Chapter 14: The heavens are angry and people are resentful and betrayal of their relatives (updated for the hall master Yuehuangtai, ten thousand rewards)

Fang Xuanling seemed to be ready and took out a memorial from his arms.

Li Jiancheng took it and looked at it quickly, his face changed drastically.

Fang Xuanling wrote a lot of words on the memorials, densely packed, all of which were fly-headed small regular script. Chen Ying roughly estimated that it would be no less than ten thousand words.

Of course, ten thousand words are nothing in later generations. There are too many books with tens of millions of words. The key is that at this time, the memorials are usually dozens or hundreds of words, which is amazing.

Even the great masterpieces used to sacrifice to heaven are only three to five thousand words, but they are all big and empty nonsense.

Li Jiancheng did not show the memorial in his hand to Chen Ying, and Chen Ying was happy to be quiet.

After all, Chen Ying's goal has been achieved.

Li Jiancheng agreed to migrate 30,000 households to Lingzhou, 100,000 households to the Western Regions, 100,000 households to Henan, and 30,000 households to Hedong.

This time, due to the food crisis in Guanzhong, a total of 260,000 households moved out, accounting for about one-quarter of the population of Guanzhong. In other words, at least millions of stones of grain can be saved to Guanzhong.

Population is the basis of everything. Without a population, it is empty talk whether it is military farming or development. For example, the Western Regions account for about one-quarter of the Tang Empire (much larger than the current territory of Xinjiang), but in fact the population is only about one-tenth of the Tang Empire. These populations account for only one-tenth of the Tang Empire.

Chen Ying was very eager to operate the Western Regions into a country of Tianfu. Once this was the case, all dynasties would not underestimate the Western Regions.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Chen Ying quietly moved a seat, looking for a soft couch, and lying lazily.

However, Chen Ying didn't lie down, but he soon fell asleep as soon as he lay down.

Listening to Chen Ying's snoring, Li Jiancheng looked in the voice but saw Chen Ying sleeping soundly.

Wei Zheng got up and wanted to wake Chen Yingyao up.

Li Jiancheng waved his hand and said, "Xuancheng, forget it, in recent days, General Chen has been more laborious than all of us!"

Listening to this, Fang Xuanling was very dissatisfied.

In fact, there are also secrets in Chang'an City that Fang Xuanling didn't know.

What's more, Wei Ting has almost wiped out Li Shimin's Hundred Riding Commander, and now the news about Fang Xuanling is relatively closed. He may be able to guess that someone is secretly making trouble in Chang'an, but he doesn't know that Chen Ying is using his own way to do this at this time.

Li Jiancheng then continued to discuss the details of strengthening military and streamlining administration, but Li Jiancheng deliberately kept people away from Chen Ying and did not let them speak disturb Chen Ying's sleep.

He also asked the palace maid to cover Chen Ying with a quilt, afraid that Chen Ying would catch a cold.

Li Jiancheng, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and others were all crazy about work. When the rooster crowed three times, the negotiation was over.

When he left Zixiande Hall, when Fang Xuanling returned to Menxiasheng, it was already dawn.

Fang Xuanling walked into the hall yawning, looking at his already energetic colleagues.

Fang Xuanling walked straight to his case, then shouted to Ling Shi, who was serving at the door: "There is hot water, I'll give someone a bowl of hot tea."

Ling Shi, who was responsible for running errands, responded and went out.

All the officials stared at Fang Xuanling with strange eyes.

The doctor of Menxia Sheng said with an unexpected look: "Last night, Your Majesty hadn't chopped his head?"

The little official felt something was wrong. Someone like this was a person who was observing his words and expressions. When he saw Fang Xuanling was fine, it meant that Fang Xuanling was in the heart of the emperor. When he thought of this, he felt something was wrong.

Another official chuckled and said, "Of course, it's almost!"

After a while, Fang Xuanling sat in front of the desk and fell asleep.

