Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 211

[Nanzhao, located in the land of ancient Baiyue, is rich in two seasons of rice, that is, in summer and autumn, both rice is ripe. 】

[As a result, Nanzhao's grain reserves are extremely rich, so it is absolutely appropriate to borrow grain from Nanzhao. When the time comes to go straight to Liangzhou by water, the famine problem in Liangzhou can be solved easily. 】

After listening to Li Fu's heartfelt thoughts, Li Shimin's eyes flashed, Nanzhao actually had two crops of rice!
Li Shimin has never heard of such a rare thing as rice that can mature in summer and autumn.

If he had known that Nanzhao had such a good thing, he might have leveled the entire Nanzhao by the Tang Bingfeng, but it is not too late to know now!
If it is said that Nanzhao's current grain reserves are extremely rich, then it is just a good time to take this opportunity to ask them to borrow some. As for the repayment, it is really as Li Fu thought, and we will talk about it at that time.

"Your Majesty, I believe that even if the situation is like this, we should still raise food and grass from Jiangnan and Lingnan. Even if the water in the distance cannot quench the thirst, it is at least the limit that can be achieved at present." Fang Xuanling is still stating his opinion at this moment. opinion.

But at this moment, Li Shimin's thoughts were all on Li Fu's heart, so he didn't hear what Fang Xuanling said at all.

"Your Majesty, this is..." Seeing that Li Shimin seemed to be distracted, Fang Xuanling couldn't help but raise his voice a little.

Only then did Li Shimin come to his senses, and looked at Fang Xuanling, "Uh, what did Prime Minister Fang just say?"

At this moment, Fang Xuanling thought that Li Shimin was depressed because of the famine in Liangzhou, so he couldn't concentrate, so he stated his point of view again.

"The lands in the south of the Yangtze River and the South of the Five Ridges, because of the floods last year, had a difficult time for themselves. Even if there is food to borrow, the journey is far away. When it comes to Liangzhou, it may take at least three months!"

"Then don't borrow grain from Jiangnan and Lingnan, just borrow grain from Hedong, open the granary in Hedong and Chang'an, and transport it to Liangzhou to relieve the disaster!" Li Shimin waved his hand.

"Up to three months, I will replenish the grain in the granaries in the two places, and just do as I said."

"Uh..." Fang Xuanling heard Li Shimin's words, and couldn't help cupping his hands to remind him: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. Once the granaries in the two places are opened, if they can't be replenished in time, before the autumn harvest, there may be a crisis between the east and the west. The people of Chang'an must all go hungry!"

"Once other disasters break out at that time, I'm afraid the situation will be even more serious than it is now!"

Fang Xuanling didn't take Li Shimin's promise just now as true, and Li Shimin's face suddenly became gloomy.

"I have already said, three months, three months at the most, I will return twice the grain I took out of the granary, isn't it okay?"

Hearing what Li Shimin said to this point, all the ministers dared not speak, and even Fang Xuanling could only bow down and promise.

Li Fu looked on in amazement, 【Where did this old bastard Li Er get his confidence? Is he so tough? 】

[It took only three months, and the relief and the repayment of food, or double, is he joking? 】

[Could it be that he already knew about Nanzhao state-owned food?Can't! 】

[Recently, Li Er's attention is all on the barbarians in the north, how could he notice the south? 】

[Besides, with his narrow vision, even if he knew that there was food in Nanxun, he would not dare to beat him up, maybe he would have to buy it out of his own pocket, and then they would raise the price...]

Li Fu belittled Li Shimin again in his heart, which made Li Shimin feel so angry that he was about to vomit blood.

When the officials left, Li Shimin left Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde alone.

"You two, I asked you to go to Tuyuhun, but it turned out that you were lucky, and finally ran back to be a messenger. If I had known this, what kind of battle did I ask you to fight?" Kim was stunned.

"Your Majesty, you have to speak with your conscience. It's not that I don't want to make contributions. It's because Xue Rengui is too strong!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, even if we stay in Tuyuhun, we might not be able to catch up with Xue Rengui, so we might as well come back!"

Yuchi Jingde repeatedly called Qu, "Your Majesty, you don't know that the Modao Army is equipped with horses, and their horses are different from ours. They are all equipped with horseshoes, which can protect the horses and run faster! "

"It's all because His Royal Highness is eccentric, and the Mo Dao Army is equipped with the best and latest weapons. Our left and right military guards are just like stepmothers. There is no way to fight this battle!"

"What are you talking about? Slow down. What's the situation?" Li Shimin originally wanted to make use of the topic, but when Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde said it, he was suddenly led astray.

"What horseshoes, aren't war horses all the same? How can they run faster than you?"

"Your Majesty, this is it!" Yuchi Jingde hurriedly took out the drawing of the horseshoe he had prepared a long time ago, and pointed to the horseshoe on it to complain to Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, that's it. I didn't want to say it at this time. Since you asked me at this time, I have to say it."

"Because of this thing, the war horses of the Modao Army have it, and they wear shoes like us, and the running speed is not only twice as fast, but it doesn't hurt the horse's hooves. How can we chase it?"

War horses in the Tang Dynasty generally did not have horseshoes, so war horses were actually worn out on the battlefield, most of which came from the horseshoes.

But hearing what Yuchi Jingde said, Li Shimin's eyes suddenly lit up, "The crown prince is only equipped with the Modao Army for such a good thing? It really shouldn't be, such a good thing should be used by the entire army! "

"Your Majesty, you don't know something!" Cheng Yaojin waved his hand and said, "This thing is made by Baisteel. Now only the prince has it, and it takes a lot of work, so the prince can make it."

"We were chattering in front of the prince before, so the prince agreed. This time, we came back not only to report the news, but also to equip the cavalry of the left and right guards with horseshoes. We really are not timid!"

Going around, it turned out to be the case, Li Shimin nodded, "So it is, then I ask you, now a great contribution is placed in front of the two of you, are you willing to take it?"

"If you have credit, don't..." Cheng Yaojingang wanted to say something, but suddenly thought in his heart, and swallowed the rest of the words, including Yuchi Jingde.

They are all old people who have been with Li Shimin for a long time. They know Li Shimin's character very well, and they always feel that what Li Shimin told them before them is probably not a good thing.

Seeing this, Li Shimin immediately exploded in anger, "Don't worry, the guarantee is a good thing, and it's a great thing, I'll give you a credit for it..."
