Chapter 36 Poor family, I will give you an artifact
"It was originally like this, but then we encountered a rare drought. During the harvest, there was no food. Now it is autumn, and it is even more pitiful."
It is reasonable for Li Shimin to associate Su Chen's words with the natural disaster a year ago.
Last year it was true that there was a severe drought in the north and floods in the south, and the fields suffered huge damage, but the figures reported by the official were far from as serious as Su Chen said.
only.
Li Shimin thought about it and realized that it might be good news for the court, not bad news.
He needed someone to investigate and find out what was going on.
But that's all for the future, and he needs to figure out how to deal with it.
Even if he becomes an emperor, he is helpless in the face of such a disaster.
"Please give me some advice." Li Shimin said.
Su Chen said: "This matter is very simple. A harvest is inevitable. All the Emperor has to do is accept the reality and have people prepare food and grass in advance and distribute it to the affected people, and then distribute some rice to stimulate their lives."
Li Shimin looked helpless: "My current country doesn't have much food at all, and when we were in summer, we spent all the remaining food on the war with the Turks. I don't have enough food at all."
Su Chen said: "The prince's rations are not enough, but many people have them."
He didn't say what the food in his hand was, but Li Shimin understood his thoughts instantly.
big family!
All the families in the Tang Dynasty were very wealthy, and the Li family was even more wealthy.
Many officials in the imperial court, even local officials, were supported by various families.
There is indeed something to eat in their hands.
Li Shimin said: "They do have some food in their hands, but I can't take it."
Since Li Shimin ascended the throne, he has been working hard to deal with the problems of the family, but by the seventh year of Zhenguan, he still had no solution.
Stealing other people's food and grass is tantamount to snatching food from a tiger's mouth. The probability of this happening is really very small.
Su Chen smiled and said: "Your Majesty, they have food in their hands. They can plunder or buy it, but they must also have some big forces who are willing to pay, pay, and then come to join them."
Li Shimin's eyes lit up, this was indeed a very good idea.
This made his heart clear.
He didn't want to take action against the major families before, but now he can settle accounts with them and see their attitude and limits.
Su Chen continued: "The emperor can also value scientific examinations. Only those who come from poor backgrounds can shake their foundations."
Concerned about exams?!
Li Shimin's eyes flashed, Su Chen's words spoke to his heart.
It was like a sunbeam that illuminated his dark mind and made him enlightened.
If you set up scientific research and support the poor, the rich people will definitely be exterminated!
This is a good idea!
Li Shimin also had a smile on his face. He thought of many ways to attack various aristocratic families, but he never mentioned any aristocratic families.
It’s a bit too cautious!
He was also in awe of Su Chen. He had been thinking about this problem for seven years, but Su Chen figured it out in an instant!
Li Shimin asked: "How did you know about such a good method?"
Su Chen said: "This is God's arrangement. Everything is signed in."
Li Shimin was overjoyed, which showed that he had been favored by God and favored by God.
When the eunuch on the side heard this, he was filled with admiration for Su Chen. Fortunately, this move was God's will. If this guy could think of this, it would be terrible!
With a few moves, he easily defeated the Sui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, which had been the hegemons for decades.
This is an almost demonic wisdom!
Li Shimin continued: "If more people really suffer, then even if they do have enough food, it is just a drop in the ocean. What can I do to make the situation change drastically?!"
Su Chen said: "I am helping you with your work." This is a win-win situation.
Waste people and money!
Li Shimin's eyes lit up and he jumped down from his seat.
He bowed to Su Chen and bowed.
The old eunuch was frightened by this scene, and when he was about to help him, Li Shimin pushed him away and solemnly gave him a military salute.
"Thank you for your majesty's advice. On behalf of everyone else, I would like to express my gratitude."
Su Chen said: "In addition, I want to give you something, which may make Datang a better place and help us survive this crisis."
Li Shimin was slightly startled, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, but there was also a trace of hope.
This is a gift from the Heavenly Master, so it must be unusual.
Su Chen gave an order, and Sun Simiao brought a plate over.
He opened it and found a rice plant inside.
Li Shimin was shocked. This was a kind of fairy rice brought by the queen from the empress, but this kind was plumper and the seeds on it were also very mature.
He was a little excited and asked: "What is this?"
Su Chen was speechless for a while. He just wanted the empress' people to steal those spiritual rice, and he didn't believe that Li Shimin would not know.
However.
The emperor would never call his wife a thief. Since he is a fool, Su Chen should just pretend that he can't do anything.
"This is a kind of fairy rice that contains a touch of spiritual energy. Eating it can enhance your physical fitness. The most important thing is that a piece of good land can grow more than 10,000 kilograms, and an ordinary piece of land can grow more than 8,000 kilograms.
, and a piece of low-grade land weighs more than five to six thousand kilograms."
laugh!
Li Shimin took a deep breath, how shocked he was.
Even though the Queen had said it before, hearing these words still made him surprised and happy.
Such magical things actually exist?!
Su Chen continued: "The most amazing thing is that 90% of this rice is harvested in one year, and it only takes less than half a month."
"Yeah?!"
Li Shimin was surprised and happy, and even his tone of voice was trembling.
"God bless the Tang Dynasty, God bless the Tang Dynasty. This artifact is my blessing to the Tang Dynasty."
Su Chen looked at him and took out all the treasures himself, and was flattered by the old eunuch.
Li Shimin was shocked. He never expected that Su Chen would give him this treasure.
This was also the reason why he came here, but he didn't say it because he was afraid of being rejected.
But Su Chen handed this treasure to him.
If he knew, he would definitely come!
Ninety percent a year, even second-class places have an output of more than 5,000 to 6,000 kilograms. Datang is about to become prosperous!
You know, in Datang, the annual output was only about two to three hundred kilograms.
Li Shimin said: "Your Majesty, on behalf of the people, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to you. Thank you very much, Your Majesty."
