The fleet headed north again, and no one knew where it was now.
Not knowing where he was, Xu Yunyan was helpless and couldn't go to his second home...
Xu Yunyan and his party searched the sea for traces of pirates that might threaten the coast of Datang. In Jiangbei, Li Chengqian led his confidants and a group of officials arranged by Li Shimin to patrol various counties.
This world is actually so vast, but there are so many disasters in this vast world.
This water has not fallen from the sky, it is really a disaster for our Tang Dynasty! If it really doesn't rain, food production will really be reduced, which will be a big trouble.
Looking at the grain seedlings stretching stubbornly in the dry land, waiting for rain, Li Chengqian was very confused.
"If the weather continues for the first half of the month without rain, the wheat seedlings will really not be able to survive. A reduction in grain production is inevitable, and it makes sense for officials from various places to write letters."
It's just that Li Chengqian said this here. The officials next to him who had never been to the farm and only knew about Zhihu were also sincerely concerned about Li Shimin. They really had no unique insights into these things and were indeed talking here.
"Your Highness, why should you be so worried? It might rain in two days, and then the food will be saved."
After they said this, Li Chengqian looked up and saw where was there a single cloud in this clear sky?
The clear sky was so beautiful, but Li Chengqian was not in the mood to appreciate it. Instead, he looked at the scene in front of him worriedly and sighed.
Those former playboys who studied on the farm and are now the pillars of the country are now talking here.
"Your Highness, judging from the current situation, it is probably impossible for the rain to come. We can only let them fetch water manually to irrigate the fields to prevent the wheat seedlings from being dried out by the sun and causing no harvest."
When these people said this, the people who originally said it might rain also felt their faces burning.
They only read the Four Books and Five Classics but do not know that they are experts in the hard work of farmers all over the world. This time they did not dare to say a word when they were criticized. They did not have the guts to guarantee that there would definitely be rain here.
However, they could also see that the seedlings of this grain would not last long without rain.
"Half a month, we use half a month as a period. If there is no rain within half a month, we have no choice but to write to Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to arrange food and grass."
Li Chengqian sighed and continued to patrol all over Jiangbei. Within half a month, there was not a drop of water in the places he had visited, and there were still many places. Although he did not go, the people who arranged to go out did not reply to the news. See.
There is a severe drought in Jiangbei, and there is no harvest. If there are no proper arrangements, there will be starvation everywhere.
Li Chengqian couldn't help but shiver.
"No, I want to change this situation. I absolutely cannot let this happen."
Li Chengqian anxiously revised the book to express his gratitude to Li Shimin, but Li Shimin gritted his teeth after seeing the memorial sent by Li Chengqian.
“Allocation of large quantities of food and grass that is not in military warehouses to various places will not lead to the migration of refugees after the grain is harvested.
This migration may not necessarily cause many problems, and how many people will die on the road. Give them food and grass for emergency relief.
Let the intelligence agency keep an eye on me. If these officials dare to act recklessly, they will be dealt with severely. "
Li Shimin arranged for his left and right prime ministers and prime ministers Guofang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, and Pei Ji, an old minister left by Li Yuan.
Pei Ji and others hurriedly saluted Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty is wise, this is how you should act. You have made preparations in advance.
Even if there is really no disaster. After they escort new grain and grass to Beijing to replenish the warehouse, these can also be set up nearby granaries to reserve grain.
Once the situation changes, direct rescue is also a good opportunity to clear His Majesty's name. "
This Pei Ji dared to say anything without any scruples.
Li Shimin was also very satisfied with him.
"What Xiangguo Pei said is true. Then this matter is arranged by Xiangguo Lao. The intelligence personnel must do a good job. Don't let such good intentions lead to bad things. I'm afraid that some lawless people will take the opportunity to resell food and grass and drive up prices."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely keep an eye on this matter."
But when Pei Ji went out to arrange these things, Fang Xuanling raised his question.
"There is no problem that the food and grass in your Majesty's army will not move, but Chang'an's large treasury has transferred a large amount of food and grass.
If this happens this year, and if it happens again next year, we won’t have food and grass to provide emergency relief. What should we do?
In other words, Chang'an is in trouble, what can we do? "
When Fang Xuanling said this, Changsun Wuji sighed.
"Master Fang, are you so presumptuous about government affairs? How dare you say something that hasn't happened?"
However, although Changsun Wuji was talking about Fang Xuanling's fault here, he was still worried.
"Your Majesty, although what Mr. Fang said is a bit inappropriate, we must guard against these things."
Du Ruhui came out of the queue directly after the two of them finished talking and said to Li Shimin.
"I wonder if Your Majesty is so decisive in distributing food and grass, even if it uses the food stored in the warehouse left by the previous dynasty? Are you confident that the food and grass we use will be replenished in advance?"
Seeing Du Luhui say this, Li Shimin stroked his beard.
"Nothing can be hidden from your eyes!"
When Li Shimin said this, everyone couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Is it really such a good thing?"
Just when they looked at Li Shimin in confusion, Li Shimin started talking here.
