Datang: Integrate three times the combat power of Lv Bu at the beginning

In this way, Li Shimin will learn quickly, the emperor's seat will be secure, and he, the prince, will be able to do it comfortably.

Li Chengqian may be the first prince in history who is not in a hurry to become emperor.

At this time, the princes also looked at Li Shimin and Li Chengqian expectantly.

They also like outings.

And the prince can always be ingenious, this outing will definitely be very interesting.

Li Shimin glanced around at the dukes, each of them straightened up, showing their most charismatic side in front of him.

This scene is like choosing a concubine.

When Li Shimin glanced at Cheng Yaojin, Cheng Yaojin was staring at him with a pair of pitiful big eyes.

It seems to say again, choose me, choose me.

Li Shimin looked at him and smiled slightly.

Cheng Yaojin looked at the smiling Li Shimin, showing the joy of victory.

Li Shimin then turned his gaze to Yu Chigong, and said indifferently: "Jingde, you can go out with me this time."

Cheng Yaojin was stunned when he heard the words: "..."

Didn't you forgive me already?Why are you still wearing the little shoes?

I was not allowed to go on an outing.

Even if you don't take me with you, you can't take Yuchigong's piece of black charcoal with you!

Yu Chigong hesitated for a moment, then stood up and said excitedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, your safety is on the shoulders of the general."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to Cheng Yaojin, with a provocative look on his face, as if to say... Xiao Mian, it's over, Your Majesty won't play with you anymore.

Cheng Yaojin glared at him fiercely, then turned his face to Li Shimin, "Your Majesty... Heitantou's martial arts are not as good as mine. You take him there by yourself. I really don't feel relieved."

Hearing this, Yu Chigong was immediately displeased, "Hey... you fat man Cheng, are you asking for a fight? My martial arts are not as good as yours, who said that?"

"You forgot that last time in front of Suzaku Gate, I hit you with a black tiger and beat you to your knees begging for mercy. Also last time in the school yard, did your broken ax fly away with my whip? How dare you say that?" My martial arts are not as good as yours."

"If you don't accept it, the two of us will go out to compete and learn from each other now, so that His Majesty can be a witness to see who has the highest martial arts."

On the issue of competing with Cheng Yaojin for superiority, Yu Chigong will not back down one iota.

Hearing this, Cheng Yaojin said angrily: "You are talking nonsense, how could I lose to you!"

"Hit it, hit it, I'm still afraid of your black charcoal!"

With that said, Cheng Yaojin rolled up his sleeves.

There was a disagreement, and the two started fighting each other.

Everyone shook their heads helplessly, they couldn't say three and a half sentences and they definitely came out, even Li Shimin got used to it.

Li Shimin looked at the two of them indifferently, without any intention of dissuading them.

After drinking, they like the lively atmosphere.

At this moment, Li Chengqian raised his hand to stop him and said, "Don't quarrel with the two princes over such a trivial matter. This outing is near Chang'an City. If you want to, please go together."

Bringing cheap daddy alone is also taking care of one person, and taking this group of people is also taking care of him. Li Chengqian thought to himself, these princes are loyal to Datang and have outstanding abilities, so they are worth cultivating, so they might as well forget it together.

After the words fell, everyone's eyes lit up, and they looked at Li Shimin expectantly.

Paused...

"Hmm." Li Shimin relaxed his frown slightly and said, "Since the prince is leading the team this time, then it's all up to the prince to arrange. I'm just a tourist."

Hearing this, everyone was delighted.

Li Chengqian found that Li Shimin was more and more able to listen to his own opinions.

I don't know if he was scared by himself, or he figured it out by himself.

Li Shimin seldom refuted his own opinions, Li Chengqian was a little disappointed, if Li Shimin didn't contradict himself, it would be difficult for him to find excuses to educate him.

The outing plan was completed, and everyone drank for a while.

Before you know it, it's already late at night.

