Chapter 578: Tang Chang'an (Medium)

If it weren't for the fact that there were so many people here, Li Shimin really wanted to roll his eyes, don't you have no points for who you are? Do you say you don't have to welcome me to really not welcome me?

But at this point, he couldn't say anything, especially Huo Gang had directly used the etiquette of his juniors, so it was impossible for him to salute in reverse.

However, Fang Xuanling, who was beside Li Shimin, was all human spirits, and they reflected it as soon as possible, Fang Xuanling and they directly took the lead and bowed down and said: "Weichen Fang Xuanling, eldest grandson Wuji, Du Ruhui...... I have seen the leader of the big Han Huo Gang. ”

"No courtesy." Huo Gang waved his hand, they naturally wanted to salute Huo Gang.

After they saluted, the ambassador to Datang next to him came over and bowed to Huo Gang and said, "Ambassador Liu Yebo to Datang has seen the leader. ”

"Well, excuse me, how's that? Is Datang still used to it? Huo Gang asked with a smile, this is his own person, he is naturally more casual.

"Look back at the leader's words, get used to it." Liu Yebo smiled and said.

"Your Majesty, shall we go?" Huo Gang looked back at Li Shimin and asked with a smile.

"Leader Huo, please." Fang Xuanling next to him took over the conversation, Fang Xuanling is temporarily in charge of the Ministry of Rites, so there is no problem with him answering the call, at this time Li Shimin is not very good at talking, if he is called a virtuous son-in-law, it is not very good, but if he is called Huo Chief, then Huo Gang said that he came privately, so it is best for him to answer.

"Please." Huo Gang smiled and nodded, "By the way, my things are all in the car, and some things may be more troublesome to load and unload, if you want to enter the city in a while, I guess you will have to arrange it, Your Majesty." ”

"Li Jing." Li Shimin turned around and spoke.

"The minister is here."

"You heard it, you stay, and follow Leader Huo's guards to escort things into the city."

"Yes."

After the explanation, Huo Gang and the others all got into the carriage.

When he came this time, Huo Gang didn't bring a carriage, but although he didn't bring a carriage, Li Shimin must have prepared a carriage, and it was a very large carriage, a carriage pulled by sixteen horses, which can be said to be a small house.

The rules of Datang are actually not so strict, and Huo Gang's identity is different from ordinary people, so he naturally sat in the same carriage with Li Shimin, and Li Lizhen naturally went up with him.

There was also Chang Lin serving on the side of the carriage, but Chang Lin just knelt in one of the corners, as an invisible person.

The carriage of the carriage is very large, and a low table can be placed in the middle, with special cushions on both sides.

And Huo Gang was much more casual, he sat cross-legged on one of the cushions directly, and said very casually: "Father-in-law, I am at will, I can't sit in this way of sitting." ”

Li Lizhi next to her snickered, but she didn't say anything, she was the same as Li Shimin, and she was also the kneeling way of Datang.

Li Shimin glared at him, looking at Huo Gang's casual way, I don't know why he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed in his heart, as if he had figured out something, a smile suddenly appeared on Li Shimin's face, and after laughing, he said angrily: "You stinky boy, aren't you just making trouble for me?" ”

Seeing Li Shimin's appearance, Huo Gang couldn't help but laugh, and he said lightly: "That's right, I said that you are not very old, and you are not too tired to keep a straight face every day?" As I said, I'm here privately, and those state etiquettes are not necessary, I'm too tired. ”

Li Shimin had a headache, in fact, he couldn't help laughing just now, it was also because he suddenly found that he felt relaxed in his heart, and he suddenly figured out why Huo Gang had this attitude, and his attitude was obviously what made him Li Shimin relax.

Because if Huo Gang really came over to talk about things as the leader of the Han Dynasty, then he would still have a lot of pressure in his heart, because as an emperor, Li Shimin could feel that the Tang Dynasty was completely inseparable from the Han Dynasty now!

According to the statistics of the Ministry of Households, Dahan delivered more than 500 million kilograms of grain to Datang last year! What is this concept? According to the calculation that one stone of Datang is equal to 60 kilograms of Dahan, this is almost equivalent to 8.3 million stone of grain! What are you kidding, you must know that in the past, the annual tax collection of Datang was only about one-third of this!

