My servant in the Tang Dynasty is Li Shimin

Chapter 191 Wang Yuan wished to level Liaodong

"What is the meaning of this statement?"

Li Jing couldn't understand why the Tang Dynasty would enter an unprecedented super prosperous age after rescuing 70 soldiers and civilians from the former Sui Dynasty?
Li Shimin also asked:
"That's right! Young Master Wang, is there any necessary connection between the two?"

"The connection is great."

Wang Yuan smiled and said another thing:
"Do you remember the sweet potato, the genetic rice thing?"

"Naturally remember!"

The two nodded. This is a great merit that is unparalleled in the world, and it was created by the young man in front of him. Naturally, they will not forget it.

"Then have you ever thought about what the Great Tang will look like in a few years if you give it enough time with the two?"

Wang Yuan pretended to be mysterious and betrayed a pass.

"What else can it look like?"

"Isn't it that the people can have enough to eat, and there will be no famine since then?"

Li Shimin and Li Jing frowned, feeling that they couldn't keep up with Wang Yuan's train of thought.

"wrong!"

"It's not just about food and clothing."

Wang Yuan's expression became serious.

Although Lao Li and Lao Gao seem to be very knowledgeable, they are ancient people after all, and they don't have specific concepts about many things.

You must know that sweet potatoes and genetic rice were able to support a total of 13 billion people in China in their previous lives!

And feed everyone!

Although Datang's production technology and arable land area are far inferior to those of later generations.

But there are few people in Datang!

Just over 1000 million people.Asking for food and clothing is easy!
"By that time, there will be a complete flood of food!"

Food is flooding! ?
This sentence directly stunned both of them, the boss opened his mouth!

Food is such a thing, can it be flooded?

What a joke!
The two of them couldn't accept this sentence at all.

In fact, it's not their fault. You must know that half a year ago, the entire Tang Dynasty was in famine, and countless people couldn't even eat.

But now, why is there a food shortage for no reason?

"If you don't believe me, you can wait until next year to see if the price of food will plummet."

"You guys! I still underestimate sweet potatoes and genetic rice!"

Wang Yuan didn't give much explanation.

No matter how much he said, it was not as convincing as reality.

Seeing Wang Yuan's confident appearance, the two looked even more dignified.

"My lord, even if you are right, what does the food shortage have to do with the 70 soldiers and civilians of the former Sui Dynasty?" Li Shimin asked.

Li Jing took the topic, and continued:
"Could it be that the 70 captured soldiers and civilians must be rescued because of the flood of food that can feed more people?"

"This"

This was originally Li Jing's ridicule, and I planned to add another sentence, how is this possible.

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Wang Yuan jumped up excitedly:
"That's right! That's what I mean!"

"Old Gao, you really have more brains than Lao Li!"

"Once there is a flood of food, the population of Datang will definitely increase dramatically, and more and more wasteland will be opened up."

"Don't talk about anything else, let's just talk about Yuhang and Yangzhou. There are a lot of land around them that haven't been cultivated yet."

"Let's not mention the Lingnan area, which is rich in water and soil, but lacks manpower."

"So, the development and expansion of cultivated land is absolutely imperative!"

"Although this process seems reasonable, there is an important problem in the early stage!"

"That is a serious shortage of young and middle-aged labor force!"

"Have you ever thought about it? The current Tang Dynasty is fighting everywhere. Although the army is not too large, every time the troops are mobilized, countless laborers must be recruited."

"Under such circumstances, the common people simply have no spare energy to reclaim wasteland, let alone cultivate it."

"And those 70 soldiers and civilians can just solve the urgent need!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin and Li Jing were already dumbfounded.

If it wasn't for the wrong timing, I would have wanted to slap myself twice!

This is too outrageous!
Although Wang Yuan seems to have said a lot, it can actually be summed up in one sentence!
Just want those 70 soldiers and civilians to farm the land!

OMG!

Because I think there will not be enough manpower to farm in the future, so I want to destroy Goguryeo and grab people?

What kind of brain circuit is this?

It can only be said that it is indeed the reason that the big dog came up with, it is so simple that it does not make sense at all!

"As long as you explain this reason, I'm sure Li Er will be moved!"

The more Wang Yuan talked, the more excited he became.

Originally, he just thought of a reason randomly, intending to fool Li Er into sending troops.

But after he finished speaking, even he himself felt that it made sense.

"Even my son is about to be convinced by me, Li Er, a fool, will definitely be tempted!"

Two people: "."

They looked at each other, feeling speechless for a while.

how to say?

Prince, just be happy.

Next, Wang Yuan left the two of them to have a simple meal and bid farewell to each other.

After calling the two brothers who were weeping and chopping firewood, and talking briefly to Xiao Le'er, and unloading all the gold, Li Shimin and Li Jing went back in the empty carriage.

"Pharmacist, to be honest, how credible do you think what Prince Wang said just now?"

After leaving Lantian County, Li Shimin's face changed suddenly, and he no longer smiled.

Although he was always smiling before, this matter involved a country after all.

The former Sui Dynasty perished because of Goguryeo.

Although Goguryeo is far inferior to Tubo and Turks, its geographical location predestined that it was born with a sharp thorn, deeply inserted in the throat of the entire Central Plains!

The original "Saint Khan" Emperor Sui Yang used all the power of the country to encircle and suppress, but in the end he was smashed into the sand, in vain.

