I, The Identity of the Immortal Master, Has Been Exposed

"This is the case with all the people of the country, so what about the little locust plague! 99

On the top of the city, Li Shimin pressed his hand on the guardrail, and looked at the excited people below, and couldn't help sighing in his heart.

Ye Yu often said that water can carry a boat and capsize it, and now it is this boundless water source that has dragged the Datang ship up.

"Tang Jian, let the officials be more rigorous in their work. Any chicken or duck must be recorded on the record, and how many kilograms of locusts each commoner has caught must be recorded clearly, and not a single penny can be given to the common people!

"Yes!

Tang Jian bowed slightly, looking at the lovely people below and was also moved.

It is because of this group of people that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty will desperately guard the frontier!

After a long silence, Tang Jian bowed to Li Shimin again and said, "Your Majesty, Wei Chen has already figured it out."

"With the military rations we are currently using, Datang's army of 700,000 people will spend about 400,000 yuan a year. 39

"And if the general's ration is transformed into insect cakes and nutritious porridge, a person can consume up to two catties a day, but the cost is only 40 yuan, and the ration of 700,000 troops will not consume 300,000 silver.

In the middle, a hundred thousand kans of military spending was saved, 100,000 kans!"

Tang Jian became more and more excited as he spoke. He had seen Datang when he was poor. At that time, the annual income of the national treasury was only one million kuai. Although the situation is much better than before, but in the eyes of Tang Jian who is used to living a hard life, the money can be saved if it can be saved, a hundred thousand, which is enough for Tang to do a lot of things!"

"well done!

Li Shimin also showed a smile on his face.

This is only the income that can be brought by making it into military rations. In addition, fried locusts can also be sold as small snacks, and the excess can be sold to Daming as military rations in exchange for their advanced firearms.

This locust can really bring a leap to the Tang Dynasty!

Li Shimin was excited, but he still did not forget other things.

He pondered for a while, then waved his hand and said: "Tang Jian must pay attention to the flow of the bank, and don't let the bank's capital chain break, get through this period, we can't let the people's money fall into our hands!

"Notify Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, let them speed up, I must see the first wave of income from the channel within two months!"

"Yes!

When the people from all over the country in the Tang Dynasty were rushing to the border of Tianxia and Tubo, the Tubo side had completely turned into a pot of porridge.

Compared with Datang, which is rich in products, Tubo's Shiran area is also very vast, but the resources are very scarce, especially the cultivated area. Compared with the plain area of ​​Datang's Yimapingchuan, the Tubo Plateau has grown very fast in addition to grass. The area of ​​arable land is poor.

It is precisely because of the lack of materials that the Tibetans want to occupy the land of the Tang Dynasty so strongly, and they have been jumping wildly on the borders of the Tang Dynasty.

If it wasn't for Li Shimin's luck, he went to Ye Yu and got a lot of pointers. Maybe this Tubo will directly attack him one day.

But now, after the disembarkation of Taishan Fengchan, Tubo has dispelled this thought.

Tufan royal court, Shannan Pibo city.

Different from the majestic Chang'an City, this Tubo King City reveals a sense of desolation everywhere.

But recently, Pibo City has become more than ten times more lively than before, and there are people fleeing everywhere.

"I'm so hungry, give me something to eat!

"Zamp, I want to see Zamp...

"Okay, please give me something to eat."

The streets and alleys are full of refugees who have fled from all over Tibet.

These refugees were all ragged and skinny with starvation, their cloudy eyes stared blankly at the rushing crowd on the street, just shouting mechanically.

Pedestrians on the street looked ugly, hiding from these fleeing crowds like the plague.

When these refugees first came to Pibo City, people still had some surplus food to help these compatriots who died, but as the number of people who escaped increased and the number of people waiting to be helped increased, people were already determined. Powerless, even the royal court of Tubo could not bear such a huge amount of food output.

The scariest thing is yet to come.

Half a year ago, the locust wave had completely spread to the Pibo City generation. When the yellow cloud that covered the sky and the sun hit, everyone felt a sincere insignificance.

The fields, on the big trees, in the grass, wherever there is green, there are locusts crawling everywhere, and in less than two days, all the land in the area of ​​tens of kilometers in Pibo City was eaten up. A white field!

If it wasn't for a little preparation in advance, perhaps everyone in Pibo City would have starved to death.

