Chapter 1316 Extra food

However, in the end, Su Mei did not persuade Li Chengqian and forced him to feed all the rice porridge to him before he could finish it. During the process, he was inevitably attacked by a pervert and took countless advantages.

"Your Highness, have you figured it out? You won't do this again in the future, right? Do you know we've been worried about you these days." After eating the food, Su Mei seemed to leave Li Chengqian's arms and asked nervously with a blushing face.

"Don't worry, I won't be there in the future." Li Chengqian missed the soft and soft touch just now, and looked at Su Mei with a brilliant look, as if he was about to swallow her alive.

"Then, then I'll tell Xiaowen and the others." Su Mei was furrowed all over when Li Chengqian looked at her, for fear that he would not be able to help but pounce on her. She hugged the small bowl in her hand tightly, and fled from the study in panic, leaving behind Li Chengqian's prank laughter.

In the next ten days, the whole Tang Dynasty lived a peaceful life. Because it was a holiday, Li Chengqian was doing nothing every day, but since he figured it out with Songtsen Gampo's reminder.

This prodigal child, who was once famous for his "revenge of grudges", returned to everyone's realization again.

The old man did not pay his salary, he only gave four dishes a day...

It doesn't matter, the old man did not stipulate that he would eat all four dishes every day. The shameless Li Chengqian simply stopped eating in his East Palace, and took his four wives, big and small, tossed around in the Tai Chi Palace every day in the name of New Year greetings.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I wished the old man and his mother a happy New Year. From noon to night, I got a round stomach.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, I wished a few father-in-law a happy New Year. This time I paid my respects from noon to night. Not only did I get a round stomach, but I also packed and took away countless delicious foods from Lao Cheng's house. Lao Cheng was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at him.

Needless to say, it is Changsun Wuji's turn on the third day of the Lunar New Year, and it is also packed from morning to night.

Next is the fourth day of the lunar month, the fifth day of the lunar month...

After more than ten days, Li Chengqian's reputation was completely bad in Chang'an City. However, this guy is thick-skinned and will just stay away no matter who he goes to. When it's time to eat, he still reminds him.

During the Chinese New Year, no one's family can eat one or two meals. In addition, he is still the prince, so he has no choice but to invite him to have a meal together.

After a while, Li Chengqian's deeds of making a living everywhere spread to the palace, and then to the old man and Empress Changsun's ears, which made Old Li furious again.

"Okay, second brother, don't be angry anymore. You don't know what kind of temperament he is. During the Chinese New Year, just let him go a little." While feeling funny in secret, Empress Changsun kept persuading Lao Li, making His Majesty Li Er feel angry and have nowhere to vent.

There is no way, Empress Changsun is now pregnant and cannot bear the grievance. If she dealt with Li Chengqian again because of this mess, God knows what the consequences will be.

So in order not to be embarrassed, the old man could only call all his important officials to the palace in the name of the banquet, and also call Li Chengqian, so that he could not be too embarrassed while eating with confidence.

However, a group of old men sat together, eating and drinking every day and talking about topics, so they unknowingly talked about government affairs.

"Your Majesty, can you build some more granaries this year? Now granaries in various places are full and have not been sold much since the beginning of winter. If a large amount of grain is transported in the next year, if you don't build granaries, you can only pile them in the open air."

"Hmm?" Fang Xuanling attracted the attention of the old man and frowned and asked, "In the past, I heard that there was not enough food to eat, but now I can't save enough food. Will the statistics be wrong? I have been fighting last year. Did those soldiers not eat?"

"Eat, but their food is transported directly from Linyi, and it has no impact on our country." Fang Xuanling continued.

"That's not right. There have been many fugitives these days. They have just divided the land, but there is no food reserve. How could the domestic food increase so much at once?" Changsun Wuji was also very puzzled why this situation occurred and muttered suspiciously.

"What's the matter? Isn't it good if there is too much food? You can eat with open stomachs, and don't worry about going hungry." Cheng Yaojin, the old guy, didn't care about the specific details and the reasons for the sudden increase in food, and he carelessly despised Changsun Wuji and others for worrying about it.

"I know the truth, I can't say anything. There must be a reason for the sudden increase in food. If I don't find out the reason, who knows if any accidents will happen in the future. And it is very likely that the officials below lied to keep food for political achievements. If this is the case, what if there is not enough food in a war?"

Li Jing was very serious and thought about the problems more deeply than others.

But his inference was still rejected. Fang Xuanling shook his head after hearing his words: "No, I have sent someone to check it down. The granaries around Chang'an are indeed full, and there is no lie. I believe that the same is true for other prefectures and counties."

"Oh, if you ask me, just arrest all the officials below and ask carefully. There will always be reasons for the extra grain. If there are too many places, there will always be fewer places. Maybe it is because those people don't sell grain to the people for political achievements." Yuchi Gong and Cheng Yaojin have the same tune, and the consideration of the problem is also simple and direct.

"Prince, what do you think about this?" The old guys were studying the issue of food. Only Li Chengqian was eating and drinking, like a starving ghost was reincarnated. It was reasonable to attract the old man's attention.

"Me?" After being named by the old man, Li Chengqian raised his head from the table, his eyes were blurred, his mouth was greasy, and he had greasy claws.

Seeing Li Chengqian's appearance as a foodie, the old man immediately became angry and glared at him and said, "As the prince of a country, don't you know how to care about national affairs?"

"Father, the reason here is very simple. If the people eat too much other things, they will naturally eat less. It is normal to have a lot of leftovers." Li Chengqian was a little guilty when he was stared at by the old man. He grabbed the handkerchief on the table and wiped his mouth.

"What is eating too much other things? Where does your explanation come from?" The old man didn't believe that even Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Changsun Wuji could not understand the answers to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian smacked his lips under the gaze of the old men and cheered up and said, "Father, the example is actually around us. Just ask how much food the Sixteen Guards have to consume every month now, and how much food they have to consume a few years ago. You will know by comparing the two!"
