The heavens start from saving Daming

Chapter 492

At the banquet, Li Sanlang didn't say anything about the absence of the princess, he didn't even ask a question.

However, this made him even more unhappy and angry.

Li Sanlang has many sons, and naturally there are countless daughters-in-law.

It is normal for so many daughters-in-law to not remember clearly, or not to care so much.

But the crown princess is different. This is the mistress of the East Palace, the mistress of the future imperial palace, the most noble woman in the whole world, second only to the empress dowager and empress.

At this time, there is neither a queen mother nor a queen in the palace, even if there is Concubine Wu Hui, it is still only a concubine.

As the most honorable woman in the world, the Crown Princess did not appear at such an important family gathering at this time, so she would at least ask a question out of reason.

He didn't even bother to ask more questions, and even glanced fiercely at Li Yunze from time to time, the meaning inside was already obvious.

Others may not be able to detect these things, but Li Yunze, who has gone through countless tests, has extremely keen perception, and he can be regarded as insightful.

It's just that he didn't care about it, not only joking and chatting with everyone with a calm face, but also heartlessly cheering and cheering when watching Li Yuan's disciples perform.

Seeing his performance, Li Sanlang was slightly puzzled, "This kid doesn't understand anything? '

The whole banquet was uneventful, and there was nothing special about it.

It's just that there are only a few people who know about the undercurrent in the dark.

A few days after the banquet ended, Li Sanlang's revenge followed.

"His Royal Highness."

After reading the imperial decree, Gao Lishi handed the imperial decree to Li Yunze with a half-smile, "Your Majesty attaches great importance to solving the food shortage in Chang'an. Your Highness must hurry up to do it."

"it is good."

Li Yunze, who accepted the imperial decree, smiled and nodded, "For the sake of the people of the world, you must work hard."

When Gao Lishi left, Li Yunze smiled casually, "I thought there would be some great big move, and turning around is still the way of wealth."

Li Sanlang asked Li Yunze to be in charge of promoting Hebu Fa in the Guanzhong area, and he even pretended that this matter was proposed by you, and it was the right time for you to do it.

Others may not understand it, thinking that this is just spending money to buy things, who wouldn't.

But in fact, this matter is very difficult, and there are many twists and turns inside.

The reason is very simple. Most of the fields in the Guanzhong area are occupied by relatives of the emperor, ministers of power and eunuchs, and noble families.

There is no need for any hint from Li Sanlang to spend money to buy things from them. These people will consciously raise prices significantly.

Anyway, it's the court's money, and if you don't get it for nothing, you don't get it for nothing.

However, in order to embarrass Li Yunze, Li Sanlang has made a very clear decree that he can only pay [-]% of the current price for Hebuy.

Ordinary people don't have much surplus grain, and if they want to buy grain worth at least several million hu, they can only buy it from those powerful families.

And these people will definitely raise their prices on the ground.

When the time comes when Li Yunze doesn't have enough money, then Li Sanlang will be famous, and he will go mad in a fair manner.

What's more, in order to block Li Yunze's retreat, he simply asked the Ministry of Accounts to send the withdrawal documents to the East Palace,
With the imperial decree and the document attached to the prime minister's seal, you can withdraw a huge sum of money from the household department to buy 500 million dendrobium rice grains.

In the history of Datang, grain prices fluctuated greatly, but the lowest price only appeared twice.

Once in the reign of Zhenguan, there was three coins for Doumi, and the second time was in the year of Kaiyuan, it was also three coins for Doumi.

It's just that it was the first year of Kaiyuan, and now it has already been rising every year, and it is common to have more than ten or even twenty or thirty wen for a bucket of rice.

Due to political considerations, the price of grain in the Guanzhong area was forcibly limited to five cents per bucket of rice.

It stands to reason that if rice is bought at this price, there will be no shortage of rice or even death of people from starvation.

But the ideal is good, but the reality is very cruel.

The government ordered the grain store to only sell a bucket of rice for five cents, so that's easy to do. It's okay to just close the store and not sell it, right?

In other words, the purchase limit is a few hundred catties per day, and the store will simply close when it is sold out.

If you want to buy rice, you can quietly go to the black market at the back door of the grain store to buy high-priced rice!
This is the fundamental reason why the Guanzhong area, which is an important grain-producing area, has a food shortage and even starves to death.

Profiteer!Minister of power!Honorable!Family!Eunuch!royal family!Relatives!

It can be seen from here that the interior of Datang at this time is already rotten.

On the surface, it was still the prosperity of Kaiyuan, and the warehouses were still full of food, but the circulation link was seized, and as a result, people starved to death in the prosperity.

As soon as Li Sanlang made a move, he dealt a heavy blow to Li Yunze, pushing him down a mountain.

"His Royal Highness."

Du Fu hurriedly ran over to report, "Someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion delivered a post, please come to the mansion to tell His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Which prime minister?"

"Mr. Li."

Those who rush to meet without making an appointment like this usually have important things to discuss.

After a little thought, Li Yunze understood what Li Linfu was up to.

Smiling, he instructed Gao Jinzhong to take the greeting card to Niu Xianke's mansion, and then went out to Li Linfu's mansion very naturally.

In the study room of Li Linfu's mansion, Li Linfu, who looked a little strange, asked each other, "Dare to ask the prince, has anything wronged His Majesty recently?"

"It's not a big deal."

Li Yunze smiled slightly, "You don't need to worry, Mr. Li."

