Outside the window, on a snowy and icy day, Li Chen took a glass of milk in his hand, which was so hot that yak milk was hot, and he was looking at the scenery outside the window. After www.biquge.info autumn, a heavy snowfall came quickly and quickly, and soon dyed Chang'an white.

Although he is the Son of Heaven, he is not arrogant, he can change the weather, and he is not Wu Zetian, who orders the world to bloom.

However, to say that, a hundred flowers are blooming, and the Ministry of Agriculture is studying it. It's not that he has a nerve and a will, and the world will not dare to disobey, but he asked the Ministry of Agriculture to study all kinds of out-of-season vegetables.

In order for plants to bloom and bear fruit, it is nothing more than temperature, moisture, and sunlight, etc., and they do not have watches and calendars to accurately time. Li Chen asked the Ministry of Agriculture to study all kinds of out-of-season vegetables and let the flowers bloom, which is just one of the projects.

The Ministry of Agriculture is not embarrassed, after all, there was a precedent of out-of-season vegetables in the Tang Dynasty. If there is a precedent, why bother? It will be researched because of the relationship between different technologies, and the production is too small, which is not enough to use.

In later generations, off-season vegetables were planted in greenhouses. Li Chen also asked them to do this. So how did the Tang Dynasty originally grow out-of-season vegetables? Remember the hot spring water wash gelatinous Huaqing Palace. There are hot springs in Huaqing Palace, and the hot springs are used to grow out-of-season vegetables. Watering vegetables in hot springs allows them to grow in winter.

Since it is such a technology, it is conceivable that not only is the production small, but also cannot be promoted. Of course, Li Chen couldn't take a fancy to it. However, there is a precedent, so that the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture have more or less laws to follow, and it is not impossible to know that vegetables and flowers are out of season.

Growing out-of-season vegetables is not only for farmers to make money in winter and for the people to be happy, but also for the progress of science and agricultural technology. What can be promoted, Li Chen is hard to say, but there will always be gains. The development of science is like this, without accumulating steps, it is impossible to reach thousands of miles.

If there is still a precedent to follow in the study of off-season vegetables, raising yaks really makes the Ministry of Agriculture very troubled. This kind of cattle living on the plateau has never been raised by anyone in Datang. Fortunately, in recent years, there have been endless wars in Tibet, and there have been Tubo tribes who have defected to the Tang Dynasty.

On the one hand, Li Chen recruited Tubo people as soldiers and strictly trained them with the Tang Dynasty military law, and many tribes were recruited by the Ministry of Agriculture to raise yaks. Li Chen is also in the Daming Palace and has a few heads.

Needless to say, the purpose of raising this kind of cattle is of course for the Tibetan strategy. The current situation in Tubo is not good, of course, it is good for Datang.

"On the fear of heat?" "Come back to the saints, it's almost there." "Oh, good hospitality." , Thinking of yaks, thinking of Tubo and thinking of fear of heat, Li Chen asked the Ministry of Rites to be hospitable, but that tone sounded colder than the ice and snow outside the house.

After the Tang Dynasty recovered Longxi, Shang Wanwen did not dare to flee back to Tubo, and was captured alive some time ago. Since returning from the Shence Army, Zhang Yichao has been recuperating for several years, and first recovered the four towns of Anxi that were occupied by Shang Wanwen. A few years ago, it recovered the last city of the Tang Dynasty that fell to Tibet, Kuozhou. Captured alive on the fear of heat.

It's funny, Li Chen wants to say that if he is about fear of heat, he will commit suicide before being captured alive. The funny thing is that I don't understand the situation when it comes to heat phobia, and I still want to beg for mercy.

After being arrested, he told Zhang Yichao that he was the prime minister of Tubo and could not kill him, and it seemed that he was planning to ask the Tang Dynasty for the name of a Tubo Festival envoy, and borrow troops from the Tang Dynasty to return to Tubo to claim hegemony. It is very nice to say, saying that the Tang Dynasty and Tubo will always be the state of in-laws. I also want to ask for a marriage like Li Chen, ask for a Tang princess as a wife, and if I don't have Li Chen's biological daughter, I can ask for a clan.

He still hasn't realized that Datang is different from before, and he thinks that Datang is the same as before, if he is soft and says a good word, he can get benefits, and he is full of empty words.

Zhang Yichao pressed the people back and let Li Chen fall. is treated well, not that Li Chen agreed to his request, but just let him dream more. Dreams are the most beautiful, and hope accompanies them.

It's just that before Ling Chi was executed, his hopes were dashed, that kind of great contrast... Thinking of this bastard ball with Han blood on his hands, the moment before he died, before he pressed the law field, he thought that Li Chen would promise him that he would sit on the Tubo King and have a sweet dream, and then the next moment he was pressed into the law field, and Ling Chi was executed for three days, Li Chen was very happy.

