After a quarter of an hour, the officials fell silent.

After Li Shimin processed the strategies he had obtained from Tang Sufan, he created a series of national policies that could be called a thesis, leaving the ministers speechless.

Fang and Du looked exaggerated and quickly pretended to be surprised: "The plan to govern the country is really a wonderful strategy!!"

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he quietly looked at the faces of the officials in the audience, and then looked at the expressions of the old officials in the court who didn't know how to adapt, and laughed wildly with great joy in his heart.

It feels so comfortable. I have never felt that going to court can be so enjoyable~~

Your Highness, countless people stared with wide eyes, thinking over and over in their minds the strategy Li Shimin just said. No matter how they think about it, it is a great plan for the country!

Unexpectedly, there is such a way to have both, oh no, all three.

This set of strategies can be called a great plan for governing the country. Is it possible that His Majesty’s rank is so high?

Even if there is no famine next year, once the five roads to the east of the river and the water conservancy projects leading to the Yellow River are successfully constructed, the court will have great confidence in dealing with floods, droughts and snow disasters in the future.

But...how did your Majesty know that there would be another drought and snow disaster next year?

It was a matter of great national importance. Wei Zheng didn't care about his old face that was 'red and swollen' after being beaten by Li Shimin. He stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I wonder where the news of next year's disaster will come from?"

When he looked up, he clearly saw Li Shimin's smile that he wanted to endure but couldn't help but couldn't help it, which made his old face twitch.

Li Shimin came back from the feeling of relief and said softly: "Xuan Cheng doesn't need to be surprised. I won't tell you the source of this news for now. We'll find out next year."

Wei Zheng thought about it and decided to forget it. It was probably the news from Qin Tian Jian.

Go back and think it over carefully before making any further decisions. It is a rare moment for Your Majesty to feel comfortable today...

Wei Zheng retreated, and Dai Zhou stood up again: "Your Majesty, although this plan can be used as a national policy to deal with disasters in the Tang Dynasty, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and the national treasury is tight. This food is a problem after all."

Li Shimin couldn't help but frown. Now that he saw Dai Zhou, he wanted to punch him.

Because the news reported by this piece of shit is almost the same every time, that is, the treasury is out of money~

Li Shimin glanced at Cheng Yaojin, and then said with a worried look on his face: "Since I have already mentioned this big plan of working-for-relief, I naturally know how important food is at the moment, but... alas..."

Take a breath and sigh with an unconcealable worry and overflowing sadness~

Cheng Yaojin glanced at the look Li Shimin gave him. Although he looked like a fool, in fact his heart slipped.

He stood up immediately, slapped his chest, and said in a buzzing voice.

"Your Majesty, although I, Old Cheng, am a rough man, these major plans for governing the country are really important. I am willing to donate my family's food! Contribute to flood control!"

"Also, among you, who has a surplus of food in his family, why don't you quickly use it to relieve the country's worries!?"

Then he turned around and acted like a stirrer. No matter what happened, he grabbed a civil servant with a fierce look and said in a loud voice: "Shilang Lu, don't you have quite a bit of food at home? Why don't you take it out quickly!"

Cheng Yaojin was born as a bandit, and his brute strength was neither light nor heavy. The arm that grabbed Shilang Lu was numb~

With a purple complexion, Minister Lu quickly patted Cheng Yaojin's bear paw and shouted: "Cheng Zhijie, let go!"

Qin Qiong on the side quickly grabbed Cheng Yaojin: "Zhijie, what are you doing? Let go quickly!"

Cheng Yaojin started to get confused, and they suddenly started to pull and get into a mess.

After arguing for a while, Li Shimin shouted angrily: "You know your integrity, but you still don't let go. How can you be above the court?"

Although Li Shimin pretended to be angry on his face, in his heart he was happy that Cheng Jiazi was so hard at work. This gag would be most effective if a fool like Cheng Yaojin did it~

The monarch and his ministers exchanged glances, and Cheng Yaojin pretended to be angry and let go.

