In this situation, besides the Minister of the Ministry of Finance who is in charge of finance, the Prime Minister Fang Xuanling knows this situation best.

Li Er was silent. He knew that Tang Dynasty was weak, but he didn't expect that even a natural disaster could not stop it?In the past two years, there was still a national war?That consumption is not small.

Thinking about it carefully, yes, the war of annihilating the country was only a few months of food and drink for 20 to 200 soldiers. How many people are there in Henan Province now?With a population of [-] million, all hungry, it is comparable to the ten wars that the Tang Dynasty fought to destroy the country.

"Hey, natural disasters, if you give me ten years, no, five years of good weather in the Tang Dynasty to recuperate, why should I be afraid of natural disasters?

That's all!Open the national treasury, and use [-]% of the food stored in Guannei Road and Jingzhao Mansion to go to emergency first, and find a way while doing disaster relief. "Li Er said a little helplessly.

Changsun Wuji persuaded: "Your Majesty, the national stockpile and the Jingzhao area are used to defend the capital, so I dare not use them easily, just in case"

"Auxiliary machine, if the people of the world lose the support of the people, Gyeonggi will not be Gyeonggi. First protect the people. Jingzhao Mansion and Guannei Road are right under our noses. I know if something will happen."

After hearing the words, everyone stopped persuading them. After all, the fire is imminent. Now it is only the beginning of the disaster. The people have been displaced, and there have been no casualties. However, the power of the Tang Dynasty is weak, and there is no new grain in the fields. , can't last long.

Just when everyone dispersed to discuss matters, the servant Lao Gao came to report anxiously that something had happened.

"An urgent report came from Henan Province that nearly [-] people gathered towards Luoyang. These people claimed that this year's drought was caused by the unjust case in Huichang Temple some time ago. Only by appeasing the old man's anger can the drought be resolved."

Li Er was so angry that he kicked over the table case in front of him, and cursed: "Nonsense, how can there be grievances in the case of Huichang Temple? The public trial will be opened for ten days, and the people applaud. Why didn't they call for grievances at that time, but now they have it." Drought only called?

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, have experienced few droughts?Killing one person to sacrifice to heaven can solve the disaster?

It's clear that someone is fueling the flames behind, wanting Du Shaoqing's life, go, send people from Baiqisi to investigate, who is so courageous? "

Lao Gao didn't move, and replied directly: "The scouts have found out that almost all of these [-] people believe in Buddhism, so it should be the work of Buddhism."

"really?"

"It's absolutely true, but the old slave has asked someone capable to find out in person, and there will be a reply in three days."

Li Er said with a gloomy face: "Good thing you are a Buddhist, since I founded my country, in order to keep the Tang Dynasty stable, I don't want to have any grudges with these detached sects and families, I didn't expect them to dare to jump out because they don't know good and bad?

One hundred thousand people?Just so instigated?

If I were fighting against other countries, like Yang Guang in the previous Sui Dynasty, they would take these 10 people and stab them in the back

Go, tell Yuchi Jingde to lead [-] soldiers, and anyone who disobeys orders and gathers a crowd to make trouble along the way will be killed without mercy!No need to play! "

This

Lao Gao knelt down directly: "Think twice, Your Majesty, these are absolutely unacceptable."

"Can't kill? A group of people? They dared to intimidate me as soon as they were instigated by the bald monk. Isn't this a traitor? Why can't they be killed?

To pass orders!Don't you forget your duty. "Li Er scolded angrily.

Lao Gao kowtowed and begged: "Your Majesty, if you kill these people, you will be playing into the enemy's hands.

We know that they are instigated rebels, but other people don’t know that there are 200 million people in Henan Province, if His Majesty kills these [-] people, it will definitely arouse the fear and resentment of the rest of the people, and I’m afraid at that time.”

Li Er took a deep breath, sat down on the chair with a pale face, raised his hand after a long time and said: "Get up, I have been taught, and in the future, if I make such impulsive mistakes again, Qing's admonition will be of no avail. crime."

Lao Gao was grateful. In this era, eunuchs have no human rights. They are not allowed to engage in political discussions, and are not allowed to have their own ideas. If they dare to participate in an argument, they will be punished.

He risked his life to remonstrate with the emperor this time. Fortunately, Li Er was a wise king, and he knew his confidant's loyalty, so he graciously granted such a privilege, which can be said to be an extremely honorable favor.

"Send someone to call Du Shaoqing into the palace, let him figure out the trouble he caused." Li Er ordered.

