Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

Chapter 123 Surprised, Lost Mind

Originally, Shu'an was the focus of Chang'an's attention, especially this incident pushed Shu'an to the cusp of the storm.

If it was the first day, they would have watched Duke Anxuan help the refugees with novel eyes, but when tens of thousands of refugees appeared today, some scholars could not help but take a deep breath.

"Even if it's just half a bowl of porridge a day, these tens of thousands of people need at least dozens of stones of food."

"If I remember correctly, the price of rice in Chang'an has already risen to fifteen cents a bucket."

"It costs a few bucks a day, and there seemed to be not as many people yesterday as there are today."

There was a lot of discussion, even if they didn't know it, they felt that there seemed to be more refugees in Chang'an.

In addition, it seems that An Xuangong does not know when the relief will last, so a lot of money must have been spent in it.

Even if it were them, it would definitely not be the case. After all, this money has no benefits at all, as for reputation.

For these scholars, it is not important, they value their interests more, and the reputation brought by these refugees does not help them much among scholars.

In addition to the sighs of these scholars, there is also Li Junxian who has received the report from Baiqi again. This time Li Junxian is not calm.

"How come there are so many more people in just a few days?"

Li Junxian murmured solemnly, knowing that this is tens of thousands of people, not simply hundreds of people.

If he is not careful, it may cause some confusion, especially in Chang'an, even he has some worries.

After thinking of this, Li Junxian also couldn't sit still, he wanted to enter the palace to meet His Majesty, whether it was the number of refugees or the involvement of An Xuangong, these were beyond his control.

Imperial Palace Study Room

"Your Majesty, the number of refugees has exceeded [-]."

Li Junxian said respectfully, with a hint of bitterness on his face, before entering the palace, he did not simply enter the palace.

Instead, they first sent people to find out about the situation of the refugees in the suburbs of Chang'an. If they didn't see it, they didn't know it. They were shocked when they saw it, because there were as many as 2 refugees gathered in the outskirts of Chang'an.

This means that there will be more refugees flooding into Chang'an tomorrow. After all, some people don't know that Duke Anxuan rescued the refugees.

Thinking of the [-] refugees pouring into the entire city of Chang'an, even Li Junxian felt his scalp tingle.

"Why are there so many refugees, is there no chaos?"

Li Shimin's eyes became serious and he said, because Li Junxian reported that there were not many refugees entering Chang'an a few days ago, so he naturally subconsciously thought that there were not many refugees.

Now there are more than [-] refugees at once, even Li Shimin can't help being shocked, because if these refugees riot, it would be unimaginable.

After all, he was already a refugee, and if he could no longer survive, then anything could happen.

"For unknown reasons, the number of refugees has increased dramatically in the past few days."

"In terms of chaos, there hasn't been much chaos. This is mainly related to An Xuangong."

Li Junxian said with a wry smile, although he sent a lot of cavalry to the pass, but no news came back.

As for the chaos, Li Junxian would really like to thank An Xuangong, because of An Xuangong's relief, at least every refugee can survive.

If you dig a little more grass roots, then you can eat half full, and one half full is enough, after all, ordinary people's homes are only half full.

But no one knows when An Xuangong will cancel the relief. After all, as the number of people increases, the amount of food consumed on this day is not small.

At that time, it will be time for His Majesty to worry, and of course he cannot escape.

"What does this have to do with Yafu?"

Li Shimin's expression showed a slight bit of astonishment and he said softly, with doubts in his words, obviously he didn't understand how Yafu and these refugees were related.

Then Li Junxian told everything that happened in Chang'an during this period, from the first day of relief to today.

A flash of enlightenment flashed in Li Shimin's eyes. It turned out that it was because Yafu helped the victims, but then he also hesitated.

What Li Junxian can think of is unreasonable, this emperor can't figure it out. There is no chaos now, but it doesn't mean there will be no chaos in the future.

"Send someone to invite Changsun Wuji and others."

Li Shimin spoke after pondering for a while, with helplessness in his words.

Even for a while, he didn't think about how to resettle these victims, although food has been urgently dispatched from various places.

But I don't know how long it will take to go back and forth, and the situation in various places has not improved much. Only the southern region has allocated grain.

However, this journey is too far, even by water, it is not possible to send food to Chang'an in a short time.

Of course, Li Shimin naturally thought of the grain merchants in Chang'an, and he couldn't help gnashing his teeth in his heart. He felt like he was taking advantage of these people. If it wasn't for these grain merchants, there were many families behind them.

When Li Junxian's figure slowly disappeared into the imperial study, Li Shimin couldn't help thinking of his father-in-law.

At least he owed this Yafu a favor in addition to the matter of helping the victims, although he wanted to reward something.

However, this sub-father seems to have nothing lacking, Li Shimin couldn't help but think of Qingque's words, it seems that this sub-father has a better life than him.

However, before Li Shimin came back to his senses, the sound of hurried footsteps came again, and this person was not Li Junxian who was going to deliver the order.

At this time, Li Junxian left and returned, his face full of worries, even Li Shimin couldn't help but thump in his heart, and had some bad premonitions.

"Your Majesty, on the way out of the palace, I received an urgent message from Baiqi from inside the pass."

Li Junxian's serious voice sounded, with a trace of dignity in his words.

"what news?"

Li Shimin's anxious voice sounded, obviously knowing that something big must have happened.

"The locust plague appeared in the Guannei area."

Li Junxian didn't have any hesitation, and he couldn't help but fell into a daze at this time. Before An Xuangong said that the drought was just the beginning, now it seems to be fulfilled.

After the words fell, Li Shimin's eyes were also stunned, and the image of the white-haired figure writing that word appeared in his mind.

"Did Yafu really hit the mark?"

Li Shimin murmured in a daze, with an indescribable emotion in his words.

Li Junxian on the side looked at His Majesty in a daze and did not bother, because he was also in shock, but what he didn't know was that he and this Majesty were not thinking exactly the same thing.
