"Xiao Yi, eat. We can think about other things later." Bi Goo picked up a piece of goose wing and prepared to eat.
"Okay, when there are more potatoes, let's stew them. They're better than yams. Yams are more resistant to stew, and the potatoes will be gone soon. "
There were only geese and mushrooms in the iron pot, but there were stir-fried vegetables beside the yams. They were stir-fried wood ears and carrots.
Li Yi picked up the goose head. It was a two-year-old goose raised by Zhuangzi.
He skillfully dissected it and placed it in front of Princess Yongmu on a big plate. Only then did he pick up the leg of the goose.
Everyone was used to it and didn't feel anything wrong.
"I still can't forget the potatoes I ate last time!" Li Longji remembered that Li Yi had exchanged his life for potatoes and tasted them before.
This time, they were all sprouted and couldn't be eaten. They were all planted in the ground.
"I'll organize the planting time and harvest time of the new crops in different regions, as well as the different planting methods.
Including the rules of interplanting and continuous planting with other crops. Chang 'an is different from Henan, and it will be different in Suzhou.
Shu and Dongting Lake are near each other, so we need to distinguish them.
Guangzhou has a short growing period, so potatoes are usually not tasty. It's better to plant indica rice.
In addition, the Hengye Army and the Celestial Army don't have the support of the Tiele tribe. We can transfer the troops of the Hedong Jiedushi to replace them. The Chanyu Protectorate should have enough logistical support. "
As Li Yi spoke of the matter of planting, he thought of the troops deployed to deal with the Later Turks.
The Later Turks were too troublesome. They could attack from anywhere.
"I've already given them canned food, tea leaves, military coats, medicinal herbs, including thermos bottles and kerosene lamps. I'm just afraid that they'll sell them privately."
Su Yi was in charge of this. The imperial court had a lot of money, so he tried to provide Baggage to the border.
Song Jing continued, "The nine families of Tiele add up to more than 300,000 people. It's a pity that we only raise them in the Tang dynasty!"
"Raise them first. We're not eating for free. They work and contribute more resources to the Tang dynasty.
We'll raise them for a while and send them out when needed. Our families are in the Tang dynasty, so we're not afraid of them rebelling.
There were more outside, and they could send people to persuade them to surrender. There was a place in the west of Tong Prefecture, so they could move there.
When fighting on the grasslands, we still have to rely on them to determine the outcome. When the weather is bad, the other soldiers won't be able to withstand it. "
Li Yi understood the situation. Tiele was a general term, and there were surnames in it.
Now, they were targeting the nine families, and there were more.
If he let them out, he would have to worry about them betraying him at any time.
When his family members got used to living in the Tang dynasty and felt that life was better, he would transfer those who could fight to other places.
"Let's eat, let's not talk about politics!"
Li Longji looked at them. How did they get back to the topic of eating? Hurry up and call him back.
Otherwise, if she had to worry about eating, she wouldn't be able to eat well.
…
"Motherf * cker, I've never eaten such a fragrant chicken in my life. It's a pity that I can't kill anyone. Eating good food makes me feel guilty. "
On Hedong Road, in the Heavenly Soldier Army's camp 50 li north, Yi Zi was eating dinner with his brothers.
They took the initiative to come out and patrol, ready to engage in battle at any time.
The Xi Tribe and Khitans in the east should have been on guard, but because of Li Yi's series of actions, that side was stable.
Since they were not afraid of the flanks, they were free to enter the grassland.
At night, they used a large enamel jar to heat up the can of braised chicken to eat. There were no bones in the can, it was all chicken thigh meat.
This was a temporary camp that had been discussed in advance. The canned food had just been delivered from the Heavenly Soldier Army, and there was also steamed and dried rice.
After soaking in water and heating it up, it became fragrant rice again.
The camp was filled with the smell of blood. Pheasants, roe deer, wolves, rabbits, deer, and chamois were simply processed and hung up.
When the blood was about to flow, they asked the people who delivered the food to bring it back.
These things all had meat, but the soldiers didn't eat them. After sending them back, they skinned and dried them. A portion of the meat was stored, and the rest was sent to Chang 'an.
Chang 'an sent them Baggage, and they paid tribute.
