Later, he was rescued by Li Qiu and became Li Qiu's best friend, standing on the side of Li Qiu's interests everywhere.

So he also became the collective target of the gentry officials.

However, Li Shimin didn't have any obvious reaction in front of everyone's memorabilia.

Not to mention how to deal with this Yungu.

His almost cover-up attitude aroused dissatisfaction among the officials.

Prime Minister Feng Deyi came out at this time, "Your Majesty, the people are the foundation of the country, if every official is like this Yungu."

"Let go of all the people under the rule, and the people under the rule are gone. Wouldn't that mean that the country will lose the country?!"

"So this kind of behavior must be severely punished!"

Seeing the crowd besieging Zhang Yungu, Wei Zheng stood up to support him.

"Your Majesty, I believe that governing the refugees is just like Dayu's governing the water."

"This containment alone cannot stop it."

"It must be unblocked and combined."

"Also, although the laws of the Tang Dynasty clearly prohibit people from migrating at will."

"But that's under normal circumstances."

"I believe that the use of this law should also be adapted to local conditions, and it is time to adapt to local conditions."

"Currently there is a severe drought in Guanzhong, and it has caught up with the Turkic invasion. Under the chaos, food stocks have been robbed and houses have been burned."

"There are too many refugees here, and the food brought by the court is far from enough to feed them."

"Did Zhang Yungu really do something wrong?"

"Do you really want to watch them starve to death?!"

Speaking of this, Wei Zheng, who was straight-tempered and fearless all his life, turned to face the large group of courtiers.

"My lords, Wei Zheng is here to beg you on behalf of these refugees."

"Rather than you have the time to do these useless things, you might as well think about how to feed those refugees!"

"Those are all the common people of our Tang Dynasty!"

Listening to Wei Zheng's words, Feng Deyi, Pei Ji and other ministers naturally fought hard and attacked him together.

Seeing that the chaotic hall was getting more and more chaotic, Li Shimin waved his hand.

"Okay, stop arguing!"

"I think what Wei Zheng said is not unreasonable."

"As for Zhang Yungu, although it is reasonable to do so, he didn't report it and made his own decisions. You are right to impeach him."

"Let's resign from his post as Jingzhao's governor and wait for the follow-up arrangements."

"As for these refugees, what should we do?"

Mentioning this, Li Shimin couldn't help frowning.

Everyone will say that it is easy to quote classics, but when it comes to specific policies and good methods for governing the people, that is not the case at all.

Then, Li Shimin instantly remembered what Li Qiu said about this refugee in the Furong Garden that day.

Li Qiu is the one who can be unconventional, open up a new way, and think of solutions to problems that others can't think of.

So, he immediately ordered to summon Li Qiu to me as soon as possible!

After about a while, the unlucky Li Qiu who was still under the covers was caught and brought to the court again.

After hearing the topic discussed by everyone before, Li Qiu was indifferent.

"Want to manage refugee migration?"

"This is easy to handle!"

Hearing his words, Li Shimin wanted to laugh in his heart.

This bastard always has such a free and easy attitude.

As for Feng Deyi and other officials, they naturally sneered, secretly thinking that this son is too arrogant, and he is not afraid of Feng Da's tongue flashing.

At this time, Li Shimin asked: "Li Qiu, since you think this matter is easy to handle, then tell me, what do you plan to do?"

Li Qiu bowed to accept the order, and replied: "Your Majesty, we people in Huaxia place great emphasis on the difficulty of leaving our homeland."

"If it is not forced, which commoner is willing to leave their hometown and become a refugee hunted and driven by the government?"

"If you want to stop the refugees, you just need to let them fill their stomachs and live and work in peace, and they will naturally not leave."

"So, I believe that the root of governing the refugees lies in the great governance of the world."

Listening to Li Qiu's words, Li Shimin's eyes showed a hint of joy and deep appreciation.

As for Li Qiu, he has always had a far-reaching vision and an outstanding vision, which he has always known.

As for Wang Gui, Wei Zheng and others, they also applauded in their hearts.

In fact, Wang Gui and Wei Zheng's views were also the same during the usual chats and exchanges.

And the professional terms and terminology that Li Qiu spoke of were all learned from the two of them.

Now it is also ready to use, and there are noses and eyes.

However, Li Qiu's words were definitely not so comfortable in the ears of others.

"Hehe, I said Prince Changze."

"What you said is general talk, and everyone understands it."

"What is the great order in the world, the people are safe and the country is governed, the weather is smooth, and the people live and work in peace and contentment."

"These icing on the cake, everyone will say."

"And right now, His Majesty is asking you about the present, not the future."

"Based on your words, can the people outside the city and the refugees in Guanzhong be solved?"

Hearing what he said, Li Qiu couldn't help laughing, then looked at Feng Deyi and the others and asked back: "Master Feng, you said that I was talking in general terms, adding to the icing on the cake, I admit all of this."

