Datang Live Room

Chapter 420 Taizong’s private visit in private (Part )

"What? You said there was a flood in Weizhou?"

Li Shimin was also stunned after hearing this.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Li Mi changed Wuyang County to Weizhou.

In the fourth year of Emperor Wude's reign in the Tang Dynasty, the general administration office was again set up for Weizhou.

In the Song Dynasty, it was renamed Beijing Daming Mansion.

The famous Yanggu County and Liangshan in Water Margin are located in this area.

Liangshan is also called Shuibo Liangshan. The water system resources in this area can be said to be quite developed.

"Yes, I heard that it rained overnight and the river burst its banks, then washed away the fields and houses. They had no choice but to leave."

"Damn it!" Li Shimin slapped the table: "Call the officials to come over. Whose place is Weizhou?"

Since the locust plagues in previous years, the imperial court has introduced various measures to deal with natural disasters.

Therefore, although the weather in Datang has not been smooth in recent years, there have been frequent natural disasters such as floods and droughts.

But because the entire country has sufficient food and has responded appropriately, such things rarely happen anymore.

Li Shimin was furious, and soon the officials came.

After hearing what happened, Gao Shilian, the Minister of Civil Affairs, said: "The governor of Weizhou is Liu Min now, and the magistrate of Cheng'an County where the flood occurred should be Wang Shang."

After speaking, he hesitated and said: "Wang Shangshi has been the magistrate of Cheng'an County since the twelfth year of Daye. When our Tang army passed by, he opened the city and dedicated it. Later, the Emperor allowed him to continue to serve in Cheng'an County."

"I heard that this person..."

"No need to say any more!" Li Shimin interrupted Gao Shilian: "Go directly to Cheng'an County."

"Your Majesty, since there is a flood in Cheng'an County, I'm afraid the roads will be difficult to travel..."

Someone said something on the side, and Li Shimin glared at him.

"The people have all walked here from Cheng'an, so we can't leave even if they leave?"

Li Shimin had said so, and no one dared to say anything more. They could only pass on the order and slightly change the route towards Cheng'an County.

This place is still more than a hundred miles away from Cheng'an County, but Li Shimin was furious, so he asked the large army to follow slowly. He only took Qingqi, Yan Kai and a few others to go ahead.

"Oops, it looks like the magistrate of Cheng'an County is going to be in bad luck!"

"The anchor is showing us Taizong's private interview in private!"

"Yes, yes, anchor, please remind Erfeng. If you rush into Cheng'an County with such a big fanfare, you won't be able to find anything even if there is something waiting for you to fall."

The netizens in the live broadcast room naturally watch the excitement and are not afraid of big troubles, and they constantly give Yan Kai ideas on the barrage.

Yan Kai thought it was reasonable, so he told Li Shimin about it.

Li Shimin nodded and said, "I was angry just now. It's really inappropriate for us to go to Weizhou like this."

First, he found a county town and bought some ordinary clothes, and then bought a few ordinary carriages, pretending to be an ordinary caravan.

"Then I will call you Mr. Li?" Yan Kai said jokingly: "I can't call you His Majesty anymore in front of outsiders, right?"

"Second Master Li?" Li Shimin didn't think there was anything wrong with this name. He was the second oldest, so there was nothing wrong with his surname being Li, Second Master Li. Just because of his face and smile, I always felt that there was something in his words!

Little did he know that Yan Kai always called him Li Er in his heart!

"Okay, just call me Mr. Li!"

A total of more than thirty people were left behind. Li Shimin pretended to be the caravan boss, and Yan Kai pretended to be the caravan accountant, and continued to move towards Weizhou.

After walking for a while, he saw some refugees again. Yan Kai took prepared food and distributed it to the refugees. After asking around, he found out that they were all from Cheng'an County.

I planned to go to Weizhou Prefecture. I heard that a resettlement point had been set up there, so I went there to settle down first.

Li Shimin was already angry at this time, and just sneered and said: "It seems that Cheng'an County is not simple!"

Everyone knew that what he said was ironic, so they didn't dare to answer the question at this time, so they could only bury their heads in the road.

When we arrived outside Weizhou City, we saw that there were quite a few settlement sites here.

Li Shimin didn't say anything and walked over directly.

Others can only keep up.

It's not yet dinner time, and several large pots are cooking porridge there.

Li Shimin took a look and asked: "When you scoop up this gruel, half of the bowl will be rice soup. How can you keep it full?"

The porridge cook was probably an old woman hired by the state government. When she saw Li Shimin, she smiled bitterly and said, "This one said it easily. Don't we need rice to cook the porridge? All these porridges were borrowed by the governor from various wealthy families!" "

"You still want to borrow grain from the rich households in the city?" Li Shimin frowned: "Where is the Changpingcang in Weizhou?"

The old lady sighed and said: "It rained all night, and the Changping Granary was in disrepair for a long time. It collapsed. Some of the grain inside was taken out, but more of it was soaked in water and became moldy."

Li Shimin almost wanted to curse. Can this Chang Ping Cang collapse?

What did the governor of Weizhou do for food?

"Second Master Li!" Yan Kai shouted softly from the side and gave him a look.

Li Shimin is not someone who gets angry easily. He just stayed in Chang'an City for a long time.

The reports below were all about peace and prosperity for the country and the people, but as soon as he left Chang'an City, he encountered such a situation.

This made him feel that he was deceived by the people below, so he was so angry.

Suppressing his anger, Li Shimin asked: "Do you know where your governor is?" #34;

The old woman gave Li Shimin a strange look. It seemed that this man was from out of town, and he actually asked his governor as soon as he arrived.

"My lord has gone to the neighboring state capital to borrow food."

"Borrow food?"

"Yes, you have also seen that the porridge is so thin that it is only enough for three days. If we can't borrow more food, I'm afraid we won't be able to drink this kind of porridge." The old woman was a little impatient. : "It seems you are not here to drink porridge, so don't stop here. Dinner will be served soon."

"you……"

Li Zhong, who was following Li Shimin, took a step forward and dared to be disrespectful to His Majesty.

But Yan Kai stopped him again.

"If you need food here, we can donate some." Yan Kai said.

Hearing what Yan Kai said, the old woman immediately smiled.

"That's a good feeling! This little brother can see a courtyard about 300 meters from this direction. Go there to find the scribe of the state government. How much you have donated will be recorded. When the disaster is over, in our Wei Dynasty If you do business in the state, the governor will give you convenience."

Yan Kai was stunned, this Weizhou governor was a bit interesting.

Li Shimin took Yan Kai and the others away, and then whispered: "Li Zhong, send someone to the city to quietly inquire about the reputation of the Weizhou governor."

That old woman works with the governor, so you may not get accurate answers if you ask her.

It would be more reliable to ask the Weizhou people in the city.
