Chapter 292 At the critical moment, the virtuous brother is really powerful
Seeing what His Majesty sitting above said, he looked displeased.
Changsun Wuji, who was standing aside, could only sigh helplessly.
Clan clans are deeply rooted and disrupting the Tang Dynasty, but what can be done even so?
The so-called pulling a hair and affecting the whole body is not something that people like them can do whatever they want.
Thinking of this, I raised my head and looked at His Majesty.
"It's just the auxiliary machine. I don't think about this anymore. Now that I have my good brother, he is a member of the clan and will not be a problem in the end. What do you think?"
Changsun Wuji nodded solemnly. Now that Mr. Zhao is here, he will definitely help His Majesty to completely settle the clan affairs.
"By the way, Your Majesty, news has also come from Chang'an City, saying that some of the students who came to Beijing to take the exam have already moved into Chang'an."
Li Er looked at the time and saw that there were really a lot of things going on this year.
If this is the case, another decree will be issued to directly determine the date of the scientific examination for everyone.
In this way, everyone is mentally prepared in advance.
This time, it is directly scheduled for the end of summer and early autumn, and all students are required to gather in Chang'an City to register two days before the exam day.
They will be given identity cards then and wait until the day of the imperial examination arrives.
They can then take their ID cards to the designated location to take the exam!
"It's Your Majesty."
Although this year is an eventful year, the imperial examination must be held as scheduled. No one can stop their desire to recruit talents from all over the world.
"It is His Majesty's humble minister who takes the order."
"Okay, you go and deal with the food and grass issue first, and make sure to stabilize the victims.
Even if my palace is cutting back on food and clothing, we still have to help these people."
"Your Majesty, just Your Majesty, who is from the Kong family?"
"Forget it, the Kong family members can come if they come. Is it possible that I'm still afraid that they, the Kong family members, won't succeed?"
Changsun Wuji saluted again.
He knew that His Majesty was definitely not afraid of the Kong family, but he was worried if the Kong family said some disrespectful words.
Who knows whether His Majesty will chop off all their heads in a fit of anger?
Thinking of this, I thought again, Your Majesty would not be like this. Otherwise, Wei Zheng, the old man, has criticized Your Majesty so many times in the court, and now he has become His Majesty's confidant?
A sneeze, a sneeze, a sneeze.
Wei Zheng, who was resting at home, suddenly sneezed three times, rubbed his nose, and thought to himself, who is talking about me?
If he were to know that his eldest grandson Wuji actually compared himself with that member of the Kong family, he would definitely be furious.
Can the people of the Kong family compare with me?
I am the official of the court, and the things that the official does are for the sake of the court and the people of the world.
Not only did he say it, but he also did it, unlike those of the Kong family who only said it but never did it.
Changsun Wuji left, and Li Er sat on a chair and rubbed his forehead.
These things are really annoying.
That's all, if you persist, all the people in the world will tighten their belts, and the matter will be over.
"Brother Xian, are you busy?"
After staying in Chang'an for two days, Li Er took a carriage and rushed to Zhaojiazhuang, ready to relax here.
Hearing the news every day in Chang'an City made my head feel big.
But why is it that every time I come to Zhaojiazhuang, I can relieve the fatigue of these days?
"Hey, let me tell you, Lao Li, why do you have two dark circles in your eyes?
You look exhausted after staying up so many nights, what happened?"
"Brother, this year's drought is not to blame.
We grain merchants are also collecting grain, but you don’t know that those clans have monopolized the grain.
The Holy One is also worried today. He has given us such an important task so that we can prepare more food.
Money is also purchased at market prices, but even so, there is still a shortage of food.
In many places, people do not have enough food and can only eat wheat chaff. Thinking of this, I, Lao Li, just feel heartbroken."
After hearing what he said, Zhao Mu shook his head.
In fact, this is sometimes the case. When a major disaster occurs, the disaster is not necessarily the most terrible.
Some man-made disasters are often a hundred or a thousand times more terrible than disasters.
Because that's all human nature.
"Master, all the grain stored in our granary from three years ago has been cleared out. I will go and make arrangements first."
As he spoke, the butler stood up and prepared to leave.
I have been to his Zhaojiazhuang so many times, and this is the first time I heard my brother talk about their food and grass.
His butler went to make arrangements. What arrangements were there?
With that, Li Er stood up and called the housekeeper!
"Xian brother, you said that the food has been arranged, but where are you going to arrange the food?
How much grain does Zhuangzi have in total? And where is it arranged?"
"Back to Shopkeeper Li, according to past practice, we will send people to transport these grains to Chang'an City for sale.
The main accumulation is some surplus grain from two years ago. Every year we use this method to clear out a large amount of surplus grain.
After the harvest this autumn, the new grain will be stored.
This way we will have new food to eat every year, and those will only be used as backup!”
this?
"Steward, how much is your Zhuangzi prepared to handle?"
"If we were to plan everything, we would have to have hundreds of carriages at least.
