The First Family of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2536: The 6th brother's crime is not fatal, bu

Yes, in history, why did Li Shimin choose Li Zhi instead of Li Tai to inherit the throne.

Because Li Shimin beheaded his own brother and his own younger brother, he was very afraid in his heart that his own tragedy would repeat itself on his own son.

And after the prince Li Chengqian who looked thin in clothes was abolished in historical time and space, Li Tai, His Royal Highness Wei Wang, was obvious to all that he was fat no matter whether he wore clothes or not.

She acted coquettishly to her own father, claiming that if she could inherit the great line, then after a hundred years, she would definitely chop off her own son.

Then pass on the position of emperor to his younger brother Li Zhi. After a short time, Li Jing left the mansion in a hurry, and the carriage was already prepared at the door.

After Li Jing boarded the carriage with the dying courier, amidst the sound of urging.

The carriage galloped quickly and headed towards the palace...

At this moment, Li Shimin was sitting upright in the Palace of Ganlu, where Fang Xuanling, Yu Shinan, Ma Zhou and others were also presenting to Li Shimin the situation of Tang's spring plowing today.

"Since this spring, the rainfall in Guanzhong, Jinyang, and Zhuozhou has been significantly less than in previous years, which is very unfavorable for spring plowing."

"A total of more than 70 counties in 15 states were involved, with 340,000 households and more than 2 million people."

"And Jiangnan..."

Listening to Fang Xuanling and others' report, Li Shimin's face became more and more serious, and after thinking about it for a long time, he said in a deep voice.

"It is best to raise money and food for disaster relief in various places in advance to avoid causing civil unrest. If there is not enough, they can be transferred from warehouses in Chang'an and Luoyang."

"As for the original conquest of Gaochang Kingdom, let's put it on hold for the time being. The first thing is to appease the people's livelihood."

"Your Majesty is holy..." Several ministers fell to the ground one after another, and saluted respectfully to this wise and wise Tang hero who loved the people like a son.

Li Shimin couldn't help smiling bitterly, and waved his hands.

"Hey... I have no choice but to let that little Qu Wentai from Gaochang be more arrogant."

"It's a pity. Although my Tang Dynasty is rich in the world, there is a worry of food shortage every year. Now that the imperial court is urging farming, it is difficult to increase the yield per mu."

Hearing Li Shimin's complaints, Fang Xuanling and the others felt helpless, but there was nothing they could do.

After all, the increase in yield per mu cannot be solved by just talking about it.

Nowadays, the most important thing for all states and counties in the Tang Dynasty is to ensure spring plowing. However, since the previous dynasty, the output per mu has been as much as the previous dynasty, and this dynasty is the same.

Food is the most important thing for the people, and growing food is a major national policy, and it has been in the past dynasties.

I don't know how many officials and talents who are proficient in farming are racking their brains to find ways to increase production and income, but with little success.

What's more, when natural disasters come, there will be no crops. In the past 20 years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it has happened from time to time.

Fortunately, the imperial court was able to transfer money and food in time, which prevented civil uprisings.

But even so, there will still be a large number of people whose families are destroyed and displaced because of the disaster.

An **** stepped into the back of the Ganlu Palace recklessly, saluted Li Shimin who was already frowning, and said sincerely and fearfully.

"Your Majesty, the Duke of Wei has an urgent matter. He asked to see His Majesty. He said that there was great news from the Dudu's Mansion in Jiaozhou."

"Extremely good news from Jiaozhou Governor's Mansion?" Several important ministers couldn't help but looked at each other in confusion.

The first reaction was that in all likelihood, the governor of Jiaozhou had a fight with someone and won the fight...

Yu Shinan stroked his long beard, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and whispered to Ma Zhou who was beside him.

"I remember that Gu Da, governor of Jiaozhou, seems to be Li Weigong's old subordinate."

"It seems that I, Tang Wu Ben, have made new achievements..." Ma Zhou shook his head dumbfounded.

Li Shimin listened to all the arguments of these important ministers, and it was undeniable that he also thought the same way.

"Please hurry up... I also want to know what kind of good news it is."

Li Jing took a deep breath, and took a look at the messenger standing beside him who looked nervous.

After comforting him with a pleasant face, he saw Zhao Kun strode outside the hall and bowed to him.

"The last general will see Wei Gong, Your Majesty, please..."

Li Jing nodded slightly towards Zhao Kun, and led the messenger into strides.

Entering the palace, after nodding to Yu, Fang, and Ma, he saluted respectfully to His Majesty.

He was supported by Li Shimin who got up and bypassed the case. "You don't need to be too polite, I wonder what kind of good news came from Jiaozhou?"

"Your Majesty, the 400-acre three-crop rice in Jiaozhou Dudu's Mansion was harvested in mid-February.

Gu Da, governor of Jiaozhou, sent a memorial of the good news, as well as the newly harvested rice and ears of rice..."

Fang Xuanchi, Ma Zhou, and Yu Shinan, who were still communicating in low voices, seemed to have been pressed the pause button.

The smile on Li Shimin's face also seemed to be petrified, and he looked at Li Jing in front of him without moving.

Seeing these people like this, Li Jing turned his head and looked at the messenger.

"Don't take out the three seasons of rice ears and rice that Du Dudu asked you to dedicate to His Majesty..."

The messenger, who had been lying on the ground and not daring to move, heard this, and hurriedly opened the long wooden box.

The several golden ears of rice that were exposed inside, and the two catties of golden rice, were also exposed to the eyes of the emperor of Tang Dynasty and several important officials.

"Middle of February..." Fang Xuanling stared straight at the golden rice.

I always feel that I have auditory hallucinations. In the middle of February, the willow tree has just sprouted, okay?

This is the spring when all things come back to life, and you **** tell me that the rice harvest has been bumper?

Li Shimin took the memorial handed over by Li Jing, read it carefully from beginning to end, but still couldn't believe it and shook his head.

"In February, we will be able to gain something..."

"Brother Yao, what do you call this kind of rice?"

Li Jing looked at this group of monarchs and ministers who had not recovered from their crooked mouths and squinted eyes, and couldn't help but add a little surprise to them.

"This rice is called Sanji Rice, which means that this kind of rice can be harvested three seasons a year."

"One year! Three seasons!" Ma Zhou's eyeballs bulged, and UU Reading www.uukanshu.com raised one finger on his right hand and three fingers on his left.

Just looking straight at Li Jing, Li Jing nodded, and pointed to the Annunciation Memorial that was still held by Li Shimin.

"Gu Da, the governor of Jiaozhou, wrote it clearly. How dare he deceive the king for such a big matter?"

#####

"One year, three seasons...God, is this old man confused?"

Yu Shinan clutched his heart, his face turned a little pale.

Ma Zhou on the side couldn't help but turn pale with shock. "Mr. Yu, Mr. Yu, are you alright?"

The elderly Yu Laoqing took a few deep breaths, and then his face became slightly rosy, and he regained his strength.

"Your Majesty, can rice really mature three times a year?"

"???"
