Gongsun Changming held a stack of folds under his armpit, a plate of snacks in his hand, and entered Li Ze's office with a smile. It's rare to think of me! ”

Putting the plate in front of Li Ze, Gongsun Changming smiled and said nothing.

"Fried locusts!" Li Ze glanced at it, smiled and threw one into his mouth, chewing it crisply. "Not bad, good craftsmanship, crispy but not burnt, and the spices are put on the right hold, without taking away the original taste. Whose craft is this? ”

"Uchiko blew it up with her own hands." Gongsun Changming said with a smile: "I originally wanted to surprise Li Xiang, but I didn't expect Li Xiang to dare to eat this thing, I thought Li Xiang, you have been pampered since you were a child, and this thing will never dare to eat it!" ”

"What a nice snack! Why don't you dare to eat it? Li Ze took another one and threw it into his mouth. Mr. This wife is found, this is only a year of time, and Mr. has gained a lot of weight, and his complexion is much better, and most importantly, he has cleaned up Mr. Refreshed, and I can no longer smell the sour smell on your body. ”

"Yes, I chose it myself." Gongsun Changming laughed. "Li Xiang, although the locusts have risen, but because of our early efforts, after all, they have not become a major harm, and they have basically been controlled, and the only remaining ones have either become food for chickens and ducks, or they have become the food on our plates. Local governments encourage ordinary people to hunt and kill, ten pennies a catty. This thing is dried and powdered, and it is also a good feed. ”

"Fortunately, I started early, if I hadn't done so much work in the early stage, I'm afraid it would have become a big problem." Li Ze said with a smile: "Work together, as long as the whole people are mobilized, there is nothing that cannot be solved." ”

"But there are also after-effects. The price of chickens and ducks in the market has plummeted, and the price of eggs and duck eggs has also fallen! Gongsun Changming said.

"Let the local government increase its procurement efforts!" Li Ze said with a smile: "As soon as you come, you can give it to the officials as part of the welfare, and everyone has worked hard to fight drought and locusts in the past six months." Second, it can be supplied to schools around the country for free, our school is not free to provide a Chinese meal, but I heard that the food in some places is really not good, and it can be regarded as a good meal for our dolls. The third aspect is to let the military department increase its procurement efforts, the army is the big head, as long as they eat more, they should consume a lot, after all, this time the market is because of our reasons that the price has fallen. ”

"I'm afraid that the Korean military department will not be willing, but in fact, the army's food has always been very good." Gongsun Changming said with a smile.

"That's a little better." Li Ze said with a smile: "Raising soldiers for a thousand days, now is the time for us to raise soldiers!" ”

"Okay, I'll go back and talk to the Han Military Department about this." Gongsun Changming said: "In addition, Jing Xiang wrote a letter to me, to the effect that I thank us for reminding us at the beginning, they have also done some preventive work, although they have also suffered disasters, but they have finally survived safely." ”

"There is no need to say thanks, the locusts do not distinguish between us and the enemy, and saving him is also saving ourselves." Li Ze waved his hand.

"That's exactly what happened." Gongsun Changming nodded and said: "Sinong Temple about the promotion of new crops, there are already eyebrows, corn in the two counties of Zhenzhou, a total of 500 acres planted, the yield per mu is about 500 catties, Sinong Temple Liu Xin is overjoyed, he never thought that the corn planted on such a poor ridge field, the yield per mu actually exceeded wheat. ”

"About five hundred pounds, very good, very good." Li Ze is also very happy, "It has always been difficult to promote new crops, and the common people are generally reluctant to take risks. Sinong Temple is doing a good job this time! ”

"Sinong Temple has promised that if it fails to collect, it will compensate the people in full for their losses. Now all these corns are also recycled in Sinong Temple. These will be fully promoted as seeds, and by next year, our land that could not harvest much grain will be able to harvest a lot of grain. Gongsun Changming said with great interest: "And this corn stalk is also a good thing, used as feed for livestock, it is much stronger than wheat stalks." ”

"Tell Sinong Monastery to work hard to cultivate better seeds. Unlike wheat and other grains, we already have a mature system of cultivating seeds, after all, corn has just been introduced, this is at most the second generation of seeds, Sinong Temple should not be carried away by the yield of five hundred catties per mu, to make persistent efforts, in my opinion, it is seven or eight hundred catties, thousands of catties are also possible. As long as they can cultivate seeds that are more suitable for our water and soil. Li Ze knocked on the table and said.

"Thousands of pounds? It can't be! Gongsun Changming was dumbfounded.