Li Linfu nodded, but said, "Why don't I go to meet His Majesty, how about a one or two?"

Li Linfu, who can be called old and cunning, saw Li Sanlang's actions, and immediately noticed that something was wrong.

The only reason why he took the initiative to help was that the whole world believed that Li Linfu was with the prince.

After all, Li Sanlang was old, and Li Linfu also had to consider his own future in case the emperor disappeared one day.

So if he can help, he doesn't mind helping.

"Thank you, Mr. Li, for your kindness."

Li Yunze nodded and nodded, "It's useless."

As soon as these words came out, Li Linfu frowned immediately.

He didn't expect the matter to be so serious, but he hadn't heard of any dirty rumors between the crown prince and the emperor recently.

Don't think that Li Linfu is as treacherous as a ghost, and he is also a prime minister.

But the battle between Li Yunze and Li Sanlang around Yang Yuhuan, only a few people in it would know, even if he, the prime minister, wanted to break his head, he would never have imagined that Li Sanlang, who had tens of thousands of beauties in the palace, would actually want to steal Ash!

Li Yunze was also unambiguous at this time, and directly asked, "Will Mr. Li help me with the matter of reconciliation and purchase?"

Li Linfu with a calm expression picked up the tea bowl and asked casually, "I don't know what your Highness intends to do?"

An old fox like him would never express his opinion easily, unless Li Yunze had the possibility of winning.

"Mr. Li."

Li Yunze, whose eyes were slightly cold, said softly, "You and I both know how difficult this is, and I'm just going to do it this way. After that, do it again."

After briefly revealing his plan, Li Yunze also picked up the tea bowl, "There are still some obstacles in this matter, and I hope Mr. Li can help."

Li Linfu, who was slightly shocked in his eyes, looked at the prince in front of him seriously.

He also didn't expect that the young prince would have such an ability in the city and grasp the hearts of the people to such a degree.

After this series of methods, it is indeed possible to succeed.

'Emperor Taizong's lineage is full of talents. '

Li Linfu, who was feeling emotional in his heart, did not respond directly, but responded with a smile, "His Royal Highness, if Mr. Niu is willing to take action at this time, I will naturally be willing to help."

He knew very well that helping Li Yunze would be tantamount to offending the emperor, and he didn't want to stand in line, so he simply pushed Niu Xianke out as a shield.

Even if the emperor was angry, he could only vent his anger on Niu Xianke who stood on the bright side.

As for himself, he hid in secret and supported the prince in his work.

After all, apart from not being able to offend both sides, we must try our best to maintain it.He is now the prime minister of Datang, and he really wants to do things for Datang.

The food problem in Guanzhong has indeed reached the point where it must be resolved.

As for the little money his mansion earned from selling grain, Li Linfu had already disregarded it.

Of course, this is also a test.

Li Linfu wanted to see, to see how the capable prince in front of him was in a state of mind, whether he was willing to push Niu Xianke into the pit of fire, or whether he was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to deceive others.

If he was merciful and soft, then his evaluation of Li Yunze would immediately drop by two notches.

Those who achieve great things don't stick to small details, and don't even have the heart to drag people as shields, so the prince probably won't do it soon.

However, Li Yunze immediately nodded with a smile, "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, I have already sent people to Mr. Niu's mansion to send greetings before I came here."

Li Linfu paused for a moment while holding the tea bowl, and looked at the smiling Li Yunze in a daze.

Having such a mind and ability at such a young age, this is what we, the courtiers, will do in the future.
In an instant, many thoughts turned in Li Linfu's mind.

But in the end, he still nodded to Li Yunze with a smile, "I am waiting for the good news from Your Highness."

It is absolutely impossible for a person like Li Linfu to easily give a positive answer. This is the so-called slippery.

But Li Yunze knew that this person would definitely help when needed, even though Niu Xianke was doing it in name.

Simply slippery becomes a grass on the wall, no matter how tough the waist is, the grass on the wall will be blown off.

But at the same time, being able to handle things quietly and make both parties feel good is the real skill.

There is no doubt that Li Linfu, who was able to rank among the best in the list of traitors, has this kind of ability.

After finishing Li Linfu, Li Yunze set off to visit Niu Xianke's residence.

In the final analysis, Niu Xianke took the initiative to bring up the matter of Hebufa in the court, and he also handed over the letter Li Yunze wrote to him to the emperor.

Now that this incident has caused a storm, he, Niu Xianke, naturally cannot escape the responsibility.

Li Yunze's attitude is very simple, if Niu Xianke is as cunning as Li Linfu, then he has plenty of ways to deal with such cunning people.

If Immortal Niu was of good character and was willing to take the initiative to stand up for Li Yunze, it would be regarded as temporarily making him unlucky, and naturally he would not treat him badly after he achieved great things.

Just like Zhang Jiuling and other famous officials who were demoted from Chang'an City, Li Yunze also planned to recall him after he took office.

As for when there are too many prime ministers and there is no place to arrange anything, you can set up a cabinet.

After being the emperor of Ming Dynasty for so long, don't you know how to limit the power of the prime minister?

And the most important thing is that Li Yunze is not interested in playing this kind of confrontation with Li Sanlang endlessly.

Wait until Li Siye recruits troops and come back, wait until Bian Lingcheng, Wang Huanxi and others are bribed properly, and wait until all the arrangements behind the scenes are complete.

At that time, he went straight to Xuanwu Gate!
