Sun Xiangfu planted a relatively novel seed in Jiuyuan County, Li Chengqian wanted to plant it all over the Tang Dynasty, because it allowed him to have more time for entertainment and laziness, the original intention of the matter was so simple, but Li Shimin didn't see it that way.

After listening to Li Chengqian's proposal, he originally planned to go to Lingnan in May, but now he has directly advanced it to February, and when the time comes, he will set off directly from Shannan Road to see off the exploration team in Lingnan.

Moreover, he also canceled all the sergeant operations that had been planned to be carried out in the west after the beginning of spring, because, in the face of everyone's opposition, he also realized the importance of a solid foundation, and it was indeed not appropriate to make a big move on that side until the military fields in the territory of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate were opened.

There is no shortage of food in the Tang Dynasty now, and there is even a large surplus, but there is no shortage of food in the local area, which does not mean that there is no shortage of food at the border, and the distance between the Anxi Dadu Protectorate and the local grain production areas of the Tang Dynasty is too far, and the grain produced in Gaochang, Qiuzi and other places is to be supplied to Persia, and the supply of the army can only be supported by the five families in Shangqi City, and several of them are now on the side of the anti-war faction.

Of course, they were more willing to sell grain at a high price to countries like the Oghuz Kingdom and the Khazar Khanate, which were only three or four thousand miles away from them, rather than selling it to the imperial court at a low price for military rations.

After all, in the agreement that the imperial court had reached with them, they were allowed to sell grain to the Ozgu Kingdom and the Khazar Khanate to use against the Byzantine Empire.

Therefore, after receiving the new news from the West, Li Shimin struggled for a long time, and in the end, he threw the love newspaper into the wastebasket.

Wang Hao's remnants began to move, at present, they are active in South India, when the army of the King of the Ring of the Sun began to fight a unified war to the south, they took advantage of the war to develop and grow themselves, and organized a miscellaneous army of more than 50,000 people, don't underestimate the 50,000 miscellaneous army, they have the quasi-Tang Army equipment before the comprehensive update of the Tang Army's equipment, and they will never lose to the regular army of the Tianzhu Kingdom, and have a relatively sufficient supply of food, medicine and other supplies, which can definitely deal with the army of the King of the Ring of the Sun, Or a deadly assault by the South Indian coalition.

According to Wang Hao's previous plan, if the Tang army sends troops, they will help the weak side, raid, pit the strong side, and then join forces with the Tang army to eliminate the weak places, so that the Tang army can easily rule the entire Indian region, and organize all the young and strong in this area, divide into multiple lines, sweep away in one fell swoop, and the country of Pi, Jialou and other countries, and include the entire land in the southwest of the Tang Dynasty into the territory, and wrap the Tubo Plateau in the territory.

Persia, which also got grain and grass resources, dragged the Arabs, and this strategic plan, almost no one could destroy and disturb it. It was so simple that the Tang army only needed to participate in a battle to obtain a land radius of nearly 10,000 miles and the results of a war of more than 20 million people, so Li Shimin could not be unmoved.

And with this land and such a population as the foundation, the Tang Dynasty only needs to provide food, or a certain amount of armament, and can use the people here to continue to advance to Central Asia, first swallowing the weak Persia into its belly, and then bringing a coalition of more than a million countries to destroy the Arab Empire and the Byzantine Empire, and unify the entire Eurasian continent.

Just one war can unify the entire Eurasian continent in twenty years, and it does not need to consume the lives of the local soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, this huge temptation will of course make Li Shimin rise up speculative.

And such a plan, which seemed to be very reliable, was dissuaded by hundreds of officials led by ministers such as Xiao Yu, Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji, but it was completely abandoned, because Li Shimin clearly realized that all this was only based on Wang Hao's conception.

Wang Hao is not a god, he can't predict everything, and the risk of Datang reluctantly going out to fight is really too great, with the current situation, it is impossible to achieve the timely supply of grain and grass to thousands of miles away, once it fails, there is a risk that the whole army will be wiped out and the elite will be lost, after all, the Tianzhu Kingdom with a population of tens of millions is not so easy to destroy, and if the Tang Dynasty wants to win a war, it must be dispatched by the army.

Therefore, Li Shimin gave Changsun Chong a military order, after the snow melted, more than 300,000 troops in the Anxi capital to protect the territory, all on the spot, the first year's requirements, is to open more than 10 million acres of land, to be after the autumn harvest next year, reserve for the 400,000 army to eat more than a year of grain, he thinks, there is Wang Hao's wave of people and horses to make trouble, within two years, the king of the day will not complete the war of unification, as long as the king of the sun has not been unified, then, Wang Hao's strategy, can be implemented after he is ready.

Sun Xiangfu didn't know that Li Shimin was coming, so he asked Sun Dali to allocate more than 1,000 acres of land for himself in No. 5, and began to take Sun Xiaomei and a group of farmers to plant new grapes, because the temperature in the Jinghu area began to rise after the New Year, and it was already more suitable for planting.

Usually the newly planted grapes take two to three years to bear fruit, the production period can reach 20 years, or even longer, in later generations, some rural families planted grapes, eat two generations of the situation, and, a vine, can grow into a large piece, bear a lot of fruit, how to ensure its growth of luxuriant, the grapes that produce more and sweet, in fact, mainly rely on fertilizer.

Sun Xiangfu used soil methods to make three kinds of fertilizer that can be sweetened, among which chrysanthemum bean cake is the most fat, and there is a lot of organic fertilizer at the bottom, and he also uses animal viscera and feathers to drain a lot of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer.

