After pondering in the middle of the court, Li Shimin finally opened his mouth and ordered:

"Spread my will, requisition all grain and grain, and the imperial court will purchase it at market price and distribute it to all states and counties.

"The granaries of the state and county governments north of Chang'an City have all been opened, and porridge tents have been set up along the Guannei Road and in various prefectures and counties to provide relief to the victims.

"No one is allowed to raise prices, and once discovered, they will be severely punished immediately, and no mercy will be tolerated

!" "In addition, the dispatch of the Jiangnan Province to mobilize grain! The grain must be delivered within half a month

!" "All prefectures and counties will fully cooperate with the earthquake disaster, and if anyone dares to accept bribes and slack off in the midst of this earthquake, severe punishment will not be tolerated!"

"......"

and "......

." Li Shimin's majestic voice echoed throughout the hall.

All officials immediately carried it out and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

In the case of the earthquake this time, Li Shimin issued a total of 10 holy decrees on the same day, which was the largest number of holy decrees issued since he ascended the throne.

One after another, the edicts were immediately implemented in various states and counties.

In order to prevent officials from exploiting the grain money from the earthquake disaster layer by layer, Li Shimin specially sent officials from the imperial court to the localities to examine and supervise them, and even sent some new officials to take up posts.

......

All the prefectures and counties near Chang'an City have joined the ranks of soup kitchens.

Perhaps after hearing the news of the soup kitchen near Chang'an City, disaster victims from various states and counties poured into Chang'an City.

More and more victims also overwhelmed the entire Chang'an City, from a few thousand at the beginning, suddenly increased to tens of thousands, and the food was immediately bottomed out.

In Chang'an City

, "What's the matter with you, where is this porridge, it's all water!, how can people drink it?" A

thin man began to complain as he looked at the clear porridge that was in his bowl again.

The officers and soldiers who gave soup porridge said disdainfully:

"This is already the last grain allocated by the imperial court, and some

of them are good to eat, and they still pick and choose!" "What are you talking about? I haven't seen a grain of rice like this! How can this make people drink?

!" "Love to drink or not, don't drink and leave quickly, don't affect the queue behind!" The

soup kitchen man was obviously a little impatient, and waved his hand again and again and began to pick people.

"You dog officials! You must have embezzled the relief food of the imperial court! I will fight for you!" The

man was extremely excited, and as soon as the broken bowl in his hand fell, he went up to fight with the officers and soldiers who gave the porridge.

The people in the back also echoed

one after another: "It's the dog official! It doesn't matter if

the people live or die! Fight!" Some of the people lining up behind them stepped forward to help scuffle with the officers and soldiers who gave the soup kitchen, and some saw that the porridge pot had no one to give porridge at this time, so they stepped forward one after another and began to snatch and fight!

All of a sudden, the soup soup soup was in a state of confusion and was forced to tear down the porridge pot.

Soon, under the scramble, the cauldron that was originally small bottomed out in an instant, and many of them even spilled on the ground.

Not far away, officers and soldiers immediately rushed towards this place, shouted loudly, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop it.

There was no porridge and food, and there was no longer any looting, and the suppression by officers and soldiers soon stopped.

"Your Majesty, these prefectures and counties are in an emergency, and the victims have all poured into Chang'an City, and now there is not much surplus grain left, and it will not last for a few days!"

"The porridge in Chang'an City is getting thinner and thinner, and the people are also quite complaining, and now it has caused several waves of riots, I am afraid that there will be hidden dangers in the long run!"

Zuo Xiangfang Xuanling, handed over his hand to report, as the left minister, he has been so busy recently that his feet do not touch the ground, looking at the various soup kitchens near Chang'an City, and urging hundreds of officials to carry out the earthquake disaster is not daring to relax in the slightest.

Hearing this, Li Shimin's eyebrows tightened, and he turned to the side and asked

, "How is the disaster relief grain in Jiangnan Province, and when will it be delivered?" After asking, he rubbed his forehead quite weakly.

Recently, I haven't stopped breaking the folds one by one, and it's all about the great drought in Kannai Province.

For several days, not a single piece of good news came.

"Back to Your Majesty, it is now the rainy season, and the heavy rain in Jiangnan Province has caused the water volume of the river to skyrocket, and the land routes have been blocked, and the transportation of disaster relief grain has been hindered.

They discussed one after another:

"How should this be good?!" "Yes! The treasury is empty, and now the drought in Kannai Province has caused famine in many prefectures and counties

, and now this stall, how to solve it?" "The grain in Jiangnan Province cannot be delivered, how should this be good now?" "How should this

be good?!"

and "

......

". For a while, they beat their chests and feet, and they couldn't think of a way.

Li Shimin, who also had an abnormal headache, was also very anxious in his seat at this time, this time the drought was far more serious than he imagined, and even more so at this time, he wanted to be earthquake, but there was no food.

The grain transferred from Najiangnan Province will not arrive for a while.

This is a full 15 days, and now it is already a shortage of green and yellow, how should we spend the 15 th day?

The riots in Chang'an City have confirmed that the mood of the victims is already somewhat unstable, and if it continues like this, riots will be triggered in a few days.

He couldn't imagine what the situation would be at that time.

"Alas......!".

He sighed heavily, and a feeling of weakness hit him, weighing him down.

The hundreds of officials in the court are still discussing fiercely, and they are also red-faced about the method of the earthquake, but they still haven't discussed any way.

If there is no food, there is no food, and no matter how many ways you come up with it, you will not be able to solve this problem.

At this time, Li Shimin felt deeply powerless, drought, famine, and food were also in a hurry.

At this time, Li Shimin waved his hand weakly and said:

"Go back and think about it, what is the solution?"

The eldest grandson, Wuji, who had been waiting for a long time, greeted him with a happy face. smiled and said

: "Your Majesty, good news!" Li Shimin raised his eyes and glanced at the eldest grandson Wujian in front of him, still frowning, sighed

and said: "Now that there is a great drought in Guannei Road, there are countless victims, where is there good news

!" I saw the eldest grandson Wujian smiled softly and said:

"The concubine has a way to solve Your Majesty's worries!"