At that time, they will all be transported to Chang'an in batches and sold directly in Chang'an City. There are so many people buying them that basically they are all sold out."
Isn’t it true that I am short of food? Isn’t this coming?
"Hey, dear brother, don't sell it, don't sell it. How much is it? I, Lao Li, bought it all.
I just said that I'm short of food and you need to clear it now. It's really better to come early than to come by chance.
That steward, I want all that food."
"Master?"
"Then sell it to him."
"Thank you, dear brother."
Li Er knew that if these grains were transported to Chang'an City for sale, they would definitely be purchased directly by those big families.
Only a little bit of it actually got into the hands of the people.
Although the food for these hundreds of carriages is only a drop in the bucket for the people in the world.
However, based on the principle that flies are still meat even though they are small, and all the grain is used, Li Er directly purchased all the grain.
"I'm telling you, Lao Li, you don't have to be like this!"
Li Er is so smart, how can he not know what the wise brother means?
I saw him shaking his head.
"Brother, you don't understand this!"
The two people have different ideas on this aspect. One is that the emperor considers the people of the world.
Although a person with modern ideas has traveled to ancient times, he will not think much about it due to his identity.
The ideal is just to guard one-third of an acre of land.
Just make your life comfortable.
If there is a natural disaster or man-made disaster, just think about using your own money and food as a child to spread wealth and pay attention to the world.
Speaking of which, I am not an emperor, so why do I do such thankless things?
If these things go too far and the people come after hearing the news, and Li Er finds out about it, they will not be able to explain the matter clearly.
Although I am not afraid of trouble, I don't want to cause trouble either.
You can be happy here leisurely, can't you?
This matter was due to the different ideas between the two people, so Li Er didn't say much.
Because he knows that his wise brother is actually a good person!
Zhao Mu didn't expect that he would be given a good person card by him.
Otherwise, why would you say this again and again to help the court?
It's just that he didn't help the people prepare food. Is it possible that because of this small thing, he said that the wise brother is a bad person? This is too unfair to him!
Zhao Mu...
Both parties signed and pledged their names, and made preparations for the food matter.
I came to Zhaojiazhuang today, originally to relax and unwind, but who knew I had prepared hundreds of trucks of food.
Once you have these grains, send them out together to alleviate the situation of the people!
“Brother Xian, I don’t know when this damn drought will end completely.
This has been going on for such a long time, it feels like every day is like a year!”
“When the drought will end, it’s not something we and other human beings can predict.
When it ends, it will end naturally!"
Li Er said, Brother Xian, there is actually no difference between what you said and what you didn’t say.
After having a delicious meal in Zhaojiazhuang that night, he left Zhaojiazhuang early the next morning and returned to Chang'an City. He arranged for Changsun Wuji to personally assign people and go directly to Zhaojiazhuang to prepare food.
At that time, people will be sent directly to the disaster area for transportation.
I was just waiting for his eldest son, Sun Wuji, to come back in one day, but the auxiliary machine didn't come back for the whole day.
It wasn’t until the afternoon of the second day that we arrived at the palace.
"Auxiliary engine, you just got some grain, and it took you so long?"
"Your Majesty, it's not that the minister came back too late, it's because there is too much food in Zhaojiazhuang.
Wei Chen took a look and saw that the grain they had stored in Zhaojiazhuang could hold more than 7,000-10,000 carriages at least.
Originally, His Majesty was sent by Wei Chen to prepare hundreds of carriages, but finally relied on Wei Chen's sharp tongue.
In addition to the grain for hundreds of carriages, more than 1,500 carriages of grain were purchased.
Your Majesty has too many things, not enough carriages, and not enough manpower.
It's just that I didn't report to Your Majesty that he took the decision without permission, and asked Your Majesty to punish him."
"Hahahaha, okay, auxiliary engine, you have made a great contribution, how can I punish you?
Oops, this good brother of mine is really a big dog!"
"Master!"
The housekeeper has passed all the news to Zhao Mu.
Without the permission of my young master, the housekeeper cannot agree to your talk.
I heard that they have already pulled so many carriages, and they are thinking of buying more.
I have enough grain reserves. These grains are processed every year anyway. If so, I should process more and sell them all to him, Lao Li, at the market price.
With more than 2,000 carriages of food, it not only solves an urgent need.
"Auxiliary engine, then why are you standing still? Why don't you hurry up and arrange for the carriage to go over?"
"Yes, your majesty will arrange a carriage right now!"
Changsun Wuji left the palace again and immediately arranged for people to go to Zhaojiazhuang to load and unload food.
Ignore him for now, transport all the food out of Zhaojiazhuang first.
It would be too eye-catching to place it in Chang'an City, so I asked people to put it in Lantian County first.
In the past few days, carriages have been coming and going between Lantian County and Zhaojiazhuang.
Until these more than 2,000 carriages, all the grain was transported to Lantian County, and then people transported the grain from Lantian County to the surrounding areas.
Hearing that they had arranged all the food, Li Er directly extended his thumb.
"At this critical moment, my dear brother, you are really powerful." This chapter has been completed!