"I am a military commander. What I specialize in is to repel the powerful Turkic enemies, attack the city and pull out the stronghold, and knock down Shuofang City."

"In the final analysis, what is it like? I think it is the responsibility of you courtiers to manage and settle the refugees outside the city in a pragmatic manner so that they will not starve to death in the snow this winter."

"I don't know much about the truth, but at least I know that there is a saying called the reward of eating the emperor, and the matter of being loyal to the emperor."

"In addition to wrangling in the court and playing this and that every day, can you do some practical things related to the Tang Dynasty and the common people?"

"If I were you, I would not receive a salary for a day if there were no more refugees outside the city."

"I don't have that face!"

Chapter 161 You can go ahead, if you can't, shut up

Li Qiu's words naturally ignited the entire court.

Numerous courtiers began to attack him, saying things like brats, talking wild words, daring to do so, and so on.

At this time, Li Shimin waved his hand in boredom, telling them all to stop.

"Okay, stop arguing!"

"Li Qiu, tell me, how to deal with these refugees?"

At this time Li Qiu bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, there are more than two thousand families outside the city right now, and I am willing to relieve your majesty's worries."

Li Shimin frowned, "Oh? How do you plan to relieve my worries?"

Li Qiu replied: "Your Majesty, I intend to keep a small part of the refugees in their original places."

"As for most of the refugees, I want to move them to my fiefdom."

"And let them live and work in peace and contentment there, with no worries about food and clothing, and settle down quickly."

"Thus, on behalf of His Majesty, on behalf of Datang, relieve worries and difficulties, and solve the problem of refugees around Chang'an City once and for all."

After hearing his words, Li Shimin, Wang Gui, Wei Zheng, Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui and others couldn't help frowning.

There are more than two thousand households of refugees, nearly ten thousand refugees, how can it be so easy to solve?

This kind of thing is always easy to think of, but difficult to do, and it is even more difficult to complete the goal.

Otherwise, the problem of refugees would not have been dragged from the beginning of autumn to the present.

On the other side, the group of courtiers sneered at Li Qiu's words with disdain.

"Heh, what a king of Changze County."

"You are not very young, but your tone is not small!"

"The environment in Youzhou and other places is harsh, the population is sparse, and the army is in constant chaos."

"It's too late for the people there to escape, but now you want to move the people in Guanzhong there."

"Could it be that they want to starve to death in that barren land?"

At this time, Li Shimin also sighed, and also did not think that Li Qiu's proposal was feasible.

"Li Qiu, your thoughts are really good."

"However, regarding the matter of refugees, let's take a long-term plan."

Obviously, Li Shimin was supporting Li Qiu's pockets to prevent him from talking big words and ending up with nothing.

But contrary to everyone's expectations, Li Qiu continued to persist in an extremely resolute tone.

"Your Majesty, I have the intention and the ability to help Your Majesty and the court solve the current problem of the refugees."

"I just need to give these refugees two months' rations, and an army of several hundred people to lead and escort them to Youzhou and other places."

"From Chang'an to Youzhou, I have traveled a long distance. I can't guarantee that there will be no accidents and no one will die."

"However, I can assure you that the vast majority of these people will arrive in Youzhou smoothly, and they will really settle down and survive this winter successfully."

"The number of people who freeze to death or starve to death is far better than keeping them in place right now."

After hearing Li Qiu's words, all the ministers were secretly happy.

This nearly ten thousand people is not a small number.

In the current season, if you rush from Chang'an to Youzhou, many people will die if things go wrong.

At that time, they would have plenty of means to play Li Qiu.

Looking at Li Qiu's incomparably determined eyes and expression, Li Shimin always felt a little dazed.

He was so much like his younger self.

There is a firm and strong self-confidence, as well as the pride of sharing the worries of the country and solving the difficulties of the people in his chest.

"it is good!"

"Li Qiu, I believe in you and can fulfill the promise you made today."

"Xuanling, you will be in charge later, and will send Li Qiu food for these refugees for three months."

"If there is any difficulty with Li Qiu, you can help him solve it together."

"Also, Li Qiu, do you have any other requests, feel free to ask them now."

Li Qiu thought for a while, then bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, after so many refugees have arrived in Youzhou and other places, they must need a good official who is capable and truly loves the people like a son."

"That's why I recommended Zhang Yungu as the governor of Youzhou to assist me in managing the government affairs of thirteen states including Youzhou."

Upon hearing Li Qiu's recommendation, Feng Deyi, Pei Ji and others all stood up and expressed their opposition.

"Your Majesty, this Youzhou and the other thirteen states already had governors."

"Now that they have no fault, it is against the rules to temporarily add an official in charge of them."

"This officialdom is not for children to play games and mess around at will."

Zhang Yungu was an official of the third rank when he was the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture.

And Youzhou is an important town, Shangzhou, and the governor of Shangzhou is an official from the third rank.
