Li Shimin

On the side, Li Xuan asked directly: "Your Majesty shouldn't be preparing for the Great Tang Master's expedition, why did you suddenly come to Lijiazhuang?"

"There is a big happy event to find Xuan Ba!"

Li Shimin said strangely on his face.

"Big happy event?" Li Xuan was startled, and then his face was full of curiosity.

However, Li Shimin didn't mean to explain, but turned his head and continued to look at Tanaka.

"Xuan Ba, these sweet potatoes and potatoes are even bigger this year than last time, can the production of sweet potatoes reach fifteen shi?"

"It might work!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly, without any excitement of a good harvest, with a flat face.

"It can really reach fifteen stones?"

Li Shimin's face was full of surprise, and then his face sank, "The production of sweet potatoes in my village was lower than the first time, why is the sweet potato in your village higher than every time? Could it be, my village Someone inside is dereliction of duty?"

"Your Majesty, don't get me wrong. Before planting these sweet potatoes and potatoes in my farm, the farmer specially sprinkled fertilizer on this field, so that they can grow so huge!"

Li Xuan explained calmly.

"fertilizer?"

Li Shimin was stunned.

"Your Majesty, it is the ashes of plants and trees. The farmers in the village burn firewood, or the ashes left by plants and trees, and fill them in the fields to make fertilizer.

In addition, it is still rotten fruits, vegetable leaves, bones of chickens, ducks and fish pigs, etc., and the fertilizer made by retting the soil! "

Li Xuan explained slowly.

"So it's these things!" Li Shimin nodded thoughtfully.

Although he was born into a powerful family, he understood and had seen what Li Xuan said.

"It's just that these things really have such a big effect?"

"Your Majesty, haven't you seen it already?"

Li Xuan chuckled, "Crops such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, and even wheat and rice, like humans and animals, need to eat some food to grow up, and the food of these crops is some nutrients in the soil. , the more fertile the soil and the more nutrients, the better the crops will grow.

And if you continue to plant crops like this without adding fertilizer to the soil, after a few years, the less fertility in the soil, these good fields will slowly degenerate into poor fields, and the crops they grow will also be less than a year old. Not as good as a year! "

"It's like His Majesty's Zhuangzi. The fertility in the soil is limited. If you want the crops in the fields to grow better, you must sprinkle fertilizer on these fields, so that they can grow better!"

"Xuanba's farming skills are really getting better and better. I have an idea that I want to send Si Nong Siqing to Lijiazhuang to learn from you all the time!"

Li Shimin said with emotion.

"do not!"

Li Xuan shook his head repeatedly, his face full of resistance.

"Your Majesty, many farmers and village households know these things, but they don't have such good conditions as me. Moreover, if Your Majesty really wants to let Secretary Si Nong come to Li's Village to learn these things, you can let Secretary Si Nong come to Lijiazhuang to learn these things. In a few months, just come to Lijiazhuang's fields and wander around.

I believe that for Si Nong Siqing and the farmers in the village, they will still be willing to teach! "

"..."

Li Shimin's expression froze, asking these householders to teach his Minister of Agriculture to farm, not to mention Minister of Agriculture, even he thought it impossible!

It's just that Li Shimin's heart is itching to see such novel and effective farming strategies in Lijiazhuang from time to time!

Continue to watch for a while, wait until Li Shimin has had enough eye addiction.

Li Xuancai took Li Shimin to the reception room of the other courtyard.

After resting for a while, after drinking half a cup of tea, Li Shimin said slowly.

"Xuan Ba, you know that at this afternoon, Turkic Hoxen Lu Dongzan sued you!"

"Lu Dongzan?"

Hearing this, Li Xuan couldn't help but look surprised.

"Your Majesty, what did this hozen tell me?"

"You are signing the letter of vassal's credence with the Tubo envoy, and you have evil intentions. The assassination I suffered when I came to your Lijiazhuang last time was also plotted behind your back!..."

Li Shimin told Li Xuan one by one what Lu Dongzan said, without any intention of hiding anything.

"This……"

After being stunned for a while, Li Xuan was furious.

"This hozen's mind is really vicious!"

"Xuanba don't get angry, these hozens are not worth Xuanba's anger!"

Li Shimin quickly comforted him with a smile on his face, but no matter how Li Xuan looked at it, he could see a gloating smile on Li Shimin's face!

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will not act impulsively!"

Li Xuan laughed lightly, and said indifferently: "Besides, this Tubo hozen's actions just allow me to take action against them and destroy their country with peace of mind!"

……

Chapter 735 Lu Dongzan, this king wants to borrow the Tubo army

"The meaning of Xuanba?"

Li Shimin was a little puzzled.

"Your Majesty, I was still worrying about how to coax the army of these Tubo hozen into flying ash with peace of mind! I didn't expect this Tubo hozen to cooperate so well!"

Li Xuan smiled lightly.

"Xuanba wants to..."

At this moment, Li Shimin also seemed to understand something, his eyes lit up.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Li Xuan smiled lightly, "Aren't these hozen just trying to use His Majesty to force me to rebel, or to turn against His Majesty? Then, I will follow the wish of these hozen!"

