The sun has been hanging high in the air, the traffic back to luocang several main streets, the people are gradually more and more, most of the people are working in luocang this time, shoulder with do not know how many times to wipe sweat, how long to use yellow cotton cloth as handkerchief.
After passing the routine inspection with a simple token in his hand, he entered the inner warehouse of grain storage.
Judging from the top of the granary and the number of people entering, there is still a lot of grain left in huiluocang. Although we don''t know what kind of grain is left today, it''s inexplicable to feel at ease when looking at the guard''s appearance of being so heavily guarded and the scene of heavy traffic.
The shop assistant was holding the unique tea of Tang Dynasty. He was about to add onion, ginger and garlic seasoning into it. Li Sujie stopped him immediately, and the tea foam was ignored. If he added those seasonings, he would really be drinking tea soup.
Since being followed by Li Hongxue to taste tea, Li Sujie has been disgusted with the original tea soup. Especially when Li Hong told him that the tea soup tasted like dishwashing water, Li Sujie had secretly tasted the tea soup, smacked his mouth and thought that the taste was almost the same. Therefore, he has long been used to the real tea tasting instead of drinking the tea soup again.
The man looked at the three people strangely. Seeing that they all insisted on, he had to leave unhappily. His heart was full of disdain for them. He was so stupid that he could not drink tea.
Bai Chun naturally is the best choice for tea. Li Hong and Li Sujie looked at the people who entered the inner warehouse and said faintly, "it seems that there is still a lot of grain here. After last year''s famine, they thought there would not be much grain here."
"These are two different things. They are dumping the old grain and selling it to the people, and then the new grain will continue to be stored. As for some high-quality grain, see, those carts come here to pull the high-quality grain as seeds."
"Are these seeds sold to the people or distributed to the people free of charge?" Li Hong asked curiously.
Li Sujie has lived a very grounded life in the fief these years. Naturally, he knows more about these grassroots affairs than Li Hong. Hearing Li Hong''s words, he stares and says, "naturally, it''s with money. Good seeds are for the noble families. How can people afford it? Those who are better off will choose at most medium-sized seeds, while those who are poor will choose the lowest ones. After the autumn harvest of next year, they will pay back the seeds according to the rent adjustment, including those owed to the officials. "
"How about the inferior seed harvest?" Li Hong pulled out a sneer at the corner of his mouth. He looked at two old people sitting down not far from their table. They were adding green onion and ginger to the tea with great relish.
Li Sujie calculated in his mind and said, "well Basically, after returning the seeds of the official family and keeping up with the rent paid, the surplus food is enough for the family to eat until the end of the new year. A family of five, however. "
"Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the population of the people of the Tang Dynasty has been on the rise. Now it has returned to the peak of the former Sui Dynasty. I''m afraid there are more than five people in this ordinary family?" Li Hong was a little powerless. Since the Tang Dynasty was so rich, why didn''t some policies of that year change?
At that time, it was because of the small population. Because of years of war and chaos, it was good to have five people in each family. In addition, in the early days of the founding of the country, many people went up to the mountains and set grass, so the number of people who could be counted by the government was naturally less. Therefore, according to the system at that time, giving the policy today was a policy beneficial to both the country and the people.
But now it''s different. The population base is rising steadily. Every family is increasing its population, and the soldiers are not included in the calculation. Now, naturally, these grains are rented and adjusted, so that the people can''t feed themselves in the disaster years.
"Mm-hmm, that''s true. But that''s what the emperor decided at the beginning. Who dares to veto the decision of the former Emperor?" Li Sujie looked at Li Hong and asked in a meaningful way.
"Don''t look at me..."
"Three young masters invited me. I didn''t mean to do it on purpose. But this is too close. I''ve been listening to the three conversations just now. Obviously, I''m not satisfied with the grain decision-making?" An old man on the next table came over, pointed to the distance between the two tables and said with a smile.
Li Hong looked at a black robe, a Futou head and a beard. He was not very tall, but he was elegant and wise, standing next to Li Hong.
"I don''t dare to be dissatisfied. Why, does the old gentleman think that the decision made by the late emperor seems out of date now?" Li Hong looked at the middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, indicating that he might as well sit down and have a chat.
"Thank you, young master. How about talking with my friend?" In the Tang Dynasty, in his thirties, he began to call himself an old man.
Li Hong nodded with a smile. The middle-aged man called another middle-aged man of the same age and bearing a certain official prestige. Then the five people sat at the same table.
Two people looked at Li Hong''s tea, and then looked at their own tea soup. They just looked at each other in dismay and did not speak.
