Tang Taizong is my elder brother

Chapter 26 Planning
In the early morning of the second day, facing the first ray of sunlight entering the camp, the herb-picking brigade marched mightily towards Longshan.

The largest tent in the camp was used by Chang Sheng as a meeting hall. Inside the tent was a soft couch, a set of tables and chairs, and a stove for boiling water.

At this moment, a new pot of tea had just been boiled on the stove in the tent, Chang Sheng took off his shoes and sat cross-legged on the couch, while pouring tea, he watched his two older brothers looking at Longshan, knowing that their thoughts were no longer here.

Chang Sheng gently put down the teapot, and said in a warm voice: "You two brothers, don't worry. This is only the first day, and the situation on the mountain is complicated. It won't be too late for you to go up the mountain when they find out the situation on the mountain."

The two knew that what Chang Sheng said was true, if the father would have said this, he would probably only have one sentence: "You are too young, you are not allowed to go."

The younger brother took the trouble to explain it to them, and Jixiang smiled at the moment: "What you said, Changsheng, is that we are not in a hurry, and besides, this mountain is not idle."

Changsheng nodded: "That's right, brother, you have the most important thing today: continue to recruit people. In addition to strong and healthy men, I also want old and weak women and children. Just one thing you have to be careful, the people who buy don't Infected with the plague! Be careful when you go by yourself."

"Buying someone again, Changsheng?" Ruyi, who had been silent all this time, asked suddenly.

Changsheng pointed to the outside, where there were extinguished fires, falling rice residues, unidentified liquid with a sour smell, as well as countless broken stones, pieces of cloth, and hair in the huge open space.

"Here~ are you going to clean them up?" Chang Sheng asked.

I don't know if I don't look at it, I was shocked when I saw it, and Ruyi just discovered it, and was shocked immediately.

He who had just finished his breakfast, looked at the scene in front of him, and suddenly felt a churning in his stomach, he turned his head away quickly, not daring to look at it again.

"Brother, buy, buy more people, come back, and clean up here!"

Seeing this excuse, Changsheng fooled Ruyi, smiled and handed Jili a piece of paper, "Please help me buy the above things too."

Ji Xiang took a look and saw that there was a large list of things densely written on it, and the required quantity was marked on the back of each.

"First of all, food. My mother said in the morning that the price of corn has risen again. We can't buy much rice and noodles with our money. See if there are any potatoes and buy more... What? What are potatoes? Potatoes, yams..."

Seeing that everyone was bewildered, Changsheng described it several times, but everyone still didn't know what a potato was.

Only then did Changsheng realize that it is the Sui Dynasty, well, it seems that potatoes have not yet been introduced to China.

"Okay then, bring Cook Wang, yes, the fat one at home. Tell her how many people there are now and how many people there will be in the future, let her go buy some food, and tell her that there is only one request: buy cheap Yes, the quantity must be large, and you can still eat enough, and the price can be lowered as low as you can, and we don’t have much money.”

Ji Xiang nodded and wrote the words 'Wang Chef' behind the food.

Changsheng took a sip of tea and continued: "The second is daily necessities. The people who gather medicine will live here for a long time in the future, and we have to start preparing."

The plan of Changsheng before the bet was: use his own and state funds to buy as many people as possible, let them help Sun Simiao collect medicine, and then prepare prescriptions to control the epidemic in various states and counties.When the epidemic is under control, you can use this as a bargaining chip to appeal to the court and apply for food relief.

This will not only turn the crisis into his father's achievements, but also help the people, killing two birds with one stone.

But now she wants to go one step further, not only to temporarily rescue the victims, but also to give them a livelihood.

In her opinion, only by providing jobs to those fleeing from famine, they can fundamentally solve the problem of survival if they have income, relying only on the relief money from the imperial court who does not know where it is, is like wiping a big hole in the head with paper , It's just a slow death, it can't solve the fundamental problem.

