Datang: Angry at Li Er, he still begged me to come out of the mountain

Chapter 37 Uncle Du

Standing in the court hall, Chen Shoude turned his back to Li Er, looked at Wei Zheng, and then at the officials and censors around Wei Zheng, with a look of disdain and noncommittal.

"Wei Zheng, I haven't been in court for a month, are you going to make things difficult for me as soon as I come up?"

Wei Zheng quickly waved his hand, but he was still quite opposed, and persuaded: "Master Chen, you should think about this matter clearly."

"You care so much about me?" Chen Shoude started to spray at Wei Zheng directly, and then pointed at Wei Zheng and the group of censors, "Are you all coming in a line, or are you coming together?"

You look at me, I look at you, this group of people look at each other, Wei Zheng is no match, how dare they say anything more?
This decree was temporarily passed under the advice of Dasinong Chen Shoude.

Holding a jade board, Yan Liben came out and said, "Your Majesty, I have been visiting various prefectures and counties in Chang'an recently and found that floods are raging. Please order flood prevention and relief from your majesty."

"Your Majesty, as my brother said before, the heavy rain kept flooding the farmland and houses. The disaster is very serious. The people's homes are ruined, and I am afraid that they will not be able to cultivate for a while."

"My minister suggested that instead of working for relief, it is better to do a good job of flood control first. The flood should be avoided or blocked, and the people should be given rations as wages, so that the people can build more canals and drain all the accumulated water into the Qinghe River."

"Qinghe? Isn't that the fief of Princess Qinghe? If all the accumulated water is discharged into Qinghe, won't all Dexian's fief be flooded?" Li Er's face immediately fell down, because the people are suffering, I can, But it would be too much for my daughter to suffer.

"Your Majesty, no matter where the disaster is, Princess Qinghe's fief will never be flooded. The ministers have carefully measured that the Qinghe borders the Weishui River, and the Weishui River connects with the Yangtze River, which flows into the sea.

As long as the embankment on the edge of the Qinghe River is stabilized to prevent the embankment from breaking, the rainwater around Chang'an City can be solved, and [-]% of the farmland will definitely be restored. The [-]% gain does not seem to be much, but it can relieve the huge pressure on the court. . "

But the problem appeared again, that is, where does Li Er have money now, and where does he get the food?The censors who had broken up at Chen Shoude's side just now jumped up again, immediately causing trouble for Li Er.

The court hall is now bustling with excitement, like a vegetable market, Li Er's face is gloomy, his eyes are scarlet, and he tries very hard not to let himself lift the table.

After Jiang Yunqing and his wife had breakfast, they walked around the village, and then went to see the granary and the farmers.

This year's harvest must be hopeless.

Although Jiang Yunqing had already repaired the drainage canals, there was not much rain in Jiangjiazhuang, but the grain output was only two to three percent.

"Your Majesty Li Er, it's not easy."

Jiang Yunqing gave a helpless wry smile, "If there were some high-yield crops, it probably wouldn't be so miserable."

Hearing Jiang Yunqing's words, Li Huan'er's eyes immediately sparkled, "Mr. Lang, do you know where there is a high-yield grain?"

It is still the Tang Dynasty, and the high-yield crops of later generations, those sweet potatoes, potatoes, these things have not yet been handed down.

If you want to come from the Western Regions to the Tang Dynasty, it will either be rotten or germinate, and it will be useless anyway.

Merchants and merchants are all for money. How can things that don't make money be shipped back to the Central Plains?

"There are a lot of these things." Jiang Yunqing said helplessly in his tone: "In the south, this thing is called potatoes, also called potatoes, and sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes are all crops with constant production, and they can be used as staple food. It is easy to store, and it can solve the food ration problem of the common people on a large scale in the year of catastrophe.”

"This heavy rain will take half a year at most, or three months at least. After the rain stops, it will be winter soon. The emperor is not easy. It is not easy to be the emperor this year, and it is even more difficult for the people. ah."

The two of them were talking when suddenly a middle-aged man in his 40s was helped over.

"Uncle Du, why did you suddenly visit Jiangjiazhuang today?" Li Huan'er saw this man and immediately went to support him with a stick, and then said to Jiang Yunqing: "Husband, this is Uncle Du, who is also an old friend of my father's."

"This junior has met Uncle Du." Jiang Yunqing saluted with fists clasped.

Now this Uncle Du in Jiangjiazhuang, Shangmen, is Du Ruhui, the right servant of the Tang Dynasty.

This is a very powerful person, but it is a pity that he did not live long, and his life span was too short. Otherwise, his meritorious deeds would be enough to glorify the entire Zhenguan Dynasty. Of course, he himself was also very glorious in the Zhenguan Dynasty. After he passed away, Li Er I was so sad that I stopped court for three days for him.

Because of the suggestion in today's court meeting, the censor officials and Li Er were arguing, both sides were on the same level, and swords were on the verge of breaking out, and there was an old censor who was angry and wanted to hit the pillars of the hall. got pulled.

It was Chen Shoude who made peace, and the censors did not dispute the matter of money and food, so Yan Liben's proposal was passed.

After coming down to court, Du Ruhui immediately pulled Pei Ming and asked who came up with the "keep right" decree. Pei Ming was forced to do nothing but tell Du Ruhui honestly that Jiang Yunqing was behind it.

And he told him again and again that Jiang Yunqing didn't know that he was marrying a princess. He had already become the emperor's son-in-law and consort, and the emperor, the princess and the queen didn't plan to have a showdown with Jiang Yunqing for the time being. , so he must not slip up.

Du Ruhui came here this time to discuss with Jiang Yunqing whether there is any way to completely change the current poverty situation in the entire Tang Dynasty.

As the Minister of the Tang Dynasty, the right servant, and the Minister of the Ministry of War, Du Ruhui knew very well that the salaries of the officials of the Tang Dynasty were all saved by Fang Xuanling.

As soon as they entered the room, Li Huan'er poured tea for Du Ruhui.

The relationship between the monarch and his ministers in the Zhenguan Dynasty was particularly good. Li Er still has nothing to say about his life. He has never killed a hero. As long as you are honest, you can basically end well, especially for those who fought with him and engaged in Xuanwumen. Old folks, everything is preferential treatment.

We often sit together, eating meat and drinking like old friends, all from time to time.

Li Er is not yet His Majesty, and the Tang Dynasty has not yet been established. At that time, Li Huan'er made a move. Seeing how these uncles fought against his old father, he respected and knew these elders very much.

"Yun Qing, I've long heard that you have a bright mind. I came here just for one thing." After taking a sip of tea, Du Ruhui nodded with satisfaction. Fang Xuanling and Pei Ming really didn't lie. Jiang Yunqing's here The tea is indeed better than other teas.

"Uncle Du, what's wrong?"
