Envoys to other countries, this is in Tang Ping's memory, and he can only watch the majestic appearance of our country's diplomatic corps on the short video platform.

It is definitely impossible to say that he doesn't look forward to it in his heart, but it turns out that he is a salted fish convenience store owner, how can he have such an opportunity?

So when he really decided to go to Dongyue, of course he was quite excited in his heart.

And he thought about it, and this time everyone in the family went.

At that time, Pei Min, Xiaobai and Xiao Luo Luyi sat in front, plus just five of them, and it would be good for Lao Cui and Lao Du to be in the car body.

"This, bring these snacks, Xiao Luo loves to eat!"

"On the way, let's eat something simple, and make do with instant noodles and instant rice."

"Lao Cui, go to the warehouse and bring the tent I brought back this time, I bought it newly, it is estimated that we will have to stay for one night on the road, and we can't all sleep in the car."

"Lao Du, bring more clothes, there is no heating for you to sit in the back!"

"Also, Xiaobai, don't think that you can be lazy when you go out, bring all the books you should memorize!"

This night, Tang Ping was like a child waiting for a spring outing the next day, and he was so excited.

As soon as the day dawned, he couldn't wait to get up and wash, as if everyone knew his mood, and when he went downstairs, Xiao Luo Lao Cui and they were all waiting for him.

"Let's go!"

The excited Tang Ping drove his pickup truck towards Dongyue with several people who were also excited.

Soon they came to the official road from Shanghe Village, the official road of Datang was much better than Tang Ping imagined, although the road was not straight, but it was flat, and it was paved with gravel.

"It's natural!" Lu Yi explained to Tang Ping: "The most important thing about the official roads in the Tang Dynasty is to use them for troop mobilization. ”

"And the most important thing for civilians who serve in conscription every year is to build river embankments and maintain official roads."

In this era, the maintenance of official roads must be included in the assessment of magistrates, so no one dares to treat it sloppily.

Therefore, the speed on this road was much faster than Tang Ping imagined, because in this era, he was on this road with a car, and occasionally pedestrians and carriages would avoid him when they saw his roaring giant beast.

Lao Cui and Lao Du in the car body took turns holding a Tang Army flag, and the Tang people in the past saw the military flag, although they didn't know what this steel giant was, but they knew that it was the Tang Army, so they wouldn't have much panic.

In the morning, Tang Ping and his team drove nearly 200 kilometers to Danfeng County.

"Let's take a break here, have lunch and go!"

Stopping the car, Tang Ping stretched his waist, it had been a long time since he had driven such a car.

Fortunately, there were Li Bai, Xiaoluo, and Lu Yi in the car chatting with him all the time, so he didn't feel bored.

"Second Master, you ...... This car is too fast! When Li Bai got out of the car, he felt that his feet were still a little floating.

However, I have to say that this car is still more comfortable than the butt on horseback, and the big leather seats wrap people in it, and there is not a trace of cold wind.

The most important thing is that the speed is really fast, and it takes 400 miles in one morning, so it is really easy to travel 1000 miles in a day.

At this rate, they will be able to reach the Tang-Yue border tomorrow night, and they will be able to reach their destination Fuyang the day after tomorrow.

"How? Do you want to learn? Tang Ping helped remove the floor mat from the car body and lay it on the ground.

"Yes!" When Li Bai heard this, his eyes lit up, this thing is much more domineering than that bicycle, if he can learn to drive, then what kind of bicycle do he need?

"Okay, when I come back from Dongyue this time, I will teach you, Lao Cui Lao Du or Xiao Luo, you can learn whatever you want!"

Although there is only one car now, but what will happen in the future, who knows?

Soon, Li Shimin, who was far away in the deep palace, also received the news that Tang Ping and the others left Chang'an in a roaring iron car and went east quickly.

"The iron car doesn't need to be horse-pulled, and it runs fast, and the people of the secret spy department estimate that if they ride a good war horse, they can run for twenty or thirty miles at most, and they will never be able to catch up again." Li Yuanji said with a look of envy: "When Tang Ping comes back, I don't know if I can borrow me to play." ”

"Okay, third brother, don't just think about playing!" The big pickup trucks full of power have a special attraction for these men, and Li Shimin is no exception, but they have more important things to do.

Before Tang Ping left yesterday, he discussed the last strategy with Fang Du and the others, that is, to use manpower to catch locust larvae.

Although the locust plague is coming, the number of locusts is innumerable, but there can be one less.

Datang originally had some grain reserves, all of which were used to prepare for disaster relief in disaster years.

This time they will take it out in advance, but not for free, but the locust larvae caught by the people can be exchanged for food later.

In this way, it can also be regarded as distributing part of the relief grain in advance, and the recovered locust larvae will be dried and ground into powder.

First, these locust powder can be used as feed to feed chickens and ducks.

You must know that the locust plague is not the only one, it is recorded in the history books that there is basically a locust plague every few years, so Datang has planned to let the people raise poultry on a large scale for a long time, which can not only prevent and control the locust plague, but also provide meat.

The second is that it can be used to mix into food to provide protein.

Although this thing seems to be a bit bumpy, but in fact, the protein content of locusts is as high as more than 74%, and the vast majority of species of locusts contain more than ten kinds of amino acids, and the ratio of polyunsaturated fatty acids to saturated fatty acids is even higher than that of most animal fats, and the quality of oil is higher than that of rapeseed oil and similar to peanut oil.

Generally speaking, locusts have complete nutrients, rich protein content, reasonable amino acid composition, and low fat content, which is a good thing with high protein, low fat, low energy and rich in minerals.

Therefore, after Tang Ping left Chang'an, Datang also began a vigorous plan to exchange for locust larvae.

Although ten catties of locust larvae can only be exchanged for a small bag of grain, but this thing is everywhere in the field, now is the agricultural slack period, rather than idle, it is better to go to the field to catch insects.

No matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat, and no matter how little food it gets, it is still food.

Speaking of which, this is another form of cash-for-work.

At the same time, Datang also made a move to adjust the troops, and it is not easy for the army to be pulled, but as a few bordering countries, who doesn't have a few spies on the other side?

As long as the action of increasing troops on the border between Tang and Yue is made, as long as Datang does not strictly control the transmission of messages.

It doesn't take the army to really pull out, and the Dongyue Kingdom will be able to get the news if they want to.