Li Shimin never thought that Datang would be so short of grain, of course, the reason why he imported so much grain from Dahan is because the people of Datang now eat fine grain, because the price of grain is very low, and the people of Datang can also consume fine grain at present, so the people have eaten fine grain, and the coarse grain used to fill their stomachs is naturally used to do other things.

For example, winemaking, as the essence of raising pigs, cattle, sheep and horses, etc., of course, one of the more important points is that a considerable number of people before the Tang Dynasty could not eat a full stomach, let alone eat a full stomach with fine grains!

That's why imported food is so soaring! It is not an exaggeration to say that if Huo Gang had an accident in Datang, as long as the food supply was interrupted, Datang would have to collapse in two months at most. It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.

People who are used to this kind of life, if you let them go back to the days when they ate chaff vegetables, it is estimated that many people will rebel in an instant, and it is impossible to say. Even if it does not rebel, it is difficult for Datang to quickly replenish so much grain at present.

Because at present, many people in Datang have chosen not to grow grain, because there is no income from growing grain, it is better to grow a lot of economic crops, such as rapeseed oil for oil extraction, etc., Dahan's eating habits have also had a strong impact on Datang. It can be said that the practice of stir-frying this kind of food quickly became popular throughout the Tang Dynasty after the people had economic conditions.

And these effects seem to have little impact, but in fact the impact is actually very large, not to mention anything else, all the people of the entire Han Dynasty eat fine grains, and all eat oil, even if it is rapeseed oil and other vegetable oils, but these raw materials are to be planted and produced.

And the land before the Tang Dynasty was not even enough to eat basic grain, not to mention that now there is a huge amount of land to grow these rapeseed, soybeans and other raw materials used to extract oil? Then the land is even more difficult to grow food.

And the current situation is that because the people of the entire Tang Dynasty are rich, and the price of grain imported by the Han Dynasty can be said to be extremely low, such a low grain price, coupled with a huge market for edible oil, the people only need to plant oil crops on the land, and the crops harvested every year are used to buy grain...... The harvest of one acre of land is enough to buy grain from four or five acres of land, and it is still fine grain.

Who do you say will grow the food? It is also because grain can be bought casually that the people have a life pursuit, so they have more demand for edible oil, and the market is bigger. The entire Datang is currently in such a state, not only the people, but also many gate valve families have a large amount of land used to grow soybeans and other oil crops.

It seems that the entire Datang is incomparably prosperous, and even the people have surplus grain to raise poultry and other states that can occasionally eat a meal of meat, but this state is based on the fact that the Han Dynasty continues to import grain, if this state is interrupted.

Even if Datang has officially purchased some grain for storage, it will not last for a year at most, because Datang's current storage technology is not enough to store so much grain on a large scale.

Therefore, once the Han does not continue to import food...... The consequences ...... It's scary.

Li Shimin has only felt this more and more in the past two or three years, but even if he feels the deep strategic issues in this and some of the intentions of the Han Dynasty...... Regardless of whether these intentions were intentional or not, it was impossible for Li Shimin to run to question Huo Gang.

The national strategy is not so easy, Li Shimin knows this matter in his heart, he will not ask Huo Gang, and if he asks, it will be in vain.

From this point of view, Li Shimin is definitely a qualified emperor, he knows very well what questions can be asked, what questions can not be asked, this kind of national strategy, do you think children play home? Just ask?

In fact, just like Li Shimin thought, Huo Gang knew about such a strategy at the beginning of the formulation, but in the follow-up, Huo Gang did not participate. However, the Han government has already added the whole strategy to the continuous calculation, and the audit department has detailed data records every year, and how much grain is imported into Datang every year can perfectly control and destroy the local grain planting industry in Datang.

The same grain input can not be too much at one time, but distributed within a year of continuous input, such a control amount so that Datang has no way to store too much grain in his hands, the same food input method also has an advantage, that is, anything happens, you can interrupt the input at any time.

If all the grain is sold at the beginning of the year, in case something goes wrong later, the other party already has the grain for the whole year this year, and there is room for buffering.