Other shops on Chang'an Street have already closed for rest, but under the curfew-free policy specially approved by Li Shimin, Zuixianlou is still full of traffic outside the building, brightly lit, and there is an endless stream of diners who come here admiringly.

The cooks of Zuixianlou took turns in three batches to stabilize the situation.

Of course, this also brought great wealth to Li Chengqian.

With the support of Qinghuo Trading Company and Zuixianlou, Li Chengqian should not worry about money in the future.

Many plans can also be implemented slowly.

Soon...

Li Shimin and the princes of all the states left the Zuixian Tower at the back door, and went back to their respective mansions.

Liu Sheng walked up to Li Chengqian and said, "His Royal Highness, thank you for your hospitality today, I will not disturb you in the end, and I will take my daughter back first."

At this moment, Liu Sheng is still a little dazed, and tonight is like a dream.

Li Chengqian nodded, "Okay, you will go outing with His Majesty tomorrow, and I will send someone to pick you up in the morning, so you should prepare in advance."

Hearing this, Liu Sheng's eyes froze, and he was slightly taken aback, "It's...it's not appropriate to go in the future."

Liu Sheng's head was a little dazed, having dinner with Li Shimin today had already made him feel terrified.

Tomorrow I will go on an outing with Li Shimin, what is the prince singing, playing with the emperor and generals, isn't this a shame for myself?

From ancient times to the present, there is no reason for the prefect to travel with the emperor.

Li Chengqian waved his hands and said lightly: "It's okay, tomorrow you will be an important role and have important tasks?"

Liu Sheng frowned tightly, his eyes were serious: "Mission?"

Li Chengqian smiled mysteriously: "When the time comes, you will know..."

Chapter 65

The next morning.

The sky is high and the clouds are light, and the breeze is blowing, which is refreshing.

The outskirts of Chang'an City.

Li Chengqian took Li Shimin and the princes for a walk in the fields.

Su Dingfang and Liu Sheng were also accompanying him, and there were no other attendants.

At this point, the system is long overdue.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the task: opening a restaurant, reward: [-] potatoes, which have been distributed to the host space, please pay attention to check."

"Ding! System task: Take Li Shimin to visit privately on Weibo, show compassion for the people. Reward: [-] peppers, [-] pepper seeds. The host can refuse, and there is no penalty for refusing."

Hearing the sound of the system, Li Chengqian frowned. This system is really timely.

What do you want.

With chili peppers, the quality of Zuixianlou can definitely be improved to a higher level.

There is no chili in Datang, and no one has ever experienced the taste of spiciness, and some spiciness is only brought out by pepper, which is not pure.

If the chili is produced, it will definitely be a leap forward for the development of Datang's catering industry.

Li Chengqian thought, accept.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully accepting the system task, the reward will be issued after completing the task."

Traveling today, without a chariot, everything is light and simple.

Li Shimin walked in the forefront of the crowd, without the power of an emperor in the past.

Everyone could see that his sense of ease from the inside out was not faked.

Li Shimin looked at the busy old farmers in the fields, the old cows lying under the poplar trees next to the fields, and the wheat that was about to mature in the fields, with a bright smile on his face.

"Zhijie..." Li Shimin called softly.

Hearing the sound, Cheng Yaojin hurried over, "Your Majesty, what are you calling me for?"

Li Shimin said, "I'm going to ask you, do you know how many deniers this wheat yields per mu?"

Paused...

"Ah?" Cheng Yaojin scratched his head and said, "This... this... hehe, Your Majesty, I don't know!"

If you ask Cheng Yaojin how many steamed buns he can eat for a meal, he still knows, but he really doesn't know the grain output.

Li Shimin was not angry when he heard his answer. After all, he is a general, and it doesn't hurt whether he knows these things or not.

Li Shimin said softly: "Wei Zheng, come and tell everyone."

Wei Zheng hurried over: "Yes, Your Majesty."

"The most important crops in my Tang Dynasty are mainly divided into four types, namely wheat, millet, rice and sorghum. The yield per mu is about one stone to five stones."

