Chapter Seventy-Nine: Popcorn

The door is so provincial, Li Tai is so troublesome, many people know that Changsun Chong and Li Zheng can't get by.

Li Zheng just wants to buy land, and it won't be so troublesome for Changsun Chong to send the chapter to Zhongshu Province for reconsideration, let alone a farce like now.

Li Tai's troubles in the province were well known, and the entanglement between the eldest grandson's family and Li Zheng was once again put on the table.

From Li Zheng being kicked out of the academy of the eldest grandson's family to Li Zheng becoming famous in Chang'an.

Li Chengqian looked at the scenery outside the East Palace and said, "This time it was Changsun Chong who did something wrong. ”

The official report of the East Palace said: "There are many scholars who have great respect for Li Zheng, and it is said that there are rumors that the eldest grandson Chong instructed the original master to drive Li Zheng out of the study. ”

Li Chengqian's face became more and more solemn.

The subordinate official continued: "Although no one has criticized the eldest grandson's family now, there have been a lot of discussions in private, and I am afraid that this time the reputation of the eldest grandson's family will plummet." ”

Li Chengqian whispered: "Don't let people talk about this matter in the East Palace, but now it seems that the character of the eldest grandson, the father and the emperor will not let him be a concubine, let alone marry Lizhi." ”

After listening to Li Chengqian's words, several East Palace subordinates bowed down and retired.

Now that there is a shortage of manpower in the court, my father is already eager for talent, and it is too late to pull Li Zhenglai.

The eldest grandson Chong also wants to push Li Zheng out.

This time, the father began to scold Qingque and comfort Changsun Chong.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that his father is already disappointed in Changsun Chong.

Three days after the incident, a 100,000-strong military report was sent to Chang'an.

Tuyuhun and Liangzhou went to war.

60,000 Tuyuhun soldiers and horses knocked on Liangzhou City!

Li Shimin immediately summoned the ministers to discuss the matter.

Cheng Biting Jin, Qin Qiong and other generals all went to the Ganlu Hall to discuss.

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others were all there, but the eldest grandson Wuji was missing, and Li Jing did not come.

Li Shimin spoke first: "This time, Tuyuhun suddenly attacked Liangzhou, but fortunately, he was prepared. ”

After reading the military report, Qin Qiong also said: "It seems that what Cheng Yanjin's son Cheng Chumo said is really not wrong, Tubo did not make any moves, but retreated from the border pass." ”

Cheng Yanjin cleared his throat and said, "That kid just said a few words casually, but I didn't expect him to be right." ”

Everyone turned their heads to look at Cheng Yanjin, and they were very disdainful of this old man who was cheap and well-behaved.

Just rely on him to bite Jin's son?

Everyone here knows what his son is.

Li Shimin knocked on the table and motioned for everyone to continue the discussion.

Fang Xuanling said: "The minister thinks that now that Liangzhou is guarded by Li Daliang and there are 50,000 soldiers and horses, they may not be able to defeat them for a while. ”

Du Ruhui also said: "The report that just came yesterday, and the cavalry on the grassland has also set off for Liangzhou, and now I think it should be almost there." ”

Qin Qiong also said: "The minister thought that if there was no good news after three days, he would increase the number of soldiers and horses by 30,000 in case of accidents." ”

Fang Xuanling nodded towards Li Shimin and agreed with him.

Li Shimin finally patted the case and said: "Then do it, if you don't report after three days, Wei Chigong will lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to help." ”

Wei Chigong stood up and said, "The minister has an order." ”

When everyone retreated, Fang Xuanling stayed and said, "Your Majesty, if this battle is to be fought quickly, it should be resolved quickly." ”

Li Shimin took a sip of tea soup and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Fang Xuanling saluted and said: "Back to Your Majesty, if this battle is fought for too long, I am afraid that the food in the future will not be enough." ”

Hearing him say this, Li Shimin's face became more and more ugly.

Li Shimin is not unaware of the things that the household department has reported these days.

As long as there is enough food, the people do not have to worry about being hungry, and population growth can be encouraged.

More than once I have had a headache with the population problem of Datang.

During the great cause of the former Sui Dynasty, the Central Plains Party was fighting everywhere, and all walks of life rebelled against the king and rose up to crusade against the tyrannical Sui.

This dozen is more than ten years, and the population of the Central Plains is about to be wiped out in these ten years.

Li Shimin is also worried, today's Datang is in ruins, there is not enough food, and the population cannot increase rapidly.

If you don't have enough people, if you don't have enough national capital, your strength will decline.

Now the situation has stabilized.

I don't know what will happen in the future.

When the Tang Dynasty first gained a foothold, it was necessary to counter the rebellion everywhere, and it was also necessary to use troops against the Turks.

Now there is an accident in Liangzhou again, and there is a eager Tubo in the rear.

"Your Majesty! Liangzhou can't be broken, once Liangzhou is lost again, it will be difficult to fight back. ”

Fang Xuanling's words said that once Tuyuhun bit Liangzhou, it was like a wolf biting a piece of fat, and it would not let go so easily.

"I don't know that this battle must be resolved quickly, and I don't know if the Turks' stubborn thinking can be relied on." Li Shimin let out a long sigh.

Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, just in case, you should still prepare grain and grass in advance." ”

Li Shimin nodded weakly, "I know that I will draw grain and grass from other places in case of emergency. ”

After speaking, Li Shimin closed his eyes, the grain and grass were tight, and the burden of the war was too great.

This year's grain has not yet reached the harvest season, if Tuyuhun is a month late.

After Datang has a harvest, it naturally has the confidence to fight with Tugu.

It's just a small border country, so there's nothing to be afraid of.

The bad thing is that he is too good at picking the moment!

How much tension there is in grain and grass at this moment, how much Li Shimin hates those families who store grain.

Jingyang

Li Zheng was still sleeping when Li Tai was woken up.

"Hurry up, Li Yifu said that your thing called corn is also ripe."

Li Zheng got up from the bed with blank eyes, "What's the use of being handsome, you still have to get up and work at dawn." ”

I hastily washed my face, rinsed my mouth, and looked at the sun in the sky, and it turned out that I had slept until noon unconsciously.

Leaving the house with a lazy expression, Li Zheng followed Li Tai to the corn field, where many villagers were already looking at the corn plants.

It's been almost four months since the corn was planted in March.

These corns ripen much faster than you think.

Glancing at the yellowing and loose corn whiskers, Li Zheng broke one off, peeled it off and took a look, the grains were very full, and it seemed that the variety was much better than he wanted.

After breaking a few more in different positions, Li Zheng confirmed: "It's all ripe, break them all." ”

The villagers began to harvest the corn, and Li Tai asked, "Li Zheng, is this also grain?" ”

"Of course, we've got popcorn to eat today."

Li Tai chased and asked, "What kind of flower is popcorn?" ”

"It's not a flower, it's a snack."

Li Zheng took Li Tai to the river beach.

The villagers have become accustomed to Li Zheng cooking and eating while fishing on the riverbank.

There is often a pot on the side of the river, which is specially used by Li Zheng.

After setting up the pot, Li Zheng said to Li Tai: "Rub off these corn kernels." ”
