Chapter 355: The Beginning of the War
When Li Er heard this, he still felt that it was inappropriate, and said: "There is so much grain, it can't be brewed, and there will be a harvest of grain next year. ”
Eldest Sun Chong shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, what you said is that winemaking is only one of the methods, and I will improve the process of winemaking, so that it can not only speed up winemaking, but also increase production." In the name of the government, the price was relatively raised, grain was purchased, and sake was made. ”
Li Er listened, nodded and said, "It's better than no way, I'll give an order now, let people buy grain." As for the grain from the big families, we can directly sell the method of brewing wine to them, so that we can also get a lot of money and reduce the pressure on the government. What's the other way? ”
Hearing this, the eldest grandson Chong said, "Hehe, that is, we can sell grain to the surrounding feudal states. Some nomads, do not grow grain at all, we can exchange grain for their wool, prey. ”
"Yes, that's good. But the road is far away, and the consumption on the road is too great. In fact, now that there is more grain, is it possible to reduce grain production? Then promote some other crops, so that the people can sell them for more money. Li Er thought about it and said, for the sake of the people's lives and being able to live a better life, he has thought of a lot of ways.
The eldest grandson Chong listened and said, "That's right. For example, cotton, vegetables, soybeans and other crops, to sum up. The variety is richer, so that it can meet the needs of the people. ”
The eldest grandson Chong took the order, found a few people, and began to brew high-level wine.
As a result, only one or two big families are willing to buy the method of making wine, and most of them choose to sell the grain.
The eldest grandson Chong changed his face, as long as he thought of a way again. However, Changsun Chong later did feel that winemaking could only solve part of the problem, and it couldn't solve so much grain at all, so Li Er really said it.
The eldest grandson Chong directly approached Li Er and said, "Your Majesty, let's postpone the purchase of this grain, and we will guide the people to plant cotton, mulberry trees, silkworms and other crops next year." Now there is no war, so much food can only be stored at home. ”
Li Er had already written the holy decree, but he didn't issue it, and he hesitated, for fear that the imperial court would not be able to clean up the mess at that time. It's better not to do it in the first place. After all, it is much better to have more food than no food.
"Well, what you're saying is that we take it for granted." Li Er said with emotion, "Cotton grown in the north. This year is another bumper harvest, the Hexi Corridor. It's even better. ”
The eldest grandson Chong echoed and said, "Yes." The whole country is in a good place. We should save up more food and grass, and maybe when there will be a war. ”
When Li Er heard this, he immediately understood and asked, "Now that we have seventy-eight sea ships, can we capture the Wa Kingdom now?" ”
Changsun Chong thought for a while and said, "The ships of the Wa Kingdom are not comparable to our big ships at all. And we now have tens of thousands of navies, and when the time is ripe, we will capture the Japanese state. ”
"Then did you say the time was ripe?" Li Er was very interested in this.
"We're ready, but there's no justification right now." Eldest Sun Chong said with a bitter face. A few years ago, the Japanese were slaughtering villages, but at that time they were not able to attack. Now that the old thing is brought up again, it is always a little lacking in confidence.
Li Er's eyes glared and said: "Why is there no valid reason, have you forgotten that the Japanese Kingdom once slaughtered the village, and there were dozens or hundreds of our helpless people?" ”
"Of course I didn't forget! But we rushed and went very risky. After all, there are millions of people in the Japanese country now, and we only have tens of thousands of people, so it is estimated that we will not be able to take it! Changsun Chong said worriedly, it stands to reason that he, as a modern person, should be the most daring.
But in front of Li Er, he felt that he was too timid. After all, I have been comfortable for two years now, the treasury is abundant, and if I don't do something, I'm sorry for the hard work of the people of Datang! It is just the right time to take the opportunity to consume a lot of grain and take the opportunity to raise the price of grain.
"Earlier, I said that the Wa Kingdom is the place where my Tang Dynasty must conquer, and now that I am ready, I must start attacking. Looking ahead, what can be accomplished. Li Er said in a deep voice, looking at the large map on the wall.
The map of the Wa Kingdom has been enlarged a lot, and Dai Zhicheng brought over the detailed defense and the main cities of the Wa State.
"Then since Your Majesty has decided, let's talk to the old generals, how should we act?" Changsun Chong decided that it should be time, there are artillery gunpowder, millions of elite soldiers, and they can't defeat the Japanese country, which is really bad.
"I also think so, now the western Turks, Tuyuhun has become my territory of the Tang Dynasty, Tubo has only recently made peace with the Tang Dynasty, and there is no chaos in the west for the time being. Goguryeo has been very honest there lately, so I don't care about it for the time being. Now we happen to have the money to deal with the Wa Kingdom. Li Er said with emotion.
"Looking at this cross-sea operation, information transmission is very important, it seems that we have to think of a way, otherwise Chang'an will not be able to receive the battle situation on the front line in time." Changsun Chong said and suggested, although the general can have the right to command, but many things also need to be decided by the imperial court, this time back and forth, sending a letter, it is not such a simple thing as six hundred miles to expedit, and it is not so simple to send a letter across the sea.
