On a certain month and a certain month of a certain year, a severe flood occurred in a certain county of a certain road, a prefecture and county of a certain road, and the local government rushed to urgently seek help for 800 miles. His Majesty Li Er was extremely shocked and immediately ordered the red warning plan to be activated and the red emergency plan was activated immediately. The Secretariat immediately received an order. The Secretariat Province gave a green light. The Secretariat Province immediately ordered the six ministries to start disaster relief according to the red warning plan. The Tang Empire was fully operational, and the disaster relief materials personnel set off quickly. The Secretariat Province left and right to visit the disaster relief people in person. It only took ten days before and after the news came to Chang'an to the Secretariat Province left and right to visit the disaster relief areas!

The disaster relief was successfully completed two months later, with only 500 casualties and the lives and property of the people were guaranteed to the greatest extent. The people were grateful to His Majesty Li Er and highly praised the government's results of this disaster relief. However, His Majesty Li Er was extremely dissatisfied, and the efforts of the whole country still caused nearly 500 casualties. His Majesty Li Er severely rebuked the relevant departments and personnel. The relevant departments jointly submitted a letter of apology, and directly submitted a resignation by relevant officials. His historian wrote a special letter, and His Majesty Li Er's reputation was passed down through the ages...

Such a beautiful picture gradually formed in His Majesty Li Er's mind, and the beauty that has been passed down through the ages under the name of the Saint King of Eternality was also thought out. Wei Zheng, Kong Yingda, and a group of guys with very bad tempers who often scolded themselves in the court also knelt down and shouted long live, their admiration for themselves was like a surging river...

"His Majesty?"

The dear wife, Changsun, looked at him with a big beautiful eyes open, and a group of naughty children looked at him with starry eyes open, and a group of relatives expressed their approval of their behavior. The old man Li Yuan cried bitterly and said how wise he was in his abdication and giving up the wise, and how stupid he was in his act of Jiancheng Yuanji's mantis arm to chariot...

"His Majesty?"

Envoys from all countries came to Chang'an to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty to show respect. The leaders of Xue Yantuo, Tubo, Turkic, Zhaowu, Nanzhao and other leaders came to Chang'an to express their surrender, and surrender to the peace of the world. The Tang Dynasty entered the most prosperous era in history, and achieved unparalleled achievements. The Tang Dynasty's reputation spread all over the world. Ah! Such a beautiful picture gradually formed in the minds of His Majesty Li Er...

"Your Majesty, I haven't finished talking yet..." Looking at His Majesty Li Er's look of longing, Suning knew that this arrogant narcissist was thinking about something irrelevant. He looked at His Majesty Li Er with disgust. Suning still had to remind His Majesty Li Er that the emperor was a fool in front of his ministers. Even the eunuch leader Wang De could not see it, and whispered to remind His Majesty Li Er: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

His Majesty Li Er suddenly woke up, looked at Suning's expression, and his rare old face turned red: "Hehe, I was just considering the impact of this matter on the future of the Tang Dynasty, and I had a little bit of divination. Su Aiqing continued to talk."

Suning rolled his eyes and said, "What I said just now is just a classification standard. The specific plan has not been mentioned yet. The specific plan is much more difficult than classification, and it may take many years."

His Majesty Li Er shook his head and said, "I can wait for this unparalleled achievement. As long as I can see such achievement in my lifetime, I can rest assured. Tell me, I can wait."

Looking at His Majesty Li Er's expression, Suning said in a secret voice: "When it comes to a major disaster, the most important thing is food. Whether it is floods, droughts, locust plagues, farmers, the most serious damage, or the food. Your Majesty also remembers that some time ago, the big locust plague almost ate all the fields and grains, even the trees and grass were eaten up, and those who starve to death were all over the world. Therefore, once a disaster occurs, food is necessary. Depending on the severity of the disaster, the amount of food required must be distinguished. Your Majesty, how much food reserves are there in the Tang Dynasty now? Can it achieve the disaster preparations for disasters within one state to five states?"

In ancient times, due to the lack of side food, ordinary people had no oil and water in their stomachs for a long time. They only ate food and ate rice, so they had a high demand for food. Whether there is oil and water in their meals was very close to their appetite. With oil and water, modern people would be enough to eat a bowl of rice at a meal, and only three bowls of rice a day. However, in ancient times, eating three bowls of rice at a meal was not necessarily full.

Suning's survey results show that a young and middle-aged man has to eat about 600 kilograms of grain a year. In the Tang Dynasty, one stone was about 59 kilograms, which is 118 kilograms. In other words, an adult young and middle-aged man has to eat five stones of grain a year. At this time, the grain output of one acre of land is only about one stone, and only one season a year is planted. In other words, the annual output of five acres of land can ensure a man maintains food and clothing. According to the calculation of 60% of the young and middle-aged man, the elderly, young and women also need about three stones of grain a year.

