Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 216
"My lord, it doesn't take a lot of trouble to help these people. If there is a place to live, let them have enough food and not be cold. If there is no place to live, we will find a place for them to live in. When their houses are repaired After that, let them go back separately."

Qin Tian's solution is very simple, it can only treat the symptoms.

If there is another heavy snowfall, it may be necessary to find a way for these people again.

But this is the only thing they can do so far.

There is not enough money, and there is only so much that can be done, and then hope that such a big snowstorm will not happen again this year.

Li Shimin curled his lips after hearing this, but he couldn't think of a better way, so after hesitating, he nodded: "Okay, I will bring this up in the morning court, and try to get some benefits for the people, but don't send too much money." hope."

"It's good that the prince is willing to be the abbot. With the prestige of the prince, many people can still lend a helping hand, but tomorrow morning, if the emperor agrees, the prince might as well..."

Qin Tian muttered to Li Shimin, and Li Shimin nodded in agreement. Afterwards, Qin Tian didn't stay in the Prince Qin's mansion, and left directly to return to the mansion.

When we went back, it was already dark and the wind and snow were getting worse.

The next day, it snowed heavily.

However, the morning court was still held as scheduled.

A group of ministers stood on the main hall shivering with cold, wanting to stamp their feet and rub their hands, but afraid of angering Li Yuan, they could only hold back.

After finally waiting for the court to fall, everyone was secretly happy, but at this moment, Li Shimin suddenly stood up: "Father, my son has a book to play."

Li Yuan shrank his neck and glanced down, and asked, "What is Shimin going to do?"

"Father, the weather in Chang'an this year is cold and heavy snow has hit, causing the houses of many people to collapse, the people suffer from cold and hunger, life is very difficult, and some people even froze to death on the street. My minister thinks that they are The people of the Tang Dynasty, I, the Tang Dynasty, should find a way to ensure that they survive this snow disaster safely, so I ask my father to give an order to help these people."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, Li Yuan didn't think much about it. As the emperor, he actually wanted to look like a wise king who cared for the people.

Li Shimin's proposal is still good, and he intends to agree.

However, before Li Yuan nodded, Zhao Jing, Minister of the Household Department, stood up.

"Your Majesty, it is indeed a good thing to help the people, but now that the household department is tense, I am afraid that there is not much money to provide for the people."

Zhao Jing opened his mouth, Li Yuan frowned slightly, the household department has no money, so if he wants to enjoy it, it is not so casual, if the money is given to the common people, then he will not be able to enjoy it even more.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan felt a little unhappy.

I agreed before, just to make myself look like a wise and benevolent king who loves the people like a son, but if it involves my own interests, then that's another story.

Seeing this, Li Shimin secretly thought that it was not good, so he quickly stood up: "Father, the Ministry of Households does not need to allocate funds, as long as the father nods and approves, once the matter is met, the minister will bear it."

Li Shimin was willing to take on the responsibility, Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and without waiting for others to say more, he nodded immediately: "Okay, Shimin is worthy of being my prince, and he can solve my worries and problems, so I will leave this matter to you."

When Li Yuan opened his mouth, the officials looked at each other, several officials even looked towards Li Jiancheng quickly, this is a good opportunity to win the hearts of the people and the favor of the people, now it is just given to Li Shimin for nothing?

These officials all hope that Li Jiancheng can fight for it.

However, Li Jiancheng stood on the court hall, very calm and calm.

He naturally knows that this matter will be done well, it will be popular among the people, and his father will also like it, but the premise is that it can be done well, and it will take a lot of money to resettle so many people. Then you have to raise money yourself, but is this money easy to get?
This is obviously a thankless task, and Li Jiancheng will not gnaw on this hard bone.

Moreover, he believes that if Li Shimin can't do well, even if he does well, he will offend a lot of dignitaries. If he offends the dignitaries, what's the use of winning the hearts of the people?

Therefore, Li Jiancheng will not fight, he just needs to stand aside and watch the excitement.

And when the officials looked at each other, Li Shimin said: "Since the emperor agreed, I have another request. Although I don't want the money from the Ministry of Households, I still hope that my Tang officials and dignitaries can give a lot of love. Donate your old clothes that you don't wear at home."

Li Shimin asked for old clothes, and the officials didn't have any objections to it. They were things they didn't wear, so they donated them as they were. Li Yuan saw that his own interests were not involved, so he nodded in agreement.

After saying this, retreat.

After retiring from the court, Li Shimin braved the wind and snow to go out. At this time, Changsun Wuji, Cheng Yaojin and others immediately surrounded him.

"My lord, don't want the Ministry of Households to allocate money and food. We have so much money. Even if we understand the lord's painstaking efforts and are willing to give some money out, how much can we get?" Changsun Wuji looked solemn, for Li Shimin's For a great cause, he is naturally willing to invest part of his money.

Anyway, as long as Li Shimin can ascend to the Great Treasure, he will have more opportunities to make money in the future, but if Li Shimin cannot become emperor, his eldest grandson's family will be ruined.

Therefore, in the long run, it is not a problem to ask him to contribute money to help, but the problem is that he can't spend much, and the whole family needs him to support, and it is impossible for him to really spend all his savings. come out.

It is true that he wants to help Li Shimin, but he is not so great.

Others even more so.

Everyone chattered and felt that it was wrong for Li Shimin not to ask the Ministry of Households for help, but if he did not ask the Ministry of Households for help, the matter could not be settled, and everyone was particularly entangled.

The wind and snow were blowing, Li Shimin walked among the crowd, but he didn't feel too cold, he shrank his hands into his sleeves, and said: "Everyone, don't worry, the matter of money is left to Qin Tian, ​​this king Don't worry about it either."

When they heard that it was handed over to Qin Tian, ​​everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then they started talking again.

"My lord is confused, how can such a big matter be handed over to Qin Tian, ​​who can get money?"

"That's right, this is simply a trap, the prince must have been deceived by this kid..."

Everyone was chattering, but Li Shimin waved his hands: "Okay, Qin Tian has already guaranteed a guarantee in front of this king, and this king believes him."

Li Shimin didn't say any more, it's useless to say too much.

Seeing this, everyone could only let out a long sigh.

They don't deny that Qin Tian is very good at making money, but this is not a problem that can be solved by making money. To raise enough money, it is obviously not a problem that can be solved by doing business.

Everyone looked at each other, and after a long time, they could only shake their heads, sighed, and left.
