Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 144 Passed
Yes, Li Tai's positioning of white sugar is a military product, not a luxury product, let alone a product that just needs to be popularized in the hands of the whole people.

Because if it is really said that it is going to popularize all the people, Li Tai dares to say it, and Feng An can't believe it!
Therefore, the munitions were purchased directly, because the value of the munitions was enough for Feng An to cooperate.

For Li Tai, military supplies are also easy to control, after all, he only intends to lay a foundation in Lingnan, and he doesn't want to develop extensively.

Under such circumstances, the military supplies themselves are enough for the imperial court to invest a certain degree of development resources there.

When I want to develop Lingnan, the production technology and planting scale of sugarcane have reached a certain level.

Under such circumstances, it will not be so difficult to transfer this technology from military to civilian.

"I want to use sucrose as munitions!" Feng An was a little stunned, he naturally understood the value of munitions.

If sucrose can really become a munitions product, then Lingnan, where he is located, will definitely be valued by Datang.

But it's not that Feng An has never eaten sucrose, so he doubted: "Can sucrose still be used as military supplies?"

"Yes!" Li Tai resolutely said, "After eating sucrose, there will be heat generated. Eating one before the battle can increase the physical strength of the soldiers. Moreover, this thing has a sweet taste and is easy to store. When it is necessary to boost the morale of the soldiers At this time, let the soldiers eat one, I believe it will be of great benefit to the stability of morale!"

To be honest, a substance like sugar is really close to a drug, and it will definitely have a certain degree of soothing effect on the battlefield.

When Feng An heard Li Tai's description of sugar's prospects on the battlefield, he couldn't help thinking about it. To be honest, he really didn't think about using sugar in war, but he had to say that Li Tai's words really touched his heart.

Feng Ang was silent for a while and said,
"King Yue, if you only let me take care of the students, Lingnan is remote and sparsely populated, if I can help, then I will.

Now that sucrose can be used as military supplies, it makes me hesitate. "

"Shangzhu Kingdom has no hesitation. Since I hope to cooperate with you, I also hope that the two of us can exchange views frankly and seek common ground while reserving differences. Only then can we be consistent." Li Tai said calmly.

"The king of Yue told me about this matter, are you not afraid that I will abandon the king of Yue and plant sugar cane privately to make sucrose?"

Feng An's eyes fixed on Li Taidao,
"After all, this thing was produced in the Lingnan area, I can decide with one word."

"What am I supposed to do!" Li Tai said with a smile when he heard Feng An's words, "You want to make money, it's not shabby.

At that time, remember to pay taxes to the court, or make up for the military supplies of this sugar.

As far as I am concerned, if Shangzhu Kingdom is willing to give me this share of benefits, then it will be regarded as my shareholding.

If Shang Zhuguo thinks that the agricultural college is not worth the price, then it doesn't matter. "

Li Tai shook his head and continued: "What I need may not be to get this money.

As long as Shangzhu Kingdom is willing to invest in it, for Thailand, it doesn't really matter whether it makes this money or not! "

To be honest, what Li Tai said was not a lie, because the most basic thing Li Tai wanted was to let the Agricultural Institute station some staff there and guide Feng An to develop the sugarcane industry.

If Feng An doesn't give money, then it's better not to give money.

After all, Li Tai's current status is not enough, and Feng An will naturally make up the debt if his status is enough.

To a certain extent, he can be regarded as a piggy bank, which will be smashed in the future. I don't know if there is any money, but there must be sucrose.

Feng Ang felt that although Li Tai said that the wind was calm, but if he really didn't give money and thought together, the intuition accumulated over decades of fighting on the battlefield would make him feel that the wind was gusty, as if it was very dangerous look.

However, Feng An naturally didn't expect that Li Tai had planned to use himself as a piggy bank the first time he saw him.

"Hahaha!" Feng An laughed loudly and said proudly, "The King of Yue treats me with sincerity, how can I be stingy.

If this little sucrose can really be used as military supplies, then King Yue's guidance will be indispensable!
However, it's not that I, Feng An, underestimated the King of Yue, but if I want this thing to really become a military supply, I'm afraid it's not enough for the King of Yue to nod! "

"En!" Li Tai nodded and said, "It's just that my words are not enough, but if you try to use sucrose as a military supply, I believe everyone from Aye to soldiers will give me face and try it."

