Chapter Five Hundred and Four: Yizhou Eighteen Riders
After pondering for a moment, Li Min couldn't help but said: "If you plant trees on the edge of the desert, naturally the Populus euphratica trees will be the easiest to survive."
Hearing this, the envoys from various countries couldn't help but exchange looks, and they all saw shock in each other's eyes.
It turns out that this King of Shu was not innocent.
How could he, a prince from the Central Plains, know about Populus euphratica in the desert?
It seems that this King of Shu really knows everything about the three religions and nine schools of thought, and the hundreds of schools of thought know everything!
What a talented person!
Li Min continued: "When planting, it is not easy to survive because of drought. If you want to improve the survival rate, you can do this. You prepare a jar and fill it with water. Then when planting the tree, put part of the tree
Put the roots in a jar, seal the jar, and bury it."
"In this way, the water in this jar can be preserved for at least one or two months. With this buffer time, the trees planted can basically survive! After you go back, you can try this method.
"
After listening to Li Min's method, the envoy from the small country couldn't help but his eyes suddenly lit up.
I have to say that after listening to this method, I will feel that it is feasible.
With this method, they can curb desertification outside their countries.
Their land will not be encroached by the desert every year.
Not just the envoys from that small country, but also envoys from other countries, even Li Shimin and those ministers.
After hearing this method, everyone looked thoughtful.
This method is absolutely simple and effective.
It's so simple that you only need to hear this method and you can easily implement it.
But with such a simple and effective method, why has no one been able to come up with it for so many years?
And what about the King of Shu? I just thought of it casually, this is the gap!
Well, okay, actually this method was gradually discovered by later generations in the process of sand control and afforestation.
The envoy of the small country couldn't help but bowed deeply to Li Min and said sincerely: "On behalf of all the people in our country, I would like to thank His Highness the King of Shu of the Tang Dynasty for his guidance."
Li Min smiled slightly and said: "Everyone has the responsibility to manage the desert, so there is no need to thank you."
The envoy from the small country then asked: "His Royal Highness, King Shu of the Tang Dynasty, does not know how to grow crops in the desert. Do you know?"
This issue is the top priority!
They really hope that the King of Shu can solve this problem in a simple and effective way just like he just solved the problem of tree planting on the edge of the desert.
In this way, it will benefit a lot for all countries, and it can even change their destiny.
Li Min smiled and said: "Of course there are ways. The grassland soil is not suitable for the growth of most plants. But potatoes can still grow, and the potato harvest is still good. One acre of land can produce at least two thousand kilograms.
, and can also be used as a staple food.”
Hearing Li Min's answer, the envoy from the small country couldn't help being surprised and happy. He couldn't help but ask: "His Royal Highness, King Shu of the Tang Dynasty, what kind of crop are these potatoes? How do they taste?"
Li Min smiled slightly and said, "You were in the food city yesterday. Did you eat hot and sour potato shreds?"
The envoy from the small country nodded repeatedly and said: "I have eaten it. It is very delicious. It is a delicacy that I have rarely seen in my life."
Li Min smiled slightly and said, "The potatoes I'm talking about are the raw materials for making spicy and sour potato shreds."
The envoy from the small country couldn't help but asked in surprise: "His Royal Highness, King Shu of the Tang Dynasty, is this true?"
Li Min laughed and said, "Of course it's true!"
The envoy from the small country asked with anxiety: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty the King of Shu in the Tang Dynasty, can you sell us some of these potatoes? As for the price, don't worry, we will definitely pay a high price!"
Li Min pondered for a moment and said: "This question, hahaha! Let's discuss it later, let's discuss it later! Let's talk about your problem first. Did I give a perfect answer?"
The envoy from the small country nodded repeatedly and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu of the Tang Dynasty, your knowledge is the only one I have seen in my life. My admiration for Your Highness is like the endless river!"
…
At this time, Tuyuhun's envoy Futa stood up.
"His Royal Highness the King of Shu, we would like to see the majesty of the Tang army. Is that okay?"
After hearing what the messenger said, Li Min couldn't help but nodded slightly.
In fact, even if Tuyuhun's envoy did not mention this request, Li Min would definitely use an excuse to show off the military power of the Tang Dynasty.
It is not enough to overwhelm them with the topic alone.
We must give them enough force to deter them so that they feel afraid and dare not act rashly.
But Tuyuhun's envoy, instead of raising any difficult questions, actually raised the issue very intelligently.
It is indeed very wise.
Thinking of this, Li Min couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay, since you all want to see it, let me show you the standing strength of the Yizhou Nineteenth Cavalry!"
Yizhou Eighteen Riders?
Hearing this name, they couldn't help but think of the Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun.
Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry is said to have been created by Luo Yi.
People at that time often described him as: as fast as the wind, as fierce as fire, leaving no grass behind wherever he went. With a strong bow and scimitar, good at riding and shooting, he could fight one against a hundred without losing a single one.
The Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry takes the horn as an order and only obeys the orders of its master Luo Yi. The Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry is a very terrifying killer unit. Every time the Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry appears, it will bring about a tragic event.
Massive killing.
And is the current Yizhou Eighteen Cavalry modeled after the Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry?
Just when everyone was confused, Li Min led the envoys from various countries forward.
Everyone, the terrain here is narrow and it is inconvenient to display. Please come with me.
After a while, they came to an open area, with a forest in front of them.
Then Li Min gave an order, and suddenly there was the sound of horse hooves coming from a distance.
Immediately after, what came into everyone's sight were eighteen handsome white horses.
Each horse is extremely strong and powerful, with golden hooves shining brightly, as if they are horseshoes made of gold.
The knight on horseback is all dressed in white attire, white cloak, and wears a silver-moon scimitar at his waist.
These eighteen cavalry are as if they are on war horses, and the man and the horse are one.
The eighteen knights advanced in a staggered and confusing manner, which was so confusing that it was difficult to see their formation clearly.
They were like a whirlwind, extremely fast.
When they were a hundred steps away from the woods, they suddenly started to gallop together. The horses stamped their feet in unison, raised their front hooves high, and roared to the sky.
The eighteen riders stopped at the same time, which was so neat that it was shocking.
Next, the eighteen horsemen took off their long bows at the same time, bent their bows and shot arrows together, with the target facing the small woods in front of them.
