If you want to say that the country is strong, this is a lot more confident for the people. Datang is one of the world's leading powers, and now it is the moment of invincibility and invincibility, those small countries that have not yet been conquered by the Tang Dynasty are trembling one by one, for fear that one day Li Shimin will summon them and suddenly become interested in their territory, and want their country to try to be surnamed Tang.......

No, in order to put an end to Li Shimin's idea and show his attitude, at the beginning of the year, these small countries hurriedly paid tribute, gold, silver, jewelry, and rare and foreign objects to the Tang Palace, just begging Li Shimin to give them a way out.

It is difficult to conclude whether Li Shimin gave them a way out of life, because Li Shimin is not very interested in these small countries now, so he has no special expression.

However, Chen Fei took this opportunity to "knock" these small countries, especially those in Southeast Asia. Because where rice is abundant, and the hybrid rice experiment has also achieved some success, at least the second generation of rice has been successfully cultivated, and about one-third of the rice is of good quality.

What they have to do is to continue to breed this third, and introduce other excellent varieties in the middle to see if they can breed smoothly.

Taking advantage of these small countries' sycophants of the Tang Dynasty, Chen Fei hurriedly obtained a batch of excellent rice seeds from them in the name of the Tang Dynasty, which could be used for cultivation in the future.

Li Shimin also attaches great importance to hybrid rice, if it can really succeed and put into mass production, it will completely solve the problem of so many people eating in the future! Not to mention anything else, this alone is enough for Li Shimin to be praised by future generations, and maybe it will completely wash away the "stain" he did seventeen years ago, so Li Shimin also strongly supports Chen Fei, anyway, there is no need to worry about funds, manpower and material resources, and he is absolutely satisfied.

In addition to hybrid rice, several other species brought by Chen Fei, such as sweet potatoes, corn, etc., have developed very well, especially sweet potatoes, because of their excellent taste and easy to plant, after several years of promotion, the Central Plains has been planted by almost every household, and this trend of "planting sweet potatoes" has begun to spread all over the country, Jiangnan, Northeast and other places have slowly begun to plant farmers. It is believed that it will not be long before sweet potatoes will become a national-level food, and their status will be the same as that of rice noodles. That's what he'd love to see.

I just don't know when he will be able to start his "Great Voyage" program! Chen Fei sighed, and wanted to mention the sailing plan to Li Shimin several times, but in the end he didn't speak.

Li Shimin has experienced two parent-child rebellions, and his psychology is a sensitive period, Chen Fei is afraid that if he mentions it during this time, he will be misunderstood by Li Shimin, so he will be wary of him, and it will be worth the loss.

So in addition to doing his own things every day, he put more energy on Li Zhi.

I have to say that Li Zhi is still a little too immature compared to his two elder brothers, whether it is dealing with people or scheming, he is simply like a child.

Although Chen Fei knew that this kid's throne was basically stable, but this Li Shimin hadn't settled down yet, what if Li Zhi made a mistake like his two elder brothers? There's no place to cry.

Chen Fei had no choice but to work for Li Zhi, striving for Li Shimin to set the position of the crown prince as soon as possible.

This involves a very important person, who will indirectly affect the final candidate for the position of the crown prince, this person is Zhao Guogong - the eldest grandson Wuji!

In history, Li Shimin almost elected Li Ke, the king of Wu, as the crown prince, because of the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, which changed Li Shimin's mind and finally elected Li Zhi as the crown prince, so the support of the eldest grandson Wuji is very important.

For three days in a row, Chen Fei didn't go anywhere after work, so he ran to the eldest grandson Wuji's house, and went to eat and drink every day, which was famous: "Learn government affairs." It made the eldest grandson Wuji cry and laugh, but he couldn't have a seizure.

Because Chen Fei really has a job under his Shangshu Province, and he takes him in his department for five out of ten days, and you really can't drive him away.

However, the eldest grandson Wuji is such a good person, as soon as he saw Chen Feixiao's bad appearance, he knew that this kid must have something hidden in his heart.

So when Chen Fei came to eat shamelessly on the fourth day, the eldest grandson Wuji spoke first, asking Chen Fei what difficulties he had encountered recently, and whether he needed to help him come up with ideas.

As soon as the eldest grandson Wuji spoke, he just fell into Chen Fei's arms. Waiting for him to speak first can he let himself take the initiative.

Therefore, as soon as the eldest grandson Wuji spoke, Chen Fei went straight to the point after being polite, and bluntly asked the eldest grandson Wuji to help Li Zhi when His Majesty established the prince.

Probably the eldest grandson Wuji didn't expect Chen Fei to be so direct, so he was stunned for a while at first, but soon he reacted, touched his beard and laughed: "Chen Fei, Chen Fei, they all say that you are a smart person, but I didn't expect you to be confused this time." ”

Chen Fei looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and wondered: "What does the eldest grandson uncle mean by this?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled slightly, touched his beard and said slowly: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin is the nephew of the old man, who else can the old man face if he doesn't look at his nephew?" You can't look at outsiders, right? What's more, His Royal Highness King Jin is the first heir to the throne, and he should help him both privately and publicly. Wouldn't it be superfluous for you to persuade the old man? ”

"Hehe," Chen Fei scratched his head with a smile, and said: "Uncle Eldest Sun smiled, but the little nephew was a little anxious, His Majesty has not set up the prince for a long time, and I don't know what the considerations are, the little nephew is anxious, so he came to ask Uncle Eldest Sun for help, if you are in a hurry, please forgive Uncle Eldest Sun." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji laughed, pointed at Chen Fei and said angrily and funny: "You, you, you, you are really a complete little slippery head, the old man guessed that you have long been on the side of King Jin, right?" I'm afraid I won't be in such a hurry to say good things for King Jin. ”

Chen Fei smiled and was silent. Secretly, the old fox is the old fox, and he saw through it.

Seeing Chen Fei's appearance, the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly knew what to expect, pretended to cough, and said slowly: "It's not that the old man doesn't like to help King Jin, but the time has not yet come." Your Majesty was betrayed by his three sons at this moment, and it was a sad time in his heart, and he should not touch His Majesty's pain during this time, so as not to backfire. Let's wait a few days, and when the wound in His Majesty's heart passes, he will naturally propose the matter of electing the prince, and then the old man will definitely speak for His Royal Highness the King of Jin. As for now...... Let's wait and see what happens, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. ”

Yes, the feelings are in vain today, and I know that this old guy is not so easy to convince. Chen Fei sighed and nodded helplessly.