"To tell you the truth, Li Yingzheng escorted 3 million shi of grain from Qiongzhou via waterway.
As long as he arrives in the capital, with careful calculation, how long can these 3 million stones of food and grass allow our Chang'an City to persist? You should be able to figure it out, right?
Moreover, he got so much from just one transaction with Annan. After he finished transporting grain and grass, and went south to Annan in one round trip, would the Tang Dynasty still be short of food? "
What Li Shimin said here was so heroic, Du Ruhui once again made trouble for Li Shimin here.
"I just don't know when His Majesty Li Ying's food and grass will arrive. Is the waterway really unimpeded? These things should be kept secret and not allowed to be discovered by other people."
Although Du Ruhui did not explain clearly why others could not discover the transported grain and grass, he said that confidentiality was the main priority, which was no problem, and Li Shimin now began to ponder over the route of entry mentioned by Xu Yunyan.
He seriously explained the route to everyone. After hearing the route, everyone could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Can we still go like this? I think there should be no problem.
But after everyone confirmed that there was no problem with the route, Changsun Wuji asked.
"Now the only thing left is where Li Ying will go. It will take another month to walk from Qiongzhou to Chang'an. It's a quick horse trip, not to mention that his escort of grain and grass will definitely be slower. But I don't know how it will be by sea and land. Will it be possible?" If you encounter an accident at sea, be sure not to destroy the ship and kill everyone."
As soon as Changsun Wuji said this, several people present looked at him fiercely at the same time.
The eldest son Wuji scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Mistakes, mistakes, I didn't mean it. I was worried that this would really happen."
What Changsun Wuji said was also everyone's concern. There is such a big lucky fish in the sea, is there anything bigger than this lucky fish?
If there really is such a fish, it is not impossible to swallow a battleship in one bite.
Just when everyone was thinking about whether Xu Yunyan would really encounter an accident and what they should do in the future, Xu Yunyan once again approached a small island on the blue sea.
After they docked on the island, the bored navy officers and soldiers were finally able to get off the ship and move around on the land. Although they were able to dock every night for repairs, it was just for safety, maybe because Xu Yunyan was afraid of trouble, so he always They were not allowed to repair and repair on the island as comfortably as they are now. The giant ship encountered a small problem during its journey, which finally allowed them to take a rest.
Standing on this unknown island, Xu Yunyan looked at the other looming islands in the distance. Is this Zhoushan?
When you arrive in Zhoushan, you should enter the river. Enter the river and then enter the canal.
Not bad!
Xu Yunyan touched his chin here, but looking at Tang Jun who was running around on the island so happily, he couldn't help but think curiously.
"Should we train them? We can't let them just go to Beijing or travel on the river like this. Once there is land, they will go down at any time and act like a fool. They won't give my face to me." It’s a shame, I’m a famous military master.”
The devil is about to appear again, but many navy officers and soldiers don't know it.
Xu Yunyan had an idea, but these Tang Army soldiers who were dancing happily here were unable to express their suffering.
Originally it was just a relaxing break at the beach, but now it has become an emergency training again.
The waves kept beating against the Tang soldiers who were standing in the sea, practicing their words and deeds, while Xu Yunyan was fishing leisurely on the boat. It was so comfortable.
Opposition to differential treatment is a sentence that comes to everyone's mind.
But they didn't have the guts to say it in front of Xu Yunyan, so Xu Yunyan kept them in the water for a day...two days...
A week passed quickly. Looking at the soldiers who were training quite effectively, the others dared not speak out and were just muttering here.
"General, it's time for us to set off. We've been delayed here for so long. Although we haven't used food and grass, the seafood we eat every day has made us angry. We're exhausted. Can we move forward? , buy some vegetables when we get to the shore, so that they can relieve their fatigue. Only by eating well and drinking well can we have fighting strength."
Although I knew these things, for the sake of the combat effectiveness of his army, I had to reluctantly agree to do my homework.
Set off again, this time he approached the coast after setting off, finally allowing Pei Ji's intelligence personnel to find Xu Yunyan's location.
When Li Shimin received news that Xu Yunyan and the others had arrived at the mouth of the Yangtze River and were about to enter the Yangtze River, he couldn't help but feel happy.
"Okay, great! According to their itinerary, it will only take a month at most to transport the grain and grass out, enter the Yangtze River, follow the canal, then enter the river and transfer to the Wei River to Chang'an, right?"
It’s just that everything is unbearable to talk about. When Chang’an began to distribute all the food and grass outside, preparing to carry out rescue operations when there was a real danger, the day began to become gloomy.
After another inspection in the north, Li Chengqian, who returned, couldn't help but get angry when he looked at the gloomy sky.
"Why is it so hard for me, thief God, to wait for me?
The food and grass for disaster relief have just been shipped out, and why are you here during this heavy rain? How much damage will be done to this food and grass on the road?
Why didn't you come earlier? Just a few days in the morning, crops will die due to lack of water.
The world will not be starved to death. "
Li Chengqian pointed at the sky and cursed, which frightened the people accompanying him, but what could be done? Already.
