Ye Yutong asked Shen Erlang, "General Shen, how is the harvest in the north this year? Is there enough food to eat?"
Speaking of this, Shen Erlang was very excited, "Sister, there was enough rain this year and the harvest was 20% higher than last year. My father was so happy that he went to bed with a grin on his face at night.
When we were harvesting sweet potatoes and potatoes, my father and my eldest brother invited all the wealthy households and landowners in the North to have a feast of sweet potatoes and potatoes.
Those people were very surprised after eating it and wanted to buy the seeds at a high price, so my father agreed to them.
Next spring, let them exchange grain for sweet potato seedlings, and exchange five kilograms of coarse grain for one sweet potato seedling. "
Ye Yutong smiled and praised, "Master Hou, this is a good idea. It can not only solve the food problem of the northern generals, but also promote sweet potatoes and potatoes. It is very good."
Shen Erlang also thought that his father and eldest brother had a good idea, and he told Ye Yutong what his father told him when he came.
"My father also wants to distribute some of the sweet potato seedlings to the people in the north next year.
But I was afraid that the rich people who spent money to buy it would feel uncomfortable, so I wanted to use His Highness's name to distribute it to the people.
My father said that originally these seeds were obtained by His Highness and the Crown Princess after all the hard work, and the people of Yunchao Kingdom should know your thoughts. "
Li Yunze, who was talking to Li Yunhang, heard his words and said with admiration: "Dingbeihou is an upright man and has a righteous heart. It is a blessing for the people of Yun Dynasty to have such a general."
Li Yunhang also nodded in agreement, "I met Mr. Hou once when I was in the capital. At that time, I felt that he was a bold and generous man, and he was a role model for younger generations like me to learn from."
Seeing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Prince Liang spoke so highly of his father, Shen Erlang felt happy and humbly thanked them both.
Li Yunze asked about Prince Liang's condition again with concern, "Cousin, I heard that Uncle Wang is not feeling well. Is he feeling better? Do you want me to send a doctor over to take a look at him?"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. The doctor said that my father is not seriously ill. He was probably too sad and was in a hurry some time ago, so he collapsed. Rest for a while and you should be able to get out of bed."
Li Yunze nodded, "Then let Uncle Wang have a good rest. He is not young anymore, so he must pay attention to his health.
If you need a doctor or medicine, my cousin will send me a message and I will find a way to get it for him. "
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Li Yunze smiled and waved his hand, "Brother, King Pingnan has sent a hundred thousand troops this time. According to their current route, they will definitely run into you. In order to reduce unnecessary casualties, why don't you take the Northwest Army with us into the city? Bar?"
Li Yunhang shook his head decisively, "No, we will stay here. It is not far from Yuncheng. If anything happens, I will send someone to the city to inform you."
He and Li Yunze knew how many people King Pingnan came this time around the same time.
The reason why he allowed the Northwest Army to stay here was to prepare for a formal confrontation with King Ping Nan.
He was also not prepared to leave any room for regrets to King Liang.
Li Yunze probably guessed what he was thinking.
In fact, it doesn't make much sense whether they can enter the city or not.
When the fight really breaks out, in order not to hurt the people in the city, he will definitely choose to fight against King Ping Nan's army outside the city.
At this time, Shen Erlang said: "Your Highness, we will not enter the city. We will station ourselves near the Northwest Army. Then we will deal with King Pingnan's army together with Prince Liang."
Li Yunze and Ye Yutong looked at each other and thought this was great!
The total number of soldiers in the Northwest Army and the Northland is hundreds of thousands. Coupled with their tens of thousands of soldiers, King Pingnan's 100,000-strong army will never come back.
At that time, we will take the opportunity to attack south and try to capture a few more cities.
Li Yunze clasped his hands in his fists and said to Shen Erlang: "Well, Brother Shen will lead the soldiers to station at my brother's side first. I will be here to welcome the brothers tonight."
Ye Yutong smiled and said: "My father brought thirty carts of bacon and sausages this time. I will use half of them to cook meat for my brothers tonight, and the rest will be used for a celebration banquet in a few days."
Shen Erlang laughed loudly, "The bacon and sausages are good things. I heard that they are very expensive when sold outside, but sometimes you may not be able to buy them. I didn't expect that I would finally be able to have a full meal today. I would like to thank His Highness and the Crown Princess on behalf of all the brothers." "
Ye Yutong said cheerfully: "Brother Shen, what does this little food mean? As long as the brothers like it, these things will not be sold to the shop in the future, but will be directly supplied to our army."
Li Yunhang listened to them with a smile, but was very shocked in his heart.
Li Yunze has high-yield grain in hand, and he has heard about it from Song Jingyan.
Everyone was happy to hear such a good thing that benefited the country and the people, including him of course.
You can listen to the conversation between Shen Erlang and Ye Yutong just now.
Ye Yutong should still have a lot of business on hand, and it is a rare business that can make money quickly.
No wonder Li Yunze and Ye Yutong were so confident at a young age. It turned out that they were not short of food and money.
If high-yielding grain crops are developed next year, even the people will turn to them.
It seemed that Li Yunhao and Concubine Qiao had a good time in a few days.
Even King Pingnan, who has an army of 300,000 men, may not be arrogant for long.
Li Yunhang was once again glad that he had expressed his stance to Li Yunze a long time ago.
Although he had never wanted to compete for that position, and he didn't care what Li Yunze thought of him.
But for Song Jingyan and the Northwest Army, his attitude is very important.
Li Yunze and Shen Erlang chose a place to station and let the 100,000 troops rest first.
Ye Dafeng and Ye Yutong have already asked the cooks to put the pots on the racks and start cooking bacon, sausages and brown rice. Cabbage and radishes are stewed in dozens of large pots next to them.
Tonight, the 100,000 troops brought by Shen Erlang ate together with the 80,000 troops of King Liang.
The soldiers on both sides were bragging and eating delicious bacon and sausages. They looked happy and harmonious.
Li Yunze, Li Yunhang and Shen Erlang were sitting in the tent, discussing how to deal with King Pingnan.
Ye Yutong and Ye Dafeng had dinner and found a deserted place to talk, "Dad, is there nothing going on on the mountain?"
"It's okay, everything is fine, and the villagers are also very honest. When planting wheat, Butler Lin sent twenty people to help manage it.
I also asked people to build a few rows of houses behind the horse farm in order to expand the horse farm. The climate on the mountain is good and there is no shortage of fodder, which is especially suitable for raising horses.
In the future, my son-in-law's team will get bigger and bigger, and horses will definitely be indispensable. I plan to buy some mares and raise them this time. "
Ye Yutong looked at him and said with a smile: "Dad, with you here to help me worry about things, Ping An and I don't have to worry about anything anymore. It's really a lot easier."
Ye Dafeng touched her head distressedly, "Daughter, you guys are all capable. Your mother and I can't be of much help, but we will definitely let you take care of the rear, and let Ping An just fight, and leave the rest to you." father."
"Well, thank you dad."
The father and daughter were talking here, and Li Yunze and Li Yunhang were discussing in the tent.
No one on both sides noticed when the door of King Liang's tent opened.