Li Shimin shook his head: "I know it in my heart, but the food required for the work-for-relief project is not a small amount."

Cheng Yaojin said angrily: "Your Majesty, these people's corpses are eating nothing. They have food at home but don't take it out. It's really abominable!"

Immediately, all the ministers knew that Cheng Mang was probably in cahoots with His Majesty. Otherwise, based on Cheng Mang’s culture, how could they have heard the cultural term "vegetarian meal with corpses" from his mouth!

Lu Shilang saluted Li Shimin: "Your Majesty has found out that we all live on salary, and it is difficult for our family to have enough food~"

Li Shimin's brows darkened. These bitches really don't let go of hawks when they see rabbits!

Li Shimin slowly said: "I know that everyone loves you for your integrity, but at home, you will also build a fort to store food. After all, providing work for relief is related to the well-being of all people..."

"Let's see. This time, half donation and half loan will be considered as national merit. After the harvest next year, I will never default on repaying the principal and interest. If the person donates a lot of food, I can consider allowing his clan disciples to become officials in the court!"

After the words fell, the ministers were shocked. Your Majesty has made it clear that you can sell your official position and get a title for food!

However, why are you so serious about pretending to be poor? How did the emperor know that the clan would build a fort and store food?

However, the officials of the sects and clans also knew that since His Majesty knew that they had food, he probably had their attention completely.

But even so, His Majesty may still fail to grab it, so let’s stabilize it first.

Of course Li Shimin knew what these idiots were thinking. He raised his eyebrows and said, "The matter of collecting food this time will be the responsibility of Lu Guogong Cheng Zhijie!"

Countless people in His Highness breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. Is this old gangster paying for food? Isn’t that a food grab? ! ! !

Li Shimin showed a bewildered smile to Cheng Yaojin again: "Knowing the truth, I order you to be the general manager of food collection for the imperial envoy! You are fully responsible for the matter of collecting food. This matter is related to the well-being of all people, so you must take it seriously!"

"Also, this matter is all based on the 'volunteer' of the ministers. You must remember to know the rules! Don't be reckless!"

Cheng Yaojin looked at Li Shimin and grinned almost to the back of his ears. He was always disgusted by these dog officials in the past. Today it is finally the turn of the labor and management to sing a big song at your house!

Cheng Yaojin patted his chest and respectfully accepted the order: "I obey the order, your Majesty, don't worry, I will live up to your Majesty's trust!"

Immediately, Cheng Yaojin stood in the middle, turned around and showed a bewildered smile: "Ministers, I, old Cheng, am a rough man from Wagang. I am not very polite in my work. If I am reckless, I hope you will bear with me and bear with me." ...Wahahahaha~"

At the end, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help laughing.

The ministers were trembling. The bandits were now ordered to "come down the mountain". If they were given less money, wouldn't their mansions have to be demolished?

Lu Shilang glanced at the two civil servants, and the two civil servants stood up and said, "Your Majesty, there is no food in the world today. We also have very little food at home, so we can only do our best to provide a certain amount of food. ~"

Another minister said: "Yes, Your Majesty, although we hope to build a large-scale water conservancy project, we have more than enough ambition but not enough power!"

These two people are from the Fan Yang Lu family and the Boling Cui family.

In fact, the five surnames and the seven Wangzhong clans have the largest hoards of food, and most people in the court have surplus food at home. In the face of disasters and famines, all the ministers just understand it tacitly.

Unexpectedly, Li Shimin suddenly realized that they were fat and was ready to take action.

Cheng Yaojin jumped out quickly and looked at the two of them with a grin: "Wang Shizhong, Lu Xuanwei, if there is no food at home, then that's it. You ask me to go to your home's granary and take a look. If there is really no food, go to the pot." , I will serve as an official in the imperial court, and I believe everyone will help you."

The two of them shrank their necks and let the dog bandit enter the granary. How was that different from luring a wolf into the house?
