(Finally rushed to the top of the public author's new book list, thank you for your support, especially
The reward of Breeze εζξ!thanks! )
Early the next morning, Cheng Yaojin came!

"Nephew, come with me, Your Majesty is already waiting for you at the gate of Mingde!"

Yang Zheng hurriedly jumped on Laura, brought two servants and followed Cheng Yaojin on horseback!

From afar, I saw a large group of people at the gate of Mingde. Since this time he was defending Guocun privately, Li Shimin didn't put on any ostentation, but there were quite a few personal guards around him!
Yang Zheng came up close, dismounted and bowed down: "Yang Zheng, a man from Chenguo County, pays his respects to His Majesty!"

Li Shimin raised his hand and said: "You don't need to be polite when you return bravely, you are a good horse!"

Yang Zheng thought badly, did Li Shimin take a fancy to me again?So he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is wise, this horse is tamed from wild horses! There are still a few horses in my family, and I would like to dedicate them to the emperor!"

Li Shimin laughed loudly: "Haha, Yonggui is really hiding something! If that's the case, then I will suffer! By the way, this is the queen, this is the eldest princess, this is the king of Shu, this is the king of Yue, and this is the minister. The left servant shoots Fang Xuanling, this is Shangshu and the right servant shoots Du Ruhui, this is the eldest grandson Wuji, uncle of the country! Get to know each other first, and go to your house later to avoid panic!"

Damn, the whole family mobilizes?

Yang Zheng glanced at Empress Changsun on the phoenix chariot. Although Empress Changsun was not very beautiful, she was graceful and luxurious, and the maternity of the world was evident on her face!And the little girl next to her is naturally the eldest princess Li Lizhi. This girl looks good, she stared at Yang Zheng, and then she blushed and lowered her head!

Yang Zheng secretly remembered that although Li Lizhi in history had received the highest honor and favor during her lifetime, this flower was not only planted in cow dung, but also withered early, should he change her fate?

Yang Zheng was busy asking for a courtesy, but he heard Empress Changsun say softly: "There is no need to be more polite when you return bravely! Your Majesty, it's getting late, so you'd better get on your way early!"

Li Shimin nodded and said: "The Queen's words are very true, and I passed on my words: Let's go!"

Yu Chigong led dozens of people from the left Qianniuwei to explore the road ahead, while Cheng Yaojin drove along with the right Qianniuwei!The emperor's safety is still the most important thing!
Li Shimin ordered Yang Zheng to follow behind him, and Yang Zheng followed the two princes Li Ke and Li Tai on the left and right. Li Ke looked like a modest gentleman, but Li Tai was different. Look at Yang Zheng!
Li Shimin asked Yang Zheng's life experience while walking: "Yonggui, you said you came from the Far West, how is this Far West?"

Yang Zheng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the land in the far west is very vast. Let's put it this way, we all live on a sphere. This sphere has land, mountains, seas, rivers and lakes. My Tang Dynasty only It's just a small part of the land! The land in the far west that I mentioned is tens of thousands of kilometers away from the Tang Dynasty, where the land is sparsely populated and the products are rich!"

Li Shimin's eyes sparkled when he heard the words: "So, the Far West Land is a land without an owner?"

Yang Zheng said: "No, but these countries are very small. Compared with Datang, it is like the difference between ants and elephants!"

Li Shimin was secretly proud after hearing this. The national power of the Tang Dynasty was still unquestionable!
But Li Tai suddenly asked: "What Guo Xiannan said just now we all live on a sphere, so why didn't we fall?"

Yang Zheng thought to himself, can I explain the law of universal gravitation to you now?That is to say, I'm afraid you kid can't understand it!
It was Li Shimin who said: "Qingque doesn't know something, what Yonggui said is good, Yuan Tianshi also mentioned it to me, you should study more about astronomy and geography in the future!"

Li Tai immediately said respectfully: "Yes, father!"

Li Shimin asked again: "Yonggui, what do you think I will win if I attack those countries in the Far West?"

Yang Zheng said: "Your Majesty, I think it's wrong! Our Tang Dynasty is too far away from them. Even if we can win, we can't occupy it for a long time. Today, the Turks are still threatening the border of the Tang Dynasty. I think it should be done step by step, and the country will become rich first." the people, and then uproot the Turks! When our Great Tang Dynasty shakes the world, all nations will come to court! Why does Your Majesty need to go to war?" Yang Zheng thought to himself to use the current Great Tang to attack these countries, although force can win, But the national power cannot afford it!What's more, there is an Arab Empire in the middle. This guy is not weak now, and Datang is not sure of victory yet!
Li Shimin couldn't help but stare at Yang Zheng for a while when he heard the words, Yang Zheng thought to himself, did he say something wrong?

Suddenly, Li Shimin sighed and said: "Yonggui's words are very true! Now my Tang Dynasty is being harassed by the Turks, and I want to solve them at once, but the national power of the Tang Dynasty is not strong enough. This march and war requires a lot of money and food. Although I have a mighty teacher, I am in a dilemma!"

Yang Zheng said: "Your Majesty don't need to worry, I have a few things, you can immediately replenish the grain and grass! When you arrive at the minister's house, Your Majesty will naturally know! But this year can only be planted for one season, and it may take two years to fully replenish the granary! "

Li Shimin was overjoyed when he heard the words: "If it is as Yonggui said, I don't have to worry about it. Yonggui has made great contributions, and I will not hesitate to ask for any rewards! Tell the whole army to speed up!"

