"Actually, the minister has another suggestion" Li Chao looked at Li Shimin and said with a little hesitation.
"But it doesn't hurt to say it."
"This summer, the harvest was not bad, it was a good year.
However, judging from the current situation, this autumn, it is estimated that the harvest in many places will be difficult to guarantee, not to mention that there is no harvest of grains, but at least it will be greatly affected, and the output will be reduced a lot. ” What Li Chao wants to say is to persuade Li Shimin to transfer now while the situation is still better.
Don't be like the two emperors of the Sui Dynasty before, after encountering a disaster year, they couldn't do it, and they didn't have anything to eat in Guanzhong, so they could only rush to Luoyang with the palace and court officials and the soldiers in Beijing.
"Your Majesty, Guanzhong is cramped and has a lot of people, and food is limited, so it is impossible to be self-sufficient in a normal year, let alone in a year of great disasters.
If His Majesty temporarily patrols Shannan, then at least 100,000 to 200,000 people can be taken away.
With so many people in Guanzhong reduced their food supply, the need for food would be much reduced. ” Xiao Yu couldn't help but interject, "But Hanjing hasn't even chosen the address yet, Your Majesty has gone to Shannan, where do you live with more than 100,000 people?"
Under normal circumstances, Li Chao also knows that to move the capital, you have to build the new capital first, and then slowly move over.
But isn't that a special situation now?
When the new capital is built step by step, even if it is just the imperial palace of Hanjing first, it will take at least five years.
Five years, too long.
Next year there will be a great locust plague, and together with the locust plague, it will be followed by a great famine.
Chang'an is a place where there are many people in a narrow area, and the food supply is insufficient, and after the famine, there is also a shortage of food in the Central Plains, and it is even more difficult to transfer it over.
Besides, with the famine, the grain output in Guanzhong will also be greatly reduced, and the grain gap will be even greater.
The section of the Yellow River in Shaanzhou can't go by grain boat.
Usually transporting hundreds of thousands of stones, it is extremely difficult.
There is a shortage of grain in Guanzhong, and there will be more grain next year, and it is already difficult to transshipment, and it will be even more difficult to keep up with the large gap next year.
It was in this situation that Li Chao proposed to let Li Shimin run away with people earlier.
Of course, Hanjing couldn't be repaired overnight.
Therefore, you can leave Chang'an in the name of patrolling first, so that everyone will not panic.
Shannan is also extended in all directions, and the surrounding areas are directly connected to the grain production areas, and the water and land transportation is convenient.
Go there first, and as for where the people you bring will live.
That's not a problem.
In the past, Yang Guang liked to go out on patrol, and most of the time in the year was outside, and even toured Zhangye in the west, which was in the far away Hexi, and he didn't bring more than 100,000 people.
Once, I encountered a canyon, but I encountered a heavy snowstorm, and then tens of thousands of people froze to death.
Not to mention any dragon boats going down to Yangzhou.
After all, it is an expedient measure, whether it is Jiangling, Xiangyang or Luoyang, where can not squeeze out more than ten or two hundred thousand people.
Let's squeeze together first, and then talk about it after this level.
Squeezing in Xiangyang or Luoyang is better than running out temporarily when Chang'an has nothing to eat.
"Where to go," Li Shimin asked.
Li Chao thought for a while, "Luoyang should have been chosen, although all the palaces in Luoyang were demolished, the city was still there."
However, Luoyang is located on the edge of the Yellow River, and next year's locust plague will break out, and Luoyang will also be the hardest hit area.
Therefore, it is not as good as Xiangyang and Jiangling in Shannan, which was originally the country of abundance in Shuzhong, and it is also a good choice, but the road is far away and difficult to walk, and it is inconvenient to communicate with foreign transportation, so it is not the best choice. ” Yangyang or Gangneung.
Both places are in Shannan Dongdao, Xiangyang is on the Han River, and Jiangling is on the Yangtze River.
Xiangyang and Gangneung are both important towns, and the transportation is also very convenient, but Xiangyang can be regarded as the north, but Gangneung is completely southern.
Li Shimin thought about it and felt that it was better to choose Xiangyang, although Jiangling was larger, Xiangyang was more central.
"If you choose Xiangyang, then now is the time to start preparing.
The minister suggested that when the weather was cool after autumn, he began to patrol and stationed in Xiangyang.
Now we have to send people to Xiangyang to fight the front station, mobilize food, prepare utensils, and rush to repair some military camps, palaces, houses, etc.
In addition, the defense around Xiangyang must also be strengthened.
In addition, Chang'an's side must also start to prepare.
Each government has to send people to the front station, and some materials must also start to be transferred over, and each government has to decide which people will stay behind and which people will move. ” "Wen Yuan is right, slowly transfer to the past, and strive to move all the things that are going to be over before the year."
Ba Shang Li's family.
Around a table of locust feasts, the emperor and the prime ministers began to discuss state affairs.

The crown prince Chengqian also sat aside to listen, but he did not so much stay to listen to the kings and ministers discuss important matters, but rather to stay and eat locusts.
All kinds of locust feasts are all made by Li Chao himself, and there are not many opportunities.
So Li Shimin and they chatted about one plan after another, and Li Chengqian ate the locusts one by one.
Eat to the pleasure of even forgetting the convergence, eating clicking.
Li Shimin turned his head dissatisfied.
"Father, my sons think these locusts are too hateful, I want to eat a little more."
This answer, well, Li Shimin accepted it.
Then he picked one up and chewed it hard.
"Well, eat one by one."
Cheng Qian can finally let go of the big food, "Why doesn't my father issue an edict and let the people of the world go to catch locusts, so that there will definitely be fewer locusts, and the disaster will be smaller." ” Li Shimin didn't want to say that the prince was ignorant, and when there was a big locust plague, it was hundreds of millions of people, and it was overwhelming.
What's the use of eating one or two, it's a drop in the bucket.
Li Chao said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not wrong, Your Majesty, it is better to issue an edict, let the people of the world go to catch locusts, encourage everyone to eat locusts, and even issue a decree, the people can use locusts to exchange food for the government." ” "One stone of dried locusts for one stone of grain" Li Shimin took a breath.
Seeing that there will be a big drought and then a big locust plague next year, the imperial court will also have to stock up on grain and prepare for the disaster "Your Majesty, as the minister said before, locusts are dried and then ground into powder, which is also a good feed, which can be fed to chickens and ducks, and can even be boiled and eaten directly, which is also food.
Nutritional" Li Shimin is still a little unable to directly equate locusts with grain, let alone such a thing as exchanging one stone of grain for one stone of locusts.
"Your Majesty, if everybody comes to catch locusts, and everybody treats locusts as a kind of food, even if it's just something of value that can be exchanged for food, then many locusts will be caught.
As for the money and food for the locusts, the Li family is willing to pay. ” "The Li family is willing to come out" Li Shimin was even more surprised. t1706231537:
