Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: Three hundred and sixty-three encounters

The sun has hung high in the air, and the traffic is busy returning to the main streets of Luocang. The people are gradually increasing. Most of the people are working in Luocang this time. Yes, I don’t know how many times I wiped it with a yellow cotton cloth as a handkerchief on my shoulders.

Talking and laughing in twos and threes, from the gate guarded by the prison guard, after passing the routine inspection with the simple token in his hand, he entered the inner grain storage warehouse.

Judging from the top-of-the-top granary and the number of people who entered it, there is still a lot of grain left after returning to Luocang, although I don’t know what kind of grain is the remaining grain. Lord, but watching the guards look so tightly guarded and the busy scenes still makes people feel at ease.

The shop clerk took the special tea made by Tang Dynasty and was about to add condiments like green onion, **** and garlic. Li Sujie immediately stopped him, and the tea froth would not care. If you add those condiments, it will be true. To drink tea soup.

Since he started tasting tea with Li Hong, Li Sujie has been disgusted with the original tea soup, especially when Li Hong told him that the tea soup tasted almost like dishwashing water, Li Sujie had secretly tasted it. With my mouth closed, I feel that it tastes almost the same, so I am used to the real tea instead of drinking tea soup.

The buddy looked at the three of them strangely, and saw that they all insisted on leaving. He was full of contempt for the three of them. He was so stupid that he couldn't even drink tea.

Bai Chun is naturally the best candidate for tea pouring. Li Hong and Li Sujie looked at the people entering the inner warehouse and said lightly: “It seems that there is still a lot of food in it. After the famine last year, I thought there would be no How much food is there."

"These are two different things. They are dumping the old grain and selling it to the people, and then the new grain continues to be stored. As for some fine grain, can you see it? Those carriages came to pull Those fine grains are used as seeds."

"So are these seeds sold to the people or to the people for free?" Li Hong asked curiously.

Li Sujie has lived a very down-to-earth life in the fief over the years. Naturally, he knows more about these grassroots matters than Li Hong. He glared at Li Hong's words and said, "Naturally, I bought it with money. The best seeds are for the noble and wealthy. How can people afford them at home? The richer ones will choose some medium seeds at most, and the poor ones who can’t open the pot, choose the most inferior ones, and wait for the next autumn harvest. According to the tune of rent, including those owed to the officials, they will be returned."

"How is the harvest of inferior seeds?" Li Hong pulled out a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and looked at the two old men not far from their table, sitting there, adding green onions and **** to the tea with relish.

Li Sujie said silently in his heart: "Well... Basically, after paying off the seeds of the official family and paying the rent, the surplus food is enough for the family to eat until the end of the year. A family of five people. "

"Since the founding of Datang, the population of the people of the Tang Dynasty has been on the rise, and now it has recovered to the population of the peak of the Sui Dynasty. I am afraid that there are more than five people in this ordinary family, right?" Li Hong is a little weak. Since Datang is so wealthy, why don't some of the policies of the year have changed?

At that time, the emperor quantified it because the population was small, and because of the continuous wars, it is not bad for each household to have five people. In addition, in the early days of the founding of the country, many people went up and down, and the government could count the number of people. Naturally, there are fewer, so according to the system at that time, the policy given today is a policy that is beneficial to the country and the people.

But now it’s different. The population base is rising steadily. Every household is increasing in population, and the soldiers are not included in the calculation. Now, these foods are naturally not enough for the people to fill in the disaster year. Belly up.

"Well, it is true, but the first emperor was so determined at the beginning, who would dare to veto the first emperor's decision?" Li Sujie looked at Li Hong and asked meaningfully.

"Don't look at me..."

"The three sons are invited. The old man did not intend to do it, but the distance is too close. The old man has been listening to the three conversations just now. Obviously he is dissatisfied with the food decision?" He came over, pointed to the distance between the two tables, and said with a smile.

Li Hong looked at a black robe, moustache and beard. He was not very tall, but he looked very elegant and wise, standing next to Li Hong.

"I don't dare to be dissatisfied. Why, does the old gentleman think that the decision left by the emperor now seems out of date?" Li Hong looked at the middle-aged man in his forties, who was about 50 years old, and motioned to him to sit down and talk. .

"Then thank you son, how about talking with my friend?" In Datang, I started to claim that there are many old men in my thirties.

Li Hong smiled and nodded in agreement, and the middle-aged man called another middle-aged man of the same age, with an official demeanor, and the five people sat at the same table.

The two looked at Li Hong's tea, and then at their own tea, but they looked at each other in a bit of amazement, and did not speak.

"Dare to ask where the son is from? I don't want to be a scholar of Luoyang, right?" The middle-aged man who spoke at the beginning asked.

