After all, after sitting on the Diaoyutai for many years, the patriarchs of the aristocratic family quickly regained their calm except for the initial panic.

They knew that although the emperor found a lot of food from Li Jian, he had no source of income after all.

Once it is found that the food cannot be supported, and the problem is still not resolved, the trouble will definitely come back.

The fact is indeed the case, in less than three days, people have already started playing, and because the emperor publicly distributed food, more and more victims of the disaster have gathered in Chang'an.

The existing food cannot withstand such consumption at all, and it will take more than half a month at most before it will return to the original situation again.

Li Shimin received many memorials, the content of which was roughly the same, and the threat was not concealed.

He had expected this to happen a long time ago, and he didn't care at all, as if he hadn't seen those memorials at all.

After discovering that this trick didn't seem to work, the members of the aristocratic family began to change their tactics.

They will never let go of such a good opportunity, and must make the emperor yield.

then.

In the morning, they launched a new round of offensive...

……

Tai Chi Temple.

Li Shimin had just sat down, before he could speak, one of the officials stood up without hesitation.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there are more and more disaster victims gathered in Chang'an, and the food distributed by His Majesty will soon be unable to support it. Please arrange it as soon as possible!"

"According to the current situation, once there is another shortage of food, the victims will be out of control. I am afraid that there will be chaos again, and the whole body will be affected by one incident. Chaos in Chang'an is very likely to affect the overall situation of the world!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice..." It was Duan Lun, Minister of the Household Department, who spoke.

This person was Li Yuankai's confidant, and when he found that frequent memorials were not effective, the aristocratic family did not hesitate to ask him to come forward and directly raised the issue in the early court.

Duan Lun's brilliance lies in that among all the people who wrote the memorial, none of them had his handwriting, as if he stayed out of the matter from the beginning to the end.

Hearing Duan Lun's words, except for a limited number of people, the other people in the morning were all panicked, looking at each other not knowing what to do.

of course.

Most of them are from the aristocratic family, trying their best to cooperate with Duan Lun in acting.

The stronger their performance, the more pressure they put on Li Shimin!

"What should we do now? Although His Majesty's actions in the past two days were useful and properly resettled the victims, more and more people are gathering now. If there is turmoil...the power will be much stronger!"

"It's not just these, with the experience from last time, you will have food when you know there is trouble, so you will definitely spare no effort in action!"

"If there is no proper solution and we only rely on food to fill it, the problem will be quite serious!"

Hundreds of officials were talking about it, and almost everyone was emphasizing that if the problems of the victims were not resolved, the consequences would be disastrous.

But what they never expected was that no matter what McGrady performed, Li Shimin's expression was not flustered, but with a smile on the contrary.

Gradually... Duan Lun also realized that something was wrong, as if their actions had no effect.

"Your Majesty?" Duan Lun narrowed his eyes, watching Li Shimin speak again.

"Of course I am clear about the matter, and I also understand that if it is not properly resolved, the problems of the victims will become more and more serious!" Li Shimin nodded slowly, as if agreeing with Duan Lun and the others.

Who knows.

Before Duan Lun and the others had time to be happy, Li Shimin's next words sent chills down their backs.

"I will arrange large-scale planting of potatoes. It is easy to achieve a yield of thousands of catties per mu. It won't take long for the victims of the disaster to have a steady stream of food to eat!"

"The most important thing is that this kind of food does not have too much requirements on the environment, even these disaster victims have enough ability to do it themselves!"

This is Li Shimin's latest arrangement!

Using the food that is still enough now to mobilize the victims to cooperate with the imperial court in large-scale planting of potatoes, it will not take long for this problem to be completely solved.

quiet!
Deathly quiet!

Except for a few people like Cheng Yaojin, everyone else looked at each other in blank dismay, as if they couldn't believe their ears.

What did His Majesty say just now?

Nearly a thousand catties per mu?
Could it be that he went to court after drinking too much today?
"Why do you feel that something is wrong with His Majesty? Did you listen to someone's rumors? How could there be such a high-yield grain in the world?"

"I also had someone get that thing called potatoes and taste it. It's really unusual, but it's definitely a joke to say that it can produce thousands of catties per mu!"

"Either His Majesty is drunk, or he treats us as fools. Even if we don't understand the things in the farmland at all, we at least know the basics!"

After a short period of calm, there was an uproar in the hall, and many people showed a little anger on their faces.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like Li Shimin is playing with them!
"Your Majesty, think clearly. You can talk about this matter casually. If it is spread and the victims and people know about it, then the matter will be serious!" Duan Lun took a deep breath, looked at Li Shimin seriously and said .

"It is precisely because of the prestige that His Majesty has finally established among the victims of the disaster, so there must be no excuse for breaking the trust of the people!"

"Your Majesty, please think about it carefully. It is impossible for the world to produce such a thing as a thousand catties per mu. If the result does not match what your majesty said, how will the people of the world treat your majesty? What is the majesty of the court?"

When it comes to exaggerating the facts to put pressure on Li Shimin, people like Duan Lun have extremely rich experience, not to mention, this is obviously nonsense!
In fact.

On the surface, Duan Lun seemed to be trying his best to dissuade Li Shimin, worrying that he would break his promise to the people, but he was indescribably happy in his heart.

Even if it gave them another handle!
"I don't need to talk about this matter anymore. I know it well, and soon you will understand my painstaking efforts..." Li Shimin shook his head casually, not paying attention to these words at all.

Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Wei Zheng did not speak from the beginning to the end, watching the farce like spectators.

They were not surprised that the emperor could say such incredible words.

In order to suppress the arrogance of the aristocratic family, let alone thousands of catties per mu, it is estimated to be ten thousand catties, and His Majesty the Emperor can believe it without hesitation.

Unfortunately.

This is clearly a joke...
