The heavens start from saving Daming

Chapter 368 The people of the world are looking for breakfast, and Yunze produces a magic weapon

The night before, Li Shimin thought that Li Yunze might be a Turkic with a brain problem.

But on the second night, after hearing the report from Wu Yan, the captain of the Baiqi Division, he immediately lost his composure.

"You said he brought fifty cattle out of the yard?"

Li Shimin stared, full of disbelief, "Did Fang Qing leave it in that yard?"

"His Majesty."

Wu Yan's expression was extremely dignified, "I assure His Majesty with the head of Xiang Shang, there are no farming cattle in Fang Gong's courtyard. Before even checking, let alone farming cattle, even the dogs were there when Fang Gong's people left Take away."

After a moment of silence, Li Shimin finally asked, "Where did the fifty cattle come from?"

This question really hit the point, Wu Yan had no way to explain it, so he could only be speechless.

Li Shimin, who felt a supernatural event, paced back and forth for a while with his hands behind his back, then stopped and called out, "Go call Fang Qing into the palace!"

Wu Yan didn't bother to say that the palace ban had already been locked. Summoning important court officials to enter the palace at this time would cause noise and panic.

That's not something he needs to care about.

When Fang Xuanling was brought in front of Li Shimin, even with his strategic head, he didn't understand what was so urgent that he needed to enter the palace overnight.

Then, he learned from the emperor that Li Yunze brought fifty cattle from the yard of his house that used to belong to him.

"There are only six cattle in the village." Fang Xuanling's first reaction was to clear himself up first, "When I sold Zhuangzi to that person, I packed everything with me." Let's go. Not to mention the cattle, not even the dogs left behind

one. "

After clearing himself, he asked, "Is this serious?"

There is no reason not to doubt, after all, Datang's farming cattle are strategic materials, and each head must be registered in the Yamen.

Fifty heads popped up suddenly, and the first reaction must be to doubt whether it is true.

Wu Yan saluted with a serious expression, "I saw it with my own eyes, and I even found an opportunity to touch it and squeeze it. It is indeed a farm cow with a nose ring."

Fang Xuanling was waiting to ask again, but Li Shimin said flatly, "I believe him."

Just such a sentence made Wu Yan's eyes turn red, and he bent down to salute the emperor heavily.

Now Fang Xuanling has nothing to say.

The emperor wins people's hearts, how can he play a negative role.

"This matter. If it is not a cover-up, I can't figure it out." Fang Xuanling shook his head repeatedly, and then saluted the emperor. "Your Majesty, as soon as the city gate opens tomorrow, I will go and see for myself what is going on."

"I'll go with you!"

This night, many people suffered from insomnia.

When the city gate opened at dawn, Li Shimin, with red eyes, rode his horse and led a large group of people straight to Zhuangzi.

He was too impatient and came too early.

When we entered Zhuangzi, breakfast had just started here.

Seeing the appearance of a large number of knights, the people in the village were a little flustered, but not very frightened.

After all, this place is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, right on the edge of Chang'an City.Hundreds of thousands of troops guarded the city of Chang'an from all directions, and no horse thief or bandit dared to slaughter Zhuangzi in broad daylight.That's not asking for money, that's digging graves and erecting monuments for the whole family.

According to the custom, it is natural that the old man stepped forward to salute, "May I ask why you are here at Lijiazhuang?"

"Hahaha~~~"

Fang Xuanling, who also followed on horseback, laughed three times after getting off, stepped forward and said, "This is Fang Xuanling, the Zhuangzi here was sold by a certain family to the owner Li Zhuang the day before yesterday."

The common people didn't know that Fang Xuanling was an important minister in the court. After all, a group of illiterates didn't even know the name of the emperor, let alone a certain minister.

It's just that seeing everyone's luxurious clothes and extraordinary bearing, they must be the nobles in the city, and they can only be submissive if they don't dare to neglect.

Over there, Li Shimin couldn't bear this kind of politeness, so he walked directly to the largest courtyard in the village, where the owner lived, with his horsewhip in his hand.

But when he was about to reach the door, he stopped in his tracks.

Because I went around the house and saw dozens of cattle tied to a row of weeping willows by the stream not far away.

Li Shimin immediately stepped over, and without saying a word, he waved his whip and lashed the old cow a few times.

What is seeing is believing, this is it.

It is true that fifty cattle are tied here.

After confirming, Li Shimin frowned and turned to look at the old man, "It's cold in early spring, why don't you send the cattle into the cowshed? Just tie them outside like this, what a loss if they fall ill!"

The people on Zhuangzi looked at each other in blank dismay, what they said was like a cow in their family.

Li Shimin's position is wrong, no matter how you explain it, he is also wrong.

It is precisely because of this that he wants to work hard to prove himself, to prove that being the emperor is the most correct choice, and that he can do better than his elder brother.

The Datang he took over was not as rich as many people imagined.

In fact, after the continuous fighting in the last years of the Sui Dynasty, the 72th Route against the King and the [-]nd Route of Smoke and Dust galloped freely, and the national power of the Tang Dynasty was actually very weak.

Not to mention a large-scale reduction in population, productivity has also dropped significantly.

Moreover, his old man, Li Yuan, wantonly divided the land, and many people were rewarded with tens of thousands of acres of land just because they were eloquent and pleased with Li Yuan.

Coupled with the Turkic harassment, the disasters in various places continued, which can be regarded as a series of natural and man-made disasters.

Therefore, for Li Shimin, who is determined to prove himself, every human being is an important labor force, and every farm ox is an important means of production.

