Datang started from being a salted fish

Chapter 471 Li Shimin Visits

It snowed halfway last year, and the weather was not cold enough, which directly prevented the locust eggs in the soil from freezing to death. As a result, as soon as the weather warmed up, it flooded.

Nowadays, the locust plague is raging in all states and counties in the Tang Dynasty, causing all the food grown in the fields of the people to stop growing.

Although potatoes have been popularized before, but they haven't been popularized in such a short time!And even those potatoes that were planted in the ground were not yet ripe, and now they were done with by the locust plague. . .

Immediately, the entire Tang Dynasty fell into a famine and the ensuing famine.

Only a few prefectures and counties near Chang'an City are better. In these places, potatoes were popularized earlier and naturally grown earlier. They are basically ripe now. Even if the outer leaves are eaten, it doesn't matter. Anyway, the potatoes are not eaten. leaf.

This can be regarded as luck among misfortunes!
Of course, Li Shimin might not be able to sit still if he encountered such a situation in the past, so he has to quickly call a group of ministers to study the solution to the problem.

The locust plague is still secondary, the most important thing is how to solve the problem of people eating!After all, the crops in this field are completely useless, and the little food stored at home can't last long. In some places, the people basically don't even have any food stored!
This is no small matter. If one person doesn't handle it well, someone will definitely cause trouble: He can't even eat enough. The emperor is obviously not good at it, right? !Let’s just do the opposite, right? !

Although these kinds of things are often done by people with ulterior motives who are well-fed and warm, but in this case, the common people really eat this way!
Don't look at the miserable life as if anyone can bully you, but when you really can't eat, you can't control it so much: anyway, you will starve to death if you wait, maybe you will survive if you give it a try. Chances of surviving!
Rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry, let alone a living person?
At that time, they don't care who you are as the emperor, anyway, they only know that the current emperor can't eat enough to eat, that is, the emperor is not good, and the emperor is not good, of course he will be overthrown and replaced!

As for who it is, they don't care: anyway, I will support whoever wants me to eat, otherwise I will kill you directly!

Wasn't that how the Yang family's empire was lost back then?
Although there are aristocratic families secretly promoting it, the common people don't know about it?
They only know that you, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, made us unable to survive, so I'm sorry, you should step down!
After all, science and technology are underdeveloped these days. In the eyes of the common people, this plague of locusts is a natural disaster. The plague of locusts is a disaster that comes down from the sky to punish the immoral!

Does this immoral person need to say anything?It must be the one who is the emperor!
Who makes this world yours?If I don’t look for you, who can I look for?

Since your emperor is dead, naturally you have to change someone else. . .

Having said that, the reason why Li Shimin can still sit here leisurely, rubbing his brows and complaining, is in the final analysis because of the existence of Wang Yin.

No food?Easy to say!Wang Yina has countless potatoes, and when the time comes, he will send the potatoes to the entire Tang Dynasty and it will be over!
In the past, people rebelled because they saw no hope of living, but now why are they rebelling because of this potato devil!

After all, the price of rebellion is too high, no one can afford to fail!

Although it will take some time to deliver the potatoes, as long as the people are arranged in advance to run quickly and convey the news first.

After all, as long as the people's hearts are stabilized first, everything else will be easy to talk about.

Compared with the time spent waiting to transport potatoes and the cost of the rebellion, the people must have chosen to wait.

Besides, you can open a warehouse to release food for a temporary rescue!

If Li Shimin really didn't have much confidence in the past: he gave an order, but it's really uncertain what will happen next or whether it will be executed.

But now it's different!

Now the biggest enemy family in the court has completely quit and turned into a turtle, so there is no such thing as a government order that cannot be implemented.

and. . .

These aristocratic families have quite a lot of food reserves, and they must be happy to take some out to help the people.

Of course, even if they don't like Li Shimin, don't panic, at worst, invite Wang Yin to their house as a guest and it will be over. . .

Presumably Wang Yin would not refuse such a small favor!
And for Wang Yin, who is narrow-minded, he must be very happy to go around the dead house!

Li Shimin has absolute confidence in this!

At this moment, Li Shimin suddenly found that Wang Yin was simply too powerful!

At that time, the aristocratic family and the government will open warehouses to release grain to help the people tide over the difficulties. After the delivery of potatoes, they can plant a wave of potatoes. After two months, the harvest will be enough to last for more than a year.

It couldn't be more perfect!
Of course, the premise is that the problem of the locust plague must be solved first, otherwise it will be useless to plant more: when the time comes, the people will happily plant the locusts and the locusts will eat happily.

The common people will scold the street. . .

But this locust plague is a natural disaster and cannot be solved by human power? !
Um. . .If it is not a human being who can solve it, then let the non-human one go. . .

General House

"Ah!" Cheng Lingxue saw Li Shimin approaching and ran out of Wang Yin's embrace like a frightened little rabbit, stood up with a blushing face and respectfully saluted Li Shimin: "See... See Your Majesty. . . ”

After saluting, Cheng Lingxue lowered her head and gave Wang Yin a hard look!
She knew about Wang Yin's perverted hearing ability, and the current situation was clearly that Wang Yin had heard it at all but didn't tell her. Wasn't this a clear way to embarrass herself? !

on purpose!
Absolutely on purpose!

"Lingxue doesn't need to be polite." Li Shimin waved his hands awkwardly when he saw this.

Nima!
The two of you just hugged each other in the house in broad daylight?

The world is going down, the world is going down!

But at the same time, Li Shimin also had a hint of coolness: Made!At the beginning, you kid broke me several times, so that I almost couldn't get up!Now I finally have my revenge!this feeling. . .Tut tut. . .So cool! ! !

"Old Li, I didn't mean you!" Wang Yin glanced at Li Shimin angrily: "How many times have I told you to knock on the door first when you come in? Why do you have such a bad memory at a young age?!"

When Li Shimin entered the courtyard just now, Wang Yin did hear it, but he didn't care at all: In his opinion, did he and Cheng Lingxue, the little girl, do something shameful? Why did they cover it up? !
After all, in his opinion, it's normal and aboveboard for a boyfriend and a girlfriend to hug each other. People who hug each other on the main road before crossing don't think it's unusual, let alone it's just in their own home?
