Chapter 185: The undercurrent under the strong Tang Dynasty
The only advantage of fighting in Jiaozhi is not to worry about food to eat, under the spur of Yanglin, the people under the rule of Sanwangcheng who descended to the Tang Dynasty not only harvested the second crop of rice this year, but also sowed as much as possible for the three seasons of rice, with a total revenue of five million stone grain, enough for the people under the current rule of Yanglin to eat for two years, it seems that Li Er's army to conquer the south can continue to be consumed in Yunan City with An Miao, and it is just late in July, and the good news of a bumper harvest has come everywhere.
The land of Jiangnan has overcompleted the expropriation of two million stone grain, the land of Huainan is more than one million stone, and the land of Guanzhong has also broken out this year, and the sweet potatoes that have been transformed into non-staple foods are not counted, and the harvest of corn and wheat alone has reached eight million stones, which is enough to supply more than three million people in Chang'an City to eat, and the other provinces have not suffered any disasters, and the government's warehouses are surplus, of course, the credit for this bumper harvest is inseparable from the Ministry of Agriculture, which has only been established for a year, and has people who understand agriculture and specialize in supervising and managing agriculture. The yield of grains will only soar step by step, the fertilizer method proposed by Yanglin with the use of phosphate fertilizer and carbon fertilizer is the new farming method that the Ministry of Agriculture will implement to the whole country in the next year, sweet potatoes are planted in wasteland, wheat is planted in dry land, rice is planted in waterfront land, and the specific planning of farmland and various water conservancy projects will also be the work goals of the Ministry of Agriculture in the next year. For the imperial court, it can only be regarded as a small meaning.
In the season of grain harvest, regardless of victory or defeat, the two sides will not have a good time in the future, so the Tubo people and Yanglin have tacitly chosen a truce, and they are also always looking for the opportunity to start a war, strictly speaking, the Tubo people are looking for the opportunity to start a war, Yanglin is arranging defense, the Tubo people are too mobile in the plains, according to the news sent back by the spies, Tony Wangcheng has now gathered more than 30,000 Tubo cavalry. If Yanglin drove out with the big stupid elephant, they were likely to copy Yanglin's back road overnight, the Tubo people were not the seven grass kings of Jiaozhi, and even the army personally led by a famous general like Li Jingcheng Biting Jin could only fight a defensive battle when there were more people than them, so Yanglin was very cautious.
On a sunny day, the harbor not far from the Hongdu Wangcheng ushered in a huge number of guests, and the Yanglin of the Three Kings finally chose the Hongdu Wangcheng as the place of governance, not only because he is now on the front line of the war, but also because his location in the land is really good, and the Gold Coast of the later generations is said to be here.
"Little fairy. This is the new wine produced by the top ten factories in the east and west this year, there are 80,000 cylinders, 1,000 catties each, a total of 10,000 cylinders were brought to Xiachuan Island, and 3,000 cylinders were sent to Jiaozhi, Chang'an according to your instructions, our Wangjia Village has buried 10,000 cylinders in the ground, and it is estimated that in winter, there are 80,000 cylinders of new wine coming out. Do you think we want to put up another 10,000 cylinders? "Wang Erniu's fleet arrived at the Hongdu Wangcheng at the end of August, and his entourage consisted of more than 100 thousand-ton cargo ships, bringing with them a lot of strategic materials and Tang people who were willing to go to Jiaozhi, of course. They also had the task of transporting food to other fronts.
"Only 160,000 cylinders are produced a year, which is too little, and the Hu merchants in the Western Regions here will eat half of it, and the distillery will have to increase production. We are not short of food now, and in the future, the new wine produced by the distillery will be directly divided into threes and stored in the cellar of Wangjia Village. Sue sΓΉ you, five years of aging, the value of a vat is absolutely worth more than ten vasks of new wine, ten years of brewing value can be increased tenfold, fifteen years of brewing, you can ask someone to take the same weight of gold to exchange, we will be out of wine in five years, is now buried wine, don't worry about the storage place is not big enough, there are mountains in Qinling Mountains do not know tens of thousands, you develop them for me one by one, in addition to the wine, Yushan, which is relatively close to Chang'an City, Nanshan will also be developed, where it will be a place for the people of Chang'an City to go sightseeing, pavilions and pavilions, The more beautiful it is, the better, and it will be very profitable in the future. β
Yang Lin slapped open the sealing mud of a wine jar, raised his head and poured a sip, now his body is getting stronger and stronger, due to the practice of qigong, he still has a relatively large demand for wine that can be strong.
"But our wine is now at a high price, and if it is doubled tenfold or tenfold, how many people can afford it?" Wang Erniu actually likes to listen to Yang Lin to him some business strategies or future development directions, as long as he puts these words out, he can cause a shock in the business community of Chang'an, and now the eldest grandson Wuji is in charge of the Ministry of Commerce, it is said that a businessman wants to invite him to a meal, and if there is no thousand gift money, he will not be exempted from respect, so that the entire Tang people do not understand that the money in Chang'an came out of there.
Although the distillery can now brew about 90 degrees of alcohol, but it can't make as sweet as later generations, drunk will not have a headache of good wine, Datang's new wine is roughly classified into three levels, more than 30 degrees, more than 40 degrees and more than 50 degrees, 50 degrees of drinking into the mouth is very hot, drunk will have a headache, mostly drink a small sip when heating in winter, more than 40 degrees is a good wine that people who love wine often drink, the strength is slightly weaker, drunk is not so uncomfortable, more than 30 degrees is the favorite of ordinary people, Generally, people who are engaged in physical work drink half a catty and eight taels a day to work the most powerful, and it belongs to the wine with the highest sales, and Yanglin is filled with this kind of wine.