"As long as you work hard, anything is possible!" Li Zedao: "We invest so much money in Sinong Temple every year, and allocate them the best land as an experimental field, isn't it just for them to work hard to cultivate good seeds, in the past two years, Wuwei Academy has also sent them a lot of good students, and they must produce more results to be worthy of our investment!" ”

Gongsun Changming laughed: "Your instructions have reached the Temple Agricultural Division, but I am afraid that Liu Xin will have a lot of gray hair again." ”

"If they don't push some, they will be satisfied with the results they have achieved so far." Li Zedao: "Jin Mantang's fleet has been going to sea for almost a year this time, and there is no information, I hope nothing will happen to them!" ”

Li Ze suddenly remembered that Jin Mantang was naturally not without reason, new species such as corn were brought back by Jin Mantang's fleet, and now that the corn had been successfully planted, Li Ze remembered this guy again, hoping that he would bring some surprises to himself when he came back this time!

"Li Xiang rest assured, Jin Mantang's fleet, but a large fleet of dozens of ships, with experienced sailors, should be fine!" Gongsun Changming comforted.

"I hope so!" Li Ze waved his hand: "Actually, when we get to the sea, we can't help him, we can only rely on himself, and God's will." Let's talk about the second thing! ”

"The second thing is that the Western Regions pacified Xue Ping." Gongsun Changming handed the document to Li Ze's hand and said, "Xue Ping has recovered Gaochang, so he requests to re-establish the Anxi Protectorate." ”

"Have you recovered Gaochang?" Li Zexi was overjoyed, grabbed the paperwork, read it carefully, and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, very good, Xue Ping is capable and has the means to go, he went to the Western Regions, and finally effectively kneaded Yuan Chang, Peng Shuangmu and others, once Gaochang is recovered, the time when the entire Western Regions will fall into our hands is not far off." ”

"Recovering Gaochang, it is indeed possible to reset the Anxi Protectorate." Gongsun Changming said: "But what Xue Ping meant in the document was that he wanted to come back, otherwise he would not have strongly recommended Yuan Chang to serve as the protector of the capital." ”

"What did he want to do when he came back?" Li Ze laughed: "If he leaves, I'm afraid that Yuan Chang and Peng Shuangmu will have to blow their own trumpets and sing their own tunes, and tell Xue Ping that Xu will set up the Anxi Protectorate, but this is the position of Protector, and now only he can hold it." He did such a good job, how could there be a reason to change generals halfway? If he doesn't return to the Western Regions, he will let me stay where I stay, and when the entire Western Regions is recovered, I can let him come back. ”

"Li Xiang really loves this Xue Ping! It's a pity that he can't understand it himself. Gongsun Changming shook his head and said.

"Now if he comes back, he will inevitably fall into this quagmire and cannot extricate himself, he must have fought with us in the most difficult time, and I really appreciate this person, so I will hold him in the Western Regions, and when everything here is settled, we will consider calling him back." Li Ze nodded and said, "This person, I don't want him to be destroyed by my own hands." Write back to him in my name, with a more clever wording. ”

"Got it! The third thing is Zhang Jia's presentation about the construction of the Hetao. Gongsun Changming opened the third excerpt, "Now it is going well, now the war in the land of Tubo is chaotic, where a large number of Han people began to flee, and Sima Shi played a huge role in this, opened up a escape route from Tubo to the land of Hetao, in just half a year, tens of thousands of people fled from Tibet, Zhang Jia has compiled these people in the register." At the same time, there were also a lot of Tibetan slaves, where the poor fled to, effectively supplementing the problem of insufficient manpower in the Hetao, but whether to let these Tubo people borrow, Zhang Jia is not sure. ”

Once borrowed, they enjoy the same rights as the Tang people in the mainland, they can directly get to the fields, enjoy all kinds of benefits of the Tang people, and be protected by the Tang law.

Li Ze pondered for a moment and said: "Tell Zhang Jia that the Han people who have fled can directly enter the nationality, and the benefits that the Tang people should have should not be missing." As for those poor people and slaves in Tibet, let's give them a quasi-Tang qualification, reduce the rights of the Tang people by half, and pass the assessment every year, and pass the assessment for three consecutive years, you can be naturalized. ”

"It's good, let them see the huge gap between the Tang people and the non-Tang people, and I think these people will work harder." Gongsun Changming nodded.

"In addition, Zhang Jia's matter of asking for merit for the Sima clan in the excerpt is also approved, and the Sima clan is allowed to send two descendants to study directly in Wuwei Academy! Tell them that as long as they are willing to do things like this, the court will not forget their merits. ”

After taking notes on Li Ze's words, Gongsun Changming took out the last official document, "The last thing is a little troublesome, it was sent by Jingnan Ding Jian." ”
