"Greetings, Your Majesty! Your Majesty! "
They entered the Imperial Study.
Everyone looked solemn.
But when they saw Empress Zhangsun, they quickly saluted.
Although they were very casual in the Imperial Study, they had to be well-behaved in the presence of the Empress.
Empress Zhangsun waved her hand lightly and motioned for everyone to get up.
"Your Majesty, I'll take my leave!"
Empress Zhangsun hurriedly left as she spoke.
Then everyone hurriedly told Li Shimin all the news they had received earlier.
Li Shimin's head was about to explode.
But at this moment.
He had to force himself to stay alert.
"What do you think we should do about this? Should we send troops or wait and see? Wei Zheng, tell me your opinion! "
Wei Zheng heard this, pondered for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, I think the best way now is to deal with all changes by sticking to the status quo!"
"Oh?"
"Now our first thing is to solve the problem of water shortage in Longyou Road. As for the Tubo and Tuyuhun matter, it's an outsider's business and has nothing to do with us. It's best if they're all dead!"
"Now, the nearest water source to Longyou Road is on Mount Qilian, but it's too far away, so I don't know how to cut it off!"
Li Shimin was shocked.
The water in the entire Longyou Road was gone, then …
"Are there any other water sources?"
"Your Majesty, the other water sources are almost dry. At this time, only Qilian Lake under Mount Qilian has water!"
Wei Zheng said quickly, "Even the main water sources in Liangzhou, Shazhou, and Ganzhou are almost dry!"
Li Shimin was shocked.
Almost dry!
Except for Mount Qilian.
This …
How to solve this!?
"Do you have any ideas?"
"Also, what's going on at the border? Is there really no other way? "
Li Shimin was shocked.
He finally understood what Zhang Feng meant when he said that the drought would never be as simple as he imagined it to be …
This thing was accompanied by a lack of water!
The direct result of a lack of water was drought!
An endless drought!
"Is there a solution?"
Li Shimin could no longer sit still.
"For the time being, there's no need to pay too much attention to the matter at the border. They're already too busy taking care of themselves. It's impossible for them to improve their situation in a short period of time. As for Long Youdao …"
"Your Majesty, the only way to solve this drought is to dig a canal from Mount Qilian!"
Li Shimin's eyes lit up. "How long will it take to resolve this matter?"
"Three … Three Moons!"
"March …"
In these three months, the cucumbers had already turned cold!
This …
Li Shimin felt like the world was spinning.
If that was the case, then this drought would cause panic among the people. Coupled with the locusts that would follow …
Li Shimin couldn't help but think of Zhang Feng!
Perhaps only Zhang Feng could resolve this matter. If even he could not resolve it, then it would really be over.
…
The next day.
The sky was still dark.
Li Shimin hurried out of the palace after dealing with important matters. When he arrived at the East Market, the sun had already risen to the top of his head.
At this time, Zhang Feng yawned and slowly opened the door of his shop.
As soon as he opened the door, Zhang Feng was stunned.
He saw Lao Li sitting on the floor in front of the door in a daze.
"Yo, Lao Li, what's wrong with you?"
"Quick, come in, don't sit on the floor!"
Zhang Feng was a little confused.
Could it be that this guy was chased out by his wife for cheating?
But, it didn't seem right!
However, when Li Shimin turned around and looked at Zhang Feng, Zhang Feng saw his red eyes and understood something.
This guy must have been caught cheating on his wife!
"Lao Li! What kind of situation are you in now? Are you really going to do that? "
"Hey! Little Brother Zhang, I don't have time for that! "
Li Shimin couldn't help but smile bitterly. "Haven't I been dealing with the business of Longyou Dao these days?"
"How is it?"
Zhang Feng asked curiously.
"How can it be?"
"The continuous drought has caused the farmland, which was already on the brink of crisis, to be completely ruined!"
"At this time, except for the Qilian Mountain, there is no water in other places in Longyou Dao!"
"Brother, I'm going to go bankrupt!"
Li Shimin said affectionately.
But seriously.
If the business of Longyou Dao was not dealt with properly, then the Tang Dynasty would really go bankrupt!
And at that time, the Tang Dynasty would be the most miserable empire in history!
Zhang Feng listened carefully to Li Shimin's complaints. He was not surprised at all. Instead, he seemed to have known it all along. This made Li Shimin more and more confused.
"Lao Li! I really know how to deal with this! And I can tell you that we won't go bankrupt! "
"Do you know why I said before that this drought is far from as simple as you think?"
"In addition to the border problem, the biggest problem is to deal with the shortage of water!"
"I really overestimated the emperor before. I thought he could think of that, but I didn't expect that the emperor could also be confused!"
Li Shimin blushed.
But this was not the time to pursue the matter. He hurriedly asked, "Then, how do you think this matter should be solved?"
"Don't worry!"
Zhang Feng waved his hand.
He said lightly, "Let me ask you, now that there is a drought, what does Longyou Dao need the most?"
"Water!"
"Do you still need to say that?"
Li Shimin was a little confused and said doubtfully.
"Yes!"
"Water!"
Zhang Feng snapped his fingers and said mysteriously, "Lao Li! Your chance to make a fortune is here again! "
"…"
