Li Yunze understood what Li Er meant, and in the final analysis, he also thought that he was wasting food.

But in fact, he didn't waste it.

It is not to leave the grain still, or simply to rot and mold. It is made into feed for livestock, poultry and fish, providing meat and is also a food cycle.

Needless to say, he raised prices to buy surplus grain from farmers, which played a role in promoting economic circulation.

The population of the Tang Dynasty in this era is gradually recovering, and its number has not yet reached the peak of the supply capacity of the feudal dynasty.

After all, there were too many deaths during the chaos in the world at the end of the Sui Dynasty before, especially in Hebei, where almost ten rooms and nine empty rooms.

Usually it takes one or two hundred years, through many generations of reproduction, to gradually reach and exceed the limit of the offering.

At that time, as long as there was a natural disaster, coupled with the man-made disaster that had always existed, it would immediately be the rhythm of chaos in the world.

】

This kind of thing flips through the history books and looks at the trajectory of the dynastic cycle.

Although Datang had a bumper harvest at this time, it was far from being extremely rich in food.

There are only two ways to solve this problem.

One is the internal technological breakthrough, which increases the level of supply by increasing production.

There is another one, that is, as Li Yunze proposed, to go out and grab TMD.

Not only do you want things, but you don't even let go of the territory.

The technological breakthrough of involution is not impossible, and Li Yunze can also do it, but he doesn't want to do it.

It's not difficult to provide high-yielding sweet potatoes or something, but this kind of stuff is too laborious, and a few years of hard work can make a good field barren, unless it can provide mutated seeds.

If Li Yunze didn't have mutant seeds, he could still provide chemical fertilizers or something, but he didn't want to bother to engage in any chemical industry.

With that kind of kung fu, wouldn't it be more fragrant to go out and grab it directly.

If you feel that it is not good to grab it directly, it can be said that you are going to promote the education of saints.

Li Er left with a stomach full of thoughts.

As he grew older, his mind became deeper and deeper, and he would never be revealed in front of others.

To put it bluntly, he is getting better and better at the emperor's profession.

When leaving, he and the eldest grandson Wuji also took Li Yunze's cart of live fish, the kind in the bucket.

The original words were: 'Your fish are fed with grain, but I want to see the difference.' ’

Li Yunze knew that he was waiting, waiting for the train to really show a strong delivery ability.

Whether it's south, north, or west, the long distances and the overwhelming logistics are insurmountable.

Even if it is taken with the strength of the whole country, there is not enough projection ability and control, and the rebellion in the Western Regions and Lingnan and other places since the Qin and Han dynasties is the result.

Li Er attaches great importance to the railway, and this kind of mechanical beast, which is said to be able to run thousands of miles in a day, will be the key to solving the lack of control over the border areas.

Datang has iron riding but no railway, then it is just Datang.

Datang has iron riding and railroad, that is Jutang!

When everyone left, Li Yunze also picked up a copy net and walked to the fish pond.

They all came, and the guests all got a cart of fish and left, and of course they had to eat it themselves.

I picked up two big fish, found a bag and loaded them, and carried them back to Zhuangzi.

Dinner has been settled, one steamed and one braised is absolutely delicious.

Li Er was indeed waiting for the train, but the matter at hand did not stop.

The promotion of Champa rice in the south of the Yangtze River is the most important work in recent times.

In addition, in order to increase the population and show their benevolence, a review system of repeated orders and five repetitions was issued.

That is, when dealing with death row prisoners, the court must perform five times, and the local prefectures and counties must perform three times to express that human life is at stake, in order to show prudence.

Except for the most heinous crimes, those who can not be killed will not be killed.

In the past year, dozens of death row prisoners have been disposed of across the country.

In addition to internal affairs, the expansion of foreign territory has not stopped.

After defeating the rebellious party members, he set up sixteen states on his land and completely controlled the entire northern land.

Then there is the diplomatic aspect, the island that has a good life has sent the first batch of envoys to the Tang Dynasty, as well as Linyi State, Silla and other states have sent envoys to pay tribute, expressing respect for the strength of the Tang Dynasty, hoping to get along with the Tang Dynasty.

The simple explanation is, I hope that my eldest brother can give me some benefits, and at the same time, don't come to beat me.

After all, whenever the Central Plains Dynasty stabilized, the surrounding small countries must be trembling.

It's all traditional.

The civil and military forces in the court all know that their majesty is actually a great joy and likes to show face.

is to use Wei Zheng as a brake, so he didn't show it too explicitly.

However, everything has gone smoothly in the past two years, and now there are so many small tribal countries to call the eldest brother, and the great joy in my bones can't help it.

Not surprisingly, in the first month of the sixth year of Zhenguan, Li Er held a grand banquet again in the Yong'an Palace to entertain many envoys.

There was no accident, Li Yunze took Wu Meiniang to attend this banquet.

Because of the credit for finding the Spice Islands and Champa Rice before, Li Er promoted him to the title, and now he is the son of Lantian County.

Although the title is not high, his seat is among the princes, and no one objects to his lack of qualifications.

Even Wei Zheng, who everyone hates, said that with the twice-cropping Champa rice in one year, it should not be just a county, and His Majesty treats the heroes harshly.

Li Er didn't have anything to say, he could only roll his eyes.

The banquet was very lively, especially under the reflection of the glass spotlights, which reflected the entire hall as if it were daylight.

