In Shu Mansion, a mysterious smile appeared on Shu An's face, because the large-scale refugee incident had not yet broken out, and a figure was already sitting in front of him.

This person is none other than Li Shimin, but at this time, Li Shimin's eyes flickered, although he knew that this father was white-headed overnight.

But I had heard it before, and it was far less shocking than seeing it in person, which couldn't help but make Li Shimin's heart fluctuate.

The two of them sat up, but the atmosphere in the courtyard was a little strange, as neither of them spoke first.

Shu An made tea unhurriedly, he didn't believe that Li Shimin had more time than him, and his heart was naturally not in a hurry, although it was because of him at this time.

The origin of the rumors did come from him, and on the surface, he was at a loss, but Li Shimin was destined not to do anything to him.

"Don't you know that the Father has faith in himself?"

After a long time, Li Shimin's voice finally sounded slowly, and there were not many twists and turns in his words, and he directly asked his own question.

No matter how rumors from the outside world are, if Shu An didn't admit it personally, then everything would not count.

And Li Shimin naturally inevitably cares about this question, after all, how many people in the entire Guan, even he has a headache.

"If you believe, you will have it, and if you don't believe it, you won't."

Faced with this question, Shu An's voice slowly sounded as if he had expected it.

Li Shimin nodded as if he understood, can he believe in this father, it is obviously possible, and he naturally belongs to the former.

After thinking of this, even Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh slightly, it also costs a lot of money to settle these refugees.

The treasury, which was originally not easy to accumulate, is now dissipating a lot, and even Li Shimin has some ignorance in his heart.

"Shimin, but are you worried about money and food?"

Shu An seemed to see through the thoughts of this emperor at a glance and said loudly, now it is only two years of Zhenguan.

Li Shimin is naturally not wealthy, although the state treasury saved some money last year, but the officials in various places have added it, and there is also the next major drought relief.

All this requires a lot of money and food, and he must not forget that Li Shimin is a person who holds grudges.

If the treasury allows, then it will inevitably send troops to the Turks, it can be said that Li Shimin has waited for a long time for this battle, but the time is not right, and natural disasters are always unavoidable.

"Father's eyes are like torches!"

Li Shimin sighed slightly and said quietly, even as an emperor, he was not as comfortable as he imagined.

The whole country is in his hands, and every step takes a long time to think, and even he has no way to do it in terms of money.

"Throttling is not a long-term solution after all, open source is the key."

Shu An seemed to point out that he was just a waste liberal arts student before he crossed over, not a business tycoon.

For business, I just rely on the knowledge of this era ahead of my time, but I haven't eaten pork, haven't I seen a pig run.

Li Shimin frowned, and said in his heart, could this father have any way to make money, thinking of this, he couldn't help but have a trace of expectation in his heart.

After all, every suggestion made by this father in the past was extraordinary, and even Li Shimin couldn't find fault with it.

"I wonder what the people of the world think of these refugees?"

However, Shu An didn't dwell on this issue, but talked about another thing.

Li Shimin, who originally had some curiosity in his heart, also suppressed this question in his heart first, but thought about this question.

"If it reaches that point, the imperial court will open up relief."

Li Shimin's eyes flashed, and there was a hint of helplessness in his words.

This seems to be the best way, and these refugees, or displaced people, must not be allowed to starve to death at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

"I don't know if the people of the world have ever thought of letting these refugees build a straight road to the outside of the border."

Shu An's voice sounded again, and he had been thinking about what he could do for these refugees for the past few days.

With the help of the cash-for-work method, there are also some things to do when relieving refugees, and if there is a straight road, then the road to Guanwai will be much faster.

Li Shimin's eyes flickered at first, but then dimmed, because all this was asking for money.

And it's easier to keep the refugees from starving, and if you want them to do some errands, they have to eat at least half full.

"Father, the treasury is empty!"

Li Shimin said with a wry smile, all this seems to have returned to the previous point, and the problem of money and food is really a big problem.

"Let's not talk about the emptiness of the treasury first, so what do the people of the world think of Yang Guangkai Grand Canal?"

Shu An's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light and he said, Emperor Yang of Sui has uneven evaluations in history, and he has two points, but he wants to see what Li Shimin thinks.

After the words fell, Li Shimin was slightly stunned at first, as if he didn't expect his father to ask this question, and Li Shimin fell into thought.

"It is an indisputable fact that the Grand Canal costs people and money, and there is even a family behind it."

"All this is one of the reasons why Yang Guang weakened the family, but on the other hand."

"The Grand Canal has greatly strengthened its control over the entire Central Plains region and the Jiangnan region."

......

Li Shimin's voice said slowly, of course, there are some emotions in his heart, and there are also their Li family's promoters.

This has also become a knot among Li Shimin, so there is a lot of hesitation in the face of this kind of big project, for fear of repeating the mistakes of the past.

Shu An nodded, knowing that Li Shimin did not deny the merits of Emperor Yang of Sui, although the Grand Canal was made of white bones, it did bring a lot of convenience.

For the emperor, the most intuitive thing is that through the Grand Canal, it is much more convenient to travel from Chang'an to Shandong and Jiangnan.

"The Grand Canal is a waste of money and labor, but there is a clear difference between laying a straight road to the outside of the customs to give refugees a way to live."

Shu An said softly, the difference between the two is big, one is passive, the other is voluntary, Li Shimin's heart knot is naturally clear to him, even every emperor will be taboo, how he doesn't know, otherwise he wouldn't ask this question.

"But all this is subject to the success of the Father's prediction."

Li Shimin couldn't help but say that although there are many refugees in Chang'an now, he has not reached the point where he attaches great importance to it.

However, Shu An smiled slightly, it seems that Li Shimin has a little bit of a taste of not giving up on the Yellow River, obviously although he believes his prediction, he will also make some preparations.

But there was always a trace of doubt, and after thinking of this, Shu An's voice continued to sound.

"Why don't you gamble on another game?"

Li Shimin lost the bet last time, but this time Li Shimin naturally wouldn't jump down so stupidly, but after thinking for a while.

"If the Father can tell what will happen next, then the people of the world are willing to gamble it."

I have to say that Li Shimin is also a good learner, and this time he is obviously a lot more cautious.
