Li Shimin's expression did not escape Shu An's gaze, but this time it was Shu An's turn to be confused. Is there any problem with Li Shimin?

But if Li Shimin didn't say it, Shu An wouldn't ask. Naturally, he had no intention of asking for trouble. After all, he was not the master of the Tang Dynasty.

"I wonder how long will Yafu need to help these refugees?"

After a long time, Li Shimin said with a little flushing on his face, but his expression soon disappeared.

Shu An couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on his face. He didn't seem to expect Li Shimin to ask this question, but he soon understood.

Li Shimin was considering himself. Shu'an learned from Du Ruhui that Li Shimin had mobilized food from various places as early as the beginning.

It’s just that I feel a lot of pressure to transport food to Chang'an for a while, so I ask this question.

"Shimin, even if I can't answer this question, refugees are not going to change. It may be five days, or ten days."

Shu An said slowly with his eyes flashing. Naturally, he would not say how much food he had saved, but instead gave an ambiguous answer.

However, Li Shimin nodded and agreed with his father's statement. Now, the hundreds of thousands of refugees are worth hundreds of stones of food a day.

The number of refugees in the future is still rising. Before he came, he knew that most of the people in the pass were heading south, and speculated that the number of refugees might exceed 300,000.

By that time, you will need thousands of stones of food a day, and in ten days, you will be tens of thousands of stones. Even Chang'an rice merchants cannot take it out immediately.

"At least five days left."

Li Shimin thought silently in his heart that he didn't stay for long afterwards. It was obvious that he was studying ways to increase the treasury and discussing the feasibility.

Shu'an didn't say much about Li Shimin's departure, but his eyes flashed a little, and the treasury had some spare money.

Not to mention the savings in the previous year, Shu'an also remembers that Li Shimin paid to redeem children for some people and restored the families whose families were destroyed.

Nowadays, the people can still survive, so they don’t have much business, and Li Shimin is obviously here to cry for poverty.

Of course, the purpose is that he said a little too much last time and was missed. Apart from this reason, Shu An could not think of any other reason.

"It's a good thing to be moved!"

Shu An whispered softly, obviously Li Shimin was moved by the cultivation of a straight road leading to the outside of the pass.

Although the whole process didn't say anything, Shu An knew that all this was preparing for this straight path.

Even though the project was less than one-tenth of the Grand Canal, the Great Sui Dynasty was at its peak at that time.

The Tang Dynasty has a much smaller population now, and even the entire economic state is in a mess. The war has just been away from it for a few years and is in a state of rest and recuperation.

Shu An was filled with thoughts and a ray of light appeared on his face. He proposed this matter. If he did not get some benefits from it, it would not be in line with his personality.

At least, let the refugees know who gives them a way out. This is related to his next layout. It is not that easy to get the path of sages in one step.

Even Shu An can only go step by step. Fortunately, as the saying goes, the beginning is the most difficult, and he has already taken the first step.

On the other hand, after Li Shimin returned to the palace, he began to send hundreds of horses to investigate the situation of the city tax. As for refugees, he only sent Chang'an's imperial guards to maintain order.

After all, even though this is more than 100,000 refugees, even Li Shimin dared not relax for a moment.

Li Shimin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, as it seemed that the expenses in his palace would also be reduced.

Before, because of the large income of the teahouse and the food in Shufu, Li Shimin couldn't help but raise the standards in the palace.

Now, Li Shimin only has these refugees in his eyes, and he still has self-control over this.

But I still have to discuss with Guanyin maid first to see what else is cut in the palace.

A palace

"Mother, my father hasn't come to see Lizhi recently."

"Lizhi, your father has been busy with things in the pass recently."

"But my father didn't let Lizhi leave the palace, and Lizhi wanted to go to the academy to see her fourth brother."

.....

When Li Shimin approached, he could not help but hear the mother-daughter conversation coming from inside. He couldn't help but stop, with a look of guilt on his face, but he soon disappeared.

At this time, Queen Changsun had a hint of helplessness because she naturally heard about what happened in Chang'an.

Including the previous incident of Yafu, although she remained silent, it did not mean she was not concerned. Fortunately, her father did not lose much in the end, but instead she became more famous.

As for the ability to predict the secrets of heaven, it was not surprising in Queen Changsun's eyes. Because she had been in contact with Yafu for a long time, she had already become accustomed to it.

However, Chang'an refugees are said to be quite large. His Majesty must have forbidden Lizhi from leaving the palace because he was afraid of any damage to Lizhi.

However, in the face of this situation, even Empress Changsun could do nothing, let alone that she also agreed with His Majesty's view.

She had experienced wars but knew how amazing the destructive power would be if a refugee had no hope.

At this moment, Li Shimin finally walked in, which made the mother and daughter stunned, but then they reacted one after another.

"See Your Majesty!"

"Have you met my father!"

After the two voices sounded, a gentle voice sounded above Li Shimin's face.

"No need to be polite."

"And Li Qi, my father can bring you with me next time he leaves the palace."

Li Shimin has a lot of love for his daughter. Although he forbids Li Zhi from leaving the palace, he couldn't help feeling a little relaxed when he heard this resentment.

"Thank you, Father!"

After the words were finished, a hint of happiness appeared on Li Zhi's delicate little face.

Empress Changsun, who was standing beside her, gave Li Shimin a blank look, obviously blaming her for indulging in the lizhi.

"I don't know what happened to Your Majesty?"

However, Empress Changsun's voice also sounded. You should know that Li Shimin has been in the imperial study for a while and has not been to the harem for several days.

In addition, the refugee affairs have not been resolved, so it is impossible to be busy with other things, so there must be something going on in the harem.

This time, Li Shimin had a look of guilt on his face, and then he told the whole thing again, including talking to Yafu, without hiding it.
