Su Chen looked at him as if he were an idiot and said, "Where is Tuyuhun? From the Qilian Mountains to Qinghai Lake in the north, it happens to be on the only route of the Silk Road!"
"It is impossible for Li Er not to know how much benefit the Silk Road can bring: "How can he rest assured if he doesn't completely hold such a key place in his hands?"
What Su Chen said is true, because this is how things developed in history.
With the huge profits brought by the Silk Road every year, how many people can refuse?
After the country became strong, Li Er found any excuse and sent troops to destroy Tuyuhun.
Therefore, Su Chen was not worried at all that Li Er would be stupid enough to agree to their outrageous request.
Changsun Wuji's face turned red when he saw him. He adjusted his breathing and continued: "What if the current emperor wants to fight but can't?"
"Why can't I fight?"
Su Chen asked doubtfully: "The prairie barbarians just run faster. How can they compete with my Tang Dynasty cavalry?"
"The news has been sent back to Mafang, Jiannan Road, that Li Er has confiscated more than 10,000 BMWs."
"This is definitely going to be a fight. You don't have to worry about these things!"
At this point, His Majesty Li Er could no longer pretend to be transparent and said bravely: "I heard... Datang really can't fight this battle."
puff!
The army doesn’t have enough food and fodder?!
Hearing this, Su Chen spit out the tea he just drank, his eyes widened, and he said with disbelief: "What did you say?"
"My Datang is short of food?!"
He was really shocked!
Let’s not mention Hongsu for now.
Speaking of Huiliangyousi hybrid rice, this is super rice!
The king of hybrid rice that later broke the world record!
After the promotion of the Tang Dynasty, people still knocked on the door because of lack of food?
Isn’t this a fantasy?
Although several people had been mentally prepared, they still felt a little uncomfortable when they saw Su Chen's exaggerated expression!
This matter is indeed a bit embarrassing!
Due to the large-scale cultivation of Su rice, the price of food among the people in Datang dropped by a full 50% compared to last year!
This shows how impressive this year’s grain harvest is!
If you don’t understand the connection, normal people would never imagine that the Tang Dynasty would be short of food!
Li Er looked at Su Chen with twitching eyes, feeling something bad in his heart!
This kid will never say anything nice next!
really!
Su Chenshe disappointed him, his eyes widened, and he cursed: "This Li Er is really great at becoming emperor!"
"Datang's output this year, I roughly estimate, is at least ten times that of last year!"
"How can we still be short of food?!"
"Could it be that Li Er exchanged the grain for the elixir and ate it?"
Worried that he would offend His Majesty if he continued talking, Changsun Wuji hurriedly said: "I heard that I can't blame Your Majesty!"
"After the Liaodong land was captured, the current Holy Emperor seems to have accepted the suggestions in your pamphlet."
"To fill in the western Liaoning Corridor, we must seize the time to reclaim the black soil."
"Including the survivors of the former Sui Dynasty and the captives of Goguryeo, nearly a million people were working in Liaodong."
"In order to keep up with the schedule, does the food consumption consume less energy?"
"If we really want to talk about it, this matter has something to do with you!"
Hearing this, Su Chen immediately became unhappy and said, "What does this have to do with me?"
"Even if we open up wasteland on a large scale and start construction on the Liaoxi River, there will be no food shortage!"
"When I wrote this suggestion, I naturally took into account food consumption!"
"There is absolutely no way that this matter will lead to a food shortage in our Datang!"
Changsun Wuji continued: "I haven't finished speaking yet. Didn't you also propose to exchange rice for Tibetan barley wine to control them?"
"I don't know about other places. But in Dingzhou, where we often go, more than half of Guancang Shi's grain went to Tubo!"
"It must be that your proposal has been accepted by the current Holy One!"
Su Chen was still confused and said: "Even if this is true, it is impossible to suddenly consume so much food!"
Changsun Wuji explained: "I don't know how the Lord cares about this matter."
"But according to my guess."
"When we first started this kind of trade with the Tubo people, we must give them some sweetness. We should increase the ratio of grain exchange for highland barley wine so that they won't resist. I think the current emperor thinks so too."
"So it's not surprising that Tubo consumes a lot of food!"
At this moment, Su Chen fell silent and did not speak again.
After a while, Su Chen sighed: "It's really God's will to trick people!"
"I really didn't expect that just a short time ago, Li Er would fall back on his old habit and start to pretend to be fat."
"How do you proceed with this?" Changsun Wuji asked doubtfully.
Su Chen asked back: "Let me ask you, did Tubo capture the entire Tang Dynasty?"
Changsun Wuji nodded.
Su Chen continued: "In that case, how much food to give him, doesn't it mean we have the final say?"
"Even if we increase the ratio of highland barley to rice, we won't consume so much!"
"We are already short of food. Is it possible that Li Er gave us a ratio of one to fifty?"
Upon hearing this number, His Majesty Li Er's eyelids jumped wildly.
In order to speed up the progress, he gave exactly this ratio!
Can this kid even calculate this?
It seems that not only his treasury, but also the granary of the Tang Dynasty are within the scope of Su Chen's calculations!
Although he knew how much food was in the official warehouse, he couldn't remember it so clearly!
After Su Chen finished speaking, Wei Zheng suddenly said: "If it goes as you said, the effect will be too slow."
"Those Tibetan people's countries have just been destroyed, and they are very wary of our Tang Dynasty. It is estimated that it will be difficult to accept this kind of thing in a short time."
"How many years will it take for this strategy to take effect without huge benefits to make them completely let go of their resistance to the Tang Dynasty?"
"So, I think there is nothing wrong with His Majesty's decision."
To Wei Zheng's surprise, Su Chen shook his head and said, "What do you mean no problem?"
"There's a big problem here!"
"This way of thinking about the problem is simply wrong!"
"Tubo is a foreign country. How can we treat it the same way we treat the people of the Tang Dynasty?"
"I'll beat them if they don't obey me. Could it be that my Tang Dao is not sharp enough and they still dare to lose their temper?"
"The purpose of this method I gave Li Er has also been told to you, it is for total control!"
"Why should we take into account their emotions and think about eliminating hatred?"
"What do the soldiers stationed in Tubo do?"
"If there is any resistance, then kill a group of them, and the others won't be obedient?"