More than a dozen peasant students, together with a cadre of officials from the Ministry of Agriculture, as well as the people who wanted to learn how to grow grapes, spent about a week planting dozens of grape seeds that Sun Erli brought back from the Western Regions, all of which were planted.

According to Sun Xiangfu's concept, in three years, there will be a thousand acres of vineyards here, and among the dozens of grape varieties, there will always be several grapes with satisfactory yield and taste.

Three days before the Shangyuan Festival, Zhao Long left Jiuyuan County with Zhao He and others and a captain of seafarers, who wanted to use the new ships produced by the shipyard for the last adaptation training, these new ships had not been tested by the waves, and they did not dare to let them sail away.

And Sun Xiangfu also took all the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture and the little princes to the No. 1 field and began to prepare for this year's spring ploughing.

"You can see the depth of the plough and the rhythm of the plough and the ······ of the rake breaking the soil."

Even if the process of preparing the field was painted into a color album by Sun Xiangfu for the people to learn, but the people still want to see how the experts prepare the fields on the spot, including the people in Jinan County, tens of thousands of people came to the No. 1 field to watch Sun Xiangfu prepare the field, and listen to him talk about the future fertilization, soaking, and sowing processes.

It's only been a day or so, Sun Xiangfu's voice is almost hoarse, the peasants have not read since childhood, naturally there is not much mental activity, the comprehension is not high is a hard injury, if they want to figure out the reason for the various processes, they must be repeatedly explained, and the seeds issued to them this year will be a new rice seed that has undergone a round of population optimization, if they really plant well, the yield will be able to increase a lot, two counties, that is two million acres of rice fields, the average yield per mu is about one stone, That's more than two million stones, and when they are distributed to each family, they are twenty or thirty stones of grain, which is enough for a family to eat for a year.

During the two-day field teaching, Sun Xiangfu explained to the people how to soak seeds, fertilizer, as for the planting and field management links after that, the people of No. 123 fields have already had mature experience, when the time comes, everyone can come and learn from them, a family only needs to teach two or three households, Jiuyuan, the people of Jinan County, basically all can learn, after all, the aborigines here have a certain foundation of rice planting technology.

After two days of teaching, Sun Xiangfu returned to Jiuyuan County to spend the Shangyuan Festival with his family, first ploughed the land, dried the ground, and began to soak the seeds after the Shangyuan Festival.

Chang'an City, Shangyuan night, the city is full of lights, even the newly planted landscape trees, are hung with lanterns by the patrol of the Public Security Bureau, several of the most lively commercial squares in the city, but also set up a variety of different shapes, beautifully made lighthouses, since the paper mill began to have a large number of colored paper into the market, these lanterns, made more and more beautiful.

The capital is always the richest city in this era, so the high-end equipment production line of the Ministry of Industry Research Institute has not stopped, tonight, at least twenty or thirty hot air balloons have been lifted into the sky for those who are willing to spend a high price to watch the night view in the air, including the emperor Li Shimin and the emperor Li Yuan, this project is already the most popular entertainment project in Chang'an.

In front of the East Palace, a large hot air balloon that can be used for eight people slowly rises into the air, and its journey is to fly from the East Palace to the beautiful square of Qinglongfang, which is equivalent to crossing half of Chang'an City, which is why Li Chengqian wants to go to the sky, and also needs Changsun Xiang to arrange in advance, just to prepare a rope that can cross Chang'an City, it takes some effort.

In addition to the East Palace will rise into the air with a fixed hot air balloon, ready to pull Li Chengqian back, on the hill of the beautiful square, there will be another high enough sky lantern to lift into the sky, the wrestlers on the sky lantern will slowly twist the rope coil, the hot air balloon in front of the East Palace Gate will be slowly dragged and flew, basically how many hot air balloons are flying over Chang'an, there must be more than double the fixed hot air balloon spots, for their service, among them, in order to prevent rope entanglement, or collision, each flying hot air balloon also needs to be reported, Plan the adjustment of the route and height in advance.

Zanxiruo and Qinling naturally don't understand these things, they only know that Datang has mastered this kind of thing that can fly in the sky, don't look at it as just a few dozen, but the entire 'flight attendants' and ground staff who serve it are only afraid of no less than 5,000 people, unless the fuel tank of the hot air balloon explodes, otherwise, it is difficult to hurt the guests in the gondola.

In order to ensure safety, the Ministry of Industry Research Institute also did three special experiments, directly ignited the hot air balloon airbag in the air, just relying on the fixed points at both ends, relying on the rope to rescue the hanging basket, and finally, to ensure the safe landing of the people in the hanging basket, which dared to serve the powerful and rich groups in Chang'an.

As long as it is a normal person in this era, when he first took this kind of thing to the sky, there was no one who was not soft, Li Chengqian's special hot air balloon, there were two special responsible for controlling fuel, and doing lookout communication 'flight attendants', and there was also a strong martial arts Ouchi guard, they all carried a big bag on their backs, it is said that it is called' Parachute', even if there is an extremely unexpected situation, these people with passengers jump from a high altitude to escape, there is also an eighty or ninety percent chance of landing safely, at least, in the current dozens of high-altitude landing tests, there are only some cases of too much landing, minor injuries, and there is no fatal situation, on those minor injuries, but also with the test jumper himself is too nervous, not in accordance with the requirements of the control related.

Li Chengqian's hot air balloon is equipped with human hands, playing high-altitude landing, naturally he is already proficient to the level of commonplace, so he is very relieved in the hot air balloon, just from time to time to glance at the pale faces of Zanxiruo and Qinling, which can't be covered by the two plateau red, secretly amused, in this kind of environment where they can't think normally to talk about state affairs with them, Li Chengqian's advantage is simply too great.
