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui in handling political affairs. He is afraid that the whole of Chang'an is not an opponent of Zhangsun Wuji.

But this time, Changsun Wuji could be embarrassed, and Cheng Yaojin felt a lot more happy.

The rain had just stopped, and Cheng Chumo came to Jingyang to find Li Zheng.

Li Zheng was very happy to see the silver coins that Cheng Lumo brought, there were hundreds of them.

"Brother Cheng made an extraordinary move. He has earned so much in just a few days." Li Zheng collected the money swiftly.

Cheng Chumo said regretfully, "It's just that those boys in Chang'an now see me as if they've seen a ghost, and they run away when they see me."

"It's hard work." Li Zheng patted Cheng Chumo's shoulder.

Cheng Chumo sighed and said, "It's really hard work, and I have to chase them and fight."

Maybe in Chang'an, the only one who can force others to buy medicine is Cheng Yaojin's son.

Looking at his physique, he is full of tendons, and his father is also a hero of the founding of the Tang Dynasty. Ordinary people really can't provoke him.

Even if you can afford it, you have to think about whether the devil king of the world will kill you with an axe.
