Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

Chapter 124: Du Ruhui was shocked, this great inflammation...

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty."

Guo Shoujing's face was solemn.

Li Kuan's few words were enough to let him understand the weight of this matter.

"Principal Guo, tell me, what exactly do you want to do?" Li Kuan personally poured a cup of tea for Guo Shoujing.

Guo Shoujing pondered for a moment.

"Your Majesty, our Dayan has a natural advantage. To the north are the Turks. The Turks and our Dayan are feuding. As long as General Chen sends out the white-robed army, with the strength of General Chen's army, if it is to plunder, then... Nai will naturally not What’s missing, after all, these are the most available in the Turks.”

"Eggs and meat, I plan to...our Dayan Hubu will raise them ourselves."

Guo Shoujing said slowly.

Li Kuan smiled calmly: "I got the milk from the Turks. This plan... is really good."

"However, it is not suitable for the Ministry of Household Affairs to raise eggs and meat by itself. In this way... Principal Guo, I will give you some information, and we, the Ministry of Household Affairs, will vigorously promote it."

"Eggs are something that the people have to bear for the time being. Based on our background, it is not too difficult for every household to raise a chicken, a duck, or a goose."

"Some families can even raise dozens of eggs. It's easy to popularize eggs in this way."

"As for meat... we need to consider many aspects. On the one hand, we support the people to feed their own food. On the other hand, we need your Ministry of Household Affairs to find Heshen and set up a special breeding farm with Heshen. And the livestock that produce meat , I have already chosen."

Li Kuan stood up and took out a few books from the nearby bookshelf.

"Signalology of Pigs", "Signals of Fattening Pigs", "Signals of Sows", "Signals of Piglets", "Handbook of Poultry Breeding", "Secrets of Modern Family Profitability"...

Li Kuan put these books on the table.

These books are sold in bookstores in Dayan.

In fact, many people have already started to take action. However, the court has not encouraged and guided them. Now that the Ministry of Household Affairs is not busy, naturally this matter must be arranged immediately.

Promulgate policies, guide and encourage the people, which will greatly speed up the breeding industry.

Guo Shoujing's eyes lit up, and he instantly understood what Li Kuan meant.

"Principal Guo, there are some things, please don't put all the pressure on yourself."

"These poultry and breeding operations require the mobilization of all the people of Dayan. The whole country will work hard and the whole country will work together. In this way... we can get twice the result with half the effort!"

Li Kuan said with a smile.

Guo Shoujing cupped his hands and nodded, then stood up and held all these books in his arms.

"My lord, thank you for your advice."

"Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I will go down to study this matter."

Li Kuan waved his hand: "Go."

Guo Shoujing laughed, immediately resigned and walked out.

A complete workaholic.

Li Kuan stretched out and looked at the sky. It was almost noon. He was just in time to take a nap, rest and wait for news from the Tang Dynasty mission.
.
…………………….
Outside the Great Yan Kingdom.

official road.

There was no official road to this place originally, but since the founding of Dayan, Li Kuan personally assigned manpower to build and maintain it.

Now half a year has passed, and it already has its own official path belonging to the Great Yan Empire.

now.

Du Ruhui, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, Kong Yingda...
They rode together.

Now that the day is just right, the wind is blowing on my body, and I feel extremely comfortable. Naturally, I don't want to take a carriage anymore.

"We are not far from Daxia, right? Why haven't we received Dayan's credentials yet? Could it be that... Dayan doesn't allow us to enter the country?"

Du Ruhui raised his head, looked forward, and frowned.

"Definitely not. I, the Tang Dynasty, are here to congratulate you. It's too late for the Great Yan King to be happy when he finds out."

"I guess... King Great Yan is setting up the capital to welcome our arrival."

Kong Yingda laughed confidently.

"Yes, yes, even the Turks have never enjoyed a battle like ours. If we can give them such a big favor for a small country established in such a wild land, what reason do they have to refuse?"

Yu Shinan agreed.

As soon as this statement came out, everyone chuckled.

"That's true! It's really not easy for Dayan to establish a country in such a harsh place!"

"And the Turks are eyeing the north, and Dayan is at war with Goguryeo. Now that the Tang Dynasty is showing our favor, they must be extremely excited!"

Kong Yingda guessed and smiled.

Very excited….
Cheng Yaojin, who has personally lived in the land of Dayan, has doubts about this.

