On a certain day of a certain year, a certain state and a county in Datang Province had a serious flood, and the local government rushed to Chang'an for 800 miles to urgently ask for help, Li Erbixia was extremely shocked, and immediately ordered to start the red warning jihua, immediately activated the red emergency plan, Zhongshu Province immediately ordered, Menxia Province gave the green light, Shangshu Province immediately ordered the six departments to start disaster relief in accordance with the red warning, the Tang Empire was in full operation, disaster relief materials and personnel set off quickly, Shangshu Province left and right servants to visit the affected areas to comfort the affected people, From the time the news came to Chang'an, it was only ten days before and after the servants of Shangshu Province came to the disaster relief site in person!

The disaster relief was successfully completed two months later, with no more than 500 casualties, and the lives and property of the people were protected to the greatest extent. But Li Erbixia was extremely dissatisfied, the power of the whole country still caused nearly 500 casualties, Li Erbixia severely reprimanded the relevant departments and personnel, the relevant departments jointly submitted a letter of guilt, the directly relevant officials submitted their resignations, the historian wrote a special book, and Li Erbixia's good name has been passed down through the ages......

Such a beautiful picture of haode gradually formed in Li Erbixia's brain, and the beautiful things that have been passed down through the ages in the name of the ancient saint have also come out, Wei Zheng, Kong Yingda, and a group of grizzled guys who often scold themselves in the court also knelt down and shouted long live, and their admiration for themselves stretched like a surging river......

“bixia？”

Dear lady and eldest grandson baby looked at herself with beautiful big eyes and an intoxicated face, a group of bear children looked at themselves with starry eyes and admiration, a group of relatives praised their actions, and the old man Li Yuan wept bitterly and said that he was so wise to abdicate and let Xianzhi move, and how stupid it was to build Yuanji's mantis arm as a car......

“bixia？”

The envoys of all countries came to Chang'an to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty to show their respect, Xue Yantuo, Tubo, Turkic, Zhaowu nine surnames, Nanzhao and other leaders came to Chang'an to express their submission, and the eight directions surrendered to the peace of the four seas, and the Tang Dynasty entered the strongest and prosperous era in history, and became an immortal achievement, and the prestige of the Tang Dynasty spread all over the world, ah! Such a beautiful picture of haode was also gradually formed in Li Erbixia's mind......

"bixia, the minister hasn't finished talking yet......" Looking at Li Erbixia's longing look, Suning knew that this megalomaniac narcissist was thinking about something inconsequential, and looked at Li Erbixia with disgust, Suning still had to give Li Erbixia a wake-up call, the dignified emperor was a nymphomaniac in front of the courtiers, and even the eunuch leader Wang De couldn't look at it, and reminded Li Erbixia in a low voice: "Bixia, Bixia!" ”

Li Erbixia woke up suddenly, looked at Suning's expression, and his rare old face flushed: "Ahem, I was thinking about the impact of this matter on the future of Datang just now, and I was a little distracted, Su Aiqing continued." ”

Suning rolled his eyes and said, "What the minister just said is just a classification standard, the specific jihua has not been said yet, and the specific jihua is far more difficult than the classification, and it may take many years." ”

Li Erbixia shook his head and said: "I can wait for this immortal feat, as long as I can see the realization of such a feat, I can rest assured, you say, I can wait." ”

Glancing at Li Erbixia's expression, Suning said while secretly slandering himself: "The catastrophe is together, the most important thing is food, whether it is floods, droughts, locust plagues, the most severely affected, or farmers, the biggest loss, or grain, bixia also remembers that some time ago, the locust plague almost ate up the grain in the fields, even the trees and grass were eaten up, and the starvation was all over the field, so once a disaster occurs, food is necessary, depending on the severity of the disaster, the amount of food needed should also be distinguished, bixia, How much grain reserves are there in Datang today? Is it possible to achieve disaster preparedness within one to five states? ”

In ancient times, due to the lack of non-staple food, ordinary people had no oil and water in their stomachs for a long time, just eating grain, eating rice, so the demand for food was larger, and the relationship between whether there was oil and water in the meal and the amount of food was very large, with oil and water, it was enough for modern people to eat a bowl of rice, and it was only three bowls of rice a day, but in ancient times without oil and water, three bowls of rice were not necessarily full at a time.

Suning's survey results show that a young man has to eat about 600 catties of grain a year, and one stone in the Tang Dynasty is about 59 kilograms, that is, 118 catties, which is equivalent to a young man who eats five stones of grain a year, and at this time, the grain output of one acre of land is about one stone, and only one season is planted a year, that is to say, the annual output of five acres of land can make a man maintain a level of food and clothing, and the elderly, young children and women are calculated according to sixty percent of young and strong men, and they also need about three stones of grain a year.

What's more, the elderly and young children are almost incapable of working and need to be supported by strong men and women, so that the taxes that the imperial court can collect are not much, and the surplus grain of the people is even less.

