"What do you mean?"

Is there any necessary connection between war and food? The officials were at a loss and didn't understand the connection.

Could it be that they are plundering the surrounding areas, and those grasslands and Western Regions tribes are even poorer.

Hearing this, Li Xiuzhu glanced at the dazed hundred officials and shook his head.

This is the pattern of the times.

Li Xiuzhu said: "As we all know, the closer you are to the south, the warmer it is, so Siam and Tianzhu are excellent agricultural fields. ”

"It's Siam, with the Canglan River beside it, and the land is fertile. Siam alone can afford to feed tens of millions of people in Dazhou. ”

Li Kuo and Baiguan didn't expect to hear such an answer, but after Li Xiuzhu finished speaking, they were immediately moved.

First, there is no need to cede or lease land.

Second, if you take Siam and get a piece of land, you won't have to worry about eating and drinking for the next hundred years.

Suddenly, the general Luo Shicheng stood up.

"Your Majesty, let's fight!"

With the leadership of the general, the military attache group was the first to come out.

"Your Majesty, let's fight! I am willing to be a pioneer. ”

"Your Majesty, let's fight! I'm willing to ......."

The rare civil officials did not speak against it, and they also stood up one after another.

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The ministers seconded it!"

It is rare to see all the officials working together and having the heart to make contributions, but Li Kuo's expression is complicated, and he can't be happy.

Time is running out, even if he really defeats Siam, will he have a chance to enjoy this honor?

If he gave his son the great achievement of expanding the territory, would future generations still remember him?

Remember, this reputation may be Li Chengze's father.

But this can't be stopped, even if he dies, the hundred officials will definitely fight Siam.

He suddenly regretted asking Li Xiuzhu about his strategy, he was really idle.

Since he can't stop it, he can only join, at least he made a start, plus the great cause of the Grand Canal, the history books must have his strong stroke, right?

"It's rare that all Aiqing are so united, so let's fight, I don't know which general is willing to go."

Luo Shicheng took the lead in hugging his fist when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead troops there."

"Your Majesty, I am willing to be the vanguard."

Li Kuo nodded with satisfaction and said happily: "Okay, Luo Shicheng, I ordered you to conquer the Western General." ”

"You can do the rest of the people, and I will allow you to do things cheaply."

Seeing that this was about to start, Li Xiuzhu frowned and couldn't figure out one thing.

"Your Majesty, do we have an army that can go out now?"

An abrupt sentence suddenly made the temple become dead silent.

Is there an army? Yes, but there are really no more who can go out to fight, hundreds of thousands of soldiers are supervising and digging ditches in various places, and the rest have to defend the border, where is there still an army.

If you want to go on the expedition, then the best thing to do is to remove the overseer's soldiers.

But the soldiers who supervised the construction were drawn, and something would definitely happen to the Grand Canal, not to mention anything else, there would definitely be no way to complete it.

I want His Majesty to stop digging the canal, but anyone can see that the Grand Canal is His Majesty's baby bump, and whoever mentions it at this time will die.

"Ahem, Xiuzhu is right, it's better to use soldiers in the summer."

Li Xiuzhu frowned when he heard this, but he didn't refute it, to be honest, using soldiers in summer is looking for death.

The gold, iron and bamboo pieces of the Great Zhou, under the high temperature of more than 30 degrees, you expect them to attack the city and the pool.

Well, well, Siam doesn't seem to have any big cities.

However, even so, Li Xiuzhu disagreed, he thought that Siam would either just pass the winter or be almost winter.

The officials looked at each other, but they didn't say much, just like Li Xiuzhu said, collecting 30% of the grain can also support the big week.

In the morning, Li Xiuzhu and Li Chengqian went to the Jiaofang Palace.

At this time, Ruan Wenjun, who knew that Li Xiuzhu was coming, was already dressed up beautifully.

Wan Wan was a little unhappy about this, she also wanted to dress up, but unfortunately it was useless for her to dress up with her dignity now.

However, she also had her own precautions, and although she was wearing shoes at this time, she was not wearing socks.

As long as you kick your feet, you can find an opportunity for the master to feel the beloved thing.

"Niangniang, the prince and the concubine are here."

At this moment, Ruan Wenjun's fast-beating heart suddenly stagnated, and then hurriedly suppressed the excitement in his heart, calmed down before he spoke: "Come in." ”

"Prince, colt, please!"

After the two entered the Jiaofang Palace, Li Xiuzhu suddenly felt two hot gazes.

Without thinking about it, he knew who the owner of his eyes was, and when he looked at it, it was Ruan Wenjun and Wan Wan.

That's it, Wan Wan's appearance at this time is too ordinary, and the ordinary Li Xiuzhu is a little disgusted.

"The son asks the queen mother to say goodbye."

The corners of Li Xiuzhu's mouth twitched, but the eldest brother of the prince was here, and he had to follow and say, "Erchen asks the queen mother to say goodbye." ”

Hiss~, Ruan Wenjun frowned, and the corners of his mouth twitched subconsciously.

It's so annoying, I want to hit someone.

Ruan Wenjun took two deep breaths, and then said in a soft tone: "Get up, what does Xiuzhu plan to cook for the palace?" ”

Li Xiuzhu opened his mouth when he heard this: "Sauerkraut fish, roasted whole sheep, chicken stewed mushrooms, toon scrambled eggs, and finally make pumpkin porridge." ”

"Toon? Can you eat this? Ruan Wenjun frowned slightly, obviously suspicious.

Li Xiuzhu explained with a smile: "Of course it can be eaten, but it is more common in farmers. ”

"It's just that what people don't know is that toon is very nutritious, although it is very different from meat, but it is also indispensable to the human body."

"At the same time, toon has the medicinal effect of strengthening the spleen and appetizing and increasing appetite."

"I heard the prince say that the mother has a bad appetite, so I chose toon."

"Now that the branches have just budded, it is the time when the smell of toon is not strong, which is suitable for first-time tasters."

Li Xiuzhu's words made Ruan Wenjun's heart warm, so careful, he really had a heart.

But just then, a sinister voice sounded.

"Brother-in-law, they are all members of their own family, and they call themselves sons and mothers on weekdays."

"Your name is Niangniang, and you call yourself me, it's really too foreign."

Li Xiuzhu: I really thank you!

Ruan Wenjun also had a black face, looking at his stupid son.

If you can't speak, you don't have to say it, do I need him to call?

"Chengze, you go to Fengyang Tower and ask a few of your sisters to come to eat too, it's rare to come to Xiuzhu, and let them taste the craftsmanship of Xiuzhu, and there are so many things, the three of us can't eat them."

Li Xiuzhu was stunned when he heard this, thinking about a few little sisters, he shouldn't be able to eat much, just a little more in four dishes and one soup.

Li Chengze didn't expect his mother to think about a few children from other families, which was completely impossible before, unlike his own mother's style.

But my mother told me to do it, so I naturally had to do it.

"Father-in-law Han, you go and pick up my sisters."

As soon as the prince's words fell, he heard Ruan Wenjun's displeased "um".

Li Chengze was stunned, looked at his mother, and saw his mother frowning at him.

"This palace asked you to pick it up, you will save trouble."

"What? Are you happy to communicate with your sisters? Still don't like my sister? ”
