Datang Longya

Chapter 574 Taking office
Li Shimin looked at the peanuts uncertainly. He didn't think it was too hot, so he squeezed one and stuffed it into his mouth.

Although he was exhaling from the heat, Li Shimin still held out his thumb: "The taste of this stuff is really good! To be honest, how much peanuts have you harvested? Share some with me!"

Leng Feng pointed to the small bag at the door: "That's all, the rest will be kept as seeds, how about we each have half?"

half each?
Li Shimin looked at Leng Feng speechlessly, only Leng Feng could say this, the others probably gave all of them, and asked if there was enough, and handed over the seeds if they were not enough.

Looking at the small bag, Li Shimin sighed: "Such a small amount is probably enough to eat four or five times. This is the case when there are few seeds. I can't wait for it to be everywhere in the next year."

Before Li Shimin and Leng Feng finished grabbing the peanuts, two more dishes were served.

One is beef stew with potatoes, and the other is corn with pine nuts.

Li Shimin praised the beef stew with potatoes and thought it was delicious, but he didn't like pine nut corn very much, thinking that it should be eaten by women and children, so he gave it and the rest of peanuts to the long-awaited Leng compete.

Two people sweated profusely eating beef stew with potatoes, and it was even more enjoyable with sour plum soup.But when the grilled corn came up, Leng Feng became worried.

The corn that was broken off after the plants withered and turned yellow was hard in every way. Although he had tried his best to pick the tender ones, they were still gnawing.

Li Shimin likes to eat like this very much, he can't stop chewing.

"Actually, when the plant is still a little green, it is most suitable to break it off and eat it boiled or roasted. But at that time, Wuli Sima almost hung my old Li on the flagpole, saying that the grain cannot be moved."

Li Shimin said with a smile: "In the beginning, parents starved to death, and did not eat the crops. The two of us ate so much, and we will grow less in the coming year. I don't know how much."

Leng Feng said helplessly: "Anyway, you can eat it in a few years, but eating it now is just a waste. By the way, you have to take care of these two things, if they are exported to foreign countries."

Li Shimin nodded: "You can rest assured that there will be no mistakes."

Li Shimin and his wife returned to the palace after eating a corn.

This way of hiding it from everyone and going out of the palace to do things that others consider to be a serious crime actually made them feel a little bit of excitement and joy.

Leng Feng didn't steal many potatoes and corn, and apart from giving one to Sun Simiao to meet his requirements for experimenting with medicine, it was only enough to taste it with a few of his closest friends.

Zhang Zhongqing has always told the truth: "Everyone said they starved to death."

Leng Feng glanced at him like that: "Then you dig out the potato pieces in your mouth first."

Zhang Zhongqing snorted, swallowed the potatoes and asked, "You were busy harvesting a few days ago, and I haven't asked you how your trip to Shannan Road is going!"

Li Xiaogong smiled and said: "What else can I do? If he didn't vent your anger for you, how dare he come back openly?"

Leng Feng nodded: "I don't know if it's enough to force him to hang himself?"

Zhang Zhongqing immediately gave a thumbs up!Being able to torment people to suicide is enough for him to vent his anger.

Leng Feng took the opportunity to say: "In a few years, I may have to leave Chang'an. If I go with the old man Du Wei in the old house, the Dragon Tooth Army will also have to take it with me. This time, you can't reduce the gunpowder equipment for me!"

Zhang Zhongqing said helplessly: "When you go out of Chang'an, the protection cannot be weak. But let me tell you first, if you still want to blow up a rock or something, don't waste it with the thunder of the weapon standard! Write to me and I will make it for you. !"

Before Leng Feng was going to blow up the reefs of the waterway in Sanquan County, but he wasted all the thunder brought by the Dragon Tooth Army. It was not until later that Jinglei with additional ingredients came that he accelerated his speed.

Li Jing and Li Xiaogong laughed at this.

After the laughter died down, Li Jing said: "Yesterday, Du Ruhui was suddenly demoted to be the Minister of the Ministry of War, and the position of Minister of the Ministry of War was vacated. It seems that a new Minister of the Ministry of War is about to be appointed. Do you have any gossip about this? ?”

Li Xiaogong shook his head: "No, the emperor kept his mouth shut. Even Du Ruhui just smiled and said nothing, and said that I would never guess who it was. I guessed for a day and found that there is really no suitable candidate!"

Leng Feng knocked on the table and pointed at himself.

The three looked at him together and asked in unison, "You know?"

Leng Feng nodded, then pointed at himself.

Li Xiaogong's eyes widened: "No way!"

The wine glasses in Li Jing's hand were all poured on the table: "Is it true?"

Zhang Zhongqing said directly: "You? I'm afraid you are going to harm the Ministry of War!"

"Why did I become a disaster to the Ministry of War!"

Leng Feng was very surprised, why didn't Zhang Zhongqing express his congratulations, but also said this?

Zhang Zhongqing sneered and said: "You don't have any points in your heart? Look at what you are doing, isn't it a shopkeeper? You dumped it to Mr. Han Chongwen at the Academy of Arts, you dumped it to me in Jinglei, and you dumped it to Lao Yuan in Tianxialou , You dumped the bank to Zhang Wei. What do you have now that you directly manage? When you enter the Ministry of War, you probably have to dump it to Du Ruhui, and let him give up his position for nothing!"

"Fart! Then let's see!"

Leng Feng hates others looking down on him the most, isn't he just a minister of the Ministry of War?
But the next day, when he officially took over the Ministry of War, he was dumbfounded.

The Ministry of War manages all matters related to war and soldiers, even the change of defense at the border can only be changed after the Ministry of War agrees.

Standing beside Leng Feng, Du Ruhui smiled wryly and said, "It's like this, so during this period of time, we are the civil servants who serve as ministers of the Ministry of War. Ordinary warriors would feel dizzy reading these notes."

Leng Feng opened a booklet, and saw that it read: The Grassland Frontier Army has been stationed for one year, and they are applying for a change of defense.

Leng Feng couldn't believe it: "Switch defenses in one year?"

Du Ruhui nodded: "That's right, there is no shit in the grassland. The soldiers are tortured in the grassland, so they change their defenses once a year."

Leng Feng shook his head: "No way! After changing defenses, the new soldiers have to adapt to the grasslands, and they are not very familiar with the Turkic people on the border. Isn't this a wrong approach?"

Du Ruhui said helplessly: "But these are all determined by His Majesty, we just need to sign it, so why bother?"

Leng Feng shook his head: "This can't be done, this matter is not something that can be settled, I will present this matter at the court meeting tomorrow."

Du Ruhui persuaded, "Do you know that the soldiers will complain about you if you do this?"

Leng Feng nodded: "Then find a way to improve their garrison environment. What the grassland lacks is nothing more than vegetables. My family has a lot of greenhouses. Just pick some vegetables that won't freeze and send them there."

This is a major matter related to border defense, so don't be careless!
