Datang Live Room

"Mother, let me tell you, the desserts in Kuoding County are delicious!"

"Desserts are not the most delicious. The fried chicken made by Yanzhi County is delicious. It's crispy on the outside, but it's full of juice when you bite into it!"

The team from Chang'an to Kuoding County finally set off.

Two little guys, Li Zhi and Li Lizhi, who had been to Kuoding County, pestered Queen Changsun on the road and kept telling him about the differences in Kuoding County.

Empress Changsun kept nodding with a smile on her face. She was quite looking forward to seeing what was different about Kuoding County, which was rumored to be magical by everyone.

As for the other princes and princesses who had never been there, they looked envious.

Then he touched his arms gently.

This time they brought all their little treasury with them, because they heard that Kuoding County had more rare things than Chang'an.

It was a rare opportunity to follow my father out of Chang'an to Kuoding County, so of course I had to spend a lot of money.

"Your Majesty, along the way, I can see that the people are basically living and working in peace and contentment. Compared with the situation in the Sui Dynasty, when ten rooms and nine rooms were empty, it is much better!"

Sun Wuji, the eldest son next to Li Shimin, has already begun to give him emotional value.

"Of course you all have contributed to this, but our Yanzhi County's contribution is also not small!" Cheng Zhijie stood next to Hou Junji and said loudly on purpose:

"Look at the keel waterwheel over there, the windmill there, and the big yard with the textile workshop. They were all built by our magistrate of Xiaoyan County and the people of Kuoding."

Hou Junji, an old boy, would have his tail raised to the sky when he became the Minister of War.

There were usually five or six people in front of them, but now they found an opportunity. Of course, Cheng Zhijie, an old ruffian, wanted to make up for it.

Hou Junji stood aside and his face turned dark.

In fact, he didn't want to come, but if he really didn't come, there's no telling how an old ruffian like Cheng Zhijie would arrange for him.

At this time, Hou Junji felt as if he had a bowl of rice in front of him, but there were a few grains of rat shit in it, but he still had to eat it, which made him feel sick.

"Report, a small group of refugees were found ahead!"

Just when everyone was praising Li Shimin, someone suddenly came to report.

Li Shimin's face turned dark. He is a person who likes to be praised.

I was feeling a little arrogant at first, but this sentence was like a slap on my face.

"What's going on?" Li Shimin asked with a dark face.

The spy is only responsible for investigation, so how can he know what's going on?

This time we came out, Cheng Zhijie was in charge of the security work, and these were all under his command.

The spy looked at Cheng Zhijie, not knowing how to answer.

Cheng Zhijie could only say quickly: "Then invite people over!"

Since it is said to be a small group, it must not be too many.

Please come over and it won't have any impact on safety. It's better to let His Majesty ask in person.

"Here!" The spy got the military order, took the people away, and soon brought them back.

There were probably thirty or forty people there, and they were said to be refugees, but they didn't have any looks on their faces.

It seems that at least there is no shortage of food.

However, when they were brought into such a team, the people surrounding them seemed to be either rich or noble dignitaries.

Each of these refugees looked terrified.

"Your Majesty, let me ask questions." Yan Kai said.

He was also curious as to why there were these refugees here. Logically speaking, this was already the boundary of Shanxi, and this area belonged to the East China Plain.

The land here is fertile and very suitable for planting. As long as there is land, no one will starve to death.

So it is difficult to meet refugees who have left their homes.

"Well, you go and ask what's going on. If there is a problem in the local area, I will not be lenient."

Li Shimin said with a dark face, usually this kind of situation occurs because of improper local management.

Yan Kai nodded, then walked to the refugees, and first said to the chamberlain beside him: "Arrange a clean tent."

"Yes!"

Although Yan Kai was a county magistrate, these servants did not dare to offend him.

Yan Kai then asked the refugees with a smile: "Look, it's almost lunch time. Have you guys eaten yet?"

Among the refugees, there was an old man who was the leader. He looked young and kind, and seemed a little different from the nobles.

The granddaughter next to him pulled the corner of his clothes again and looked at him pitifully.

Thinking that everyone had not eaten more than one grain of rice in a day, he still nodded.

Yan Kai led everyone into a large tent.

Because it was Yan Kai who wanted the big account, Li Daozong knew it and lent his own account directly.

Although he was not an extravagant prince, the splendor in it still made these refugees confused as to what to do.

"It's okay, just come in!" Yan Kai said with a gentle smile: "These are fakes. They were bought from street stalls in Kuoding County. They may seem expensive, but they may not be as good as the earthen Kangs at home. "

Then he stretched out and exclaimed softly: "Oh, I'm going home this time too. The gold and silver kennels are not as good as the kennel at home!"

Everyone relaxed a little after hearing what Yan Kai said was interesting.

Everyone was seated and food was served.

Yan Kai specially ordered that there be no fancy food, just a big bowl of white rice with salted vegetables and steamed meat on top.

The meat is both fat and lean, exuding an attractive aroma.

Just by smelling it, the refugees began to drool.

Especially the old man's little granddaughter, her eyes widened.

Yan Kai put a bowl of rice in front of her with a smile and motioned her to eat quickly.

The little girl glanced at her grandpa, and after receiving his nod, she pulled the bowl over and started to eat hungrily.

The other homeless people had also been hungry for more than a day, so they all took their bowls and started eating.

Yan Kai also thoughtfully asked someone to prepare vegetable soup.

These people have only been hungry for one day, unlike those who have been hungry for many days. If you give them too much food at once, you may starve them to death.

The old man probably had a small appetite. He finished the rice in the bowl first and did not add any more.

Then he looked at the rice bowl that still had some oil beads on it, poured the vegetable soup into it again, and drank it in one gulp.

"Thank you so much, sir!" After eating and drinking, the old man saluted Yan Kai respectfully.

"No need to be polite, I want to ask, where are you from? Why did you leave home?"

"It's flooded. It's flooded so much that our house can't even be flushed!"

After hearing the question, before the old man had time to answer, the little girl muttered with meat in her mouth.

"Flood? Are you saying you were hit by a flood?" Yan Kai's eyes widened.

In ancient times, the most feared thing besides man-made disasters was natural disasters.

If there is a flood, it is no small matter.

But since it was a flood, why didn't Li Shimin receive any news?

After asking where they came from, Yan Kai told them to have a good rest, and then hurried to find Li Shimin.
