"Laifu, how much food is left?"

A glimmer of light appeared on Shu An's face and he said, many days have passed since the outbreak of the drought.

He has been about to be relieved for more than 20 days, and the grain requisitioned from other places in Chang'an yesterday has already arrived.

Even Shu An couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, Li Shimin was much more unreliable than he imagined.

Even Shu An didn't dare to compliment this efficiency, of course, Shu An also knew that the speed of this era was originally slow.

Otherwise, there will be no statement that the three armies have not moved, and the grain and grass go first, and this does not mean that the grain and grass are transported first, but prepared.

"Master, we still have 80,000 stone of grain, and there are still 40,000 stone of grain to come."

Laifu couldn't help but speak out with a hint of emotion on his face, because from the current point of view, it seems that they have bought a little more food.

After the words fell, it was Shu An's turn to be a little stunned, but after thinking about it, he understood.

It seems like twenty days, but the amount of food used is not as much as expected, after all, it is just gruel.

If you have a pound of rice, you can have several bowls of rice, and if you change it to gruel, you can hold at least one or twenty bowls, so that there will naturally be more water.

"Master, when the relief is over, are we going to open a grain store?"

Laifu hesitated a little and said that after all, this food was enough for them to eat for a long time.

Although it won't be good if you put it away, if it is exchanged for money, then Laifu will be more at ease.

"Don't worry, there should be changes in the next two days."

Shu An's eyes flashed, and there was a hint of affirmation in his words.

Judging from the current price of rice, maybe he still has some money, but Shu An's purpose has never been to make money.

Naturally, he doesn't care about the gains and losses on top of money, but what makes him care about this time is the construction of the gateway to the outside of the border.

On top of the facts, Li Shimin in the palace at this time couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after receiving the grain and sending it to Chang'an.

However, there was still a lot of apology on his face, and this emperor seemed to have done something inauthentic in this matter.

There are some people who have cheated their own sub-father, of course, Li Shimin and Kuai adjusted their mentality, and how to build the road still needs to be discussed with the ministers.

Because Li Shimin had already communicated with several important ministers about this matter, it was basically determined.

As for the generals, there is naturally nothing to worry about, because building this road to the outside of the pass has already proved His Majesty's determination to go north, how can it be stopped.

Only on the battlefield can they make meritorious deeds, and on this point, these generals will naturally not refuse.

......

Although Li Shimin's decision-making was full of twists and turns, and many ministers believed that road construction would cost the people money, Li Shimin used this to benefit the people and suppressed it strongly.

Of course, the main reason is that the eldest grandson Wuji and the others did not say anything, so naturally no one can influence Li Shimin's decision-making.

Under such circumstances, Li Shimin asked the Ministry of Industry to immediately make a process, and in fact, the Ministry of Industry had already been notified.

Li Shimin naturally does not fight unprepared battles, let alone such a big thing as road construction.

And the content of the court discussion was also not concealed and spread to the entire Chang'an, which couldn't help but make Chang'an fall into shock again.

"Your Majesty wants to build a road to the outside of the Guan."

"It is said that the road was built to keep these refugees alive."

"Yes, it is said that a large number of refugees will be called in, and they will not only give food, but also wages."

"But it seems that I heard this news somewhere?"

.......

There were many voices in Chang'an, and at this time they remembered that after the drought broke out, it was An Xuangong who did something.

And the imperial court did not move at all, and now there is finally action, but after the comparison.

can't help but make many people in Chang'an feel that the imperial court's response is a little slow, and they don't know a little bit about it.

If it weren't for An Xuangong, then the refugees outside Chang'an City didn't know what to do, and they didn't know how many people would die.

Of course, there are some people who remembered the rumors in Chang'an before, which seemed to be the news that An Xuangong suggested that His Majesty should cultivate a straight path.

Now it seems to directly confirm the original rumors, which can't help but make many people stunned, because it seems to have something to do with An Xuangong again.

The refugees outside Chang'an City also received the news, and there was a hint of excitement on their faces, although they could catch locusts now.

But there is always a time when the locusts are caught, and if they don't save enough money, how can they return to their homeland?

"It seems that there were rumors before that An Xuangong suggested to His Majesty."

Then a familiar name came to mind among the refugees, and all the refugees boiled at once.

"An Xuangong is really on the side of our refugees."

"If there is an opportunity, I will definitely repay this great benefactor."

"An Xuangong has the style of an ancient sage, and he is a saint for the people of the entire Guannai."

.......

Among the refugees, there were also voices, in their cognition, they didn't know what a saint was, but An Xuangong had a life-saving grace for them, so he was their saint.

It seems that there is a force in the underworld that guides the refugees to this path, and Shu'an spreads among the refugees in the name of a sage.

And the remarks of these refugees have also gradually begun to affect the entire Chang'an, you must know that with the passage of time, the number of refugees outside Chang'an has reached 300,000.

It can be said that the name of Shu'an sage has been recognized by 300,000 people, but this is also what Shu'an deserves.

In the courtyard of Shufu, Shu An's eyes flickered, and his gaze fell on the sky, as if he was thinking about something.

He has succeeded in all of this, starting with the initial prediction of natural disasters, and now his popularity has reached a peak.

And now is the time for him to reap, although the name of the sage needs to be determined systematically, but in reality it is not so simple.

If no one preaches his name as a sage, then how can the whole world be recognized, and he will always be just An Xuangong.

In terms of merit, in addition to Shu An's shortcomings on the one hand, he is already comparable to some characters in ancient times, which is enough to compare.

But it depends on Chang'an's reaction, which is the most critical step, although if it is not successful, there will be no loss for him.

However, if this step fails, then all his plans are considered failures, which is naturally not allowed by Shu An.

Even Shu An had some apprehension in his heart, and finally couldn't help but sigh slightly, it was the first time in so many years that he was so breathless.
