Chapter 2240: The work is not serious, but the ability to brag is increasing day by day (please subscribe)
Li Shimin was also annoyed by Cheng Sanlang's sneaky way of glancing at the important officials in the palace and then winking at him.
You little brat, I asked you to take over the job of Luoyang Ling, where you had a great time playing cards.
It’s fine if I don’t find fault with you. As soon as I heard about it, I rushed over here in a hurry, but you still have such an attitude.
"Okay, these are my confidants. There's nothing you can't hear. Just say what you say."
Seeing Li Shimin looking very lazy, Cheng Chubi couldn't help but become a little anxious. The father-in-law seemed to really not understand what was going on.
I can only bite the bullet and click on the topic clearly.
"Your Majesty, this matter involves Cui Shen and the abnormal population growth of Luoyang, the eastern capital of the Tang Dynasty."
"..." At this moment, there was a dead silence in the palace. The eyelids of several people twitched wildly, and a question emerged in their hearts.
Could it be that this demon moth, which had just arrived in Luoyang not long ago, could even detect such a thing?
After a long while, Chu Suiliang finally said, "I dare to ask Xiao Cheng Taibao, why is Luoyang's population growth so abnormal?"
"Is it possible that Luoyang's population growth must be in line with Xiao Cheng Taibao's wishes?"
After hearing this, Cheng Chubi didn't even look back, and said with a solemn expression.
"Your Majesty, I am very loyal to the Tang Dynasty. Heaven and earth can draw lessons from it, and the sun and moon can reflect it..."
"..." Everyone in the palace stared dumbfoundedly as Cheng Chubi spewed seven or eight idioms expressing loyalty from his mouth.
"Since I took over the Luoyang Order, I have not dared to slack off. I have been conducting detailed research and inspection of Luoyang's government affairs day and night, forgetting sleep and food, but..."
Cheng Chubi pointed back his hand without looking back. "This person is attacking loyal ministers of the imperial court in such a serious manner.
If he is not a traitor, then he is colluding with Cui Shen to bring trouble to the imperial court..."
"You, shut up!" Chu Suiliang immediately became furious. He wished that a carp would jump up and jump up, and then he would pounce on him with his bastard punches to let this kid Cheng Sanlang know what five steps of blood spattering are.
Unfortunately, due to lack of waist strength, he could only raise his fingers angrily and point at Cheng Sanlang's high and straight back.
"That's enough!" Li Shimin grinned, quickly controlled his emotions, raised his big palm and slapped it hard on the table.
"Shut up, you, you kid..."
He was not serious about his work, but his ability to brag was getting better day by day. If he hadn't specially sent Xiu Yi to keep an eye on him, he might have been deeply moved by his plausible words.
But now, Li Shimin really doesn't know what to say.
Maybe it would be the most correct choice to lift up my forty-two feet and kick this bastard boy who has been playing cards conscientiously these days out of the palace.
"You'd better tell me clearly what is the purpose of your coming here?"
"I can't tell you clearly, so be careful I deal with you."
Seeing this father-in-law with no martial ethics, he raised his finger and pointed at it angrily.
Cheng Chubi sighed helplessly and let it go, since he was not willing to kick out these important officials.
If you are not afraid, am I, Cheng, still afraid?
"Your Majesty, after my detailed inspections over the past few days, I can confirm that the problem of hidden households and runaway households under the rule of Luoyang is very serious."
"What?!" Li Shimin, who originally looked unhappy, couldn't help but change his expression when he heard this.
It was him who could not help but that the important ministers from the three provinces and six ministries also looked dumbfounded.
"Cheng Sanlang, don't talk nonsense. I asked you to take over the post of Luoyang Order. It has been three days and you haven't taken over the important task yet.
As a result, you suddenly stood up and told me that the problem of hiding and running away from home under Luoyang was very serious..."
"Your Majesty, I am definitely not talking nonsense. If your Majesty doesn't believe it, please compare it with these data tables, so that you can know that what I said is true."
"..."
#####
Li Shimin looked at Cheng Sanlang, who was confident and held his head high, and glanced at the important ministers in the palace.
At this time, Li Shimin couldn't help feeling a little annoyed, but he still nodded without changing his expression.
"Forget it, just bring it to me and show it to me..."
Cheng Chubi glanced aside. Li Ke, who liked to grab credit the most, turned green as he handed over the account books and papers that he had carried in his arms.
I secretly resented it in my heart. I never thought that what Brother Chu Bi wanted to do would actually involve such a major matter concerning the country's foundation.
It would be fine if this group of important ministers were gone, but among this group of important ministers, there are many who are very close to aristocratic families.
It would be fine if Brother Chu Bi was serious and talking nonsense here, but what if he really achieved results?
And if Luoyang's population growth is really a big problem, haha... Li Ke feels that Brother Chu Bi is truly worthy of being a member of the Cheng family who has had the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard.
Cheng Chubi placed the form on the floor while speaking.
"Your Majesty, please take a look. This is the population growth curve of Chang'an City. This is for Jinyang City. This is for Luoyang City. And this one is for Luzhou..."
"Because there is only so much data available to me, I will use the population growth of these large and medium-sized cities in Datang for comparison."
Cheng Chubi pointed his finger at the data graphs with curves and black, white and red rectangles marked with a reasonable expression.
Li Shimin sat there blankly, looking at the forms, feeling as if he had entered an absurd world.
Who is I, where is I? There are straight lines, curves, rectangles, and even Chinese characters on these tables, but why can’t I understand them when they are put together?
Seeing the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty looking like a semi-literate person sitting in the classroom and listening to literacy courses, a sense of accomplishment suddenly arose in Cheng Chubi's heart.
When I first saw these things, well, they were much better than the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and that was why I knew these data tables very well.
That's because some of my classmates were transferred to the Family Planning Bureau and had to deal with these data forms all day long, and everyone was considered to be in the health system.
Occasionally, I would express my opinions on the country's population policy. After all, big guys drink and eat meat together.
It is difficult for a topic like chatting about pretty young ladies to arouse long-term resonance and discussion. Instead, it is about current international political affairs;
Or when it comes to the long-term long-term planning of the country, every wine geek feels that he is the talented person guiding the country.
Ahem... Forget about gossiping, it's not that we don't have the ability, we just have a little bit of grumbling in private because we don't have the talent.
Cheng Chubi gained extremely rich and profound knowledge through repeated disputes and debates.
In this era, no one knows how to create data tables and calculate formulas for population growth models better than Cheng Sanlang. No one.
