Chapter 16 Your Highness, listen to me

Li Hong was extremely anxious and wandered back and forth in the hall. The old minister Dai Zhide followed him with his eyes and said, "Your Highness, the old minister has something to report."

"Tell me!" Daxiu shook her eyes, and Li Hong didn't even look back. He thought that it would not be a good thing.

"The price of rice in the two capitals is rising, and millet is 25 cents a dou. Even if it is cheap food and bran, it will cost 5 cents a dou!"

"What did you say!"

Fan Xian was shocked. This was the first time he saw such a ferocious expression on the warm Li Hong's face.

It seems that the phenomenon of food shortage in the Tang Dynasty was very serious and it has shown a trend of multiple outbreaks.

"The old minister fully understands the intentions of your highness. The supply of military supplies of the Baekje Legion is indeed the top priority. However, the livelihoods of the people of the two capitals cannot be ignored."

"What's more, in the eyes of Laochen, the situation on Chang'an City is even more critical, and it can be said that it is urgent!"

"If we don't deal with it, raise the price of rice and robbery of food are likely to happen. If we reach that point, the situation will be out of control!"

"Then what should I do!" A trace of wandering flashed through Li Hong's heart. In the huge dilemma, he had great hope that the Saint Queen could be in charge of Chang'an at this moment.

With their wisdom and wisdom, this matter may be solved well.

However, unfortunately, there is no need to inform the Dongdu of this level of government affairs. According to the general handling principle, the scope of handling of the Crown Prince Li Hong of the State is still the scope of handling.

Pei Fan listened first, and gradually got better, and suddenly, a light of inspiration appeared in his mind!

He knew why there was no news about the Baekje mission!

In the second year of Xianheng, Guo Wuxu led a delegation to Japan to raise military supplies. The death of Emperor Tianzhi of Japan was delayed for several months.

When Japan handled the funeral of the king, it provided military supplies according to the mission's request, which was also quite a lot of.

"Your Highness, the student has something to say, don't know whether to say it or not."

"You, what do you have to say?" Li Hong was anxious and displeased. Dai Zhide in front of him did not notice until then that there was a young man sitting in the hall.

"Your Highness, the students believe that far water cannot quench near thirst. For the Baekje defenders, the distance between the grain in the capital is too far away. Even if the horse is rushing, it cannot change the fact that the grain truck is moving slowly."

"If you want to allocate the grain from the Beijing granary, it will take at least one month." Li Hong sat down and actually listened.

"You continue." Seeing Fan Xian pause, Li Hong immediately urged him. He took a few deep breaths, but said: "But the same grain is different for the people of the two capitals. As long as the warehouse is opened and the dilemma of high rice prices can be immediately eliminated, and the results will be very significant."

"On the one hand, there is a dry lake that cannot be reached, and on the other hand, there is a dry well near you. Where should this scoop of water be sprinkled? Please think twice."

hiss……

Dai Zhide's face turned stern, who is this boy?

Extraordinary knowledge!

In fact, this is also Dai Zhide's opinion. Although the Baekje defenders urged food and grass to be urgently urged, for the Tang Dynasty, which was short of food, the current problems should be solved first.

"You mean, let me give up the Baekje defenders and not help them?" Although Li Hong did not agree immediately, his tone had become much calmer, indicating that he was considering this possibility.

Fan Xian smiled and said, "Your Highness, how could the students make such suggestions? The students just think that the Baekje defenders company issued a report, perhaps just because they did not receive news from Japan."

"We don't know what the mission is like in Japan. Perhaps the mission was just stuck with the matter and didn't have time to contact Baekje?"

"Or maybe, what happened in Japan, so that the military supplies have not been prepared yet?"

"What can Japan do?" Li Hong smiled awkwardly, from his eyes to his tone, he was full of disdain. In a small place, what else can there be a big deal besides fighting in a crowded place!

Fan Xian waved his hand: "Your Highness, why can't something big happen in Japan? If the king of theirs collapses, they will not have the intention to raise military supplies for the Tang Dynasty."

Li Hong was amused and crying. This kid had a really good idea... Qingqi. In order to help the people of the two capitals, he actually cursed the kings of other countries to die.

Li Hong didn't believe it, but he did not refute Pei Fanxian.

"This is just the student's opinion, and he has made a shame in front of His Highness and Minister Dai."

Pei Fanxian analyzed it casually, and at the end, he was modest and gave Dai Zhide enough face.

Old Dai has been in the officialdom for decades and has never seen any situation before. How can you be smarter and smarter than him?

Dai Zhide was an upright person and always treated people and things impartially. After listening to Pei Fanxian's analysis, he immediately looked at him with admiration. If such a talent could enter the court as soon as possible, the talent reserves of the Tang Dynasty would be even richer.

"Why should you be so humble? The old minister also thinks so. Your Highness, we can wait for a new report on Baekje and think of solutions according to the situation. However, the situation in the capital is already urgent."

"Please make a decision early." With Dai Zhide cheering, Li Hong's intentions became stronger.

Now there is only one granary that can allocate grains to the Taiyuan warehouse. Objectively speaking, Taiyuan is close to the two capitals and too far from Baekje. Li Hong had no choice but to follow their opinions.

"Then open the warehouse and release grain immediately, and inform the two cities of the equilibrium bureaus to pay attention to calming prices. If there are any abnormal changes, report it immediately!"

Dai Zhide received the order and turned around and left to do business. If he wanted to release food, he had to do a lot of things and had to be fast.

After a brief episode, the meal could not be eaten anymore. Li Hong sighed while facing the leftovers. Cai Jixiang was quick-eyed and immediately asked someone to send delicious snacks.

It is not appropriate to put the food on the table again. The food shortage among the people has reached this point. With Li Hong's generous personality, he will definitely not be able to stand this waste.

Fan Xian rubbed his hands, thinking of an excuse, and the medicine was delivered, and the prompts he should give, and it was time to withdraw.

Li Hong ate the snack and praised, "I didn't expect that you would have such an opinion."

Pei Fanxian's face turned red, and the prince praised him very directly, and he was embarrassed.

"You are still young and so smart, haven't you ever thought about becoming an official?"

Go to office?

Who doesn’t want that kind of good thing?

But Pei Fanxian, his parents died when he was young, and he was born sick. The ruthless Pei family had already driven him to the West City.

Even if there is a chance to Meng Zuyin, it will not be his turn to be a sick person.

"Your Highness, you know the student's situation. Your health has just recovered recently, so don't worry about my official career."

Li Hong nodded frequently and said with a smile: "That's true, you should take care of yourself. When the time is right, I will promote you to the East Palace."

Fan Xian's eyes lit up. Li Hong understands very well, and the painting of the big cake is quite long-term.

Since coming to the Tang Dynasty and becoming an official, Pei Fanxian has thought about it countless times. Being an official is certainly not difficult to hold the crown prince’s thigh.

But he didn't want to become an official immediately. The wood was so beautiful that the forest wind would destroy it. Just a few days ago, Pei Fanxian was a sick person who hated ghosts. No one took him seriously, and he wanted him to report to the King of Hell quickly to save food for the people of Chang'an City.

If he quickly entered the officialdom now, he would definitely cause trouble for himself and set up countless enemies. Being an official is indeed his direction of struggle. However, when it will be put on the agenda depends on Li Hong's recovery and his familiarity with the Tang Dynasty court.

He, a member of the army, was a hero among the great men and women, and a hero among all the geniuses. Fan Xian of Pei, wanted to be an official, which was easy to win.
