"Prince Chun, have you found a problem?" Wei Renshi said to Li Chun.

"What's the problem?" Li Chun asked.

"The soldiers of the Shence Army are basically very strong and look very powerful, but the soldiers of the Sixteen Guards are so weak." Wei Renshi said: "Even the 1,100 people selected from the Jinwu Guards are much thinner than the soldiers of the Shence Army below."

Li Chun picked up the telescope and looked down, then put it down, nodded, and said, "It's true. The soldiers in the Shence Army are much stronger, and they look like Kong Wu is powerful."

"Shence Army has sufficient food and salary, and if you eat enough, you will naturally be strong." Wei Renshi said again: "The soldiers of the Sixteen Guards are not as good as those of the Shence Army. If you cannot eat enough, you will naturally be weak. If you are weak, even if you train them, your body will not be able to bear it."

Wei Renshi sighed: "Soldiers are fighting people, just like the blade in the hands of the court. The blade is not sharp enough and not hard enough. How can we kill the enemy? If the soldiers of the Sixteen Guards want to become those who form the blade, they must be strong and strong, and strong in order to become hard and sharp blades. Therefore, it is particularly important to eat enough. The soldiers of the Shence Army are generally stronger than the soldiers of the Sixteen Guards. To a large extent, it is because the food and salary of the Shence Army is more than that of the Sixteen Guards, and they can eat enough. If they can eat enough, people will not be weak and powerless. This is the foundation of the army!"

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

The Shence Army is now the most combat-effective army under the direct control of Tang Ting, and it is the reliance of Tang Ting.

And the Sixteen Guards are now known.

Therefore, the food and salary required for all the equipment was naturally distributed by the Shen Ce Army.

With sufficient food and salary, the soldiers will naturally be strong and can adapt to some more intense training.

However, the Sixteen Guards were not good, and the food and salary were insufficient, the soldiers could not eat enough, their physical functions were weakened, and they were not strong enough. The number one thousand and one hundred people were specially selected from the Jinwu Guards, so they had better physical foundation. The Jinwu Guards were responsible for the Chang'an patrol and were usually useful, so the food and salary were more sufficient than the others in the Sixteen Guards. And the number one thousand and one hundred people were specially selected from the Sixteen Guards, and they must have been selected.

But even so, the body of this thousand and one hundred people was not as strong as that of the soldiers in the Shence Army. This was not just one person or two, but the generality was worse than that.

It is even more conceivable that the other soldiers of the Sixteen Guards are the ones.

But this is also impossible. The imperial court has limited resources and will definitely lean towards a more advantageous army.

The Sixteen Guards lacked food and salary, the soldiers were not strong enough, could not eat enough, and could not keep up with the nutrition, so their bodies could not adapt to this high-intensity training.

This is a big problem.

If the Sixteen Guards want to rise again, the combat effectiveness of the Sixteen Guards must be at least equal to that of the Shen Ce Army.

But the physical gap cannot be recovered in a day or a day.

If the soldiers' combat effectiveness increases and maintain it, physical strength is the most basic. If the soldiers are strong, they must at least have to eat enough to ensure nutrition.

But today's Tang Dynasty is no longer the prosperous era when "small towns still contain thousands of families".

The food is limited, and it is impossible to ensure that all the imperial army can have sufficient food and salary.

The Tang Dynasty lacked food, and the vassal states in various places only intercepted themselves, and the only ones that came to the hands of the court were even more limited.

The court needs food!

This is a worrying thing.

Nowadays, high-yield and unscrupulous crops are still on the other side of the ocean, so there is nothing we can do about it.

Suddenly, Wei Renshi's mind was filled with inspiration. He remembered that when he was in court before, he heard that Wang Jiyuan, the Ya general of the Annan Protectorate, drove Pei Tai back and Tai fled to Zhu Yuan. The next day, Zhao Yun, the left military commander, killed Wang Ji Yuan and his party, and welcomed Pei Tai back.

When I heard this news, I didn’t react. I just heard Annan and thought about where Annan was in the later generations. So I thought of two thoughts, one was a Vietnamese monkey and the other was Linyi Kingdom.

The Annan Protectorate is Vietnam in later generations, and it is also the Linyi Kingdom and surrounding areas in the early Tang Dynasty.

When it comes to Linyi Kingdom, another name comes to mind - Chamengdao.

The yield is high, and it can be harvested three or even four times a year in tropical and subtropical areas. Even in the north, it can be harvested two or one a year.

It seems that it was introduced in the Song Dynasty and then promoted, and combined with late rice, the rice income increased significantly.

Chameng rice...

Wei Renshi knew where the high-yield grain crops were, but the key was that he could not go now.

Most of the major grain crops in later generations were introduced from South America, with potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, etc., and now no ship can discover the new continent.

The most likely thing to find is Chameng rice.

If the Chameng rice can be found in Annan and then large-scale development of Lingnan, Ryukyu and other places where the Chameng rice can be ripened three times a year, it will be forcibly promoted by the imperial court, which may greatly alleviate the dilemma of food shortage in the Tang Dynasty.

If the Chameng rice can be promoted in the Tang Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty can increase rice income, then the food problem can be alleviated, and the Sixteen Guards may have sufficient food and wages.

"The lack of food in the hands of the imperial court is given to the army as food and wages, and the soldiers have no food and wages. The first problem is that they cannot eat enough, which leads to their weak body and their combat effectiveness. Even if they practice, they will be unbearable. The second problem is that they seriously reduce the enthusiasm of the soldiers, that is, they reduce morale and dissipate the morale of the army. Such a team cannot balance the Shen Ce Army." Wei Renshi said to Li Chun.

"I have food in my hand, so I'm not panicked." Li Chun also sighed: "I naturally know this principle, but..."

"Prince Chun, have you ever heard of a rice seed called Chameng Rice?" Wei Renshi turned around and asked.

"Chancheng rice?" Li Chun shook his head and said, "I have never heard of it. I have only heard of Lucheng rice, which is the best among rice."

Everyone was also curious and asked, "Brother Renshi, what kind of rice seed is this Chameng rice?"

"It's also the best among rice..." Wei Renshi said: "Under the Annan Protectorate, there is a kingdom of the Rings, which is the former Linyi. There is a rice seed here called Chameng Rice. This rice seed can be ripened three to four a year in the local area."
