"This ...... What is hybrid rice? ”

After being shocked, Li Shimin suddenly remembered that Lu Yan said a new word, hybrid rice.

Lu Yan said with a smile: "Shengshang, this hybrid rice is the rice seed produced by the mixture of two kinds of rice with different advantages, and then planted it, the rice that grows in this way is hybrid rice, this kind of rice grows vigorously, is not easy to get diseases, and is very productive......

Lu Yan muttered about the concept of hybrid rice to Li Shimin and the ministers, and after the ministers listened, they were stunned, they often eat this rice, but they didn't expect that rice had such hybrid characteristics.

Li Shimin, on his side, nodded even more excitedly: "Okay, okay, with hybrid rice, my Datang's grain output has increased a lot, and Lu Aiqing can increase grain production, which is really my Datang hero." ”

As soon as he finished saying this, Lu Yan hurriedly said: "The Holy Lord has raised Weichen, Weichen has such a brain, so if you want to get this, this is what Marquis Qin told the minister, and the minister went to test it according to Marquis Qin's method." ”

"Qin Tian?" Everyone was stunned, everyone didn't expect that Qin Tian was fighting in Youzhou, and this rice matter could also be involved in him.

Li Shimin smiled bitterly, thinking that this Qin Tian would really surprise himself.

"I see, good, good, but Lu Aiqing also contributed a lot."

Lu Yan said: "Holy Lord, my Datang's grain is increasing year by year, and this year has increased a lot compared to last year, and the grain and grass are really not too big a problem." ”

Although he didn't continue, Lu Yan's meaning was already very clear, since the grain and grass were not a problem, then this battle could naturally continue to be fought.

The reason why Lu Yan suddenly stood up and said these things was just to help Qin Tian, and now that he has done everything he can do, whether he can really help him in the next step is not his business.

And after Lu Yan said this, Hou Junji stood up again.

"Shengshang, grain and grass are not a problem, this battle must be fought as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late to fight with the Turks next year, and then destroy the Liang State and the Later Sui."

"Holy Lord, General Hou is right, this battle must be fought as soon as possible, so if Qin Tian also thinks that it should be fought, how can he send someone to the capital to deliver the message?" Su Dingfang didn't like Qin Tian originally, but now in order to achieve his goal, he could only pull Qin Tian out.

Because, after the incident of hybrid rice just now, he found that Li Shimin obviously liked Qin Tian a little more.

And just as the two of them were saying this, a eunuch hurriedly ran into the palace: "Shengshang, the border is urgent." ”

"What?"

"In the Turkic territory, soldiers and horses are being gathered, but I am afraid that it will not be long before I will use troops against my Datang again."

Hearing the news, there was an uproar in the court.

"The Turks are so hateful, our Datang hasn't done anything to them yet, but they want to be ready to do it with us?"

"Holy Lord, you must take precautions early."

"Yes, yes, you have to take precautions as soon as possible."

“…………”

At this time, the ministers suddenly became a little angry, and the eldest grandson Wuji saw this, and also stood up and said: "Shengshang, this is not the time to clash head-on with the Turks, in fact, we can transfer the battle situation to the Later Sui and Liang States, as long as we do something to them, the Turks may wait and see, and it is possible to assist them, but they will never directly attack my Datang, which can buy some time for my Datang." ”

As the prime minister, the words of the eldest grandson Wuji have a bit of a conclusion, he said so, and it was basically decided.

After Li Shimin listened to the eldest grandson Wuji, he nodded: "Okay, Hou Junji, Su Dingfang." ”

"The last general!"

"I name you two, take the soldiers and horses, and go straight to the Liang country, to attract the Turks as much as possible."

"Whoa!"

The two of them received the order, and at this time, Li Shimin said again: "The Mo Dao team has basically been trained, among your soldiers and horses, there are five hundred Mo Dao teams, and the other five hundred will be sent to Qin Tian, and the rest will be handed over to Li Jing and Qin Shubao." ”

When Li Shimin spoke, he asked again: "Li Jing Aiqing, how is my Tang cavalry training?" ”

"Back to the saint, the cavalry has all been completed."

"Okay, after Hou Junji and Su Dingfang rush to Liang State, you and Yiguo Gong will lead 100,000 soldiers and go straight to Lingzhou, from there they will attack the grassland and attack Qin Tian left and right."

"Whoa!"

Since the war is going to start, it is necessary to make adequate preparations, and this plan of flanking left and right was discussed by Li Shimin and the ministers before, and it can be used directly.

Moreover, now if Li Jing is ready to attack the Turks, he can also contain some of the Turkic forces and relieve the pressure on Qin Tian and Hou Junji to destroy the Liang State and the Later Sui.

Of course, the cavalry Li Jing mentioned was certainly not the Benlei horses that had just been born in the alpine pastures not long ago, and most of the Benlei horses used by these cavalry were rented from other merchants.

After the end of the war, they would be given a certain commission, and if their horses had an accident on the battlefield, the imperial court would also give compensation, and in addition to money, they would also give some calves to the thunder horses, etc.

Otherwise, it would be a bit difficult to gather the Benlei horses needed by the cavalry.

Of course, the appearance of those small Ben Lei Horses in the alpine pasture is not useless, if there is no them, Ben Lei Ma will be more cherished, and those rich businessmen are afraid and unwilling to rent out their Ben Lei Horses.

Moreover, these small thunder horses made the merchants feel more at ease, because if their horses were gone, these small thunder horses would be given to them, and the merchants were not particularly at a loss in comparison.

Li Shimin made some arrangements in the court, and at the same time, the household department also began to prepare grain and grass, although the grain has not yet been collected, but some has been collected, and now the people's grain has just been harvested, and the price is not very high, the court can pay for some first.

Although it will not last long, as long as the grain supply in various places is completed, then the problem of grain and grass will naturally not be a problem, after all, there is a lot of grain this year.

After the arrangement was over, the ministers dispersed one after another, and Hou Junji and Su Dingfang went to gather their soldiers and horses to prepare for the Liang State.

Li Jing and Qin Shubao's side also began to gather government soldiers and open Lingzhou.

Chang'an City, which was a little lazy and leisurely in the hot and dry, suddenly became nervous, and almost every day, you could see one after another soldiers and horses gathering on the streets, and the trade of grain and grass suddenly became more frequent.

For this situation, many people in Chang'an City have become accustomed to it.

They know that Datang is going to war again.
