"Your Majesty! Congratulations to Your Majesty for all generations! "I got a lot of tan, and I bowed.

"Hurry up, please!" In the imperial study, Zou Yu strode forward to hold it up.

Lai Cheng was the second group of people who went to the south to sail, and they set off before the New Year, just before Zou Yu's accession to the throne, so they did not participate in the ceremony.

"The minister is fortunate to have not disgraced his life and brought back the seeds that His Majesty needs!" Let's get up and say again.

"Good! Good! It's so good! Zou Yu's eyes lit up and said in surprise.

Originally, he thought that he would have to make at least two more trips to find it, but he didn't expect that after discovering the sea route, he would succeed in one time.

"It's also a fluke, the ministers saved a businessman, and he happened to know where Lin Yi was, so he found the rice seeds very smoothly." Let's explain.

"It's a big deal! You thank him on my behalf, and in the future, he will buy all the goods of the imperial court and give him all discounts. Zou Yu nodded and said.

"Obey! This time I went to sea in exchange for 20,000 catties of rice! Linyi rice is cheap, and the minister recommends buying it in large quantities from it. Lai Cheng suggested.

"How much is it worth?" Zou Yu motioned to sit down, and then asked.

"The price is quite cheap! The minister just used some dried fish and some porcelain to exchange for three boatloads of grain. Lai Cheng introduced.

"How long does it take to make a trip? Is Linyi easy to transport? Zou Yu asked.

"If you load the ship as soon as you get to the shore, it only takes two and a half months to go back and forth, and with trimming, you can run four or five times a year! From Linyi to the seaside, transportation is a little difficult, and it is estimated that the minister can only run three times a year. Lai replied silently.

"Do you think you can give a gift to the city lord of Linyi and let him transport the grain to the dock?" Zou Yu asked as he tapped lightly on the table.

"This should be no problem! The minister observed that they even had very few iron weapons, and if they gave some gifts, their city lord would definitely be willing. Lai Cheng introduced.

"That's it! It's better to let their people, build a road, a port! We just have the money, nothing more than some porcelain, silk! What are the people like? Zou Yu asked.

"The people there are like hairless monkeys, black and thin, and very lazy, all women are working, and men are lying at home with babies! It's just that God treats them too well, and it is said that if the rice seeds are sown in the ground, there will be a harvest. Lai Cheng said a little angrily.

"Nanyang monkeys!" Thinking of a title in later generations, Zou Yu couldn't help but smile, it seems that this situation has been formed by them since ancient times.

"Greed! Lazy! Poor! Only there is no shortage of food! Zou Yu said lightly.

"Your Majesty is right! It's like seeing it with your own eyes! Lai Cheng exclaimed.

"Porcelain, silk, furniture, glass, cans, give them more, and be sure to let them go out and build a rocky road! And the port! Zou Yu commanded.

"Will this cost too much, I think that if I simply take some pottery, I can hire a lot of labor." Lai Cheng hesitated for a moment and said.

"It doesn't matter! After defeating the three countries in Liaodong, and then sending troops to take them, Linyi will be ours. Zou Yu said with a wicked smile.

He didn't have a good impression of the people in Southeast Asia in later generations, even more so than the Turks, second only to the dwarfs on that island, so he decided not to give them a chance to turn over.

It's not even a wolf, you can only say that you close the door and let the dogs go! Hit Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje first! And then with the people of these three countries, to fight the South Seas and the islands, this is what he has been planning in his heart.

"Your Majesty is wise! Such a blessed land, how can a group of wild monkeys occupy it! Lai Cheng said excitedly.

Lai Cheng originally thought that the sailors under his command would become a team transporting grain in the future, fishing, transporting grain, and he already had a premonition of a boring life, but listening to Zou Yuyi, this is the rhythm of the expedition, and naturally only their sailors can do it.

"From the side of Yucheng, select people who are familiar with the nature of the water, train more sailors, and recruit according to the people of the army." Zou Yu is still a little excited, Nanyang is almost a little better than the primitive society now, and it is a good time to occupy.

"Obey the order!" When he heard that he had added more than 20,000 subordinates at once, he became excited when he came to rectify, and he replied loudly.

Although he also knew that these soldiers and horses were just a commander themselves, what he cared about was not who the soldiers belonged to, but how many people he could lead to fight, after all, 35,000 were sailors, and 230,000 were also sailors.

As the source of the grain over there was found, Zou Yu suddenly felt that he had more money in his hands, and he could recruit more soldiers.

