Enter the Tang Dynasty with space

Chapter 123

Just when Li Shimin was hesitating, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui said: "Your Majesty, I think that Dai Guogong is young and promising, so he must be able to take on this role!"

Fang Mou and Du Juan had already spoken, and the balance in Li Shimin's heart finally tilted towards Yang Zheng: "Since the two prime ministers believe that Dai Guogong is worthy of a great job, Yang Zheng accepts it!"

"Chen is here!"

"I have appointed you as the Grand Marshal of the Great Tang Army and Horses, and reorganize the Great Tang Army as soon as possible for future use!"

"The minister leads the decree to thank you!"

Li Shimin smiled: "Marshal, I have high expectations for you. By the way, your seal of command has not yet been obtained. After the Ministry of Industry is completed, I will be on stage to grant the seal in three days!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yang Zheng was also happy in his heart. Now he has finally reached the Generalissimo of the Army and Horses. This Generalissimo is set up relative to wartime.When there is no war, the marshal is just a idle job, which is in line with Yang Zheng's character. Don't I just like farming and letting horses go?

Yang Zheng originally wanted to leave tomorrow, but it seems that he will stay for a few more days. After he gets his seal of command, he will order the troops from all walks of life. Thinking about it, it is still very majestic.

As soon as Li Shimin's appointment was announced, the generals in the Tai Chi Hall had different expressions on their faces. The generals of Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong all supported Li Shimin's decision very much. The bigger reason for Zheng's friendship is that they saw Yang Zheng's ability, not to mention anything else, can other generals be able to ride a thousand horses into the camp to catch Xieli alive?

But Hou Junji, Li Ji and others were obviously empty-hearted. They thought that Li Jing had retired and they could fill in the vacancy, but they didn't expect that in the end it would be a young boy who took over.Li Ji was better, but Hou Junji thought to himself that he followed Li Shimin to fight in the north and south, and made great achievements in battle. Even when Jieli's troops came to Chang'an, he led his troops to attack Jieli's flank continuously, which forced Jieli to give up attacking Chang'an for the time being. With the help of the plan, Chang'an City turned from danger to safety.But today, he was compared to a brat, Hou Junji was naturally resentful.

Next, Fang Xuanling interrupted everyone's thinking, and turned to the third item: "Everyone, the Generalissimo also mentioned the third item: the development of agriculture. For the high-yielding sweet potatoes, corn, and yams provided by the Generalissimo Everyone should have been touched by the crops, so the Generalissimo proposed that the imperial court directly set up a Ministry of Agriculture to be responsible for agricultural development and management. The Ministry of Agriculture will be directly under the leadership of His Majesty, and the first Secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture will be Ma Zhou. Hey, who is this Ma Zhou? "Fang Xuanling suddenly cried out in surprise while thinking.

Yang Zheng was also taken aback. Could it be that he didn't even know Ma Zhou?This is a famous minister of the Tang Dynasty!

All the ministers looked at each other, apparently Ma Zhou was not in the hall.

Li Shimin asked: "Grand Marshal, where did you hear about the candidate for the Ministry of Agriculture? I have never heard of such a person?"

Yang Zheng slapped his forehead suddenly, and he made an oolong mess. This Ma Zhou is the disciple of Chang He, the general of Zhonglang. Judging by everyone’s expressions, it should be that Ma Zhou has not written the letter on behalf of Chang He. In history, Ma Zhou wrote on behalf of Chang He. An article was discovered by Li Shimin as a personal talent, and then he was entrusted with it for reuse.

Yang Zheng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Ma Zhou is a great talent. I heard that this man is currently living under Zhonglang General Chang He's family. Your Majesty can send someone to summon him into the palace. Your Majesty will not be disappointed!"

Li Shimin wondered in his heart, how does this kid know so much?My eyes and ears are all over Chang'an City, logically speaking, I should be able to know about Ma Zhou.However, seeing Yang Zheng's certainty, Li Shimin believed it a little bit, and immediately ordered: "Send me an order, quickly call Zhonglang General Chang Hemen to dismount and enter the palace to meet him!"

The attendant conveyed Li Shimin's order to Gao Xing, and Gao Xing hurriedly sent someone to deliver the order.

Li Shimin said again: "Generalissimo, how to cultivate the crops you donated, I'm afraid that all the family members are not proficient in this way? I'm afraid Ma Zhou is not as proficient as you!"

Yang Zheng said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will write a volume of cultivation and planting techniques for various crops for your majesty and ministers' reference. Now I will briefly introduce the cultivation and planting of various crops. The minister of sweet potato planting recommends Planting in March, Guo County can be used as a base for raising sweet potato seedlings. The climate in Guo County is different from other areas, which is very suitable for seedling raising, and it is convenient for irrigation. Since then, it has been promoted year by year, and sweet potatoes can be spread all over the Tang Dynasty; the cultivation of artichokes is relatively simple, as long as the land is soft enough and the climate is cool enough, a little fertilizer is enough; as for corn, it must require fertile land and irrigation. It is sufficient, it is best to plant on the plains, so that the light time is longer, which is very good for the growth of corn."

The seeds left by Yang Zheng can only be planted in some areas of Guanzhong, and it will take at least two years to fully promote them. However, Yang Zheng is also happy to hand over the technology to others, otherwise Li Shimin will always come to bother him, and it will be hard.

