Chapter 123: Du Ruyan was stunned, this great flame...
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, your Majesty, you will definitely not let Your Majesty down."
Guo Shoujing's face was solemn.
Li Kuan's words were already the weight of making him understand this matter.
"Then Principal Guo, tell me, what do you want to do?" Li Kuan personally poured a cup of tea for Guo Shoujing.
Guo Shoujing groaned.
"Your Majesty, our Dayan has a natural advantage, the north is the Turks, the Turks and my Dayan is a feud, as long as General Chen dispatches the white-robed army, with the strength of General Chen's army, if it is plundered, then... Naturally, there will be no shortage of milk, after all, these things are the most abundant in the Turks. ”
"Eggs and meat, the minister intends to... We breed our own households. ”
Guo Shoujing said slowly.
Li Kuan smiled calmly: "The milk is obtained from the Turks, this plan is really good." ”
"However, there are some eggs and meat that are not suitable for the household department to raise by themselves, so ....Principal Guo, I will give you a few pieces of information, and the household department will vigorously promote it."
"The egg is a thing, for the time being, the people have to bear it themselves, with our great Yan background, it will not be too difficult for every family to raise a chicken, a duck, and a goose."
"There are even some that can raise dozens of eggs in one family, and it is simple to popularize eggs."
"As for meat....we have to consider many things, on the one hand, we need to support the people to feed themselves, and on the other hand, we need your household department to find Heshen and set up a special farm with Heshen, and I have already chosen the livestock that produces meat."
Li Kuan got up and took out a few books from the bookshelf next to him.
"Signalology of Pigs", "Signals of Fattening Pigs", "Signals of Sows", "Signals of Piglets", "Handbook of Poultry Farming", "The Secret of Profitability in Modern Families", .......
Li Kuan put the books on the table.
These books are sold in Dayan's bookstore.
In fact, many people have begun to take action, but the court has not encouraged and guided, and now that the household department is not busy, naturally this matter must be arranged immediately.
Policies, guide the people, encourage the people, this will greatly speed up the breeding industry.
Guo Shoujing's eyes lit up, and he instantly understood what Li Kuan meant.
"Principal Guo, there are some things, please don't put all of them on yourself."
"These poultry and breeding, we must mobilize the people of the whole Dayan, work hard for the whole country, and work together for the whole country, so....it can get twice the result with half the effort!"
Li Kuan said with a smile.
Guo Shoujing nodded, then got up and hugged the books in his arms.
"Minister, thank you for your advice."
"Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, the minister will go down to study this matter."
Li Kuan waved his hand: "Go." ”
Guo Shoujing laughed, immediately surrendered, and walked outside.
Totally a workaholic.
Li Kuan stretched his waist and saw that it was almost noon, so he took a nap, rested, and waited for the news of the Datang Mission.
.
….….…….….….
Outside the Great Yan Country.
On the official road.
Originally, there was no official road, but since the founding of the Great Yan Dynasty, Li Kuan personally assigned people to build and repair it.
Now that half a year has passed, he already has his own official path belonging to the Great Yan Empire.
Now.
Du Ruhui, Cheng Yanjin, Qin Qiong, Kong Yingda.......
They rode together on horses.
Now that the day is just right, the wind is blowing on my body, and I am extremely comfortable, so naturally I don't want to take the carriage.
"It's not far from Great Xia, isn't it? Why haven't you received Da Yan's letter yet, is it....Da Yan doesn't agree to us entering the country? ”
Du Ruhui raised his head and looked ahead, his brows furrowed.
"Definitely not, I, Datang, went to congratulate, and it was too late for the Great Yan Monarch to be happy when he learned about it."
"I guess....this will be the Great Yan Monarch, who is arranging the capital to welcome our arrival."
Kong Yingda laughed confidently.
"Yes, yes, we have never enjoyed such a battle, even the Turks have never enjoyed it, and they can give them such a small country established in such a wild land, such a big face, what reason do they have to refuse?"
Yu Shinan echoed.
As soon as these words came out, everyone let out a chuckle.
"Indeed it is! It is really not easy for Dayan to establish a country in such a bad place! ”
"And the Turks are eyeing the north, and Dayan has a war with Goguryeo, and now that my Tang Dynasty is showing goodwill, they must be very excited!"
Kong Yingda guessed and smiled.
Excited....
