Chapter 421 Li Shimin's Annoyance

"Your Majesty, this year not only have disasters continued in various places in the Tang Dynasty, but also in Turks and other places. As early as the beginning of the year, many cattle and sheep in Turks and other places froze to death. The cattle and sheep they raised were not enough for their hozens. eat.

Nowadays, there are not many cattle and sheep left in Turkic and other places, and with the war, the cattle and sheep are even more scarce.

And my Tang Dynasty will build cities and set up Zhechong mansions in Turkic and other places. There are millions of Tang survivors there, and the food shortage will naturally be huge! "

Fang Xuanling immediately cupped his hands and explained.

"What kind of solutions can the Minister of State and the Ministry of Education have?"

Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others and asked, in fact, Li Shimin also understands these principles, but he just looks upset.

"Your Majesty, forgive me. I believe that for the current plan, we must first meet the food and grass of Li Jing and other five-way northern expedition troops. As for the remaining Turkic hozen and those survivors of the Tang Dynasty, we can only slaughter some sheep to fill their hunger, and then go from here. Jiangnan and other places began to mobilize grain and send it to Lingzhou."

Fang Xuanling said slowly.

On the side, Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui also agreed.

"Your Majesty, a concrete road has been paved from Chang'an to Luoyang, and the speed of food delivery is at least twice as fast as before."

"But it will take at least a month to collect food from the south. In this way, can the millions of survivors of the Tang Dynasty in Lingzhou and other places be able to wait?"

Li Shimin was a little puzzled.

"This?"

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others all looked helpless.

"Your Majesty, there is nothing we can do about this matter. We can only increase grain from Guanzhong and Lingzhou. As for those Turkic hozen and the survivors of the Tang Dynasty, since they can live in Turkic and other places for so long, there must be them. way of survival."

Hearing this, Li Shimin sighed softly, and helplessness flashed in his eyes.

This method is indeed the best method at present.

"Your Majesty, Qingzhou Zhechong Mansion Cheng Duanbo has sent an urgent report!"

At this time, Li Wei walked in quickly with a book of memorials in his hand.

"Bring it to me." Li Shimin said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Hearing this, Li Wei hurriedly sent the memorial.

Li Shimin quickly unfolded it and looked at it.

On the other side, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and the others also looked anxious, looking closely at the memorial in Li Shimin's hand.

They all knew that Cheng Duanbo was sent to Qingzhou as the captain of Zhechong.

Suddenly, Li Shimin was overjoyed and clapped his hands excitedly.

"Good, very good!"

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, but what kind of happy event happened in Qingzhou?"

Changsun Wuji and the others felt relieved, but they still asked curiously.

"Xuanba took the two giant ships from Zhechong Mansion in Qingzhou out to sea for fishing, and after just circling the sea, he easily caught thousands of giant fish!"

"Your Majesty, is it really thousands of stones?"

Hearing this, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and the others subconsciously widened their eyes, their faces full of shock, and hurriedly asked Li Shimin.

"Qingzhou Zhechong Duwei, Cheng Duanbo, will definitely not deceive me about this matter!"

Li Shimin said with great joy.

At the same time, thinking of something, he looked up at Li Wei who was beside him.

"Quickly find King Hejian!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Wei hurriedly cupped his hands in response, and ran out quickly.

"Auxiliary machine, Xuanling, within an hour after the two big ships went out to sea, they could catch thousands of sea fish. In that day, wouldn't it be possible for the two giant ships to catch at least six thousand stones of sea fish.

And if there are four giant ships, they can catch at least tens of thousands of sea fish in a day! "

Li Shimin handed the memorial to Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and the others, and said with joy on his face.

"Your Majesty, if fishing in the sea is as simple as Cheng Duanbo said, it must be a blessing for me, Tang!"

Du Ruhui also said with great joy.

"Xuanling, what do you think of this matter?" Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling again.

"Returning to Your Majesty, when I was young, I went to the sea with some playmates. The sea fish in the sea are relatively fat and the meat is very delicious.

Moreover, according to the fishermen in the sea, there are indeed more fish in the sea. If you are lucky, you will encounter a school of fish. Thousands of big fish will walk together in the sea. There will be thousands of fish in one net. A big fish with tens of thousands of stones! "

Fang Xuanling is from Linzi, Qizhou, only a hundred miles away from Qingzhou.

Therefore, when I was a child, I often went to the sea to watch the sea and fish with some playmates who were also the second generation of officials.

"So, what Cheng Duanbo said is indeed feasible!"

Li Shimin said slowly.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, if it is really possible to fish like this, then the shortage of food in the Tang Dynasty can be greatly alleviated!"

Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and the others all clapped their hands in congratulation with joy on their faces.

Hearing this, Li Shimin's face was also full of joy.

Soon, Li Xiaogong also walked in from outside the palace with an anxious expression on his face.

"Minister Li Xiaogong sees Your Majesty!"

"Quick and free!"

Li Shimin said with a happy face.

Seeing this, Li Xiaogong's expression relaxed, it seemed that it wasn't his bastard who caused trouble in Qingzhou.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, what happened to the general in such a hurry?"

"Qingzhou Zhechong Duwei Cheng Duanbo sent a memorial, you have a look!"

Li Shimin handed the memorial to Li Xiaogong, and said with a light smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Regarding this, Li Xiaogong didn't continue to be polite, he quickly took the memorial and read it.

"Thousand stone big fish?"

After reading it, Li Xiaogong subconsciously exclaimed.

Afterwards, he bowed his hands to Li Shimin with a happy face, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, there are so many big fish in the sea. As long as my Datang dispatches dozens of big boats, I can catch hundreds of thousands of big fish every day. Don will never be short of food again!"

"Xiao Gong also thinks that this matter has great potential?"

Li Shimin asked expectantly.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the sea is vast and boundless, and there are indeed many sea fish in it. However, the sea is too far away from the hinterland of our Tang Dynasty, and those sea fish will die without water, and it is difficult to transport them back to Guanzhong and Guannei and other places!"

After thinking for a moment, Li Xiaogong's face flashed a look of embarrassment again.

"Ugh!"

After listening, Li Shimin was disappointed again, "It's a pity that there are so many big fish!"

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince's memorial, the King of Jin's memorial!"

At this time, Li Wei walked in with two memorials in his hand with a strange expression on his face.

"Gao Ming and Xuan Ba?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin was also surprised.

However, I hurriedly concluded the memorial and read it.

And Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and the others also looked curiously at the two memorials in Li Shimin's hands.

Regarding Li Chengqian's memorial, Li Shimin glanced at it, and then hurriedly read it.

As for Li Xuan's memorial, Li Shimin read it very seriously.

After a long while, he handed Li Xuan's memorial to Fang Xuanling, Li Xiaogong and others with a happy face.

"What Gao Ming and Xuan Ba ​​played is the same as Cheng Duanbo. However, in Xuan Ba's play, there are two ways to transport those sea fish back to Chang'an City, and make the sea fish as fresh as when they went out to sea! "

"There is such a thaumaturgy?"

Fang Xuanling, Li Xiaogong and the others had a flash of astonishment on their faces, and they looked at it curiously.

"Using ice cubes to freeze big fish can keep sea fish fresh and not smelly for a month!"

"Marinate the cleaned sea fish with coarse salt, and after drying it, it will be crisp and delicious, rich in nutrition, and it is also light and easy to carry!"

After watching it, Li Xiaogong, Fang Xuanling and the others couldn't help being excited.
