Datang: Beat Tang Taizong violently at the beginning

Chapter 484 Luoyang has no food!

Luoyang City,
Luoyang's several imperial capitals, although they have gone through wars, still have vicissitudes and simplicity, and their majestic spirit remains undiminished. However, under such drought and locust plagues, Luoyang City also seems to have withered a lot.

After the convoy entered the city, the streets were empty, and there were few pedestrians, even if some pedestrians passed by occasionally.

They are all hungry and skinny. Compared with this group of hungry Luoyang officials, they are a little rich
Of course, in comparison, Li Mo, a group of visitors from Chang'an with ruddy complexions who are just a little tired, is even more strange. Compared with this group of hungry Luoyang people who are only skinny and bones left, they are simply out of place. !
Looking at the extremely desolate scene in Luoyang City, Li Merton couldn't help being angry for a while: "Liu Dongshan, why are there so few people in the city?"

Li Mo couldn't help being angry. At this moment, Luoyang City looked like a dead city, and it was almost empty.
Although Luoyang can't compare with Chang'an's population of one million, its resident population is at least 50. It is the largest city in the Central Plains and a well-known imperial capital, but now it is lifeless. The hundreds of thousands of people in Luoyang City where it goes?
"His Royal Highness, most of the people fled, or went to other places, or went to the countryside. In short, they are now staying in the city, with no food to eat, and can only die..."

Liu Dongshan said with an extremely ugly face, he is the governor of Luoyang, he is the parent officer of Luoyang, and the people of Luoyang are his children.

But now the people of Luoyang are dying and fleeing, and Luoyang is about to become an empty city, but he, the governor of Luoyang, and his parents and officials are completely helpless, and he is ashamed of the people of Luoyang!
Even Liu Dongshan has thought about it, even if he let His Royal Highness Yan beheaded just now, if he can use his head to stabilize the hearts of the people of Luoyang, it can be considered that he, the governor of Luoyang, has finally made some value!

"Since the people have no food, why don't the official warehouses open?"

Li Mo was furious immediately, the official storehouse was the place where the court stored grain, but the situation in Luoyang is so sluggish now, if the official storehouse is not open, Liu Dongshan, the governor of Luoyang, is a bit too pedantic and doesn't know how to adapt!
"His Royal Highness, there is not much food in the Luoyang official warehouse, only a small amount of reserves. Even if the official warehouse is opened, it will be useless to the people of Luoyang..."

Liu Dongshan responded silently, if there was grain in the official warehouse, he would have opened the warehouse to release the grain long ago. How can it be regarded that Luoyang has really become an empty city like this!
Li Mo was silent for a while. In fact, the situation in the early years of the Tang Dynasty was far less exaggerated than the rumors of later generations. The food left by the Sui Dynasty was enough to last for four or fifty years. There was none!
Among other things, any food can be preserved for four to fifty years without spoiling. Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, was a good emperor. The Sui Dynasty ruled the world in his hands.
But Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, was a prodigal, built the Grand Canal, and conquered Goguryeo three times. Don't these all cost money?

Not to mention that there will be a group of anti-kings in the world afterwards, and they will fight with each other endlessly. Could it be that the armies they have raised are all iron-clad and do not eat?

Even if the Sui Dynasty built many official warehouses and righteous warehouses, wouldn’t these anti-kings from various places set their sights on these official warehouses and righteous warehouses, and just watch them stand in place?
If the food left by the Sui Dynasty is really enough for the entire Tang Dynasty to last for 50 to [-] years, then Li Shimin's Zhenguan Year can basically be dealt with.
And the prestige of Li Shimin's Zhenguan rule must not be false. Could it be that in the 21 years of Li Shimin's Zhenguan rule, the Kyushu did not produce food, and the Tang Dynasty could not collect taxes!
If this is the case, how could the Sui Dynasty leave so much food, how could there be the Weishui alliance in the early Tang Dynasty, how could there be such a severe drought and locust plague in the early Tang Dynasty, and how could Li Shimin sit back and watch the people in the world be so displaced, if there is so much food Otherwise, Datang's army would have become invincible all over the world!

The Sui Dynasty was indeed very powerful, and Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, was indeed a generation of Mingjun, but no matter how powerful he was, it was impossible to accumulate it in a short period of ten years, enough for Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty to conquer Goguryeo three times, go to the south of the Yangtze River several times, and build the Grand Canal. It also saved food enough for millions of troops to feed for several years for the anti-kings from all walks of life in the world, and even so, it left the Tang Dynasty with food that could last for decades!

The survivors of Qin Guofen VI accumulated national strength for a hundred years before Qin Shihuang Yingzheng unified the six countries.
Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, recuperated, and then the rule of Wen and Jing in the two dynasties of Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing accumulated a hundred years of national power, so that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had the ability to drive the Huns to the north and create the glory of the prosperous age of the Han Dynasty!

Dare to ask what kind of person this Sui Wendi Yang Jian is, he is so awesome,
He has been in power for 23 years, and he has not accumulated any ancestors before that. How can he be able to create such a magnificent foundation? How can this ability to save money be described as an exaggeration?

This is like a landlord with a lot of money who has managed to accumulate a family business, which can be said to be second to none in the entire village. He doesn't know how many warehouses he has stored food for his family!
But after the landlord Laocai died, his son was proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, and his huge family property made him lose for more than ten years.

After more than ten years, this prodigal son finally died,
But the people in the same village couldn't see it, they broke into the landlord Lao Cai's house one after another, and ransacked the landlord Lao Cai's house again,
After that, there was a young man surnamed Li in the village who worked with other people in the village for several years.

And in the past few years, they have hardly worked or produced much, and what they eat is the old money left by the landlord's old fortune.
And this young man surnamed Li, after several years of cleaning up, finally put the rest of the village in order.

Then I went to the landlord Laocai's house and found that the food left by the landlord Laocai's house was enough for them to eat for decades. Don't you think this is a joke?