At this moment, an eunuch held the order in his hand and walked into the hall with his chest and belly sagging.

The officials stood up to salute.

The eunuch looked around the hall but found no sign of Fang Xuanling. He couldn't help but ask, "Where is Fang Xuanling?"

The doctor of the Menxia Sheng looked at Fang Xuanling. At this time, Fang Xuanling put his soft feet on his head and covered his face, breathing for a long time.

Fang Xuanling is different from Chen Ying. Chen Ying snores when he sleeps, but Fang Xuanling does not snore, so everyone did not notice it for a while.

The eunuch looked at everyone and turned his gaze to Fang Xuanling.

The doctor of the Menxiasheng rushed to Fang Xuanling, raised his fist and was about to smash it at the desk.

The eunuch reached out to stop the doctor of the door and handed the imperial edict to the doctor and said, "A reward for imperial edict is not very important, and it is okay to wait for a moment!"

Everyone had to cry and wait for Fang Xuanling to sleep in the main hall of Menxiasheng.

Fang Xuanling slept for half an hour before waking up.

However, Fang Xuanling was still shocked when he saw the eunuch come out in front of him.

The eunuch smiled and said, "The subordinates will give the minister, Fang Xuanling will accept the order!"

Fang Xuanling hurriedly got up and walked to the eunuch.

The eunuch cleared his throat, opened the imperial edict and read it: "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty ordered: Under the jurisdiction, Yao governed the world, Shun Mao Gaoyao, Zhou granted hundreds of territory, Qin appointed civil titles, counseled the officials, served Fang Xuanling, and served as a minister, and was loyal and virtuous. He assisted the king in his governance and planned his strategy in Qianli. He could enter Xiangcheng County Duke, increase his wealth, millet, eternal industry, silver, and silk as an example. As usual, I ordered that in June of the seventh year of Wude, Yi Si!

Everyone looked at each other.

Fang Xuanling looked as usual, took the order, and cried to the eunuch, walked back to the desk, and sat down and started to handle the documents.

...

When Chen Ying woke up, Li Jiancheng was beside Chen Ying.

Before a table, I was eating breakfast alone, a few boiled eggs, a bowl of tofu soup, and a bowl of millet porridge.

Li Jiancheng smiled and said, "You're hungry, hurry up and wash up and have a meal together!"

As he said that, several eunuchs and palace maids holding copper basins, willow branches, fine salt and towels came to Chen Ying.

Chen Ying tried the water temperature, which was just right for both lukewarm and hot. He quickly washed his face and rinsed his mouth, and sat opposite Li Jiancheng.

At this time, the palace maid brought breakfast to Chen Ying.

Chen Ying thought he would be like Li Jiancheng, which was simple and easy to deal with, but he never thought it was a yam soup.

The so-called yam soup is actually very rare. Because it is very troublesome to make, it is said that yam soup was made by Mao Xiu of the Song Dynasty after surrendering to Wei during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. It is called "juewei". Emperor Taiwu of Wei was very happy to eat, so Xiu was the Taiguan Order. It is a special dish from the Wei, Jin, Southern and Southern Dynasties.

Wash the chestnut fruit, remove impurities, and after cooking, remove the water, place it on a mat to dry or dry. After drying, break it, blow it with a windmill, peel it, and use a mill or crusher to process it into powder. After sieve it, 120 mesh, make the chestnut pink beans, wash it, boil it for a while, add alkali, remove the alkali (remove the mucus), wash it with clean water, add water and cook it in a pot until it blooms. Send the boiled beans and water to the stone mill together, grind it with fine yarn to separate the bean paste from the skin, and shake the bean paste with free water until it is held in a ball.

Then pour it into the old mutton soup and cook it. The entire boiling process must be stirred continuously to prevent burnt. The boiled slurry is poured into a mold lined with a tin foil bottom with a funnel, and put it in an ice cellar to cool and mold.

