Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

His eyes are like lightning, he is mighty and domineering, and his aura hits like a tornado, making the timid officials lower their heads even lower.

"Are you all forcing the palace against me?"

After Li Shimin looked around at the crowd, he spoke slowly.

As soon as the word forced the palace came out, the bodies of many ministers at the scene began to tremble immediately.

"Your Majesty calm down, the ministers are also thinking of the Great Tang Dynasty."

"Nowadays, people in Chang'an City starve to death every day, and the Guannei Road is even more uncommon."

"I also ask Your Majesty to be considerate of the common people in the world, consider for the sake of the country, and issue an imperial edict to appease the grievances of the heavens."

Pei Ji stood up and stood in front of everyone.

He also looked straight at Li Shimin, but his eyes didn't dare to be as scary as before.

"I am not wrong, why do I need to punish myself?"

Li Shimin sneered in his heart, and said in a deep voice.

The court, represented by Pei Ji, just wanted to weaken his prestige.

"Since there is no crime, why did the natural disaster fall?"

Pei Ji asked back.

Full of gunpowder flavor.

Pei Ji was the leader who dared to contradict Li Shimin in this way.

"Natural disaster."

Li Shimin said with a blank face.

"Hehehe... Your Majesty's child?"

"If it is a natural disaster, please His Majesty solve it."

Pei Ji was not afraid, and taunted Li Shimin face to face.

As a founding hero, backed by the Supreme Emperor, he is fearless.

"Hmph, please wait and see."

Li Shimin snorted coldly.

Ignoring Pei Ji's ridicule for the time being, bypassing the ministers.

Coming to the front of the stairs, Li Shimin looked at the long motorcade below.

"Unload the car!"

Li Shimin opened his hands and shouted boldly.

The words fell, and the convoy guards escorted by the plainclothes forbidden army should all be there.

They pulled out long knives from the carriage, slashed at the rope, and cut open a sack along the way.

"Crash..."

Rice, wheat, and millet were scattered on the ground.

All the ministers were in an uproar, their eyes widened, and they looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief.

Pei Ji pushed aside the officials blocking the way and came to the front, staring at the grain scattered on the ground with wide eyes.

"Preach my decree: the imperial court will open warehouses for disaster relief, supply 100 million shi of grain, five qian per bucket!"

"Order Jing Zhaoyin to dispatch government servants and order all rice and grain prices to be reduced. Those who violate the order will be permanently sealed up and expelled from Chang'an City!"

"The left servant of the Shangshu shot Pei Ji and all the officials to disrupt the order of the palace, deprived Sikong of his title, and fined him three years' salary, and his companions were fined one year's salary, as a warning to others."

Li Shimin's voice sounded in front of Tai Chi Palace.

The majestic and domineering voice made all the ministers bend their waists again.

Pei Ji, who was still arrogant just now, looked as ugly as a pig's liver at this moment, but he didn't dare to refute.

The 100 million shi of grain in front of him was too shocking, his brain short-circuited, and he couldn't figure out where so much grain came from.

Chapter 18 Dad Finds You a Match

The imperial court shook, and the city of Chang'an shook.

The people were overjoyed and shouted long live the emperor.

Du Ruhui has also returned to Cai Guogong's mansion.

He is calling the servants of the mansion to move the mattress back.

There was a lot of commotion, and Du Ruhui had been away from home for a while, which quickly attracted the attention of everyone in the mansion.

"Sir, what did you bring back?"

Mrs. Du asked curiously.

She is more than 30 years old, but because she is well maintained, she only looks 27 or [-], with a tender and charming charm.

"Mattress, even if you say you don't understand."

Du Ruhui waved his hands and said.

In addition to mattresses, he also bought a lot of things and brought some gifts for his wife and children.

"Oh fine."

Madam Du didn't ask any more questions, and helped direct the servants to move things.

"Where's Miao Yan?"

Du Ruhui sat on the main seat in the hall and looked around.

Du He, Du Miaoyun, and Du Gou's three children were all there, but Du Miaoyan was missing.

