Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 211
Du Ruhui was helping the disaster in Henan, and the imperial court had fully understood the astonishing scope of the disaster.

Even though they were rushing to deliver food, in fact this road was not easy to walk.

Because this is a flood, the road is naturally extremely rugged under the flood.

More importantly, a lot of food was directly submerged by water, including the food in the warehouses established in various states, and a large part of it was lost in this disaster, which caused serious damage to the food supply of the entire Henan region. quite a lot of pressure.

Even though Datang built a granary in Luoyang, the roads were muddy and the bridges were washed away. Even if the order to transport grain was issued, it was really not easy to transport the grain to the disaster area.

At this time, Luoyang Jinkou, which was established by Lu Cai, began to play a role in transshipment of materials.

But at most, you can walk along the main current. In some narrow and unmanaged rivers, it is difficult for ordinary ships to pass.

Where the waterway is out of reach, there is really no way.

Du Ruhui was similar in this regard, he could only care about the people along the river, and he couldn't care about the people on land either.

With the [-] grains, Du Ruhui went directly to Xuzhou, where the disaster was the worst, to take over government affairs for disaster relief.

Of course, when Du Ruhui was carrying out disaster relief, Li Tai's letter angrily reprimanding Du Ruhui for forcefully expropriating [-] shi of grain and dispatching Youzhou personnel was also sent to the court.

In addition, Li Tai specifically stated that the money and food had been accumulated with great difficulty by himself, and he originally planned to develop the food in Cangzhou.

In the end, Du Ruhui was forcibly recruited away as the right minister, so the court should give an explanation!
Li Tai's letter of complaint walked straight into Zongzheng's mansion, and soon arrived at Li Shimin's desk.

Obviously, everyone in this matter knew that Du Ruhui's original intention was right.

But there must be a problem with the procedure, and the fact that he used the identity of the right servant to force the first-rank prince, the court must give an explanation for this matter.

Li Shimin couldn't help frowning when he saw this scene, took out this memorial and looked at it, and said in a deep voice,

"There is actually a typo in the memorabilia given to me, and there is an order for King Yan to copy this memorandum six hundred times.

As for his food loss, after October, the imperial court will give him [-] shi of grain, which will be allocated from my internal funds!
Tell the king of Yan that he will be given a hundred shi of grain for every copy of the memorial, and that he will be given as much grain as the memorials handed in before October! "

"Saints are holy!" All the civil and military officials present immediately stood up and praised Li Shimin.

There is no way, one is Du Ruhui and the other is Li Tai. Obviously, neither of them is easy to mess with, so it is a good thing to be able to get along with Si Ni.

Everyone is just a wooden man watching this memorial. Now that there is finally a result, it is natural to say anything.

On the other hand, Li Chengqian, who was on the side, felt a ripple in his heart when he heard this, but he didn't say anything.

After all, Du Ruhui forcibly confiscated the food, and Li Tai only expressed his attitude to compensate the court as much as he played.

And it's not that the imperial court can't afford the food, since Li Tai called, then give Li Tai a little comfort.

From Li Chengqian's point of view, the aggressive Li Tai at the time followed him to Youzhou and became the King of Yan, so he was no longer his contender for the throne.

Under such circumstances, there is no need for him to express ill will towards Li Tai for no reason.

After all, no matter how you say it, Li Tai is his own brother, they used to be too close, and there are children from other people's families around him every day, so he naturally finds it annoying.

But now that the two sides are far away, Li Chengqian actually misses Li Tai a little bit.

Of course, Li Shimin only hopes that Li Tai's vision and structure can be bigger, and he understands the principle of putting people first and water can carry a boat.

Du Ruhui dispatched food directly from Li Tai, stabilized the flooded area as quickly as possible, and prevented the entire disaster from eroding. This is a great achievement no matter how you look at it.

In contrast, Du Ruhui confiscated Li Tai's hard-earned food, and the court naturally wanted to compensate him.

Just looking at Li Tai's handwriting, although I feel a little more energetic, but the handwriting is a bit irregular, so let Li Tai practice calligraphy.

After all, my family, Li Tai's handwriting really dragged the whole family down!

Soon this memorial was sent out and sent to Tianjin City as quickly as possible. Li Tai couldn't help but twitch his mouth when he looked at this memorial, because he didn't find any typos in the memorial at all!

There was no way, Li Tai immediately wrote a memorial, expressing that he had made a mistake and would correct it immediately.

In addition, I heard that the floods in the Henan area caused all the people to be displaced and became refugees. Now I am willing to recruit and resettle some refugees from Henan.