So she plans to carry out production here, open up wasteland and farm, hunt and fish, and may even open schools and hospitals, gradually turning this place into a permanent residence for foreigners.

"To keep them alive, we must plant land for them and give them work. Only when they have a harvest and earn money will they have hope of living." Changsheng explained to the two.

"So we not only have to give them food and drink, but also feed them?" Ruyi said with wide-eyed eyes.

This is incomprehensible to him. Although Changsheng gave up his life to protect the maidservant before, he felt that it was outrageous, but at least it can be understood as caring for his servants, but these people have never met before. Changsheng did this except for the Avalokitesvara enshrined in his mother's room. Bodhisattva, he couldn't think of the second possibility.

"Longevity, do you want to be Guanyin Bodhisattva?"

Changsheng choked on a sip of tea and coughed again and again. Jixiang gave Ruyi a glance, and hurriedly climbed onto the soft couch to pat her on the back.

"With a compassionate heart to save suffering and suffering, who can say that he is not a Bodhisattva?" Commander Liao said with a smile.

Changsheng's small face was flushed from coughing, and after a long time he finally got better. He wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, cleared his throat and said, "General Liao, don't listen to his nonsense. Is the Guanyin Master comparable to ordinary people like me. It's just I think if the problem of food cannot be completely solved, and if you have received relief today and have food, if you encounter the same disaster next year and just repeat today’s story, then it’s better to settle it once and for all.”

"How to do it once and for all, as you said, to plant land for them?" General Liao was a little curious about Changsheng's plan.

"Yes, not all of it. I haven't figured out all of it. Now time is tight and I don't have time to elaborate. Let's wait for time in the future. But now I'm afraid I have to trouble General Liao again."

"The humble job was originally ordered to come here to assist the young man, but the young man said it's okay."

Changsheng saluted: "We still need more tents. As you know, more people will come soon, which may be several times, or even dozens of times. Before enough houses are built , I can only let them sleep in tents. In order not to make them homeless again, please."

Commander Liao stroked his chin and thought for a moment: "The humble job can still provide [-] sets, and if there are more, it must be reported to the authority. It's just that it will be a little troublesome."

Flies are small, but they are meat, and three hundred sets is not a lot. If a tent allows them to sleep twenty people, that is 6000 people.

After the calculation was clear, Chang Sheng hurriedly nodded and agreed: "No problem, three hundred sets are enough, and when you can get them, the speaker will be here soon."

"No problem, I'll do it right now." Commander Liao was also very straightforward, so he got up and left.

Chang Sheng hurriedly grabbed his hand, dimpled out of his smile, "Hey, it's better to bring some more iron pans, since eating is also a big problem."

"Young master, don't worry!" Commander Liao smiled, turned around and went out with fists in his hands.

Changsheng lay back, threw himself on the soft couch, and happily hummed a song.

This has solved another major problem, who should I turn to next?

Ruyi and Jixiang also lay on both sides of her in a similar manner. Jixiang turned sideways, raised his head and asked, "House, food, and people are all there. What's next?"

"money."

Changsheng sat up in a jerk, turned around and said to his cousin quickly: "Go, go to the state capital to find my father, someone still owes me 2000 taels, I want to come back! Let my father send someone who can do arithmetic and bookkeeping to the state capital." Clerk, ask him to record every daily expense in this camp, and you will supervise it, Cousin Qiao, and I will use it if you keep it.”

Jixiang got up quickly, and said while putting on his shoes: "Okay, I'll go right away, my master, do you have any other orders?" He said and made a face at Changsheng.

"Teasing me again, how dare I order you, my good brother~~"

Chang Sheng also spoke softly on purpose, acting like a little girl.

Ji Xiang smiled: "It's okay if you just lie to Ruyi..."

Ruyi shuddered at the side, her face full of bewilderment: "What are you calling me for?"

The two were the same, they laughed, and Jixiang left Ruyi who was confused and walked out the door quickly.
