Zhang Jiuli had to come over, this is also a very important thing, the land in the south is three crops a year, and now the rice has reached the time of harvest, but the people around him are almost gone, so Zhang Jiuli has to come to Li Xiang to get an idea, this is a large amount of grain, enough for hundreds of thousands of people to eat for a year.

"How can food be wasted? It just so happened that we didn't have anything to do now, so that all our soldiers, including those prisoners of war, would go to the work of collecting food, and the army in the hands of the eldest grandson brother would not join the operation. ”

After listening to Zhang Jiuli's report, Li Xiang immediately knew what to do, except for the most elite army, the rest of the people had to go to harvest food.

Although Li Xiang's system can be exchanged for grain, Li Xiang has been doing it all the time, preparing that if the system does not exist one day, we must have enough food, not to mention that this land must be sown immediately after harvesting the grain, otherwise it will become a wasteland next year.

It's not so easy to raise a good piece of land, but if you want to turn it into a wasteland, then you can do it at any time, so in this case, Li Xiang will never waste time, not to mention that the land in the south can be harvested three times a year, which is too important for the entire Datang.

The most important thing in feudal society is food, when you have more food, the number of ordinary people in your country will increase, and after the number of people increases, then the strength of your empire can be strong, and these things are the foundation of an empire's survival.

"So are we going to ship this batch of grain back home, or are we going to keep it all in Wacheng? If we want to ship it back to China, then we don't have the means of transportation, but if we stay in Wacheng, we don't have a place to store it. ”

Zhang Jiuli said helplessly, he can make decisions about many things by himself, and the people in the barracks also know, don't look at this person as classless, but he is very trusted by His Royal Highness, and he can make decisions on some things himself, but he can't make decisions on these two things.

"There is no shortage of food in the country, we don't need to transport it back, if the labor force is not enough, then find someone to help in the city, or our original standard, five catties of rice or white flour per person per day, depending on their meaning, try to build a granary as quickly as possible, but the standard must be sufficient, and the supervisor will find it from the country."

Li Xiang thought for a while and said, if it is shipped back, the labor will mobilize the people, and the price of grain in the country is extremely cheap, if these grains are left in Wacheng, it will be very helpful to Li Xiang and them.

Grain is a weapon that is only useful in war-torn places, and even if you transport this large amount of grain back to Chang'an now, it will only be able to continue to lower the price of grain in Chang'an, which is not a good thing for Li Xiang, who has many granges.

But if you stay in Wacheng, because of the war, whether it is the army or the common people around, many people will soon not be able to eat, and their hatred for the court of the Bi Kingdom will soon come out, and even if Li Xiang does not lead the army south, the internal contradictions alone will be enough for them to drink a pot.

When their contradictions are irreconcilable, our people can send a large amount of grain, which can not only buy people's hearts, but also shake the foundation of their rule, and can also make many people see that the Tang Empire is not just squeezing them, and sometimes it will also take out food for disaster relief, which will change the views of many diehards.

"My subordinates will do it immediately."

Zhang Jiuli understood Li Xiang's thoughts, and the local people might have quality problems in the construction, but if all the supervisors were from China, they also knew that Li Xiang's requirements for quality would definitely be strict with local workers.

As for the fact that there are no workers or anything like that, although we are an occupation army, we can get five catties of rice every day, which is definitely a high income in the local area, and as the war drags on, the price of food will get higher and higher, and these people in the local area will definitely come to work as long as their brains are fine.

In addition, Li Xiang is also ready to spread the news to Nanzhao Kingdom, if there are people in Nanzhao Kingdom who want to come, Li Xiang still chooses them to come, after all, those people can still be trusted.

In this war, many old men of Nanzhao acted as a transport army, and they also came into contact with some firearms, but nothing else happened, which shows that these people are really obedient to the Tang Dynasty, since they have the opportunity to make money, why not cheap them? Why cheap these locals?

Zhang Jiuli's actions were very fast, Li Xiang's side had just approved, and someone had already started to harvest rice the next morning.

Of course, the main force of the work is still those in the prisoner of war camps, after all, they are all locals, and harvesting rice is not difficult for them, but if these old men in the north are allowed to do it, it will take a day or two just to teach them, and they can't grasp the essence of the work, and often put in great effort, but the final result is not big.

When Li Xiang was harvesting rice here, General Mi Peng finally returned to the capital, this guy's result was definitely not good, and before he entered the city, he had already received the news that the king of the country of Bi directly beheaded more than 30 members of his family.

The front line encountered such a fiasco, the king of the country of Pi must have an outlet, looking for and looking for who to take to be angry, in the end can only kill the family of General Mipo, in the eyes of the king of the country after such a thing, General Mipon will definitely not dare to come back.

At this moment, General Mi Peng, a small tea stall outside the capital of the country of Bi, fainted directly, and all around him were his loyal subordinates.

The families of these people have also been arrested, but they haven't been executed for the time being, but it definitely doesn't end well.

These people have already discussed it just now, now we must not go back to the capital, if we go back, we will definitely all die, we must unite around the general, let the general ask for justice for us.

All the family members are in the hands of the imperial court, if they do what the imperial court says, then they will die with the family, and now there is only one way, that is, let the general erect the banner of resistance, they fight with the general, and finally negotiate terms with the imperial court, so that they can save the family, instead of stupidly obeying the orders of the imperial court.