"Where is your name? Don''t you think you are a scholar of Luoyang? " Or by the middle-aged man who started to talk."I''m Li Bai. This is Li Su, my elder brother. This is my beauty, a person from Beijing." Li Hong said with his eyes wide open. He also believed that with the fierce eyes of the two men, he might recognize that Bai Chun was a woman disguised as a man.
After listening to Li Hong''s words, they nodded and introduced themselves: "in the next cloth clothes, this is Mr. Lou, my friend for many years."
"Two gentlemen." Li Hong said with a smile.
Sima Lin, then it should also be an aristocratic family. In this era, the importance of the idea of the patriarch is self-evident. Even if it is a declining aristocratic family, as a descendant, he will talk about it, which is a kind of respect for the ancestors.
In the Northern Wei Dynasty, Sima aristocratic family had gradually declined and faded out of the imperial court except Sima Yang, who served as a general in the East expedition. In the pre Sui and Tang Dynasties, there was no one who could get on the stage.
The one who was slightly skinny and was called Mr. Lou might have been Lou Shide, the governor of Henan Province. After Li Hong appeared here, he unexpectedly met him unexpectedly. Li Hong didn''t know whether it was a real coincidence or a fake coincidence.
"I wonder if you are here to buy grain?" Li Hong blinked his eyes and asked curiously.
"Ha ha I don''t buy grain here. The government''s granaries only sell grain in the city. Who will buy grain in the wilderness? What if you are hijacked on the road? But the three young masters are extraordinary and elegant. I don''t know what''s the matter with huiluocang, which is about to be abandoned by the imperial court? " Simalin asked casually.
"As we said just now, the task assigned to us by the gentleman of Chongwen museum is whether the low-grade grain seeds are enough to feed the people, and whether the low-grade grain seeds can be produced in a year is the purpose of our coming here." Li Hong takes a look at Lou Shide, who has not spoken for a long time.
After Li Hong finished speaking, Sima Lin also looked at Lou Shide as if nothing had happened: "when the disaster last year, it is said that today''s Chongwen Hall of the prince''s highness is relieving people''s worries. What emergency mechanism, at the critical moment, uses the granary under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of housing to distribute grain free of charge to the people. Now, are you planning for spring planting this year?"
"I''m not going to talk about it, but I''m here to see..."
"This Hubu has always been friendly with Chongwen hall, but there is no Granary under the jurisdiction of Hubu and sinang temple in huiluocang. Didn''t the three young masters know before they came here?" Lou Shide suddenly interrupted Li Hong.
"I don''t know, but even if the granaries of Hubu and sinang temple are no longer back to luocang, who is in charge of the remaining grain storage? Can''t it be Henan? It seems that the disaster in Henan Province last year was no less than that in the capital city? Today''s busy traffic is not just preparing to feed the people, is it Li Hong saw that Lou''s moral integrity was serious, but his official prestige was not small. Zhang Kou was from Hubu and sinang temple, which was obviously oppressive.
"Well said Mr. Li! Well said! Ha ha, brother Lou, how are you? Now it seems that I am not alone in petitioning for the people. The three young childe are also worried about the country and the people. They also hope that you can quickly release grain to the people this time. The people in the disaster last year relied on the grain released by the Hubu and sinang temple. Now the granaries in the Hubu and sinang temple in luocang are empty. They are waiting for you to release the grain from Henan government Can the court release grain from hanjiacang? " Sima Lin was happy when he heard Li Hong''s words.
He came here with Lou Shide today. It was he who grinded Lou Shide to have a look. He didn''t believe Lou Shide said that there was no grain left in luocang. As for the lack of food for the people in Henan Province, he had to wait for the court to make a decision.
Therefore, he took Lou Shide to come here today, hoping to persuade him to release grain in the name of Henan government instead of waiting for the court to issue a document.
Obviously, so much grain is stored in the granary, is it really necessary to wait for mildew to be distributed to the people? Although he is just a cloth clothes, it doesn''t mean that he can''t have the sentiment of worrying about the country and the people, isn''t it?
Lou Shide looked at the happy simalin without expression, then glanced at Li Hong, and hummed: "although huiluocang is ready to be abandoned, it is not said that it will be abandoned now. From the completion of the Sui Dynasty to the present, huiluocang is the most important thing in Henan Province. What if we release grain again this year and catch up with natural and man-made disasters? Isn''t it necessary to release grain? Where did he get so much grain free of charge? "
"If you don''t let it go this year, the people are starving to death and there are dead bodies everywhere. Who are you going to give your grain to? What do you want the people to give you? Is it really necessary to keep grain moldy and people eat bark and leaves White pure small face a cold, in simalin smile just congealed in the face, then impolitely said.
