Man Tanghong

Chapter 44 Auspicious Beast?Photo kill!

"Gudu..."

Luoyang Ling swallowed his saliva forcefully, and asked in a trembling voice, "His... Your Highness, is this appropriate?"

Li Yuanji glared at Luoyang Ling, Luoyang Ling trembled in fright, did not dare to say any more nonsense, and immediately retreated, and went to do things according to Li Yuanji's orders.

Qu Tutong, Li Sixing, and Luo Shixin looked at Li Yuanji with complicated expressions after Luoyang Ling left.

From ancient times to the present, people who resell official titles, no matter their purpose is good or bad, will be labeled as 'faint and incompetent'.

Li Yuanji is not only exchanging his official position for food, but also exchanging his own reputation for food.

Qu Tutong pondered for a while, then bowed to Li Yuanji, "Your Highness, in order to save the people, did not hesitate to bear a bad name, I feel ashamed."

Seeing this, Li Sixing and Luo Shixin also followed suit to salute.

"The same is true for the minister."

No matter what kind of person Li Yuanji was before, at this moment he is definitely a person worthy of their admiration.

Li Yuanji glanced at Qu Tutong, and said angrily: "I still lack this notoriety? You have time to flatter me here, why don't you let your people go to the nearby forest to hunt some rare treasures.

In the future, we can also eat more meat and less grain. "

When Qu Tutong heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't laugh or cry.

"My minister obeys."

Luo Shi believed in his head and said, "It's also considered a minister."

What Li Yuanji did changed Luo Shixin's view of Li Yuanji.

He doesn't mind that under the leadership of Li Yuanji, he can go to collect mountain treasures, save some rations, and relieve refugees.

Li Sixing pondered and said: "Speaking of mountain treasures, I know of a place where ferocious beasts are kept in captivity. If they are all killed and distributed to the soldiers, it can save tens of thousands of grains."

As soon as Li Sixing said this, Qu Tutong and Luo Shixin looked at him strangely.

They all knew the place Li Sixing mentioned.

That is the imperial forest garden of the former Sui Dynasty. There are many ferocious beasts for the enjoyment of the former Sui royal family members, as well as many ferocious beasts for the autumn hunting of the former Sui dignitaries.

But after Luoyang was conquered by Li Tang, the palaces and forest gardens in Luoyang City became the palace and royal forest garden of Li Tang's royal family.

Only members of Li Tang's royal family can go in and hunt the ferocious beasts in Li Tang's royal garden.

Anyone who goes in to hunt and kill ferocious beasts without order, will, or documents will be punished.

After being reminded by Li Sixing, Li Yuanji also thought of the Royal Forest Garden in Luoyang City.

The prohibition in the Royal Forest Garden can restrain others, but not him.

Not to mention the Royal Forest Garden in Luoyang City, even the Royal Forest Garden in Chang'an City, Li Yuanji would enter whenever he wanted, come out whenever he wanted, kill tigers if he wanted to kill tigers, and iron beasts if he wanted to kill iron beasts.

Even if he was killed cleanly, Li Yuan would only say 'nonsense' in a speechless manner.

Li Yuanji glared at Li Sixing, and shouted: "Then what are you waiting for, take someone to kill."

Li Sixing was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Li Yuanji to be so decisive.

Li Sixing hesitated for a moment, then said: "I heard that there are a few auspicious beasts in captivity."

"Human life is more important, or auspicious beasts?!"

Li Yuanji stared at Li Sixing and questioned him.

Li Sixing had a bitter face, and wanted to tell Li Yuanji that the auspicious beasts in the Royal Forest Garden were worth more than human lives.

But he dared not say it.

Because he could see that Li Yuanji valued human life more than beasts.

"Without the saint's will, hunting and killing the auspicious beasts in the Royal Forest Garden will be punished."

Li Sixing bent over and said.

Li Yuanji glared at Li Sixing, "You acted according to my order, what does getting convicted have to do with you? Hurry up and kill me, no need to say anything."

As soon as Li Yuanji said this, a smile appeared on Li Sixing's face, and he bowed and said, "I obey."

Seeing the smile on Li Sixing's face, Li Yuanji immediately understood.

He was tricked by Li Sixing.

It was Li Sixing who instigated him to kill the ferocious beasts in the Royal Forest Garden, and it was Li Sixing who pushed him back and forth.

Li Sixing was obviously planning to wipe out all the ferocious beasts in the Royal Forest Garden, but he was also afraid that if he killed the auspicious beasts, he would be questioned by Li Yuan, so he deliberately pushed back and forth.

The purpose is to let him take all the responsibility alone.

Li Yuanji understood the joints, and gave Li Sixing a vicious look.

Li Sixing was not at all afraid that Li Yuanji would see through his thoughts, and was glared at by Li Yuanji viciously, and even smiled at Li Yuanji, beckoning Qu Tutong and Luo Shixin to bring the warriors to kill the beasts with him.

Li Sixing took the people away, and Li Yuanji stared at the group of soldiers sorting out the refugees.

In the evening, the refugees were organized into phalanxes one after another, led by the officers of each army and the small officials of Luoyang City into Luoyang City.

Luoyang City can accommodate a population far exceeding [-].

Therefore, [-] refugees could not fill Luoyang City, at most they could support a corner of Luoyang City.

The people in Luoyang City are not disgusted with the refugees entering the city.

They have lived in Luoyang City for many years, witnessed the unprecedented prosperity of Luoyang City, and also witnessed the unprecedented depression of Luoyang City.