Ling Chi's execution is a skillful work, and it is easy to kill people, and a three-year-old baby can do it. But in order to save the situation and save his life, it is not easy to kill slowly. I have to say that although the punishment in ancient times was cruel, and Li Chen wanted to establish a modern legal society, this kind of punishment was still very pleasant.

Just kidding, after killing so many Han people, you still want to go back to be the king of Tubo? I won't let you pay the price, I'll be in vain. Even if he didn't have Han blood on his hands, he wouldn't kiss him, and a woolen thread, not to mention his own daughter, even a clan woman couldn't be.

And pro useful? Since ancient times, how many times has China been close to each other, and how many have really exchanged for long-term peace and stability? And how can there be a fist to be powerful. If you want to be close, you can also, he can reluctantly marry a Tubo man, be so beautiful as a Tubo princess, and barely serve as a Tubo king.

Hehe, that's a heartfelt statement. In fact, he has been looking forward to Tibet for a long time. Frankly speaking, if it weren't for the prosperity of Tibet, Datang might not be in this situation.

There were almost no strong enemies in the north of the Tang Dynasty, and after the defeat of the Turks, although there was a rebellion in the north, its severity was not enough to harm the safety of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, after Anshi, it was not impossible for Datang to exterminate the three towns of Hebei in one go, but it was because of the chaos in Tubo that Datang formed such a tragic situation.

Just because of the grievances between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty, Li Chen did not intend to let go of Tubo. Although he guessed, Tubo was probably in a state of collapse. He didn't know the history of Tibet, but he knew that since the Song Dynasty, Tibet had not exerted any influence, and it seemed that even the Song Dynasty could bully Tibet, proving that Tibet could not stand up.

But after he came, history has changed beyond recognition, and God knows whether Tubo will rise again one day under the instigation of his butterfly. Therefore, it is advisable to chase the poor bravely, and not to sell fame and reputation as a learning overlord.

What's more, the geographical situation of Tibet also determined that he could not let go of Tibet. The geographical location of Tibet was very important, and it was the key to maintaining the hegemony of Shuzhong and Longxi, as well as further Central Asia. Even if you ignore these, Tubo is too close to Chang'an, and the side of the bed will not allow others to sleep soundly. Even, Li Chen has greater ambitions. His goal is Tianzhu.

It's a fat place. Gold, precious stones, all kinds of resources, all made him drool, and more importantly, those slaves who were docile and tamed and would not resist were easy to rule.

The cost of Tianzhude's rule is very low, and it seems that since ancient times, there has never been a dynasty that has been overthrown, and it is all weak and captured by foreign enemies. Such a fat piece of meat, and next to Datang, how can it be reasonable.

In addition, now that Tianzhu is in chaos, the Polo Dynasty in the north is weak, and the south is a number of strong people standing side by side, and they don't touch their hands, so I'm sorry for myself and the many people who cross over. It's just that to capture Tianzhu is a bit difficult for Datang today.

Although Tianzhu is very easy to bully, with the combat power of the Tang army, it can easily capture Tianzhu, but it is a problem. What to do with troop transport?

Although it may be easy to expect, Li Chen does not dare to be careless, Lion Botu must also go all out, he must be fully prepared, God knows what will happen, especially in the era of hot weapons, backup is even more important. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty can spill blood in foreign lands. However, there can be no fighting, not ready for war.

Although it is also possible to use the sea, first occupy a city by the sea, slowly increase troops, and transport supplies. However, it is better to have a plan. Li Chen planned to occupy Tibet first and open a passage. Then land and sea go hand in hand. Although it is also very inconvenient to go through Tibet, there is always a way.

Anyway, Tibet must be occupied. Li Chen is just looking for a way that can be more stable. Moreover, after the occupation of Tibet, there is also a condescending advantage, which can be counted in one fell swoop.

"Hate corrupt officials." Today is the first time Li Chen has gone to the court after his recovery, and the first meeting with the prime minister after retiring from the court, but Li Chen is holding yak milk and is in a daze. Occasionally, I said a few simple words, and the back and forth jumps are still very big, which is really confusing.

Several prime ministers looked at each other silently, shook their heads slightly, and the atmosphere in the conference room continued to be silent. Li Chen remembered that he should have done it a long time ago and started to clean up Tibet, but he was stumped by a series of changes in the Tang Dynasty, and coupled with the major events that happened before, it was so serious that he stole and sold the draft grain, which made him have no time to take care of it.

On the one hand, he is not in a hurry, and the civil war in Tibet has not yet ended. On the one hand, Datang has firmly controlled the vital points, and Tubo has been blocked. It is impossible to harm Datang, so he is not in a hurry at all.

Stone Mountain. There is a stone castle city in Jishi Mountain, which is an important place for the Tang Dynasty and Tubo to compete for. Now it has fallen into the hands of Datang.