"The grain is still on the ship, do you need to transport it to the domestic city?" Lai Cheng asked.

"No! Those are all seeds, and they can't be eaten! "I thought that those rice grains were just used by Zou Yu to cultivate rice seeds, and they definitely didn't need much, and the rest was naturally grain, which was transported to the domestic city and used as grain and grass for the war, which was more convenient, Zou Yu heard what he meant, and hurriedly blocked it.

"Linyi rice is very special, called multi-season rice, or two-season rice! In places with mild climate, you can plant two seasons a year, and there is no problem with three seasons a year in Lingnan and Jiaozhou! Zou Yu explained.

"What!" Lai was taken aback, stood up and exclaimed, his eyes widened, and he looked at Zou Yu in disbelief.

"You heard it right! It's a pity that we don't have the right place to grow this kind of rice! But when you win Goguryeo, you can replant for a season! Zou Yu said very seriously.

"I promise that not a single seed will fall!" Let's take a deep breath and say.

In these years, there is nothing more precious than grain, two crops of rice, three crops of rice, listen to Zou Yu, don't think about it, just listen to the name, and you will know the importance of things, this is completely to multiply the growth of food!

"Hmmm! It's still shipped to the domestic city, but it must be explained clearly, it's all seeds! Zou Yu nodded and admonished.

"The minister understands!" Come and make a serious guarantee.

After commending Laicheng, Laiquan left the palace, and Zou Yu asked people to find Yang Cheng.

"See Your Majesty!" An hour later, Yang Yu outside the city rushed into the palace.

"Sit!"

"Your Majesty is in a hurry, I don't know what your will is?" Yang Yu asked curiously. For the change of identity, he is not used to it at all, after all, he has not been the emperor for a few times. For Zou Yu, he is also used to listening to him.

"Liaodong Sailor, back from Nanyang." Zou Yu said.

Yang Yu knew that Zou Yu still had a following, so he didn't speak, and looked at Zou Yu quietly.

"There is a kind of rice in Linyi, which can be grown in two or three crops a year in a warm climate, and they are looking for this seed." Zou Yu continued.

Yang Yu asked with emotion: "Did they get it back?" ”

"Not bad! It's just that this kind of rice must be grown in a warm climate! Zou Yu nodded.

"And what do you mean?" Yang Yu asked puzzled.

"I want you to get things in order! Then take someone to Liaodong! After Goguryeo fights! Just find a place over there to replant the season. I've only heard about this rice seed, so I'm not completely sure, so you can help experiment with it in the past, and then cross it with local rice to see if it can be improved. Zou Yu explained.

"I can go to the battlefield too!" Yang Yu asked excitedly.

Zou Yu didn't expect that the focus of his attention was this, and he couldn't help but be stunned, but it was normal to think about it, after all, boys like bloody battlefields, which is also a normal thing, maybe when he really saw the cruel battlefield handing over his mobile phone, he wouldn't think about it anymore.

Zou Yu smiled and said, "Okay! I'll take you to the battlefield when the time comes, but don't even think about it. ”

"Hmm!" Yang Yu was not surprised, nodded happily, and showed a big smile.

"Spend more time with your queen mother during this time!" Zou Yu gently admonished.

"Hmm." Yang Yu nodded and agreed. His palace was built alone, but Zou Yu let him live in Yiqiu Palace and accompany Empress Xiao to live.

After Yang Yu left, Zou Yu called Fang Yanqian, Fang Xuanling, Yin Shishi, Xu Wenyuan, Bing Yuanzhen and others.

First of all, the new rice seeds were introduced, and not surprisingly, everyone was taken aback, and when they knew that they would plant in a place with a warm climate, without exception, they all strongly recommended that Goguryeo be taken as soon as possible!

For the layout of various places, they were discussed again, and Fang Xuanling brought him another piece of good news.

Tofu appeared as early as the Han Dynasty, but the taste is very ordinary, and after Zou Yu ate it once, he proposed to let the craftsman supervise the experiment and improve.

According to Zou Yu's reminder, it took more than half a year to improve the taste of tofu.

The most important thing is to control the amount of brine, and the beans must be soaked first, and then pushed out with a stone mill, and the pulp pushed out must be filtered with gauze to remove the rough part, that is, bean dregs.

The boiled tofu, after being pressed, can also be made into bean skin and dried tofu, which is not just a matter of a few more dishes.

One pound of beans can produce three pounds of tofu, the key is that tofu can make people full, which undoubtedly increases the efficiency of food use. The taste of tofu is more tender than that of whole grains, and even if it is simpler, you can drink soy milk.

