After coming out of the imperial study, Gao Ming went directly to Cheng Yanjin's mansion.

Cheng Yanjin was still very happy about Gao Ming's arrival, and after welcoming him into the house, he shouted at his subordinates.

"Hurry, hurry...... Hurry up and prepare the wine and food, didn't you see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince coming down? I really didn't have any eyes...... And you, Cheng Chuhei, Lao Tzu is talking about you! Go, take out Lao Tzu's wine, don't drink it secretly, otherwise Lao Tzu will break your legs......"

Looking at Cheng Yanjin, who was shouting, Gao Ming's originally depressed mood was inexplicably better, and there was a little more smile on his face.

"Uncle Cheng doesn't need to be so polite, just prepare two side dishes."

"How does this work?"

As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, Cheng Yanjin immediately shook his head.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can afford to come here because of my old Cheng, if I neglect you, how will I be a person in the future? No, absolutely not! ”

“……”

Looking at Cheng Yanjin with a stubborn face, Gao Ming couldn't say anything, so he could only sit down quietly, drink tea, and look at Cheng Yanjin with a smile on his face.

"I'll just watch you pretend and force ...... quietly."

Soon, Cheng Yanjin noticed Gao Ming's expression that seemed to be smiling, he suddenly blushed, and then sat down in front of Gao Ming with a sneer.

After sitting down, he grinned at Gao Ming and showed a sincere smile.

"Hehe, these unsuccessful things just don't scold and feel uncomfortable, so that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince laughs, by the way, what is the matter with His Royal Highness the Prince's visit to me this time?"

Seeing that Cheng Yanjin was finally willing to sit down and talk well, Gao Ming smiled slightly, then slowly took a sip of tea, and put the tea cup down before opening his mouth to him.

"Actually, I came this time for two things, the first thing is that I plan to organize an ocean-going fleet to go overseas to find a high-yield grain called corn, which is enough for me to stop famine in Datang!"

"Oh? Is there such a thing? ”

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Cheng Yanjin suddenly became serious, and then arched towards Gao Ming.

"This is a major event related to my Tang Dynasty for thousands of generations, as long as you can use the place of the old minister, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince commanded, I stayed on the ship for half a month last time, and this boat is not difficult for me!"

"Hahahaha!"

Seeing Cheng Yanjin's confident look, Gao Ming immediately laughed, and nodded while laughing.

"Of course I know that it will be difficult for you to take a boat, but this time I have arranged for someone else to go to find food, I only need you to select 20,000 soldiers to follow, these soldiers are better to go with you to Liuqiu and Luzon, forget about seasickness."

Hearing Gao Ming's words, a trace of disappointment suddenly flashed on Cheng Yanjin's face, but he still nodded.

"Okay, since His Highness has arranged for someone else to go, then let's continue to stay in Chang'an, as for the 20,000 soldiers with good water nature, I will let people choose when I go back."

Hearing Cheng Yanjin agree, Gao Ming nodded with satisfaction.

"Well, that's good, when everyone has found it, let them go directly to Luofu Prefecture in Annan, I have already sent someone there to prepare, and you can set off when your people arrive."

"Yes, I see!"

Speaking of this, Cheng Yanjin arched towards Gao Ming again.

"I wonder what the second thing Your Highness said?"

Hearing Cheng Yanjin's words, Gao Ming immediately laughed.

"That's the second thing...... By the way, I heard that you just brought back a batch of cattle and sheep from Xue Yantuo? ”

Although he didn't know why Gao Ming suddenly asked this, when he heard his question, Cheng Yanjin immediately laughed.

"Hehe, you also know His Royal Highness the Prince, yes, this time we did get a large number of cattle and sheep, and the cubs of Xue Yantuo didn't plant, and they surrendered after two defeats, especially the Uighur guys who saw the wind and steered the rudder, I ......"

Seeing the signs of Cheng biting Jin and gushing endlessly, Gao Ming hurriedly interrupted him.

"Uh...... Uncle Cheng, your glorious record, you will tell me slowly and not eat it when you are waiting for you to drink, so you should tell me first now, how many cows did you get this time, and when will you be able to send them to Chang'an? ”

"Well...... this"

Hearing Gao Ming's question, Cheng Yanjin suddenly frowned and muttered for a while, as if he was thinking about something, and only after a while did he raise his head and nodded towards Gao Ming with a serious face.

"There are more than 20,000 cows in total, and I don't know the specific number of sheep, but it must be no less than 50,000, and it can be brought to Chang'an in ten days at the latest!"

"Good!"

Cheng bit King Kong, Gao Ming immediately slapped his thigh, and then looked at him excitedly.

"Uncle Cheng, I don't care about the sheep, you can deal with it as you want, but there are more than 20,000 cows, I need you to send them directly to the cavalry guard camp outside the city, is there a problem?"

"This ......"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Cheng Yanjin immediately hesitated, but soon he made a decision, only to see him grit his teeth, and then arch towards Gao Ming.

"I understand, Your Royal Highness the Prince, please rest assured, as soon as the ox arrives, the old minister will send it directly to your cavalry guard camp!"

Looking at his resolute look, Gao Ming seemed to think of something, and immediately couldn't help laughing, and waved towards him while laughing.

"Haha, Uncle Cheng doesn't need to worry, I have already told my old man about this, so you can send me the cattle boldly and boldly, and I don't plan to slaughter these cows."

"Oh, I see!"

Hearing Gao Ming say this, Cheng Yanjin breathed a sigh of relief, but soon he became confused again.

"Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not going to slaughter these cattle, then why are they sent to the barracks? Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't blame me Lao Cheng for being too talkative, these grassland cattle can be eaten, and it's useless, in my opinion Lao Cheng, it's better to slaughter it early, and then give me a taste of both heads! ”

"Give you a taste of both? You've got a big appetite, right? ”

Looking at Cheng Biting Jin's hippie smiling face, Gao Ming suddenly gave him an angry look.

"It's no problem to give you two cows, but wait, I'm going to try to turn these prairie cattle into ploughing cattle, and if there are unqualified ones, it's no problem to give you a few when the time comes."

Gao Ming didn't plan to fool Cheng Biting Jin, because compared with the precious farming cattle, the value of grassland cattle that can't plough the fields is not high, at best they are just valuable livestock, anyway, they can't eat it all, so it's good to give Cheng Biting Jin a few heads as a favor.

Cheng Yanjin is also an "old Jianghu", and when he saw Gao Ming's expression, he knew that "there was a door", and immediately arched towards Gao Ming with a smile.

"Then the old minister thanked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first, but Your Highness, there is still a difference between this cow and a cow, Your Highness, you have never worked in agriculture, so there are some things you don't know, hehe!"

Speaking of this, Cheng Yanjin grinned again, and that expression was like a rural person seeing that people in the city treat corn seedlings as garlic.

Gao Ming also knew what Cheng Yanjin was laughing at, so he immediately shook his head with a smile.

"I understand what Uncle Cheng means, but I have to tell you that grassland cattle can indeed become ploughing cattle, as long as you put a nose ring on them!"

"Nose ring?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Cheng Yanjin's smile suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by a thick curiosity.

"What is a nose ring?"