Li Tai's words are not just bragging, but he really has the capital.

After all, although the chicken jerky I researched at the beginning was a bit staggeringly consumed, it has become a military supply that the Ministry of War purchases steadily. Especially Li Jing personally experienced that it is really good for the cavalry to carry this thing.

And Li Tai made a further suggestion. It is better for soldiers to carry a frying pan in the north. It can withstand arrows from a distance, can be used as a weapon at a distance, and can be used to cook food when resting. It is really an essential artifact for soldiers to fight.

After Li Jing looked at the ironware needed for the iron pot, he dismissed this stupid suggestion.

Wouldn’t it be good to make more armor-piercing arrows with this money, gun heads or mo knives? Who goes to the battlefield with a frying pan? Is the battlefield a tourist?

Of course, that's exactly what happened, Li Tai had an extra name of Unknown Soldier in his mind.

But it doesn't matter to Li Tai, anyway, sometimes when he thinks of something, he writes a letter to the Ministry of War to mention it to Li Jing.

The most important thing is that when some materials exploded, Li Tai thought about whether to convert them into military supplies and sell them to the Ministry of War, so as to ensure high quality and low price, and satisfy the demand for large quantities.

In Li Jing's eyes, Li Tai's sometimes suggestions are indeed extravagant and prodigal, but some supplies, especially medicinal materials, are really delicious.

Therefore, if it is just a simple addition of one kind of material, Li Tai can still be justified in the military.

When Feng An heard Li Tai's words, he saluted and said, "If King Yue can settle this matter, then I will give you three benefits!"

Because if this matter is really done by hand, it must be planting sugarcane in Lingnan to make sucrose, and then sell it to the Ministry of War. To Feng An, the three layers are to thank Li Tai for finding such a channel.

Li Tai just smiled, and said politely, "Then thank Shangzhu Kingdom."

Hearing this, Feng Zhidai felt a little distressed, but Li Tai agreed directly.

This made Feng Zhidai feel that his father's quotation was a bit high, which is why King Yue agreed so decisively.

It hurts so much!

But Feng Ang frowned. Judging from his experience, Feng Zhidai felt that it must be abnormal for Li Tai to agree so quickly.

But Feng An prefers that Li Tai doesn't care, because he doesn't care, so he owes him no time to bargain with him.

Although Feng An and Feng Zhidai had doubts in their hearts, at least the atmosphere of the exchange between the two parties was not bad.

As the matter was being discussed, it was time to watch the polo game, which was still very exciting.

Soon, after this matter was settled, Feng An and Feng Zhidai returned to their mansion.

Feng Zhidai looked at his father and said, "Is father going to cooperate with King Yue?"

"Why not!" Feng An looked at Feng Zhidai and said calmly.

"But getting involved with King Yue, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles in the future!" Feng Zhidai was full of worry.

"It's still the same sentence, the king of Yue gave us benefits, we just accept it, there is nothing to worry about!"

Feng An said, "Don't have to say, the king of Yue gave me a favor, so it's not too much for the crown prince to come and give me a share.

We'll accept both, and just stay in Lingnan.

How old is the king of Yue, so when the battle is in dire straits, he can just find an excuse to go to Lingnan and stay at ease! "

"But the crown prince is afraid that he won't be able to offer such a price as the king of Yue!" Feng Zhidai said with a wry smile.

"Is the prince looking down on us guys from the backcountry?" Hearing this, Feng An couldn't help asking.

"The prince is not as rich as the king of Yue..." Feng Zhidai felt a little helpless at the moment.

After all, at any time, the solicitation is basically to give money, to beauties, at most, to give some rare treasures or something.

But Li Tai never did this. He didn't do anything false, and just gave you a channel, and even gave you land.

No matter how upright the family is, when faced with the price offered by Li Tai, not to mention being bought immediately, at least they are all shaken!

The prince couldn't offer anything equivalent at all, so he could only watch Li Tai throwing money helplessly.

More importantly, although what Li Tai brought out seemed unbelievable, some of it was even just a promise.

But what Li Tai really can do is not just bragging, but turning the promise into reality.

Under such circumstances, no matter how neutral a person is, they will be gradually drawn over by Li Tai.

Thinking about it, only those loyal people who treat money like dung can resist Li Tai's money offensive.