Li Taizhong is not the kind of person who doesn't make any mistakes, in fact he has been making mistakes since he was a child.

But after you make a mistake, you will either remedy it, modify it, or persist until the other party admits your mistake.

All in all, Li Tai never set up a perfect personality for himself. On the contrary, Li Tai made himself more of a person.

Just like this, Li Shimin didn't care too much about Li Tai's participation in Du Ruhui's book.

Because Li Shimin saw that Li Tai was the same, let Li Tai realize that he was wrong, then Li Tai will take the initiative to take the mistake and correct it.

Of course, if it can't be proved that Li Tai is wrong about this matter, then Li Tai will persist and prove the other party's mistake to death.

This is also the case, this kind of matter that can clearly see the priority, Li Shimin believes that asking Li Tai to copy [-] copies of Li Tai's own memorabilia will definitely make Li Tai hate the content of his memorabilia, why did he write a lot at the beginning!
And Li Tai himself knows his personality better, so Li Tai was ready to put forward his idea of ​​winning over the people of Henan Province when he wrote the memorial to Li Shimin for the second time.

One is to give the people of Henan Province a way to survive. After all, winter will soon enter, and even if the imperial court wants to provide disaster relief, it will not be able to provide relief.

The second is that the project in Cangzhou is about to start, and my demand for manpower will really explode, no matter what, it will not be enough.

As for the third, with the flood here, I searched for a batch of labor force, so next year there will definitely be a shortage of labor force here. If there are more cattle planned in the "Grass Seed Project", can they be sold to Henan Province? !
After all, the Youzhou aristocratic family participating in the "Seed Project" can only say that they have not suffered a loss, but they cannot say that they have really made a profit.

After all, Li Tai didn't believe that the family really accepted him, and he even believed that the family would not betray him to benefit him.

When the Youzhou family really makes money, then the "Grass Seed Project" doesn't need to be watched.

An industrial chain from planting grass to raising cattle and sheep to providing labor for the vast farming market was born naturally.

With the emergence of this industrial chain, the income brought by the large-scale ranch is almost comparable to that of agriculture. They are all trillion-level industries. One is about people eating, and the other is about people eating meat. Will be jealous.

At that time, my orders in Youzhou will naturally be all-encompassing. After all, whoever doesn't want to make money, just kick him out.

The Youzhou aristocratic family in the outer circle now only regret that they didn't buy more shares at the beginning, so they don't need to drool now.

So Li Tai decisively wrote a letter to impeach Du Ruhui, one is that a crying baby has milk to eat, and the other is that he occasionally has a sense of presence.

After all, the kind of people who say that they are stubborn, maybe they will really become a dog in the end, and then they will cry to someone.

However, Li Shimin's reply was also extremely fast and quite concise.

"Copy the memorabilia once, allow to recruit a hundred people, no upper limit, still limited to October!"

What can Li Tai do, he can only continue to copy books, but fortunately Li Tai is not lazy, he is still copying books these days when the edict was issued.

Because Li Tai originally estimated that even if Li Shimin didn't get all the relief, he would probably copy at least [-] times, so Li Tai still copied the memorial obediently.

But now Li Tai can only write vigorously, he only hates what he did for letting Bai He write the memorial so long.

Now I really regret that I wrote this memorial. If I play smart, I will suffer a lot!
Finally, Li Tai's right hand became red and swollen from copying. After all, a thousand copies were copied out before October.

If it wasn't for his own hand, he couldn't lift it anymore, and it would be almost time for Babaili to rush these over. Li Tai couldn't help but copy it a thousand times, after all, this is a population of 10.

During this process, Li Tai also thought of using printing or other techniques to cheat, but he held back in the end.

After all, writing by yourself is just a relatively weak spirit. If you use printing, you will have no vitality at all. You can't fool Li Shimin in this world. After all, he is your real backer .

Soon, the eight hundred miles of the imperial court rushed to send all the memorials that Li Tai had copied a thousand copies to Chang'an.

Li Shimin looked at Li Tai's copy of the article like a hill, and murmured, "Qing Que really copied it, how many copies?"

The servant Wang De reminded, "There are a thousand copies in total, and the King of Yan probably copied it for more than a month!"

"This Qingque doesn't care about my body too much!" Li Shimin sighed with relief and distress, and said to the servant beside him: "Send all these to my study, but I just want to see, Qing Has the sparrow's homework improved?"

"Follow the order!" Wang De waved his hand, and ordered the books to be sent to the study.