Shibao City is the name of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tubo people call it the Iron Blade City. Its location is at the foot of the Sun Moon Mountain in the east of Qinghai Lake, and the southwest of Xining City, Qinghai in later generations. The terrain here is dangerous and critical.

Between Qinghai Lake and Shibao City, separated by the north-south direction of Chiling, Shibao City guards the Chiling natural risk, directly in front of the Huangshui Basin, Tang Shanzhou, northeast of Tang Ganzhou, Liangzhou, southeast of the Yellow River Jiuqu, after the Yellow River Jiuqu, a little farther is the Tang Weizhou.

Sun Moon Mountain, the gateway between the two countries, has three mountain passes: upper, middle and lower. Shangshankou is the gateway to the southwest of Qinghai Lake, and there is an important post road from the front line of Tubo to the capital; Zhongshankou, to the grassland by Qinghai Lake, the water is abundant and the grass is fertile, which is the fertile grassland for raising military horses in Tibet; Go down the mountain pass, turn over the watershed and go south to the Tang Jishi Mountain. Ahead is the fertile meandering land of the Tang Dynasty, and these three mountain passes all converge in Shibao City.

For Datang, starting from Shibao City, and then with the cooperation of the four towns of Anxi, attacking Tubo from this is the best direction of attack.

Otherwise, you have to go from Shuzhong. Not to mention that when Nanzhao rebelled and obeyed, would it be possible to fight on both sides of Tubo and Nanzhao, but in this direction alone, there are high mountains and dangerous obstacles, there are steep mountains and valleys, it is extremely difficult to march, and the grain and grass can hardly be transported. It's not a good direction.

Therefore, Shibao City is very important, whoever masters it will master the key to victory, and if Tubo masters it, he can calmly enter and exit the Western Regions and threaten Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty. If the Tang Dynasty masters it, it can trap Tubo.

Here, since the city was built in the seventeenth year of Kaiyuan, it is a place where soldiers must fight. In the twenty-ninth year of Kaiyuan, the famous Tubo general Molu Harmonic captured the city with wisdom and bloody battles, and controlled it for several years. It wasn't until the eighth year of Tianbao that it was there

Only under the bloody battle of the famous general Ge Shuhan recaptured this place.

During this period, Datang squeezed and sank the sand here several times, with tens of thousands of casualties. It's not a joke, just in the eighth year of Tianbao, Ge Shuhan mobilized the Tang Dynasty and various tribes to join forces, 100,000. The siege lasted for ten days, with more than 10,000 dead and wounded.

The Tibetan defenders, not even more than a thousand, killed and wounded a large number of Tang troops. In the end, Ge Shuhan almost sacrificed the military law, to behead the two generals, and finally gave him three days to finally conquer it.

Now this fortified city has returned to the hands of the Tang people. Zhang Yichao fired a few cannons, and then blasted open the stone fort city, and the defenders surrendered. It makes people sigh at the power of technology.

In order to defend this place and not recapture Tubo, Li Chen built many checkpoints here, the one in front was lost, and there was also in the back. Anyway, now that there is cement, it is very convenient to build and take into account the defense.

In addition to the checkpoints, he sent a purely Don army to defend. Although I feel that Victoria City has fallen, the Tubo people have spent more than ten or twenty years arranging the women's room, this kind of thing is very, but it has to be guarded against.

will suddenly talk about corrupt officials, this is because, if it weren't for the draft of stealing and selling grain, which involved a series of reforms in the Tang Dynasty, maybe he would have done it a long time ago, but it's not too late now, anyway, the Tubo people are still fighting very lively, and it's best for them to kill themselves and save him from doing it.

"No arguments." , Li Chen finished scolding the corrupt officials, was silent for a while, and said something earth-shattering, which stunned many prime ministers, who were responsible for recording the bachelor of Hanlin and spilled all the coffee he was drinking just now. Fortunately, he is also well-trained.

The Hallym Scholar is in charge of the minutes, which is an honor that is not available to everyone, and it also symbolizes his bright future. This generation of note-takers has also learned some bitter lessons, for example, the content of the meeting must not be leaked under any circumstances.

This is only an explicit rule, some painful unspoken rules, such as drinking water, you must turn your head, so as not to wet the meeting minutes. The regulations were set before Li Chen's restructuring, and the unspoken rule is that generation after generation of Hanlin bachelors should use personal experience to teach younger generations not to make these unspecified mistakes.

As soon as he drank a cup of coffee to refresh himself, Li Chen said something shocking, almost causing him to make a serious mistake. Although there is not much recorded today, this new Hanlin bachelor is still very grateful to his predecessors for their guidance.

Seeing that the prime minister was still arguing, Li Chen said the sentence, "There is no argument about using the prince to supervise the country." After that, get up and leave the table, the delegates' deliberations are over, and the next thing to do in the political hall is to implement it. The prime minister was helpless, so he was waiting for them here.
