Datang: Beat Tang Taizong violently at the beginning

Chapter 491 Drink Rice Soup!
When the topic turned to Three Ways of Disaster Relief, everyone in the side hall fell silent for a moment.
Everyone knew that King Yan invited them to come here for the purpose of disaster relief, but they didn't expect that Li Mo would be so straight to the point!
His Royal Highness the King of Yan really doesn't know the sufferings of the people, he really thinks that their food is blown by the strong wind.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Mo turned his eyes to Qian Youwei who was standing aside,
Li Mo was also a little bit astonished looking at this sly-eyed guy. He couldn't imagine that this was the number one landlord in Luoyang!
"Patriarch Qian thinks what this king said is true?"

Li Mo asked lightly, but there was an undeniable color in his voice!
Qian Youwei's heart suddenly thumped. Hearing His Royal Highness King Yan's questioning him so forcefully, Qian Youwei secretly groaned in his heart, but at the moment he could only say with a smile: "What His Royal Highness Yan Wang said is naturally very reasonable, but I wait for a small family, a small business, a drop in the bucket, and at present, I can barely make ends meet for the people of my Qian family village, as for the others, Qian is really powerless!"

When Qian Youwei said this, the others immediately cried out!
"His Royal Highness, what Patriarch Qian said is indeed true. The drought and locust plague have had a great impact. I have millions of hectares of fertile land in Luoyang, but there is no harvest. Everyone is tightening their belts to live now. There is really no need food!"

"Yes, Your Highness, I'm still praying that the imperial court will give me some food for the disaster relief, otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this winter!"

In the side hall, everyone spoke one after another, crying and crying, as if they were in danger now!
Li Mo was furious in his heart. He didn't expect these guys in Luoyang City to be so stingy. It seems that whether it is the three Luoyang masters or other landlords and wealthy merchants, the reason why they were invited to come here is probably not only because of him. With Wang Limo's face, I'm afraid there is even the meaning of uniting to show him off!
If it is said that these people have no food and cannot survive this winter, Li Mo would not believe it,
These big landlords in ancient times had a very good habit, that is, they liked to hide things, whether it was gold, silver and jewelry, or grain and cloth, anyway, as long as they were edible, usable and valuable, they would save them all regardless of the cost. come down!

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to say that they have no food in their hands. There are as many of these people as there are money and promises. They have [-] acres of fertile land, and some have thousands of acres of fertile land. How can it be said that they have no food in their hands!

"It seems that everyone is having a hard time!"

Li Mo smiled and said, he had already estimated the reaction of the crowd. To make this group of people bleed would be tantamount to cutting their flesh with a knife. How could these fat-brained guys agree so easily!
"Your Highness really misunderstood that I waited. It's not that I didn't want to help His Highness King Yan. It's just that my ability is limited, and it's useless and useless..."

Song Shouyi said with a wry smile, seeing that everyone was about to cry poorly again, Li Mo directly interrupted everyone!

"Since that's the case, let's talk about it later. Since the king invited everyone to come to the banquet today, let's talk about it after the meal, so as not to ask in the future and say that the king's hospitality is not good!"

Although the tone of Li Mo's words was light, there was a sense of murderous intent, as if he wanted to give everyone their last meal!

But at this moment, no one dared to respond easily. Before the king of Yan came here, they had already passed each other's breath.
In this area of ​​Luoyang, whoever has food is now the boss, and no one else can come.

What's more, under such circumstances, there are countless people who sell their children, daughters, land and houses just to find a way to survive. If they don't take advantage of it at this time, wouldn't it be in vain to benefit others!
"Let's serve!"

Li Mo clapped his hands and said to Hu Sandao, after Hu Sandao got the order, he immediately went down to make arrangements, and after a while, a maid came forward to serve the dishes!
It's just that it was beyond everyone's expectation that these maids only showed up once, and no maids came any more. At this moment, there was only a small bowl on the table in front of everyone!
Seeing that there was only a small bowl in front of them, these landlords and local tyrants in Luoyang City were stunned for a moment!

By the way, His Highness King Yan is too stingy, even if they don't plan to support His Highness Yan this time,
But Li Mo, the king of Yan, is also the prince of the Tang Dynasty after all. You are a big man wearing a boa robe. Do you just invite people to drink a bowl of porridge for dinner?

That's right, what those maids brought up wasn't delicacies from mountains and seas at all, nor were they ordinary dishes, it was just a bowl of serious rice porridge.

Moreover, this rice porridge with clear soup and little water, after settling on the table for a while, can almost be used as a mirror. It is not rice porridge, but rice soup at most!

"During this difficult period, extravagance and waste are not allowed, so there is only one porridge for today's banquet!"

Looking at the embarrassing faces of these landlords and local tyrants, Li Mo suddenly laughed, he didn't plan to pay any money, and wanted the king to treat you to a free meal, as far as he wanted!
……

"You are welcome, please!"

But Li Mo didn't have the slightest bit of embarrassment about it. He picked up this bowl of clear rice soup and brought it to his mouth. Li Mo drank it all in one gulp. He didn't drink porridge at all, he just drank water!

"This...in that case, thank you His Highness King Yan for giving me the porridge!"

Song Shouyi was silent for a moment, and then also brought the bowl of rice soup. King Yan's move was indeed beyond their expectation. Although they didn't owe this meal, King Yan only sent them away with a bowl of rice soup. It's a bit too much!
But at this moment, some people have already made up their minds that they will never help this time with the Three Ways of King Yan!
Led by Song Shouyi, these local tyrants and landlords in Luoyang City immediately raised their necks,

Tons of tons!
After three or two bites, I drank up the bowl of rice soup in front of me!
