Producing a food surplus has not been an easy task since ancient times.
Think about the fate of all the countries in the world, especially those powerful countries, such as Rome and the Han Dynasty. In the end, there is still not enough food to fill the people's stomachs - this is still an agricultural country after all...
At this point, Li Sheng needs to consciously check his body shape from time to time, but for Li Erjunchen, this is the system firmware in the genes, which cannot be deleted at all.
It was precisely for this reason that no one was surprised by what Li Er said about using large amounts of food to lure the Romans away from their geographical advantageous areas. Of course, it was also for this reason that everyone disagreed with this matter.
but……
Based on the same logic, when Wei Zheng expressed his agreement and then explained the reasons, everyone suddenly had an idea in their minds. They did not directly use a large amount of grain to do this, but made some expectations...
Isn’t this equivalent to “a large amount of food” in disguise?
Even if the grain produced by the Tang Dynasty is, for example, 30% higher than that of the grain-producing areas in Chang'an, if you go to the north, this 30% advantage may be lost, and it may even be discounted by 20%, but...
Think about it, Rome is also in the north. Wouldn't they still have to pay a 30-30% discount on the grain output in their own grain-producing areas?
Isn’t this still an advantage?
Compared to Rome, there should be an advantage of 20% to 30%. Even if the advantage of 20% to 30% is just an expectation, it can be equivalent to a "large amount" of food...
The key to seduce the Romans is that you don’t need to actually produce so much food. As long as the scale reaches the level where you can plant seeds on a considerable area of land, it will be enough to attract the Romans to get sick!
Obviously, this scale is not that exaggerated, and the cost will not reach an unacceptable level!
And so...
A wonderful plan can come true!
From another perspective, compared to using a large amount of food to lure the enemy, this strategy is somewhat similar to "painting a pie". It seems exaggerated, but... we must consider that Rome is a powerful country, and its decision-makers are not just ordinary people.
.
For the general advisers and generals on the other side, as long as the bait is heavy enough, they will definitely bite the hook. After all, most people are still mortals.
But it is impossible for Rome to survive to this day because they are all fools. In other words, even if the bait is heavy enough, as long as the opponent's big decision-maker, that is, the little Hannibal, may not fall into the trap, and the opponent's reconnaissance
His consciousness may be no worse than His Majesty's. And he used a large amount of food to lure the enemy...
No matter how you look at it, this horse rider looks a bit like tricking a stray cat into returning home. It's a bit funny when you think about it. A reckless man will fall for this trick, but that little Hannibal who revived Rome is clearly not of this caliber. In comparison...
…
This may look like a cake on the surface, but it can withstand the test-increasing grain production really exists, and there is really a bait behind it, which is different! Although obtaining this grain type is a long-term benefit, it will not be seen for a while.
.
But it is precisely this kind of thing that astute decision-makers will not value, because for these people, the immediate interests are more important; however, for the foresighted big boss, this kind of thing is particularly valuable!
The strategy was finally figured out, and enough reasons were finally figured out.
Li Er thought about this until midnight, and finally finalized the first step of his plan to conquer Rome.
Although the grand strategy of plotting Rome has been carried out for a long time, but...
They have done various things before, such as the military defeat of Rome in southern Africa, which is also very good, but Rome is a big country, and Datang has to pay attention to a national game of chess - that is, all details serve operations, and all operations serve victory, and
It’s not weird things like kills, KDA, or teammates’ grudges.
This also means that it is almost impossible for the Tang Dynasty to make any big moves, especially to take the initiative to defeat Rome. Such big moves must have occurred when the preparations for the silent preparations were basically completed, that is, after the
After a long historical period.
A similar case is that in the Han Dynasty, how awesome was Liu Bang, the great ancestor? He still fell over in Mobei, and later he brought a group of counselors and brave generals to fall over. Finally, it was only during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that the preparation issues were solved, giving Wei Huo room to play.
And if it were the Wenjing period, Wei Huo would not have been able to achieve anything, because the objective conditions were there and many things just did not support it.
but……
Youdao is that at this time and that time, although the Tang Dynasty was in the stage of just rebuilding the empire like the Han Dynasty at that time,...
Compared to that time, the Tang Dynasty now has microscopes, biology based on them, and new varieties of grains...
Li Er, as well as the generals under his command, were not ordinary people. Within five seconds after the matter was finalized, they all understood it clearly.
but……
At this time, the Romans, who were thousands of miles away, did not understand these methods and were completely unaware of them.
but……
As Li Er and others expected, the Romans were not idle people.
Although there is no microscope, no high-energy and high-yield food, and no biology. But Rome... also has something consistent with the Tang Dynasty, and this is what makes Rome the number one problem for the Chinese Empire.
The Romans retained their original wildness and ambition. They... were looking at China from a distance with the same eyes as Li Er, Zhang Liang, Li Daozong... and others.
On the way out of Manna Hall...
Fang Xuanling shook her head slightly against the night wind and sighed, thinking that this world is really not easy, and the Tang Dynasty is too complicated...
Logically speaking, things like strategic vision should be very scarce. Unexpectedly, everyone in this Manna Palace understood the strategy of luring the enemy with grain and seeds. The thought of "actively and passively luring the enemy" was simply mind-numbing——
If it were during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, my level of strategy would not be the best in the world...
However, while he was complaining, Du Ruhui suddenly heard from the side and said, "What is Xuancheng worried about? Today's plan is not bad. In the future, the Tang Dynasty will definitely be able to severely damage Rome."
indeed……
The plan discussed by the Tang Dynasty's inner court today is not simply "clever". The key lies in the inclusion of new varieties of grain, a new element.
Because of the existence of this element, everyone is so convinced that the success rate of this strategy is much higher than that of ordinary methods, because... even the Romans are not ordinary people, but because it is a new thing, their subconscious mind
Zhongbian would think that Datang could not apply this new thing well at all levels.
Since there is such a good thing, how can Old Wei still...
Du Ruhui asked curiously, and Fang Xuanling on the side was also startled and stared at Wei Zheng.??
