Chapter 110: The Two Saints surrendered and covered their ears and stole the bell

After dinner, the heat still did not dissolve, and the surroundings were like clusters of fire burning.

In spring, I thought the prince's status was good. At this time, Li Wei didn't think so anymore. You can add a few clothes to the cold, but what should I do if I have a hot one? At this time, I miss the days of air conditioning. Even if it doesn't, it's good to have an electric fan.

Of course, there are still fans. Bier held a big fan in her hand and kept fanning him. Seeing this loyal little loli sweating profusely, would he bear it? If it were people in other palaces, he felt embarrassed. His thoughts had not been reversed for a while. Even the fan was still a breeze of fire.

After wiping the sweat with a wet towel, Bier said, "Your Highness, take a shower."

Li Wei was so scared that the matter had to be resolved immediately. He called Bier and Shangguan Wan'er to their eyes, asked them to sit down, and said, "The wheat must wait until the ears are yellow before harvesting, right?"

"Yes," two loli, one big and one small, nodded.

"What if the ears of wheat are still half green and half yellow?"

"The production will be reduced." Shangguan Wan'er answered.

"Not only does the yield be reduced, the wheat may be weak." Bier also did farming when she was a child, and her answer was more standard.

"What would happen if the wheat ears were cut when they were green?"

"No one would do this." Shangguan Wan'er said.

"You guys think about it, what if someone did this?"

“No harvest.”

"That's right, Bi'er, you're the half-green and half-yellow wheat ears. Wan'er, you can't even be called the green wheat ears. If you accompany you now..." Speaking of this, Li Wei put his words back. Wan'er was too young and couldn't say it in front of him, and changed his words: "You think this is for the sake of the good of loneliness and make the little one happy. In fact, it's wrong, it's not good for your body. Your body is no longer good, will you be happy if you don't see it when you are unhappy? So are you for the sake of loneliness?"

"Wan'er is a little younger, but I am not young anymore. There are so many people outside who get married and have children when they are as old as me."

Alas, in this tragic era, Li Wei sighed in his heart and said, "That's because they didn't realize it. One day, everyone will realize that this is the wrong way."

"But, but..."

"No, has anyone ever thought that bamboo would make paper? Believe in orphans. I'll ask you one more thing, do you want to be happy with orphans?"

"Think," both of them nodded at the same time.

"I want to be happy, so don't mention this matter in the future. When you can sleep with me, I will let you sleep with me. No matter what happens in the future, I will not abandon you, I will not abandon you. Not only you, I may not let you sleep with me after my wedding with the Crown Princess." After saying that, Li Wei felt very proud and finally explained this question clearly.

Bier thought to herself, Prince, this time the Crown Princess is not the little lady of the Yang family, it may be the little lady of the Pei family, one year younger than my servant. Many people in Luoyang know about this, and the Eastern Palace knows a lot. Bier has just heard of it, but she doesn’t know whether she should notify the prince. What if it is fake?

Bier still likes Yang Min as the Crown Princess in her heart. Although she was not very good before, she still can treat the Crown Prince now. Besides, she is beautiful and familiar with her, so she doesn't seem to be despised of herself.

The daughter of the Pei family had only met in Zhongnan Mountain. She was very strong and ran so far away but didn't say a word. The only impression was that. The most terrible thing was the threshold of the Pei family. Although there were no Pei family in the five surnames and seven families, the Pei family in Hedong and the Xiao family in Lanling were also a giant, which made her a commoner, afraid. The Yang Min family is also a good family, and it is strictly said that Yang Jian also comes from this clan and is far from comparable to Pei in Hedong.

A little inferior.

This is also a fact. Faced with these famous families, even the emperor himself, he did not raise his head. So he climbed to the Li family in Longxi with a mission.

"Bier, what are you thinking?"

"I didn't think of anything."

Did you have any worries? But Li Wei did not ask. He opened two little loli, and when he was bathing, he was about to ask the palace people to fetch water. The eunuch came and said that it was the emperor and the queen who summoned him.

"Hong'er, sit down." Li Zhi said.

"Here," Li Wei sat down and looked at him. In addition to his father, there were Hao Chujun and Yan Liben, and even his mother walked out of the curtain and sat on the side.

The eunuch standing beside Li Zhichong said, "Take all the memorials here and watch them for His Royal Highness."

"Here!" The eunuch brought memorials one by one, many of them. I couldn't finish reading it at this time, but my father's orders were no different from the imperial edict, so I had to open it and read it. There are all aspects, such as officials who resigned, criminals and crimes that were extremely serious and wanted to be executed in the autumn, and water conservancy and harvests in various places. In fact, the memorials were far more than these. Most of them were annotated in the three provinces and six ministries, and they were handed to the palace only if the matter was serious or if it was difficult. There were even Dai Zhide, the Xijing, and others who did not make a decision, would not make a decision and would also use a fast horse to deliver it to Luoyang.

But most of them are about drought. For example, Qinzhou reported that since the Cold Food Festival, there have been only four rains, and each time they fell and rested, "thousands of miles of scorched earth, thousands of miles of barrenness." Anyway, they did not dare to ask for political achievements at this time. Some officials did not hesitate to exaggerate the disaster in order to ask the court for more supplies. Then they reported that they mobilized food from Bashu, but Shu Road was difficult and could not transport much food. They also hoped that the court would distribute some of the food transferred from Jianghuai to the people of Qinzhou, all of which were the people of the emperor.

