Time passed slowly, and another three days passed. The food that was originally like a hill has now shrunk by several large circles.

The officials responsible for distributing food began to hesitate over time.

Even they understand that it won't be long before the food will be exhausted.

If they are only beginning to become hesitant, then the common people have a deeper understanding.

Because they can see the facts directly!

The porridge in my bowl was not as thick as it was at the beginning, and the potatoes in my hands seemed to be quite a bit smaller, which could no longer bring the familiar sense of security.

then.

In a short period of time, rumors spread among the victims, and most people felt that the imperial court could not provide much food to guarantee their daily needs.

"From my point of view, there is not much food in the imperial court. What His Majesty did at that time was just to stabilize us temporarily!"

"I think so. Look at the porridge in our bowls. It is getting less and less every day. At first there were three or five potatoes, but now there are only two. I'm afraid it won't be long before we can't even eat porridge!"

"Could it be that Your Majesty really came up with such an expedient measure just to prevent us from causing trouble? From the beginning to the end, the imperial court never thought of controlling our lives?"

Outside the porridge shed, countless disaster victims gathered together to discuss and express their guesses without any scruples. Especially many disaster victims who gathered recently were always worried that they would have no food tomorrow.

"Although this is what you say, you have to speak with conscience. If it wasn't for His Majesty's generosity and food to help, now we people still have the opportunity to stand here and speak?" At this time, a hair-haired The gray old man stood up.

He held a broken bowl in his hand, which contained gruel that could even bottom out.

He was one of the witnesses to what the emperor did that day, and more importantly, after living most of his life, he knew how to be grateful than most people.

Whether it is the emperor of the court or an official, as a common people, they must not have the idea of ​​making progress, otherwise, it will soon be their turn to be unlucky.

Not to mention, the emperor did his best to help them with practical actions this time.

"However, what's the point in having the same ending sooner or later?" As soon as the old man finished speaking, someone immediately stood up and retorted.

but.

After the old man said this, many people fell into silence. What they had to admit was that if the emperor hadn't provided the food that day, they would have no chance to stand here now!

"Can't we eat less?" The old man sneered, pressing the young man who spoke.

"We people, to put it bluntly, are now sitting and eating. No matter how much food we have, sooner or later we will be exhausted!"

"It's been such a long time, and the court didn't ask us to do anything. Now that we know that the emperor and the court are in trouble, why can't we do what we should do within our capabilities?"

original.

The young man who spoke just wanted to show off. After all, he was thinking about everyone's future, but he didn't expect that he was so ashamed to be refuted.

After such a small episode, the emotions of most of the victims have calmed down.

They are all thinking about the same thing, which is to eat as little as possible next.

As the old man said, within the scope of his ability, help the court save some money.

however.

Compared with these simple people inside, those people from aristocratic families who have never worried about food, just do something else...

……

Royal study.

Li Shimin looked at the memorials piled up in front of him with a gloomy expression, and didn't speak for a long time.

Even though he had expected this kind of result, when it actually happened, it still made him feel very uncomfortable.

just now.

Most people understand that there may be insufficient food, and the treatment of the victims has also changed drastically.

Facing the same fact, a straight-forward person like Wei Zheng only suspected in the memorial whether someone was enriching his own pockets and withholding benefits from the victims.

People from other aristocratic families seized this opportunity, crazily exaggerated the facts, and directly escalated the matter to the point of threatening Datang's safety.

"Snapped……"

Li Shimin slapped the criminal in front of him, and threw the memorial in his hand violently.

Not far from him, Changsun Wuji stood silently all along, and the memorial was just thrown at his feet.

"Look at..."

"Break the trust of the people, and the country will perish. It's just that the food supply is about to run out, so it's so alarmist!" Li Shimin roared angrily.

"Auxiliary machine, tell me... Is it because I want to break my trust with the people, or these guys are hard-hearted, for their own benefit, completely disregarding the life and death of the people!"

"In the end, I blamed all the mistakes on me instead!"

Faced with Li Shimin's uncontrollable anger, Changsun Wuji seemed very calm.

In fact.

This is not uncommon for him. It is simply a fantasy for the people of the aristocratic family to put themselves in the shoes of the common people!
"Your Majesty, these aristocratic families have been famous for food for generations, and they have never worried about such trivial matters as food. Of course, all their thoughts are to maintain their prominent status!"

"As for putting yourself in the shoes of the common people, that's even more impossible. Now, those disaster victims outside the city can only live on gruel and potatoes every day!"

"But in those people's mansions, the countless wine, meat and grains may have stink because no one patronizes them. Even so, they will never think of using them to help the people. This is their way to protect their rights!"

Of course, Changsun Wuji didn't know that his very random opinion was the famous sentence of Du Funa later on, "The wine and meat of Zhumen stinks, and the bones are frozen to death on the road".

but.

He also knew very well in his heart that the more chaotic the situation is now, the more confidence they have.

Of course, we should also thank His Royal Highnesses. If it weren't for his private money and the grain mountain, the current situation would have been out of control.

But even though the food can only last for a short period of time, the role of potatoes and the silver mountain can at least be compared with those of the aristocratic family.

Judging from their current actions, these people obviously want to take this opportunity to put pressure on Li Shimin, so as to achieve their original goal.

Unfortunately.

These guys, who have always been shrewd, obviously made a wrong calculation this time...