The sound of music mixed with the music style of the Western Regions sounded, and the repertoire that was reserved at each banquet, King Qin's breaking array music came on as scheduled.

The little white-faced male protagonist led a group of dancers in cloth armor to jump and make all kinds of bells and whistles, and Li Yunze was really embarrassed to watch.

The civil and military nobles also often watch it, although they still show a gesture of being moved to cry bitterly, but in fact, there is no wave in their hearts.

On the contrary, the envoys of various countries watched it with relish.

After all, in this era of expensive entertainment projects, large-scale singing and dancing scenes are not something that can be seen casually.

As the actors tried their best, they shouted the sentence "The head of the state is subject to the law, and the prime minister will ask for the traitor." Xian Ge breaks the array and enjoys the peace people! The atmosphere at the banquet was at its peak.

"Master." Wu Meiniang, who clapped her little hands vigorously, lowered her voice and asked, "Why don't you shout?" ”

"They have to rely on His Majesty to eat, so they have to be excellent actors and pretend that they are excited."

Li Yunze had a strange expression on his face, "I'll give Datang food to eat, so I don't have to act." I'm tired of watching this kind of scene for a long time. ”

He's really tired of watching.

I don't talk about it in parallel worlds, even in the modern world... Ahem.

Li Er, who was sitting on the dragon chair, pretended not to see Li Yunze, who stood out from the crowd, and looked at Jieli Khan with a changeable expression with a warm gaze, "I heard that the Khan has prepared a repertoire to entertain distinguished guests, but is there such a thing?" ”

In addition to King Qin's breaking array music, there is also a must-have program at every large-scale banquet, that is, the dance of Jieli Khan.

At the beginning, Jieli would find a way to make some small moves, but after being cleaned up, he was honest.

Ever since he was unwilling to die and chose to be a prisoner, he had no bottom line.

Dance, dance, at least live.

When Jieli Khan danced, the expressions of the envoys of Fanbang were very exciting.

That was the Khan of the most powerful Turkic in the world a few years ago, and now he is actually a clown for the Tang Emperor to dance, how strong is the Tang Dynasty.

This is the effect that Li Er and the civil and military forces want.

Deterrence, a truly powerful deterrent.

Powerful as the Turks, their khans are dancing, and what is it?

After the dance of Jieli Khan, many Fanbang tribes behaved very respectfully, saying that they would be called small, and they would be called Shang. It can be said that the mentality of a small country is vividly displayed.

It's just that there are always mavericks.

When the messenger of the small day, named Inugami Mita, toasted Li Er, he said 'the Son of Heaven in the Land of Sunrise to the Son of Heaven in the Land of Sunset'.

This really makes Datang angry a lot.

They did this to Yang Guang once decades ago, and now they dare to treat Li Er like this?

Li Er, who squinted his eyes, did not take the toast, but sneered, "The smallest country dares to be arrogant, it seems that you still don't know the strength of the Tang Dynasty." ”

After that, his eyes looked at Li Yunze, who was picking vegetables for Wu Meiniang, "Lantian County, has the railway from Chang'an City to Yunyang been built and can be opened to traffic?" ”

Li Yunze, who was stunned, immediately understood what Li Er meant.

"This...", he put down his quick mind and thought for a moment, "three days, you can open it in three days." If you are interested, you can go shopping together by car. ”

Li Er immediately showed a satisfied smile, and his eyes swept over the many envoys, "Three days later, you can go to witness the strength of my Tang Dynasty!" ”

From Chang'an City to Yunyang, it is about dozens of miles away, and this section is the earliest to be built and the first to be built.

The first is the proximity, the second is the good terrain conditions, and the last is the most important as a training model.

Li Yunze knew that he couldn't play any high-tech at the level of Datang, so he used the most suitable things for the technical level of this era.

Even the locomotive is an old steam locomotive that has been custom-built at great expense, and in the modern world it is usually only found in museums.

In terms of structure, it is not very large, in fact, it is not difficult, the main thing is to boil water and produce steam.

The carriages are also ordered, and the metal floor is a wooden carriage, and the interior decoration is gorgeous enough.

Three days later, the Chang'an City Railway Station on the bank of the Chan River outside the Tonghua Gate was crowded with civil and military dignitaries and foreign envoys.

Seeing that Datang was so extravagant that he laid expensive iron tools on the ground, the faces of the envoys were more and more shocked.

They have an iron pot from the Tang Dynasty that can be exchanged for a horse or a cow, and how many iron pots can be made with so much iron.

Snowflakes fell in the sky, sprinkled on the quietly parked train, adding a strange charm.

Li Yunze was too lazy to do any ceremony, so he just beckoned everyone to get into the car.

There was a stove burning in the carriage, and the warm breath made the people who were stomping their feet from the cold breathe a sigh of relief.

Since it hadn't been opened yet, the envoys didn't know what it was for, and they all wondered what the Tang people meant by letting them visit this kind of small house.

Many envoys even looked at the Tang army wearing woolen military uniforms outside the window through the glass car window, and ridiculed the Tang army for not even being able to use the armor.

For these dirt buns, the Tang people didn't even bother to explain.

All doubts and incomprehension came to an abrupt end with a long and clear sound.

In the sound of the rumbling iron striking, the small house under his feet actually moved slowly!
