With Prince Zhuang, Su Guogong Zhuangzi, Wei Guogong Zhuangzi... and so on, after these Zhuangzi's sweet potatoes, potatoes, corns and other gods have a bumper harvest.
The whole Chang'an was once again plunged into commotion.
The heads of the aristocratic families, who had accumulated their depression for so many days, were all vented.
They cannot buy sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn in Jinwang Village.
However, Wei Guogong, Su Guogong, Qi Guogong... these are the Dukes of the Tang Dynasty who also come from aristocratic families. How many pounds can they still get?
When these people only care about sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn.
In a certain house in Chang'an City.
A group of barbarians wearing sweaters and white sheepskin clothes were sitting next to a large burning iron stove, talking angrily.
"The news has been confirmed. Emperor Tang has really formed an army to help those aristocratic families attack the cities of our vassal states!"
"The people of Tang Dynasty are extremely shameless!"
"No credibility at all!"
"I don't think small countries like me still call him the Khan of Heaven!"
"Hmph, this thief captured my Turkic son-in-law, and dared to use my Turkic warrior as a slave to build roads and cities for the Tang people, and suffered insults from those Tang people!"
"Everyone, this matter must be reported back to the country as soon as possible!"
"We can't delay it any longer. I heard that the Tang Dynasty people had auctioned the troop quotas of five aristocratic families a few days ago, and the Emperor of Tang Dynasty made tens of millions of dollars!"
"In the past, the Emperor of Tang Dynasty only borrowed weapons from aristocratic families and attacked several cities in our vassal state. Now, if he sends troops directly, wouldn't he have to attack at least a dozen cities?"
"..."
Suddenly, the envoys from Tuyuhun and Baekje turned pale.
A dozen cities?
If we attack at least one of their countries, wouldn't it mean that we will directly capture half of their country?
Especially Tuyuhun, they were attacked by the Li family in Longxi and have now lost four cities.
The envoys from Tibet and Goguryeo glanced at these envoys from the small country who had turned pale and sneered.
"Now, the King of Jin of the Tang Dynasty has brought back to the Tang Dynasty a sacred object that can produce one thousand two hundred kilograms of grain per mu. If the Tang Dynasty plants all these sacred objects throughout the Tang Dynasty, the national power of the Tang Dynasty will definitely be able to
Once we become twice as powerful again, by then, we and other surrounding countries will have no chance!"
"You'd better advise your respective kings not to take any chances. That's what happened to the Turk Jieli Khan and the Tuli Khan. Although they are still alive, they are often called into the palace.
, being humiliated by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and all the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty!
The dignity of the Turks has been trampled under their feet."
"As for you, you have all seen the treatment of the Turkic nobles!"
"Moreover, I heard that those Tang Dynasty families were even more ruthless towards me and other nobles of the vassal state. As long as they invaded the city, all the nobles would not be spared, and the whole family would be killed!
Even children who are less than the height of a wheel will not be spared!"
"They are simply a bunch of demons!"
"..."
"Resist, you must resist the tyrant!"
Soon, all the vassal envoys in the room had firm expressions on their faces.
They were all scared.
They also knew about the brutal things that happened to the Tang Dynasty families after they invaded their country.
However, no matter how their king sent envoys to write letters of credence to the Emperor of Tang, there was no response.
Even some envoys would be intercepted and killed before they even entered the territory of the Tang Dynasty!
Now, if there was the assistance of the Tang Dynasty army, wouldn't those Datang families be even more cruel?
In the past, they were the only ones who plundered the Tang Dynasty. How could it be like now when the Tang Dynasty actually plundered small countries like them?
However, all of them subconsciously forgot about the situation in Japan.
Soon, a group of barbarians plotted for half a day.
Then they all sent various confidants one by one, carrying secret messages, quietly left Chang'an and dispersed in all directions.
Regarding this, no one in Chang'an City was aware of it at all.
Maybe, even though he noticed it, he didn’t take it seriously!
In the eyes of the nobles and noble families of the Tang Dynasty, these small barbarian countries were just their meat, and they could eat whatever they wanted!
After a group of dignitaries and aristocratic families took away some of the sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn from the houses of Cheng Zhijie, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others.
In Chang'an City, the situation also began to slow down.
Perhaps the only ones that are still busy are the iron mines to the west of Chang'an City.
Ever since the sweet potato, potato, and corn harvests.
Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others were even more interested in building giant steel ships.
Every ten days or so, the Thunder Guards conduct military training around the iron mines.
Every time, the earth shook.
Then, the miners' faces were full of joy.
…
Soon, a heavy snowfall enveloped Guanzhong.
It’s the last day of the seventh year of Zhenguan!
All the people and courtiers in the Tang Dynasty were full of smiles.
Although there was a major flood in the Tang Dynasty this year, the imperial court had sufficient food reserves and there was no famine.
Moreover, the King of Jin also asked Tang Dynasty to retrieve from overseas sweet potatoes that could yield twelve shi per mu and potatoes that could yield seven shi per mu.
Even if they can't plant it this year, there will always be an opportunity next year, the year after, or three or four years later, when it's their turn to plant it.
By then, the food in their homes will fill a warehouse.
Even if God does not give them food for a year, they will not suffer from famine.
Moreover, with such abundant food, they can also marry aunts for the cubs at home, or give birth to more cubs without fear of running out of food!
The hearts of all people in the Tang Dynasty were full of hope.
There is only one son in the family, but his eyes are full of despair!
Tai Chi Palace, Liang Yi Palace.
Li Ke, who went out to fight against Goguryeo, also rushed back with several large carts of gifts in time for the New Year.
"My son, please see your father!"
"Haha, Ke'er has grown a lot in recent years!"
While Ke was saluting, Li Shimin hurriedly stood up from the throne and walked towards Li Ke.
"Thank you very much, Father, for thinking about your son!"
Li Ke's eyes also flashed with excitement.
Although he, Li Ke, is of the bloodline of the previous dynasty, he can now expand the territory for the Tang Dynasty and conquer the Goguryeo Hozen.
"Father, I have captured two more cities in Goguryeo this year!"
"Hahaha, good, you are indeed worthy of being my prince!" Li Shimin was overjoyed.
"Father, I heard that my father needs a lot of steel. There are many iron mines in Goguryeo and the iron-making skills are mature. I brought back 200,000 kilograms of pig iron for my father!"
Reported by Li Kechen.
"Two hundred thousand catties?"
Hearing this, Li Shimin and Li Chengqian were both shocked.
"Back to my father, brother, there are more iron ores in Goguryeo than in the Tang Dynasty. The only disadvantage is that the winter is too cold and the ore cannot be mined, otherwise there will be more!" Li Ke said with a proud look on his face.
"Ke'er has really grown up!"
Li Shimin looked pleased.
Regarding this, Li Chengqian on the side also looked pleased, without any jealousy.
Anyway, Master said that although there were clansmen and aristocratic families in the Tang Dynasty, no matter how many achievements they made, they were all working for him and making money!
Li Shimin nodded slightly, and then looked down at Li Tai and Li You.
"Qingque, please help me, how are your studies at the martial arts hall going?"
"ah?"
Hearing this, both Li Tai and Li You couldn't help but look bitter.
