Chapter 268: Self-sufficiency

Tang Peng was not interested in the way of the military formation, and couldn't help patting Xue Wancheng's head when he looked at Xue Wanqian on the ground, and said with a smile: "Second Brother Xue, you should study your military formation later, what we have to solve now is the problem of garbage and the problem of grain!" ”

Obviously, Tang Peng's attention is not on the fortress, after all, he is actually following the army to mix military merits, and Tang Jian has fought hard this time to risk his life, if he doesn't get something back, he will definitely lose a lot. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although as long as Tang Jian, Cen Wenwen and others complete the canonization, even if they are meritorious, he can still get a little light, but in fact, the big head is still on Li Jing's side. In the same way, thinking about the benefits, as long as Tang Jian's differentiation strategy is successful, then Shuofang will definitely have no war, and then Tang Peng can also get credit, which can be said to be nothing more than a free trip with the army.

Moreover, if you can't afford to fight, there is a great chance that you will be able to share military merits in vain, so Tang Jian will let him enter the army.

However, even the blessing of these two merits does not allow him Tang Peng to get a title, or the credit is not big enough, but Zhang Yi's problem of solving the problem of food and straw for the border defenders is different, which seems to be a great credit.

As a nobleman and the son of Tang Jian, although Tang Peng is a little gentle, it is undeniable that he is definitely a smart person, and because he is well-informed, he undoubtedly has a very keen intuition about things that are beneficial to him.

Because Zhang Yi's name has been loud in recent times, whether it is dried fish in Lingnan or roast duck in Chang'an, or even the new military food in the army, and then to the pesticides researched by the Tai Hospital when the locust plague broke out, all of this can be said to have a close relationship with Zhang Yi.

The most important thing is that Tang Peng feels that although Zhang Yi is very low-key, as long as he puts a little effort into it, he will definitely be able to find a lot of clues, and he happens to know a lot of things about Zhang Yi. After all, in the same noble circle, he didn't know a lot of news.

Zhang Yi didn't know Tang Peng's thoughts, and immediately pointed to the back of the city and said: "Fundamentally speaking, my Huaxia is actually a farming-based nation, I don't understand, we have hands and feet to hunt in order to fight a tooth sacrifice, to fight jackals, tigers and leopards, but why do we not give it completely to the allocation of the imperial court?" ”

"You mean we farm our own?" Tang Peng quickly understood what Zhang Yi meant, but he said: "But this is a border area, maybe the crops are not ripe, the enemy will attack them, even if they don't attack it, they only need to send a small team of men and horses to the geography to put a fire, and this hard work will be all over the place after a year's hard work!" ”

For Zhang Yi's proposal, in Tang Peng's opinion, although it is feasible, and he believes that these government soldiers will also be able to grow crops well, after all, the government soldiers are actually an authentic farmer when they are not at home, and they are old in their profession for planting crops!

Zhang Yi couldn't help but smile, and when he saw Xue Wancheng, Xue Wanqian also looked at it, so he said: "It's naturally not possible to grow food, after all, this is a border area, and if there is a war, we naturally need to take a certain risk, but we can grow vegetables, especially some vegetables that can be eaten in a short time!"

In this way, the growth cycle of vegetables is short, and we can grow them in large quantities. In addition, all these lands are deserted, and we do not need to pay taxes to the imperial court for planting, and we can also consume the daily garbage and manure in the city, so that these domestic garbage have a good place to go and avoid the occurrence of plague! ”

"Grow vegetables!" Hearing this, Tang Peng's face suddenly showed a little smile, and he gave Zhang Yi a thumbs up and smiled: "That's right! Why didn't I think of it? If you grow vegetables, you can avoid the problem of worrying about war.

Moreover, the production cycle of vegetables is short, and vegetables such as Chinese cabbage can be eaten from the planting road for only one or two months, so we can plant them! ”

"Hmmm! I think it's okay! Xue Wancheng laughed, and his back against the stairs was a fart. He sat down, his feet were a little numb after squatting for too long just now, and he quickly rubbed his hands before saying: "Although the current military food is much better than before, it is a little dull after eating for a long time, so the logistics side used to send people out to dig wild vegetables, and the entire Shuofang can be said to have been dug up, and what I want to do is eat so many bites of vegetables." ”

As he spoke, Xue Wanqian became annoyed: "All of them are pig brains, and they are more pig-like tired every day for the wild vegetables in the two baskets, so they don't think about planting some, and they keep boasting about how capable they are, in my opinion, they are all mallets!" ”

To tell the truth, Xue Wanqian guarded Shuofang City, so he naturally knew what kind of situation the border was like.

As a rule, major Turkic wars took place after the end of autumn

Because at this time, the people on the Tang side ushered in the autumn harvest, and their grassland barbarians needed to prepare for the cold winter. Although the grassland can be grazing, who can point to killing sheep and cattle every day? In addition, as far as cattle and sheep are concerned, although they can also be used as staple food, in fact, the production of cattle and sheep is not enough to meet their needs.

After all, the population base of the Turks is not small, so if they want to survive, if they want not to wait for death in fear and fear in the cold winter, they have to pick up scimitars and plunder.

It's not about nature, it's not about race, it's just a path you have to take in order to survive.

Therefore, it is completely safe to grow crops or vegetables at other times, and there is no need to worry about the Turkic army or other small tribes mixing up at all!

"Chinese cabbage is naturally okay!" Zhang Yi nodded and continued: "However, cabbage has a strong seasonality, and if I had to choose, I would definitely choose other vegetables. For example, Tian Qi is a very suitable thing! ”

"Tian Qi?" Xue Wanqian couldn't help but be stunned, looked at Zhang Yi and said, "Tian Qi can also be eaten as a dish?" ”

In his impression, Tian Qi is not a vegetable, and for the Tang people, Tian Qi is generally only cultivated as a green decoration in the courtyard. Because Tianqi has a characteristic, that is, it is evergreen all year round!

Not only is it evergreen all year round, but this thing is also a large piece of growth, and it often only needs a stammer on a vine to be thrown on the ground, and a new field notoginseng can grow again in a few days, which is a very easy green plant to cultivate.

But.... This thing can still be eaten, which undoubtedly refreshed Xue Wanyan's opinion!