"If the grain yield of the Tang Dynasty can reach four stones per mu, then the imperial court will be much more resilient in the face of disasters, and there will be no corpses lying in the fields and local riots due to disasters."

In Wei Zheng's words, he expressed his concern for the country and the people.

Listening to his narration, Li Chengqian thought in his mind that the Tang army's weak combat effectiveness had a direct relationship with food.

Soldiers must consume a lot of energy when the army conducts high-intensity training. However, the national food and grass cannot supplement the energy consumed by soldiers during training. Therefore, many troops do not train at all, or train during slack seasons and farm during busy seasons.

In today's era, the reason why the country emphasizes agriculture and suppresses commerce is in the final analysis that it is difficult to solve the problem of food and clothing, so the imperial court certainly does not want farmers to abandon their fields to do other things.

After all, there is not enough food to eat, so it is definitely meaningless to talk about other things.

But Li Chengqian is different now that he has potatoes. The yield of potatoes is as high as [-] to [-] shi per mu, and they are easy to feed, and the requirements for the quality of the land are also very low.

If the technology of growing potatoes is extended to the entire Tang Dynasty, then famine will no longer appear in the Tang Dynasty, and the country will be prosperous and strong just around the corner.

Hearing this, Li Shimin shook his head helplessly: "Four stones per mu is easy to say, but extremely difficult to do."

"Auxiliary machine, how is Datang's harvest this year!"

Hearing the words, Changsun Wuji hurried to Li Shimin's side, and said sadly: "Your Majesty, the grain growth on many state roads this year is not satisfactory. What's more, there are frequent droughts. Even though the imperial court has allocated relief grain in advance, it is still a drop in the bucket. , This year, there will still not be too much food in the treasury."

Hearing this, Li Shimin suddenly stopped and stopped.

The old farmer in the field happened to come out of the field.

Li Shimin looked at the old farmer near the field and asked, "Old man, how is the food this year?"

After hearing Li Shimin's words, the old farmer stopped, shook his head helplessly, and laughed at himself: "What does it have to do with us untouchables? No matter how good the grain grows, it belongs to the landlord's family. Fight food."

"Except for taxes and corvees, we have enough food to eat, so we will burn incense."

After the old man finished speaking, a look of helplessness appeared on his face, and he went to pick up the old scalper under the tree, and disappeared tremblingly on the horizon.

After hearing the old man's words, Li Shimin's body trembled slightly. This is the current situation of Datang.

The powerful landlords occupied a lot of land in the Tang Dynasty, earning a lot of money every year, but farmers had to pay taxes. This is not the status quo of Chang'an City, but the status quo of the entire Tang Dynasty.

The princes of the state were also filled with emotion when they heard the words. The powerful landlords took advantage of the land they worked so hard to conquer.

Sitting on the edge of the field, Li Shimin looked at the land in the field, and at the direction where the old farmer disappeared, as if he was making a choice in his heart.

"My dear friends, do you have a good way to deal with this matter?"

Hearing this, everyone bowed their heads. The powerful landlords of the Tang Dynasty were more or less connected with the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs.

Since Li Chengqian destroyed the Lu family and took over the Zheng family, they became more united than ever, causing a lot of trouble to the court.

So in the face of this matter, Li Shimin also had to think long-term.

Li Chengqian said: "The aristocratic family is powerful, and the landlord is difficult to deal with. In the final analysis, they have seized the handle of the father."

Hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to Li Chengqian, their faces full of doubts.

Li Shimin frowned and asked, "Chengqian, what do you mean?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin felt displeased. He was also the emperor of the Tang Empire after all, the lord of all the people in the world, so how could he have something in their hands.

"Aristocratic families, tyrants, and landlords are not scary, what is scary is the influence they have created in front of the emperor and the princes."

"Even yourselves acquiesce, you can only endure this situation in silence, and you can't act rashly. Isn't this holding the handle in the hands of others?"
