Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

Just the first time, many people chose to believe it, but even so, some people still believed that An Xuangong was making up for his previous reputation.

However, at this time, Li Junxian's face suddenly realized, no matter how slow he was at this time, he still received the matter of An Xuangong's relief of these disaster victims.

As for the rumors in Chang'an, although Li Junxian had heard about it, he didn't care.

The reason is very simple, that is, His Majesty has absolute trust in Duke An Xuan. Of course, even if there is no trust, he will never believe in other rumors until the results of the rumors come out.

"If this matter is concerned, there should be no need to alarm His Majesty."

After all, it was just Duke Anxuan helping the refugees, and for Li Junxian, there was nothing to report on this matter.

During this period of time, His Majesty didn't seem to know what he was thinking, as if he didn't care about other things, so Li Junxian didn't want to make fun of himself.

What's more, the relief of refugees is a good thing, and it is not a bad thing. Although it is normal to report good news and not bad news, it does not include Baiqi.

Baiqi, as His Majesty's eyes and ears, needs not to report the good news, but to find out the problem. This is the real credit.

It is also the existence that His Majesty relies heavily on. If Baiqi is only announcing good news, then he, the commander of Baiqi, must have to be replaced.

What Li Junxian didn't know was that when these refugees returned to their gathering places, they spread the news.

"Is there really gruel to drink?"

"It's a pity that each person only has half a bowl, but we can continue tomorrow."

"What, there will be more tomorrow. Is this Duke Anxuan really a good person?"

......

In a certain refugee gathering place, one after another voices of discussion sounded, and there was a trace of emotion in the words.

Such a scene didn't just happen in this scene, especially those refugees who returned from Chang'an, all of them had a hint of excitement on their faces.

It can be said that compared with the previous lifelessness, other refugees see this change.

It's only half a bowl of gruel, but to these refugees, it seems like the drought is coming and the rain is coming. These refugees are ready to occupy a good position tomorrow morning.

On the second day, there were twice as many refugees as the day before, and they headed towards Shu Mansion as soon as they entered Chang'an City.

This couldn't help but make these Chang'an soldiers click their tongues secretly, but because someone from above explained that the routine inspection of these refugees is enough.

Of course, the inspection is an inspection, in fact, it is just a glance. If other people may still have packages and the like, but these refugees basically did not bring anything.

If the only thing is a simple rice bowl made of bamboo, this was explained by Laifu yesterday.

Because there are not so many bowls in the Shu Mansion, but because there were not many people on the first day, and people in this era don't pay much attention to hygiene, so let's make do with it.

But it was only the first day, and Laifu asked these refugees to bring a bowl. Of course, bamboo tubes are also fine. Anyway, the porridge is based on the Shufu rice bowl, which is only half a bowl.

The number of people who also gathered in front of the Shu Mansion was doubled, and they had lined up early, among them were women in tattered clothes, listless children, and even skinny old men.

The Shu Mansion didn't let these refugees wait for too long, several large pots of porridge that had already been cooked were carried up with the help of several guards.

"I'm coming!"

All of a sudden, a light appeared in the refugee's eyes.

Laifu took a look at the refugees, there were many more people than yesterday, and they all filled the entire street, with no end in sight.

You must know that many scholars originally came here to break through Shumen Ten Questions, but today they are destined to be unable to enter.

"In order, come forward one by one!"

The sound of Laifu sounded, and then the porridge was served.

.......

And the second day was also a start. On the third day, the number of people not only doubled, but doubled.

There were nearly 5000 people, which kept Laifu busy for most of the day, but their expressions also became serious.

"If there are more people tomorrow, then I'm afraid it will be a busy day."

Lai Fu's respectful voice sounded, and he looked at his master in front of him with a wry smile on his face.

Shu An nodded as he knew it, but Shu An was also thinking about it. The number of refugees in Chang'an seemed to have skyrocketed in three days, from a few thousand to tens of thousands.

