Datang: God-level son-in-law, salted fish will become stronger

Three or two mouthfuls resolved the battle.

The aroma of barbecue exploded in the mouth, which made everyone amazed.

The kebab smells good and tastes even better.

Everyone threw their sticks on the table, looked at the empty plates, and licked their lips with unsatisfactory expressions.

It's not that they don't know etiquette.

This mutton skewer is so fragrant that I almost swallowed it with my tongue.

Li Er, on the other hand, looked at the crowd with a bewildered face, and reprimanded him in a bad mood: "You are an official of the imperial court, and you are also a duke of the state, so how can you be so unrestrained? Don't you think you have eaten roasted meat?" ?”

Listening to Li Erhen's scolding.

Zhangsun Wuji and the others didn't take it seriously.

What kind of face and dignity do you need in the face of this kind of food?

It's not bad if you don't swallow your tongue.

After Li Er finished speaking, he didn't care what everyone thought, and directly put the mutton skewers into his mouth.

Immediately afterwards, he opened his eyes wide.

After eating the mutton skewers, the taste of roasted meat was completely different from what he had imagined.

He even wondered if all the roasted meat he ate was fake.

Tender, crispy, salty, spicy all explode in the mouth in an instant.

The unique taste invaded Li Er's taste buds.

For a long time.

Chew and forget all the unpleasantness.

Two chews, people seem to be floating in the sky.

Chew three times, like feathering and soaring.

Really fragrant!

Is this the joy of grilling?

Li Er swallowed the mutton all at once, and couldn't help exclaiming: "Yes, this thing is really good."

"Qin Mu, hurry up you brat, how can such a little roast be enough?"

Chapter 427: Qin Mu's Strategy (2/5)

Chang'an City.

The inner courtyard of the Qin Mansion.

Li Er, Changsun Wuji and several other people faced the fragrant kebabs.

Without any scruples about etiquette, he devoured the wind and hunger, his face was full of oil, and his belly was full of fat.

Everyone reclined on their chairs, twisted and crooked, without the demeanor of a duke.

After eating the fragrant mutton skewers, drink hot tea that is familiar.

In their hearts, they felt indescribably happy.

They haven't eaten so heartily for a long time.

I remember the last time I ate so comfortably.

still is……

last time?

All in all, today Li Er and the other dukes can be regarded as a real treat.

Even the body and mind feel a lot more happy, which is really rare.

Qin Mu and Xue Rengui looked at the mess in the yard, and then at the nearly thousand bamboo sticks on the ground, the corners of their mouths twitched.

The fighting power of this group of people is really beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Nearly a thousand mutton skewers were eaten as soon as they were eaten, which made people feel emotional.

Especially Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong.

Each person ate more than 200 skewers, and the two of them were almost unable to walk.

During the whole process, Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong basically scolded and ate while scolding.

To eat more than anyone else in this way is really a talent.

Xue Rengui was heartbroken.

The fresh mutton skewers were all swept away by Li Er and the others. He only smelled it, but didn't eat a few bites.

Li Er ate comfortably, and didn't bother to worry about other things with Qin Mu. He raised his hand and praised: "Qin Mu did a good job this time. Gaochang and Western Turks are all in the hands of Datang. I am very relieved."

With a smile on his face, Qin Mu bowed slightly, "Your Majesty's praise."

Changsun Wuji laughed secretly.

When I was in Liangyi Hall just now, I was thinking about punishing Qin Mu.

Now I know that cannibals have short mouths.

Li Er glanced at Changsun Wuji lightly, and then asked, "Qin Mu, the Western Turks have been destroyed, but a large area of ​​land has been left unused. Do you have any good ideas?"

When Li Er asked Qin Mu, they were puzzled for a long time.

Everyone looked at him with serious faces.

They have been discussing for several days about the idle land in West Turkic.

I have never thought of a good way to deal with it. It would be a waste to leave it empty.

Last year's review by officials, the reform of the military system in the Tang Dynasty, and the adjustment of the military training system in the Tang Dynasty.

Qin Mu gave them valuable advice on every matter here, which was deafening and thought-provoking.

Listening to Li Er's words, Qin Mu nodded slightly.

Naturally, this matter cannot trouble him.

The idle land of Western Turks really needs to be put to good use.

That's a lot of money.

