What if there is not enough food?

Li Yi's words made Li Shimin take a breath.

Are you kidding me?

The entire city of Chang'an has a population of almost two million.

Although most of its food supply was controlled by the seven sects and five surnames, the Tang government's food was enough to deal with various unexpected disasters.

As for not having enough food...

Li Shimin couldn't think of this possibility!

Li Yi saw Li Shimin's surprise.

He smiled and said:"Old Huang, listen to me. If my observation is good, there will be a long-lasting heavy rain in Chang'an in three days." Li Shimin smiled casually and said:"Oh? How did you observe it?" Li Shimin said with a smile.

Yi knew he didn't believe it.

After all, no one is familiar with it. Who would be willing to give up all their wealth and invest in something that seems to be nothing like you?

Everyone is not stupid.

Li Yi didn't say much. Out of good intentions, he reminded Li Shimin:"Old Huang, it doesn't matter if you don't invest, but you have to save food recently. It must be able to sustain it for at least three to five months."

This Old Huang and these people Over the past few months, I have taken good care of Li Yi.

Li Yi is a grateful person.

Once the words have been said, whether Lao Huang believes it or not, he doesn't care about Li Yi's affairs.

Li Yi's character is like this. Everyone sweeps away the snow in front of their door and doesn't care about others' troubles.

Finished the meal hastily at noon.

Lao Huang left voluntarily.

Li Yi shook his head, and finally fixed his gaze on his own house.

This is Sanjin House. Although it is on the outskirts of Wannian County, the current housing prices in Chang'an are pretty good.

According to the records of Chang'an County in the fourth year of Zhenguan, Li Yi calculated that this house was worth more than 4,000 Kaiyuan Tongbao. (According to the usual conversion, it is equivalent to the current 70 yuan)

The price of food in the Chang'an market has not yet risen. It is currently 4 cents and 5 cents per bucket of rice.

The purchasing power of four thousand guan is 40,000 shi meters.

After three days, the price of food was relatively stable, but after a month, a bucket of rice would cost ten yuan.

Two months later, it climbed to a terrifying twenty yuan.

Three months later, it climbed to a terrifying fifty yuan!

Damn, in other words, your assets can increase tenfold in three months.

Four thousand guan directly becomes 40,000 guan!

After knowing all this, Li Yi went to Yaxing on the outskirts of Wannian County.

The so-called tooth shop is no different from the loan sharks of later generations. After negotiations between left and right, Li Yi was not satisfied with the price.

He returned home and planned to go to Chang'an City the next day to discuss the sale of the house.

……

Early the next morning, Li Yi got up early, dressed neatly, and was about to go out.

Just at this moment, Li Shimin came, followed by a middle-aged man pulling an ox cart.

Li Yi looked at Li Shimin confused.

I saw him smiling and saying:"I cashed in all my family's money last night, and now I have collected ten thousand Guantong treasures."

Oh my god!

This old man is not simple. He has such a vicious vision?

In this matter, if identities were exchanged, Li Yi would not believe his deception!

But Old Huang believed it!

Li Yi was not too polite and said to Li Shimin:"Lao Huang, believe me, I won't treat you badly. In three months, I will return you 20,000 Guantong treasures!"

I believe you, you idiot!

If you weren't my own son, would I accompany you through all the trouble?

It's only 10,000 yuan, even if it's nothing, does Li Shimin care about it?

As long as my silly kid is happy, I can do whatever I want, so what does this little money mean?

Li Shimin still said with some suspicion:"Why three months? I believe you. Don't doubt this. It's just that I'm curious, why are you so confident?"

Li Yi thought for a while and said:"Because in two days, this heavy rain will last for three consecutive months, and there will be a massive food shortage in the city. In three months, the price of four yen for a bucket of rice will increase tenfold!"

Li Yi finished.

Li Shimin stiffened.

The middle-aged man named Lao Fang behind him also twitched the corners of his mouth slightly.

Your Majesty is really capable of making trouble.

He also said that this kid's"brain disease" was cured.

Is this called brain disease?

This old house is naturally Fang Xuanling's plan to foster Li Yi in the suburbs of Wannian County.

He looked at Li Shimin with a wry smile and sighed in his heart, Your Majesty... a father's love knows no bounds!

At this time, I still have free time to play around with my silly son.

Regarding the Turkic affairs in northern Xinjiang, everyone in the imperial court is now making suggestions and efforts.

Tomorrow Li Jing's army will march to Shuofang to annihilate Jieli Khan. how to spell? How to fight? But it all depends on Li Shimin to control the overall situation.

These days, Fang Xuanling often watched Li Shimin sneak out of the palace and thought something big had happened.

It turns out...he came here to offer his father's love!

At noon.

Li Yi is going to cook himself.

He is a good cook, but he can't stand the boiling and stewing methods of today's Tang Dynasty.

These days, his mouth has long faded away.

Now that Li Shimin has received 10,000 Guantong treasures, he can be considered a rich man.

He will never wrong himself.

Let Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling wait at home for a while, while he went to the market on the outskirts of Wannian County to buy some iron pots and dishes.

Only Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling were left in the huge house.

Fang Xuanling said to Li Shimin sincerely:"Your Majesty, I know that you owe this child in your heart, but now the northern border is corrupted, and the army will set off tomorrow. Is it ridiculous that you come here to accompany this child to fool around today?"

Li Shimin said fiercely. Face said:"It was you who arranged for my son to come here to be fostered. Otherwise, this child would have succeeded the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. You... don't have the slightest debt in your heart?"

Fang Xuanling was dumbfounded.

Let a 'fool' inherit the crown prince, what the hell, wouldn't the Tang Dynasty be laughed to death by its small neighboring countries?

"Ahem, Your Majesty, do you think this child looks like a normal person?"

"Why doesn't it look like it? He speaks logically and his words are coherent. This is not a normal person. What does it mean to be a normal person? My son's illness has been cured, I... want to show off my cards! Fang

Xuanling turned pale with fright and said anxiously:"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible. Where will you put Li Chengqian in this move?" What reason is there to depose Li Chengqian from the throne?"

"To take a step back, this child...is he really normal?"

How would a normal person in your family talk such nonsense?

Spend 10,000 guan to hoard 100,000 dan of grain?

And you even said that there will be a long-lasting heavy rain in Chang'an in two days?

Could it be that this child has been inspired by the gods and can predict the future?

This is impossible Well!

Li Shimin thought for a while and said:"If that doesn't work, just ask Yuan Tiangang tonight. He is in Qintian Prison and should be able to calculate the weather in recent days."

While the two were talking, Li Yi came back.

He was carrying an iron pot and some chicken, duck and fish meat in his hand.

"You two are in for a treat today. Li Yi smiled,"I guarantee you'll want to eat it again after eating it once!""

The two of them nodded with smiles, and their eyes showed a kind of love for the mentally retarded.

Naturally, Li Yi didn't think too much and asked casually:"What are you two talking about? Are you so speculative? Li

Shimin said with a smile:"Isn't this because I am concerned about recent important events in the court? I heard that your Majesty is going to send troops to northern Xinjiang to attack Jieli Khan.""

Li Yi made a sound and said:"If this matter is not handled well, many soldiers of the Tang Dynasty may be sacrificed."

Huh?

What?

Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling were both in a daze, with unpredictable expressions.

Li Shimin and others had already discussed all the strategies for dispatching troops and possible potential dangers in the court.

They really couldn't figure out where there were any flaws..

Now that they heard what Li Yi said, the two of them immediately became interested.

Li Shimin said:"How do you say this?"
