Yue Nujiao gave birth to the princess, and everyone knew that on the eve of the New Year, Yang Yue summoned Lin Kaiyue to return to Chang'an to discuss the affairs of the Yuwen family.

Basically, he spent all his time in the palace, and made great efforts to deal with government affairs, and the court was quiet, and there were no moths.

In addition to being busy, Yang Yue also had unexpected gains, Yuwen Linxuan, Princess Zhaoyang, Yelu Chunxi, and Lin Miaoyin were pregnant one after another.

After entering Chang'an, the government life of the court and the inner palace gradually changed for the better with his efforts.

After the Spring Festival, the second year of Zhaowu.

Since the Lantern Festival, it has been raining continuously in Chang'an, and the wet and rainy weather has made Yang Yue's thoughts very low.

Faintly, I feel that there will be many floods.

Early February.

The weather is still not improving, spring ploughing, summer ploughing, autumn harvest, winter storage...... Between four o'clock, the day of death rests.

The continuous rain took the lead in affecting spring ploughing, so that spring ploughing was forced to be delayed.

Yang Yue became increasingly worried, and asked the officials of Qintian about the weather, and learned that the continuous will continue until the end of February.

In this way, Yang Yue had to be cautious.

"Report!"

In the drizzle, outside the east gate, a servant in a robe, riding a horse in the water stains, rushed in from outside Chang'an City, and rushed to the Ministry of Industry.

More than ten days of continuous rain, the Ministry of Industry Pei Yongke was busy with anxiety, and the spring rain continued, causing floods in many counties around Chang'an.

The river was flooded, the fertile land was destroyed, and he had to lead the officials of the Ministry of Industry to repair the canal to drain the water.

At this moment, I just came back from Weihe, and after dealing with government affairs, I took a breath in my chair.

The official broke into the government of the Ministry of Industry and walked quickly: "Lord Shangshu, Lord Shangshu, the Longshouqu River breaks the embankment!"

Longshou Canal bursts?

When some officials of the Ministry of Industry heard this, they were shocked into a cold sweat.

The dragon head canal was built in the period from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to the Yuan Ding, and was built according to the suggestions of Zhuang Xiongzhen.

During the construction, 10,000 laborers were recruited to dig a channel from the county to Linjin. After the canal is completed, 10,000 hectares of saline-alkali land east of Chongquan are irrigated, and ten loads of grain can be harvested per mu.

The imperial court is short of food, the Longshou Canal bursts, and the river is backfilled, threatening thousands of hectares of fertile land, which is a great matter!

The official of the Ministry of Industry hurriedly took the official to the official office to find Pei Yongke.

During the rest, Pei Yongke took a nap and pretended to sleep, and when he heard the report of the officials, he hurriedly asked: "What's going on, at the end of winter, the official told the waiter of the Ministry of Labor to specially repair the Longshou Canal, why did it rain in the middle of the moon, causing the Longshou Canal to burst suddenly."

"Lord Shangshu, at the end of winter, Liu Shilang took the laborers to major in the damaged place of the Longshou Canal, but did not repair the downstream, the soil near the Longshou Canal is soft, it is very easy to break the embankment, and now the embankment is constantly washed by rain, the downstream bursts the embankment, and there are more than ten zhang of the opening, and a large amount of river water flows into Pucheng, Dali." The officials did not dare to conceal the loud report.

At the beginning, in addition to not expecting the continuous rain from the beginning of spring, it was still because the court did not have much food, so only repaired and damaged the serious part.

Considers.....

When Pei Yongke heard this, he hurriedly asked the officials around him: "Waiting for the book order, how many officials are there in the Ministry of Industry that can be mobilized?"

"My lord, continuous battles, many river embankments near Chang'an have been destroyed, the Lantern Festival has been so far, more than half a month, continuous rain, many river embankment problems, in recent days, the rain has been aggravated, more than seventy percent of the Ministry of Industry has ordered the history to go to various places in person, Liu Shilang, Zhang Yuanwailang, respectively, to the Wei River, Luo River, Ba River." Waiting for the book to make a report on the history.