And this number is still rising rapidly at a terrifying speed, Shu An knows that it is the people who migrated from the pass before.

Fortunately, these common people did not come to the gate of Shu Mansion immediately because they were just familiar with Chang'an.

However, I believe that with the passage of time, these common people will eventually come to the gate of Shu Mansion.

If there is a free lunch in the world, no one will refuse it, let alone these poor people.

"Let the guards guarding the academy come back, and recruit some permanent workers."

Shu An's voice sounded slowly. Originally, there was not a lot of people in the Shu Mansion, except for the guards, there were basically more cooks.

There are a total of eight chefs, this is because Shu An is picky about food, there is no one else.

There are also no servants in the Shu Mansion, and this is the same reason, which leads to a shortage of manpower.

After all, besides the relief, the Shu Mansion still has daily affairs to be busy with, so it is not too difficult in normal times, but now it is troublesome.

"Yes, sir!"

Laifu nodded and said that he had written down his master's explanation.

After all, according to my master's status, it's nothing to recruit more people, but the master didn't have this plan for some reason before, but this time he mainly recruited people for these refugees.

This errand is not difficult, and there must be many people who are willing, and it is even no problem to choose some people from among the refugees.

When a new day came, there were not only thousands of refugees in front of the Shu residence, but the number doubled from the previous day.

They even occupied three or four streets. If it wasn't for the relatively remote location of the Shu Mansion, Chang'an might be about to stage a crowded scene.

However, compared to the previous few days, today's commotion is much bigger. These are tens of thousands of refugees, not hundreds of thousands.

Chapter 122 Surprised, Lost Mind

Originally, Shu'an was the focus of Chang'an's attention, especially this incident pushed Shu'an to the cusp of the storm.

If it was the first day, they would have watched Duke Anxuan help the refugees with novel eyes, but when tens of thousands of refugees appeared today, some scholars could not help but take a deep breath.

"Even if it's just half a bowl of porridge a day, these tens of thousands of people need at least dozens of stones of food."

"If I remember correctly, the price of rice in Chang'an has already risen to fifteen cents a bucket."

"It costs a few bucks a day, and there seemed to be not as many people yesterday as there are today."

......

There was a lot of discussion, even if they didn't know it, they felt that there seemed to be more refugees in Chang'an.

In addition, it seems that An Xuangong does not know when the relief will last, so a lot of money must have been spent in it.

Even if it were them, it would definitely not be the case. After all, this money has no benefits at all, as for reputation.

For these scholars, it is not important, they value their interests more, and the reputation brought by these refugees does not help them much among scholars.

In addition to the sighs of these scholars, there is also Li Junxian who has received the report from Baiqi again. This time Li Junxian is not calm.

"How come there are so many more people in just a few days?"

Li Junxian murmured solemnly, knowing that this is tens of thousands of people, not simply hundreds of people.

If he is not careful, it may cause some confusion, especially in Chang'an, even he has some worries.

After thinking of this, Li Junxian also couldn't sit still, he wanted to enter the palace to meet His Majesty, whether it was the number of refugees or the involvement of An Xuangong, these were beyond his control.

.......

Imperial Palace Study Room

"Your Majesty, the number of refugees has exceeded [-]."

Li Junxian said respectfully, with a hint of bitterness on his face, before entering the palace, he did not simply enter the palace.

Instead, they first sent people to find out about the situation of the refugees in the suburbs of Chang'an. If they didn't see it, they didn't know it. They were shocked when they saw it, because there were as many as 2 refugees gathered in the outskirts of Chang'an.

This means that there will be more refugees flooding into Chang'an tomorrow. After all, some people don't know that Duke Anxuan rescued the refugees.

Thinking of the [-] refugees pouring into the entire city of Chang'an, even Li Junxian felt his scalp tingle.

"Why are there so many refugees, is there no chaos?"