Baggage had the most canned food. The cooked food was better than the meat they processed themselves. Who still wanted to eat wild game?
"Li Dongzhu now has money to buy things for us. Li Dongzhu can always sell the wild game we send back at a very high price."
A sergeant next to him chewed on a can of bamboo shoots soaked in salt and said in an unclear voice.
"Your Majesty, don't talk too much about Li Dongzhu. When the time comes, the border will only know Li Dongzhu, but not Your Majesty. Where do you want to trap Li Dongzhu?"
Zi Jiang corrected. His Majesty and Li Dongzhu had a good relationship. They couldn't sow discord.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Your Majesty asked Li Dongzhu to think of a way. Your Majesty really knows how to use people. Do you still have oily duck eggs? Give me one. We can eat it together. "
The sergeant quickly changed his words and looked around for the salted duck eggs.
"If you eat too salty, you'll have to get up at night to drink water."
"If there are many people, everyone will eat one chopstick."
"Are we still going to sell tea tomorrow? We can hear some useful news. "
"Tea leaves are water. Tea leaves can't be sold. Selling military supplies is a big crime. Let's take the enamel jar there and boil some tea leaves for them to drink."
"Yes, water. The Turks can't be controlled anymore. Many tribes are herding here. "
"If we report the situation, will they send a message to Li Dongzhu? This is a profitable business that can be exchanged for sheep. "
"At most half a month. If they don't give me a reply, I'll go to Chang 'an and find Li Dongzhu."
Everyone ate and chatted. They were very satisfied with their current life. The logistics were good.
As long as they could think of something, Chang 'an would send it over. If they couldn't think of something, they would still send it over.
At the location of the Celestial Soldier Army, Ambassador Zhang Jiazhen met with the commander of the Hengye Army, Zhang Zhiyun.
The Celestial Soldier Army and the Hengye Army were hundreds of miles apart.
Usually, the two of them wouldn't meet as they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to deal with an emergency.
Today, Zhang Zhiyun came over and Zhang Jiazhen asked him for a lot of things. It would be best if he could send over all the fermented bean curd from the Hengye Army.
Zhang Zhiyun was curious and brought all the fermented bean curd jars to the Celestial Soldier Army.
"Ambassador Zhang, why do you need so much fermented bean curd? We still want to eat it. "
Zhang Zhiyun was more direct. He didn't exchange greetings and asked about the doubts in his heart.
"Zhiyun, have a seat. Drink some tea." Zhang Jiazhen greeted.
"I haven't eaten. Drinking tea makes me hungrier. What good food do you have here?" Zhang Zhiyun refused to drink tea.
"If you don't drink tea, let's eat fermented bean curd now. Are you hungry?" Zhang Jiazhen asked someone to prepare two bowls of green tea.
"Let's drink tea. At least I'll be full temporarily. Fermented bean curd is not only salty, but it also makes me hungrier." Zhang Zhiyun chose tea.
"When the soldiers at the front brought fermented bean curd out, they found that the Turks like to eat fermented bean curd.
In the past, they ate too much meat and needed to drink tea to relieve their indigestion. Tea cakes and tea bricks are the best.
Since the soldiers came into contact with them and gave them fermented bean curd, they found that fermented bean curd can also relieve the discomfort caused by eating too much meat. "
Zhang Jiazhen explained the reason why she wanted fermented bean curd from Zhang Zhiyun. It was good to exchange for something or give it to him for information. In any case, it was useful.
"Is that so? I know that fermented bean curd has to be eaten with rice. A mouthful of fermented bean curd or a large mouthful of biscuits and rice will do.
Why don't you ask for it from Chang 'an? I'll bring it here for you. It won't be long before we run out of food. "
Zhang Zhiyun also liked to eat fermented bean curd. Having a piece of fermented bean curd for a meal was a form of enjoyment. Many soldiers ate a piece of fermented bean curd in pairs.
"It takes time to send someone to deliver a letter. You're nearby." Zhang Jiazhen gave a reason.
"Let's eat first. I'll eat two pieces to satisfy my craving." Zhang Zhiyun thought about how he wouldn't be able to eat fermented bean curd for many days and decided to eat more.
