Chapter 253: Take a step and see a hundred steps

Wei Renshi grinned and said, "I was still discovered by His Highness!" ”

Li Yu heard it and said, "Sure enough! ”

"The place around the kingdom is no longer in the hands of the Tang Dynasty, and the ministers are unwilling." Wei Renshi said: "Your Highness still remembers, when the minister told His Highness about the rice in Zhancheng, he said that the kingdom of Nahuan is very backward and not educated, and the farmers in its country cultivate extensively, and there is no irrigation, so the rice will no longer be taken care of when it is planted, let it grow naturally, and harvest it when it is ripe." Its cultivation is also, only to break the block is no longer deep, but to plant in the field, not to mention the seedlings. After planting, drought does not seek water, waterlogging does not dredge, there is no dung soil, and it is not tired, and it is left to the sky. But even so, the people never knew what the word famine was. ”

Li Yu nodded and said, "Lone remembers." ”

"Then Your Highness thinks that the farming of our Tang Dynasty is better than the people of this ring kingdom in terms of farming tools and technology?" Wei Renshi asked.

"How can that be the same day!" Li Yu shook his head and said.

Wei Renshi clapped his hands: "Yes!" Where the people of the Ring Kingdom are so rough and reaping the harvest, they still don't know what the famine is. If our Datang farmers had brought our Datang farming tools and technology there, wouldn't they have been able to produce more grain! ”

"Besides, the number of crops of rice in the city is the hotter the place, the more seasons. In our Datang territory, if you come to Lingnan, you can only have two seasons a year. Further north, it can only be harvested once a year, with other rice varieties. But where is it in the Ring Kingdom? And three to four seasons a year! Not only the Ring Kingdom, but also such a large piece of land around the Ring Kingdom, all of which can be ripened three to four times a year! Your Highness, think about it, if those places become our Datang's, then how much more grain can our Datang harvest every year?! Wei Renshi said in a voice full of bewilderment.

Li Yu's throat moved, obviously swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

Wei Renshi continued: "Moreover, its country has a mountain of gold, and the stones are all red, and gold is born in it. The golden night flies out, like fireflies. and tortoiseshell, shell teeth, jibei, and agarwood incense. Jibei, the name of the tree also, when its bloom is like a goose, draw its thread and spin it to make cloth, white and cloth is not different, also dyed into five colors, woven into a spotted cloth also. Sinking wood, the native people cut it, accumulate years, rot and the heart is alone, put in the water is sinking, so the name is called agarwood. It was an incomparably rich land, but it was a pity that it was full of uneducated barbarians, alas, it was a pity that such a large piece of treasure land! ”

That's right, Wei Renshi deliberately said such an exaggeration, it was to lure Li Yu in Chiguoguo.

It is to make him jealous, to make him angry, to make him want to take that piece of land for himself!

It is like the mysterious Orient that was "full of gold" in the eyes of Europeans in later generations. This dream encouraged many European adventurers and navigators to find ways to go to the East. And in fact, the East really didn't treat him badly. The wealth and technology from the East enabled the Europeans to quickly open up new shipping routes, start the Age of Discovery, complete the primitive accumulation of capitalism, and promote the later scientific and technological revolution. It can be said that wealth is always one of the most powerful internal drivers of progress.

Wei Renshi hoped that the Tang Dynasty would occupy the area, which would provide the Tang with a large area of land suitable for cultivation, and that the climate would ensure that Champa rice could be harvested three times a year. And this ensured the food supply of Datang, reduced the burden of the people on the land, and the constraints of the land on the people. As long as there is enough food, more people will go into business. The development of commerce is the main source of a country's wealth. When the business has developed to a certain extent, all aspects of Datang will usher in innovation.

In addition, there is wood on this land that is most suitable for ocean voyages. Until the advent of machines capable of propelling large steel ships, these ships made of wood would be the most important source of building materials for ocean voyages.

Wei Renshi will unveil the wealth of the whole world in front of the eyes of the world step by step, so that the world can expand and expand outward...... All this is inseparable from ocean-going vessels.

Wei Renshi's vision is longer than that of all people in this era, and he will never be confined to the feudal towns and eunuchs in front of him.

Even without him in history, Li Chun recovered the feudal town. What's more, now with his help?

So Wei Renshi didn't care at all.

What Wei Renshi wants is a great rejuvenation of the Tang Dynasty!

Li Yu's eyes showed a look of approval, and he seemed to agree with Wei Renshi's statement.

He subconsciously added his lips. Also, whoever hears of such a place wants to take it for himself, not to mention that Li Yu is a very thoughtful prince.

"I'm just sorry!" Wei Renshi said: "This is like a peerless divine weapon, which is used as a crutch by a stupid stupid Hanako." Weichen is unwilling! Why are those barbarians who don't know anything or even know how to wear neat clothes, but occupy such a large area of land that can grow three crops of rice in a year, while the people of my Datang have to worry about food! Weichen is not convinced! ”

"Lonely is not convinced!" Li Yu opened his mouth and said.

After speaking, his face suddenly darkened, and he said, "It's not okay if you don't accept it." Wei Sheng thought well, but now the Tang Dynasty ...... Alas, why wasn't Wei Sheng born in Kaiyuan, if it was then, the imperial court would be able to take it! ”

"I can do it now." Wei Renshi said: "Your Highness, you must know that you must take precautions for everything. At present, although there are feudal towns in my Tang Dynasty, it is only in the land of Heshuo. The south side is still very stable. But the ring kingdom is very weak, too weak, weak is not good. Not to mention Tibet, even the Uighurs are much stronger than him. As long as there is medicine that can resist the miasma, as long as there are suitable weapons, our 10,000 elite soldiers of Datang can conquer it. Once conquered, it will become the granary of the Tang Dynasty, providing a steady stream of grain for the imperial court and the Tang Dynasty. Instead, the imperial court could take advantage of the feedback there and turn its head against any disobedient feudal town. ”

Li Yu's eyes burst out, but his mouth said in a deep voice: "Right now, the Shence Army is already doing its best to garrison the territory of the Tang Dynasty, how can it still free up its hands to go to the Ring Kingdom?" I'm afraid that as soon as the Shence army moves, before it reaches the Ring Kingdom, the northern land will be in chaos first. ”

"That's why now we have to re-raise the Sixteen Guards!" Wei Renshi said: "This is not an overnight thing, what Wei Chen said is not to let Datang occupy the Ring Kingdom now, what the minister has to do is to take precautions, first explore the situation around the Ring Kingdom, and wait for the combat power of the Sixteen Guards to recover, it is the time for Datang to open up the granary!" ”

Li Yu thought silently for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Wei Sheng is a person who accepts the world, this world is in Wei Sheng's chest, it is like a chess game, take one step, see a hundred steps!" I'm afraid that Wei Sheng has already planned to take the Kingdom of Ring from the time he dedicated the method of forging his body to train his soldiers! ”

Wei Renshi was stunned, uh, this ...... Not really!

However, let's not talk about it.
