Datang unsigned for six years, only to know that it is Journey to the West

Chapter 32 Promoting the Imperial Examination, Chonghanmen, I will give you another fetish 【Please recommend a monthly ticket】

Su Chen considered for a moment before opening his mouth slowly.

He clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, the reason for signing the lottery is actually that in some places there is no harvest in the autumn harvest, the people are displaced, and starvation is everywhere, which leads to various vicious incidents."

Li Shimin nodded. Datang people are actually very docile, and food is enough.

If there is no food, the sheep will also turn into a wolf.

Su Chen said: "Last year's weather has already predicted that this year's harvest will be aborted. The north is drought, the south is flooded, and the farmland has suffered devastating damage, which has caused serious damage to this year's crops."

"It's already like this, but as a result, we also encountered a locust plague that was once in a hundred years. Before the autumn harvest, there was no harvest. Now the autumn harvest, the people are even more miserable."

After Su Chen's simple description, and comparing it with the natural disasters that happened last year, Li Shimin felt that it made sense.

Last year, it was true that there was a drought in the north and floods in the south, and the farmland suffered heavy losses, but the situation reported by the officials did not seem to be as exaggerated as what Su Chen said.

however.

Li Shimin thought about it carefully, maybe the officials reported good news but not bad news.

He had to send someone to investigate before he knew the so-called truth.

But it's all something later, he must now know how to solve these things if they really happened.

Even if he became the emperor, he was still helpless in the face of these natural disasters.

Li Shimin said: "Please ask the heavenly master to teach me."

Su Chen said: "It's easy to solve. The harvest is a foregone conclusion. Your Majesty must face the facts. When the time comes, send people to prepare food in advance, distribute it to the victims, and then give them rice seeds to encourage them to survive."

Li Shimin said in despair: "The national treasury doesn't have much grain. The extra grain harvested in Xia has already been used to fight the Turks. I can't even get a grain of rice out."

Su Chen said: "Your Majesty has no food, but many people have it."

He didn't say who had the food, but Li Shimin understood what he meant in an instant.

Family!

The aristocratic families of the Tang Dynasty are all filthy wealthy forces, even their Li family is actually an incomparably huge family.

Most of the ministers above the court, as well as the big officials in various places, as well as local important officials, are supported by aristocratic families.

They do have food in their hands.

Li Shimin said: "They do have food in their hands, but I don't want to come."

He was very troubled. The family's problem was what Li Shimin wanted to solve when he came to the throne, but now it's the end of the seventh year of Zhenguan, and he can't solve it.

If you want to take food from the aristocratic family, you will be taking food from the mouth of a tiger, and the possibility is too low.

Su Chen said with a smile: "Your Majesty, they have the food, they can grab it or buy it, of course, we need a few big ones to take the lead in donating and selling the food, and the rest will follow."

Li Shimin's eyes lit up. This method is simple and crude, but it seems to be really good.

Let his heart suddenly open up.

I was always afraid to touch the family before, but taking this opportunity, maybe it is a good time to touch the family, and I can also test the attitude and bottom line of the family.

Su Chen continued: "Your Majesty can still pay attention to the imperial examination. Only when talents come from poor families can their foundation be shaken."

Emphasis on imperial examinations? !
The light in Li Shimin's eyes became brighter and brighter, and Su Chen's actions spoke to the bottom of his heart.

It was really like the sun, shining on his dark heart, making him suddenly enlightened.

Prospering the imperial examination, heavy cold family, the family will surely be defeated!

good idea!
Li Shimin also laughed at the same time. Su Chen came up with several ideas to deal with the family, but he didn't mention the word family at all.

It's too cautious!

He also had great admiration for Su Chen. He had been thinking about this kind of eternal strategy for seven years and couldn't figure it out. How did Su Chen think of it all of a sudden? !
Li Shimin said: "How did the Celestial Master get such a good plan?"

Su Chen said: "Everything is in the lottery, this is God's will."

Li Shimin kept his secrets secret at once, and at the same time he was ecstatic. This means that God is on his side, because God is always pointing him.

The old eunuch listened to him, and he also admired Su Chen very much. Fortunately, such a plan was a secret. If this person came up with it, then how terrifying he would be!
The national policy came at his fingertips, and the aristocratic dominance that had plagued the Sui and Tang Dynasties for decades was easily deciphered by him.

Its wisdom is close to that of a demon!

Li Shimin said again: "If it is true that the number of people affected by the disaster increases, even if it is from the world...they get some food from their hands, it is just a drop in the bucket. If I want to completely change the status quo, what should I do?!"

Su Chen said: "Relief with work. The victims have jobs and the country has construction. This is a win-win situation."

Cash for work!

The light in Li Shimin's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he rushed forward with excitement and stood up straight away.

He actually saluted Su Chen very respectfully, clasped his fists and bowed to salute.

The old eunuch was so frightened that he wanted to step forward to help him, but Li Shimin threw him away and saluted seriously.

"On behalf of the people of the world, I thank the Heavenly Master for his teaching."

Su Chen said: "I still have one thing to give to Your Majesty, maybe it can make Datang more prosperous and overcome this year's difficulties."

