Datang Longya

Chapter 219

The national treasury is not just gold and silver, but the most important thing is grain reserves.

Datang is based on agriculture, and the treasury reserves a large amount of grain. When a large army is dispatched, the grain and grass needed are mobilized from the treasury. If there is a drought or flood in a state capital, most of the grain and grass for disaster relief will also come from the treasury.

At this time, a country's food reserves can be said to be the most important. If the food reserves are insufficient and the people are unable to provide relief in disasters, public anger will be aroused.If the imperial court imposes taxes too severely, it will also arouse public anger.

Therefore, when the Great Tang Dynasty Hall encountered problems related to grain reserves, no matter how big or small it was, it was of paramount importance. As the heaviest consumption of food and grass, "sending troops" has always been a matter for the entire court to participate in.

Li Ke didn't care much about his father's question: "It's just food and grass supplies. It's the same as money. The master is not here. The emperor is the biggest leader in Tianxialou. It's only an army of more than 2 people. Tianxialou can afford it." .”

"Forehead………"

Li Shimin originally thought that the question of "grain and grass" was enough to overwhelm Li Ke, but Li Ke directly confronted him with "money".

Money is something that cannot be eaten or drunk, but it can be exchanged for delicacies, wine and delicacies. If the imperial court provides food and grass for an army of [-] to [-], Wei Zheng will be the first to refuse to agree, but if Tianxialou pays for it. It is estimated that Wei Zheng just complained about the two things that the prince commanded the prince's six rate when he was young, and the king of Shu led the prince's six rate when he was young.

Seeing that the third son looked confident, Li Shimin really couldn't think of any more reasons to refuse, so he could only sigh and tell the emperor's conjecture last night.

Li Ke was dumbfounded after listening to it. He didn't expect that he would get on the head before listening to the words of the emperor's grandfather, and then provoked the emperor's brother to get on the head. The rate went south.

Li Shimin counted the days, and said to Li Ke: "Count the days, the courses in your liberal arts college are almost over. If you really miss your master, you can go south and have a look, and urge your master to come back early. It's not good to be in Chang'an Enjoy the blessings, what are you going to do in Lingnan?"

Li Ke scratched his head, he was very confused now, he didn't even say goodbye, and walked towards the outside of the hall step by step.

Li Shimin shouted after the case: "Return the prince's seal to Chengqian, it is rude for you to take it."

Regardless of whether Li Ke heard it or not, Li Shimin smiled and continued to deal with government affairs. Before, he was a little worried about the three children going out of the palace to study, but now that little bit has disappeared.

The eldest son was able to "generously" give the prince's seal to his younger brother, which exceeded his expectations. The third son was able to hold the prince's seal to meet him in a dignified way, which shows that he has no ghosts in his heart.

This is good, this is good!
He absolutely does not want his son to experience the same struggles as his father and uncle, and in the end there will be no trace of brotherhood, or even meet each other in battle.

While he was meditating with the memorial, Long Ying had already written the secret letter and handed it to Li Shimin's desk.

Li Shimin looked at the densely packed Arabic numerals and felt his head hurt, so he asked Long Ying directly: "What did you write?"

Long Ying pointed to a section in the middle and said: "Except for the numbers here, everything else is useless. The front section of this section of numbers represents the number of pages of "Spring and Autumn", the middle represents the number of lines, and the last represents the number of words. In this way A combination of paragraphs is: 'Boss, Your Majesty asked you what you were doing in Lingnan and why you didn't come back.'”

"Transparency" is what Leng Feng said to Long Ying before he graduated. To follow the emperor, it is best to be completely transparent. Whatever the emperor asks, just say what you want. You must have no reservations in order to gain the emperor's trust.

Currently, Longying, Ergouzi, and Li Erniu have three people who have fully grasped this kind of cipher text, and used it to receive Leng Feng's secret orders, but today the emperor asked him, and he had to tell them all.

Li Shimin looked at the cipher text and clapped his hands: "Good way, good way, this way, even if the secret letter is intercepted, the enemy will not be able to understand it. Such a good way should be promoted to the whole army. You should I know the importance of this new type of ciphertext to the army."

Long Ying said: "In fact, Li Jing, the Duke of Wei, also has a cipher text similar to this one. After he got it, he has been researching how to make it understandable to illiterate people. After that, I don't know what to do. "

Li Shimin nodded. Since Li Jing did not report to the higher authorities, it means that he has not researched it yet.

Ciphertext that can be understood by illiterate people?interesting!
Li Shimin put the letter away, covered it with wax, and put it on the desk to wait for someone to pick it up. After a while, Zhang Wen came in.

Sending secret letters is most suitable for people in Baiqisi, and many people in Baiqisi are veterans in this field.

Looking at the words "Grandfather of the Kingdom of Yan" on it, Zhang Wen asked, "Your Majesty, will you send it right away?"

Li Shimin nodded: "Send it immediately, with the fastest speed."

After Zhang Wen heard the emperor's request clearly, he took the letter and left. Although Lingnan was far away, he was also confident that he could send the letter there with the fastest speed in Datang.

However, what he didn't know was that a letter from Leng Feng had already departed from Gaozhou at this time, and would arrive in Yueyang in a short time.

The fishing village's fleet has returned, and the waterway from Yueyang is marked. They traveled very smoothly. After arriving in Yueyang, Yuezhou Governor Feng Yanxiao will use the official post to deliver the letter, which is definitely faster than their Baiqisi.

………Dividing line………

Liu Shuwen played the piano for a period of time, and she was a little tired, so she put away the piano and stopped playing. Ever since she found out that she was pregnant, she had learned a lot from Mrs. Feng. She never dared to tire herself out.

The scent of grilled fish wafted over, smelling the scent, Liu Shuwen's stomach began to protest, so she handed the piano to Li Erniu, who was rubbing his throat, and went to Leng Feng to eat.

Leng Feng is grilling the fish, the fish meat has turned golden brown under his patient roasting, and no place has become burnt black.

Seeing Liu Shuwen approaching, Leng Feng pointed to an earthen pot beside the fire: "There are your things, grilled fish is junk food after all, you can't eat it."

Liu Shuwen sat next to Leng Feng and pouted: "But I just want to eat your fish."

In the past, Liu Shuwen would not have acted like a spoiled child to Leng Feng outside, but now she has, no, the gold medal for avoiding death, and she had a good time today, so she said such things to Leng Feng.

Leng Feng stretched out his free hand and touched Liu Shuwen's stomach: "It was possible before, but not now. Now you are eating for two."

　Thank you for the rewards from Zouchaliang and Xiaocheng~
