Everything is a trade-off, everyone has their own measurement, from three views to preferences, everyone is different, the same two dishes in front of you, you take two more chopsticks meat, he takes two more chopsticks and vegetables, this is the simplest "trade-off" in life. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Rising to the height of the country, as a qualified ruler, the helmsman of the country, in the face of more important choices, also need to make trade-offs, sometimes it is very difficult to make trade-offs, both have pros and cons, who to choose or not to choose, it has become the biggest problem.

The rice ears were placed in front of Li Shimin, and Li Su's explanation was also very clear and detailed, and Li Shimin understood it in seconds.

On the one hand, the border peace of the Tang Dynasty, send a princess and Tubo and relatives, probably to ensure the peace of the border of the Tang Dynasty for decades, eliminate military disasters, if there is no rice ear of this Zhenla country, and Tubo and pro is undoubtedly beneficial and harmless to the Tang Dynasty, as for sending a woman out to protect the safety of the family and country, neither the monarch nor the people feel that there is anything wrong, when a thing has been repeated countless times by the dynasties, no matter how wrong it is, it is also regarded as the truth, and it has been done unswervingly, almost no one has thought about the nature of this matter.

Because this has been done since the Han Dynasty, what's wrong with our Xiao Gui Cao Sui?

Women are insignificant, even if they are princesses, they are also insignificant, in this era, the status of women is relatively high, however, in the eyes of men, women are still a resource after all, which can be exchanged for the resources needed, especially the princess of Datang, it is a scarce resource, and every time you pay, you must get a greater return.

It is undeniable that Li Shimin has a heart of love for his daughter, but between the family and the country and his daughter, Li Shimin chose the society without hesitation, in his heart, the community is more important than his daughter, so when the national interests need to pay a daughter out, Li Shimin will not hesitate to pay, the Tang Dynasty has gradually emerged after the establishment of the country, and in just more than 20 years, all countries have come to the court, and he is sincerely respected as the "Heavenly Khan". The princess and relatives are also one of his strategic deployments, and they are very important deployments, sending the princess to marry far away, but to calm the hearts of the neighbors, the Tang Dynasty can free up his hands to make friends and attack closely, and there will be no dilemma of two ends of the war.

In Li Shimin's heart, harmony has become his ironclad national policy, this national policy is very effective, Datang has relied on this national policy to have a chance to breathe over the years, Li Shimin also firmly believes in this national policy, so when he learned that Li Su destroyed the peace between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, Li Shimin was furious, and the punishment of Li Su was particularly severe, because Li Su stepped on his bottom line and dug the corner of the feudal empire, and the crime was unforgivable.

But now, Li Su has taken out a peerless treasure, this treasure can make Datang's rice harvest by 1670 catties per mu, which seems to be a small number, but put it in the cultivated land of the entire territory of Datang, a total of 3 million hectares of rice fields, how much more grain can be harvested every year? What's more, if the climate and soil of this rice are suitable, it can harvest one more season than the rice in Datang, and what kind of huge number will the extra crop of rice be?

Li Shimin's heart was full of ecstasy, as for the specific number, he didn't dare to count it, he was afraid that happiness would explode on the spot.

Of course, Li Shimin is also a very cautious person, and it is impossible for Li Su's words to make him believe it completely, after all, this is a major matter, and it is related to the society and Li Min.

Holding the ears of rice in both hands, Li Shimin couldn't put it down, his eyes were staring at it, and he said without raising his head: "Come on, quickly summon the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Chu Suiliang to enter the palace, immediately!" ”

The eunuch outside the hall complied, turned around and ran away.

The hall fell into awkward silence again.

Li Shimin buried his head in staring at the ears of rice, looked at them very carefully, and thought about whether he was at ease, so he carefully counted the rice grains picked from the two ears of rice twice, and after determining the difference in numbers, he nodded with satisfaction, and his eyes flashed with excitement. As for Li Su, Li Shimin chose to ignore it.

Although he has never denied that he is a little fresh, Li Su can't accept that others treat him as a little transparent.

So Li Su decided to break the awkward silence again and make some noise to make the atmosphere between the monarch and the ministers high.

"Uh, today's weather, hahaha......"

