Yuchi Baoqi shook Li Shimin's hand away and looked at Li Shimin with disgust.

"They grow a crop over there called sugar cane. You can recognize it as a fruit, but its sugar content is extremely high."

"What is the sugar content? Is it possible that this apple can also make sugar? Are you treating me like a three-year-old child?" Li Shimin raised his voice.

Yuchi Baoqi reached out and turned down Li Shimin's volume, feeling a little impatient.

"Sugar content, as the name suggests, means how much sugar a thing contains, and sugar yield means how much sugar can be produced from a piece of sugar cane. Do you think there is only caramel sugar in the world?" Yuchi Baoqi looked at it with disdain. Li Shimin.

"This, this, you mean, you can make sugar from this apple, or sugar cane?" Li Shimin was greatly shocked.

"As long as a thing is sweet, it can be made into sugar. It's just that the sugar yield is low and it's not cost-effective. Is it more cost-effective to produce one catty of sugar from one hundred catties of apples or thirty catties of sugar from one hundred catties of sugar cane? Sugar itself exists. I'm not a god. How could I conjure it up?" Yuchi Baoqi said, picking his nose.

Li Shimin was silent for a long time: "Is it expensive?"

"The silk you just used to wipe your hands can buy a hundred kilograms of sugar. If you buy it in Songye City, I will give you twenty kilograms as a gift." Yuchi Baoqi's salty words penetrated Li Shimin's young mind. .

"Wang De! Old dog! Where is the person? Come in and help me wash this silk!" Li Shimin looked at the dirty silk in his hand with distress.

"But this is now, and silk will no longer be valuable in the future. Anyway, the factories have opened, and it won't be long before everyone in the Tang Dynasty can afford to wear good clothes. Tell me about you, how the majesty of the Emperor has made you so poor." Yuchi Baoqiaoqiao He held Erlang's legs and pinched the core of the apple in his hand, feeling so happy that his heart flew up.

Li Shimin was obviously not ready to accept all this, and he was in a daze.

"The people in Tubo are poor and think that their own land is not good enough. In fact, this is not the case. There are a lot of mineral resources in Tubo, and there are salt mines near Songye City and Suoyang City. Anyway, the road has been opened, and when the time comes, Tubo will continue to work. Minerals, cotton, and preserved fruits will all come to Chang'an. Just watch."

Seeing that Li Shimin was silent, Yuchi Baoqi said to himself.

"Oh, that's right. I built a city there, called Luoye City. The scale is about ten times the size of Songye City and Suoyang City, and it can be regarded as the capital. Songtsen Gampo is the governor, and Rintso is the lord of the city. He controls all the people's livelihood and the economy in the city. Songtsen Gampo takes charge. Uncle Cheng is still there, and he is still in charge of the military. Rintso has endured the hardships of serfs, and there is a road to light in front of him. I trust him .”

Li Shimin nodded: "You just have to make arrangements. I will send you two documents when the time comes. It's just a matter of identity."

"Hey, don't you behave like an emperor? Every day, I, I, mine, you can get more." Yuchi Baoqi said with a smile.

"Aren't you saying you're used to it in front of others? You suddenly asked me to change it, bah. You suddenly asked me to change it. It's strange that I'm not used to it. I want to hear the part where you and your father almost died." Li Shimin rubbed his hands like a fly, his eyes bright. Staring at Yuchi Baoqi.

"Damn it! You're looking forward to it! Are you afraid that I will come back to marry your precious daughter, Lao Deng?!" Yuchi Baoqi stared at Li Shimin with wide eyes.

"No, no, it's so dangerous. It's thrilling. Say it quickly! Don't be a bitch!" Li Shimin was anxious.

"Before, the city was completely guarded. Songye City needed people to work. Lu Dongzan oppressed those small nobles and common people again. How could such a good thing happen? I fell asleep and took a pillow." Yuchi Baoqi said a little sadly. .

Seeing him like this, Li Shimin patted his back and said, "When I led the army in the war, your father, your Uncle Cheng, and your Uncle Qin protected me. It was uncomfortable for me to see so many brothers fall in front of me."

Yuchi Baoqi wiped his face and said: "Those Tubo refugees sent a letter and told us to wait for us to pick them up at Crescent Lake. I know they are refugees, and Lu Dongzan also knows. We went to pick up the refugees, and Lu Dongzan brought enough 2 people set up an ambush, and finally trapped more than [-] of us in a mountain col south of Crescent Lake."

