This iron ore has a lot of background, and it produces a lot of iron every year.

He followed Li Yuan from the beginning, and then fell into Li Shimin's hands.

This was originally the property of the richest men in the courts before the Sui Dynasty, referred to as the "Chaebol Group".

How terrifying were those chaebol powers at that time? Together, they directly forced the Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty to abdicate, and then pushed a more honest Li Yuan to the throne.

At that time, Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, was afraid of the power of these "plutocrats", so he asked them to pay for the digging of the Grand Canal to disperse their financial resources.

Then send them to the frontier to fight and disperse their military power.

Only then did Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty suffer from the "chaebol" who forced him into the palace.

However, Li Yuan is actually a shrewd person. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan was also subtly consuming the power of the chaebols. Today, the families left behind by the chaebols have almost been wiped out by Li Yuan and Li Shimin.

Of course, this does not mean that those families have no money.

For example, the Changsun family is a super big family on the surface, but their family strength and financial resources have been weakened by Li Shimin, but the camels that die are bigger than horses. The second largest family outside.

The reason why the Great Tang was so powerful was because during the Sui Dynasty, too many materials were left behind and given to the royal family of the Great Tang.

For example: now Li Shimin's treasury still stores grain from the Sui Dynasty.

But because of the recent severe drought, Li Shimin also distributed these grains to the people of Datang to eat, and until now, there is not much left.

If the weather is not good, and there will be another few years of severe drought and natural disasters within the flood, I am afraid that Datang will not be able to survive for a few more years!

Li Shimin is not poor, but because he is frugal, he pretends to be poor.

And Li Yuan also knew how much money was left over from the Sui Dynasty?

How many heroes and generals are left behind?

Not to mention anything else, just Li Jing, Li Ji, and Li Cunxiao, these three generals surnamed Li, if you take any one out, they are all the founding generals of all countries in the past.

In addition, there are generals such as Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde, and Cheng Yaojin. Which one of these people is not a dragon and phoenix among people?

In other dynasties, they are all among the best warriors.

Moreover, the civil servants of the Tang Dynasty were even more powerful. As the saying goes: If you study martial arts but don't study literature, you will be in vain as a member of the Tang Dynasty. Learning literature but not martial arts is a two hundred and five.

The prosperous Tang Dynasty was a very open dynasty with both civil and military skills.

Therefore, if the people in this dynasty have made progress in thinking, then the whole country will also progress accordingly.

But unfortunately, human beings are still too small in the face of natural disasters.

The money and food that Li Shimin hoarded in the treasury were actually a plan for a rainy day.

He couldn't move a single bit of the secretly sealed food, even if the people were starving to death, he couldn't move it.

Because the last food was for the soldiers on the frontier of the Tang Dynasty.

Because when the last granary is opened, it is the time when Turks, Tubo, Goguryeo and other countries invade the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty is like this, so their country is not much better.

So they will definitely covet the fertile soil of Datang and attack Datang.

At this time, Li Shimin needs to open the last granary to the soldiers on the frontier, so that they will be full and have the strength to go to the battlefield to defend the glory and territory of the country.

So I have to say that Li Shimin's political approach is very solid and tenacious.

This can also prove why the Tang Dynasty that Li Shimin was working on was called the prosperous age of Kaiyuan!

…

In the blink of an eye, three days passed again.

The time has finally come to September.

September is already autumn.

It stands to reason that this is a harvest season, but the common people are miserable.

Because it doesn't rain in the sky, the people in the entire Tang Dynasty are considered to have no harvest.

Even though some people planted some crops, they were dried to death because of lack of water, and some people even died of starvation or sunburn when they went out to do farm work.

And when Li Shimin went to court, he was heartbroken when he heard the news.

But what can be done? Man-made disasters can still be resolved, but this is a natural disaster. How can natural disasters be resolved? I can only light incense, worship God, open my eyes to God, let it rain.

Li Shimin has already removed the food tax pressure on the farmers, but this still cannot solve the problem of starvation.

Therefore, the treasury's granary is also in and out at the moment.

Seeing the loss of the national treasury day by day, Li Shimin felt uncomfortable.

But so what? Li Shimin is just a mortal, can't he invite the Dragon King to make it rain? Therefore, Li Shimin only had to pin all his hopes on Master Shikong.

Li Shimin hoped that Master Shikong could perform a ritual ceremony for the people of the entire Tang Dynasty and make it rain.

Master Shikong also vowedly agreed.

Master Shikong said that he couldn't guarantee that it would rain, but he would definitely catch some evil spirits to come out!

Sure enough, Master Shikong actually caught a weasel after he finished a ritual?

Master Shikong immediately pointed at the weasel and shouted: "Drought plague rat demon, I will let you go today, let you stay away from Tang Dynasty quickly, and ask you to invite the Dragon King to stop the rain!"

"mix!"

After finishing speaking, the weasel immediately ran away.

Seeing this, Li Shimin was immediately overjoyed~lightnovelpub.net~ and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty also widened their wise eyes.

Even Li Lizhi couldn't help applauding, applauding Master Shikong present.

However, Li Chengfeng said: "It's just a trick!"

Li Liqi frowned in confusion, looked at Li Chengfeng, and said, "Brother Feng'er, I think that Master Shikong seems to have some skills, did we misunderstand him before?"

"Misunderstanding? Hmph, this weasel was obviously injured, and was caught and hid behind a stone by the old thief Shikong! After the old thief Shikong finished his ritual, he grabbed the weasel from behind the stone!"

"It's just a trick to deceive people, but it's fooling you all around! Sigh... I don't even know what to say!"

"Ding, it's from Li Lizhi's surprise, naughty value +66!"

Li Chengfeng shrugged helplessly.

Li Lizhi had an incredible expression on her face.

Li Li said: "No way, Brother Feng'er, but why do I feel that Master Shikong seems to be really powerful?"

"Very powerful? That's all pretended! Otherwise, how could he steal meat?"

"Well, Brother Feng'er, you are right. Anyway, I will guard against Master Shikong in the future and prevent him from approaching important places in the palace!"

"Well, it's the best way to do this!"
