The emperor's eastward tour was actually a huge disaster for the local area.
No matter which state capital it is, if hundreds of thousands of people come in overnight, it is a very fatal thing.
The capital of the Tang Dynasty is not rich in products. Just like ordinary people living within their means, they have to make careful calculations to survive. They can barely make ends meet in good weather all year round. Now, the family suddenly has twice as many people.
This is a look that would kill a housewife.
Of course, at the beginning of the emperor's eastward tour, he kept all the local taxes, money and grain that were to be paid to the local area to cover the expenses of the emperor's eastward tour when he passed through the local area.
It would have been better if the emperor was just passing through the local area, and the government only needed loess to pave the roads and sprinkle the streets with clear water. Unfortunately, the emperor stayed in Bianzhou for a full twenty-three days.
During these twenty-three days, not only did the local officials have to experience an officialdom shaking like an 80-magnitude earthquake, but the local wealthy people were also inexplicably caught up in various political struggles and died without a burial place. At this time, ask them again
It is really difficult to satisfy the emperor, nobles, ministers and the army.
Just for the expenses that the local government put in this time, within ten years, there will be no hope that there will be any savings in the treasury of the Bianzhou local government.
Not to mention that the local treasury was completely devoured by the emperor and a group of noble civil and military ministers. Even the chickens, pigs, sheep, and dogs in the people's homes were eaten up by this group of people.
The Tang Dynasty strictly prohibited the slaughter of farm cattle, otherwise they would even want to eat the cattle in people's homes.
Even so, driven by huge profits, many cows fell to death in the homes of people near Bianzhou City.
Therefore, the people and merchants in Bianzhou City are not short of money, but they are out of food.
It's not that there is no food. The Governor's Mansion of Bianzhou is a military state. As a military state, it naturally has a very large treasury. Unfortunately, the things in the military state treasury can only be used by the army. Without a war, it will not be opened easily.
, even if a large-scale famine occurs in Bianzhou, the Junzhou warehouse will not be opened. The more chaotic the place is and the more critical the situation, the more tightly guarded the Junzhou warehouse will be.
Li Si had grain in her hands. Since she keenly discovered that Luoyang City and Chang'an City were the cheapest places for grain in the Tang Dynasty, she sent an order back to Chang'an, and Luoyang mobilized all available forces to start transporting grain to the east.
It's funny to say that this grain originally came from Shandong and Hebei, and now it is transported to Shandong and Hebei by Li Si. God knows how the account is calculated. In short, everyone involved in transporting grain seems to be profitable.
As for who is the unlucky guy, Li Si generally doesn't think about it.
She doesn't think about it, but Yun Chu must consider it.
He felt that not all money in this world could be earned, and some money would be detrimental to the digestive tracts of his children and grandchildren.
Feeling aggrieved, Li Si looked up at Yun Chu and said, "Those rich people know clearly that we have food in hand, so why do they still buy food locally instead of buying it directly from us?"
Yun Chu glanced at Li Sid and said, "What do you think?"
Li Si said angrily: "They did it on purpose. They just wanted to buy all the local food. They would rather give the money to the local government than let us make money."
Yun Chu glanced at Yun Jin again, and Yun Jin said, "My child thought someone was targeting Sisi."
Yun Chu said expressionlessly: "Who is targeting Li Si?"
Yun Jin said unabashedly: "Queen."
"Why?"
"Because Li Si has too much food in his hands."
"Why doesn't the queen just take the grain from Li Si?"
Yun Jin said with a bitter face: "I just can't figure it out."
Yun Chu focused his attention on Wen Huan's face again, and Wen Huan whispered: "The queen has too much money. She lent her part to Li Si. She still needs to spend the other part. Her money will become
She bought all the supplies, and the money in Li Si's hands could only be loaned to the people of the cooperative and could not be used for other purposes."
Yun Chu hummed and continued to look at Di Guangsi.
Di Guangsi swallowed his saliva and said, "I think the emperor and the empress are testing us to see if we have a lot of food in our hands. Will we put the people of the country first, or will we pay more attention to personal interests?"
After listening to what the four children said, Yun Chu remained expressionless, but Wen Wen and Di Renjie beside him looked very excited and looked at Yun Chu with grateful expressions.
The two of them did not expect that the four children would actually have such an understanding. Although it was not entirely correct, after the four children pieced it together, they were able to restore the original appearance of the matter to a certain extent.
"Hand out!"
Yun Chu seemed very dissatisfied.
The four little ones looked at each other guiltily, closed their eyes, and stretched out their left hands timidly.
Yun Chu's iron-palm-like hand slapped the four children's hands one after another. After four sounds, the four children screamed together, especially Li Si's scream was the loudest.
So Yunchu slapped Li Si again.
"I'll let you go this time. In the future, if you still dare to divide what Yinggong said into four parts and use it for the school exam, you won't be able to get through so easily."
