The young nobleman raised his eyebrows, looked at Guo Fushan coldly, and said: "Why, is it possible that this military department yamen is a tiger's den in Longtan, those who follow you will prosper, and those who oppose you will die, can you bite off a piece of meat from this king?" ”

Tian Yunlai and the other sailors were all taken aback, it was actually Li Yuanliang, the king of Huo?

Although he is a pirate, he is also a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, and he has long heard of this highness......

The fourteenth son of the first emperor is very famous, he has been intelligent and talented since he was a child, both civil and military, and his ancestors are very fond of him. In the early years of Zhenguan, His Majesty Li Er once asked Wei Zheng: "Children of the royal family, who can be called virtuous?" Wei Zheng replied: "The minister is stupid and dark, and he doesn't know what he can do." Only the number of Wu Wangshu and the words of the ministers did not lose themselves. At that time, Gaozu was still alive and respected as the emperor, and Li Yuanliang had just been crowned the king of Wu by the king of Shu.

His Majesty Li Er married Wei Zheng's daughter to Li Yuanliang as his wife.

Zhenguan ten years, Li Yuanliang was named Xuzhou Assassin History, after going to office, closed the cabinet to study, the state affairs are all responsible for the long history, Sima, cautious self-control, and no resentment, not vain.

It was rumored that Liu Xuanping, a hermit in Xuzhou, had a close relationship with King Huo, and someone asked him about the strengths of King Huo, and Xuanping replied: "No long." Everyone wondered, how can people not have some strengths? Liu Xuanping said: "Mrs. has shortcomings, so see its strengths." As for King Huo, he is prepared for everything, how can I call it?" As a result, the name of King Huo was widely spread in Xuzhou.

Among the royal family, he is also regarded as an outstanding talent......

Guo Fushan smiled bitterly, naturally he didn't dare to provoke this disrespectful son of the royal family, so he bowed his head slightly and said: "Your Highness's status is noble, and the lower officials dare not be rude, but what His Royal Highness handles is not within the scope of his authority, and I ask His Royal Highness to wait for a while, and wait until the waiter Lang returns from the palace, and then make a decision." ”

He really didn't want to provoke King Huo Li Yuanliang, but as the right attendant of the military department, he could be regarded as a member of the court, and there was no need to depreciate himself and flatter. These words seem to be peaceful, but in fact they are not small, you are the prince and we can't afford to provoke you, but there is no need for you to play prestige with me, what about your spearhead pointing at Fang Jun, do you have the ability to fight with that fight?

Li Yuanliang's pale face became more and more unsightly, he snorted, and said unhappily: "That Fang Jun has just entered the government and turned a blind eye to this king, is this how your military department yamen does things?" It's a negative emperor's grace, and the corpse is a vegetarian meal! It's a must, this king will go to His Majesty to see a copy later! ”

Guo Fushan was not afraid of this at all, with a warm smile on his face, he said with a bow: "Your Highness has taught you that the lower officials are terrified...... Fang Shilang has to do business, and he has not stayed in the yamen, which really shouldn't be, but Fang Shilang is rushing to the palace at the moment to meet His Majesty, why don't His Highness go immediately, just in the palace to report that you want to mobilize the Xuzhou garrison for disaster relief, even if it is a copy of the military department, it is also a matter of incident......"

Li Yuanliang said "hey", and when the case started, he laughed angrily: "Your military department yamen is really lawless, why are you so arrogant?" Lao Tzu still doesn't believe it, get a few soldiers to go out to sea for a turn, and get a treasure that I don't know what, so I can leave the yamen and do nothing? This year, the heavy snow in Xuzhou, countless houses collapsed, tens of thousands of people were displaced and homeless, this king rushed to Chang'an without fear of the cold, so that your military department Xingwen Xuzhou garrison to participate in disaster relief, such a major event is not as child's play as him? ”

The sailors are gone.

!

Even if you are a nobleman, we can't afford to provoke us, just scold us for being cheap, and actually look down on us for crossing the ocean to explore the New World and bring back high-yield grain seeds?

We have died so many people, gone through countless hardships, and passed by death I don't know how many times, and all your words are so frivolous that you have denied?

Is it tolerable or unbearable!

"Hula", all the soldiers in this duty room got up and glared angrily at Li Yuanliang.

Li Yuanliang was shocked for a moment, and then said angrily: "What, if you want to rebel, can't you?" ”

Tian Yunlai stretched out his hand to stop the angry soldiers behind him, and said indifferently: "The last general will not dare." ”

The countless tests of life and death on the vast sea have made this illiterate old pirate have already tempered his stoic nature, and the gap between the two sides is too great.

