Datang: My Peerless Talent Has Been Exposed

This is just one small point in Zhang Nuo's draw in Pyongyang.

In his opinion, the entire Koryo Peninsula is most suitable to become an industrial and agricultural base. After all, the Great Northern Wilderness of later generations is already under his jurisdiction at this time.

Although under his arrangement, those landlords had planted various kinds of grain, and Zhang Nuo also promised to underwrite the sale.

However, if the grain is directly transported to the customs for sale, one earns too little and is too low-level, and there is no added value of the product at all. It is just a hard-earned money by buying low and selling high.

The other reason is that transporting raw materials is undoubtedly the most wasteful behavior in today's situation of tight transportation capacity and long distances.

Therefore, Zhang Nuo decisively established a food factory in Pyongyang City, processed most of the products into finished or semi-finished products, and then packaged them to Lantian City for secondary processing or subcontracted sales.

Judging from the current situation, Zhang Nuo's investment is undoubtedly very successful, and it has successfully led to a new round of food trends in Chang'an City, making countless officials who seem to be serious and serious go home habitually. After that, put a piece of dry sweet potato in your mouth to chew.

But this transportation problem is also a headache to think about, and Pyongyang City has to increase production efforts!

Chapter 641 The Work-for-Relief Project Begins

Ever since Li Shimin got to know Zhang Nuo, he didn't know that he hadn't grown up in other places, but in terms of eating alone, it was definitely an evolution that broke through the dimensional wall.

Therefore, when the palace bought this new type of snack and delivered it to him, he heard that it was Zhang Nuo's business. It came out delicious.

But on the other hand, he was very, very satisfied with Zhang Nuo's vigorous production of food and food products in Pyongyang. He never thought that that poor place in Pyongyang could produce so much food and produce such delicious food at the same time. .

As for the emperor Li Shimin, he wished that there would be a bumper harvest everywhere in the world, and that the world would be full of grain, because that would mean that the common people would basically have enough to eat, and no one would rebel if they were full. .

However, since ancient times, it may be due to the limitation of knowledge. Except for the farm family blooming once when a hundred schools of thought contended, agriculture has always been the most important thing in the mouths of emperors, ministers and even scholars.

But the strange thing is that very few people can put their minds to serious research on how to increase food production and where to find new crops and other issues. In this regard, Zhang Nuo can be said to be the real first person.

This point, with the promotion of several new crops, almost everyone in the world has to give a thumbs up to admit it.

Judging from the food at hand, the potential of these new types of crops is probably far from being developed. At least for now, everyone seems to only know the advantages of high yield, low labor consumption, and good taste.

But Zhang Nuo here is to let everyone understand that new crops can not only be cooked directly to fill the stomach, but also have many ways to play.

Moreover, according to Zhang Nuo's way of playing, Li Shimin knew almost without asking, that there must be a steady stream of other foods to be made out in the future, and the threshold of these two shops may have to be stepped on by then.

Li Shimin really did not blame Zhang Nuo for this point. Anyway, Liaodong Road and Pyongyang Road under his command are sparsely populated and rich in products. Not to mention the shareholders who participated in the Koryo campaign project with him, just the immigrants from the pass. As well as the soldiers under Zhang Nuo's command, the land reclaimed and the grain harvested this year are really not a small amount.

Although Zhang Nuo was able to purchase all of them, thereby stabilizing the price of grain, so as not to cause everyone to suffer from low grain prices, but he is not a professional grain merchant himself. Besides, once the grain harvest in the pass is good, he will only sell grain. How much can you sell?

So not only has he already set up these factories for dried sweet potatoes, but he has also arranged for people to build a bean product workshop a long time ago.

Speaking of soy products, it is simply a strange thing. I am afraid most people can't imagine why there are so many strange things developed under tofu.

From soy milk, bean foam to tofu nao, from ordinary homemade tofu to stinky tofu, fried tofu and fermented bean curd, from tofu skin, thousand sheets to yuba, spicy strips, these messy things are all soy products.

At this time, Zhang Nuo's factory in Pyongyang City was studying how to mass-produce spicy strips and other soy products. In this era, even refined salt has just changed from a high-end luxury item to a daily necessities.