Li Shimin still didn't look up, his eyes were still staring at the ears of rice, but he said coldly: "Shut up if you don't have anything to do, I don't want to talk to you, haven't you seen that I haven't looked up?" I don't even want to see your face. ”

Li Su: "............"

I feel like I have become a bridge, and after being stepped on, it is dismantled into debris, referred to as "crossing the river and demolishing the bridge".

Obviously, Li Shimin is still angry about Li Su's sabotage of peace and kinship.

Pointing to the ear of rice in his hand, Li Shimin said: "One thing is one thing, you have merit in offering rice, but it is also a big crime for you to destroy peace, I don't have merit and demerits here, I will reward those who should be rewarded, and I will not show mercy to those who should be punished, Li Su, don't think that this matter is over, tell you, this matter can't be passed!" ”

Li Su blinked quickly, trying to digest this sentence in his mind.

It is necessary to reward and punish, and the merits and demerits cannot be offset...... Does he want to give me the title of prince of the country, and then kick me to Qiannan, and still live another three years with the savage natives? This logic ...... Isn't it schizophrenic?

The eldest grandson Wuji and others came quickly, and Li Shimin's call was very urgent, and the three of them didn't even have time to wear court clothes, so they only wore ordinary Confucian shirts and hurriedly entered the hall.

After the monarch and the ministers saw the ceremony, the eldest grandson Wuji and others saw Li Su in the corner in a circle, the eldest grandson Wuji was stunned for a moment, and then quickly glanced at Li Shimin, seemed to understand something, and immediately showed a cordial smile to Li Su, with a doting and reproachful tone of the elders, pointed at Li Su, and said with a smile: "Chang'an City has said that Li Zi is a little bastard all these years, the old man has always thought that the rumors are untrue, what a good baby, he has the ability and talent, he can break the city with his pen and martial arts, where is the bastard?" It wasn't until today that the old man knew that you kid was really a bastard, look at what you have done, and you dare to mix with your relatives, hehe, you are getting more and more promising. ”

Fang Xuanling and Chu Suiliang are also old people, Li Su, who was supposed to be squatting in the prison of Dali Temple, appeared in the Ganlu Hall at this moment, sitting in the same hall with Li Shimin, this fact itself has released many signals, how can the old traitor not see the mystery of this?

So Fang Xuanling stroked his long beard, took over the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, and laughed: "What the auxiliary brother said is very true, this little bastard is wilted and wilted, he is gentle and polite on weekdays, and his mouth is also sweet. ”

Li Shimin listened to the ridicule of the two beside him, and when he heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and then he said with an angry face: "I have also learned the audacity of this bastard today, this matter will not be spared, and if I don't teach you a long lesson, I am afraid that you will really do something big in the future." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji's eyes flashed slightly, on speculation about the holy will, the eldest grandson Wuji is an old driver, Li Shimin's words once again affirmed what he thought in his heart, no matter how harsh the words were, it was just an appearance, today Li Su can be summoned to the Ganlu Palace, no matter what the monarch and the minister say, at least Li Shimin must have the meaning of taking it lightly.

This team stood without pressure, and the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly smiled in a round field: "Your Majesty, over the years, Zi Zhengxian's nephew has made many contributions to His Majesty for the Tang Dynasty, and now he has only done a little bit of outrageous trivialities, compared to Zizheng's merits, it is really nothing, after all, it is just a junior messing around, and the lesson is enough, but Mo Zhen exiled him to Qiannan, this child looks frail, can't stand the bumps in the road, in the barren land of Qiannan, I am afraid that even his life will have to be explained, and please Your Majesty remember the old feelings, spare him this time." ”

Fang Xuanling also kept nodding in agreement, only Chu Suiliang's lips smacked a few times, but he didn't squeak.

Li Su hurriedly threw a grateful look at the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling, and the eldest grandson Wuji also quietly returned a knowing glance at him, and the two looked at each other and smiled, very harmonious.

Li Shimin snorted and said: "What should be punished, I still have to be punished, if the king of a country can't even do the reward and punishment clearly, how can I serve the world?" …… Don't talk about this, the three Aiqing come here, today Li Su presented a good thing to me, and I have something important to discuss with the three of them. ”

The three of the eldest grandsons, Wuji, immediately walked towards Li Shimin, as for Li Su...... Still crouching in the corner of the wall to draw circles, he felt more and more that his bridge had been torn apart......