"We just rely on the command of the Hou Ye and have achieved a little bit of merit, how dare we show off in front of His Highness?"

Tian Yunlai bowed and bowed, and his tone was low.

The soldiers behind him were full of anger, but this trip across the ocean, after countless lives and deaths, had already been sincerely loved and respected by Tian Yunlai, although he was puzzled at the moment, he didn't dare to say more.

Li Yuanliang smiled, glanced at Tian Yunlai contemptuously, and said indifferently: "Count you as acquaintances!" ”

Then he glared at Guo Fushan and said, "Do you think this king will not dare to go to the palace to complain?" That Fang Jun is certainly a saint, but this king is righteous, so I don't believe that His Majesty will favor him! ”

After that, he shook the sleeves of his robe, strode out of the duty room, and when he arrived at the entrance of the military department, several of his own guards stepped forward, hugged and stepped on the war horse, and went straight to the Taiji Palace.

As the son of Gaozu and one of the most outstanding figures in the royal family, Li Yuanliang has always been proud, although he has returned to Chang'an in Xuzhou very few times over the years, but he has long heard of Fang Jun, who is thriving, and the jealousy and resentment in his heart have long been ingrained. At the same time, when I returned to Beijing this time, I first went to visit my brother Jing King Li Yuanjing's mansion, and heard that Li Yuanjing talked about the situation in these years, and was almost enthroned to Silla to be a savage king not long ago...... Li Yuanliang became more and more dissatisfied with Fang Jun.

If you are ordinary and arrogant, then it's fine, after all, you are the emperor's concubine, and you can be regarded as a member of the heavenly family, but in the face of the children of the royal family, you are also so domineering, do you really think that there is no one in the royal family?

Of course, Fang Jun is a staunch supporter of the crown prince, which is also one of the reasons why Li Yuanliang has a bad impression of him......

In the duty room, Guo Fushan glanced at Tian Yunlai with a smile, shook his head, and sighed: "What kind of soldiers will be brought out, you guy looks honest, but he is really not a kind person......

Tian Yunlai smiled. Squinted, revealing a jagged mouthful of rotten teeth: "What Guo Shilang said, the last general doesn't understand ......"

Guo Fushan smiled, pointed at him, and said, "Cunning! ”

With his hands in his hands, he paced away.

*****

Divine Dragon Temple.

His Majesty Li Er had just had lunch, and he was sitting on the soft floor drinking tea, listening to Fang Jun's announcement in front of him.

"Your Majesty, these seeds are all high-yield grains, and they can be planted in a wide range of areas, such as Lingnan, Lianghu, Jiangnan, Hebei, Guanzhong, and even Liaodong and Longxi...... Your Majesty, as long as the imperial court vigorously promotes these grains, within five years, Datang's grain output will double, ten years later, the planting technology will become more and more skilled, Datang will no longer have the risk of food shortage, the population will usher in explosive growth, the current prosperity, will inevitably go to the next level! ”

……

However, no matter how Fang Jun exaggerated the importance of high-yield food and what kind of bright prospects it would create, His Majesty Li Er was still drinking tea steadily, his face was gentle, but he was skeptical in his heart.

It's not that he doesn't believe in Fang Jun, with this kid's current powerful position, he has no motive to take the risk of receiving meritorious service at all, no matter how big the meritorious service is in a short period of time, it is useless, is it possible that you can still be awarded the title of a duke of the country, and go directly to the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister?

However, the prospect described by Fang Jun was too beautiful, so beautiful that His Majesty Li Er felt a little illusory and a little unbelievable......

Doubling food production in five years?

That means that Datang will basically say goodbye to hunger, and even if it encounters natural disasters, it can calmly allocate food from other places for relief and disaster relief. With sufficient food, the army of the Tang Dynasty can fight whoever it wants, can chase the Turks in the desert steppe, and can attack Tibet against the trend from low to high......

What is particularly important is that with Datang's current population base, once hunger is eliminated and there is enough food, the population will grow explosively in a short period of time, and it will be easy to double in 20 years.

At present, the population of Datang is 30 million, plus the slaves and tenants hidden by the family lords, it is 50 million, which has doubled......

That's ten thousand.

For a population of 10,000, even if one out of 100 is conscripted, there are 1 million.

One million troops, not to mention the lack of food, coupled with Datang's current excellent ordnance forging, as well as increasingly mature firearms technology......

There's nothing wrong with hitting the horizon, right?

That picture was so beautiful that His Majesty Li Er didn't dare to believe it.

So I only believed half of Fang Jun's "boasting" that was foaming at the mouth......