"Father, sister is reading in the study."

Duho responded.

"I only know how to read every day, and I don't learn how to be a female celebrity. How will I get married in the future?"

Du Ruhui said helplessly.

"Father, during your absence in Chang'an City, [-] families sent their son's birthday horoscope to eldest sister."

Du Miaoyun stuck out her cute little tongue and whispered.

The eldest sister is the girl who is the least worried about marrying in Chang'an City, even if she doesn't know how to become a female celebrity.

Because the eldest sister is the most beautiful woman in Chang'an City, and she is a master of both books and swords, and is famous among the younger generation in Chang'an City.

Don't talk about ordinary people, even the relatives of the emperor are trying to ask for a kiss.

"Then does your sister have a fancy?"

Du Ruhui suddenly became interested and asked.

"The girl took one look and was pushed back."

Mrs. Du came over and interjected.

The husband and wife were very worried about the eldest daughter's marriage.

"Girl, see if I don't speak well of her."

Du Ruhui couldn't sit still.

Get up and walk towards the study.

The eldest daughter is already, very old.

The wife married herself when she was 15 years old and gave birth to her the following year.

Repeatedly returning those who proposed marriages again and again, no one in Chang'an City would dare to propose marriages to the Du family in the future.

The study room, the door is not closed.

When Du Ruhui walked in, he saw his daughter reading a book.

"Father, you're back?!"

Du Miaoyan put down the book, got up and smiled.

"A heartless girl, I don't know how to welcome my father when he comes back."

Du Ru gave her daughter a dark look and complained.

"Father, don't blame me, it's because the servants didn't inform me."

"Come on, daddy, sit down, and my daughter will rub your back for you."

Du Miaoyan smiled sweetly and walked towards Du Ruhui.

Pull him back to where he was sitting just now, stand behind him and beat Du Ruhui's back.

"You girl..."

Du Ruhui sat down and sighed.

Looking at the medical book on the desk that has just been flipped through, I feel warm in my heart.

The eldest daughter is good at everything, and knows how to feel sorry for her old father, but she is still not married at this age.

In her words, no one is worthy of her, she doesn't want to have children for anyone, and she doesn't want to be a husband and parent for someone.

"Father, it seems that your complexion has improved a lot. What happened during this trip to the south?"

Du Miaoyan asked slightly surprised.

The father's health is very poor, and his bones are beyond ordinary people's old age.

But when I met him just now, and when I was beating his back now, there was a slight difference.

"Something happened that greatly changed my father's cognition..."

Du Ruhui sighed.

Tell Du Miaoyan what he saw and heard in Wuling County.

In particular tea, mattresses, cement, and saltpeter are described for making ice.

"There is such a god in the world?!"

Du Miaoyan was shocked.

She knew about tea, but she didn't expect it to have such an effect after changing the process.

She can also understand saltpeter making ice, and can't help but sigh that there are no wonders in the world.

But she couldn't understand the mattresses and cement roads, and she didn't record them in the thousands of books she had read.

Suddenly, Du Miaoyan became curious about Fang Yuan who made all this.

"Before I met him, Dad didn't believe that there would be such a god-man in the world."

"But after seeing him, Dad realized that there is a sky beyond the sky, there are people beyond people, and there are all kinds of wonders in the world."

"Father thinks he is a good person and has a bright future. How about you get to know him?"

After listening to his daughter's evaluation, Du Ruhui suddenly had a thought in his mind.

Since he decided to train Fang Yuan, why not train a son-in-law by the way?

Although my daughter has high eyesight and looks down on the handsome talents of Chang'an City, Fang Yuan is by no means comparable to ordinary people.

"Father, don't be joking."

"My daughter doesn't want to marry, or become someone else's wife, but just wants to be a filial piety at her father's knee."

Du Miaoyan smiled, shook her head and said.

Although there are many strange people in the world, they may not be able to make my heart beat.

Moreover, her father's health is not good, and she might leave when she leaves. She doesn't want to marry.

"You girl, father doesn't need you to be filial!"
