Chapter 14 Li Chengqian is a good boy
Li Chengqian's eyes were red, as the crown prince of a country where the people would never have enough to eat, he couldn't see others wasting food, let alone this kind of bad behavior of letting food rot in the ground.
In his opinion, these people should be killed!
Li Chuan coughed lightly twice, somewhat weak-hearted, whether the grain was rotten in the ground, he actually didn't know, he only remembered that it seemed that there was this plot when he read a novel, but he didn't remember which dynasty that the novel was written in.
It's always right to use it anyway.
"The weather there is hot, and you can grow grain three times a year, and if we send people to plant it well for two years, it should be able to alleviate the problem of food shortage in Guanzhong."
Li Chengqian's face was swollen red with excitement, he grabbed Li Chuan tightly, and asked again and again: "Is this true?" Are you sure you can get three crops a year? ”
"Pretty sure!" Li Chuan's answer was sonorous and powerful.
As for whether it's true or not? It should be about the same! He didn't study agriculture, it was just a big difference, even if he couldn't produce so much, His Majesty Li Er would not be able to cut off his head.
Thinking of cutting off his head, Li Chuan slapped his head and suddenly burst out laughing.
"You, what's wrong?" Li Chengqian was taken aback.
"I remember, a little further south of Liuqiu, there is also a Luzon Island, they have similar weather conditions, it is a good place to grow grain!"
"Okay, okay, this won't worry about running out of food to eat!" Li Chengqian excitedly turned in circles.
After a long time, he stiffened for a moment, and then like an eggplant beaten by frost, it suddenly wilted.
"What's wrong?" Li Chuan unconsciously touched his head to show comfort.
Li Chengqian was surprised, he didn't care, he was not thinking about these little things at this time, "No matter how good that place is, it doesn't belong to the Tang Dynasty." ”
"Then let them belong to the Tang Dynasty." Li Chuan said it very easily.
"Raising troops for no reason is not the work of the kingdom."
Li Chuan was speechless.
Okay, let's go to war, we have to find a high-sounding reason.
Let him think about what reason these two islands have to be included in Datang.
“emmm…… Help them prosper together? Shared prosperity? "Something seems wrong?!
Li Chengqian's face was tangled, and he looked at it with a kind of 'you shameless' eyes.
Li Chuan suddenly realized, this is not used as a fig leaf when the Japanese invaded, he can't use it or not, he is a good person, and he can't be with animals.
"Actually, you don't have to fight it." After a minute of silence, Li Chuan spoke again.
"How?"
"Let's rent their land and send farmers to farm, but after all, we don't know the land, what if their locals bully us? Therefore, troops must be sent to protect it. Li Chuan clapped his hands and said confidently: "Protect your own safety, there's nothing wrong with it, right?!" ”
"No, there's nothing wrong with it." The little prince was a little confused.
"As for the rent, it's easier to do this, just pay them our porcelain and silk that are not very qualified."
"You mean, inferior silk? This, not quite right? The little prince felt a little ashamed.
Li Chuan looked at Li Chengqian fixedly for two seconds, then reached out and patted the little prince's shoulder, "You are a good boy." ”
It's rare to be a good boy!
It seems that doing business with the little prince should not be cheated.
Li Chengqian's face darkened a little, and it sounded like a compliment, but why did he think that this girl was sarcastic?!
A quarter of an hour later, Li Chengqian stood in the Lizheng Hall and had already finished repeating Li Chuan's words.
Empress Eldest Sun smiled gently, "My son is a good boy. ”
Li Chengqian: "......" Why does he feel that his mother is also sarcastic about him?
I can't look directly at these three words!
"This kid has some ideas." Li Shimin squinted, "Lease land!" Yes, we'll just rent it. ”
After a long period of lease, it will naturally become the territory of Datang.
It doesn't cost a soldier a single soldier, and he has two islands for nothing, this kid is really a treasure!
It's just that......
Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian, his son is still too tender!
"Get close to Li Chuan, many of his ideas are worth learning from."
"Yes, father, the child understands." Li Chengqian responded obediently, and then retreated with practical knowledge.
Empress Eldest Sun sighed lightly and said, "Cheng Qian still needs to exercise. ”
"So let that kid follow him, and watch, Cheng Qian can't be idle." Do more things, don't need to teach anything, he naturally understands.
Empress Changsun smiled and changed His Majesty Li Er's clothes, "Congratulations to the second brother for winning a talent." ”
"Haha! It's a talent, but it's also a problem. Li Shimin shook his head a little helplessly, deeply understanding what it means to be 'painful and happy', "Okay, I'm going to discuss things, you're not in good health, rest more." ”
Empress Changsun should send His Majesty Li Er out, turn around and go back to the palace, and command people to send some pastries to Yiqiu Palace.
Since she is a talent, she should be close.
Chongwen Palace, at the moment, is still Li Shimin's study, and it is also a place to gather confidants and ministers to discuss important matters.
There are several important ministers sitting in the hall, the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Li Daozong, Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin.
Among them, Cheng Biting Jin's painting style is completely different, he looks east and west, and he doesn't understand why he called himself too, but the emperor called him, and he listened.
This hearing almost didn't scare him to death.
"No way, Your Majesty, it's impossible, he must be lying." Locusts? Don't be kidding, how could they have a locust plague in Datang.
"Your Majesty, wait for my Lao Cheng to arrest him, if I don't beat him to tell the truth, I will be considered incapable of Lao Cheng." Cheng Yanjin raised his fist and waved it.
In the next second, he was suppressed by Qin Qiong.
Qin Qiong pressed Cheng Jin's shoulder, pressed him on the chair, turned his head and asked, "Your Majesty, has he been bewitched by someone with a heart?" Say so on purpose. ”
It's not so much that they don't believe it, it's that they don't want to believe it.
Li Shimin didn't speak, Fang Xuanling spoke, "The probability is very small, this is not good for him, not to mention, whether he is telling the truth or not, it will be verified in a few months." ”
That's right, whether there is a locust plague or not, wait a few months to know, this can't be faked.
Everyone's faces were heavy, this was a big deal, and it was tricky.
"Your Majesty, it's time to take stock of the country's righteous warehouses, and then, do your best to buy grain." Du Ruhui suggested that this must be done.
It's just that after years of war, it's really hard to say how much food can be left in the Yicang.
Li Shimin nodded and continued to wait for the advice of these courtiers.
Du Ruhui felt that His Majesty's eyes seemed to be a little different today, but before he could produce anything, Li Shimin's gaze had already shifted.
"Your Majesty, did that man say how they will deal with the locust plague after a thousand years?" The eldest grandson Wuji asked.
Li Shimin shook his head, Li Chuan really didn't say, and he didn't ask.
"He did offer a solution." Li Shimin had a smile on his lips.
When the ministers looked at His Majesty Li Er's expression, their hearts were relieved, it seems that this method is good, at least, Your Majesty is very satisfied.