If Wang Yuan said, not only the entire Sui Dynasty was wiped out, but more than 70 soldiers and civilians were left enslaved by Goguryeo, working day and night.

The low status is like a slave.

Although they were soldiers and civilians of the former Sui Dynasty, the blood of China still flows in their blood!

"I don't know, but I still feel that Your Majesty had better not expect too much retribution for this matter."

"Pharmacist, why did you say that?"

Li Jing was hesitant, and after some hesitation, he met Li Shimin's bewildered eyes and said:
"Let's not talk about the existence of that kind of bombing mountain magic soldier, whether the prince is deliberately exaggerating about the food, just talking about the current situation of my Tang Dynasty, it is not suitable to start a battle again."

"Although Tubo has been pacified now, rebellions are still happening everywhere. Countless rebels are waiting for the opportunity. My Tang army has been stationed on the northwest grassland to suppress the rebellion, and we can't leave at all."

"Even the captured new king of Tubo, Songtsan Gampo, was forced to turn back on the way to Chang'an, and he wanted to use his life to stabilize the people's hearts."

"Let the people of Tubo see that their new king is not dead, so they can be convinced of the kindness of my Tang Dynasty."

"If the remaining problem of the snow-covered plateau is not completely resolved, then I can bluntly say that the possibility of sending troops to Goguryeo is very small."

"So that's what you're worried about."

Li Shimin understood and nodded slowly. The pharmacist is indeed a pharmacist, and he looks at the problem from a comprehensive perspective.

Although the current Tang Dynasty has solved Tubo, the remaining problems are indeed enough to drink a pot by itself.

The most basic point is how to stabilize the situation in Tubo.

You must know that Tubo and Eastern Turks are different. Eastern Turks are nomadic peoples, and Jieli Khan is licentious and immoral, and has long lost the hearts of the people.

Not to mention the wool trade, the spread of Protestantism and the bondage rule, controlling the economic lifeline and cultural beliefs of the northwest grasslands.

Although wool has a natural smell of sheep, it can still remove most of it as long as it is soaked in salt water.

Especially in the current Datang Dynasty, the production method of refined salt has been widely used, the price has dropped sharply, and the sales of wool have gradually increased.

In addition to the establishment of Protestantism, the construction of Beiting Protectorate is almost completed.
Datang's rule in Turks can be said to be foolproof.

It's just that the situation in Tubo is far more troublesome than in Eastern Turks.

First of all, the religion in Tubo is complicated, and the separatist forces of all parties are also ready to move. Although Songtsan Gampo executed the regent, there are many people in the country who are dissatisfied with Songtsan Gampo.

After all, no one wants to be ridden on the forehead by a brat like this.

It can be said that the difficulty of completely conquering Tubo is not at the same level as that of East Turks.

"So, Your Majesty, I feel that the attack on Goguryeo still needs to be done."

Li Jing said tentatively, with a solemn tone, trying to persuade Li Shimin to completely give up the idea of ​​attacking Goguryeo.

After all, the former Sui Dynasty paid a bloody price for this, especially the idea of ​​attacking Goguryeo this time was still the prince's idea.

Frankly speaking, as the military god of the Tang Dynasty, he is really a little unconvinced.

When did Datang become a blade in the hands of others?
Where do you mean to hit?
But before he finished speaking, Li Shimin showed his approval and said with relief:

"Pharmacist, you are right!"

"I ignored it before, but now it seems that next time I come here, I will not only see the actual cannon with my own eyes, but also ask the big dog for his opinion on this matter!"

"If the scourge of Tubo is not eradicated, I will not be able to settle down for a day!"

"Since you want to fight Goguryeo! Then you must be fully prepared!"

"This time, my Great Tang Cavalry will definitely conquer Liaodong!"

As Li Shimin said, there was an uncontrollable fire in his eyes, and he was full of fighting spirit!

This time, it was the wish raised by the big dog. If he could achieve it, then the big dog would definitely respect him a lot as the emperor.

Therefore, Li Shimin made up his mind that Goguryeo must be completely destroyed!

What the former Sui Dynasty failed to do, let him, the "one emperor through the ages", do it!
Li Jing: "."

"Your Majesty, the subject is not."

Sweat broke out on his forehead, and he felt that His Majesty had completely misunderstood what he meant.

"I know what you mean, pharmacist!"

Li Shimin's confidence soared, and he looked outside the carriage with high spirits: "You are afraid that my Tang Dynasty will fail in the Liaodong Peninsula like the former Sui Dynasty, and shake the foundation of the prosperous age!"

"But you overlooked one thing!"

"What's the matter?" Li Jing asked intentionally.

The corner of Li Shi's mouth raised slightly: "There are big dogs around me, but Emperor Sui Yang doesn't!"

Boom!

Li Jing trembled all over, his mind exploded, he almost couldn't sit still, and crashed into the carriage!
There is a big dog by my side, but Emperor Yang of Sui did not!
What kind of trust is this?
Although His Majesty's words are simple, every word reveals his unparalleled confidence in Wang Yuan!
"I understand."

Although Li Jing still had a lot to say, especially he wanted to explain his true meaning to His Majesty.

But now, he suddenly discovered that all of this was meaningless.

Because the prince's position in His Majesty's heart is obviously much higher than that of the Great Tang Military God.

This prince is really a man of God!

Li Jing lamented that in the midst of the complexity, he completely gave up on this matter.
