In Chang'an City, Li Shimin Yuelao's responsibilities were finally offline.
However, just after it went offline, the weather has been smooth in the south of the Yangtze River, but in many places in the north of the Yangtze River, it has basically not seen a drop of rain since the autumn harvest last year.
Under such circumstances, food production was worrying, and many localities submitted letters, hoping that the imperial court could allocate part of the food and grass to deal with the refugees arising from the reduction in food production.
Li Shimin hates that.
"How do you really catch yourself up?"
This is the first year of Zhenguan. Yes, during the Chinese New Year, Li Shimin also changed the ten years of Wude to the first year of Zhenguan when he was granting marriages.
Originally, after the changes were completed, the era that became one's own should be one with good weather and good harvests, but what about now?
As soon as the Yuan was changed, some people began to write letters that grain production in the North might be reduced. Some even wrote letters requesting for the allocation of grain and grass to prepare for possible disaster victims at any time.
This left Li Shimin with no place to put his face.
In the East Palace, Li Chengqian couldn't help but change his face after seeing that Li Shimin had processed so many memorials and needed food and grass.
"How could it be so? Is it true that after the lack of water in winter, as Master said, there will still be very little rain in the coming spring, and there will be no harvest and starving people everywhere?
No, this must not happen. No wonder Master spared no effort to prepare food and grass for me, but the 300,000 stone of food is still too little.
I just don’t know if my father will leave a part of it in the treasury. If my father wants to use it, he can’t use it first. Use the 300,000 stone of food and grass first. "
Li Chengqian just thought this, and quickly took some questions from the memorial he had recorded, came to Li Shimin's office, and asked Li Shimin.
"Father."
After passing the communication, Li Chengqian saw Li Shimin and called out softly. Li Shimin was rubbing his forehead because he was already exhausted from dealing with government affairs.
When Li Shimin heard this familiar voice, he looked up and saw that it was Li Chengqian, and said with a smile, "Why are you here, my father?"
At this time, although Li Shimin has many children, the only one he can get along with as his father is Li Chengqian. Even his precious princess is nothing more than a tool to maintain interests between him and the powerful family in his hands. If you want to get married, you still think of yourself as an emperor.
But the most ruthless emperor had a lot of expectations and feelings for Li Chengqian.
Li Shimin didn't care whether Li Chengqian was happy or unhappy, or if he had something urgent to do, he asked him to sit next to him, watch the memorial with him, and use his own experience to teach Li Chengqian.
This time, Li Chengqian did not follow Li Shimin's wishes and sat obediently beside him to study and revise the memorial with Li Shimin. Instead, he started talking here.
"Father, I have seen reports on many fields that the grain production may be reduced or there may be no harvest, and we need to allocate grain and grass."
Li Shimin nodded when he heard Li Chengqian's anxious inquiry.
"Yeah, I didn't expect that this year would be so difficult and there would be so many places waiting for us to allocate food relief."
Li Chengqian couldn't help but say something when he saw Li Shimin's embarrassed look here.
"Father, is it possible that there is not much food in the granary?"
Li Shimin shook his head, "There is still enough food in the granary.
There is also food left by the previous dynasty, so there is no problem in providing emergency relief to possible disaster victims.
It's just that I don't believe that such a tragic situation will happen. "
When Li Shimin said this, Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief.
"Since there is sufficient food, why don't my father transport this food in advance to counties where serious disasters may occur to prepare for emergencies? If a situation does arise, there may be casualties that should not occur during the transportation of food and grass. "
When Li Chengqian said this, Li Shimin nodded.
"Gan'er has really grown up. He has taken all these things into consideration and is prepared to be a father.
It's just that no special officials have been arranged to check the specific situation in these counties.
Some officials like to follow the trend, if such a situation really occurs.
I will spare no effort to rescue him, but I am afraid that they will lie and report the situation.
If you just don't take a look, the state treasury allocated for food and grass will be empty. If something changes, there will be no way to deal with it.
The food that cannot be divided should be collected and used to provide relief to areas with real problems. "
After Li Shimin said this, Li Chengqian suddenly realized.
"My father is wise and should indeed send someone to inspect it. How about my son going? He has also been on the farm for a while and is familiar with the growth of these crops. If he brings some like-minded people with him, he will definitely be able to control the situation. These things were checked properly.”
When Li Chengqian said this, Li Shimin's eyes couldn't help but light up.
"This is a hard job."
Li Chengqian smiled without hesitation.
"It is a blessing for a son to serve his father."
In the end, it was decided that Li Chengqian would lead a group of people to inspect the world to see if the Jiangbei area had no water for about half a year as mentioned in the memorial, and the grain production was reduced or there was no harvest.
If such a situation really occurs, there is no need to say anything, just withdraw the food and grass from the treasury.
Li Shimin was very curious when he saw Li Chengqian, who was confident when he went on inspection.
"Do you have any good suggestions, Qian'er? Why are you so happy to see you?"
Li Chengxian said to Li Shimin with a smile.
"Father, have you forgotten Master Li Ying and Li? My Master Li brought me a lot of grain and grass from Qiongzhou to the farm." Li Shimin laughed when he heard this.
"It's not like I don't know about your little food and grass. You have hundreds of thousands of dan now, but it's just a drop in the bucket. If something really happens, it won't be enough for several states. You have to rely on father to help you."
But Li Chengqian was a little unhappy when he heard this.
"But Father, I can escort a batch of grain and grass to the surrounding counties first, and give it to them if we encounter it. Even if we don't encounter this kind of situation, it will be regarded as our consumption along the way. What do you think?"
Li Shimin nodded.
"That's not bad. Your Highness has a small treasury so you don't have to rely on your father for everything. This is a good way."
The citizens here were laughing here, but just after laughing a few times, they suddenly remembered that there was another memorial sent by Li Ying, which seemed to have been suppressed because of the marriage of his child.
This time, Li Shimin was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
The things Li Ying sent must be very important. How could I forget this?
Just after Li Chengqian left, Li Shimin finally found Li Ying's memorial. When he opened it, he saw that there were millions of stones of grain, and his eyes shone.
As for the things he did in Annan, he didn't care at all.
"There is so much food, good! Great! Let him transport it to Chang'an City immediately.
After Gan'er went out to inspect the food distribution in Chang'an, with the supply of this batch of food, there would be no major changes in Chang'an City.
Even if something really happens, you can still respond quickly. Li Ying, Li Ying, you are truly my humerus minister. "
When Li Shimin was thinking like this, he felt that his previous suspicion and distrust of him had completely disappeared, and instead he felt deeply guilty.
"How great would it be if you were really a prince or a prince?"
But after this thought came to his mind, Li Shimin shook his head.
"But I also want to thank you. Thank you for teaching such a good prince. I am very satisfied. I hope you can make new contributions to the Tang Dynasty."
Li Shimin happily issued a decree for Li Ying, asking him to sail the naval battleship into Chang'an City from the route he selected as he wanted, and also let him see if he could pass such a huge battleship on the Weishui River. .
At that time, the north and south could communicate with each other, and the transportation of grain and grass was more convenient. This was the foundation for him to become an emperor through the ages.
This is just a good way to block those who complain about themselves, saying that God does not look favorably on them after they take the throne and brings many disasters to them.
Look how wise and powerful I am, with such a navy, I can transport so much food and grass at one time.
While Li Shimin was imagining here, early summer had quietly appeared, and along some dry rivers and lakes, locusts had poked their heads out one after another.
