Datang: Touching the Corpse Li Yuanba at the Beginning

"Yes!"

Li Zhong agreed, and escaped into the darkness again, as if he had never appeared before.

"Brother Prince, you must be careful, the Wang family is powerful, so don't make His Majesty unhappy."

Before parting, Li Changge gave thousands of warnings, and Wan asked, for fear that Li Wenhao would be impulsive in the court.

Early the next morning, Li Wenhao came to the court with a sigh of relief, and saw all the officials bowing and saluting along the way.

"Recently, there was a drought in Shandong, and the military disaster just happened in the pass. Refugees from these two places poured out in large numbers. Now the number of refugees outside Chang'an is close to [-]. This is not counted as refugees outside Chang'an. What do you guys think? idea?"

In the court hall, Li Shimin asked with memorials from various places.

"Your Majesty, now we can only use the food stored in various places to appease the victims, and wait for the food from the south to arrive."

Feng Deyi spoke first.

"Store food?"

"Master Feng, don't you pay attention to the current food price in Chang'an?"

"The flood season is approaching, and there are many embankments on the Grand Canal, and there is a risk of leakage. How can this ship transport grain to the north?"

Changsun Wuji scolded Feng Deyi angrily.

Now there are some people in the court of Tang Dynasty who talk about hype, but in fact it has no practical effect at all.

It’s already August now, and the autumn rains will come soon. No one dares to say what will happen on the Grand Canal when the autumn rains come. At that time, the food will be shipped, but what if it doesn’t?

Is the entire Chang'an City, the entire Guanzhong, and Shandong starving?

"If there is a problem with the Grand Canal, there is only a small Tongguan official road connecting the north and the south. When the food is transported to the border, my soldiers will probably starve to death."

Li Shimin slapped the table angrily, how could it be a disaster for him, the new emperor, to ascend the throne?

"Your Majesty, the situation you said is good. Now the official road in Tongguan has been completely blocked. The grain and goods piled up between the two capitals of Luoyang and Chang'an, as well as the grain that came from Yangzhou and changed to land, are all blocked in Tongguan. On the official road."

"Your Majesty, Li Daozong has already sent several documents urging payment, and the border towns are also waiting for payment."

Fang Xuanling stood up and said.

"Tell me, what do you do now in this situation?"

"The refugees in Shandong and Guanzhong have not been resolved, and now the water transportation is blocked."

"This pass is about to be trapped to death."

Li Shimin said angrily.

"Your Majesty, I think that government offices and military camps in various places can borrow food from local rich families. After the water transportation is completed, we can just pay some interest."

Wang Gui stood up and said.

He said that because he wanted Li Shimin to rely on their aristocratic families, so as to dilute the conflict with Li Wenhao yesterday and make a fortune.

"At that time, you are taking the opportunity to make a fortune for the country, right?"

Li Wenhao said with a half smile.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince's words are wrong. I did this for the sake of my Tang Dynasty. How could it be that I made a fortune for the country?"

"Wang Gui, you don't need to pretend to be a good person here. You can tell what your family is from the urine of your son yesterday. You know how your family's land, money and food come from. If you don't accept it, how dare you Let this Baiqisi go and investigate?"

"Do you dare to say that those who drive up prices now, and those who block the Tongguan official road, do not have people from your family?"

"Prince, now we are discussing how to solve the problem, not for you to quarrel. If you have nothing to do, don't open your mouth."

Li Shimin glared at Li Wenhao angrily, and thought to himself, why is Da Lang so unwise today?

--

The author says:

There are two more chapters today.Starting tomorrow, five chapters will be released together. (The main reason is that I didn't save the manuscript, so I wrote it out in advance tonight.) Weak chickens save their lives.

Chapter 61 Your family is rich, but it’s not that you can’t afford it

"There's nothing we can do about this?"

"Master Wang, why don't you speak?"

Li Wenhao obviously did it on purpose, and Li Shimin also saw it. Li Wenhao must have a plan in his mind, but he didn't say it because he wanted to make Wang Gui look bad.

"Okay, if there is a way, tell me quickly. I have time to wait here. Do the victims and the border army have time?"

"cut!"

Li Wenhao stuck out his tongue.

"The Grand Canal should naturally be unblocked and blocked where it should be blocked. It's nothing to say, just send a prudent general there."