The monarchs and ministers in the hall whispered, Li Shimin raised the ears of rice and rice in his hand from time to time, while explaining in detail, as Li Shimin said more and more, the expressions of the three eldest grandsons Wuji were first curious, then shocked, and finally shocked, and their expressions changed extremely wonderful.

"This, this...... Can this thing really increase production by one-third? Fang Xuanling grabbed the rice ears excitedly, his long beard kept shaking, obviously his mood was not calm.

Li Shimin said with a smile: "If what Li Su said is true, it should be." ”

Fang Xuanling's eyes were red, he was the left servant of Shangshu Province, a veritable prime minister, and he was in charge of the specific domestic affairs of the Tang Dynasty, whether it was water conservancy, commerce, agriculture, taxes, etc., he grasped the big and small things, and it was because of the identity of the prime minister that he knew better than anyone what the significance of this kind of rice was, if the treasury had one-third more grain than in previous years, what could not be done? What can't be done? If the people can eat a third more rice, what kind of qualitative improvement will the loyalty and cohesion of this imperial rule be? It is not a problem for Li Tang to sit firmly for 500 years.

"God-given mascot, destined for Your Majesty's Tang Dynasty for thousands of years, thank Your Majesty for your grace on behalf of the people of the world!" Fang Xuanling choked up.

Li Shimin smiled and sighed, and pointed at Li Su, but his tone was not very kind: "Mo Xie Zhen, I want to thank him, the little bastard is in trouble all day long, but his luck is so good that he is evil, this kind of mascot of Anbang and Dingguo actually made him find it, hum!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji turned his head and glanced at Li Su deeply, his eyes were a little complicated and difficult to understand, and then he suddenly said: "Zizhengxian nephew, the old man has a ...... question."

Li Su hurriedly saluted: "Uncle Eldest Sun asked, the foolish nephew knew everything." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was not as excited as Fang Xuanling, but his expression was a little puzzled: "According to what the virtuous nephew said, this thing is the rice seed of Zhenla country, and its country has cultivated this rice industry for hundreds of thousands of years. Hasn't anyone found out before? ”

Li Su said unhurriedly: "Don't hide from Uncle Sun that this question has also been thought about by the foolish nephew, and asked the prince of the Zhenla country, the prince is also puzzled, the foolish nephew himself thought about it, and felt that the reason why this thing was not discovered by our Central Plains is due to many reasons, first of all, the distance is very long, the two countries are thousands of miles apart, now the transportation is inconvenient, from south to north, less than a few months, more than half a year, such a long distance, it is normal for the news between the two countries to be blocked, secondly, the two Chinese languages are incomprehensible, and most of the departments of the Zhenla country speak Tianzhu, The text is also Tianzhu script, Buddhism has not been introduced to Zhenla for a long time, the two countries do not feel that there is any need for each other to have any dealings with each other, third, rice is a thing, I am planted in the south of the Tang Dynasty, on the shape of rice, the rice of the two countries is not much different, the rice grains are similar, only slight differences......"

The corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and Li Su smiled: "Except for boring people like my little nephew, I don't have anything to do to pick the grains on the ears of rice one by one, I'm afraid no one will do this kind of thing anymore, that is to say, although the two countries plant the same rice, I am afraid that no one has ever paid attention to the difference in yield between the two, so the rice varieties of Zhenla Country have been unknown to the world for hundreds of thousands of years, and no one knows about it." ”

After Li Su finished speaking, the monarchs and ministers in the palace immediately nodded, and it seemed that everyone agreed with Li Su's explanation.

Li Shimin grabbed a handful of rice, let the grains leak from his fingers, looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling and said with a smile: "I want to promote this rice seed in Datang, what do you think?" ”

Fang Xuanling twisted his eyebrows and was silent.