He wanted to refute, but seeing that Kong Yingda and others were very interested and had their will, he did not refute.

Afraid of causing a war of words.

There are so many people like Kong Yingda.

And he, Cheng Yaojin, is the only one!
Yes, one person, one person~
No one has ever seen the greatness of that land with their own eyes, and no one would have imagined that a country with a mere population of 10,000+ would be so terrifying.

After all, population represents national strength.

Cheng Yaojin sighed again.

But Kong Yingda and others didn't know and were still talking.

"That's right! Dayan has already turned against Goguryeo and attacked Liang Guo. His relationship with the Turks must not be good either." Yu Shinan rubbed his belly with both hands: "Now that the Tang Dynasty is sending an envoy to Dayan, they will never dare to offend them again. we!"

"Otherwise... there are enemies on all sides. His Great Yan army is indeed powerful, but under such circumstances, even with three heads and six arms, it cannot withstand the encirclement and suppression of our three kingdoms."

Du Ruhui thought about it, it was indeed the truth.

"When we get to Dayan, everyone, please don't look down on others in front of them. We in the lobby are sincerely sending envoys to Dayan, so as not to let them think that we are disrespectful of etiquette."

Du Ruhui reminded.

At this moment, a scout hurried from the front.

"Prime Minister Du, Dayan's credentials have arrived!"

The scout respectfully handed the credentials in his hand to Du Ruhui.

This letter was naturally sent over after Chen Qingzhi ordered someone to write it.

"Good good!"

Du Ruhui took it, opened it and looked at the contents, and suddenly the last stone of worry in his heart fell to the ground.

He hurriedly looked at the content.

However, when Du Ruhui continued to look, his expression became increasingly stiff and the smile on his face disappeared.

"Keming, what's wrong?"

Qin Qiong on one side asked quickly.

Kong Yingda frowned and said in disbelief: "No way, Prime Minister Du, could it be that... Dayan doesn't welcome us?"

His face was full of displeasure.

"Sure enough, these barbarian lands don't understand any etiquette at all!"

"We, the Great Tang Dynasty, gave them a huge favor by sending them an envoy, but they actually treated us like this!"

The faces of everyone around him were a little angry, but also a little nervous.

They thought, wouldn't it be that Dayan didn't let them go?

If so, it would be really embarrassing.

They had never thought that such a thing would happen before. "Da Yan, let us go, but...it seems a bit unwelcome."

Du Ruhui exhaled and smiled bitterly.

He handed the reply letter from Dayan Rites Department to Qin Qiong and others.

After Qin Qiong and others looked at it separately, everyone's expressions became... extremely exciting...
It is wonderful!

They did not believe that such a request could be made by a country.

No food included!

Accommodation not included!

Transportation not included!
I don’t care about anything. If you want to come, you can come. If you don’t come, forget it.

This, this, this, is too... stingy.

Is this a letter that the Ministry of Rites of a dignified country can reply to?
For a moment, everyone was silent.

"The land of barbarians is the land of barbarians!!"

"I have lived for such a long time and have never seen such a strange country. How poor must I be?"

After a long time, Kong Yingda slowly spoke.

"Then, shall we go?"

Yu Shinan didn't know what to say.

For such a weird thing to happen to a country, they really had never expected or prepared for it.

Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin both looked at Du Ruhui.

This time, Du Ruhui was the leader of the Tang Dynasty mission and had the decision-making power.

Normally it might not be obvious, but at such a critical time, you have to listen to Du Ruhui.

Du Ruhui was silent for a moment.

"go with!"

One word came out of his mouth.

Du Ruhui knew very well that he carried the expectations of the emperor in his family.

He understood very well how much Li Shimin missed Princess Changle. Even if he took this action to take a look at Princess Changle's situation, it was worth it.

And this time, the situation in the Tang Dynasty is not optimistic. Your Majesty, the real dragon, is locked tightly by the noble family.

There may be a way to help His Majesty break free in Dayan.

Du Ruhui glanced at the crowd and continued in a deep voice: "This time, since we initiated the mission on our own initiative, we can't just go back like this."

"Besides, Princess Changle is still in Dayan. Following your majesty's order, I specially wanted to see how your highness the princess is doing, so I think this trip is a must."