"Now Li Bai, this is my brother Li Su, this one is in Xia Hongyan, a person from Jingzhao." Li Hong said with his eyes open. He also believed that with the savage eyes of these two people, I am afraid that he would recognize it at a glance. Chu Baichun, this fairy is a woman disguised as a man.

The reaction of the two was the same. After listening to Li Hong's words, they nodded and introduced themselves: "In the next session of Commoner Sima Lin, this is Mr. Lou, a good friend who has been here for many years."

"I have seen two gentlemen." Li Hong said with a smile.

Sima Lin, then it should be a family. In this era, the importance of the concept of aristocratic power is self-evident. Even in a declining family, as a descendant of the descendants, he will talk about it as a kind of respect for ancestors. .

In the Northern Wei Dynasty, in addition to Simayang, the Sima family had served as the general of the Eastern Expedition, but in the later stages it gradually declined and faded out of the court. By the time of the pre-Sui and Tang dynasties, there was no such thing as a big figure who could be on the stage.

And the one next to him who was slightly thin and was called Mr. Lou would probably be Yin Lou Shide of Henan Province. After Li Hong appeared here, he could unexpectedly meet him. Li Hong didn’t know it was true. The coincidence is still a fake coincidence.

"I wonder if the two gentlemen are here to buy food?" Li Hong blinked his eyes and asked curiously.

"Haha... I didn’t buy food here. The government’s granary only sells food in the city. Who is going to buy the food in the wilderness? What if I get hijacked on the road? The son is extraordinary, graceful and luxurious. I don't know what is going on here in Luocang, which is about to be abandoned by the court?" Sima Lin asked casually.

"As I said just now, the gentleman in the Chongwenguan gave me the task. Now, how much the inferior grain seeds cost and how much they can produce in a year, is it enough for the people to fill their stomachs? The purpose of my waiting here." Li Hong glanced at Lou Shide who had not spoken.

After Li Hong finished speaking, Sima Lin also glanced at Lou Shide nonchalantly: "During the famine last year, it is said that the Chongwen Pavilion of the current Crown Prince relieved the people’s worries. Then what emergency mechanism will benefit users at a critical moment? The granary under the jurisdiction of the Ministry provides free food for the people. Are you planning for this year’s spring planting?"

"I can't talk about it, but just come and see..."

"This Huhu has always had a good relationship with Chongwenguan, but there is no granary under the control of Huhu and Sinong Temple in Luocang. Didn't you know before the three sons came here?" Lou Shide suddenly interrupted Li Asked Hiroshi.

"I don’t know, but even if the granaries of the Ministry of Households and Sinong Temple are no longer in Luocang, who will supervise the remaining grain? It won’t be Henan Province, right? Henan Province’s famine and Gyeonggi Province last year Taoism doesn’t seem to be too much in comparison, right? Today’s busy traffic, isn’t it just about preparing food for the people?" Li Hong looked at Lou Shide with a serious face, but the official prestige was not small. Nongsi's ~IndoMTL.com~ is obviously overwhelming.

"Young Master Li said well! Well said! Haha, Brother Lou, how is it? Now it seems that I am not alone in petitioning for the people. The three young sons are also concerned about the country and the people and the world, and also hope This time, you can quickly distribute the food in Luocang to the people. The people of the famine last year depended on the food from the Ministry of Households and Sinong Temple to survive. Now the granaries of the Household Department and Sinong Temple in Luocang are empty. Isn't it just waiting for you, Henan Mansion to deliver grain, can't the imperial court deliver grain from Hanjiacang?" Sima Lin was happy physically and mentally after hearing Li Hong's words.

He came here today with Lou Shide, he was grinding Lou Shide over to take a look. He didn't believe Lou Shide said that Huiluo Cang had no surplus food. As for the shortage of food for the people in Henan Province , Can only wait for the court to make a decision.

So, he brought Lou Shide over today, just wanting to see is believable, hoping to persuade Lou Shide to distribute grain in the name of Henan Prefecture instead of waiting for the court to issue a document.

Obviously, so much grain is stored in the granary, is it really necessary to wait for the mold and not let the people release it? Although I'm just a piece of cloth, it doesn't mean I can't have the sentiment of worrying about the country and the people, right?

Lou Shide glanced at the happy Sima Lin expressionlessly, then glanced at the three of Li Hong, and hummed: "Although I am going to abandon it in Luocang, I didn't say it is now. Nowadays, returning to Luocang is the top priority in Henan. What if the grain is released again this year, and then catches up with the natural disasters? Isn’t it necessary to release grain? Where does the Henan province come from so much grain for free?"

"If you don’t let it go this year, the people are starving to death, and the corpses are everywhere. Who do you let your food go to? What do you let the people rent to you? Is it true that you really want to guard the food and the people eat the trees? Skin, leaves, belly?" Bai Chun's small face became cold, and Sima Lin's smile had just condensed on his face, he said bluntly.