Li Shimin's eyes became serious and he said, because Li Junxian reported that there were not many refugees entering Chang'an a few days ago, so he naturally subconsciously thought that there were not many refugees.

Now there are more than [-] refugees at once, even Li Shimin can't help being shocked, because if these refugees riot, it would be unimaginable.

After all, he was already a refugee, and if he could no longer survive, then anything could happen.

"For unknown reasons, the number of refugees has increased dramatically in the past few days."

"In terms of chaos, there hasn't been much chaos. This is mainly related to An Xuangong."

Li Junxian said with a wry smile, although he sent a lot of cavalry to the pass, but no news came back.

As for the chaos, Li Junxian would really like to thank An Xuangong, because of An Xuangong's relief, at least every refugee can survive.

If you dig a little more grass roots, then you can eat half full, and one half full is enough, after all, ordinary people's homes are only half full.

But no one knows when An Xuangong will cancel the relief. After all, as the number of people increases, the amount of food consumed on this day is not small.

At that time, it will be time for His Majesty to worry, and of course he cannot escape.

"What does this have to do with Yafu?"

Li Shimin's expression showed a slight bit of astonishment and he said softly, with doubts in his words, obviously he didn't understand how Yafu and these refugees were related.

Then Li Junxian told everything that happened in Chang'an during this period, from the first day of relief to today.

A flash of enlightenment flashed in Li Shimin's eyes. It turned out that it was because Yafu helped the victims, but then he also hesitated.

What Li Junxian can think of is unreasonable, this emperor can't figure it out. There is no chaos now, but it doesn't mean there will be no chaos in the future.

"Send someone to invite Changsun Wuji and others."

Li Shimin spoke after pondering for a while, with helplessness in his words.

Even for a while, he didn't think about how to resettle these victims, although food has been urgently dispatched from various places.

But I don't know how long it will take to go back and forth, and the situation in various places has not improved much. Only the southern region has allocated grain.

However, this journey is too far, even by water, it is not possible to send food to Chang'an in a short time.

Of course, Li Shimin naturally thought of the grain merchants in Chang'an, and he couldn't help gnashing his teeth in his heart. He felt like he was taking advantage of these people. If it wasn't for these grain merchants, there were many families behind them.

When Li Junxian's figure slowly disappeared into the imperial study, Li Shimin couldn't help thinking of his father-in-law.

At least he owed this Yafu a favor in addition to the matter of helping the victims, although he wanted to reward something.

However, this sub-father seems to have nothing lacking, Li Shimin couldn't help but think of Qingque's words, it seems that this sub-father has a better life than him.

However, before Li Shimin came back to his senses, the sound of hurried footsteps came again, and this person was not Li Junxian who was going to deliver the order.

At this time, Li Junxian left and returned, his face full of worries, even Li Shimin couldn't help but thump in his heart, and had some bad premonitions.

"Your Majesty, on the way out of the palace, I received an urgent message from Baiqi from inside the pass."

Li Junxian's serious voice sounded, with a trace of dignity in his words.

"what news?"

Li Shimin's anxious voice sounded, obviously knowing that something big must have happened.

"The locust plague appeared in the Guannei area."

Li Junxian didn't have any hesitation, and he couldn't help but fell into a daze at this time. Before An Xuangong said that the drought was just the beginning, now it seems to be fulfilled.

After the words fell, Li Shimin's eyes were also stunned, and the image of the white-haired figure writing that word appeared in his mind.

"Did Yafu really hit the mark?"

Li Shimin murmured in a daze, with an indescribable emotion in his words.

Li Junxian on the side looked at His Majesty in a daze and did not bother, because he was also in shock, but what he didn't know was that he and this Majesty were not thinking exactly the same thing.

Chapter 123 Booming Pass, Dilemma

"Laifu, how are the chickens and ducks?"

In the Shu mansion, Shu An's soft questioning voice sounded, and the chickens and ducks raised were naturally used to deal with the next locust plague.