Even some prefectures and counties in Hedong Road and Henan Road are complaining. Looking at these memorials, it is shocking without looking at the actual situation.

Didn’t he really let him finish reading it, and after seeing Li Wei read many books, Li Zhi asked, “Honger, what did you see?”

Li Wei replied honestly: "The child only saw that the drought has not eased, but it has become more serious."

"Yes," Li Zhi sighed.

The bamboo paper made him fight for justice with his wife and suppressed some of the public grievances, but this drought cannot be ignored. If this continues, not only will the people live in Guanzhong and some prefectures and counties in Hedong and Henan Province be difficult to survive, but the autumn harvest is delayed again, and the autumn harvest is abandoned. Until next summer reception comes, the people have no food to eat. Let me ask, if this crisis is not solved, can that person be hungry until next summer harvest?

Li Wei remained silent. Although he was very pitiful to the common people, he had any solutions. Last time he had an idea, but this father was so reprimanded that he couldn't even raise his head. Now he dared not talk too much.

Li Zhi said again: "Hong'er, the idea you came up with last time..."

"That's what the son said randomly." Li Wei said quickly. As Di Renjie expected, in the face of the drought that could not be resolved for a long time, his parents had to surrender to the idea they had come up with. It may not be a good thing. Seeing Di Renjie did not, he knew that countless people would live, but his attitude was stiff and he was not catching a cold.

Wu Zetian said on the side: "Honger, your idea is not the way to govern the country."

"Yes, mother, son is wrong."

"You hear me finish my words. Although it is not a way to govern the country, the situation is urgent. If a large amount of grain enters Guanzhong, the price of grain will fall in response to the sound and countless people will live. On the contrary, Guanzhong may not only starve for thousands of miles, but also increase the food. After so long, the country's food is insufficient, and the entire country's food price will be raised by merchants."

"Mother, this is just a temporary pain. Once the drought is relieved, the situation will improve. But if the idea of ​​the son minister is adopted, the people will have any misunderstandings. The whole country does not focus on agriculture and neglect commerce, but rather on commerce and neglect agriculture. It can affect the country's foundation for the future," Li Wei moved Di Renjie's words out in its original local area.

Wu Zetian frowned and said to Hao Chujun: "Hao Gong, please say it."

"Yes," Hao Chujun responded, and then said to Li Wei: "Your Highness's words are reasonable. However, this year's drought is very serious. Some mountainous areas even have to eat water. I discussed with Gun Yan in the Secretariat for most of the day. Finally, I thought that although Your Highness's method was not appropriate last time, if things were urgent, I had to follow the power. It is worth it to slow down the disaster and countless living people. The court will spare no effort to have three or four viscounts or barons. However, Your Majesty cannot issue a clear edict to announce to the merchants all over the world, otherwise it will shock the court and the public and be accused of history. Is there any way to make these merchants believe that this is the case and automatically flock the food into Guanzhong. Then use the attitude of the Zhao Prize to reward. This is the way to solve the problem."

After saying that, Hao Chujun looked at Li Wei with earnest eyes.

If he couldn't beat the queen, he would do the job immediately. The disaster would not be relieved for a day. Although he was not ashamed of the merchants, he had no other way, so he had to discuss with Yan Liben again and then go to the palace to report. The huge drought made Li Zhi and Wu Zetian lower their heads, and also forced the straightforward minister to lower his head.

At first glance, it sounds like a stealing bell, and the nature is indeed two different things. But Li Wei said without thinking: "Hao Xianggong, this is impossible. He does not issue an edict. Although the merchants are treacherous and act for profit, their status is low. Who can the court tell me about it? Since merchants like to act for profit, they cannot see the substantial benefits, and they will not believe that they will let go?"

"So call you to come and see if you can come up with evil ideas," Li Zhi said.

What a evil idea? Well, I'd better not say anything. Li Wei closed his mouth.

Wu Zetian pulled Li Zhi's elbow and said to Li Wei: "Honger, you are kind-hearted. Every day you drag it, some people will die. The longer you drag it, the more people will die. Think about it again, see if there is any way?"

Even if there is one, it cannot be said. If you can't do it well in the future, you will be criticized by yourself. Suddenly, you have an idea and said, "The mother and the child have a plan, but it requires the father, the mother and the two husbands to come forward together."

Let's go into the water together.

"Cough, cough," Li Zhi choked and wanted to come forward by himself. If he didn't follow a clear edict, he would be able to save trouble.

Wu Zetian pulled his dragon robe again and asked, "What's the method?"

"My mother, you can invite a monk to imply that he will come to the White Horse Temple for a good meeting like Master Kuiji. Then, using the tone of reward, he asked the merchants who donated money to the Dacien Temple to come to Dongdu and hold a banquet in the palace. Just so happened that the White Horse Temple to be a good party. The merchants in the two capitals, at least the merchants with good intentions, gathered together with Dongdu. At the banquet, he instructed a person to pretend to be casual and let out this whim. The father and mother and the two husbands neither deny nor admit it. But after all, the father and mother and the two husbands were all present, and these merchants understood it. Or if someone advised him, you did not admit to expressing this matter, and you could not start to advise."

It is similar to Hao Chujun's statement, but it is just a clever cover and not so direct.

It's indeed a wrong idea.