It is not difficult to understand why he was angry and tied the cattle outside.

The atmosphere in the threshing floor was a bit awkward, but fortunately at this time the female relatives brought out breakfast from various houses.

The hot Hubing and the rice porridge filled the cauldron immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Li Shimin, as if no one else was around, simply stepped forward, reached out and took out a piece of mustache from the basket.

Before he could say anything, Wu Yan rushed over and stretched out his hand.

Li Shimin frowned, reached out and stuffed the Hubing into his hand.

Wu Yan ate and chewed, and then reported, "It still smells like sugar after brushing with oil."

Li Shimin looked at the rice porridge in the cauldron.

Over there, Fang Xuanling came over with a smile and saluted everyone, "I'm sorry for bothering you, I'm tired from the journey and haven't eaten yet, I hope you can forgive me for buying some food."

After finishing speaking, he snatched the bowl full of rice porridge from Wu Yan, drank it up Xilihulu and smashed his mouth, "It tastes really good, and it also has sugar in it."

Datang also has sugar.

The tenth volume of "Qi Min Yao Shu" has written about many non-Chinese crops, and the No. 20 one is sugar cane.

As early as the pre-Qin period, there was "Zhe", and it was called "sugar" in the Han Dynasty.

When the Silk Road was opened, the stone honey that came from India was sucrose.

Sugarcane has existed in China for a long time, and the sugar rolling technology was introduced later, and sugar was successfully obtained through this technology.

So Datang has sugar, but ordinary people basically can't afford it.

Li Shimin pushed away Wu Yan who was blocking him, and filled a bowl of rice porridge and drank it all himself.

It tastes good and is indeed full of sugar.

Because of this, Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling in astonishment, "Why?"

Indeed, the price of granulated sugar is not low, that is, only noble families can afford it.To actually feed these refugees in front of them expensive candy, is there something wrong with their brains, and is there panic caused by Qian Sao?

Li Yunze gave sugar to the refugees just to supplement their sugar and make their bodies stronger as soon as possible.

Datang's sugar is expensive because the output is small and the quality is not high.

What Li Yunze got was white sugar produced industrially in the modern world.

Of course, buying white sugar on a large scale in the modern world is not an easy task, not a matter of price.

It's just that there is no obstacle for Li Yunze to buy anything now, it's very smooth.

Li Shimin waved his hand, "Buy these rice porridge and Hubing."

The refugees showed dissatisfaction, this was their breakfast.

The old man over there waved his hands again and again, "I can't wait to be the master, the owner has to make up his mind."

Fang Xuanling nodded with a smile, "Then invite Master Li to come out and meet."

"The owner is still sleeping." The old man shook his head again and again, "The owner is very angry when he wakes up, I dare not disturb you."

Li Shimin rolled his eyes, and was about to order someone to shout, but the gate of the courtyard over there was opened.

The yawning Li Yunze came out, "I've been arguing so early in the morning, do you still have a sense of public morality?"

"Hahaha~~~"

Seeing the Lord come out, Fang Xuanling hastily stepped forward and shouted, "Li Langjun, the old man is here to bother you."

Li Yunze's gaze passed Fang Xuanling and landed on Li Shimin.

As soon as the eyes of the two made contact, they immediately became like glue. Bah!It's looking at each other.

After sizing up Li Shimin, he looked at those well-trained knights, and then looked back at Fang Xuanling, "Who is that?"

Fang Xuanling turned his head to look over, saw Li Shimin shaking his head slightly, and then responded with a smile, "I am an old friend of this old man, and I am from the same family as Mr. Lang."

Li Yunze nodded.

Since you're willing to pretend to be a tourist, I'll pretend not to see it either.

He walked up to Li Shimin and said, "Do you want to buy these biscuits and rice porridge?"

Li Shimin, who looked downcastly, stood with his hands behind his back, "Yeah."

"Okay." Li Yunze nodded and nodded, "Twelve taels of gold are all given to you, and the pot and basket are also free gifts."

"Lang Jun!"

Fang Xuanling chased after him, and said with a dark face, "This is too much. Ten taels of gold and one hundred guan are enough to buy several carts of rice noodles."

"It was you who wanted to buy it on your own initiative, not me rushing to sell it." Li Yunze reached out and picked up a piece of biscuit, "I am a businessman who pays attention to integrity, and I am willing to pay attention to your affection. If you don't want to spend money, you can grab it directly." Well. So many people are carrying swords, straight

Just grab this Zhuangzi. "

Fang Xuanling, who was dumbfounded, waited to persuade him, but Li Shimin waved his hand impatiently, "Give him ten taels of gold."

Then he greeted his knights to "eat."

Li Yunze also greeted the refugees, "Continue to make breakfast and make better ones."

He said doing better is indeed better.

Hubing was cut open and stuffed with minced meat.

Originally it was just rice porridge with added sugar, but it was just beaten eggs, added shredded pork, sprinkled with green onion and even sesame oil, and even put a few bowls of pickles on the table.

Comparing the two sides, Li Shimin suddenly felt that the mustache in his hand was not fragrant.

After eating enough, the dark-faced Li Shimin was about to go crazy.

But he saw Li Yunze directing the refugees to move the iron farm tools to the threshing ground.

Looking at the strangely shaped farm tool, he couldn't help but ask, "What is this?"

"Quyuan plow." Li Yunze stretched out his hand to signal, "The efficiency is many times that of the straight plow, and it is very suitable for cattle farming."

'Hiss~~~'

Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling both gasped.
