Datang: Get a god-level selection system at the beginning

"His Royal Highness, it is truly a great fortune for the Tang Dynasty to have a crown prince like you."

"People in the world often say that every 500 years there will be a saint. The last one was Han Guangwu Liu Xiu, and this time it is my turn to be Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty."

"Hey, it's a good thing I turned against Wang Shichong at the beginning, otherwise I would regret it now."

"His Royal Highness, if there is no preparation and a hasty response, the locust plague will definitely have a very big impact, and the situation of the end of the Sui Dynasty may happen again."

"But this time we have two full years to prepare in advance, and we must be able to minimize the loss."

The worship of Li Shimin by everyone in Tiance Mansion has reached a new level, and all kinds of praises poured in like they don't want money.

"Ahem, I just had an idea, it's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning."

Li Shimin's face blushed, but he still calmly took this great contribution into his pocket.

"Is there any good way for you, you can speak freely, as long as it is a useful way to deal with the locust plague, you can say it."

"I feel that the most important way now is to purchase a large amount of grain as soon as possible, and then issue some government orders to reduce the waste of food. For example, it is best to postpone the wine making."

Changsun Wuji's proposal was agreed by most of the important ministers, and even Du Ruhui proposed to completely ban wine making.

There were not many people present who were not good at drinking, but compared with the lives of the people, it was not worth mentioning. Even if there were a few who were not so willing, they were unwilling to make public anger.

If this kind of thing gets out, people will poke their spines and scold them for a lifetime.

Unfortunately, Li Wenbin spoke up.

"My nephew disagrees with Mr. Du's suggestion. It is good to advocate or use certain methods to guide it. It is not advisable to completely ban wine making."

"Oh? What's your opinion, my little prince?"

"Master Du, my nephew just said it casually, please don't take it seriously. Think about it, if wine making is really banned across the board, what will happen to the people?"

"As long as the decree goes from top to bottom, it can be completely prohibited. Is there any doubt about it?"

"My lord Du, my nephew thinks that if we really do this, it will make the private brewing and smuggling more rampant, and it will be out of control."

"How is that possible? With the court's laws and regulations, how could such a thing happen?"

"Why is it impossible? Master Du, you may not know one thing. As long as there is a [-]% profit, it is enough to make people crazy, and when the profit exceeds [-]%, those people will take the risk of being hanged. "

"Then tell me, what should we do? Shouldn't we be encouraged?"

"Of course my nephew wouldn't say that, it's just that we should use a more gentle method to guide it. As for the method, then I ask all the uncles to work together."

"Hmph, the child is full of nonsense."

Du Ruhui snorted and stopped talking.

Cheng Yaojin winked at Li Wenbin, while Li Wenbin shrugged helplessly, expressing that he had no choice.

Although he knew that what he did today would be regarded as offending the future prime minister, but there was no way around it.

Because Li Wenbin had heard of this kind of thing, the beautiful country also had a prohibition on alcohol, but instead, a large number of energetic groups were born, and they took advantage of this shareholder wind to develop rapidly.

If there is any prohibition on alcohol in the Tang Dynasty, it will only make the ordinary people at the bottom suffer.

Du Ruhui didn't see this step, not because he was incapable, but because he didn't have the corresponding insight—after all, the prohibition on alcohol only looks at the surface, and there is still some reason.

"Father, my son's suggestion is to temporarily bring the brewing industry into the government, just like Yantie. This will not only allow the court to control the situation, but also increase revenue for the treasury. What do you think?"

"Official brewing camp? I'm afraid this will cause a lot of backlash, and there will definitely be a lot of people who oppose it."

"Father, this kind of thing will happen in any new decree. After all, it can't satisfy everyone. And the purpose of those opponents is self-evident. It's just that their own cake has been moved."

Li Shimin blinked his eyes, and he somewhat understood what Li Wenbin meant: the advantage of doing this is that he can take the opportunity to suppress those aristocratic families.

Who is the person who currently owns the most land?Naturally, it was those aristocratic families, and the extra grain was used by them to make wine, which made a lot of money. Now that the wine making is included in the official operation, it is tantamount to cutting off a very important source of income for the aristocratic families.

How much money you can make from farming depends on the face of God. How can you make more money from wine making?

Li Shimin figured out this joint, and immediately made a decision on the official operation of the brewing industry.

Seeing that his suggestion was not adopted, Du Ruhui's face was a little unsightly. Li Wenbin saw all this, so he couldn't say anything.

I respect my elders, but I love the truth more.

Fang Xuanling clasped his fists and said, "His Royal Highness, if you want to purchase grain on a large scale, where will the money come from?"

It is still the ninth year of Wude, and it has not been long for the world to be peaceful. After the great war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, all industries are now in decline.

Moreover, the repeated battles with the surrounding separatist forces have also left Datang's treasury empty, and now it is impossible to spend much money to buy food.

When Li Shimin thought about it, it was indeed the truth, which made him feel quite a headache.

Du Ruhui thought for a while and said: "Your Highness, the Ministry of War sent an official document a few days ago, and it is necessary to withdraw [-] guan to replace the horse. Why don't you wait for a while?"

Cheng Yaojin was not happy when he heard it: "My surname is Du, what do you mean? My Zuo Wuwei only has [-] war horses, and now [-] horses have worn out hooves and can no longer ride them."

"What's the matter, Mr. Du, do you want your brothers to ride this kind of horse on the battlefield? You don't care about your brother's life at all?"

"Cheng Zhijie, don't spout blood."

"Hmph, what I, Old Cheng, is telling the truth. Your Royal Highness, what I, General Zuo Wuwei, is doing is meaningless. Now all of my subordinates have become infantry, so you can't just leave us alone."

"The locust plague, Cheng Yaojin, don't you care about it?"

"You fart, if the prince wasn't here, my old Cheng would have knocked out your two front teeth!"

"You bastard..."

"Shut up, what do you think this is?"

When Li Shimin got angry, Du Ruhui and Cheng Yaojin calmed down and did not dare to quarrel in front of him anymore.

"Ding, the system issued a task."

At this time, the voice of the system sounded in Li Wenbin's mind.