"Your Majesty, even if I am not the general manager of the Tuyuhun army this time, I should be the general manager of the road!"

"Xuanba wants to ask me for military power, and he doesn't hesitate to quarrel with me?"

Li Shimin smiled lightly.

"can!"

Li Xuan nodded slowly.

"If this is the case, then I will become suspicious of Xuan Ba, and I will definitely not let Xuan Ba ​​be the chief executive!"

Li Shimin frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he continued.

"But, who is suitable for the chief executive?"

"Li Jing's status is not respected by me, and he can't be the chief executive!"

"That's exactly the reason, but it's all in Datang, unless I..."

As he said that, a gleam of light suddenly appeared in Li Shimin's eyes!

"Your Majesty, no!"

Li Xuan quickly said, "Now the Great Tang is suppressed by His Majesty alone. If His Majesty leaves Chang'an for too long, or if something happens to His Majesty, the Great Tang will inevitably be full of wars!"

"The meaning of Xuanba?" Li Shimin asked.

"Besides Your Majesty, there is one more person!"

Li Xuan smiled lightly.

"who?"

Li Shimin asked curiously.

"Prince!" Li Xuan replied.

"clever?"

Li Shimin was startled.

"Exactly!"

Li Xuan nodded and said, "As the crown prince, although Gao Ming's seniority is not as high as mine, his status is more respected than mine. Coincidentally, Gao Ming has never had any military exploits, nor has he ever really set out on an expedition. This time, perhaps it is the good time!"

"Also, last time Gao Ming didn't go with me to Goguryeo, he regretted it very much and was eager to lead the army to fight!"

"Your Majesty, my Great Tang established the country with martial arts. As the prince of the Great Tang, why do I have no military skills and no military exploits? Otherwise, how can I coerce the Great Tang and command the great Tang army in the future?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin nodded subconsciously.

As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he also wants the prince Li Chengqian to be both civil and military, proficient in military affairs, and establish prestige in the army!

Li Xuan continued: "Plus, Your Majesty is now at the peak of his strength. If Gao Ming is crippled by training, His Majesty can train another prince from among the princes!"

"..."

Li Shimin couldn't help being speechless.

"Don't be upset, Your Majesty!"

Li Xuan laughed awkwardly, and then said: "These are just my random guesses. After all, accidents will happen in everything. If His Majesty is not sure about Gao Ming this time, you can make Li Jing the deputy director of Gao Ming, or Li Ji and Gao Ming. Lee Hyo-gong can do it!

These generals are all people with rich experience in the Tang Dynasty battlefield. Whether it is arranging troops, attacking cities, or escaping, they all have a way, and they can completely protect Gao Ming.

Then you can teach Gao Ming one by one according to the actual situation on the battlefield! "

After listening, Li Shimin nodded slightly.

"So, Li Jing and Li Xiaogong are the deputy managers, and Gao Ming is the chief manager!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Li Xuan hurriedly cupped his hands and saluted.

"Tomorrow, I will inform Yu Gaoming, Li Jing, Li Xiaogong and others about this matter!"

Li Shimin said.

"Ok!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly, "In the past few days, Your Majesty and I have been suspicious of each other and vying for power. Even after the expedition, the relationship between me and Your Majesty has not been eased!"

"It should be so..."

Afterwards, Li Shimin discussed some details with Li Xuan again, and when Li Shimin left Lijiazhuang, his whole face was full of anger.

As for Li Wei and the guards, they had already drawn out half of their steel knives.

Along the way, they were on guard all the way. No matter who they looked at, they all looked very much like assassins. The whole Chang'an City began to fall into a tense atmosphere.

then.

The next day, Li Shimin explained the matter to Li Jing, Li Xiaogong and Li Chengqian.

For these, no matter He Li Jing, Li Xiaogong, or Li Chengqian, everyone is fully willing.

Then, in the afternoon of that day, it was reported that His Majesty Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty was suspicious of King Jin!

What's more, those people still preached clearly, how did His Majesty suspect King Jin, and how did King Jin quarrel with His Majesty?It seems that they have seen all these with their own eyes?

Anyway, as soon as the news came out, half of the rich and powerful families in the entire Chang'an City were full of thoughts!

As for the remaining half of the nobles of the family, they were all full of doubts.

This matter is very strange!

However, Lu Dongzan, who didn't notice anything wrong, was extremely excited!

When Lu Dongzan heard the news just now, he was so excited that he directly drank a can of fine wine, making him dizzy.

In the end, Lu Dongzan still suppressed the excitement in his heart, and stayed obediently in the Honglu guest house, waiting for news from Li Xuan.

Day three.

Lu Dongzan got up early in the morning, as usual, left the Honglu guest house anxiously, and came to a tea shop in the West City.

I found a table by the window on the second floor, ordered a pot of Longjing tea, and two plates of dim sum, as if enjoying the delicacies of the Tang Dynasty, slowly savoring them.