Believe in the extremely rich flavor of spicy strips, you have to conquer countless people with that taste alone, and eventually people will unconsciously take out the money in their pockets.

Even the production of spicy strips is on the mind, let alone corn products. As long as the northerners are familiar with cornmeal, it will become even more ever-changing after that.

So Zhang Nuo is sure that as long as there is the gradually expanding food industrial park in Pyongyang, Zhang Nuo can continuously digest the food from all over Pyongyang, and then sell it to various places in Datang.

Li Shimin naturally recognized this situation very much, especially when he was in Pyongyang City, he forgot to go to this unremarkable place to see it. Now that he returned to Chang'an, he saw the real thing itself, which is also interesting to think about.

But at this time Li Shimin didn't have time to find Zhang Nuo to make fun of, anyway, Zhang Nuo can't run away, and he can slip past whenever he has time, especially now that Li Shimin not only knows how to drive, but even the head of the guards around him can drive. He can comfortably slip to Lantian City in a car at any time.

What he wants to pay attention to at this time is the work-for-relief project that has been discussed before. This is the project that can calm the hearts of the people in the disaster-stricken area the most. As long as people have food, work, and money, the big things that day can be calmed down .

But now the first work-for-relief project has started in the disaster area, which doesn't allow him to pay attention to it. After all, no matter how well he thought before, it is not as good as it is actually implemented now.

So this time, Lao Li simply dragged someone to sit in the conference room next to the telegraph room, discussing things while waiting for the local report.

This was also his nod, otherwise, it would be impossible for local officials to use the telegraph line to report to the court. Even if it wasn't for Li Shimin's nod, they might not even be qualified to know about it.

Now that Li Shimin let go of this hole, on the one hand, it is indeed for the rapid flow of information, and at the same time, it is also a deterrent, so that those who are used to being local uncles will know that I can receive local information anytime, anywhere.

Even in the future, there will be situations where local officials make trouble in the local area that day, and the reprimand telegram from Li Shimin or the court has already arrived on the desk the next day.

There is such a kind of deterrence, even if it is not stated clearly, those gangsters will understand the meaning.

For the first work-for-relief project, Li Shimin carefully chose Longyou, which is not only the most severely affected place this time, but also the place where the most serious entanglement of local wealthy forces.

Choosing this place to carry out the work-for-relief project, on the one hand, is naturally for disaster relief and relief for the victims, but there is another meaning behind it, that is, to show the strength of the court and the royal family in the place where the influence of the local powerful family is the greatest.

For the people at the bottom, there is nothing that can reflect their strength more than real food and money, so as long as the food is in hand and the publicity is in place, then there is no need to speak ill of the local clan. Then you will understand how powerful Datang is.

Only Datang, and only Datang under Li Shimin's rule, can provide food and money in this year of constant natural disasters, and turn the disaster area into a blue sky again.

Chapter 642 The Current Situation of the Disaster Area in Longyou

This place in Longyou has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times!

It is also because of this reason that the folk customs here are a bit tough. Bandits, horse bandits, and rogues keep coming and going, but they still can't crush the backbone of the men here.

What they believe in is that the sky will fall as a quilt, rather than relying on the sky and the earth, it is better to rely on their own hands to fight.

Therefore, the government actually doesn't have much prestige in the local area, because people here always feel that the government is useless, and it seems that they can't do anything other than pull people into corvee and collect taxes.

Rather than trusting the white-faced scholars in the government, it is better to trust the few big families in the local area. After all, the folks in the village have known each other for generations, so there is no need to worry about people changing suddenly.

As for the government, it used to be the Yang family of the Sui Dynasty, but now it is the Li family of the Tang Dynasty. Who knows when it will be changed again?And here is not far from the border, and from time to time there are Turkic dead dogs coming to fight the autumn wind, so there are too many precautions.

However, unknowingly, since last year, it seems that the government is a bit different in the eyes of the locals.

Especially this year, first of all, chicken and duck cubs were sent to every household, and then it was clearly stated that this thing was given to you by His Royal Highness King Qin. Can sell for a fortune.