Now everyone is too busy to take care of themselves, and who else has the time to take care of others?

In the royal court of Tubo City, the civil and military ministers of Tubo stood in the court hall, and everyone looked solemn.

Zamp of Tubo sat on the throne, his hands clenched into fists, and his face was black enough to drip water.

"Has the locust gone away yet?"

Zan Ou looked at the minister in the court with a gloomy gaze, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

One month, but only one month, 30% of the land in the Tubo country was eaten up, the food loss was serious, and the number of people starved to death could not be counted.

If the locust plague continues to rage in Tibet for a while, then Tibet can unilaterally declare its surrender!

"Your Majesty, the locusts are now migrating to the borders of Datang, and it is estimated that it will take another month and a half to leave the territory of Tibet.

A white-haired old minister leading the charge said with a miserable smile: "In a month and a half, I will be in Tibet this year... no, the grain output within three years will plummet, at least hundreds of thousands of people will starve to death, the king quickly thinks. Find a way!

"And how are these refugees arranged! Langri Songzan said with an ugly look on his face, "Father, over the past half month, 300,000 disaster victims have poured into Pibo City. , the number of people in my city has already been saturated!

"And where we border Tianzhu, thousands of Tianzhu refugees pour in every day to snatch food from all over our country. If we don't deal with it, there will be a big mess!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, think of a way!"

"If this goes on like this, our Tubo will be finished! 35

All the ministers made speeches with bitter faces.

The corners of Zamp's eyes twitched, and a stammer formed on his brows. He slapped on the throne and roared sharply.

"Think of a way, if this king can think of a way, what's the use of asking you bastards?

"Don't you all claim to be extremely smart, how come you can't even solve a small plague of locusts?"

Zamp's roar echoed in the hall, and every minister looked gloomy.

Little locust plague?

A locust is very small, but after seeing the yellow cloud covering the sky, who would dare to say that the plague of locusts is not scary?

If there was a way for them to be scolded here, would they have gone to rescue the people long ago?

Langri Songzan also had a solemn expression, he pondered for a while, then he suddenly gritted his teeth and stood up and cupped his hands.

"Your Majesty, I have a solution, but... there is a great risk!

"Say!

Zamp looked at Langri Songzan with a burning gaze, at this time, he didn't care about the risk, as long as he could save his life.

Langri Songzan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Father, all your lords!"

"Now that the locusts have moved eastward, another one will arrive in Datang this month. Although Datang is powerful, it must be in a hurry when faced with such a terrifying number of locusts. At this time, we sent troops to plunder the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and as long as we can plunder a large amount of food back, I, Tubo, can temporarily survive this crisis!"

"No!" As soon as the words fell, the white-haired minister hurriedly objected: "The Tang Dynasty is so powerful, what if they directly wipe out our army?"

"Even if the locust plague delays their actions, when they get through the locust plague, they will definitely send troops to attack me in Tubo. At that time, the country will be destroyed and the family will be destroyed. This method is absolutely impossible!"

"Lord Dry Cloth!"

Langri Songzan suddenly raised his head and stared at the white-haired old minister, with a very solemn tone: "If I don't go to the Tang Dynasty to loot, I don't even have time to wait for the Tang Dynasty to attack!"

"It's dangerous to go to war, as long as we can survive this crisis, we can apologize to the Tang Dynasty afterwards! The Tianxia nation has always been very happy, as long as we cede a certain amount of land afterwards, we will be able to survive this crisis!

"This……"

Gan Bu opened his mouth but didn't know how to answer, and everyone in the hall also looked solemn.

The method of Langri Songzan is not good, and it can even be said to take great risks, but I have to admit that this is the only effective method now!

If he hesitated, Tubo might really perish in this plague of locusts.

The Tang Dynasty is strong and powerful, if you can bite a piece of meat from it, maybe you can really survive this crisis!

"Then do as Langri Songzan said!" Zamp considered for a long time, and finally settled on the case.

He stared at Langri Songzan with a solemn expression: "I'll leave it to you this time!"

"Arrange an army to follow behind the locust tide, and prepare to loot at any time when the Tang Dynasty is in crisis!"

"Remember, this time, we must not leave any clues, and we must not let the Tang Dynasty discover my Tubo's actions!""

"Yes!
