Square face, slightly sunken cheeks, a pair of dull eyes...

This is a beauty?

Yang Deli coughed dryly, disappointed.

I remember when he was in Huazhou, he squatted at the door of his house and looked at the women in the village when he was fine.Although I was poor at that time, I was poor and happy!

Now that I am an official, why am I not happy?

Yang Deli was confused.

When the front stopped, he stopped all entanglements.

What do I think these are for?

There is money and food every month, and there are wives and children at home. These days were unimaginable before.

At that time, the old Jia's family was in such a miserable state that he decided not to get married and take care of his cousin for the rest of his life.

So... what am I still struggling with?

Yang Deli looked up, with a look of joy on his brows.

What a great day!

The servant went in to report, and then came out to take them in.

Yang Deli lowered his head, followed Gao Xing into the main hall, and immediately saluted.

He didn't even dare to lift his head, only hearing the voices of arguing.

"Now Tubo has got rid of internal troubles and is sharpening its sword. Goryeo is also staring at Silla, trying to cut off future troubles. Ashina Helu failed this time, but what about the next time? If he can succeed next time Anxi stirs up wind and rain, how to deal with it?"

Cui Dunli talked eloquently, "The government soldiers should not be hoarded in the frontier fortress too much. In this way, the number of people from various places going to Chang'an should be increased, and troops should be hoarded in Chang'an. If there is something wrong with each party, Chang'an will send troops."

Changsun Wuji frowned, "But Chang'an is short of food, and the population will increase. There must be not enough food. This old man thinks this is inappropriate."

"Why not?"

Cui Dunli was originally the minister of the Ministry of War, and he had long suggested increasing Chang'an's military strength, but he suggested it again today, and started arguing with Changsun Wuji.

"food!"

Changsun Wuji said: "It is difficult to transfer food in Luoyang, and the population cannot be increased."

Cui Dunli felt that Changsun Wuji was too pedantic, "Even if there is no increase in troops, there will be a large number of new people in Chang'an every year, but Changsun Xianggong is a little bit out of food because of choking."

Changsun Wuji was slightly angry: "During the Sui Dynasty, Chang'an had poor harvests from time to time, so I had to go to Luoyang to eat. Chang'an had a bumper harvest last year, but how will this year be, who can guarantee? If there is not enough food, should His Majesty bring a group of people to eat?" Will the minister and the army go to Luoyang again?"

Cui Dunli smiled slightly, "I have to ask the Ministry of Accounts about this matter."

Changsun Wuji glanced at Gao Xing, "If you want to settle this matter, don't talk about it for three or five days, so let's put it aside for now."

Li Zhi listened for a while, then nodded slightly at this moment, "The household department will talk about it first."

Gao Xingxing said: "Your Majesty, the minister is generally aware of this matter, and there will be no problem with the supply of Chang'an stored grain this year."

This is the basic data, which is known not only by high-level executives, but also by the prime ministers.This is also the root of Cui Dunli's suggestion.

Li Zhi nodded, "In this way, I have confidence in my heart."

Changsun Wuji asked, "How much can Chang'an store in surplus?"

Uh!

This data is constantly changing, and Gao Xing is not clear about it, "I don't know about this matter, but..."

He pointed to Yang Deli, "Yang Deli, head of the household department, knows."

Yang Deli was trembling all over, "Minister... Xiaguan... Xiaguan..."

Changsun Wuji frowned. "What are you panicking about?"

"Your officer... don't panic!"

Li Zhi smiled slightly, "Speak well."

"Yes!"

Yang Deli said, "Chang'an...a long-term store of food..."

He lowered his head and spoke more and more fluently.

"...Jiyou warehouse stores 390 [-] shi of grain."

"...Bingding warehouse stores [-] stones of grain..."

At first, the monarch and his subjects just listened calmly, but gradually they became a little surprised.

The last time Li Zhi met Yang Deli, he remembered that he was a very serious courtier.But looking at it today, this courtier is not only serious, but also doing his job extremely well.

This is the official!

The emperor likes this kind of courtier the most!

"...This year seems to be enough, but this is an estimate of this year's harvest. If the harvest changes..."

Yang Deli lowered his head, "Your Majesty, the harvest is uncertain! I remember that it snowed heavily that year, and the old farmers in the village said that the harvest would be bumper next year. But the second year was drought, and the harvest was poor..."

Monarchs and ministers are silent.

Yang Deli was able to calculate the grain stored in the household department clearly. This is not a skill, but after he calculated it clearly, he can still remember clearly. He even knows exactly how much grain is stored in which warehouse. What is this?

Officials!

Cui Dunli asked, "How do you remember it so clearly?"

Changsun Wuji smiled, "It's just more serious."

He knew a little about Jia Ping'an's cousin, and everyone said that he was serious.

Li Zhi also laughed, "I've seen it before last time. But the more serious servant... I think it's a compliment."

The officials laughed lightly, and the atmosphere was very happy.

Yang Deli raised his head and said seriously: "Your Majesty, I have been living with my cousin all these years, and I have never had enough to eat. To me, food...is a gift from heaven, and every grain of food should not be wasted...But any money and food, Once you see it, you will never forget it."

Li Zhi nodded, "Every grain of grain should not be wasted. That's a good saying. The palace consumes a lot of grain every year. Is there any waste? I think there must be. Can there be any official houses? There must be.
