Datang: Touching the Corpse Li Yuanba at the Beginning

"Gentlemen, now that the Great Tang has just ceased military operations and natural disasters are coming again, I still need to rely on you all. When this catastrophe is over, you will be rewarded for your meritorious deeds, and you will be punished severely for your demerits!"

"If you have nothing to do, go down first!"

"Yes!"

Li Wenhao got up and went to the back hall, accompanied by Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Hou Junji, Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong and others.

"Everyone, now that our Great Tang is in such a catastrophe, I always feel that the Turkic and surrounding enemies will not let this opportunity go, and I'm afraid I will trouble you again."

"His Royal Highness, please order."

"it is good!"

"Hou Junji, you go to Suizhou with your army. Where is it next to Qibi Heli's army? I have never been able to see through this guy. I'm afraid he is the really ambitious person."

"Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong, the two of you will set off today to go to the Longshan defense line. I have Li Ji and Li Jing on the front line of defense, but there is also a gap in Baimi. You are the second barrier of Chang'an City. Keep Longshan and the Great Wall well."

"Cheng Yaojin, you send troops to Gaoling as reinforcements, if there is a problem there, where can you support it?"

"Like Li Daliang, Zhang Liang, Chai Shao and others have received my order. This time we must guard Guanzhong well. It's okay if the enemy doesn't come. If they come, let him be my land in Guanzhong just like the locusts in the sky. nourishment."

"Masters Fang and Du, as well as my uncle, I need to rely on a few of you for the mediation and planning. After all, I am young, so please take care of me."

As Li Wenhao said, he bowed to the others and made a big salute.

Not to mention anything else, Fang Mou Du Juan and the eldest Sun Wuji, an old Yin B, are the top group at any time in history, and Li Wenhao can rest assured that they are by his side to check for gaps and make up for gaps.

"Cough cough!"

"Auxiliary machine, Keming, Xuanling, you three don't have to be polite, Dalang still needs to be polished, you just take this opportunity to teach him well."

"Outsiders in the province say that two generations of my lineage are emperors on horseback."

"His Majesty!"

Wearing a heavy cloak, Li Shimin walked in with the support of Empress Changsun. Although his health has improved, he is still far from his peak state and needs to rest.

"I heard that you are just Tang Jian's official? Help someone from the East Palace?"

"Yes, father, I have no choice but to let Jia Xu succeed Tang Jian. After all, Tang Jian has too many worries, and Jia Xu is an unscrupulous person who uses heavy codes in troubled times."

"Well, Tang Jian has indeed been a little slack these years, it's good to beat it a bit"

Li Shimin nodded, "Now that you have sent Hou Junji, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, and Yu Chigong out, Chang'an is empty, so it may be easy for people to take advantage of it!"

"Also, you only mentioned the service of the first generation of Guanzhong Great Wall, how about your Hebei Road, Yanliao and other places?"

After all, it is the emperor on horseback. He can see clearly when Li Wenhao marks it on the map. Li Wenhao has deployed two lines of defense north of Guanzhong and relying on the Great Wall with heavy troops, but there is no indication on the Hebei side, and this is Chang'an.

……

"Father, there is no need to worry. Chang'an has the [-] owl and ghost troops I brought back, not to mention the [-] city guards and the Imperial Forest Army. As for Hebei, there is no need to worry."

"I have already asked Xue Li to lead the tigers and leopards under his command to march westward into Taiyuan. If the enemy really enters Guanzhong, [-] cavalry can go to the battlefield in a day, and there is no need to worry about Yanliao."

"I have already ordered Yue Fei's Beiwei Army to guard the Yanliao defense line, not to retreat to guard the Huaibi Pass, the White Horse Camp and Li Cunxiao's Flying Tiger Army to stay in Hebei and hand over to Fan Xing. With Fan Xing here, Yanliao is fine. , Hebei is fine."

"I really hope that the Turks will send troops to Hebei now, and we will fight a decisive battle."

"There were few soldiers in the past, but now, I have 12 cavalry and [-] infantry in Hebei, which is enough to completely destroy the grassland."

"No, this year's locust plague, my Tang Dynasty wants to dominate the grassland, I'm afraid I have to wait again."

Li Shimin shook his head, and Li Wenhao also knew that what he said was unrealistic at all. The prairie people would rather fight Guanzhong than Hebei. After all, they all knew that several of Li Wenhao's elite troops were in Hebei.

"Hey! The number of locusts is increasing day by day, but these people are suffering."

"Don't worry, father, all suffering is paving the way for a better tomorrow"

Chapter 186 'Officials force the people to rebel'

After sending Li Shimin back to rest, Li Wenhao showed up on the streets of Chang'an City with the group of dukes.

At this time, more than one restaurant has put a new dish on the shelves, euphemistically called Migratory Locust Tengda, and they have begun to buy locusts aggressively.

"You old man, you can't wait to bully me, and you actually feed us worms?"

In Wangxian Building, more than one customer pointed at the shopkeeper and yelled at him, and the shopkeeper also felt wronged, so he could only let the diners yell at him.

"how?"

"This worm is not delicious, or did you charge you more money?"

"I think you didn't move a bite, are you here to find fault?"

When Li Wenhao's voice came, the hall immediately became completely silent.

"Go ahead, serve me two plates with one method, and boil two jugs of wine."

Li Wenhao took someone to find a clean table and sat down, "Come and taste it, if it's not delicious, I will pay you twice."

As he spoke, Li Wenhao took the lead and threw a locust into his mouth.

hiss!

Seeing how Li Wenhao was enjoying himself, a group of people knew that this bite was going to be eaten no matter what. They picked up the chopsticks and threw the locusts into their mouths with their eyes closed as if they were being tortured.