Chen Ying cannot afford it. This kind of yam soup tastes smooth and delicious, not fat or greasy, and does not have sheep smell. The key is that the manufacturing process is too cumbersome and time-consuming and labor-intensive, so Chen Ying is too lazy to do it.

Chen Ying knew that Li Jiancheng actually didn't like eating this kind of thing, but he deliberately made people prepare for him, and Chen Ying was also very moved.

Chen Ying was eating yam soup, and it was really delicious.

Then, the palace maids brought more than a dozen dishes.

Chen Ying hurriedly said: "What kind of virtue is me?"

Li Jiancheng said: "I have been working hard these days, so I should make up for it!"

Chen Ying did not waste Li Jiancheng's kindness and ate happily.

When Chen Ying finished eating, the palace maid gave her a cup of fragrant tea.

Only then did Li Jiancheng hand over a silk book to Chen Ying and said, "This is the disaster relief strategy that I and Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling discussed for a night last night. You can take a look at it first."

Chen Ying took the silk book excitedly, looked at two lines, and his face changed suddenly.

Chen Ying quickly sat down and read it carefully, his face getting ugly.

Chen Ying looked up at Li Jiancheng with difficulty and said, "Your Majesty, this disaster relief strategy must not be fully utilized."

Li Jiancheng frowned and said, "Why?"

Chen Ying shrugged and smiled bitterly: "If this strategy is implemented, Your Majesty will become the only husband whom thousands of people are referring to!"

Li Jiancheng looked at the silk book on the desk with a serious expression, and sighed a long time: "I know, but I am not afraid!"

Chen Ying said: "First, open the Guanyi and let the people go to eat; second, exempt Guanzhong and Guandong, and pay taxes for three years; neither of them has any objections! Even if it is third, disarmament, all the soldiers who gathered together and prepared for war will be dismissed home, reduce the military expenditure of the court, and increase the agricultural power... I have no objection. However, fourth, the royal family has reduced the titles of all the royal families of the Li family from the prince to the county duke, and reduce their fiefs; fifth, streamline the quota of the imperial court, reduce the salary and staff, and reduce the public expenses of various government agencies. This is absolutely not possible!"

After Chen Ying finished speaking, he stared at Li Jiancheng and said, "Fang Xuanling is so brave. He is so arrogant that he is trying to take advantage of the world. He wants to extricate himself from Guanlong gentry, Tang Dynasty royal family, military generals, and civil and military officials in the court. He will offend Guang. By the way, the emperor and the court will be in front of the people of the world."

In fact, Chen Ying even doubted Fang Xuanling's true intentions.

The emperor Li Jiancheng is different from the emperors of all dynasties. After all, there is Li Yuan above him. Although Li Yuan is now in the Ganlu Hall, Li Yuan is alive after all.

Although from a reasonable point of view, Chen Ying also agrees with these five disaster relief strategies, he definitely does not agree with doing it now.

You should know that the royal kings agreed to cooperate with Li Jiancheng and put pressure on Li Yuan and force Li Yuan to abdicate. This was because Chen promised them great benefits, so they stood on Li Jiancheng's side.

Now as long as Li Jiancheng dares to surrender their title, they will definitely surrender to Li Yuan.

What's more, at this time, it is not only the shaking of the royal family, but also the official and the army in all aspects.

Once this strategy is implemented, Li Jiancheng's real ruling crisis will come.

I'm afraid that no matter how capable Chen Ying can, he will not be able to turn the tide.

Of course, everything is not something that can be done just because it is beneficial. Just like Yang Guang in history, using the Grand Canal to connect the north and south and the world is considered to be a success. His proposal for the imperial examination was even more profound.

People can't talk lies with their eyes open. Yang Guang fought Goguryeo because Goguryeo is invading western Liaoning. Could it be that if Goguryeo is letting it invade Goguryeo and never resist?

Any emperor with a little bloody nature will not allow his territory, cities, and people to be invaded. Otherwise, the country will be out of power.

However, Yang Guang did everything and became the king of the devastated country.