After Yun Chu finished his lesson, Wen Wen and Di Renjie, who suddenly realized what he was doing, looked at their son fiercely, wishing they could rush up and beat him up again.
Li Si, who was jumping in pain, screamed even louder, and while shouting, he walked outside the military tent. At the same time, Wen Huan and Di Guangsi, who were emboldened by their father's vicious eyes, also walked outside.
Only Yun Jin remained at the end with a strong look on her face, ready to risk her life for her three companions.
Yunchu and the others watched Li Si run away, Wen Huan run away, and Di Guangsi run away, and then their eyes fell on Yun Jin.
She smiled softly and said, "Why don't you run?"
Yun Jin lowered his head and said, "If I run away, none of the four of us will be able to escape. Father, I made a mistake. Please punish me."
Yun Chu was extremely angry and laughed back: "It seems that you are planning to fight alone?"
Yun Jin said: "The idea came from Sisi. If I didn't object, it's just wrong."
Di Renjie smiled and said: "Now that all three of them have run away and escaped punishment, don't you think it's unjust for you to bear four share of the blame?"
Yun Jin shook his head and said: "It's not unfair, I was wrong."
Wen Wen said with a smile: "If you scream like Li Si now, today's punishment will be over."
Yun Jin shook his head resolutely and said, "I won't scream. My uncle wants to lure the three of them back, so I won't scream."
After saying that, he covered his mouth with both hands, looking as if he was ready to die.
Di Renjie looked at the door of the military tent and said angrily: "If the three of them don't come back, this punishment will be truly inevitable."
As soon as he finished speaking, three pale little faces appeared at the entrance of the military tent.
Seeing these three little people tremblingly stretching out their red left hands, Wen Wenwen laughed loudly and said, "Uncle has made the decision, so today's punishment will be waived."
As soon as Li Si's eyes lit up, he quickly pulled Yun Jin and ran out. While running, he lectured Yun Jin: "You are stupid, why don't you run."
In the blink of an eye, the four little ones disappeared without a trace.
Di Renjie glanced at the military account with satisfaction and said, "It doesn't matter if things go wrong. Your character must not be flawed."
Yun Chu snorted coldly and said: "You are too underestimated the four of them. From the beginning to the end, they have been adapting to the situation, including Yun Jin's initiative to cut off the rear."
Wen Wen said in astonishment: "Does it mean that I have been plotted?"
Di Renjie thought about the process for a moment, patted his head and said, "The timing was too smooth."
Yun Chu glanced at Wen Wen and said to Di Renjie: "When your son participates in family fights in the future, you'd better keep an eye on him, otherwise, hey hey... don't say I didn't mean what I said."
Wen Wen thought about her big, rotten family and took a breath of cold air and said, "Forget it, it's better for Wen Huan to be self-reliant as you said. Although I don't like those people in the family, but if Wen Huan goes
I still can't bear the misfortune."
Di Renjie also smiled bitterly and said: "At a young age, I have mastered the skills that even adults have not mastered. I don't know whether it is a curse or a blessing."
Yun Chu said: "So, the next thing they have to do is to put down their status and start from the people."
Nodding softly, she said, "That's right. You should start learning how to protect yourself when you are young. After learning how to protect yourself, you can then learn how to be kind. This sequence is right."
Di Renjie said: "Are you punishing them because of the chief who was beaten badly?"
Yun Chu nodded and said: "The most outrageous thing is that the four of them still have inexhaustible minions. If Yun Jin really injured the li leader with a dagger at that time, it would be considered a moment of anger. I was not so angry.
, What really makes me angry is that when the three of them beat the chief, they didn't treat him as a human being at all."
He softly said, "Why do I feel so good?"
Yun Chu glared at Wen Wen and said, "You are a role model who was not educated well since you were a child. If you didn't have a group of friends like us later on, there's no way you would have turned into a truly evil person."
Di Renjie said worriedly: "Why do I think they may not be able to change it?"
Yun Chu said: "Yes, as long as they do good deeds over and over again and form the instincts of their bodies, they can restrain the beast instincts in their hearts.
The light rain in spring, the cool breeze in summer, the fruits in autumn, the snow in winter, and the smile on a person's face can soothe a person the most, just like a baby will cry when it is hungry and will cry when it is uncomfortable.
They cry because they were never hungry or uncomfortable when they were in their mother's womb. Therefore, after they are born, once they feel hungry or uncomfortable, their bodies will think that this is wrong, so they cry.
.
Now that these children have learned to cry, it's time to taste new feelings."
Wen Wen nodded and said: "You are right. The problem is that my daughter has reached enlightenment, right?"
Yun Chu shook his head and said: "Don't even think about it. These four children are already too many for me. Besides, there can't be only wolves in this world. There should be some cattle and sheep left. Otherwise, in a grassland full of wolves, there will be no wolves."
