"How could it be, how could it be like this? A gold coin can only buy half a bucket of rice?"

After listening to Fan Meng's words, Li Shimin realized what kind of chaos the current Tang Dynasty has become.

If he hadn't listened to Li Chengfeng's words this time, and Weifu went out to visit the folks, I'm afraid Li Shimin would still think so.

These 100,000 gold coins are at least enough for the people of the entire Chang'an City to eat for a month?

Unexpectedly, it would be difficult to survive even three days?

It's not that there is less gold, but that there is less food, which makes the price of food extremely expensive, even more expensive than gold.

Li Shimin looked at Fan Meng and said, "Miss Boss, how much did we spend last night?"

"Reporting to the emperor, the little girl dare not accept your money!"

Fan Meng said respectfully.

Li Shimin waved his sleeves and shouted: "Don't make me useless, I'll just ask how the prices are now? How much did we spend on the meal we ate last night?"

"Reporting to the emperor, the total is 58 gold!"

"What? 58 gold?"

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment.

Just ordered a meat dish, a few ingredients, and a bucket of rice, and it cost 58 gold?

What's the difference between this and robbery?

In the past, eating this meal could not consume a few pieces of silver. Now, is the unit of measurement of the price calculated in gold?

"Ugh…"

But now is a special time, and Li Shimin can't say anything, so he can only sigh helplessly!

"Your majesty, the little girl has already prepared breakfast for you, because you are the emperor, so you can rest assured that the little girl will not charge any fees from the emperor!"

Fan Meng continued.

Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "I don't want to eat, I have no appetite! You still have to pay the money that should be paid, you should record it in the account book first, and then I will let Wei Zheng pay the bill! Because I will stay here for a few more days !"

"Well, the little girl thanked the emperor!"

…

Soon, after breakfast, Li Shimin called Li Chengfeng, Wei Zheng and others to go to Taixiang Village to see what was going on.

Can there be a phenomenon of cannibalism?

"Your Majesty, the so-called troublemakers come out of poor mountains and evil waters. The veteran feels that you should take the guards with you and set off together. The body of the dragon is important!"

On Chang'an Avenue, Wei Zheng spoke.

But Li Shimin shook his head and said: "I am visiting in a micro-service today. Do you know what a micro-service visit is? That is, pretending to be a commoner, blending into the life of the common people, and experiencing the real state of the people's livelihood! If you call the guards , what's the point?"

"This is the emperor, the old minister is talking too much!"

But in fact, Wei Zheng was also thinking of Li Shimin.

What if the unscrupulous people see that Li Shimin and others are fat and fat, and they are so hungry that they eat them directly?

It has to be said that Wei Zheng's imagination is still very rich.

…

"Feng'er, what do you think about the phenomenon of cannibalism in Taixiang Village?"

Li Shimin threw this heavy question to Li Chengfeng.

Li Chengfeng said: "I think, when a person is extremely hungry, has a strong desire to survive, and lacks food, he will really eat people!"

"Um?"

"Ding, panic from Li Shimin, naughty value +100!"

"Ding, fear from Wei Zheng, naughty value +90!"

Although neither Li Shimin nor Wei Zheng spoke, Li Chengfeng could feel that they must have been frightened.

However, such things as cannibalism have been studied in the 21st century.

For example, when a group of people are trapped in an island or snow-capped mountains, some people will really do such things in order to survive.

So Li Chengfeng wasn't lying.

"How long will it take for this **** weather to recover?"

Li Shimin actually started to scold God?

But it's only August, which is the hottest season of the year.

If you want to end the drought, you have to wait until the end of summer and the arrival of winter, maybe the lives of the people will gradually improve.

…

Along the way, Wei Zheng asked several passers-by about the whereabouts of Taixiang Village.

Li Chengfeng, Li Shimin and his party walked for half an hour before arriving at a relatively dilapidated village.

Originally, Li Shimin planned to let Wu Xu and Li Lizhi stay in the West Chamber Pavilion.

But he was also afraid that something might happen to the two little girls, so Li Shimin took them with him.

"Could the disaster be so serious that people cannibalize people? Hmph, I don't believe it, Wei Zheng, Feng'er, come with me to this village called Taixiang Village!"

"It's the emperor!"

"Good father!"

…

After Li Shimin and Li Chengfeng walked into Taixiang Village together, several villagers stared at them with straight eyes.

The people who watched were horrified.

Both Li Lizhi and Wu Xu couldn't help shrinking behind Li Chengfeng.

"Aristocrats are coming, everyone, look, rich people are coming to our village!"

"Yeah, just looking at their looks and clothes, you can tell that they must be very rich!"

"But what's the use of having money these days? One gold can't buy a bucket of rice~lightnovelpub.net~ If the emperor doesn't distribute food, I'm afraid the people all over the world will starve to death!"

Hearing what the villagers said, Li Shimin couldn't help but frowned tightly.

It seems that the disaster has reached a serious level.

Later, Li Shimin came to a little boy and said, "Little baby, do you have water in your house? Can you give me an excuse to drink water?"

The child raised his head and looked at Li Shimin with a face full of fear.

The people on the side spoke again, saying: "The rich man went to Heiwazi's house, my God, how dare he go to Heiwa's house? Heiwa's mother died, and it is said that he was eaten by his family !"

"Huh? Cannibalism? Is it so scary?"

"Of course it's true. Someone saw it with their own eyes that day! We are all eating grass roots, but Heiwa's family is eating meat? What a big arm, just put it in the pot to cook..."

"Oh, that's terrible, I get goosebumps all over my body!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, if these rich people don't leave here quickly, I'm afraid they will suffer!"

The villagers of Taixiang Village began to discuss again.

Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but shrink his pupils, and Li Chengfeng was also stunned.

According to the legend, the cannibalism incident in Taixiang Village spread among the people is what happened in this little boy's family?

Hei Wa looked at Li Shimin, Li Chengfeng and the others with terrified eyes, and then looked terrified at the villagers who were watching him.

Hei Wa's eyes were full of helplessness, he seemed to want to cry, but he couldn't!

A sharp look flashed across Li Shimin's eyes, and he said, "Little baby, I want to ask, can I ask for a sip of water at your house?"
