Wang Can still stayed at the house and rarely interfered with outside affairs.
Time passes and it’s December in the blink of an eye.
The weather at this time was getting colder and colder, and Wang Can was at home and unwilling to go out. However, although Wang Can said he couldn't go out, something came to his door.
On this day, Changsun Chong came to visit the house.
In the study.
Changsun Chong saluted and stood still, but did not speak first.
Wang Can said: "Changsun Chong, tell me, why did you come to see me at my house?"
Changsun Chong said: "Master Wang, the thing is like this. Now it is December, the weather is freezing, and many refugees have gathered in Chang'an. These refugees are all fleeing from various places and want to come to Chang'an to seek life.
"
"But it's freezing cold, so there are so many opportunities to do things. So now, these refugees are living outside Chang'an City, living a very miserable life."
"Even every day, someone dies."
"Originally, I didn't really care about these things, but this guy, as he has grown up, has become more pretentious and doesn't want to see these people die."
Changsun Chong said: "Master Wang, I can't handle this matter well by myself. Even if I have some money, it won't be enough to buy food."
"It doesn't solve the problem at all."
"This is a drop in the bucket."
"So, I can only ask the prince for help."
Changsun Chong said: "Young Master Wang is extremely smart and can definitely find a solution. So I hope that Young Master Wang can come forward and save thousands of poor people."
After Wang Can heard this, he laughed.
Originally, Chang Sun Chong was a typical playboy. He walked dogs and fought cocks every day, had fun everywhere, and even snatched women and bullied girls from good families. But now, Chang Sun Chong has changed from his past playboy appearance and has become more down-to-earth.
This is quite good.
Wang Can's mind was spinning and he suddenly said: "Chang Sun Chong, the easiest way to deal with the issue of the refugees is to find your father. He is an important minister in the court. He should come forward and report to the emperor. With the power of the court,
It is easy to resolve this matter."
"No, it's impossible."
Changsun Chong shook his head and said: "Master Wang, I have already asked my father. He said that this year's cold winter has affected all places, especially the cold winter in the north. The weather is cold and the ground is freezing, making it extremely difficult for the people."
"Even in various places, livestock have froze to death, so the imperial court has allocated food to provide disaster relief to various places. Even if the imperial court has some food, it is still not enough."
"The gaps in the imperial court are very large right now."
"So we can't take care of the people."
"These people living in Chang'an can only rely on themselves."
Changsun Chong said in a deep voice: "It is not easy for the court now. There is no spare power at all. So I can only come to the prince's house and beg him to come forward and help."
After Wang Can heard this, he shook his head in his heart.
After all, the foundation of Datang was insufficient.
After all, Li Shimin had only been on the throne for two years and was in trouble both internally and externally, so everything was not easy.
Even though Wang Can has helped Li Shimin a lot now, when it comes to food issues, even if it needs to be changed, it cannot be changed overnight and it will take a lot of time.
Wang Can said: "Changsun Chong, how do you need me to help you?"
Upon hearing Wang Can's words, Changsun Chong quickly said: "Master Wang, I am not involved in this matter, so you don't need to help me. My idea this time is to ask Master Wang to come forward and solve this matter. There are thousands of
The refugees gathered in Chang'an, and if they are not settled properly, there will definitely be countless deaths and injuries."
After Wang Can heard this, he thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll take over this matter."
"Thank you, Mr. Wang."
When Changsun Chong heard this, he immediately became excited and said: "With Prince Wang coming forward, the refugees gathered in Chang'an will be completely safe. At least they can survive this cold winter."
Now, he just wants to do something within his power.
I don’t want to be a dandy anymore.
Compared to the dude that everyone reviled behind his back, becoming a dude that everyone admires and respects is Changsun Chong's pursuit.
Changsun Chong changed his tone and continued: "Master Wang, how should we deal with these thousands of refugees? If this matter is not solved well, it will even cause harm."
Wang Can smiled and said: "Just listen to me on this matter. In short, the matter will be settled."
When the eldest grandson heard this, he stopped talking.
He believes in Wang Can.
With Wang Can's identity and Wang Can's strategy, this is not the only way to deceive him.
Wang Can thought for a while and then ordered the attendants in the house to bring out the map of Chang'an. Wang Can looked at the map of Chang'an and his eyes fell on an open space outside the north gate of Chang'an City.
Wang Can clearly remembers that in history, the Daming Palace was built near Longshouyuan outside Beicheng. It was the center of the Tang Empire in the future and was the most glorious place.
Wang Can had no plans to go to Longshouyuan, because the location of that place was too important.
The royal family also has arrangements.
Therefore, Wang Can's arrangement was to build a place for people to live near Longshouyuan. You must know that there are more than 10,000 people gathered in Chang'an, which is not a small number.