More importantly, the elderly and young children have almost no ability to work and need strong men and strong women to support them. By this calculation, the court can collect not much taxes, and the people have less surplus food.

His Majesty Li Er calculated secretly, and the conclusion he got was very frustrated: "In private, I won't hide it from you. The Tang Dynasty had suffered an unprecedented locust plague, with almost no food. The food stored in the past year was exhausted in the battle with the Turks. If there was a flood, drought, locust plague, or something, apart from cattle, sheep and Turkic labor, the Tang Dynasty could hardly provide money and food to provide disaster relief. The Tang Dynasty really lacked food and even less population. The old people you said still need to go to the land to farm, and it was also affected by this. Although I couldn't bear it, I could do nothing. Don't blame the three provinces and six ministries for inaction. They have been very tired over the years."

Suning nodded: "I naturally know that it is 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 responsibility when encountering disasters. The people are His Majesty's people. The so-called people are like His Majesty's relatives. Can His Majesty watch their relatives starve and do nothing? Can He watch the population of the Tang Dynasty, which is not large, be exhausted in disasters one after another?"

His Majesty Li Er frowned: "Of course I don't want to. They are all people of the Tang Dynasty. How can I bear to watch them starve? But what can I do? I will allocate all the royal rations, and I will not help me when I go hungry! The imperial court does not use much food, and I have always advocated frugality, including me, and the cost has been greatly reduced compared to the previous Sui Dynasty!"

Suning frowned, a little angry, and could not suppress the anger in his heart. He spoke, "That's because the former Sui Dynasty had abundant food and abundant finances! Yang insisted on the state-owned power, and the Sui Dynasty was prosperous and strong, so that Yang Guang's twelve years of his family defeating the foundation left by Yang Jian! If His Majesty was like Yang Guang, the life span of the Tang Dynasty would be five years?!"

His Majesty Li Er was speechless by Suning, and he opened his mouth and said nothing. Looking at Suning's angry face, he couldn't raise any spirit. Wei Zheng also said these words, but when Wei Zheng said it, he was very angry. He was talking naked for the former Sui! Now that Suning said this with a handsome face and a tender voice, His Majesty Li Er could not feel any angry...

"You are right, but what are the methods? What can the Tang Dynasty take over a mess, and what can it take for a few years? Where can you develop the emergency plan you mentioned without sufficient food? How can you save food? Without fifty years of hard work, all this is still a mirror and a moon!" His Majesty Li Er actually showed a hint of depressedness.

Suning felt that it was time to cheer up His Majesty Li Er. Some things, sometimes, seem a bit difficult, but in fact, they can be solved easily...

"Actually, I went to the fiefdom this time to try to solve this problem; if it goes well, I might be able to solve this problem within five years. Perhaps, the Tang Dynasty no longer has to worry about the problem of food." Suning lowered his head and thought for a while, and said with a smile. As soon as he finished speaking, Suning heard a crisp cracking sound. When he looked up, His Majesty Li Er stared at his eyes, his hand was still on his mouth, and a broken water cup in front of him was helpless despair...

"You, what do you say? The Tang Dynasty, don't worry about food issues anymore? Boy, what do you mean? You must never say such words!" His Majesty Li Er's hand trembled. Suning's words just now brought him great hope, but his rationality told him that this was an impossible thing and that you no longer have to worry about food? Who has done it? Xia Yu? Shang Tang? King Wu of Zhou? Duke Zhou? Five Neighbors of the Spring and Autumn Period? Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period? Emperor Wu of Han? Emperor Guangwu of Han? Or someone else?

Yang Jian? Yang Guang? These two men who are unable to compare themselves at present, His Majesty Li Er tried to get rid of the shadows brought by these two men at all times, and even ordered the historian to smear the nothingness to achieve his goals, eliminate some nostalgia in the hearts of the people for being able to fill the prosperous times of the former Sui Kaihuang, and eliminate the great prestige brought by Yang Guang traveling thousands of miles to endure all his hardships in the Western Regions...

But what made His Majesty Li Er feel powerless was that the Tang Dynasty had been established for more than ten years, and to this day, it is still using some of the wealth left over from the Sui Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty exudes the aura of the Sui Dynasty everywhere. This is abnormal and unscientific! This is not what a normal and powerful dynasty should have happened! 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 once gave them something that the Tang Dynasty did not have the ability to give them!

His Majesty Li Er's fist was tightly pinched, but then he let it go. He felt unprecedented powerlessness. He believed that his ability was no worse than Yang Jian and Yang Guang. He believed that he was not stupid. He believed that he was not a disqualified king. But why, now, he still could not step on Yang Jian and Yang Guang, but lived in their shadow all the time. Whenever he used the financial rewards received by the Sui Fuku to his heroes, he felt very uncomfortable.

The heroes who got those wealth and property smiled as if they were laughing at themselves...

Let the Sui Dynasty completely disappear into people's hearts and completely destroy the former Sui Dynasty!
Chapter completed!