To be honest, Li Shimin understands that what is written in this memorial is actually not important, what is important is that Li Tai copied the thousand copies to express his attitude that he really wants the population of Henan.

The 6 people he had promised him could not satisfy Li Tai's appetite. He wanted more people, and even if the time was not approaching, Li Shimin suspected that Li Tai would copy it down again.

Li Shimin flipped through Li Tai's manuscripts, but he could feel Li Tai's tenacious and upward spirit from these manuscripts, especially in every memorial after more than [-] copies.

Although the handwriting became more and more scribbled, Li Shimin felt a rush of desire for population.

"It seems that Qingque can still write well! It's just that the method used before was wrong!"

Li Shimin stroked his beard, but picked four of them that felt the best and collected them.

As for the other memorials, I handed them over to the servants for disposal, otherwise, who would leave the child's summer vacation copying homework.

However, Li Shimin quickly issued an order to allow Yan Wangdao Henan to recruit the affected people and go to Youzhou for resettlement.

Even in terms of quantity, Li Shimin has no limit, the extra ones should be regarded as a reward for Li Tai's stubbornness!

Speeding up the horse, he rode another [-] miles in a hurry, and headed directly to Youzhou.

When the fast horse passed through Jiangzhou on the east road, there were young men in their early twenties wearing ragged jackets who were sitting beside the Yellow River, watching the Yellow River rushing endlessly, while thinking about the announcement made by the head of the Xue family just now.

Because Xue Dading, the governor of Cangzhou, lacked people, he sent people to call on the clansmen. If anyone in Xue's family knew how to farm and grow wheat, he might be able to go over and be a helper, or even be awarded to a farmer of the seventh rank.

Of course, the general descendants of the Xue family are naturally not interested in this, but those low-level Xue family's Tian family members are a little bit eager to make a move.

To be honest, as members of the Xue family, they have a little more knowledge than ordinary Tian Shelang, and they know that King Yan created an agricultural academy, which is considered a way of life for Tian Shelang, but this way of life is in Chang'an, and they in Hedong can't get through it. .

Now, Xue Dading, a prominent member of the Xue family, has not forgotten his clansmen, and even greeted the clan when he was short of manpower.

The Xue family is more or less a wealthy family in Hedong, so they have to provide some people to support them.

Of course, it must be free registration at the beginning, but if there are not many people, then the poor family with many brothers will share one more, and ten or twenty people can be regarded as giving Xue Dading face.

At this time, Xue Li was a little ready to move, but if he left, no one would clean his parents' cemetery, and it would be a pity that his several acres of fertile land were abandoned, and he would have to obey his father's order to marry Liu Mei. It's also hard to make up your mind.

"Xue Lang!" A voice like a silver bell sounded behind Xue Li. Xue Li turned around, but saw a face full of youthful vigor.

Xue Li smiled and said, "Sister Liu! Why are you here?"

"Xue Lang, you want to see the Dragon King as soon as you have the heart. The patriarch said that Xue Cishi wants to recruit the clansmen, are you moved?" Liu Mei looked at Xue Li and said, "Otherwise, you wouldn't come here to see the Dragon King." !"

"Liu Mei..." Xue Li heard Liu Mei's words and said, "But if I leave, what will happen to the family affairs!"

"It's me!" Miss Liu said proudly, "I'll go to sweep the graves of my father and mother, and I also know how to do farming at home. If you really want to go, I'll be there in front of you!"

"You're not from my Xue family, you're not ashamed to call my father and mother!" Xue Li couldn't help but chuckled when he saw Liu Mei's appearance.

"Xue Rengui! Your mother accepted my birth date, do you want to regret the marriage!" Liu Mei suddenly changed her face when she heard this.

For Liu Mei, this joke touched the bottom line a bit, if Xue Li dared to say yes, he would jump off the Yellow River directly!
"Sit down, sit down, why are you so angry!" Xue Li didn't say much, and went to hug Liu Mei, Liu Mei struggled symbolically, and stopped resisting, and sat down with Xue Li.

Xue Li said, "Do you really want me to venture out so much?"

"Xue Lang, you are talented, and you are better at farming. Since Governor Xue seeks help from his family, it is an opportunity for you, Xue Lang! Xue Lang, you will not stay in this Longmen forever." Liu Mei hesitated. Still tell the truth.

Xue Li hugged him even tighter, and said, "Liu sister, thank you!"

"Then Xue Lang, you have to promise me one thing."

"what's up?"

"Remember to go home."