"Is this Tongguan official way..."

Li Wenhao glanced at Wang Gui.

"That's even simpler. So many people congested on this official road is nothing more than a profit. At that time, cards will be set up on the official road and heavy taxes will be imposed, making it unprofitable for businessmen. At the same time, the government will come forward to calm prices. Is it over if you ransack your family and exterminate your family?”

"Cut down two corrupt officials who broke the law, and the Tongguan official road will be unblocked within five days."

"Of course, this is not absolute. What if someone is disturbed and intentionally blocks the official way? So, when everyone enters the official way, we have to send him a time nameplate and an identity nameplate. If they stay for too long, that's okay Check it out."

hiss!

As soon as Li Wenhao finished speaking, there was a sound of air-conditioning in the hall.

Such a move is not insidious, but it is undeniable that this is the best method for now.

What country does not compete with the people for profit?

Nonsense.

Now that the wind and rain are so precarious, the country comes first.

As for the merchants who drive up prices, it can only be said that it is unlucky to cut whoever.

"Oh, by the way, let me add that in order to prevent people from getting rich, the people on both sides of the Tongguan official road will use my White Horse Camp this time."

Li Wenhao's words directly blocked the mouths of all those who wanted to take advantage of the loopholes.

Who in the entire Tang Dynasty didn't know that Li Wenhao's East Palace Department only obeyed his own orders, and no one else could do it well.

"As for this refugee..."

"My lords, look, isn't it time for some blood?"

"The salaries and rewards of the adults are all recorded. According to the expenses of the adults over the years, it is very easy to calculate how much money you should have in your hands. Look, don't you..."

Li Wenhao rubbed his fingers with a smirk.

He said this to the children of Wang Gui and other aristocratic families. Isn't your family rich?

Is it time for some blood?

If it doesn't bleed, then check the source of your family's money.

Although this is ancient times, don't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients, especially the Baiqisi in the hands of Li Shimin, whose ability is no less than that of the Jinyiwei of later generations.

"As the head of civil servants, I will take the lead and donate [-] yuan."

Before Li Shimin agreed, Changsun Wuji stepped forward and directly donated [-] yuan, and immediately an eunuch took a pen and paper to record it.

"My old Cheng's family is poor, donate less, [-] yuan"

"I, Qin Qiong, also donated [-]."

"My Fang Xuanling..."

"I, Du Ruhui..."

Each of the officials of the former Prince Qin's Mansion donated a sum of money, which was a great deal of face. After these people donated, Li Wenhao turned his attention to others.

"Your Majesty, Wei Zheng's family is poor, so he can only donate [-] yuan."

Wei Zheng is also a bachelor, he is really poor, he is not pretending.

Even now, the place where he lives is nothing more than an old house, the area is not big, there are only four rooms in the front and back, it is really incomparable with those high-ranking and wealthy families who frequently enter and exit the compound.

"Master Wang, what about you?"

Li Wenhao smiled brightly. To be honest, there is no shortage of food in Chang'an City. There are at least 400,000 shi of food in Taicang, but this food was saved by Li Shimin between his teeth. Don't move, or don't move.

"I……"

"On behalf of the Taiyuan Wang family, I will donate 500,000 yuan."

Wang Gui gritted his teeth and said.

"Hurry up, remember, Lord Wang Gui donated 1 million."

???

A group of people looked at Li Wenhao in surprise, this is...

robbery?

Originally, they thought that Li Wenhao was a rogue enough to ask the ministers to donate money in the court.

Unexpectedly, they are still young.

This is a hooligan, okay? It was supposed to donate 500,000, but it turned out to be 1 million as soon as Li Wenhao said it.

"What are you doing in a daze, write it down, Wang Gui, donate 1 million."

"Really? Lord Wang."

Li Wenhao watched the eunuch write down the 1 million, then turned his head and smiled at Wang Gui.

"Yes, Wang Gui donated 1 million on behalf of the Taiyuan Wang family"

Wang Gui almost gritted his teeth and said this.

"Hehe! Mr. Wang, Gao Yi, I represent the people of the world, thank you."

"Everyone, don't you also donate 1 million each?"

Li Wenhao personally took a pen and paper, walked up to people from other aristocratic families, and asked with a smile.
