People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 81 Food in the Wasteland
Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin came together. Although they were very grateful that they could come up with a portion of food, it was not enough for the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Liangzhou to eat a meal.

The food is prepared for emergencies. It is conservatively estimated that the food in Liangzhou City can be eaten for three days.

The three-day battle couldn't be dragged on for too long. Once Li Daliang couldn't hold on, Yuchigong could be regarded as a buffer.

The eunuch hurried to report: "Your Majesty, Fang Xiang is willing to provide ten stones of food."

"Your Majesty, Duke Wei Li Jing is willing to give ten stones."

"Your Majesty, Du Zhongshu is willing to give ten stones."

……

Listening to the report, it is enough to make up more than 200 shi here and there.

But it didn't last long. Li Shimin planned in his heart. It was really moving that these old ministers who had followed him all the way were able to stand up at this moment.

Li Er knew in his heart that if he received these grains, he would owe more favors.

These people are all old subordinates who came out with them when the world was in chaos.

Sovereign affairs and brotherhood are two different things.

"I understand your intentions, I will think of a solution myself." Li Shimin said with a long sigh, even if there are two hundred stones, it can only solve the urgent need.

Still need more food, at least five hundred to one thousand stone.

If the [-] soldiers and horses of Captain Chi Gong were added, and when the army arrived in Liangzhou, the number of soldiers and horses in Liangzhou might be as many as [-].

This way the burden will be even greater.

Li Shimin beat the table and said, "If this battle can be won, I will definitely take the entire Tuyuhun!"

As long as you give Chaotang another month, after a month the food will be harvested, you can do whatever you want.

It was precisely this month that Tuyuhun calculated it very accurately.

This is the most difficult month for North Korea.

Let's look at Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong again, their own lives are not easy, and the children inside and outside the palace are not to mention.

These brothers who were born and died together in those days also had to go hungry with themselves.

Li Shimin propped up his forehead and felt a sense of powerlessness welling up in his heart.

Unless you have to, you can't ask for this kind of favor from your servants.

Li Shimin said feebly, "You all step back, and call Fang Xuanling here."

Outside the gate of Zhongshu Province, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui stood together, worrying about the war in Liangzhou, discussing how to do this time.

Food and grass is a pressing need right now.

Wei Zheng said, "Even if the old man eats one less meal a day, I don't want His Majesty to make concessions to the noble family in exchange for a little food."

Du Ruhui sighed, "They are just waiting for His Majesty to make concessions, how kind do you think the family is."

Fang Xuanling said worriedly: "Once you take this step back, you may retreat again and again in the future."

However, Fang Xuanling remembered what Li Zheng once said, can the five surname family really be able to flourish for so long?

The eunuch in the palace came to Zhongshu Province and said to Fang Xuanling, "Fang Prime Minister, Your Majesty has summoned him."

Fang Xuanling stood up and said, "Don't worry, I will try my best to persuade Your Majesty."

After leaving Zhongshu Province, Fang Xuanling followed this eunuch all the way to Ganlu Hall.

Facing Li Shimin with a sad face, Fang Xuanling said, "Your Majesty."

Li Shimin seemed to have just regained his senses and sat upright, motioning the maid to give Fang Xuanling a stool to sit on.

Fang Xuanling sat down and asked, "Has Your Majesty made a decision on food matters?"

Li Shimin thought for a while and said, "What should Fang Xiang do?"

Fang Xuanling bowed and said, "I think that Your Majesty cannot step back from the noble family."

The hall of Ganlu was very quiet, and Li Shimin could hear his own breathing.

I thought to myself, yes, I shouldn't step back towards the five surnames.

The five surnames just waited for a while and bowed my head to them.

Waiting to take advantage of this moment.

In order to get these urgently needed food, the other party will definitely speak loudly.

Fang Xuanling said again: "Your Majesty still remember what Li Zheng said to us."

Li Shimin recalled the scenes when he concealed his identity and talked to Li Zheng.

Fang Xuanling said in a low voice, "At first Li Zheng said there would be a flood, but it really happened. Li Zheng said that Tuyuhun had hidden evil intentions. Now Tuyuhun has also begun to attack Liangzhou. At the beginning, Li Zheng refused the five surnames because he was afraid of death..."

Li Shimin's face darkened, "What do you mean?"

Fang Xuanling nodded and said: "At first, I thought about Li Zheng not accepting Wu Xing's solicitation for a long time, but I didn't understand why Li Zheng could refuse Wu Xing, if Li Zheng really can count it, he can count the heavy rain in the sky. ."

"It can be counted that Tuyuhun Bao is hiding evil intentions, and he can also count the affairs of the two khans of the Turks."

"His Majesty asked Li Zheng, what if the five surnames invited him? Do you remember what Li Zheng said?"

Li Shimin's gloomy face seemed to understand Fang Xuanling's meaning, and the ability to predict the prophet has always been mysterious.

Even a character like Yuan Tiangang may not be sure.

Li Zheng could have predicted it three times in a row, and the last time Li Zheng was invited by the five surnames might also have predicted it.

Li Shimin said to the eunuch beside him, "Call Yuan Tiangang to me."

After more than half an hour, Yuan Tiangang came to the Ganlu Palace. He saluted and said, "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

Li Shimin said with a gloomy face: "I want to know the fate of the five surnames?"

Hearing this, Yuan Tiangang closed his eyes and was quiet for a long time.

Li Shimin asked again, "Can you figure it out?"

After being quiet for a while, Yuan Tiangang said: "Your Majesty, the five surnames will not be shaken for a hundred years."

"Is Yuan Daochang accurate?"

The last heavy rain almost caused a catastrophe, Yuan Tiangang didn't count it.

"Your Majesty, the poor can only spy on the secrets of heaven."

Li Shimin put away his mind, the five surnames could not be shaken for a hundred years, and said with a sad expression: "You should step back."

"Pindao retire."

After Yuan Tiangang left, Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling, "Did you say Li Zheng really grew food in the wasteland?"

Fang Xuanling said: "There are rumors that it is indeed planted, but some people say that what Li Zheng planted is not food at all."

Li Lizhi came to the Ganlu Hall with a food box, took a look at the situation inside, and saw that Fang Xuanling was not good at discussing matters with the father here, and now go in.

Li Shimin noticed Li Lizhi who was standing outside the hall and said, "Come in."

Only then did Li Lizhi walk into the Nectar Hall with a food box and said, "Father, the royal brother brought some food."

Li Shimin clutched his forehead in pain, I am here to worry about the affairs of the state, and this bastard Qingque knows how to eat.

Seeing Li Lizhi put the food box in front of her, she became more puzzled after opening it, "What is this."

Li Lizhi picked up a popcorn and put it in her mouth and said, "This is called popcorn."

"Popcorn……"

Li Shimin suspiciously picked up a fingernail-sized popcorn.

Li Lizhi explained: "The person who brought it said that this is the grain that Li Zheng was growing in the wasteland."
