"Apparently I'm teasing him, why is he happier than me now?"

The empress felt that she had a toothache and was a little depressed, but when she thought that Lin Zifan had taken over this task, which seemed to her to be almost impossible, she sighed......

With the wisdom of the empress, it is natural to see what kind of point the current Datang has reached, and it is not an exaggeration to call it stormy.

At this time, in the face of the food shortage crisis, the empress was stunned to find that she had no one to use except Lin Zifan......

"It's good to have him, otherwise ......"

The empress smiled bitterly, looked at Lin Zifan's departing back, and fell into deep thought.

Although Lin Zifan took on an almost impossible task, the empress would not ignore everything and wait for everything to be fine.

She...... Again, from your own point of view, try to make some arrangements.

......

"So, what needs to be done now is three things......

On the way back to the logistics mansion, Lin Zifan frowned slightly, thinking about the next many matters.

Although in the empress's view, the only problem at present is the lack of food, but on Lin Zifan's side, he believes that there are at least three major problems that need to be solved.

"There is a shortage of food, needless to say, but in addition to this, we also have to guard against border chaos. In addition, it is to find out who is behind the scenes......"

"Once you can't provide enough food and grass on time, the border will inevitably change, even if the Tang soldiers don't retreat, it is impossible to hold it for long, unless, there is enough gunpowder, or grenades and other weapons of war!"

"And the mastermind behind the scenes, he must not be allowed to continue to do things, this time's rootless poison can be called a desperate plan, if she continues to do it, I don't know how big a mess it will be!"

"Even, not only to find the mastermind behind the scenes, but also to give her a big gift! Otherwise, there will be two ...... if there is one."

"After all, there is only a thousand days to be a thief, there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days, and passive defense has never been my style!"

"It's a pity that the mastermind behind this is only known to the Ten Thousand Poison Gate, but the Ten Thousand Poison Gate is no longer in the territory of Datang, and even the country where it is located does not border Datang, so it is impossible to send troops to suppress it, and if it is to send a master...... Unless the empress does it herself, ......"

If the empress is allowed to go to the Ten Thousand Poisons Gate to make trouble, according to the empress's words, there should be no big problem, but Lin Zifan is unwilling to let the empress take risks......

"That's it, let's talk about this later, let's think about how to solve the food shortage crisis as much as possible......

Thinking of this, Lin Zifan had a headache.

Although Fang Cai showed great confidence in front of the empress, where is it so easy to solve the rations of tens of millions of people for most of the winter?

If it is spring and summer at this moment, Lin Zifan can take people to the deep mountains and old forests, but look for some crops that are suitable for planting and have great yields, so that people can plant them on a large scale, so as to solve the problem of food shortage.

But now that the frost has fallen, it's too late!

As for the wild crops, no one grows them, they never form a scale, and even if they do, there are not many of them......

"But at this moment, we don't have a choice, even if we don't have much, we have to find out......"

"Find some suitable wild food to eat, and at the same time, leave some as seeds to plant after the beginning of spring......"

In Lin Zifan's view, there have always been problems with Datang's diet, especially in terms of staple food.

This thing, if the climate is right, can indeed be stored for a long time, but when it comes to the current situation, it can be a big problem!

As for physical health or something...... Fortunately, the people of Datang are strong and strong, so they don't have to worry about those miscellaneous problems, otherwise, just unbalanced nutrition is enough to make many people suffer from all kinds of strange diseases......

But even so, Lin Zifan also felt that it was necessary to improve Datang's eating habits.

At the very least, the staple food should be replaced with something inside the rice and noodles!

"By the way, it's pumpkin, winter melon and sweet potato, you can also find out and have a variety of ......."

These three crops all have the same characteristics, and the yield is huge!

Especially pumpkins and winter melons, not only have a large yield, long storage time, do not pick the ground, and even do not care after planting, as long as the environment is not too bad, after a few months, it will naturally produce a lot of pumpkins and winter melons, which can be eaten for a long time!

As for sweet potatoes, this thing is a little more troublesome to grow, and eating too much will make people panic, and it will also be accompanied by the side effect of 'stinky fart'......

But the yield is not low and cannot be ignored.

"Unfortunately, the only thing that can be found is that the seeds of these crops can be found, and it is time to consider solutions to the urgent needs......"

Lin Zifan wrote down many of his thoughts, frowned, and began to think about how to solve the current food shortage crisis......

......

Early in the morning, above the court.

The civil and military officials looked a little listless, in the past few days, they have been in the dust, rushed to various places to detoxify, and began to organize people to carry out the autumn harvest non-stop, until now, it is only a short time after rushing back to Chang'an......

"Your Majesty......"

Without waiting for the empress to ask, Li Shangshu was the first to jump out: "Affected by the poison of no roots, the autumn harvest in various places has been greatly affected, and the harvest of fragrant beans this year is less than half of that of previous years, this matter ...... It needs to be solved as soon as possible, I hope Your Majesty will have an idea. ”

"What?"

"Not even half?"

"How is this enough? No, absolutely not!"

"How can it be so little......? So how will you survive this winter?"

The ministers were stunned for a moment, the Tang Dynasty was already short of food, especially in winter, when it was not easy to hunt, fragrant beans were the main food, and many times, at the end of winter, the mountain people only ate one meal a day, and at other times they could only starve.

Isn't that even if you eat only one meal a day, you won't survive this winter?

"It's more than that......"

Bingbu Shangshu jumped out, his expression extremely solemn.

"The Zhenbei Army has sent back news that Chen and Wu Erguo have begun to accumulate troops on the border, and Dayuan is also ready to move, although it has not yet officially attacked, but that day, it will definitely not be too far ......away."

"Already stationed troops?"

"Special mother, we don't have enough food, how can we fight this?"

"I heard that the food loss in the north is the greatest, but I'm afraid it won't last for half a month!"

The ministers suddenly panicked, and General Huo Da's expression turned pale.

"If General Ben guessed correctly, they would definitely not attack in the short term! At least, they will not attack until we run out of food!"

"Even, they will wait until our soldiers are hungry and weak before launching a fierce attack!"

"This plan is very poisonous!"
