Li Shimin's expression did not escape Shu An's gaze, but this time it was Shu An's turn to wonder, did Li Shimin still have any problems.

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

"I wonder how long Father will have to help these refugees?"

After a long time, Li Shimin's face was a little red, but soon the expression on his face quickly disappeared.

Shu An's face couldn't help but show a trace of astonishment, as if he didn't expect Li Shimin to ask this question, but he soon understood.

Li Shimin was thinking about himself, and Shu An learned from Du Ruhui that Li Shimin had mobilized food from all over the country as early as the beginning.

It's just that there is a lot of pressure to transport grain to Chang'an for a while, so this question will be asked.

"Shimin, even if I can't answer this question, it's not that refugees won't change, maybe five days, maybe ten days."

Shu An's eyes flickered and he said slowly, he naturally would not say how much food he had saved, but gave an ambiguous answer.

However, Li Shimin nodded in agreement with his father's statement, and now there are 100,000 refugees, which is a few hundred stones of food a day.

The number of refugees is still rising, and he knew before he came that most of the people in the customs have gone south, and he guessed that the number of refugees may exceed 300,000.

At that time, it will cost thousands of stones of grain a day, and ten days will be tens of thousands of stones, even Chang'an rice merchants will not be able to take it out immediately for a while.

"At least five days left."

Li Shimin thought silently in his heart, and then did not stay long, obviously to study the way to increase the treasury and discuss the feasibility.

And Shu An also didn't say much about Li Shimin's departure, but his eyes flickered, and the treasury had some money to spare.

Not to mention the savings of the previous year, as well as history, Shu An remembers that Li Shimin paid for the redemption of children for some people, so that those broken families could recover.

Now because the people can still live, there are not many children to buy and sell, and Li Shimin is obviously here to cry poor.

Of course, the purpose is that the last time he said a little too much, he was remembered, and Shu An couldn't think of any other reason besides this one reason.

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

Shu An muttered softly, obviously Li Shimin was tempted to build a straight road to the outside of the pass.

Although he didn't say anything during the whole process, Shu An knew that all this was in preparation for this straight road.

Even if the project was only less than one-tenth of the Grand Canal, the Great Sui was in its heyday at that time.

The current population of Datang is much smaller, and even the entire economic state is a mess, and the war has just been away for a few years, and it is in a state of recuperation.

Shu An's thoughts were scattered, and there was a glimmer of light on his face, this matter was brought up by him, if he didn't get some benefits from it, it would not be in line with his character.

At least let the refugees know who gave them a way to live, this is related to his next layout, and it is not so easy for the sage path to be done in one step.

Even Shu An can only take it step by step, but fortunately, as the saying goes, the beginning is the hardest, 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 horsemen to investigate the situation of the city tax, and as for the refugees, he only sent Chang'an's guards to maintain order.

After all, even if there are more than 100,000 refugees, even Li Shimin does not dare to relax for a moment.

His own father can still buy a few days, which makes Li Shimin breathe a sigh of relief at first, it seems that the expenses in his palace will also be reduced.

Before, because the teahouse had a lot of income, and the food in Shufu was really attractive, even 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.

However, I still have to discuss it with Guanyin first, and see what else is cut in the palace.

A palace

"The queen mother, my father and the emperor have not come to see Lizhi recently."

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

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

.....

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

At this time, Empress Changsun's face was a little helpless, because she naturally heard about the things in Chang'an.

Including the previous matter of her father, although she was silent, it didn't mean that she didn't care, but fortunately, in the end, her father didn't lose anything, but her reputation went to a higher level.

As for the ability to predict the heavenly opportunity, it was not strange in the eyes of the eldest grandson empress, because she had been in contact with her father for a long time, so she had already been accustomed to it.

However, the number of refugees in Chang'an is said to be quite large, and His Majesty must have forbade Lizhi to leave the palace because he was afraid of any damage to Lizhi.

It's just that in the face of this situation, even Empress Changsun can't do anything, not to mention that she also agrees with His Majesty's opinion in her heart.

Having experienced war, she knows how devastating it can be if there is no hope for refugees.

At this time, Li Shimin finally walked in, and couldn't help but make the mother and daughter stunned, but then they reacted one after another.

"I've seen Your Majesty!"

"I've seen my father!"

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

"No need to be polite."

"And Lizhi, my father can take you with him next time he goes out of the palace."

For his daughter, Li Shimin has a lot of love, although he forbids Lizhi to leave the palace, but when he hears this resentment, he can't help but feel a little loose in his heart.

"Thank you, Father!"

After the words fell, a look of happiness appeared on Lizhi's delicate little face.

The eldest grandson queen on the side glanced at Li Shimin, obviously blaming him for conniving at Lizhi.

"I don't know what happened when Your Majesty came here?"

But then the voice of Empress Changsun also sounded, you must know that Li Shimin has been in the imperial study for a while, and he has not been to the harem for several days.

In addition, the affairs of the refugees have not been resolved, and it is impossible to be busy with other things, so there must be something to do when you come to the harem.

This time, Li Shimin had a look of guilt on his face, and then said the whole thing, including the conversation with Yafu, and did not hide it.

It was just a little Empress Changsun who understood what His Majesty meant, and a wry smile also appeared on her face.
