Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 265 Self-sufficiency
Tang Peng was not interested in the way of the military formation. Seeing Xue Wanren gesticulating on the ground, he couldn't help but patted Xue Wanren's head, and said with a smile: "Second brother Xue, you should study your military formation later, let's What needs to be solved now is the problem of garbage and the problem of food and fodder!"

Obviously, Tang Peng's attention is not on the fortress. After all, he is actually here to follow the army to make military achievements. Besides, Tang Jian has risked his life this time, and if he doesn't do something, he will definitely lose money. sent.

Although as long as Tang Jian, Cen Wenwen and others are conferred meritorious services, he can get some credit, but in fact the big head is still on Li Jing's side.In the same way, thinking about the good, as long as Tang Jian's division strategy is successful, there will be no war in Shuofang, and Tang Peng will also get credit. It can be said that it is nothing more than traveling with the army for free.

Moreover, if he can't afford it, there is a high chance that he will be able to get military merit for nothing, so Tang Jian will let him enter the army.

However, even with the blessings of the two parties' contributions, it does not allow Tang Peng to get a title, or the contribution is not great enough, but Zhang Yi's solution to the problem of food and fodder for the border guards is different. Big credit.

As an honorable man and the son of Tang Jian, although Tang Peng is a bit dandy, it is undeniable that he is definitely a smart person, and because he is well-informed, he undoubtedly has a very good sense of things that are beneficial to him. Keen intuition.

Because Zhang Yi's name has been well-known in the recent period, whether it is the dried fish in Lingnan, the roast duck in Chang'an, or even the new military rations in the army, or the pesticides researched by the Imperial Hospital when the locust plague broke out, All of this can be said to have a close relationship with Zhang Yi.

The most important thing is that Tang Peng felt that although Zhang Yi was very low-key, he would be able to find a lot of clues as long as he searched carefully, and he happened to know a lot about Zhang Yi.After all, he was in the same noble circle, and he knew a lot of news.

Zhang Yi didn't know what Tang Peng was thinking, so he pointed to the land behind the city and said: "Fundamentally speaking, my Huaxia is actually a farming-based nation, I don't understand, we have hands and feet to fight Dun Yaji knows how to go hunting and hunt wolves, tigers and leopards, but why don't he rely entirely on the imperial court's assignment?"

"You mean we farm the land ourselves?" Tang Peng quickly understood what Zhang Yi meant, but he said, "But this is an important border area, maybe the enemy army will attack before the crops are ripe. If they don’t attack, they only need to send a small team to set fire to Geography, and all the hard work for a year will be wiped out!”

For Zhang Yi's proposal, in Tang Peng's opinion, although it is feasible to a certain extent, and he believes that these government soldiers will be able to grow good crops, after all, the government soldiers are actually farmers when they are not at home. For things like growing crops, that's a good job!

Zhang Yi couldn't help smiling, Xue Wanren also looked over when he saw Xue Wanren, so he said: "It is impossible to grow food, after all, this is the frontier. If there is a war, we must bear certain risks, but we can grow vegetables, especially It is the kind of vegetable that can be eaten in a short time!

In this way, the growth cycle of vegetables is short, and we can plant them in large quantities.What's more, all these lands are abandoned. We use them for planting, one does not need to pay taxes to the court, and the other can consume the daily garbage and feces in the city. The plague happened! "

"Planting vegetables!" Hearing this, Tang Peng's face suddenly showed a smile, and he gave Zhang Yi a thumbs up and smiled: "Yes! Why didn't I think of it? What about planting vegetables? It is completely possible to avoid the problem of fear of war.

Moreover, the production cycle of vegetables is short. Vegetables such as Chinese cabbage can only be eaten for a month or two from the planting path. We can grow them! "

"Well! I think it's okay!" Xue Wanren laughed, and sat down with his back against the stairs. His feet were numb from squatting for too long just now, and he rubbed them with his hands before saying: "Although now The military rations are much better than before, but after a long time, they are still a bit dull, so the logistics side used to send people out to dig wild vegetables. It can be said that the whole Shuofang has been dug up. All they want is to eat two bites of vegetables. taste."

While talking, Xue Wanren became annoyed: "Everyone is pig-headed, and they are more tired than pigs for two baskets of wild vegetables every day. They never thought about planting some, and they kept bragging about how capable they are. In my opinion It's all mallets!"

To be honest, Xue Wanren was guarding Shuofang City because he knew what the situation in the frontier was like.

Usually, major wars in Turks usually occur after the end of autumn
Because at this time the people on the Datang side ushered in the autumn harvest, but their prairie barbarians needed to prepare for the harsh winter.Although grasslands can be used for grazing, who can point to killing sheep and cattle every day, right?Besides, as far as cattle and sheep are concerned, although they can also be used as staple food, in fact the output of cattle and sheep is not enough to meet their needs.

After all, the population base of the Turks is not small, so if they want to survive, and if they don't want to wait for death trembling in the cold winter, they have to take up the machete to plunder.

This has nothing to do with nature or race, it is a path that one has to follow in order to survive.

So planting crops or vegetables at other times is a completely safe time, and there is no need to worry about the Turkic army or other small tribes messing around!
"Chinese cabbage is fine!" Zhang Yi nodded and continued: "However, cabbage has a strong seasonality. If I had to choose, I would definitely choose other vegetables. For example, Tianqi is very suitable! "

"Tian Qi?" Xue Wanren couldn't help being taken aback, looked at Zhang Yi and said, "Can Tian Qi be eaten as a vegetable?"

In his impression, Tian Qi is not considered a vegetable, and generally speaking, Tian Qi is only cultivated as a green decoration in the courtyard for the Tang people.Because Tianqi has a characteristic, that is evergreen all seasons!
Not only is it evergreen in all seasons, but it is also a large area as long as it grows. Often only a stump on the vine is thrown on the ground, and a new Tianqi can be regrown within a few days. It is a very easy-to-cultivate green plant.

But this thing can still be eaten, which undoubtedly refreshed Xue Wanren's opinion!
