Eight hundred and thirtieth chapters clear grievances
The great affairs of the country lie in offering sacrifices to the people.
The people are the foundation of the country.
The people's foundation is food.
The rulers of the past dynasties emphasized agriculture and suppressed commerce, and encouraged farming. The fundamental reason was to increase food production and increase food stocks.
Whenever there is chaos in the world, countless people die. Among them, in addition to those who died in battle, many people die because of starvation due to lack of food, or because of disasters caused by lack of food.
However, productivity has not improved, and the amount of food has increased only to a limited extent.
In today's Tang Dynasty, except for the Jiangnan area where the land is rich, the people in other places can only barely be self-sufficient in the food they produce.
Zhang Xuansu's impeachment memorial goes straight to the crux of the problem, that is, people today still don't have enough to eat. If a large amount of grain is used to produce feed for pigs, horses, and cattle, according to the consumption rate of the pig feed processing factory of the pig tycoon today,
, it will take less than half a year to consume all the food in the Gyeonggi area. When there is a shortage of food after the beginning of spring next year, countless people will be unable to eat food, which will lead to a lot of disasters.
Li Er actually finished reading it quickly.
He put down the memorial, and it took him a while to recover from the shock.
"My lords, I don't think what Zhang Qing's family said is alarmist. This matter is related to the foundation of the people, and more importantly, the foundation of the country. To announce that Du He has entered the palace, I will issue an order in front of him to kill this pig tycoon pig from now on."
The feed processing plant is closed!" Li Er said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
The ministers praised him.
Zhang Xuansu looked proud.
Du He, you are dead this time!
Shaking the foundation of the country is not a child's play. Even if you have made a lot of achievements, there will be no room for you to turn around in this matter.
The people in the palace quickly left Chang'an and rushed to Hu County to bring the oral instructions.
Du He rushed to Chang'an without stopping and soon entered the palace and came to Tai Chi Hall.
Du He entered the Tai Chi Hall and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I will be punished by death!"
Li Er snorted: "Du He, do you still know that you are guilty?"
Du He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it is important for a person to be self-aware. I have always been stupid, but I am self-aware. I am not kind to others. I actually accepted a bastard disciple like Fang Yiai, and I did not discipline him strictly. I did not educate him well. Is that so?
This is my dereliction of duty. However, I have always had a clear distinction between grudges and grievances. Let him alone bear the responsibility for Fang Yiai's mistakes. I suggest that he be killed to sacrifice to heaven!"
Everyone: "..."
Fang Xuanling rolled up his sleeves and wanted to hit someone.
Du He had actually made a calculation on the way here. If he had to kill someone to anger the people, he would just kill his beloved.
A dead Taoist friend should not die a poor Taoist!
Li Er has a black line on his head.
"Du He, why do you think I'm looking for you?" Li Er asked speechlessly.
Du He asked back: "Isn't it the case that the naughty disciple Fang Yiai harmed Chang'an?"
Everyone almost fainted.
Turns out it was the wrong person?
No wonder it sounds so weird.
It is quite unlucky for Fang Yiai to have such a teacher!
Snapped.
Li Er threw down the impeachment memorial on the table and landed it in front of Du He. His majestic voice sounded: "Take a good look at it!"
Du He picked it up, glanced at it for a few times, and suddenly became anxious: "Your Majesty, what kind of memorial was written by a bitch? How dare you slander the character of the minister with such a yellow mouth and white teeth? It is simply inhumane, pig."
Not as good as a dog…”
Zhang Xuansu jumped out: "Du He, who are you calling a pig or a dog?"
Du He turned around, looked at Zhang Xuansu, and suddenly smiled: "Hello, Mr. Zhang, you have lived in my Pig Tycoon pig feed processing factory for more than half a month and eaten more than a hundred kilograms of pig feed. Do you still have the money?"
I didn’t give it to you, give me the money!”
Does Zhang Xuansu eat pig feed?
Everyone was stunned.
Li Er was also very curious and said: "Zhang Qing's family, although I have never seen pig feed, but from the name, they feed pigs. Why do you want to eat pig feed?"
Zhang Xuansu said with a red face: "Your Majesty, you don't know something. I sacrificed my life to eat pig feed just to find out the reality of Pig Tycoon's pig feed processing factory. What if I didn't personally taste the pig feed regardless of my personal safety?"
It can be found that the production of pig feed consumes so much food. If I had not discovered it in time, this disaster would have been unstoppable by next year."
Zhang Xuansu complained endlessly in his heart.
Your Majesty, the point is that Pig Tycoon’s pig feed processing factory consumes too much food, and it’s not me who eats pig feed.
Li Er nodded: "What the Zhang Qing family said makes sense. Du He, are there any mistakes or omissions in what the Zhang Qing family said in the memorial?"
Du He shook his head, "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhang has eaten pig feed. His writing skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and his brain has improved a lot. There is indeed nothing wrong with this memorial. If there is an error, it is Mr. Zhang's information.
It's not very accurate. In fact, today's Pig Tycoon pig feed processing factory not only produces pig feed, but also horse feed, donkey feed, chicken feed, etc., with a wide range of varieties and complete varieties. As long as it is eaten by livestock, it costs a lot of money.
Naturally, there is more and more food!"
Snapped.
Li Eryi slapped his palm on the table and said angrily: "Do you still know that this feed consumes food?"
Du He was stunned, stared at Li Er, and asked: "Ah, Your Majesty, what's wrong with this? The food in Pig Tycoon Pig Feed Processing Factory is all bought from various places by Dream Group at high prices. There is absolutely no forced buying or selling.
, and there is no deceit or deception. If Your Majesty does not believe it, you can send people to various places to inquire. My Dream Group has been in this grain business since I started, and I have always been honest and honest in collecting grain."
"That's enough," Li Er interrupted Du He rudely, "Do you know that what our Tang Dynasty lacks most is food?"
"What?"
Du He was stunned: "Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty is short of food. Is this what Mr. Zhang said? It's simply alarmist talk and nonsense. Your Majesty is the emperor of the ages, comparable to Yao and Shun. The people of the Tang Dynasty live and work in peace and contentment.
The Tang Dynasty was extremely rich due to diligent farming. Every harvest time, the warehouses would be full of grain, so how could there be a shortage of food?"
Everyone looked at Du He angrily.
This guy is really standing and talking without pain in his back!
Dai Zhou, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, your words are wrong. The Tang Dynasty is very short of food. Although there have been no wars in the past ten years, the population has increased, and food production has increased. However, according to last year's
Not to mention other things, in the Guanzhong area, after the people turned in the grain, they could barely get enough to eat. Now, your pig tycoon pig feed processing factory consumes thousands of kilograms of grain every day, and some small counties in Gyeonggi Province
, the grain stored in the granary is only ten thousand catties, and the grain stored in the entire county is only a hundred thousand catties. If this continues, you will empty out the grain stored in the Gyeonggi area. What will the people eat after spring next year? You can't
, let the pigs eat grain, and the people eat wild vegetables, right?"
"Yes, feeding pigs with grain is a waste of grain!"
"Mr. Huyi, stop it!"
"It's not too late to pull back from the brink!"
"Your Majesty, please decree that Li Ke shut down the pig tycoon factory? It must be shut down!"