With such a huge number of people, the people in this area have been settled. Countless people have even lived here, so this is a business opportunity, because population means business opportunities.
Especially in Chang'an City, countless dignitaries gathered together.
Many people live in rented accommodation.
But life in Chang'an is not easy.
It is not that there is no land outside Chang'an City, but the problem is that ordinary people cannot obtain land at all. It is impossible to build houses at will.
Wang Can does not have this problem.
If he wants to build a residence, the emperor will definitely agree.
After all, Wang Can has a different identity.
Wang Can's hand fell on the area near Longshouyuan in the north of Chang'an City, and said: "Chang Sun Chong, you gather all the refugees outside Beicheng, and say that I will give them something to do so that they can earn a small amount of money.
At the same time, I will give them money and food so that they can survive this cold winter."
"really?"
Changsun Chong's face showed a look of joy.
This is not easy.
After all, there are so many people involved.
Wang Can said: "Of course it is true. After all, my restaurant has made countless profits. In these days, I have earned enough money. As for the food problem, in the past few days, the sweet potatoes and other coarse grains that were planted were all lost."
Now, if we let the people not go hungry, that's no problem. In short, you don't have to worry about this."
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Changsun Chong nodded hurriedly, with a look of joy on his face. Because in the current situation, with Wang Can coming forward, everything would be easier to handle. If Wang Can hadn't come forward, he really didn't know how to solve it.
After all, the imperial court cannot find the strength to resolve these matters.
It's not easy for the court either.
Changsun Chong said: "Master Wang, regarding money and food, I will call Fang Yiai, Du He and others together, and we will agree on a charter together, and we will provide some money and food to the refugees.
It is our duty to rescue these people and we are willing to do our little bit."
Wang Can said: "Okay, you can take care of it. You can take the lead in handling this matter. I will enter the palace now to find your Majesty. I have to capture this area of Beicheng so that I can do things more easily."
"yes!"
The grandson came and went in a hurry, turned around and left in a hurry.
After Changsun Chong left, Wang Can went to change his robes and went straight into the palace. When he came to the gate of the imperial city, he went straight into the palace and did not need to wait at all. The soldiers at the gate of the imperial city had already gone there first.
The palace reported it, so when Wang Can came to the entrance of the hall, Li Shimin had already arranged for a young eunuch to lead the way and led Wang Can into the hall.
"Caomin Wang Can, I have met His Majesty!"
After Wang Can stood still, he saluted in a neither humble nor overbearing manner.
He really has no respect for Li Shimin, and his tone is extremely flat. He speaks in a calm manner and as equals. Because for Wang Can, he does not ask for Li Shimin, but Li Shimin asks for him and gets him.
Help Li Shimin deal with things.
With a smile on his face, Li Shimin ordered: "Give me a seat!"
The little eunuch on the side immediately brought a stool and asked Wang Can to sit down.
After Wang Can thanked him, he got straight to the point: "Your Majesty, I came to the palace this time because I have important matters and I hope your Majesty will allow you to do so."
Li Shimin said: "Mr. Wang, please speak."
He also treated Wang Can with a respectful attitude and was extremely courteous and virtuous. Because in Li Shimin's eyes, Wang Can was an extremely mysterious person. Not only was he like a divine farmer who produced many crop seeds, but he was also like a creation created by heaven.
, and took out mysterious weapons like mortars.
If Wang Can was where he lived, assuming a mortar or even a more powerful cannon was aimed at the imperial city, it would be possible for Wang Can to bomb the imperial city as long as he was willing.
Therefore, Li Shimin was extremely respectful to Wang Can.
What's more, Li Shimin heard Yuan Tiangang's words that Wang Can was the lucky star of the Tang Dynasty. With Wang Can around, the fortune of the Tang Dynasty became even more prosperous, so Li Shimin wished that Wang Can could live a good life in Chang'an.
Wang Can said directly: "Your Majesty, I need to build a large area of residence outside the north city of Chang'an City, near the south of Longshouyuan, or it is equivalent to a small fortification, build houses, and build shops to facilitate the resettlement of the refugees living in Chang'an.
.”
After hearing this, Li Shimin put a smile on his face and nodded: "Mr. Wang has such a plan and such a big heart, which is naturally excellent. I fully support it. The current national situation is difficult, whether it is the storage of grain in the granary or the
Money from the national treasury is in short supply. It’s very difficult for me to support you! If you want to rebuild houses and build a city outside Beicheng, I’m afraid you can only rely on yourself, Mr. Wang. I can’t help you.
busy."
Li Shimin was also helpless.
He knew that people's lives were difficult, but the problem was that he had nothing to do.