"In this national certificate, Dayan did not explicitly reject us, but it is just that it cannot afford such a high cost. I think... it should be related to the fact that they accepted so many people in Youzhou and so many scholars in the Tang Dynasty."

"As we all know, Dayan is not that big to begin with, it is just a small area, so the situation of Dayan's treasury must be worse than that of our Tang Dynasty, and as the official roads of Dayan are so luxurious right now, I am afraid it will cost a lot, and even more Forget about being in the city, if you think about it, it’s normal to have no money..."

Du Ruhui said slowly.

After everyone listened to Du Ruhui's analysis, even if they were dissatisfied, they could finally accept it.

"Yes, with His Majesty's expectations and the farewell of the people in the city, if we just go back like this, we will really have no words to face His Majesty and the people." Qin Qiong said softly.

"Yes, Great Yan is a small country and it is understandable that it cannot afford it. But if our Great Tang hears about this small difficulty and is unwilling to go, wouldn't it also give people the impression that our Great Tang is small-minded? ? It’s not like we in the Tang Dynasty can’t afford this amount of money!” Kong Yingda agreed.

Yu Shinan, Gaiwenda and the others also nodded.

indeed!

Compared with them spending some travel expenses, food expenses, accommodation expenses, etc., just returning to Chang'an in disgrace would be even more disgraceful to the Tang Dynasty.

The worst thing is, give Dayan less gifts.

You know, in order to show off the demeanor of a great nation, Datang gritted its teeth and gave Dayan a lot of good things.

And this was also Datang's attitude towards foreign countries.

No matter whether we are hostile or not, no matter how big or small your land is, as long as you recognize Datang as a friend, I will definitely give you good things.

It prides itself on being a land of etiquette.

"Reorganize the team, target! Great Flame!!"

Du Ruhui shouted and confirmed directly.

The envoys of the Tang Dynasty moved forward again in a mighty manner.

On the road.

When everyone saw the scenery of some villages in Dayan, they couldn't help but sigh.

deserted.

but!
It's still good.

Along the way, when they passed through Youzhou, their home in the Tang Dynasty, it was even more shocking.

They all know that Youzhou was affected by the locust plague in the first half of the year, and many people went to Great Yan.

but!
They are far away in Chang'an City, and they will always only have a cold data, and they cannot truly experience it at all.

But when they passed through Youzhou, they felt deeply and profoundly.

Many county towns are deserted.

Every empty village has been occupied by wild animals. The houses have collapsed and the courtyard walls are dilapidated. It seems that no one has lived there for a long time.

This situation becomes more obvious the further north you go.

Even when we got close to the Great Flame, this place completely became a no man's land.

Not to mention villages, even in county towns, there are not even ten families here and there.

Half of the entire Youzhou was destroyed.

"I didn't expect that this year's locust plague would have such a great impact on our Youzhou area, and it would also be affected here."

Du Ruhui couldn't believe it.

"It's all because of those damn clan clans who are hoarding food one by one. They would rather let the food rot in the warehouse than take it out to help the people."

"If they had taken action earlier, the disaster in Datang Youzhou would not have been so serious!"

Qin Qiong felt very uncomfortable.

Calamity is merciless!

This is much more harmful to the people than the Turks going south.

"Who says not?" Kong Yingda sighed: "Actually, in the first half of the year, the people have to thank Dayan. Dayan robbed many people of our Tang Dynasty, but Dayan... I don't know how many people he saved. So it’s understandable that Dayan has no money now.”

"But now that the disaster has passed, there is so much abandoned land in Youzhou, why haven't the people come back yet?"

"Barbaric lands like Great Yan, just like here, have barren land. This is also the same disease as the land in the north. They are definitely not as fertile as my land in the Tang Dynasty. Why haven't you come back?"

Kong Yingda frowned slightly, not quite understanding.

"Could it be that... Dayan forcibly detained them? Are they not going to let the people come back?" Qin Qiong's eyes also darkened.

"It shouldn't be like this, right?" Du Ruhui didn't quite believe it and said.

Cheng Yaojin stood up at this time and said with a smile: "Hahaha, when you get to the Great Yan Land, you will understand why they don't come back!"

After the words fell, everyone was stunned.

They looked at Cheng Yaojin and saw how confident Cheng Yaojin was. As someone who had been to Great Yan and returned, Cheng Yaojin naturally had a decisive say.

What he said...
I guess... This estimate has some basis.