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Your Majesty should think twice, this thing is indeed a good thing, if it can be popularized, the blessing of the people of the Tang Dynasty will also be, but whether the output of this thing is so high, the minister thinks it is better to determine it first and then implement it." ”

Turning his head and smiling apologetically at Li Su, the eldest grandson Wuji explained: "It's not that you can't trust the virtuous nephew, it's a matter of social welfare and people's livelihood, you have to be cautious, the virtuous nephew should not misunderstand the old man's meaning." ”

Li Su hurriedly smiled and said: "Uncle Eldest Sun's words are old and seeking the country, and the foolish nephew will only admire in his heart, how can he misunderstand the uncle?" Uncle was overwhelmed. ”

Li Shimin turned his head to look at Fang Xuanling, and Fang Xuanling echoed: "The minister thinks that what the virtuous brother of the auxiliary machine said is very true, and it is a prudent policy to determine the output first and then implement it." ”

Li Shimin thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, it's me who is anxious, but the country of Zhenla is too far away, and it takes a lot of time to go back and forth, so I will order people to go down and order people to look for people from the country of Zhenla in the two cities of Chang'an, it is best to be familiar with agricultural affairs, and summon them to the palace. ”

The three veterans all agreed and praised.

Li Shimin looked at Li Su again and said lightly: "You discovered this thing first, do you have any advice?" ”

Li Su suddenly showed hesitation.

Li Shimin originally just asked casually, not expecting Li Su to say anything, but seeing Li Su's hesitant expression, Li Shimin suddenly said dissatisfied: "You really have something to say?" If there is something to say, what do you do to hide it? ”

Li Su coughed dryly twice and said, "Minister...... It is true that there are some different opinions, and I hope that His Majesty and the three uncles will be blamed when they say it. ”

Li Shimin snorted and said, "This is to discuss state affairs, and I should have expressed my opinions, so why blame me?" As long as Mo Xuewei Zheng'er speaks so ugly, I will naturally be pleased. ”

Li Su smiled, and then said: "The minister thinks that although this thing is good, it can't be used immediately, Zhenla is a small country, and there is a little place in the east, west, north and south, but the Tang Dynasty is different, the Tang Dynasty has a vast territory, the territory is very wide, the climate and soil in each place are different, and the minister feels that the things grown are not the same, so there are clouds in "Yanzi Spring and Autumn": "Tangerine is born in Huainan and is orange, Born in Huaibei is the orange', that's the reason, so the minister thinks that even if he gets the rice seeds of the Zhenla country, he should be cautious about promoting, first choose the cultivated land of a township and a county as a pilot, let the local farmers try to plant a season, if the harvest of the trial planting is more ideal, and then slowly implement it to the state capitals of the Tang Dynasty......"

The monarchs and ministers in the palace couldn't help but light up when they heard this, and now there is no concept of "test field", after Li Su put it forward, the monarchs and ministers were suddenly surprised, and after thinking about it carefully, they suddenly felt that it was very reasonable, and it was very safe.

Li Shimin couldn't help laughing and said: "It's very good, just follow this, what do you think?" ”

Everyone nodded in approval.

Li Su said with some embarrassment: "Minister, uh...... I'm not done yet. ”

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Zizheng still has a high theory? Come on. ”

Li Su glanced at him quickly, he had been calling his name just now, but now that he had changed the wording, it was obvious that Li Shimin's anger had disappeared a little.

"The minister thinks that food is the foundation of people's livelihood, the implementation of planting new rice seeds is a major event, but also a risk to take, we have to be prepared for failure first, mainly because of the difference in climate and soil between the two countries, so in addition to the introduction of rice seeds from Zhenla country, the minister feels that it is just right to take advantage of this matter, set up a new government office in Chang'an, reuse a group of officials who are good at agricultural affairs, and even experts in private farming, specializing in agricultural research, such as crops in or outside the region, whether it is grain, melons and fruits, Find a way to get the seeds, anyway, there are a lot of merchants in Chang'an, this matter is not difficult to do, get the seeds, and hand them over to agronomy for specialized research and planting, such as the rice seeds of Zhenla country, let's get it to agronomy, combined with our local climate and soil in Datang, improve or hybridize the rice seeds, experiment thousands of times, and always find a rice seed that is suitable for the growth of Datang and has a higher yield, and slowly implement it in the world......"

When the words fell, Li Shimin, eldest grandson Wuji and others had fallen into a sluggish state, staring at Li Su for a long time and were silent.

Li Su was stared at by everyone, and hurriedly smiled: "The minister is just talking nonsense, if Your Majesty and your uncles think it's not feasible, then I haven't said it, hehe, it's me who is too talkative, don't blame ......" (to be continued.) )