Li Shimin laughed and said: "Hahaha, I didn't expect our military commander to talk about agricultural economics in a clear way. I have learned it today!"

"Where is it, the subject is originally a farmer, if you really want to develop agriculture, you have to be led by His Majesty!"

There were bursts of hearty laughter in the Tai Chi Hall.

Fang Xuanling then read the fourth item: "The Generalissimo put forward the fourth suggestion: Vigorously develop the animal husbandry industry, and suggested to open up the Datang natural pasture in the northern prairie that was just occupied, and use it as my Datang's animal husbandry base from now on. I don’t know what you think of this proposal?”

Everyone was in an uproar, boy, this northern prairie is vast, if it is used by Datang, it will definitely greatly increase the production of livestock, which will be of great benefit to Datang's military strength and people's livelihood.

Changsun Wuji said, "Your Majesty, I think this move is too aggressive. Now that the northern grasslands have just been pacified, there are very few barriers on the grasslands. There are many nomadic peoples in the north. I am afraid that a large number of troops will be needed to protect them. The Generalissimo just Suggesting disarmament, aren't the two contradictory?"

Wei Zheng also came out to persuade: "Your Majesty, this move is indeed a bit aggressive. I think that if you want to do this, you should conquer the northern tribes first, and then implement it after the world is peaceful! Otherwise, you will be burdened by the northern barbarians, and the gains will not be worth the losses!"

However, Yang Zheng chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, you can rest assured that this time the grazing outside the Great Wall will be borne by you! I can guarantee that the barbarians in the north will buy livestock from us at Tang with money. The barbarians in the north have always been at odds with each other." , although it was temporarily unified under the power of Xieli, but now that Xieli has fallen, the barbarians in the north will inevitably fall into chaos again in order to chase water and grass. My Tang Dynasty can just sit back and watch the changes, and change the strategy of curbing the barbarians. Use the ranch to trade with the barbarians, collect all their wealth, and consume their national power. Within three years, the barbarians in the north will be poor and ruined. At that time, they will either rely on my Tang Dynasty or be conquered by my Tang Dynasty. also!"

Yang Zheng's words are naturally reasonable. Although Datang's national power is growing day by day, its population is not strong. It will take a few more years of recuperation before the treasury can be filled and the people can live in peace. Attack must be taken!The attack on Jieli this time almost exhausted Datang's treasury, and there are still a lot of supplies in it sponsored by Yang Zheng privately. If we continue to attack the northern barbarians, it will obviously drag the country down and be detrimental to the country's development.

But this time the ranch is concentrated, with the supplement of space livestock and the stimulation of the space spirit spring, the pasture will definitely prosper, and the pasture is close to the barbarians in the north. At that time, you only need to guard the pasture. If you want to take it by force, Then Yang Zheng doesn't mind using a few tyrannosaurus rex to lead the army or release space beasts to intimidate them. After all, few people are not afraid of death. If they are injured a few times, the northern ministries will no longer be ready to move, and the high-quality livestock will definitely make them Salivating, the only way to get these livestock is to trade with Datang, and in this way, the wealth will flow in.

Besides, Yang Zheng did his best to bear the responsibility, and Li Shimin didn't pay a penny. Is there such a good thing?So Li Shimin immediately said happily: "Okay, the Generalissimo is indeed resourceful and courageous, so how about it, the old rules, I will split the accounts with your monarch and ministers, haha, what does the Generalissimo think?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your success!" Yang Zheng responded, but he was cursing in his heart: Nima, why is I so unlucky, every time I get half of it taken away by you, a bad and stupid king, but these are almost worthless business, haha, It doesn't hurt to give you half.

In Yang Zheng's plan, the northern grassland will be divided into a separate province, that is to say, this large natural pasture will be the size of a province. This is indeed a huge plan, and winter begins early in the north, which requires Zheng must connect the Yunhe River with the river on the grassland as soon as possible, and then use the space spirit spring to change the cold climate, so that livestock can be raised all year round.

Fang Xuanling felt relieved when he saw the monarch and his ministers talking and laughing. It was so comfortable to do work like this. With Yang Zheng around, everyone would be more relaxed, especially him and Du Ruhui. The tasks of the two prime ministers were very It was heavy, but Yang Zheng's suggestions today relieved the two of them a lot of burden. There were more people working, so the two of them were naturally happy and relaxed.

"Your Majesty, the memorial is finished, what's next?" Fang Xuanling asked Li Shimin what to do next after reading the memorial.

It was supposed to be on the first day of the new year, but we talked about a lot of state affairs and discussed for a long time. Only then did everyone realize that today is very different from previous years. Is this still New Year's greetings?It's obviously working overtime during the Spring Festival!
However, Li Shimin showed no displeasure at all. Yang Zheng's suggestions today are very good. The administrative divisions have been resolved, the army has been settled, agricultural production has been settled, and the animal husbandry industry has also drawn a blueprint. Li Shimin is in a very good mood. , Immediately ordered a feast for all the ministers in the Taiji Palace.

However, Yang Zheng spoke again: "Your Majesty, I still have an unfinished policy in the memorial, so I will not vomit today!"