To a certain extent, Li Tai established an organization, bought it with money, worked hard, and planned step by step. All of this looks like a villain. In other stories, it would be a villain who will be killed by a certain destiny protagonist. Killed by the explosion.

Obviously, whether it is Feng An or Feng Zhidai, it is unrealistic to say that they are loyal to Li Tang.

Now Li Tai is not here to give money, but to point out the development direction of Lingnan, hoping to help Lingnan Road to have special products.

If this sucrose really becomes a munitions product, and the effect can be confirmed, then the development of Lingnan is naturally just around the corner.

And Feng Zhi Daizi may not have feelings for the Lingnan area after staying in Chang'an for a long time, but what about Feng An!

He has basically spent half of his life on the land of Lingnan. Now that he has an opportunity to develop Lingnan, isn't he not interested?

While Feng An and Feng Zhidai were discussing, Li Tai went back and had a good sleep.

The next day, I went directly to Chang'an to find Li Shimin. After all, if the censor found out about this kind of discussion with Shangzhu Kingdom who was out of town, he might sue him, so I went to meet Li Shimin by myself and told him about it. It's good to be clear.

In fact, Li Shimin received this information that day. Although Li Shimin was curious about what Li Tai had talked with Feng An, he didn't want to seize the heir apparent.

After all, Li Tai has always been diligent and dedicated to the public.

Moreover, Li Shimin actually placed a lot of people around Li Tai, and even Li Tai's diary could be rubbed and sent to him without anyone noticing.

So Li Shimin believed that if Li Tai had something important to do with Feng An, it would be recorded in the diary, so Li Shimin was most at ease with Li Tai.

Compared with anyone else, Li Tai doesn't have to guess what's on his mind!

With such a son, and one of his own sons, how could Li Shimin not like it and worry about it.

However, Li Shimin did not expect that Li Tai would rush from Gaoling to Chang'an the next day to meet him.

Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it's Datang's luck that this child is so heartless.

"Meet Aye!" Li Tai saluted Li Shimin.

"Wai Li, what's the matter, you came to Chang'an specially today?" Li Shimin asked Li Tai curiously.

"Yesterday, I met with Feng An from Shangzhu Kingdom and learned about some specialties from Lingnan.

Knowing that sucrose comes from Lingnan, I hope that Shangzhu Kingdom can increase the production of sucrose.

And I came to ask Aye for a chance to make sucrose a military supply! "

Li Tai told Li Shimin what happened yesterday very sincerely.

"Oh, you want to make bridges for Feng An, can this sucrose be used as military supplies?" Li Shimin wondered.

After all, it's not like I haven't eaten this thing before. Although it's sweet, it's still far away from military supplies.

"Yeah!" Li Tai nodded, "This kind of thing is easy to carry when it's in a block, and it can be used to boost morale or calm the spirit.

Even when there is really no food, using this boiled water for half a day is always enough. "

Li Tai didn't say anything about energy, after all, it's too fake to talk about this kind of thing without data, and Li Shimin might not be able to understand it.

But in terms of morale directly, Li Shimin naturally understood the value of this kind of thing immediately.

Even compared to improving morale, Li Shimin is more interested in the effect of this thing on calming the spirit.

It is also common for many recruits to be mentally disturbed on the battlefield. If this thing can be used to appease and help them get over it, then the value will be even greater.

"Since there is only one additional military supply, I will give the pharmacist an order to let the Ministry of War purchase sucrose to try."

Li Shimin didn't listen to Li Tai's hype and immediately agreed, but no matter what, it's okay to try this kind of thing.

However, just as Li Tai said, because of the success of the chicken jerky, Li Shimin was very interested in Li Tai's proposal to improve logistics, and was willing to give Li Tai a corresponding opportunity.

As for Feng An, to be honest, Li Shimin was not worried that Feng An would rebel against Datang.

After all, as long as Feng Ang dared to rebel, the Eastern Turks had been resolved, and Li Shimin, who had no worries about the future, would dare to kill him.

Even though the roads in the south of the Five Ridges are rough, the distance is long, and the poisonous barriers are pervasive, they cannot withstand the sweep of the Tang Iron Army.

In contrast, giving Feng An this benefit will further strengthen his connection with the court and make it easier for the court to manage Lingnan.
