Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1614 Opportunity
It snowed heavily all night, but stopped the next morning.

When the snow stopped, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

After Qin Tian got up, he only ate a little breakfast, and hurried out of the house.

There was thick snow on the streets of Chang'an City, and he rode a fast horse and came to Hubu against the cold wind.

Tang Jian, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, has also been very busy in recent days, and his whole body has become much haggard.

It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. Qin Tian asked him for money and food, and he wanted to give it, but the Ministry of Households didn't have it. Even if he killed him, he couldn't get it out.

Seeing Qin Tian coming, Tang Jian, who came earlier than Qin Tian, ​​looked a little ugly.

However, it's just ugly. If you want to say it's scary, it's really not there.

"Master Tang, I wonder how the food collection is going?"

As soon as he saw Tang Jian, Qin Tian asked directly about the food. Tang Jian smiled wryly and said: "The imperial court has no extra food, and the money is not enough, so the food you want is not available, but if you have money, I will We can buy some food, but unfortunately we don’t have any.”

When talking, Tang Jian couldn't help shrugging his shoulders, expressing that he was also helpless.

Qin Tian's eyes moved slightly, and Tang Jian said: "Master Qin, your family is in business, why don't you borrow some money from the household department, wait until you buy those grains, and solve this problem. After the spring, the household department will return your money. , or, go to Datang Bank to borrow it, what do you think?"

In this world, if you have money, you can do everything easily, but if you don't have money, you don't need to talk about it.

Qin Tian's family is rich, but his family also has a lot of business, which requires a lot of working capital. Moreover, he needs to deploy in various places in the Tang Dynasty, so he needs a lot of money.

There are very few that can really be used.

Moreover, he had already given out a lot of food and money before, but now, he doesn't want to cut any more meat, it hurts.

As for borrowing money from the bank, it is not impossible, but the bank borrows money, but it has to be repaid, and it has to be repaid with interest.

And interest is not a small amount.

What's more, Qin Tian didn't want to set such a precedent, and the court went to the bank to borrow money if it had no money, which would give the court an illusion, and it would not be good for the court's reputation.

If it is not a last resort, this kind of thing should never be done.

Just imagine, the imperial court borrowed money from the bank, and the news was known by the people. The people should not panic. Wouldn’t the victims be even more panicked?
Qin Tian briefly explained the situation to Tang Jian. Although he didn't say it couldn't be done, he already made it clear that it couldn't be done. Tang Jian curled his lips, but he didn't insist any more. He just asked, "Then what?" To solve the problem of food, all the food we have now can't last for a few days."

"Don't worry, there will be a solution soon. After the officials from the states and counties near Chang'an City arrive, Mr. Tang will know. This matter will need Mr. Tang's support at that time."

As soon as Tang Jian heard this, he knew that things were not so open and aboveboard, and he secretly murmured in his heart, but in this situation, he also knew that open and aboveboard methods would not work, so he could only take risks.

"The Holy One sent someone to send a message, saying that everything is under the arrangement of Master Qin, so I will do whatever you ask me to do."

Qin Tian did not expect this, apparently Li Shimin also found the matter difficult, so he delegated power to him.

"Okay, with His Majesty's words, it will be much more convenient to do many things. Let's wait for the arrival of those people."

Tang Jian nodded, but he was still a little curious, and asked, "Master Qin, what is your solution?"

"Master Tang, don't worry, you will know soon."

Tang Jian rolled his eyes, but didn't ask any more questions.
-
It was almost noon, and the city of Chang'an was surprisingly sunny.

The sun is overhead, but it is not sinister.

However, after several days of heavy snow, the sun appeared, indicating that the sky was fine.

And when the weather cleared, it would be much easier to rescue the snow disaster. Otherwise, the snow would keep falling, and they would have to rescue them all the time. In this way, they really couldn't bear the pressure.

And just as the sun came out, officials from the prefectures and counties near Chang'an City hurried into Chang'an City. They were a little flustered and nervous, not knowing what was waiting for them.

Originally, they were glad that the refugees under their jurisdiction had left, which reduced their burden a lot. They never thought that these refugees would go to Chang'an City, but they would anger Qin Tian.

Qin Tian is a demon king who kills without blinking an eye, maybe he can really kill them in a fit of anger.

A group of people had already chatted with each other on the way.

But none of them knew what kind of situation they would face next, so besides worrying, they were still worried. As for trying to avoid disaster, none of them could do anything until they met Qin Tian.

After these people entered Chang'an City, they went to the Ministry of Households, because Qin Tian was waiting for them there.

When they arrived at Hubu, their hearts were pounding, and there was already someone waiting for them here.

"My lords are a bit late. Lord Qin has been waiting for you for a long time. Let's go."

The household official didn't give these officials from other places a good face, and his words were very cold. After hearing these officials from other places, they trembled again. If it wasn't for the snow, they must have come earlier, but they didn't say that. Dare to explain.

A group of people followed the household official to the hall, where Qin Tian and Tang Jian were already waiting for them.

"Greetings to Master Qin and Master Tang."

Qin Tian looked at them coldly, and said: "You are really good at it. As local parents and officials, you can't even solve the disasters of the local people, and even sent them all to Chang'an City. If there is something wrong in each place, Just blast people to Chang'an City, what's the use of you, I see, you take off your official uniforms, what should you do, how about it?"

Although he is not from the Ministry of Officials, Qin Tian's words are deterrent to a certain extent. If Qin Tian really wants to dismiss them, it is not impossible. All the officials looked at each other tremblingly.

"Please forgive me, Lord Qin. We don't know what these people heard about it, and suddenly left and rushed to Chang'an City. We are in the local area, so we did our best to rescue the disaster."

"Yes, Lord Qin, we were wronged. We didn't drive these people out. They came by themselves. They have freedom, and we can't stop them."

"Master Qin, we are willing to make up for our mistakes, and please give us a chance."

"That's right, that's right, we are willing to make up for our mistakes, Lord Qin please forgive us, and give us a chance..."