Li Er's eyes lit up and said, "Then Chong'er, you can get a few more communicators, so that we can get in touch at any time?" ”
The eldest grandson Chong thought for a while and said, "I'll try my best to get a few more!" ”
"Well, so great!" Li Er was in a happy mood and couldn't wait for Li Jing, Li Ji, Cheng Biting Jin, Niu Jinda, Qin Qiong, Eldest Sun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others to enter the palace.
The eldest grandson Chong looked at the sky outside and said, "Your Majesty, you see that it is about to get dark, and the elders are tired for a day, so why don't we talk about it tomorrow." This will not happen overnight, but it is necessary to study tactics and strategies according to the right time, place, and people. ”
Li Er listened, and said, "That's what you said, you go back today and get me more communicators." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The eldest grandson should respond, Hua Wu should still have it.
The eldest grandson Chong came back from the palace, his blood was boiling, and he was about to go to war. I felt like I was playing a game, but I was excited to be able to participate in the extermination of Japanese people.
Back at home, the eldest grandson Chong chose to sleep in the study so that he could easily contact Hua Wu.
After washing up at night, Changsun Chong lay down on the bed and chatted with Hua Wu with brain waves.
"Brother Hua, how are you?" The eldest grandson said with a grin.
Hua Wu happened to be inspecting all kinds of machines, and when he heard the words of the eldest grandson, he replied: "Nothing to do, either a traitor or a thief!" ”
After hearing this, the eldest grandson said, "I just want to ask if you have any high-end watches and communicators in the apocalyptic space?" ”
Hua Wu replied: "Yes, yes, but not much, how many do you want?"
When the eldest grandson heard this, there was a door, and he said, "Ten! ”
"Nope!" Hua Wu saw that as soon as the eldest grandson Chong opened his mouth, he asked for ten, but he didn't have the courage to refuse.
Hearing this, the eldest grandson said, "Are those six okay?" ”
Hua Wu replied: "There are only five, do you want it?" ”
The eldest grandson Chong said again and again: "Five is five, I am not too little." Why are there only five, can't you produce them? ”
"For this kind of thing, we don't need it, of course we don't need to do so much, it's enough." Hua Wu replied, "And it takes time to make these things." ”
"Oh, five is about the same." The eldest grandson muttered, "What other good things can be used when conquering the Wa Kingdom?" ”
Hua Wu was interested and said, "Do you really want to attack the Wa Kingdom? ”
"Of course, it has been prepared for so many years, and now that the manpower and material resources are available, of course we have to carry out the consultation." Changsun Chong said slowly, "Anyway, I also want to go and see what the Wa Kingdom was like during the Tang Dynasty?" ”
"Hey, you're a little crazy, but it's exciting. Are you going too? Hua Wu said with a smile, he admired Changsun Chong more and more.
Hearing this, the eldest grandson Chong smiled and said, "Of course, of course I'm going to take a look." There are many volcanoes in Wakoku, so I'm going to get some hot spring bubble baths. ”
"Hehe, I'm afraid you won't dare to take a bath then." Hua Wu teased, "When I was taking a bath, the volcano erupted, and in a hurry, I couldn't even find a towel, and ran out with my bare buttocks." ”
The eldest grandson was embarrassed, Hua Wu actually said such a thing, it was really surprising.
"What's the matter, I can't joke?" Hua Wu asked rhetorically, "You're too serious, aren't you?" ”
"Just thinking that you are serious, you will actually joke." Eldest Sun Chong was surprised, "Smile more in the future, otherwise you will grow old quickly." ”
"If you laugh too much, you'll get wrinkles." Hua Wu said angrily, "It's you, but you must make a battle plan well, and you must not forget the factor of the season." ”
"Thank you for the reminder, I'll notice this." Changsun Chong thanked and said, after all, if you want to fight across the sea, there are great variables, and you must be fully prepared.
"Think more about things and be careful in everything." Hua Wu advised, "After all, the current navigation technology is backward. ”
Eldest Sun Chong nodded and said, "What Fifth Brother Hua said is true. ”
"By the way, when will you want that watch, the communicator?" Hua Wu asked.
"Give it to me now, wait for it. When I went to Japan this time, I also wanted to dig up some ancient Japanese cultural relics and bring them to the modern day, so that I could make a lot of money from the Japanese country. The eldest grandson laughed.
"Hehe, that's good, if there is a good one, you can also trade with the apocalyptic space." Hua Wu is interested, and nothing new has come in the apocalyptic space for a long time.
"What's the use of you asking for this, I'll get it back and make those widows get money. You must know that over the years, they have made a lot of money in Huaxia, and I will find some interest. What's more, they robbed so many good things in Huaxia back then, and I was just retaliating with a tooth for a tooth. ”
"Whatever you want." Hua Wu said, "When the time comes, maybe you will ask us (to be continued......
