Wu Zetian sighed and said, "It would be great if he could think of a way to make the wealthy families in Guanzhong willing to open the warehouse and release grain."

"This is difficult." Liu Yizhi and the other four shook their heads together.

Wu Zetian turned his eyes to Pei Shaoqing again and asked, "Do you have a way?"

Pei Shaoqing smiled slightly and said, "I can't do it even if the noble families in Guanzhong are willing to open the warehouse and release grain, but it's okay to seize a little grain from their granaries."

"Oh?" Liu Yizhi and the other four were stunned when they heard this.

Wu Zetian said: "The wealthy families of Guanzhong have stored more than tens of millions of stones of food, and they only seized eleven, which is enough to allow the people of Guanzhong to survive this famine."

Pei Shaoqing said: "It would be no pressure to only take eleven."

Wu Zetian said: "Tell me quickly, what is the way?"

"Gambling!" Pei Shaoqing smiled, "win the food through fighting."

"What? Fighting?" Wu Zetian's face turned dark in an instant. Isn't this nonsense?

Liu Yizhi and the other two looked at each other, thinking that Pei Sicheng was really joking this time.

Not to mention that the noble families in Guanzhong do not all like to play. Even if they all like to play, how could they lose so much food for you? You are afraid that you don’t know that these guys are all iron roosters.

Pei Shaoqing seemed to guess what Liu Yizhi was thinking and said with a smile: "Yes, the heads of these noble families are all iron roosters. Even if they like to play, they will not lose so much."

"But their son and grandson are extremely generous."

"Yes, Liu Zhangyuan, you guessed it right, it was the group of second-generation ancestors of the Imperial College."

"Almost all the children of Guanlong and Shandong aristocratic tribes have their children studying in Hongwenguan or Chongwenguan."

"So, as long as Liu Zhangyuan allows me to open a gambling file in Hongwenguan, I will be sure to collect at least one-tenth of the grain in the granaries of the aristocratic tribes in Guanzhong and even Shandong."

"If you are lucky, it is not impossible to get half of it."

"No!" Liu Yizhi flatly refused, "Hongwenguan is a place to study, how can we open a gambling file?"

"Then I have no choice." Pei Shaoqing said with a spreading hand, "and he could only watch the land of Guanzhong starving and eating each other."

After saying this, Pei Shaoqing continued: "Liu Zhangyuan, you could have saved them."

"This..." Liu Yizhi's face immediately showed a look of entanglement, and the two villains began to fight in his mind.

One villain said, how can the holy land of the school to be blasphemed? Another villain immediately said, "The people are the most important, and no matter how sacred the school is, can it be more sacred than the lives of the people?"

Pei Shaoqing also said: "Liu Zhangyuan, Mencius once said: The people are the most important, the country is the next, and the king is the least important."

Liu Yizhi's face was even more entangled, and he asked weakly: "Do you have to be in Hongwenguan?"

"Not that." Pei Shaoqing saw that the temperature was almost done, so he smiled and said, "Pingkangfang is only one street away from Wubenfang. It is actually not impossible to find a place to open a gambling stall in Pingkangfang."

"Just Pingkangfang!" Liu Yizhi said hurriedly, "Just Pingkangfang."

Pei Shaoqing looked embarrassed and said, "But in this way, I'm afraid I can't go to the Imperial College to be in prison every day."

"It's okay." Liu Yiyi waved his hand and said, "If you can really take millions of stones of grain from those noble families and help the people of Guanzhong survive this famine, I will save you from being in prison."

"Not only that, I can also give you a top-notch test during the supervision exam."

Speaking of this, he said, "What's the harm in front of the queen today?"

Wu Zetian smiled and said, "Why do you need Liu Qing to show off your personal gain? I will issue a decree to him."

Pei Shaoqing blinked and said, "Empress, am I considered opening a gambling file under the order?"

"I can give you the imperial edict." Wu Zetian said, "But the errand cannot be done well..."

"The Queen of Heaven does not need to say this." Pei Shaoqing said, "If the errand is done, the Queen of Heaven does not need to issue an order. I will have already bought a piece of tofu and hit it to death."

"Clean the humble saying." Wu Zetian scolded, "How can tofu hit someone to death?"

"So it." Pei Shaoqing smiled, "How can I mess up the gambling file after the order is opened?"

"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you." Wu Zetian nodded and said to Liu Yizhi and the other four, "Also, the investigation of Yantian and Yanjing must also be carried out quickly."

"Here!" Liu Yizhi and the other four agreed.

"Set back to the palace." After Wu Zetian said that, she turned around and left.

"I'm so kind to send the queen to the emperor." Liu Yizhi and Pei Shaoqing crossed their hands.

After seeing Wu Zetian off, Liu Yizhi stood up again and looked at Pei Shaoqing with a complicated look.

"Pei Sicheng, you have actually planned it for a long time, right?" Liu Yizhi said, "From the beginning, you never thought of going to the Imperial College to be honest in prison, right?"

Pei Shaoqing said: "Liu Zhangyuan, you are wronging me."

How could Pei Shaoqing admit such a thing? He could not admit it even if he died.

"Actually, I really hope you can read more scriptures. In this case, I might be..." Speaking of this, Liu Yizhi suddenly changed the subject and said, "Forget it, I won't talk about this."

"In the future, I will not force you to go to the Imperial College for jail."

"But you still have to read as many scriptures as possible."

"If you have time, you can go to the Imperial College for more time, and it will be no harm in the end."

"It's a must." Pei Shaoqing smiled, "Liu Zhangyuan, you will always be my mentor."

After saying this, Pei Shaoqing really bowed to Liu Yizhi and sang loudly: "My teacher is here, please be bowed by a student Pei Shaoqing."

Liu Yizhi will be a prime minister in the future, with thick thighs.

"Get up." Liu Yizhi helped Pei Shaoqing up.

Liu Yizhi said again: "It's okay to open a gambling file in Pingkangfang. It's okay to attract Hongwenguan and Chongwenguan students to participate in the show in Pingkangfang, but you must not affect the poor children of the other six schools."

"It's the end of the first lunar month now, and the Ministry of Rites will be tested in less than two months."

"So at this time, we must not affect the hard study of those poor families."

"These poor children are different from the children of aristocratic families. The imperial examination is their only way out."

"Don't worry, my teacher." Pei Shaoqing said, "I promise to only harm the children of those aristocratic families."

Liu Yizhi's face turned dark when he heard this. Why did this sound a little strange? It seemed like he was instigating students to harm the children of aristocratic families? This is what a gentleman should not do!

Pei Shaoqing said: "If the teacher has nothing else, the student will say goodbye first?"

"Go." Liu Yizhi nodded and said, "If you have time, read more books, especially the Book of Filial Piety."