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled, but he had some expectation in his heart.

Given by the Heavenly Master, it must be extraordinary.

Su Chen gave orders, and Sun Simiao quickly brought a tray.

When I opened it, there was an ear of rice.

Li Shimin directly picked it up in surprise. This is the fairy rice that the queen brought back, but this one is fuller and the grains are obviously mature.

Excited in his heart, he tentatively asked: "Tianshi, what is this?"

Su Chen was speechless. At the beginning, he deliberately asked the queen's subordinates to take Xiandao away. He didn't believe that Li Shimin didn't know.

but.

The emperor must not admit that his wife has become a thief. Since he is pretending to be stupid, Su Chen should not know it.

He said: "This is the fairy rice seed, which contains weak spiritual power. Taking it can strengthen the body. Of course, the most important thing is that good fields can produce ten thousand catties per mu, medium fields can also produce eight thousand catties per mu, and inferior fields can produce [-] catties per mu. It can also produce five or six thousand catties per mu."

hiss!
Li Shimin gasped.

Although the queen had said it before, when Su Chen mentioned it, he was still pleasantly surprised.

Is there really such a fetish? !

Su Chen said again: "But the most amazing thing is that this kind of rice can be harvested nine times a year, and it takes less than one and a half months to harvest one season."

"really?!!"

Li Shimin's voice changed in shock, full of surprises.

The old eunuch also knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face, "God bless the Tang Dynasty, God bless the Tang Dynasty, congratulations to Your Majesty for getting this fetish, I am very lucky to be in the Tang Dynasty."

Su Chen glanced at him, and took out the treasure by himself, but the old eunuch patted all his flattery.

Li Shimin was pleasantly surprised, he didn't expect Su Chen to hand over this thing.

That's why he came here, but he kept refusing to speak out because he was afraid of being rejected.

Unexpectedly, Su Chen offered it on his own initiative.

If he had known this earlier, he should have come long ago!
There are nine crops a year, and the second-class fields can produce five or six thousand catties per mu. The Tang Dynasty is about to grow!
You know, in today's Tang Dynasty, the yield of fertile land is only two to three hundred catties per mu.

Li Shimin said: "Tianshi, I want to thank you for all the people in the world, thank you so much."

With a good policy for governing the country, there are also fairy rice seeds.

Li Shimin didn't want to stay anymore, he just wanted to go back and get things done quickly.

Su Chen didn't want him to stay either, only if Li Shimin resolved this matter as soon as possible, he could get the Immortal Golden Body Saint Emperor Immortal Golden Body!

He took out [-] catties of newly harvested grain and gave it to Li Shimin. After someone took it back, the day also darkened.

After sending the person away, Su Chen was also rewarded with 3000 years of skill.

In an instant, he had more than 8000 years of skill.

Such skill gave Su Chen a sense of detachment, and made him want to soar to the sky.

Su Chen wanted to try to climb the clouds and ride the fog to see if the heavens could still stop him.

but.

He held back.

It's better to wait until he gets the immortal golden body, he is worried that if there really is a heaven, he will be smashed to the ground.

With the golden body of a fairy, it's a little safer.

Li Shimin went down the mountain and summoned a group of ministers to Zichen Hall to discuss matters overnight.

Those who came were all the pillars of the country, besides civil officials such as Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, and military generals such as Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong.

Li Shimin was very excited, and all the officials were a little puzzled.

Wei Zheng said, "Why did Your Majesty summon us?"

Li Shimin said: "I heard in the morning that the autumn harvest is plentiful and the country is prosperous and the people are safe, but I always feel that something is wrong, so I want to ask, is this really true?"

Wei Zheng and the others looked at each other.

They only read the memorials of autumn harvest reports from various places in the morning, so there is no problem!

Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, except for a few state capitals, basically all the reports are good harvests."

Li Shimin shook his head, "No, how could there be a bumper harvest when the locusts crossed the border? Moreover, there were many natural and man-made disasters last year, so this year's harvest will be good. There is absolutely no chance of a bumper harvest!"

Everyone was also puzzled, but the situation was unknown, so they dared not speak anymore.

Li Shimin took out a few memorials and threw them at them, "These local state capitals were severely affected by the disaster last year. One-third of the disaster victims outside Chang'an came from them. How can there be a good harvest?"

The ministers were shocked.

Taking a closer look, they are all the smartest people in Datang, and they immediately understood that someone was concealing the report.

Exactly at this time.

Someone delivered newspapers outside the palace gate overnight.

"Report!! The drought in Shandong is rare in a century, thousands of miles of starvation, no harvest in autumn, there have been civil uprisings, and 18 disaster victims are heading to Chang'an!"

When the news spread in Zichen Palace, the officials were shocked, and Li Shimin also got up suddenly.

He was furious.

The ministers were also shocked, even the eldest grandson Wuji who did not change his face when Mount Tai collapsed, and Fang Xuanling were extremely shocked.

Cheng Yaojin was even more startled, "Your Majesty, the people will have no income, civil uprisings will occur, the army will suppress them outside, and we will not be in chaos internally. What should we do?!"