Li Shimin couldn't wait a long time ago. Attacking Turks is really not that fun. These nomads move erratically. If you hit them, they will run away. If you want to completely eliminate them, you must drive straight in and take their lair. And such a march will provide a huge supply of food and grass. If there is a way to solve this problem, Li Shimin doesn't mind giving Yang Zheng any rewards!Yang Zheng was overjoyed, Li Shimin, since you opened your mouth, don't blame me for talking like a lion, just give me your daughter when the time comes!

With Li Shimin's order, the forward speed accelerated a lot, and at around 12 o'clock, they finally arrived at Guocun!

Yuchi Gong, who arrived early, had already ordered the Qianniu Guards to repair the defense area, and at the same time notified Liu Ying and others to pick him up!

Has Liu Ying ever seen such a scene?Her legs were trembling uncontrollably, but Mrs. Yang had a lot of experience, so she quickly pulled Liu Ying to her knees: "My concubine pays homage to Your Majesty!"

Li Shimin laughed and said: "Haha, don't be too polite! Return bravely, is this your family?"

"Your Majesty, this is my mother, Mrs. Yang, and this is Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Ai!" Yang Zheng introduced one by one.

"Haha, Yonggui, you actually managed to get such a good woman, you are really a young man!" Li Shimin laughed loudly, this place is affected by Lingquan, the air is very good, Li Shimin felt very comfortable, and took the lead go ahead!

Li Shimin felt extremely happy when he saw Yang Zheng's fish pond and vegetable garden, and saw the cattle, sheep, and red deer on the grass. Not to mention how happy he was, he immediately jumped off his horse and went to visit!

"Haha, this Guocun is really nice. Yonggui, how many fish are there in your fish pond?"

"Your Majesty, it's estimated that there are tens of thousands of them!" Yang Zheng's fish pond reproduces extremely fast, and the growth rate is also super fast, so Yang Zheng estimates that there is no deviation.

Li Shimin smacked his lips when he heard the words: "Tsk tsk, no wonder your business is so good. You have so many back-up supplies. You really don't have to worry about it. By the way, where are the things you mentioned? Take me to have a look." !"

Yang Zheng took Li Shimin to the field of sweet potatoes, corn, and yams. He squatted down and pulled up a sweet potato plant. He saw that the sweet potato vine was densely covered with sweet potatoes of different sizes!Yang Zheng smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this crop is sweet potato, which grows fast and is drought-resistant. It is easy to grow and can be eaten raw or cooked. It can also be made into dried sweet potato, which is easy to carry. The yield per mu can reach about seven thousand catties, that is, About seventy stone!"

Seventy stone?Li Shimin couldn't help but stare wide-eyed and took the sweet potato vine to watch carefully. This sweet potato vine produced 8 sweet potatoes!
Li Shimin reached out and picked a few sweet potatoes, weighed them, and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, good, this thing is good! Come on, cook these sweet potatoes for me right away! I want to taste it!"

Yang Zheng pointed to the plants full of corn and said: "Your Majesty, this is corn, commonly known as corn, and the yield per mu is not small. The highest estimate can reach twenty stones! And the corn stalks can be used as feed for war horses! It is very important." Useful crop!"

Li Shimin stared at the buns without blinking, then picked some of the buns and handed them to the guard: "Take them and cook them, I want to have a taste!"

Yang Zheng pulled out another yam plant, and a lot of yams grew on it, Yang Zheng said: "Your Majesty, this kind of crop is called yam, and its yield is slightly less than that of sweet potatoes, and the yield per mu can reach about 50 shi! This must be cooked before eating, otherwise it will be poisoned!"

Considering that there were no chemical fertilizers in ancient times, Yang Zheng didn't have to worry about the yield if he had a spiritual spring, but it would be hard to say if other people planted it, so he still laid some ambushes!
Li Shimin couldn't hide his excitement, his hand holding the potato vine was shaking a little!
Fang Xuanling and others stepped forward one after another and said, "Your Majesty, great joy, great joy!"

Li Shimin's voice trembled and said: "Everyone loves... Ai Qing... what you said, what you said is very true! I, a man from Guo County, didn't have a white seal! You all advised me before that you can't just make a marquis casually, but I didn't know that I had already It can be seen that this child has an extraordinary origin! With these kinds of things, the common people will have food, and the court will be able to recover. I will be able to gather enough food for the three armies in a short period of time. Let me see where the Turks are going this time !"

Everyone hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Li Shimin is still thinking about his hard days in the past few years. Floods, locust plagues, and droughts have caused people all over the world to wander around. The Tang Dynasty is struggling. Many places in the country have suffered floods this year. That way, you don't have to blame yourself anymore!It's time to relax this day!
Yang Zheng then took Li Shimin to visit fresh crops from the Tang Dynasty such as peanuts and sea peppers. Li Shimin then pushed aside a peanut, threw it into his mouth and ate it!

"Well, that's right. You can also eat raw peanuts. Although they are not as crispy as fried peanuts, they still have a special taste. Xuanling, Keming, Wuji, you all have a taste!"

Fang Xuanling and the others also peeled the peanuts and ate them, and they all praised it!
Yang Zheng looked at the big brothers of the Tang Dynasty with a smile on his side, thinking that the prosperity and wealth would not be able to escape now!
Then Li Shimin's eyes were attracted by a rice field again: "Hey, isn't this rice? My dear family, why do you think the rice of Yongguijia is different?"
