Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 91: Hanfeng Temple Discussion (2)

After Li Shimin glanced at the crowd, he said, "The imperial court tried to save some money and food from various places, and tried to buy some food and grass from the south. Wouldn't this help 50 people survive the famine?"

Hearing this, Fang Xuanling asked, "But Your Majesty, there are still 50 million people left. What should they do? Where can they find supplements for their food?"

"Li Chunfeng of the Qin Tianjian told me that the drought dragon will only rage in Guanzhong for a hundred days, and it will rain when it arrives at Chufu."

Fang Xuanling: "If this is the case, I think we can try to block Tongguan."

Li Shimin nodded, turned around and asked the eldest Sun Wuji who had been silent all this time: "Auxiliary machine, you have been silent all this time, tell me, isn't it right for me to do this?"

Changsun Wuji: "Your Majesty, the victims have been fleeing famine for a long time. From the Han Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty, there was no real governance. What is the root of this problem?

The reason is that the imperial courts of all dynasties have never really helped the victims through the famine.Let these people complain that the sky should not respond, and the earth should not work, so they can only ask for a way to survive.It can be seen how terrible the famine is in their hearts. "

"Once there is a natural disaster, they will scramble to be the first to leave their homes and work in exile, so more than 2 people have left Guanzhong in just two months.

Although this natural disaster is a great disaster for a century, if His Majesty's decision can be realized, it will be of great benefit to Datang, and it will sweep away the old custom of fleeing famine for hundreds of years.

If the imperial court can continue to lead the people through the difficulties like last year, the people will not be afraid of any natural or man-made disasters in the future.

Because they know that His Majesty will not abandon them, and the court will not abandon them.They will also be able to settle down to resist disasters and survive.If this is the case, the people of the world can truly live and work in peace and contentment.If my Tang Dynasty is ten thousand years old, it can last ten thousand years forever. "

Changsun Wuji seemed to be known for his quick wit, and he could guess some of Cen Wenwen's little Jiujiu.

Li Chengqian's limelight cannot be overshadowed by the emperor, and the emperor must be encouraged to build up confidence in fighting disasters.Otherwise, not only Guanzhong disaster relief is a problem, but Li Chengqian's reserve position is also unstable.

After Changsun Wuji finished speaking, Li Shimin patted his thigh excitedly.

That emperor didn't want his country to last forever, and it would cost some money to fight the disaster, but that would bring back thousands of hearts, so what was nothing compared to the immediate loss.

So excitedly said: "The auxiliary machine is right, I used to rely on a spirit of not admitting defeat when I fought in wars, and now I have to rely on this tone in the face of such a disaster.

From now on, drought relief in Guanzhong should be the top priority of the imperial court, and all policies must be oriented towards this.

All officials must work together, just like Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande were defeated back then.I still don't believe it, digging a few wells and repairing a few miles of ditches can be more difficult than destroying hundreds of thousands of enemies and capturing hundreds of cities. "

Li Shimin waved his hand and everyone naturally obeyed.After the meeting was over, all the ministers kept their duties and actively participated in various disaster relief work.

Outside the Hanfeng Palace, "Your Highness, the wind is unexpected, and the rain is not coming." Du Ruhui glanced at Li Chengqian and said.

Li Chengqian smiled, and he didn't say a word just now.It's not that Du Ruhui doesn't want to say it, but that if he speaks up, it will inevitably leave people with a reason to say that he is flattering the monarch for the sake of his son.

"Du Xiang is relieved, as long as he is dedicated to serving the country, he will naturally be flattered or humiliated, right?"

After Li Chengqian and others left, only Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji were left in the Hanfeng Palace.

"Auxiliary machines, it seems that the central government only needs to use capable officials, and provincial borrowing and tailoring are not enough. Officials in these states and counties really don't take people's life and death seriously. If the scientific research has not started yet, the imperial court does not have such available talents. I must deal with these mediocre officials severely."

As the emperor was speaking, Changsun Wuji poured him a cup of tea beside him.

After presenting it to the emperor, he said: "Last year when the crown prince was in charge of the country, many people impeached him for not abiding by etiquette and punished the doctor. But look at it now, your majesty, can these state officials and county officials not deal with them?"

Well, Li Shimin nodded and said: "Although Chengqian's approach is a bit impatient, it is not really a good way to deal with these superficial state officials and county officials. Those people are like sheep in the pen. If you don't smoke them , I don’t know how to take a step forward.”

Changsun Wuji: "What your majesty said is true, but the rations for these 10 people still have to be found. I know that your majesty said that in order to stabilize the court situation. God's will has been difficult to ask since ancient times. When will this day be dry?" I can't say for sure."

Li Shimin: "Yes, I know this too, but right now the treasury is empty, so much food is indeed a problem.

Doesn't Chengqian still have a granary in Weinan? I'll ask him how much there is.This famine must be suppressed, otherwise the Northern Expedition will be indefinitely. "

Li Shimin himself didn't realize that, unconsciously, Li Chengqian has now become his indispensable arm in governing the country.

Just when the emperor was feeling emotional, Changsun Wuji couldn't help saying: "Your Majesty, the prince was impeached last year in order to get more food to feed the people. If this year."

Before Changsun Wuji finished speaking, Li Shimin interrupted him.

"In public, the prince is loyal to the country, and in private, he is filial to his father. If I don't even understand this truth, then what kind of emperor will I be?"

Changsun Wuji's words reminded Li Shimin of what happened in Luoyang last year. Li Chengqian may not be as well-behaved as Li Tai and Li Ke.But his childlike heart was incomparable between the two of them anyway.

Just when he played it right just now, Cen Wenwen always intentionally or unintentionally denied Li Chengqian's achievements in disaster relief last year, and Changsun Wuji didn't believe the emperor couldn't tell.

But when Li Shimin talked about the imperial examination, he understood that the situation of the current state officials and county officials is the same as that of the central and provincial officials.

Li Shimin is also wary of rats. If they are dealt with now, so many positions will be vacated at once, which will inevitably cause chaos in the local administration.

"I know your majesty's painstaking efforts, this is the same situation as when your majesty wanted to promote the crown prince in the ninth year of Wude.

But please rest assured, Your Majesty, after the opening of the department, the imperial court will definitely be able to select a lot of talents from among them. "

Li Shimin sighed and said: "I hope so, years of wars have made life difficult for the people in the Central Plains, and they can't even eat enough, so there is still money left to study.

I have high hopes for this opening of the examination, and I hope that those who have escaped from the war can pass this imperial examination and become officials at all levels to assist me in governing the country well. "