As Cheng Yanjin, who has personally lived in the land of Dayan, he has doubts about this.
He wanted to refute it, but seeing that Kong Yingda and the others were full of interest and were willing, he didn't refute it.
Afraid of causing a war of words.
Kong Yingda and others are so many.
And he Cheng bites gold, there is only one person!
Yes, one person, one person~
No one would have imagined that a country with a population of more than 100,000 people would be so terrifying.
After all, population represents national strength.
Cheng Yanjin sighed again.
And Kong Yingda and the others didn't know, and they were still talking.
"That's right! Dayan had already made enemies with Goguryeo and fought Liang again, so he must not have a good relationship with the Turks. Yu Shinan rubbed his stomach with both hands: "Now that our Datang envoy is Dayan, they will never dare to offend us again!" ”
"Otherwise....there are enemies on all sides, his Great Yan army is certainly powerful, but in this case, even if it is three heads and six arms, it will not be able to withstand the encirclement and suppression of our three kingdoms."
Du Ruhui thinks about it, this is indeed the truth.
"Wait until Da Yan, everyone, please don't look down on people in front of others, our lobby is sincere to Da Yan, so as not to make them think that we are not following etiquette."
Du Ruhui reminded.
It was at this moment that a scout hurried in from the front.
"Prime Minister Du, Dayan's letter of state has arrived!"
The scout respectfully handed the letter of state in his hand to Du Ruhui.
This letter was naturally written by Chen Qingzhi and sent over.
"Good, good!"
Du Ruhui took it, opened it and looked at the content on it, and suddenly the stone that he was worried about in his heart also fell to the ground.
He hurriedly looked at the contents.
However, when Du Ruhui looked at it, his face did become more and more stiff, and the smile on his face disappeared.
"Keming, what's wrong?"
Qin Qiong on the side hurriedly asked.
Kong Yingda frowned, a little unconvinced: "No, Prime Minister Du, isn't it....Da Yan doesn't welcome us?" ”
His face was full of displeasure.
"Sure enough, this barbarian land doesn't understand any etiquette at all!"
"I sent them out of the Tang Dynasty to give them a lot of face, and they treated us like this!"
There was some anger and nervousness on the faces of the people around him.
They thought, it can't be that Da Yan won't let them go, right?
If that's the case, it's really embarrassing.
They had never imagined anything like this before.
"Da Yan, let's go, but...it seems a little unwelcome."
Du Ruhui exhaled and said with a wry smile.
He handed the reply letter from the Great Yan Rite Department to Qin Qiong and the others.
Qin Qiong and the others, after watching it separately, everyone's expressions all became....extremely exciting....
It's wonderful!
They don't believe that this demand can be made by a single country.
No meals included!
No accommodation included!
No transportation included!
It doesn't matter what you want, you can come if you want, and if you don't come, forget it.
This, this, too....slam the door.
Is this a letter that the Ministry of Rites can reply?
All of a sudden, the crowd fell silent.
"The land of barbarians is the land of barbarians!!"
"The old man has lived for so long, and he has never seen such a strange country, what kind of poverty does this have to become?"
After a long time, Kong Yingda slowly spoke.
"So, are we still going?"
Yu Shinan didn't know what to say.
Such a strange thing can appear in a country, they really have never expected and prepared for this.
Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin both looked at Du Ruhui.
This time, Du Ruhui is the leader of the Tang envoy group and has decision-making power.
Usually it may not be obvious, but when it comes to such a critical time, it is necessary to listen to Du Ruhui.
Du Ruhui was silent for a moment.
"Go!"
A word came out of his mouth.
Du Ruhui knew that he was carrying the expectations of the emperor at home.
He understands too well how much Li Shimin misses Princess Changle, even if it is worth it to take a look at Princess Changle's situation.
And this time, the situation in Datang is not optimistic, Your Majesty, the real dragon, was locked by the gate valve of the Shi clan.
Da Yan may have a way to help His Majesty break free.
Du Ruhui swept over everyone and continued to say in a deep voice: "This time, since it was an envoy initiated by us, we can't just go back. ”
"And Princess Changle is still in Dayan, I am at the behest of Your Majesty to see how Her Royal Highness the Princess is doing, so I think this trip is a must."
"On this national letter, Da Yan didn't explicitly reject us, but he couldn't afford such a high cost, I thought....I should have accepted the relationship between so many people in Youzhou and so many scholars in our Datang."