It is no exaggeration to say that the data of Datang's grain production and other data by the Dahan Audit Department and the Ministry of Commerce are estimated to be much more accurate than the data of Datang's household department.

Officially because of this, Li Shimin will only have pressure when Huo Gang comes, although Huo Gang is his son-in-law, but even his own brother can be killed, what is a son-in-law?

So when Huo Gang spoke like this, Li Shimin's heart was subconsciously much more relaxed, and after he reacted, his speech was naturally relaxed.

"Alright, alright, yes, you can't say hello in advance when you come here? Even if you kid still have a conscience, knowing that Lizhi has been with you for so long, and she will come to relax, the question is that you can't say hello in advance before the year? Li Shimin also became casual.

Chang Lin next to him couldn't help but shrink his body...... The main thing is that he has never seen such a Li Shimin, Li Shimin has not exploded foul language, said foul words, when Li Shimin and Cheng Biting Jin and their people were together, sometimes they were more rude than what they said, and they could even be vulgar.

But now Li Shimin is not facing Cheng Yanjin and their muddy people.

"I only remembered it during the Chinese New Year, and I came here when I thought about it, besides, Datang is Liqin's maiden home, what is there to inform me in advance about taking my daughter-in-law back to my parents' house? Wouldn't it be okay to come back directly? We are a family, and there is no need to fix all those things that are false. Huo Gang said lightly.

Huo Gang's words are in this era...... To tell the truth, there are some apostasys, not to mention the royal family, even if it is an ordinary big family, brothers dare not say that there is such harmony, let alone the son-in-law and daughter who are married.

But Huo Gang really thinks so, the soul from the later generations, coupled with his status in the Han Dynasty, makes Huo Gang talk a lot more casually a lot of times, he can say whatever he wants, there is no need to hide it, in the face of absolute power, it is useless to cover up something.

Moreover, Dahan has already embarked on the formalization, and Huo Gang has already laid the framework and foundation for many things, so naturally he doesn't have to care about these. And Dahan and Datang are like this...... There are some differences between the emperor and the ministers.

It's just that although Huo Gang's words were a bit deviant, Li Shimin had a strange feeling when he heard it, he raised his head and glanced at Huo Gang and asked, "Do you really think so?" ”

"Or else? Every time you come back, you will have a whole 10,000-strong guard, pose in various poses, and then clean up Chang'an City, and then build a new palace for me? In that case, I don't think I can come back a few times, I don't want to come back, I'm too tired. Huo Gang shrugged his shoulders and said casually, in fact, he was also telling the truth.

State Etiquette ...... It's really tired, many times Huo Gang is going to die of exhaustion, but he can't show it a little, what should be done still has to be done, but this can be avoided...... Of course he was going to avoid it.

It's just that after he finished speaking, Li Shimin was a little full of black lines, because of what Huo Gang said earlier...... He's already done it, or he's going to do it, especially the one who rebuilt a palace...... Li Shimin didn't think about it, to be precise, he was ready to start building!

That's right, in the history of Daming Palace, Li Shimin was still ready to start construction, and when the Daming Palace was under construction, Li Shimin thought about it and prepared to rebuild a garden for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Han Dynasty outside the Tang Palace.

As a result, as soon as Huo Gang complained like this, he had the urge to hit someone. Emotional Lao Tzu wants to give you a little more pomp, is it wrong?

"By the way, I heard that Her Royal Highness is sick?" Huo Gang changed the subject.

Li Shimin glanced at Huo Gang with some surprise, "There is some physical discomfort, where did you know about it?" "He really had some accidents, the matter of Empress Eldest Sun being sick, Li Shimin naturally couldn't publicize it, let alone tell Huo Gang thousands of miles away, although Li Lizhi was there.

Of course, many ministers of Chang'an City also know about it, and there is no need to block the news. But if Li Shimin doesn't give an order, no one should take the initiative to publicize this kind of thing. But Huo Gang knew, and it was obviously possible to know because he cared about them.

Of course, he didn't know that Huo Gang guessed, this year's Spring Festival is calculated according to the AD calendar, it is February, and the eldest grandson queen died at the end of July in history, and she died in more than five months.
