I didn’t travel through time, but I was the master of ancient beauties

Chen Chu and Li Shimin had a long chat. The two of them had a very interesting chat. Li Shimin asked Chen Chu many questions. Chen Chu also told Li Shimin how to support the army at the lowest cost.

Providing an army is a huge expense for any dynasty. It's not that they don't want to build millions of soldiers, but they really can't afford it. The little money in the treasury can't support such a huge expenditure.

Chen Chu's idea for Li Shimin was to form an army that was half military and half peasant. They would farm in the morning and train in the afternoon. Then they would send the army to the northwest border to open up wasteland and farm land. There was no man's land for thousands of miles there.

If you don’t cultivate the land, it will be useless. So much land is idle and so many strong laborers have become soldiers. Without cultivated land, there is no food. How can we talk about building a strong army and a strong country?

Chen Chu’s suggestion is to use agriculture to drive economic development. You can use food to do business with enemy countries, make the enemy countries rely on food imports, and use food to control the country.

Cutting off the enemy's food and grass if they disobey was a long-term plan. Li Shimin didn't understand it at first. Using food to support the enemy's country, isn't that subsidizing the enemy?

But Li Shimin carefully tasted the truth, his eyes lit up, he patted his thigh,

It's a good strategy, and it's really a divine strategy. If you catch him in the food bag and become dependent on imported food, he will have to surrender and blindly close the country. He will be hungry to see if your family has food.

He has to come and rob him. This is the essence of war. If you want to quell the war, you have to seize his life. Instead of letting them come and rob him,

It's better to sell it to them in exchange for the supplies we need. Thank you Mr. Chen for giving me the magical strategy. With the magical seed, I can let the army open up wasteland and cultivate the land. Then there will be no food shortage in the Tang Dynasty.

With food, people can be encouraged to have more children and expand the population. In the next 20 years, millions of soldiers will sweep across the northwest and expand the territory of the Tang Dynasty, hahahaha!

Li Shimin looked up to the sky and screamed, expressing his long-cherished wish. The headache that had troubled him for many years finally saw hope. The northwest was not stable.

It must be a serious problem. Li Shimin has long wanted to conquer the West, but he has no good strategy. The first is the army, the second is food, and the third is military expenditure.

These three mountains weighed heavily on Li Shimin's heart. He was so worried that he had a headache. He was full of enthusiasm, but the conditions did not allow him to complete the grand plan in his heart.

Without money and food, he could not support a huge army. Now that he had a series of plans, Li Shimin returned home like an arrow. He bid farewell to Chen Chu and ordered Qianniu Guard to escort the god species back to the palace.

Li Shimin holds the divine seed given to him by Mr. Chen in his arms. This is the hope of the future of the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, the matter of the divine seed must be kept secret. It is still in the exploratory and experimental stage.

Before there are enough divine seeds for large-scale planting, the fewer people who know about it, the better, to prevent hostile forces from destroying it. After Li Shimin returned,

The first thing he did was to open a piece of land in the back garden and guard it heavily. He also built a thatched cottage next to the land. Li Shimin went to work in the field himself.

According to Mr. Chen's planting method, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corns were planted. He wanted to plant the divine seeds with his own hands and watch them sprout and grow.

He felt that it was very meaningful to do so. Within a few years, he would be able to have a large number of divine seeds and plant them on a large area. The hope of the prosperous Tang Dynasty now lies in this small piece of cultivated land.

Li Shimin was covered in dirt and squatted on the edge of the cultivated land in a daze, grinning like a fool! From then on, the emperor stopped going to court early in the morning and turned to farming. He worked in the thatched cottage every day.

The ministers were all standing under the trees in the back garden, waiting to be summoned by Emperor Li Shimin. Li Shimin was also dressed in civilian clothes, like a peasant, with four large calligraphy characters on the wall behind him.

Farm-oriented!