Hearing this, Pei Yongke clenched his fists, and when he was silent for a while, he said categorically: "This matter cannot be delayed, this official will go to Longshou Canal in person."

As the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Pei Yongke knows very well that the Longshou Canal irrigates tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land, and if the cracks are not plugged quickly, things will become very tricky.

"Xia Guan will go with your lordship." Waiting for the book to order Shi Dao.

"No, you go to the palace as soon as possible and report this matter to the emperor, in addition, urge Liu Shilang and Zhang Yuanwailang to pay attention to the Bahe River and the Weihe River embankment, and if there is a crack, repair it immediately!" Pei Yongke reminded sharply while walking outside the Foreign Affairs Office.

"Yes."

The Imperial Palace, inside the Parliamentary Hall.

The atmosphere is equally serious and tense.

Wen Renyu, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, Ran Canglan of the Criminal Department, and Yang Hong, Jing Zhaoyi, are standing in the center of the council hall to report to Yang Yue on government affairs.

"Your Majesty, in recent days, it has been raining continuously in Gyeonggi Province and Dugi Province, and the river water has soared, and most of the grain from the south has stayed in Luoyang, and the quantity has gradually decreased. Hubu Shangshu heard that Yu trembled and reported to Yang Yue.

Yang Yue reminded him three times and twice that he should control grain prices, control grain prices, and grain prices are still rising.

Even if he is slack, it is because the grain merchants of Chang'an know that there is grain in the granaries of Gyeonggi Province and Dugi Province, and they barely insist on the summer harvest.

When Yang Yue heard the voice, Long Yan was gloomy, and asked sharply: "How much grain is left in Taicang, and who is secretly raising the price of grain in Chang'an?"

Since he succeeded to the throne, he has been particularly concerned about the price of grain, and even the granaries in the main warehouse, the regular closing position, and the granary in the righteous warehouse are all transferred from Taicang, spending money like running water, and the grain consumption rate is faster.

Spring ploughing has not yet begun, grain prices are rising, so if this continues, Chang'an will inevitably be in chaos.

At this time, Jingzhaoyi Yang Hong stepped forward, looked annoyed, and said angrily: "Who else, Chang'an grain merchants, they know that the grain in Taicang is decreasing day by day, and they have not replenished it in time, so they took the opportunity to raise the price of grain and make a lot of money."

"Yes, although it is normal for food prices to rise, it has doubled in half a month, which is outrageous." The criminal department is still in the book of Ran Canglan Road.

"Wen Renyu, Ran Canglan, the Criminal Department, and the Household Department didn't issue an edict to calm grain prices?" Yang Yue asked.

"Your Majesty, there is implementation, but it has little effect." Ran Canglan replied awkwardly.

Some grain merchants, in order to make profits, would rather lick the blood from the knife and take risks to raise the price of grain.

"Humph!"

"They're looking for death!"

Yang Yue snorted angrily, stared at Wen Renyu with cold eyes and asked, "Wen Ren's people are also involved, right?"

"This...."

"Your Majesty, Wechen has reminded the clansmen many times, how can the major grain merchants in Chang'an raise prices one after another, and it is inevitable that there will be lawbreakers in the family, and the interests are consumed, and Weichen's reminder is regarded as a deaf ear." Wen Renyu looked bitter and trembled.

"Huh?"

"Take your words as a deaf ear, it doesn't matter, who dares to take my words as a deaf ear, don't blame me for being polite." Yang Yue was annoyed, gritted his teeth and shouted.

"Ran Canglan, spread my will, before spring ploughing, the grain merchants in Gyeonggi Province and Dugi Province, whoever dares to raise the price of grain again, you and the imperial brother will be killed."

"Yes!" Yang Hong, Ran Canglan bowed and said.

Yang Yue drank a cup of tea and took a breath. He instructed: "Brother Huang, you will transfer another 20,000 quintals of grain from the granary, sell it to the people at a price lower than the market price, and strive to gradually reduce the price of grain in Chang'an."