"You can rest assured, the consumption level of our Datang people will be higher and higher, not afraid that you will mark a high price, I am afraid that your price will not be high enough, this year's new wine has made some progress, but in my opinion it is not a good wine, I want to drink good wine, it seems that I have to wait a few years, wine and fast food are a lot of needs in our army, you go back to Wang Chengyin to hand over well, August and September Tianhai is prone to typhoons, you don't go back for the time being, the business opportunities in the land of Jiaozhi are huge, you have to take people to comprehensively scrape again, it is very important to seize the opportunity, see the tusks of those elephants, There will be a few in the homes of the farmers here, and the value of this thing in the Central Plains is definitely more than jade, so try to collect as much as possible! And the elephant itself is a strange beast that the Central Plains people have never seen, you can bring a few beautiful ones to the palace, just say that it is a gift from me to Lizhi. β
Yang Lin found some representative things and clicked on Wang Erniu, in fact, there is already a professional team of businessmen around Wang Erniu today who is giving advice to him, most things he only needs to sign his name, or press a handprint, and the people below will do it very well, who would have thought that more than four years ago he was just a lovely mountain man in Wangjia Village.
After getting Yang Lin's explanation, Wang Erniu did not retreat immediately, but was a little embarrassed to take out a bag with the smell of his sweat from his arms, which had been on him for several months, and now he finally helped his sister-in-law fulfill his wish.
Yang Lin was a little puzzled and picked up the thread of the bag, he couldn't think of anything Wang Erniu still needed to play this kind of mystery with him, so he picked the thread This kung fu, Wang Erniu intentionally or unintentionally said Li Er's recent situation, in his opinion, Li Er's body may be something that the little fairy will care about.
"You said that Your Majesty was bitten by a Gu worm, and now she is seriously injured and bedridden?" Yang Lin's eyes were full of doubts, but when his eyes saw the letters in the bag, he had no doubts, he still had to come, the royal people all had restless genes in their blood, Li Er was like this, his sons were like this, and even the old Li Yuan was like this, Li Yuan, who had been imprisoned in the palace for five years, finally saw an opportunity to regain power from the new one, and that opportunity required Yang Lin's cooperation.
It turns out that this old guy has not given up, the people who hug Li Chengqian's stinky feet in Chang'an are not only the seven clans and five surnames, but also the hidden forces of the former dynasty, they are loyal to Li Yuan, and the way they want to use is to use Li Chengqian to create Li Er's rebellion, and then launch a surprise attack on Li Er's father and son at a critical moment, one of the main people who launched the attack is Yanglin, after the matter is completed, the king of the south, and all the lands in southern Xinjiang belong to Yanglin's interests. It seems to be very feasible, but in fact, it doesn't make sense.
The first time Li Yuan met Yang Lin in private was on the way back to Chang'an from Wangjia Village, at that time there were some embarrassing scenes Yang Lin still remembers, the reason why he instinctively made Yang Lin feel this way is that Li Yuan has a plan for Yang Lin, but unfortunately he doesn't know that Yang Lin has read the history books of later generations, Li Yuan's old state is too different from the description of the history books, and even several princes should have been killed by Li Yuan at this time, due to the change of history, there is no more, nothing else, Li Yuan's body is still okay to pamper a few women now, after all, he is only in his fifties, and Li Ke may be Li Yuan's successor after a hundred years, I don't know what Li Yuan said to Li Ke.
From the moment he read the letter, Yang Lin's mood was very bad, Wang Erniu looked at Yang Lin's expression, and sweated for his sister-in-law, according to his estimate, Wang Erxuan is probably no show, and he who has not read the letter knows that the secret letter in this bag has nothing to do with Wang Erxuan.
Yang Lin took out the lighter that was about to run out of gas from his pocket, and directly burned the letter with the tips, if this letter was known by Li Er, Chang'an still doesn't know how many people will die, the last thing Yang Lin wants to see is because of the royal affairs, and the scourge to the people, Li Chengqian has only been in charge of the country for less than two years, and his ambitions have been out of control, Yang Lin feels that it is necessary to establish a force to restrain the power of the emperor, five hundred escorts are far from enough, since Wang Erxuan, this girl can repair the wild people on the market in Chang'an, It's no problem to do a job of intelligence eyeline, in the top ten factories in the east and west, especially the management team, there must be people who are completely loyal to themselves, as for the armed forces, there are gods and people plus the escort team to build a foundation, plus the diehard loyalty of the art troupe, as long as you can return to Xiaobailou to do more research, maybe it is not difficult to equip a force that can turn things around in any crisis moment.
In history, Li Erping extinguished Li Chengqian's rebellion and did not kill him, but he was just demoted to a duke, but thousands of people died in that rebellion, who will pay for those people? Yang Lin can't sit back and watch the emperor take the lives of the people as a bargaining chip in the power game within their family, the more they fight, the more innocent people die, Li Er has now set up the game and started to play this game, then Yang Lin's preparations must also be made, even if it is Li Er, when he violates the moral law in Yang Lin's heart, he should also be taught a lesson.