Qin Mu pondered and said: "Your Majesty, I have a suggestion, that is to jointly develop commerce and agriculture on the land of Western Turks."

heard.

A group of humerus, curious in their hearts, asked quickly.

"My son-in-law, come and listen."

Qin Mu nodded slightly, and continued: "Gaochang and Western Turkic countries are both hubs of transportation in the Western Regions. They are located along the North Road of Tianshan South Road. one."

"Hu merchants traveling to and from the Western Regions have to go through Gaochang and Western Turks, and then go through the Hexi Corridor to the Central Plains."

"If a commercial city is built in Western Turkic to facilitate the export of goods from the Tang Dynasty and the import of goods from the Western Regions, it will greatly promote the development of the Tang Dynasty's commerce, thereby increasing the country's tax revenue."

"That's what I call a business move."

Li Er and the others listened to what Qin Mu said, and nodded repeatedly.

"The son-in-law's move can indeed make full use of the geographical advantages of Gaochang and Western Turkic countries, and vigorously promote the commercial development of our Tang Dynasty."

"Yes, the Western Regions are far away from the Tang Dynasty. If a commercial city is built halfway, it will surely prosper."

"The most important thing is that it can increase the tax revenue of Datang. The more money in the treasury, the better the construction of Datang. In this way, it is a virtuous circle."

In fact, these things are not difficult to think of.

It's just that Fang Xuanling and others are bound by inertial thinking.

Usually, agricultural development is given priority, and things related to business are subconsciously ignored.

Li Er nodded slightly, then looked at Qin Mu, and asked, "Then how should this agriculture develop?"

Qin Mu mused, "The agricultural development of Western Turks should be supplemented by grain cultivation, and fruit cultivation should be the mainstay."

The words fall.

Everyone was surprised.

I even wondered if Qin Mu might be telling the opposite.

How could it be possible to focus on fruit cultivation?

"My son-in-law, why don't you focus on planting food crops, after all, food is the foundation of Datang's development."

"That's right, food is what my Tang needs most. What can I do with growing fruits, but I can't eat them as food."

"There really isn't any region in history that is dominated by fruit cultivation."

Several people frowned and said in doubt.

This food can fill the stomach, and it is also an important strategic material.

Food is important where there is fruit.

How could Qin Mu not know such a simple truth.

In the face of everyone's incomprehension.

He had no choice but to explain: "Food is important, but the land in West Turkic is not suitable for growing food."

"Besides, with the large-scale promotion and planting of potatoes today, Datang is not short of food, what is lacking is the diversity of agricultural planting products."

"Secondly, the long hours of sunshine and large temperature difference between day and night in the Western Regions are conducive to the growth of melon and fruit crops and the accumulation of sugar in melons and fruits. For example, the grapes grown in the Western Regions are much sweeter than those in other regions."

"Not only that, fruit crops are also important economic crops, which can be widely circulated between the Western Regions and Datang, and will also be a pillar industry for the development of Datang in the future."

Qin Mu said clearly and logically, but Li Er and the others were dumbfounded.

Although it is cloudy, it can probably be heard.

What he said still made sense.

Qin Mu does have a unique vision and insight into the planning of regional development and construction.

Qin Mu continued: "It doesn't mean that we only develop commerce and fruit planting. Potatoes can also be promoted in the western Xinjiang area. The problem of food and clothing for the people is still the top priority."

Li Er thought for a moment, and said to Changsun Wuji: "Tomorrow you will discuss this matter with the Ministry of Household Affairs and plan the development of the Western Xinjiang area."

The words fall.

Qin Mu interjected: "Well, the development plan of the western Xinjiang region includes Mangya Trading Company. In the past two years, Mangya Trading Company has accumulated a lot of money. If the imperial court needs it, Mangya Trading Company will fully support it."

What the hell!

Li Er looked at Qin Mu in bewilderment.

The goddamn sun popped out of the ground.

"Zhen... I heard it right, right?" Li Er looked at Qin Mu quietly.

A few humerus are also incredible.

This is a bit of a joke.

"Hehe." Qin Mu smiled softly, "Your Majesty will definitely not take this money for nothing."

"At that time, let me choose a few places for convenience."

Li Erbai glanced at Qin Mu, "That's all, that's all for you."

The place is all for nothing, and Li Er is very happy to get Qin Mu a little money.