"Twenty thousand people surround more than a thousand people? Or on the grassland? Once they are surrounded, even if five thousand Xuanjia troops come out together, it will not help!" Li Shimin finally understood the danger of this battle.

"My father was determined to break through and send me out. Lu Dongzan was a smart man. He knew that our guns needed ammunition to fire. Lu Dongzan sent people to patrol the camp at night, consuming our ammunition and our Spirit."

Yuchi Baoqi paused and said again.

"I told my dad that we can't break through. I know better about new weapons, and I might be able to kill more if I lead the team. My dad admitted it. After the repairs, everyone divided up all the food and prepared for the final charge. The recuperated reserve forces protect the Tianwei Army on the outside, while the Tianwei Army shoots and throws grenades inside. If the Tianwei Army is injured, the nearest reserve force needs to take over the weapons and ammunition and continue shooting and throwing."

Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this, and waited blankly for the next sentence.

"At the beginning, I really felt like I could rush out. Flash bombs and flares were fired out, causing the Tubo army to be in chaos. However, as the follow-up firepower was insufficient, the Tubo army surrounded us again. At this time, we were at the end of our efforts, and my father signaled the army to stop. Come on, my father and I dismounted and waited to die.”

"Ahem, what are you talking about? Let's get something to drink, my mouth is dry." Yuchi Baoqi pursed his lips.

Li Shimin was stunned and hurriedly got up to find the teapot and teacup. When he found half of it, he shouted: "Wang De! Old dog! Go get some tea and snacks quickly!"

"Giant baby, right? He always calls me Uncle Wang to do something. My Uncle Wang is really miserable. I get scolded and fined every day, and I have to take the blame for you." Yuchi Baoqi was a little angry.

"Little Duke, I have been a chamberlain in the previous dynasty. When the dynasty changed, I had already stretched my neck into the hemp rope that was used to hang myself. It was your majesty who saved the slave. It is what the old slave should do to share your majesty's worries. Don't do it. Don't be angry." Wang De poured the tea as he said it, pouring Li Shimin's first and then pouring it for Yuchi Baoqi.

"That is, this Wang De has become inseparable and inseparable from me like my family and tribe. It is your turn to make irresponsible remarks." Li Shimin showed off his relationship with Wang De as if he was victorious.

"You still don't want to listen? If you don't want to hear it, I can go home and see my mother now." Yuchi Baoqi didn't get used to it, picked up the tea cup and went straight through it.

Li Shimin quickly shut up and signaled Wang De to retreat with his eyes.

"When I got off the horse, I knew I might not die. Talu Dongtsen dreamed of knowing how to make a gun. I told him that I can go with you, but my father and the more than a thousand Tianwei army must leave. As a result, The old dog also mocked me, saying that I was not qualified to negotiate, and all the other Tianwei Army robes except me and my father would die. At that time, I was already prepared for death. I had a short gun and the Tianwei Army. It’s different, I thought that even if I die, I will have to support Lu Dongzan and his son.”

Li Shimin's eyes widened angrily: "This Lu Dongzan really deserves to die!"

"There is no end to the road, Yuchi Mountain, my brother Dashan! Cardboard! Here comes the newly developed mortar. Seeing the tense situation here, Brother Dashan sent a signal flare from a distance . I must have thought quickly, so I took out a signal bomb from the bag on the side of the horse's belly and twisted it diagonally. The mortar shells poured down. Lu Dongzan walked forward and was not hit by the bomb, but was only affected by it. , His son is so miserable that his butt is missing."

"What is this slapping cannon?" Li Shimin couldn't understand.

"Isn't there gunpowder and propellant in the bullets and ammunition? You know this, right. You also know the catapult, right? A mortar is a gun barrel plus a large bullet, and it launches the shell in a projectile way. That one is actually not very powerful. It was too big to withstand twenty or thirty volleys of fire, so the 2 people who were bombed were immediately knocked over. Those who were not hit by the bomb also knelt on the ground and worshiped Buddha."

"So lethal?" Li Shimin stroked his beard.

"Have you ever eaten Maoxuewang from my restaurant? The situation at that time was not much better than the appearance of that thing." Yuchi Baoqi felt sick just thinking about it.