Li Erbixia secretly calculated to himself, and the conclusion he got made him very depressed: "In private, I won't hide it from you, Datang has suffered an unprecedented locust plague, there is almost no food, and the grain stored for a year has been exhausted in the war with the Turks, if there is a flood and drought locust plague or something at this time, except for cattle and sheep and Turkic labor, Datang can hardly take out money and grain to relieve the disaster, Datang is really short of food, and even more lacks population, the old man you said still needs to go to the land to cultivate, but also affected by this, although I can't bear it, But there is nothing to be done, and you don't blame the three provinces and six ministries for their inaction, they have also been very tired over the years. ”

Suning nodded: "The minister naturally knows that it is indeed not easy for the Tang Dynasty to come from the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, but this is not a reason for the court to shirk its responsibility in the event of a disaster, the people are the people of Bixia, the so-called people, just like the relatives of Bixia, Bixia can watch their relatives starve to death and do nothing?" Can you watch Datang's already small population be wiped out in one disaster after another? ”

Li Erbixia frowned: "Of course I don't want to, those are all the people of the Tang Dynasty, how can I bear to watch them starve to death?" But what can be done? I allocated all the royal rations, and I was hungry, and it didn't help! The food used by the imperial court is not much, and I have always advocated frugality, including me, as well as **, the use has been greatly reduced compared with the previous Sui! ”

Su Ning frowned, a little annoyed, reason couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and said: "That's because Qiansui has abundant food and finances!" Yang insisted on the way of the state, and the Great Sui was prosperous and powerful, so that Yang Guang lost his family for 12 years to defeat the foundation left by Yang Jian! If Bixia is like Yang Guang, the lifespan of Datang can be five years?! ”

Li Erbixia was stunned by Suning's words, opened his mouth and couldn't speak, looking at Suning's angry face, he couldn't lift a trace of spirit, Wei Zheng also said these words, but when Wei Zheng said it, he was very angry, this is nakedly speaking for Qiansui! And now that Suning is talking about it with a Zhengtai face and a childish voice, Li Erbixia doesn't feel a trace of anger......

"You're right, but what's the solution? What Datang inherited was a mess, and it took only a few years, so what could it do? What is the development of the emergency plan you are talking about, without sufficient food? How easy is it to store food? Without fifty years of work, all this is still a mirror! Li Erbixia actually showed a hint of decadence.

Suning felt that it was time to cheer up Li Erbixia, some things, sometimes, seem a little difficult, but in fact, they can be solved......

"Actually, the minister took leave and went to the fiefdom this time to try to solve this problem; If it goes well, the minister may be able to solve this problem within five years, and perhaps, Datang will no longer have to worry about the food problem. Suning lowered his head and thought about it, smiled and said, as soon as he finished speaking, Suning heard a crisp cracking sound, and when he looked up, Li Erbixia stared, his hand was still on his mouth, and a broken water cup in front of him was helpless and desperate......

"You, you say, what do you say? Datang, don't worry about the food problem anymore? Boy, what do you mean by that? You can't talk nonsense! Li Erbixia's hands trembled a little, and Suning's words brought him great hope, but his reason told him that this was an impossible thing, and he didn't have to worry about food anymore? Who has done it? Xia Yu? SenseTime? King Wu of Zhou? Zhou Gong? Spring and Autumn Five? The Seven Heroes of the Warring States? Emperor? Emperor Guangwu of Han? Or someone else?

Yang Jian? Yang Guang? These two men who make the current self incomparable, Li Erbixia always tries to get rid of the shadow brought by these two men, and even does not hesitate to order the historian to discredit the nothingness in order to achieve his goal, eliminate some nostalgia in the hearts of the people for the former Sui Kaihuang to be able to eat a full stomach, and eliminate the great prestige brought by Yang Guang's journey of thousands of miles to hold the World Exposition in the Western Regions......

But what makes Li Erbixia feel powerless is that the Tang Dynasty has been established for more than ten years, and until now, it is still using some of the property left over from the Sui Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty exudes the breath of the Sui Dynasty everywhere, which is not normal, this is not scientific! This is not what a normal powerful dynasty should be like! They are missing Yang Jian, they are missing the Sui Dynasty! Although it was the Sui Dynasty that brought them into such a situation, the Sui Dynasty also gave them something that the Tang Dynasty was not yet capable of giving them!

Li Erbixia's fist was clenched very tightly, but then he let go again, he felt unprecedented powerlessness, he thought that his ability was no worse than Yang Jian and Yang Guang, he thought that he was not stupid, he thought that he was not a disqualified king, but, weishenme, to this day, he still couldn't trample Yang Jian and Yang Guang under his feet, but lived in their shadow all the time, and whenever he used the financial rewards he received from the Sui Mansion Treasury to give meritorious heroes, he felt very uncomfortable.

The smile on the face of the hero who got those treasures was as if he was laughing at himself......

Let the Sui Dynasty completely disappear in the hearts of the people and completely destroy the former Sui!

This is the first step that Datang needs to take! This is the first step! If you can't take this step, you will be a joke, how can you not become a joke? Li Er Bixia used all his courage to look at Suning, only to see Suning smile faintly, and an emotion called self-confidence appeared on his immature face, accompanied by a smile called Dese: "Bixia, the minister is an honest person, and he will not tell nonsense." ”