After chewing a few times indiscriminately, he quickly swallowed it.

But after just chewing a few times indiscriminately, these diners seemed to have discovered a new world.

"Xiaoer, give me two more dishes!"

The voices of adding food came and went, Li Wenhao smiled with satisfaction.

He doesn't need to take care of the next thing. With these people spreading it, these people will naturally fall in love with this new thing.

Time flies and half a month later, Li Shimin's body has almost recovered, but in order to see Li Wenhao's ability, Li Shimin did not return to court, and Li Wenhao continued to handle state affairs.

With the promulgation of Li Wenhao's locust control decrees, the disasters caused by locusts are not as great as in history. Half of the arable land in the whole Guanzhong has been saved. There is a fairly good harvest.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, good news!"

"Last night, the counties in Guanzhong started fires to burn insects, but found that there were very few insects to burn. We have survived this plague of locusts."

Changsun Wuji shouted happily while holding the memorial.

Datang's fight against the locust plague this time can be regarded as the first time in history that our country successfully fought against natural disasters with manpower, creating history, and it is false to be unhappy.

"Don't take it lightly, tell the Ministry of Industry, let them pass on the production method and usage method of Quyuanli to the prefectures and counties, and let the prefectures and counties teach the common people."

"Tell them that every year before spring plowing, turn over the land, at least one foot deep. This will not only help the grain grow, but also kill the locust eggs, so that there will be no more locust plagues in the future."

"Yes! Your Highness!"

Changsun Wuji now has a kind of enigmatic conviction for Li Wenhao. Although he doesn't know what Quyuanli he is talking about, he still agrees without hesitation.

"By the way, Your Highness, can those soldiers and horses at the border pass return the court? After all, at the border pass, logistics is a big deal. If there are tens of thousands of people, there will be a lot of logistics consumption."

"Wait a minute, I always feel that those Fanbang are not so kind."

Li Wenhao shook his head.

Although Changsun Wuji wanted to refute, but thinking about the history of Li Wenhao's words must be right and his mouth was open, he still didn't speak.

"How is the grain reserve in Guanzhong now?"

Li Wenhao asked the question he was most concerned about.

Changsun Wuji's face darkened, and he shook his head solemnly, "The grain in the south of the Yangtze River has been delayed with various excuses, and the grain merchants in Guanzhong and even the surrounding areas are hoarding grain with a tacit understanding."

"Jiangnan..."

"Do you know why?"

"I heard that it was because the prince seized the merchant ships of the Xiao family, which made everyone in the south of the Yangtze River afraid to go north."

"Hmph! Xiao Shi, do you really think I dare not let them disappear? Could it be that they still want to produce another Xiao Xian?"

Li Wenhao patted the table heavily, "Where's Jia Xu, didn't I ask him to deal with those merchants hoarding grain? Why don't you see him making any moves?"

"Your Highness, Jia Xu has a lot of people recently. The threshold of his house is almost broken by these grain merchants. I am afraid that his house can no longer store the treasures sent by these grain merchants."

Changsun Wuji said in a low voice, he never thought that Jia Xu, whom Li Wenhao trusted so much, would be such a person after beating him to death. Isn't he afraid that things will be revealed and Li Wenhao will liquidate him?

"Don't worry about Jia Xu, he's not an idiot, and his house is in my hands. He must have a deep meaning in doing this. Let's wait and see."

"In this way, let my Uncle Wang of Hejian stop collecting grain from Jiangnan, and fully transport grain from our Hebei Road to support Guanzhong."

Li Wenhao's eyes have been narrowed into a slit, just like Guan Yunchang, the martial saint who is about to fight, squinting to kill.

In his heart, the Xiao family has already been condemned to death. It is not just the Xiao family that destroys the whole family, but the situation in the south of the Yangtze River should also change now.

The Land of Fish and Rice is also the birthplace of powerful people.

If Li Shentong hadn't been allowed to firmly control Bashu, the land of abundance, Li Tang would really bow his head to the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River now.

"Your Highness, what are you going to do?"

Changsun Wuji asked carefully.

"kill!"

"It's said that the officials are forcing the people to rebel. I'll force them Jiangnan family to unite and force them to rebel. When the time comes, I will dispatch a surprise army to directly kill their leaders and reshuffle Jiangnan."

hiss!

hiss!

There were two breath-taking voices, one was from Changsun Wuji, and the other was from the back hall, it was Li Shimin who came to ask about politics.

"Do you know that the south of the Yangtze River is going to be in chaos, and there will be no peace in the north, and we will have no capital to fight against the Turks?"

Li Shimin couldn't help but walked out and said.

"I know, that's why I didn't remove Li Ji and Li Jing's marching chiefs, and I didn't let Qin Qiong and the others return to Chang'an."

"If I want to go to the south of the Yangtze River, I will definitely let Yue Fei send troops from Yan and Liao to attack Khitan, and Xue Li go out of the grassland, and then I will lead the owl ghosts, and the flying tiger army will go straight down to the south of the Yangtze River. Within half a month, the south of the Yangtze River will be pacified, and if the war in the north can be fought, it will be wiped out in one battle. Turks, if you can't fight, just go back to Hebei Road."

"Father, the initiative of the war is now in our hands."

"At that time, Li Xiaogong, Li Shentong, and Li Daozong's three uncles will guard Jiangnan. I will have no worries in the rear of the Tang Dynasty. With Jiangnan as a big granary, where can I fight or go?"

"Okay! His Royal Highness is good at planning, good at preemptive strikes, I admire you!"

While talking, Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling walked over from outside.