Beans didn't like to be eaten before, but more as a concentrate for livestock! If you eat flatulence with bean rice, you will not only feel uncomfortable in your stomach, but also excrete a lot of exhaust gas, and when there are many people, it is very easy to put yourself in an embarrassing situation.

Because the okara has been grinded, for the livestock, compared to dry beans, they like it more, it can be said that the same beans, made tofu, a pound of beans, the rest of the bean dregs, the same more than a catty, and an extra part, very cost-effective.

Tofu skin, dried tofu, the taste is also very good, whether it is simply cooking, or simple baking, add a little salt, it is a delicious.

In recent years, because of the increase in livestock, under Zou Yu's rule, it can be said that there are a lot of beans planted, so this has become a very advantageous thing.

Beans make food without affecting the feed for livestock, which can be said to be counted in one fell swoop.

The good news brought by Fang Xuanling appeared when the war was coming, and everyone thought it was a good omen, and Zou Yu was also very happy and immediately asked them to vigorously promote it.

This matter is also very easy, because of the previous yam and konjac harvest, in order to make starch in the future, Zou Yu has already asked the stonemason to start making the stone mill, and at the same time, he also asked the craftsman to supervise the production of the stone mill driven by the waterwheel, which is now being promoted together.

After the tofu matter was discussed, Zou Yu discussed the issue of the transfer with them.

This time to attack the Liaodong Peninsula, we must go down with one drum, so we must not make Yang Guang's mistake and let the backyard catch fire. The nest must be set up properly.

Li Keshi went to Luoyang, Su Dingfang guarded against Shuofang Liang Division, and had to guard against Li Yuan crossing the Yellow River. Yao Junsu went to Taiyuan, because Taiyuan could support Yanmen County, Dingxiang area, and also suppress the Turks under his rule.

This time to fight the Liaodong Peninsula, the main force was the Turks, the prisoners of road construction and mining areas, Honghua, and the people selected from the surrender of Diaoyin, plus the original Xinwenli, the people selected under the command of Zhang Gongjin.

Although they are all newcomers, they are all selected strong people, coupled with sophisticated weapons, they are still very confident in fighting Goguryeo, after all, the current Goguryeo is not as good as it was back then.

Of course, the elite also has! Originally, the men and horses stationed in Liaodong, plus the sailors! This time the army of nearly 200,000 was dispatched, which can be said to be the first time that Zou Yu was so arrogant!

The weather in the north, in mid-April, makes people feel the breath of spring. After receiving the news of Li Yuan's troops, Zou Yu also decided not to wait.

As for Dou Jiande, it can only be said that he asked for more blessings, and selling him a batch of weapons is already benevolent and righteous.

Dou Jiande is not exhausted, Zou Yu is unprofitable, with Pei Shiju's father and son, it can be said that the trend of Hebei is clear, Dou Jiande and Li Yuan are not without the strength to fight, especially with Zou Yu, a supporter, he is more confident.

is different from another time and space history, Dou Jiande did not defeat Luoyang, Li Yuan attacked him, this attack and defense changed hands, and the difficulty was naturally different.

And because of Zou Yu, although it limited some of Dou Jiande's development and made him lose some generals, it also made him pay more attention to the people in his current hands, there are not so many faint moves, Liu Heimin, Wang Fubao, Gao Shixing are all generals, which is a lot stronger.

Li Yuan, who was the first to act, did not target Dou Jiande, but attacked Wang Shichong. Xu Shiji was crowned the head of the march of the Southeast Road and led 50,000 troops out of Liyang, and Wu Yunzhao was crowned the general of the right Wuwei and led 20,000 troops! Flanking Nanyang Wang Shichong.

Xu Shiji and Wu Yunzhao have just taken refuge in Li Yuan, and Li Yuan is naturally not good at seizing his military power, so let them send troops, firstly, to see if they are loyal and obedient, and secondly, to consume their strength.

On the other hand, the crown prince Li Jiancheng and the king of Yan, Li Yuanji, led 100,000 troops to attack Hebei!

On the sixth day of the fifth month, the domestic city has become warmer, and the people who work have put on single clothes. 50,000 road builders, I don't know when, have gathered in a valley outside the city.

Generalissimo Li Jing appeared in the barracks and immediately sounded the drum of the generals!

Three-way drum sounds! There were already more than ten generals standing in the big tent, all of them looking at Li Jing excitedly, waiting for him to give an order!