Du Shaoqing also learned about the severe drought in Henan Province, and he is convening an emergency meeting with the Du Family Chamber of Commerce. Although the matter in Henan Province has nothing to do with him, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. The Du Family Chamber of Commerce is almost worth half of the national treasury. It is necessary to contribute.

Hearing the emperor's summoning and ordering Wu Zhao to take care of the affairs, Du Shaoqing hurried over, but unexpectedly heard such bad news.

Chapter 446 The Grace and Resentment Are Clear (Two in One)

An angry Du Shaoqing cursed in front of his old father-in-law: "What a bunch of bald donkeys, I was thinking of getting the Du's Chamber of Commerce to sell pots and irons to support the disaster relief, but they are good enough to want my life directly?

And those [-] people, I, Du Shaoqing, have no grievances or enmity with them, to be hated by them for no reason?

Will killing me save the disaster?I'm afraid if you kill me, half of Henan Province will starve to death! "

Li Er stepped forward and gently persuaded: "Okay, you can just scold a group of restless monks. Since ancient times, the common people have been fools, let alone this time they were instigated by wicked people. Why do you care about them?"

Noticing Du Shaoqing's last words, Li Er asked vigilantly: "I am worrying about disaster relief, do you have any good ideas?"

"Before I came, I had already notified the Du Family Chamber of Commerce. I will do my best to provide disaster relief, and collect as much food as possible through various channels and send it there." Du Shaoqing said.

Li Er's face was full of disappointment: "Hey, I find it difficult with the power of the whole country, even if you overwhelm the entire Du Family Chamber of Commerce, it's just a drop in the bucket.

Forget it, the Du Family Chamber of Commerce is the cornerstone of the future prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. It has just been built, and it is not worth ruining. Let them stop. This time the court will solve it. "

Du Shaoqing was a little astonished, but then he laughed out loud. This old father-in-law is too easy to deceive, won't he settle accounts?No wonder he didn't know how to value business before.

"Father-in-law doesn't think that I can save the entire Henan Province by relying on the Du Family Chamber of Commerce, does he?

How can it be?I can't afford to support the entire Henan Province, and even the national treasury can't afford to support it, because no one has the ability to turn money into food in a blink of an eye. "

Li Erxuan said angrily: "I know that the Tang Dynasty is poor, so I want you to remind me?"

"We don't have it, but there are other places. Can't other state roads be mobilized there?" Du Shaoqing reminded.

"If there is food stored in other places for disaster relief, would I not think of it?

Forget it, go back, don't go out recently, tell Changle and Xuanxuan not to go out, this group of people is in chaos, some people really dare to kill you to vent their anger, other things, someone from the court will take care of it. "Li Er said impatiently.

Hissing, Du Shaoqing was also taken aback. He didn't care at first, but now why does he feel like his hairs are standing on end?

You are right, those are the victims who are about to starve to death, and they will do anything to survive. Although they are bewitched by Buddhism, this group of people never lacks loyal believers. If there are really those people Reluctantly ran over to assassinate him, if he came to pray for rain to relieve the drought, then he might die unjustly.

Du Shaoqing calmed down a lot after discussing it, and stopped making rounds, and directly pointed out: "A few months ago, Feng An, Duke Geng of Lingnan, and his party went back, and his second son Feng Zhidai married Wu Zhao's sister Wu Shun.

As a dowry, I asked Wu Shun to bring Feng An a piece of news. Now it seems that it is impartial and can be used. "

Li Er was puzzled, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

"I know that all the states and roads in Datang are short of food, but Datang is short of food, and other places are not necessarily short of food.

There is a vast land in the south of Lingnan, which was called Annan in the Han Dynasty. The population there is not large, but the land is extremely rich in grain, and rice can be harvested three times a year. The most important thing is that the local people do not know the value at all. Just sprinkle a piece of seed, don't have to work and wait for the harvest. "

What did you say? ? ?

Li Er looked excited and grabbed Du Shaoqing's arms.

"Before I told Geng Guogong Feng An, let him lead troops there, or establish a deal to buy a lot of grain, or lay down a place where we can produce grain by ourselves. In short, the purpose is to let him use the grain that can't be eaten there to be used by sea ships. Transport to the north." Du Shaoqing explained.

Kicking Du Shaoqing to the ground, Li Er scolded: "You bastard, such an important place, of course all must be taken down and owned by my Datang, what kind of deal? What deal?
