Chapter 116 Please come out and save me Datang!
But no matter who you borrow food from, be it a barbarian friendly country, or aristocratic family, if you ask someone to do something, you always have to look at the person's face.
He, Li Shimin, softened this time, and it will be difficult to be tough on others in the future.
Everyone will remember how you humbled yourself and begged for help today.
Li Shimin felt aggrieved!
Could it be that everything Li Hao said was right?
He, Li Shimin, couldn't fight a battle to surprise Li Hao?
That's it.
Li Shimin knew that state affairs were the most important thing, and it was impossible to shock Li Hao at this time, so he had to withdraw his troops.
Li Shimin could only send envoys to borrow food from barbarian allies and major families!
Li Shimin sent the messenger out.
Then the ruling and opposition parties knew the news that Li Shimin was about to withdraw his troops.
All the ministers breathed a sigh of relief.
At least His Majesty is not stubborn, if he is like Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, he would beat Goryeo to death, otherwise the second generation of the Sui Dynasty would not perish.
Li Shimin's ability to lower his head to borrow food actually shows that Li Shimin can bend and stretch.
For a big man like this, it is more rare to be able to bend than to be able to stretch!
The ministers did not look down on Li Shimin because of this.
If they can successfully borrow food and grass this time to resolve the crisis, the overall loss will not be too great.
Both are acceptable.
But what Li Shimin and all the ministers didn't expect was that the loan was not going well!
All the friendly countries said that their own countries were poor and could not provide much food. They hoped that Li Shimin could teach them the cultivation techniques of Quyuanli and potatoes, otherwise they would not have planned to lend much food to Datang.
How could Li Shimin give these two techniques so easily.
That is the capital that Datang was able to surpass and crush other countries, how could it make people at will.
On the aristocratic family's side, the other party's words were very polite.
What did they say that since His Majesty collected food, they would definitely do their best, even if they didn't have enough to eat, they had to collect all the food and give it to His Majesty.
But an aristocratic family only gives twenty or thirty dans of food!
Such a small amount is simply a drop in the bucket!
Not even enough food for 100 people a day!
Report back on the spies Li Shimin placed in the aristocratic family.
The upper echelons of the aristocratic family burst into laughter.
The joke is that Li Shimin is so inflated that he brazenly attacked the Turks, thinking that he could reap benefits.
As a result, stealing chickens failed to make a fortune, and he couldn't take care of his old nest, so he was left in disgrace.
It's better for their aristocratic family, so they don't have to worry so much.
In the end, His Majesty still has to ask for their aristocratic family!
Speaking of which, Li Hao is still amazing.
It is actually possible to predict the prophet and predict the news thousands of miles away.
This shocked and feared the great families.
In front of Li Hao, even Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty pales in comparison.
When the news was sent back, Li Shimin was furious!
Li Shimin originally planned to use his reputation as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty to borrow enough food from major families and friendly countries for disaster relief.
But now, everyone made it clear that they didn't give Li Shimin face.
This not only made Li Shimin feel very ashamed.
And it's not done yet!
He, Li Shimin, has already humbly borrowed food.
I didn't expect that I couldn't borrow much.
Now there are more and more booklets asking for disaster relief on Hedong Road every day, like a reminder for life.
Li Jing's side also can't cut off food and grass for a day.
Li Shimin felt extremely overwhelmed and didn't know what to do for a while.
Are you looking for Li Hao?
In the past, Li Shimin always asked Li Hao to solve many problems.
But on this matter, Li Shimin was really unwilling to go to Li Hao.
His face hurt too much from the beating, and if he went to Li Hao again, wouldn't the beating hurt even more.
If it didn't work, he, Li Shimin, sold the calligraphy, paintings and jewelry he had collected and exchanged them for food.
It's just that these jewelry, calligraphy and paintings are treasures collected by Li Tang, and they are the inheritance of the royal family. If they are placed in ordinary people's homes, they are at the level of family heirlooms. Whoever wants to sell them is equivalent to a prodigal son!
It's just that Li Shimin really has no choice!
……
At this time, Li Hao's residence.
Li Hao is eating hot pot, the weather has turned cold, it is very suitable to eat hot pot at this time.
He is entertaining a rare guest.
Grandson Wuji.
Li Hao seldom picks up food for others, but this time he couldn't help picking up a lot of mutton with chopsticks for Changsun Wuji.
Because Changsun Wuji looked worried, he looked as if he had aged ten years.
We must know that although Changsun Wuji was demoted to be a guard, everyone still treats him as a prime minister, and there will be no shortage of food and clothing.
Changsun Wuji has been under too much mental pressure these days.
He knew that Li Shimin was walking into the abyss step by step, but he couldn't stop him. The discomfort and powerlessness made Changsun Wuji's hair much grayer, and the wrinkles on his face were densely packed.
Changsun Wuji didn't move his chopsticks much.
For a long time, Changsun Wuji looked deeply at Li Hao.
"Mr. Li Hao, you should know why I came to you."
Li Hao felt in his heart that trouble was coming.
Seeing Changsun Wuji's appearance, Li Hao knew that Changsun Wuji must ask for something.
To be honest, Li Hao doesn't like causing trouble very much.
But let Changsun Wuji go at this moment, it is estimated that Changsun Wuji will be able to kneel here for a long time without getting up.
So Li Hao said:
"Uncle Changsun, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Changsun Wuji suddenly burst into tears.
"Sir, please come out of the mountain and save me Datang!"
He was about to shed tears as he spoke, and even stood up and knelt down!
Li Guanying has never seen such a prime minister. With his eldest grandson Wuji's status, he can be said to be No.1 under His Majesty.
Now it looks like this begging.
Naturally, Li Hao couldn't let someone so much older than him kneel down to him.
With a light push, he helped Changsun Wuji up.
"Uncle Changsun, I don't like others like this. If you have anything to do, just say it."
Changsun Wuji wiped away his tears, did a good job again, and said:
"Mr. Li Hao, you should know about General Li Jing's expedition to the East Turks."
Li Hao nodded: "I know."
Changsun Wuji went on to say:
"As you said, the mountains in Eastern Turkic are covered by heavy snow, and it is difficult to move an inch. General Li Jing is trapped there, and consumes a lot of food and grass every day."
"At this time, as you predicted, there is a severe drought in the Hedong Road area, and the common people have no harvest, and they are almost starving to death!"
"Mr. Li Hao, the Tang Dynasty is really in a dilemma. There is only so much food, and it is really stretched. If it is given to Li Jing's army, the people of Hedong Road will starve to death."
"If it is given to the people of Hedong Road, the [-] troops under Li Jing's command will freeze and starve to death!"
"I beg you to come up with an idea to solve this matter!"
Li Hao shook his head.
"How can I have so much food?"
"I've given you all the potatoes, you can figure out how to do it yourself."
Although Li Hao had checked out a lot of things, most of them were the seeds of food crops.
Food is rarely given directly.
Although the system space is not small, it will not be used to store food.
Not to mention the food that can relieve the entire Hedong Road.
When Changsun Wuji heard Li Hao's refusal, his voice became weeping again:
"Mr. Li Hao, you are the only one who can save me, Tang!"
"You can't stand by and watch!"
Changsun Wuji burst into tears.
