After disappearing for many days, the situation between the DPRK and China has changed in a thousand ways.

Inside and outside Chang'an, of course, there is also an undercurrent.

Gongsun Hong pleaded: "Please also ask Your Majesty to convene a great court as soon as possible and announce the news of your return to the world, otherwise I am afraid that the situation will change!" ”

These days, on the one hand, Liu Ling, the daughter of the king of Huainan, hooked up with princes and ministers everywhere, spreading the news that the Son of Heaven was missing and his life and death were uncertain.

A lot of people have been shaken.

On the other hand, the king of Huainan did not stop.

The news sent back by the spies sent by the central government to Huainan is getting less and less, and the occasional information is also a painless matter.

Think on your toes and know what's going on!

"No, don't tell me about my return just yet." Liu Che said, "Now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you don't let Liu An move at this time, do you want him to continue to endure and let me throw myself into a bogey? ”

The story of the rebellion of the King of Huainan, Liu Che has already heard Tang Qi say it.

Know what to expect.

But even if Tang Qi didn't say it, Liu Che had already been aware of the actions of Liu An's father and daughter.

It's just that he can't dispose of the clan at will because he has no actual evidence, so he chose to turn a blind eye and sit back and watch Liu Ling fan the flames everywhere.

Now that today's opportunity is given, Liu An can't help it.

What a pity to let him go at this time!

Dongfang Shuo smiled and nodded: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, although the king of Huainan is now anti-hearted, his preparation is still insufficient. If you rebel in a hurry, you will never succeed! ”

Ultimately.

Liu Che didn't take Liu An's father and daughter to heart at all.

According to Mr. Tang, even if he didn't know the whole story in advance, Liu An couldn't jump up in the end.

Now that I have a mental calculation or no intention, wouldn't I get twice the result with half the effort?

Gongsun Hong disagreed: "Your Majesty, the impact of the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms still exists, and in recent years, natural disasters have been frequent, and people everywhere are unstable, so it is not appropriate to raise swords!" ”

The problem of grain and grass was a headache for the Han Dynasty from beginning to end.

Especially now that the feudal states are relatively independent, the taxes of the imperial court can only rely on the counties directly under the central government.

In addition, in the past two years, there have been either floods or major droughts, and the harvest has been poor.

The people couldn't eat enough, and the court had no surplus food.

If it weren't for the instability of the central government, where would the King of Huainan have the courage to raise the flag and rebel?

"Your Majesty, it is better to detain Liu Ling, the daughter of the king of Huainan, and then send someone to reprimand the king of Huainan fiercely. The king of Huainan has always been indecisive, and when he was so frightened, he must not have the courage to continue to rebel. ”

Liu Che shook his head and said: "The prime minister is too cautious, now I have the help of the masters of the Xianmen, and I don't have to worry about the food problem at all!" ”

"Immortal Sect Master?" Gongsun Hong was at a loss.

The only people who followed the table fleet to pick up people on the island were the light car general Gongsun He and Chang Shilang Zhongfang Shuo.

He, the prime minister, wants to lead the rear and ensure the stability of the rear.

Therefore, I have never seen Tang Qi, let alone the magnificent scene of the island full of grain.

Dongfang Shuo has seen it with his own eyes.

"Your Majesty, seeing is believing, why don't you ask the prime minister to go to the granary to have a look?"

Liu Che laughed: "Good! I'll accompany the prime minister and go to the inner grain depot! ”

For the sake of secrecy, a large number of rice, sweet potatoes, potatoes and seeds brought back from the island were quietly transported to the inner palace of the palace.

Gongsun Hong followed in a daze.

When he arrived at the granary and looked at the scene in front of him, Gongsun Hong was already shocked to numbness.

I saw hundreds of warehouses in front of me, stretching endlessly, and each one had an open door.

Because it can't be closed at all!

In addition to rice, there is also a red and a yellow skin, and I don't know what kind of grain is piled up in the middle and outside!

Even on the platform outside the granary, there is an endless stream of grain, piled higher than a person!

Gongsun Hong rubbed his eyes: "The minister is not mistaken, right? ”

So much food, enough to feed tens of thousands of troops for half a year!

Don't think that tens of thousands of people are not many, and half a year is not long.

The soldiers and men ate more than ordinary people, and tens of thousands of soldiers ate half a year's grain, which was enough to feed more than 100,000 people in the same period of time!

If there is so much food, there can indeed be a hearty counterinsurgency!

Once Liu An, the king of Huainan, rebelled with his cavalry, the imperial court could logically send troops to suppress it, and then give Liu An a cruel punishment!

Even if the country is directly removed and Huainan is placed under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court, other feudal kings have nothing to say!

This is a more charming temptation than poppy for Liu Che and his courtiers, who are bent on centralizing power.

Gongsun Hong swallowed

I have begun to think about how to fan the flames, or simply release the news that the Son of Heaven has not returned.

led Liu An to hurry up and rebel, so he could hurry up and take over the political legacy of Huainan Kingdom!

"And that's not all." Liu Che's words were like a thunderclap, "There is also a whole warehouse full of seeds, after all, Mr. Tang is alone and can't eat too much food." ”

"These are all planted by him for daily chewing, if the seeds are promoted, my Han will no longer have to worry about food problems!"

"Wait, Your Majesty." Gongsun Hong opened his mouth wide, as if he had heard a ghost story, "You said that these grains were all grown by one person?" ”

"Not bad."

"How is that possible!" Gongsun Hong couldn't cry or laugh, "Didn't Your Majesty think that the ministers were not diligent and did not distinguish between the five grains, and deliberately laughed to see the ministers' jokes, right?" ”

How much manpower can one person have.

Even if you plant until you die of old age, you can't fill the entire inner library!

"With the current seed and planting technology, of course, it is impossible." Liu Che was triumphant, "But if the prime minister knew the yield per mu of these seeds, he wouldn't be surprised." ”

Gongsun Hong asked cautiously: "How much is the yield per mu?" ”

The Son of Heaven is not a person who likes to talk big, and Gongsun Hong already has a premonition in his heart.

Isn't it.

Could it be that these grains can yield more than 500 catties per mu? !

You must know that even millet and beans nowadays, the yield per mu is only about 400 catties.

If it can really yield more than 500 catties per mu, it can indeed be regarded as a good seed!

"It's not much, the average yield per mu is 5,000 catties."

Liu Che learned Tang Qi's tone and said lightly.

Gongsun Hong: "......"

Gongsun Hong suddenly stirred: "Your Majesty, are you kidding!" ”

The voice is particularly sharp, making people want to beat people.

"Prime Minister rest assured, Xia Guan has already led people to Xiandao to investigate, and it is indeed true." Dongfang Shuo said with a smile, "The seeds of that rice can indeed yield about 5,000 catties per mu if they are placed in the middle fields in the south. ”

"What's even more puzzling is the grain called sweet potatoes and potatoes. Not only can it produce five or six thousand catties per mu, but it is drought-tolerant, does not pick land, and does not need to be carefully served. ”

"Especially the potatoes, which are harvested twice a year, are planted in very relaxed conditions. It can completely replace corn and wheat as a staple food! ”

Liu Che smiled: "Prime Minister, this battle may be fought?" ”

"Hit, of course you have to fight!" Gongsun Hong changed his cautious style in the past, "Don't panic when you have food in your hand, the minister will go and plan, let the old thief Liu An raise troops as soon as possible!" ”