"As we all know, Da Yan is not big, just a small land, so the situation of Da Yan's treasury is definitely worse than our Da Tang, and at the moment, Da Yan's official road is so luxurious, I'm afraid it will cost a lot, not to mention the city, so thinking about it, there is no money....It's normal."
Du Ruhui said slowly.
Everyone listened to Du Ruhui's analysis, even if they were dissatisfied, they could finally accept it.
"Also, let's take Your Majesty's expectations, as well as the farewell of the people of the city, if we go back like this, we are really speechless to face Your Majesty and the people." Qin Qiong said softly.
"That's right, Dayan is a small country, I can't afford it, and I can understand it, but if we Datang don't want to go when we hear this little difficulty, wouldn't it also give people the impression that our Datang is small-minded? It's not that we Datang can't afford this money! Kong Yingda agreed.
Yu Shinan and Gai Wenda also nodded their heads again and again.
Truly!
Compared with them spending some travel expenses, food expenses, accommodation fees, etc., just returning to Chang'an in such a disgraced manner is more embarrassing for the Tang Dynasty.
It's a big deal, give Da Yan less gifts.
You must know that this time, in order to show the demeanor of a great country, Datang gritted his teeth and took a lot of good things to Dayan.
And this is also Datang's attitude towards foreign countries.
Regardless of whether we are hostile or not, no matter whether your country is big or small, as long as you recognize me as a friend, then you will definitely be given good things.
Self-proclaimed, the state of etiquette.
"Straighten out the team, goal! Great Flame!! ”
Du Ruyan drank low and directly confirmed.
The contingent of envoys of the Tang Dynasty marched forward again.
On the road.
Everyone saw the scenery of some villages in Dayan, and they couldn't help but sigh.
Deserted.
But!
It's still good.
Along the way, when they passed through Youzhou in their home Tang Dynasty, it was even more shocking.
They all know that in the first half of the year, Youzhou was affected by the locust plague, and many people went to Dayan.
But!
They are far away in Chang'an City, and they will always have only one cold data, and they can't really experience it at all.
And when they passed through Youzhou, they felt very deep and deep.
Many county towns have been abandoned.
The empty Zhuangzi were all occupied by wild beasts, the houses collapsed, the courtyard walls were dilapidated, and it looked like no one had lived in them for a long time.
This situation, the further north you go, the more obvious it becomes.
Even when you get to the place where you are close to the Great Flame, it has become a completely no-man's land.
Not to mention the village, it is the county seat, and it is impossible to find ten families scattered around.
The entire Youzhou is half scrapped.
"I didn't expect that this year's locust plague had such a big impact on our Youzhou, and it was also affected here."
Du Ruhui couldn't believe it.
"It's all to blame on those damn clan gatekeepers, who are stockpiling grain one by one, and would rather rot the grain in the warehouse than take it out to save the people."
"If they could have acted earlier, my Datang Youzhou would not have been so badly affected!"
Qin Qiong felt very uncomfortable.
Natural disasters are merciless!
This is much more harmful to the people than the Turkic southward movement.
"Who's to say it's not?" Kong Yingda sighed: "In fact, in the first half of the year, the people still have a lot to thank Da Yan, Da Yan robbed us of many people in Datang, but Da Yan....I don't know how many people have been saved, so it is understandable that Da Yan has no money now." ”
"But now that the disaster has passed, why haven't the people come back to so much deserted land in Youzhou?"
"A wild land like Dayan, just like here, the land is barren, which is also the same disease of the northern land, it must be not as fertile as the land of my Datang, why don't you come back."
Kong Yingda frowned slightly, not quite understanding.
"Wouldn't it be....forcibly seized by Dayan? Don't let the people come back, right? Qin Qiong's eyes also sank.
"It shouldn't be, right?" Du Ruhui didn't believe it and said.
Cheng Yanjin stood up at this time and said with a smile: "Hahaha, this question, when you get to the Great Yan Land, you will understand why they didn't come back!" ”
When the words fell, everyone was stunned.
They looked at Cheng Yanjin and saw that Cheng Yanjin was so confident, Cheng Yanjin, as a person who had been to Dayan and came back, naturally had a decisive right to speak.
He said this....
The estimate....this big estimate is somewhat substantiated.
