Li Er's spirit was shocked: "How to operate?" How big the grassland is, no matter how many people we have in the Tang Dynasty, we are helpless, and the grassland people have been living and growing endlessly from ancient times to the present, which is really a headache. ”

Chen Chuxin said endlessly, after the Tang Dynasty, what Khitan, Jurchen, Mongolian, and Tatar really emerged one after another, and the scourge of the Central Plains nation was almost cut off.

If there are also Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties in the future, then I, Chen Chu, will do my little bit to see if I can help Datang completely solve this scourge.

Thinking of this, Chen Chu asked everyone: "You know that there is a grassland north of the Tang Dynasty, but do you know how wide the north is?" ”

The territory of the Han Dynasty was as vast as Central Asia in later generations, but it was only an east-west conquest, and the north-south conquest was much more difficult.

Because of the winter, going north cannot guarantee that it will always be in the summer climate, and the more you go, the colder it gets, the more you freeze it, the more uninhabited, and if you don't have a definite goal, even the bravest army will probably have to go back halfway.

"When the Han Dynasty destroyed the Xiongnu and chased the remnants of the Xiongnu, it reached the depths of Mobei several times, but it is unknown further north, it must be a place with an extremely harsh climate, right?"

Li Er said, Chen Chu nodded: "From the beginning of leaving the Great Wall, all the way to the depths of Mobei, this distance is very long, but if you want to go all the way north to the northernmost ocean, this distance is nothing!" ”

Chen Chu's words deeply shocked everyone, the unknown is terrifying, especially the north for the Central Plains represents the cold, harsh and barbaric, the generals of the Han Dynasty in the depths of the desert north have traveled thousands of miles, it is unimaginable, if these distances are nothing, then how far to reach the sea in the north?

Chen Chu gave them popular science: "The northernmost ocean is called the Arctic Ocean, and the nearby continent is frozen all year round, growing thousands of miles of cold trees, even when the weather is the warmest every year, there is also a need to wear thick clothes, and in the coldest time of winter, if people wear few clothes, they can be frozen to death with only a few breaths." ”

Li Er really couldn't accept it: "How is this possible?" Isn't the territory of my Datang vast enough? Nearly 10,000 miles from north to south and east to west, if there is still so much land in the north, is it always barren? ”

"Who lives in such harsh climatic conditions? Aren't you afraid of freezing to death? ”

Chen Chu complained, ignoring the system's prompt tone: "You don't have to think so much, what's the use of the land in the north, no matter how big it is, it can't be used for the time being, and it can't be managed, I just said this to tell you something." ”

"That is to rule the entire grassland, no matter how difficult it is, it must be completely dominated, because further north of Mobei, it is not suitable for survival, and there can be no threat from further north."

"In this way, the entire eastern land belongs to our Datang completely, and we only need to meet the threat from the west."

"As for the population, when my Xiao Chen's potatoes and corn are planted, the population of Datang will increase significantly, and I am afraid that we Han people will not be able to fill the grassland?"

Li Er, who Chen Chu said, suddenly realized, and several generals who also said it were excited.

"That's right! Than the population, our Chinese nation has never been afraid of anyone! What if the population explodes and fills the entire grassland? ”

Chen Chu laughed: "Don't the grassland people like to dance? When the time comes, we will ask them to dance to us every day, confiscate their weapons, control their population, and let them go from loving singing and dancing to only singing and dancing! ”

"This kid is really arrogant!" Li Er was shocked in his heart, but he was full of pride by Chen Chu's words.

Seeing that everyone was excited, Chen Chu reached out and lifted a draft of beer from his feet.

That's right, it's beer, this is the good thing that Chen Chu wanted to show Lao Li and them before!

After waiting for a long time, the first drink finally came late, which made Chen Chu breathe a sigh of relief, and he did one thing in one go that day, and with the hot pot and stir-fried vegetables, the cool people went to heaven.

"Glass?"

Before I saw what it was, the jingling bottles alone had already shocked a group of people.

"It's not glass, it's called glass, it's not important, after drinking this wine, the bottle can be used to hold things, especially it's very convenient to hold liquid."

Chen Chu poked the wine bottle down, the bottle cap flew up, Li Xiaogong grabbed it in the air, and Chen Chu also gave a thumbs up.

"This thing is fastened so tightly, isn't the contents of it as well preserved."

There was another round of talking, and then they smelled the smell of wine.

Chen Chu gathered everyone's bowls, poured a little by one, and finished pouring a bottle of beer.

I saw that everyone's bowls were bubbling with foam, and the smell of wine disappeared little by little, and a refreshing aroma of wine came out of the nose.

This taste is different from all the drinks in Datang, none of them are similar to its taste, it seems to have an infinite magic, and an unprecedented pungent taste attracts everyone.

Although the taste is not yet known, some people's throats are already subconsciously rolling.

Only Cheng Zhijie, that is, Cheng Biting Jin, said weakly: "This thing, why does it look like horse urine in the West Market......"

Fuck, you can die if you don't speak, Chen Chu complained with a black line on his face, this thing is indeed easy to be called horse urine, and it's not good to say it.

The others also looked at him with murderous eyes, because they didn't know what it tasted like, and it was the first time it appeared, what did this Chen Chu's so-called beer really do...... It's kind of like that.

When Lao Cheng said this, they couldn't look at it directly.

"Beer with hot pot, the gods don't change!" Chen Chu ignored the others, dried the beer in the bowl in one gulp, and sighed.

Due to the reason of fermentation and sealing, beer naturally has some frozen properties, and the beer at room temperature has the effect of reducing heat in the stomach.

Several people raised their dishes and chopsticks one after another, carefully smacking their lips to taste.

Slightly bitter, cold, and a little astringent, but soon there was a burst of sweetness, which left a mouthful of fragrance, but it was completely impossible to determine the ingredients.

"It's not spicy at all, it's not choking, the taste is smooth, the taste of sake lees is bitter first and then sweet, I think it's particularly delicious, what about you?"

The old man Yu Shinan groaned for a moment, expressed his opinion, and then looked at the others.

Everyone slowly reminisced, some agreed with him, and although others did not speak, they felt like they were a little addicted after drinking, and wanted to have a second bowl.

Chen Chu also opened a bottle for the ladies next to him, poured it for the eldest grandson queen and the three daughters of Jiujiang Luling, and the others did it themselves, and motioned for them to taste it too.

Women are very sensitive to taste, perhaps because they don't like pungent and choking ordinary wine, after this bitter sweet, cold and fragrant wine is under the stomach, Princess Jiujiang is still the first to get the beauty of this beer as usual.

"This drink is incredible! Mr. Chen, I think if you can come up with enough of it, it will definitely be able to sweep the entire Chang'an City, and all the drinks are not its opponents! ”

After tasting it at this moment, Princess Jiujiang knew why Chen Chu had a disdainful attitude towards Datang's wine at first......

In terms of taste, each has its own merits, but in terms of attractiveness and beauty, Li Lixuan really feels that this beer has reached the extreme of her knowledge of alcohol!

It is not strong, not rushed, which means that it is suitable for all ages, cold, it can cool off, bitter and sweet, it has a richer taste level, people remember joy when they are sad, sweet when they are bitter, with the depth of artistic conception, which is not comparable to the vast majority of wines!

And because the Tang people have a high sensitivity to alcohol, ordinary beer is placed here, which is equivalent to high-concentration alcohol, Chen Chu can drink one without pouring, and the Tang people are afraid that many four or five bottles will not be able to hold it.

Therefore, in Li Lixuan's feelings, the degree of this beer is not low, how can a person who is addicted to alcohol resist it?
