Chapter 22 Weighing
Li Lizhi looked at Li Shimin worriedly and asked, "Father, are you feeling unwell? My daughter calls you an imperial physician."
Looking at Li Lizhi's well-behavedness, Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "I'm fine."
"Then my daughter will surrender first." Li Lizhi looked at Li Shimin's expression with some concern.
After Li Lizhi left, Li Shimin punched the table, and was so shocked that the little eunuch beside him knelt down with a thud.
What's wrong with Your Majesty?
Who is not very eye-catching and provoking His Majesty?
A group of palace maids and eunuchs shivered in the face of Li Shimin's anger.
Li Shimin gritted his teeth, but unexpectedly, I was smart all my life, and in the end I was put on a trick by Li Zheng, the young boy.
Li Shimin was so angry that he waved his sleeves and wrote another decree, if this kid hadn't reminded Chang'an that there would be another trouble.
The decree allocated several hundred acres of land to Li Zheng,
But it's still a wasteland...
Don’t this kid likes land reclamation? Let him cultivate it happily.
The purpose is to write that he took the initiative to build a river embankment and made contributions to reclaiming land.
After writing the order, Li Shimin left Ganlu Hall and went all the way to Lizheng Hall.
On the second day, at the Tai Chi Palace.
Li Shimin sat upright on the throne and listened to the reports of officials from various departments.
This time the heavy rain was handled quite promptly, and some officials were lazy in their work, which caused the river water to flow back into the fields, and there were still losses.
Even though the orders were issued in advance, some officials were negligent and negligent.
Li Shimin immediately said: "Any counties and counties that have negligence and negligence, all those who are under the jurisdiction of the disaster will be dismissed from office and will be registered and filed. They will never be hired!"
This time, someone underestimated the heavy rain. Many places were neglected at the beginning. When the river water was really backflowing and it was too late to repair the river embankment.
The loss could have been minimized, but there were always a few people who were dragging their backs.
"Your Majesty." Wei Zheng stepped forward and said: "The flood was handled well in all counties, and all counties who followed the will made sufficient preparations in advance."
It was rare to hear Wei Zheng's pertinent words, and Li Shimin nodded slightly.
Wei Zheng continued: "But some people in the court still have a place to eat. The Bashang area is the fief of the Changsun family of Duke Zhao, and three thousand acres of fertile land were flooded."
Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji on the side.
Changsun Wuji walked forward with a dark face and had to bow and say, "Your Majesty, I can't help but blame me."
"Yes, I've taken this seriously for a long time, how could this happen?" Cheng Yaojin muttered.
The muttering was not very loud, but it was a little harsh in the quiet Tai Chi Palace.
Everyone looked at Cheng Yaojin.
"What are you watching me, Old Cheng?" Cheng Yaojin stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, our Cheng family took action immediately after receiving His Majesty's order. So far, no acre of land has been affected."
"Yes." Li Shimin nodded.
How much food will be lost for three thousand acres of fertile land?
Duke Zhao had the largest fief and the best position, because Li Shimin would be a little biased about Empress Changsun and some things about the Changsun family.
Changsun Wuji's sister is the current queen, and she is also a relative of the country, and she can see that it is better to the Changsun family.
But now Changsun Wuji is really uncomfortable when he sees such a good job of doing human affairs.
The grain of three thousand acres is not a small amount.
"Is it still time to replant it now?" Du Ruhui asked.
Cheng Yaojin sighed and said, "Don't mention it. You, Lao Du, didn't go to the Bashui River to check it out. The water was so big that it couldn't stop it. All three thousand acres of land were turned into river ponds, and the mud was soaked, so you could almost catch fish."
Li Shimin looked at Secretary Lang Cen Wenben and asked, "Is this really the case in Bashang?"
Cen Wenben bowed and replied: "This water cannot be planted if it does not retreat. Even if the water retreats, the mud in the ground will be soaked into mud, and the stones and sand upstream are mixed in the mud."
"The water cannot be planted without replanting. Even if the water recedes, it must be replanted. All the fields affected by floods must be replanted. It may take more than a month to replant it."
Hearing Cen Wenben's words, the court became quiet.
It will take more than a month to plant food and it will take a lot of manpower and material resources.
Cen Wenben continued: "The fields have become wetlands. Even if they are rushing to replant and replanting the soil, they will not have a good harvest even if they are planted."
Food is the most important thing for the people, and the people all rely on God for the whole year of food.
"The God is unhappy, and there is no harvest." Cheng Yaojin sighed again.
Knowing that Cheng Yaojin and Wei Zheng were not in the process, they just quarreled.
But Changsun Wuji is different. Many people in the court have long seen him feel uncomfortable, and the generals standing on Cheng Yaojin's side are also very alert to Changsun Wuji.
Recently, Changsun Wuji has been making suggestions to His Majesty to remanage the military system, which has made many generals guard against it.
Realizing the eyes around, Cheng Yaojin was unhappy, "Why are you looking at me, Old Cheng again? My Old Cheng family has no extra grain for Duke Zhao, and my family doesn't have enough food."
Li Shimin retreated with a dark face and called Changsun Wuji alone.
During the scattered dynasty, conversations between Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji came from the palace.
It is said that Changsun Wuji apologized several times, and Li Shimin fined him five years of salary, thinking about his three months.
During the Zhenguan period, the relationship between the monarch and the minister was very good.
Cheng Yaojin and other generals were discussing that Changsun Wuji was wrong, but this guy acted like he took the initiative to apologize.
It was like he apologized for the county magistrate under his rule. It was because the county magistrate was unable to govern, and it had nothing to do with his Changsun Wuji.
When the incident happened, Changsun Wuji stood up and gave him an image of taking the initiative to apologize.
"This old fox is still very good at Taoism." Cheng Yaojin sighed.
Niu Jinda and a group of generals were speechless.
Changsun Wuji is not good at fighting, and Sun Wuji is not as good as Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui when dealing with political affairs. He is afraid that Chang'an is the whole of Chang'an, which is not the opponent of Changsun Wuji.
However, this time, Cheng Yaojin felt much more relieved when he could embarrass Changsun Wuji.
The rain had just stopped, and Cheng Chumo came to Jingyang and found Li Zheng.
Li Zheng was very happy to see the money Cheng Chumo brought, which was hundreds of stagnant.
"Brother Cheng made extraordinary efforts and earned so much in just a few days." Li Zheng quickly collected the money.
Cheng Chumo said with some regret: "It is the boys in Chang'an who see me now feel like they see a ghost when they see me, and they run away when they see me."
"Thank you for your hard work." Li Zheng patted Cheng Chumo's shoulder.
Cheng Chumo sighed and said, "It's really hard, I have to chase them and fight."
Maybe in Chang'an, the only one who can chase others and force others to buy medicine is Cheng Yaojin's son.
Judging from his body, his body is full of tendons and flesh, his father is a hero of the founding country of the Tang Dynasty, and most people really can't afford to offend him.
Even if you can afford it, you have to consider whether Cheng Yaojin, the demon king of the world, will come to the door with an axe.
