People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 79 Popcorn

Many people know that Changsun Chong and Li Zheng can't get along with Li Tai's trouble.

Li Zheng just wanted to buy land, so it wouldn't be so troublesome for Changsun Chong to send the memorial to Zhongshu Province for reconsideration, let alone such a farce.

Everyone knows that Li Tai's troubles in the province are well known, and the entanglement between the eldest grandson's family and Li Zheng has been brought to the surface again.

From when Li Zheng was kicked out of the Changsun's academy, to when Li Zheng became famous in Chang'an.

Li Chengqian looked at the scenery outside the East Palace and said, "This time it was Changsun Chong who made a mistake."

The Eastern Palace official reported: "Many scholars admire Li Zheng very much, and it is said that there are rumors that Changsun Chong instructed the original master to drive Li Zheng out of the library."

Li Chengqian's expression became more serious.

The official continued: "Although no one has criticized the eldest son's family, there has been a lot of private discussions. I am afraid that this time the reputation of the eldest grandson's family will plummet."

Li Chengqian whispered: "Don't let people talk about this in the East Palace, but now it seems that the character of the eldest Sun Chong, the father will not let him be the concubine, let alone marry Lizhi."

After listening to Li Chengqian's words, several members of the Eastern Palace bowed and retire.

Now that there is a shortage of manpower in the court, the father and emperor have always been thirsty for talents, and it is too late for Li Zhenglai to pull him.

Changsun Chong also pushed Li Zheng out.

This time, the father emperor began to scold Qingque and comfort the eldest Sun Chong.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the father emperor was already disappointed with Changsun Chong.

Three days after the incident, a [-] urgent military report was sent to Chang'an.

Tuyuhun and Liangzhou went to war.

Sixty thousand Tuyuhun soldiers and horses knocked on Liangzhou city!

Li Shimin immediately summoned the ministers to discuss the matter.

Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong and other generals all came to Ganlu Hall to discuss.

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others were all there, but Li Jing did not come without the eldest grandson Wuji.

Li Shimin said first: "This time Tuyuhun suddenly attacked Liangzhou. Fortunately, he was prepared."

Qin Qiong also said after reading the military newspaper: "It seems that Cheng Yaojin's son Cheng Chumo is right. The Tubo did not do anything, but retreated from the border."

Cheng Yaojin cleared his throat and said, "The kid just said a few words casually, but I didn't expect that he was really right."

Everyone turned to look at Cheng Yaojin, contempt for this old guy who got cheap and sold well.

Just rely on his son Cheng Yaojin?
Everyone here knows what his son is.

Li Shimin knocked on the table to signal everyone to continue the discussion.

Fang Xuanling said, "This minister thinks that there are still [-] soldiers and horses guarded by Li Daliang in Liangzhou, and it is unlikely that they will be able to defeat them for a while."

Du Ruhui also said: "The report that came just yesterday, the cavalry on the grassland has already set off for Liangzhou, and now I think it should be almost there."

Qin Qiong also said: "I thought I would wait for three more days. If there is no good news after three days, I will add another [-] troops to prevent accidents."

Fang Xuanling nodded towards Li Shimin, indicating approval.

Li Shimin finally clapped the table and said, "Then do this. If you don't report in three days, Yuchigong will lead [-] troops to help."

Yuchigong stood up from the court class and said, "The minister takes orders."

After everyone left, Fang Xuanling stayed behind and said, "Your Majesty, if this battle is to be fought, it should be resolved quickly."

Li Shimin took a sip of the tea soup and asked, "What's wrong?"

Fang Xuanling saluted and said, "Go back to Your Majesty, if this battle takes too long, I'm afraid there will be insufficient food in the future."

Hearing him say this, Li Shimin's face became even more ugly.

Li Shimin is not ignorant of the things reported by the Ministry of Household these days.

Datang is too short of food, and if there is food, there will be a national capital. As long as there is enough food, the people will not have to worry about starvation, and they can encourage population growth.

More than once, I have had a headache over the population problem of Datang.

During the Great Ye period of the former Sui Dynasty, the Central Plains Party was fighting everywhere, and various anti-kings rose up to crusade against the violent Sui Dynasty.

This dozen has been more than ten years, and these ten years have almost wiped out the population of the Central Plains.

Li Shimin is also worried. Today's Tang Dynasty has a hundred wastes waiting to be rebuilt, there is not enough food, and there is no way for the population to increase rapidly.

If there is not enough population, there is not enough national capital, and the strength will also decline.

Now the situation has stabilized.

Unpredictable future events.

When the Tang Dynasty first gained a foothold, it was necessary to suppress rebellions everywhere, and it was necessary to use troops against the Turks.

Now there is another accident in Liangzhou, and there is a Tibetan who is eager to try.

"Your Majesty! Liangzhou cannot be destroyed. Once Liangzhou is lost again, it will be difficult to fight back."

Fang Xuanling said that once Tuyuhun bites Liangzhou, it is like a wolf bites a piece of fat, it will not let go so easily.

"Why don't I know that this battle is going to be resolved quickly, and I don't know if the Turks' ability to lose their minds can be reliable." Li Shimin sighed.

Fang Xuanling said, "Your Majesty, you should prepare food and grass early just in case."

Li Shimin nodded feebly, "I know that I will draw food and grass from other places to prepare for emergencies."

After he finished speaking, Li Shimin closed his eyes, he was running out of food and grass, and the burden of the war was too great.

This year's grain has not yet reached the harvest season, if Tuyuhun is a month later.

After Datang had a harvest, he naturally had the confidence to fight Tuyuhun to the death.

It's just a small border country, and it's nothing to be afraid of.

The bad thing is that he is too good at timing!
How nervous the grain and grass are at this moment, how much Li Shimin hates those aristocratic families who collect grain.

Jingyang
Li Zheng was still asleep when Li Tai was woken up.

"Get up quickly, Li Yifu said that your thing called corn is also cooked."

Li Zheng got up from the bed with a dazed expression, "What's the use of being handsome, I still have to get up and work at dawn."

He hastily washed his face, and after rinsing his mouth, he looked at the sun in the sky and found that he had slept until noon before he knew it.

Leaving the house lazily, Li Zheng followed Li Tai to the cornfield, where many villagers were already looking at the corn.

It has been almost four months since the corn was planted in March.

These corns matured much faster than I thought.

Glancing at the yellowed and sparse corn silk, Li Zheng broke off one, peeled it off, and took a look. The grains were very full, and it seemed that the variety was much better than he wanted.

After breaking off a few more in different positions, Li Zheng confirmed: "They are all cooked, so break them all off."

The villagers began to harvest corn, and Li Tai asked, "Li Zheng, is this also food?"

"Of course, we've got popcorn to eat today."

Li Tai chased and asked, "What kind of flower is popcorn?"

"It's not a flower, it's a snack."

Li Zheng took Li Tai to the beach.

The villagers have become accustomed to Li Zheng cooking while fishing on the beach.

There is often a pot on the beach, which is specially used by Li Zheng.

After setting up the pot, Li Zheng said to Li Tai, "rub all the corn kernels down."
