Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1613 Close the door

Wang Yuan's mansion is very big, in this place where living in Chang'an is not easy, being able to afford such a big mansion shows that the family is well-off.

Qin Tian stood in front of the snow-covered door before he had time to clear it, and ordered someone to knock on the door.

Soon, a servant came out from the inside. After seeing Qin Tian, ​​he was shocked, and then ran out quickly: "Master Qin, why are you here?"

Qin Tian said: "I want to see Lord Wang."

The servant looked embarrassed, and said: "My lord, my lord is not at the house."

"Not in the house, where did he go?"

"Where I went, I don't know."

When the servant said this, his face was obviously very nervous. Seeing him like this, Qin Tian's eyes moved slightly, and he immediately understood what was going on.

Dare to feel that Wang Yuan already knew that he was looking for food everywhere. In order not to donate food, he had to find an excuse to shirk and refused to see himself.

Qin Tian hated Wang Yuan's situation, but he couldn't force his way in and ask people to donate food. In that case, what's the difference between him and a bandit?
After indifferently smiling, Qin Tian turned and left.

The snow on Chang'an City was very thick, Qin Tian went to find several other officials, but they were all turned away, and he didn't even have a chance to go in.

As dusk came, the cold wind howled, and it was surprisingly cold.

Qin Tian searched for a whole day, and there were only one or two families who couldn't save face, opened the door to welcome guests, and donated some money after listening to Qin Tian's narration.

However, according to this situation, the food and grass he got is definitely a drop in the bucket.

Back at the mansion, Qin Tiandong's nose was a little red, Tang Rong already knew what was going on, so after Qin Tian came back, she came with a big belly.

"Sir, there is still food in the house, you just use it."

As a woman, in addition to giving birth to a man, Tang Rong felt that she should also share his man's worries and problems.

Now because of the orphanage, it was the first time she saw her man suffering like this, and she couldn't help but feel pity in her heart.

Originally, she had already made an agreement with Lu Huaniang that no matter what Qin Tian said, not a single grain of the family's food would be released.

Just seeing Qin Tian like this, without Qin Tian speaking, their hearts softened.

However, Qin Tian just shook his head and said: "There are still so many people in the family to support, so just keep the food. Although your husband has encountered a little difficulty, he has not yet reached the point where he can't do anything, and what's more, the effort that should be made We have already left. If I, Qin Tian, ​​were to use up all my family property to do this, I would not be so noble. Moreover, if I only start an orphanage by myself, then this orphanage will not last long. After all, this orphanage is a benefit given to some refugees by the imperial court, not from me, Qin Tian, ​​don't worry, there will be a solution tomorrow."

Hearing Qin Tian's words, Tang Rong finally breathed a sigh of relief. Of course, he was not angry because the food was saved, but because Qin Tian had a solution. She believed in her husband very much. As long as he said There is a way, there must be a way.
-
Royal Palace.

After dusk, the gloomy weather began to snow again.

There were numerous snowflakes, but they were not too big, but it was so cold that people shivered all over.

Li Shimin was sitting in the imperial study, still reviewing the memorial. The palace servants had already told him about the orphanage.

Li Shimin couldn't help sighing when he heard refugees from other states and counties pouring into Chang'an City.

'I'm afraid this matter will be difficult for Qin Tian. '

The palace man smiled wryly, and said: "My lord, that's right. Today, the young man went to find someone to donate food. As a result, except for Lu Guogong and the others who had a good relationship with the young man on weekdays, they gave him some food, and everyone else made excuses to give it to him. She shirked it, and didn't let Qin Tian enter the mansion."

Hearing about this matter, Li Shimin frowned slightly. Some officials of the Tang Dynasty really made him very angry.

Some people are so selfless that they bow their heads and don't want to lose face for the sake of the people of the Tang Dynasty, but some people are still ruthlessly ignoring those people for their own selfish interests.

If it's someone else, it's fine if they have self-interest, but since they are officials of the Tang Dynasty and enjoy the benefits of the salary and power brought by the imperial court, then they have to do things for the people, and they should do things impartially .

With self-interest, he is still an official of that family, and Li Shimin feels angry when he looks at it.

However, although Li Shimin felt a little angry, he did not explode. It is obviously unrealistic for all officials in the world to be impartial and selfless, and to serve the country and the people wholeheartedly. If he insists on letting all officials do this, I am afraid that no one will be willing to be official.

With no one serving as an official, how will his Great Tang court continue to operate?
So when you should be confused, you should be confused.

"Let the people from the household department fully assist Qin Tian to complete this matter, and satisfy any needs of Qin Tian."

Knowing that Qin Tian was in trouble, Li Shimin could only do this.

The palace servants nodded in response, and suddenly remembered something, and said, "My lord, these refugees come from various states and counties near Chang'an City, Young Master Qin is very angry about this, and has already ordered people to let the officials of the nearby states and counties return to Beijing, you see Will this cause trouble?"

An angry Qin Tian can do anything, if he draws his sword in a fit of anger and kills all these people, then Chang'an City will probably be even more chaotic.

However, after thinking about it for a while, Li Shimin shook his head and said, "Don't worry, Qin Tian has his own way of doing things, so don't worry about him."

The palace man responded with a smile, and then retreated.

Li Shimin continued to review the memorials in the imperial study, so busy, he didn't know the time. After he finally finished the review, he finally left the imperial study and prepared to go back to the bedroom to rest.

And as soon as he opened the door of the imperial study, a gust of wind and snow outside rushed directly towards him.

Snowflakes fell from the night sky one after another, and they were very big. Li Shimin looked up and couldn't help but sigh.

"This is a noisy weather."

After swearing secretly, Li Shimin tightened his clothes, and then rushed to the bedroom with peace of mind. It had been snowing for an unknown amount of time, and the palace that had just been cleaned turned white again.

This heavy snow seems to be falling endlessly. Tonight, I don't know if someone will freeze to death.

Li Shimin suddenly froze in the snow, letting the snowflakes fall.

The palace people behind were stunned for a moment, and after a while, they finally dared to say: "Your Majesty, Xueda, hurry back to the house, Your Majesty must take care of the dragon's body."

"Send someone to inform the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and ask them to allocate some money from my treasury tomorrow to deal with emergencies."

"Your Majesty is merciful, the old slave will immediately go and order."
