Chapter 210: Hidden Dangers
The rice in the south has begun to be sown in the mango planting season, although the yield is not high, but fortunately the weather at this time is warm and humid, the drought and flood in the south are not much, and the harvest is considerable, but after all, the development of the south is relatively late, the Wu State in the Three Kingdoms period was briefly developed to the Southern Dynasty, and it was not until the construction of Jiangdu that the initial development was completed, so the rice in the south was not the staple food at this time. However, the grain yield of rice is higher than that of wheat, and the land in the south is vast and sparsely populated, and the rice grown is basically purchased by the government and used for disaster relief.
"Shimin, this year's grain output is much less than in previous years, the high-yield fields are two buckets less than last year, not to mention the low-yield fields, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to support a year after all the grain is harvested!" The eldest grandson Wuji looked at the statistics and sighed, Li Yuan's territory is not easy to plant at all except for the southeast of the river and the Weihe River, which can produce grain, not to mention that Guanzhong has not been peaceful in recent years, and Li Yuan is eager to expand his strength and recruited a lot of soldiers, but it is a pity that Li Yuan did not occupy Guanzhong before the winter wheat was sown, otherwise he would not be so worried about food now, as long as the abandoned land can be planted, then it is no problem to support it for a year, but fortunately, the spring wheat is growing well, After the autumn harvest, there will be a surplus of grain, and it should be no problem to supply the war.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to support it for half a year! Just look at it! Li Shimin looked at the eldest grandson Wuji's puzzled expression, and showed him the information sent by Li Yuan in his hand.
"The Turks are going to invade? Is the message reliable! The eldest grandson Wuji was also extremely shocked after seeing it, at this time, once the Turks went south, then these spring wheat would be destroyed, and even the grain that had just been harvested would have to deal with the war, no wonder Li Shimin said that he couldn't support it for even half a year.
"This is still a trivial matter, pay attention to the above, my father wants to sit in Daxing, then this war should be presided over by my eldest brother, but the above said that the war is controlled by me, Li Jiancheng will not intervene, it is obvious that this is to put me on the fire to roast!" The war starts, then it means that someone will have the military power, the military power in Li Shimin's hands is already heavy enough, Li Yuan will not personally lead the troops this time, Li Jiancheng does not rush to ask for military power, where will it be his turn, once the military power is handed over to him, then let alone Li Jiancheng, even Li Yuan has no sense of security.
"Yes, there must be a conspiracy here, it only says that there is control of the war, but there is no right to transfer troops, and even the logistics are not explained, obviously we can only rely on this little force in our own hands, but the north is the territory of the king of Qi, and if the Turks want to invade, then they will definitely bear the brunt, why do we want to resist?" This doubt is not only the eldest grandson Wuji, but also Li Shimin.
"The troops and logistics are easy to handle, we can recruit on the spot, and the grain and grass are also ready-made, don't worry, but now we don't have any news about the Turks going to invade, we only receive that we want to resist the Turks, that is to say, the Turks will directly cross the north or directly cross the territory of Liang Shidu, and how many Turks will have is unknown! Assemble the army and send a team of men and horses to reconnoiter in Turkic territory! Li Shimin had to suspect that if it weren't for Li Yuan's seal and signature, Li Shimin would have ignored it, but even so, he had to find it out, and he couldn't just go straight to the Turks with both eyes.
"Junji, what are you doing?!" Seeing that Hou Junji didn't respond for a long time, Li Shimin looked at him, only to see that Hou Junji was holding a book and reading it intently, and it was estimated that he didn't hear what he said clearly.
As Li Shimin asked again, Hou Junji immediately reacted and hid the book in his hand as soon as he put it in his arms, but he was still seen by Li Shimin.
"What are you doing? What book to read, bring it! I usually ask you to read more books and don't want to read them, but this will lead to pretending, don't hide it, hand over the books! Seeing Hou Junji's action, Li Shimin became even more curious, what kind of book can attract Hou Junji, a person who hates reading.
"No, it's nothing, it's just a legend, the world doesn't have to read it!" Hou Junji said hesitantly, his expression a little unnatural.
"Bring it!" Li Shimin said with a straight face, and the eldest grandson Wuji on the side was also very curious.
Hou Junji had no choice but to take the book to Li Shimin, but how ugly and ugly the expression was, it was impossible to slip away immediately!
"Isn't it just a legend, you have to see that I won't stop you, what to hide!" Li Shimin looked at the words "Legend of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms" printed on the letter, he also knew and liked the stories of the characters of the Three Kingdoms, so it was normal for Hou Junji to be attracted, but he didn't know who integrated the scattered stories and legends into one book, Li Shimin looked at the author curiously, it didn't matter, the name on it made him lose his mind instantly, although the name of Yang Yun on it surprised him, but the name of the eldest grandson made him fall into the ice cave.
"No ~ no ......" Li Shimin felt that there were no words to describe his mood now.
"Unsullied? What is innocent? Eldest Sun Wuji heard that what Li Shimin said seemed to be the name of the eldest grandson Wuji, and couldn't help but take the book from Li Shimin's hand, only to see his sister's name in the list, and at the same time in the list is the name of Yang Yin, the king of Qi, it seems that his wayward sister is now in Licheng, and there has been no news for more than a year, it seems that it is not that she is having a bad time, but that she doesn't want them to know where he is, it should have been thought of a long time ago, how could the king of Qi help his uncle when Yang Xuangan rebelled for no reason, it turned out that everything had already been heard, it's just that they didn't dig deeper. But as long as his sister is doing well, he and his uncle wanted to marry their eldest grandson Wujian to Li Shimin because they saw that Li Shimin was not a thing in the pool, and the Li family was not simple, and now their Li family is a shrinking hand and foot that has been suppressed everywhere, and on the other hand, the most powerful is precisely the King of Qi who follows his sister, is his vision not as high as his sister?
Hou Junji was helpless on the side, and said that you should not watch it, you have to watch it, now it's good. But then again, the book is really good, especially the study of the theoretical value of military common sense contained in it, he still heard that this book was spread wildly in Qingzhou, so he asked the businessman to risk the danger to help him bring it out, and he was dumbfounded when he saw it for the first time, so he kept it secretly and didn't let Li Shimin know, he didn't think that he was too fascinated by what he read yesterday, and he was arrested by Li Shimin today to inspect the wheat harvest together, and he couldn't help but cause such a result for a while.
"Why are you still stunned, do you want me to kick you?!" Li Shimin looked at Hou Junji hatefully, as if Hou Junji had snatched his beloved!
Seeing Li Shimin's appearance, Hou Junji turned around and ran, it would be a fool not to run, but then he reacted that he hadn't taken the book back yet, but he couldn't care about it so much, his life was important.
"Yang Jun! I, Li Shimin, don't share the sky with you!! Li Shimin's heart was full of anger! Not to mention that the two people I am optimistic about were snatched away, and the woman I love the most was also robbed, this hatred is big, but this is also his wishful thinking, talent chooses a good master and follows, beauty loves heroes.
However, this little episode has laid a hidden danger in the fight against the Turks!