Population is what Luoyang City urgently needs, and it is also a necessary condition for Luoyang City to become prosperous again.

There are rich households in Luoyang City, when they saw refugees entering the city, they took part of their family's food storage and sent it to the Yamen.

Li Yuanji's promise to exchange food for his official position, the Luoyang Order has not yet been spread, and the people in Luoyang City still don't know about it.

Some of them donated food purely in the hope that these refugees could stay in Luoyang City after overcoming the difficulties and help Luoyang City restore its former prosperity.

There are also some people who have experienced suffering, so they can't see others suffering.

There are also some people who take the opportunity to seek some benefits.

At such a time to donate food, the Yamen will not let them go back empty-handed.

The yamen can't give them high officials and nobles, nor can they give them big houses and courtyards, but they can still give them some land.

There is no shortage of land in Luoyang now, but there is a shortage of people who cultivate the land.

With some of the food supported by the rich households in Luoyang, and a little food that Li Yuanji picked out from the mouths of soldiers and horses in the mansion and Bingzhou, the place where refugees were resettled in Luoyang City quickly set up a big pot and started porridge.

The Luoyang order took Luoyang's small officials and yamen servants, and with the cooperation of the soldiers, they resettled the refugees overnight and cooked porridge for the refugees overnight.

After resettling the refugees and serving a bowl of steaming porridge, Luoyang Ling would sit down the smiling refugees and ask them about their origins, how many people there are in their families, and so on.

Then immediately ordered the clerk to register and make the book.

When meeting some village elders, patriarchs, etc., the Luoyang order will open the door of convenience, and put them together from a township or a clan, and with a stroke of a pen, they will live in the houses where they live. It was given to them, and it was also promised that they would be given the land within three days, so that they could completely settle in Luoyang.

As for whether it was in compliance with the rules, Luoyang Ling didn't care.

As long as he changes the population of Luoyang from [-] households to [-] within three years.

Then Li Yuan would personally summon him, and his immediate superiors would turn a blind eye to everything he did that did not conform to the rules.

Datang now has no shortage of land or houses, but a shortage of people.

As long as you can increase the population under your rule, then you are an official.

As for whether the methods you use conform to the rules, no one will pursue it.

Luoyang Ling didn't do this before because he had no food in hand. Now that Li Yuanji will help him raise food, he can do it freely.

The refugees had a place to stay, holding porridge in their hands, and having such a caring official from Luoyang Ling greeted them with warmth, it was crying loudly.

In contrast, the barracks is a different scene.

Carloads of skinned beasts were transported to the barracks, and the cook told them that this was the ration for the next few days, and the soldiers screamed excitedly.

Most of them are not of high status, and they don't have many opportunities to eat meat on weekdays, let alone the meat of wild animals.

Even if a wild animal is hunted in the countryside, it will be carried to the market and sold for a good price, so as to supplement the family.

Now, the beast meat was open to them to eat, and they couldn't help but howl excitedly.

Li Yuanji's anger dissipated a lot after the refugees all entered the city, and after they had scraped together enough food for the refugees to have a full meal.

Seeing the soldiers howling, volunteering to help the cooks deal with the beasts, and teaching them the experience of cooking beasts, a smile appeared on Li Yuanji's face.

Han Liang and Yu Zhining walked up to Li Yuanji boldly.

Yu Zhining was about the same build as Han Liang, thin and thin, with a three-stroke beard.

"Your Highness, it's a bit against the rules for you to exchange the meat of beasts for the army's rations."

Han Liang smiled wryly and bowed to Li Yuanji.

Li Yuanji glanced at Han Liang, and said indifferently: "What's wrong with the rules? Eating meat can also fill you up."

Yu Zhining said seriously: "Your Highness, it's not a question of whether you are full or not."

Han Liang nodded and said, "You will whet the appetites of the soldiers. Once they get used to eating meat, they will no longer be able to eat those ordinary military rations."

Yu Zhining added: "Moreover, the ferocious beasts in the Royal Forest Garden are also included in our calculations for raising food and grass. Now you kill such ferocious beasts, and distribute them as rations to the soldiers, and give the remaining rations to the refugees. .

Then the food and grass we need for this expedition will be less. "

Li Yuanji's eyes fell on Han Liang and Yu Zhining, and he asked, "Are you here to ask me about your crimes?"

Han Liang and Yu Zhining bowed together.

"I dare not!"

Li Yuanji stared at the two and said: "Then you want me to die?"

Han Liang and Yu Zhining lowered their waists even lower, but they didn't speak.

It was difficult for them to respond to Li Yuanji's words.

Seeing that the two were silent, Li Yuanji asked: "The beasts that should be killed are probably killed, and the ones that shouldn't be killed are probably about to be killed. The food hasn't been given to the refugees yet.

Why don't you withhold the food, and when the refugees run out of food, there will be turmoil, and you will lead troops to suppress it? "

Han Liang and Yu Zhining hurriedly said, "I dare not!"

Suppressing the refugee unrest outside the city is called repression.

Suppressing refugees who have been resettled but forced to turn back is called conspiracy.

This crime is not a small one, even if Han Liang and Yu Zhining are covered by Li Shimin, they cannot afford it.

Li Yuanji glanced at the two of them, and said calmly: "The commander-in-chief intends to use the ferocious beasts in the Royal Forest Garden of Luoyang City as food for the soldiers, anyway, he must tell me, the chief of the army, right?"
