Chapter 429

After Li Yuan returned to the palace, the whole harem became a pot of porridge.

A kind of poker is very popular in the imperial palace.

And in the Ministry of agriculture.

At this time, Fang Xuanling was sad.

Although the patient should have passed, and the results are still very remarkable, this person still has to eat after all.

The grain makers of Datang basically lost all their money in this locust plague.

The wheat and corn in the field are piled on the ground, even some teeth.

These things, which were originally fine grain, have now become things that even cattle and horses dislike.

So far this year, it was a harvest season, but the statistics of the Ministry of agriculture made Fang Xuanling tremble all over.

Longyou's total income has become zero!

What is this concept?

Jiannan Road, the west of Henan Road, and other places, as long as they are close to the local makers of Tubo, there will be no harvest!

This terrible thing immediately flustered Fang Xuanling.

And still dare not announce it to the public.

Once this matter is announced, it will certainly put Datang into crisis in a short time, not to mention three fierce tigers around Datang.

At this time, all the ministers looked at the documents in their hands and felt nervous

"Do you want to report this matter to the emperor now?"

"We can't even control this matter. Although all the grain storage in Datang can basically maintain that Datang will not fall into hunger this year, and there is even a surplus. In addition, if the grain from the south is transported to the north and the west, and now the grain storage in various states is basically maintained at about 5 million stones, it is still possible to maintain a good grain harvest next year..."

"But in this way, we have to reduce our grain exports as much as possible."

Fang Xuanling touched her beard and frowned and asked, "how much is it compressed?"

"Half!"

"Half?"

Now, the key to maintaining the relationship and launching the household extinction plan lies in food. By then, if grain exports are reduced by half, what will neighboring countries find in an instant.

This

What should I do?

The Turkic plan has just started and has not yet entered the large-scale exchange of war horses for food. At this time, if it is done like this, it will really make these people aware of it instantly.

"Go! Follow me to the grain field outside Chang'an city to see the specific situation!"

After all, Fang Xuanling decided to go to the fields in person. At worst, he had to go to the dragon head mountain to see the food in the imperial villa.

"Lord Fang, you don't have to go. We have already received the ears of wheat sent from below, about 300 stones collected around."

"Where is it?"

"It's in the backyard."

Several people hurried to the backyard.

Suddenly, the smell of malt floating in the air and a unique sour smell after fermentation filled the breath of several people.

On the baskets of wheat ears, the shriveled ones were like the mouth of an old woman, and the wheat grains that had not yet been fully opened came out with yellow and tender buds!

Is this still edible?

Fang Xuanling trembled, picked out a few ears of wheat with less malt from the frame and peeled them. The unsaturated wheat grains were yellowish and moldy at this time. They were put in his mouth. The sour taste made Fang Xuanling retch.

This or how?

No wonder you don't even eat chicken, duck, cattle and horses.

How do you eat this?

This good food, damn grasshopper.

It's all ruined.

Even now, what's the use of making more money?

"Mr. Fang... What do you think we should do now?"

"Now is to report to the emperor?"

"Or shall we check it again?"

"Check again! I want the most detailed data. I don't believe that the locust will destroy all the crops!"

"Yes!"

It's too big.

Now the emperor finally got out of his previous worries, and his relationship with the emperor has been better in recent days. He doesn't want to disturb the emperor at this juncture.

Moreover, this is only the result of the preliminary investigation.

If this thing is not done well, it will certainly cause a series of reactions. Even Zhenla, who has established diplomatic relations with Datang, will not establish diplomatic relations with Datang at the first time, but the Guanlong group, which has just been suppressed, is bound to rise at this time, not to mention the Shandong gentry who like to make use of the topic?

That is the real crisis

As for food, at this time, Datang had enough food to deal with everything in front of him, but only a very few people knew about it.

Datang's grain storage is far more than that.

Three months of secretly storing grain, coupled with the grain of Tubo and Tuyuhun, even if Datang did not grow crops for three years, he would not die of hunger!

The most important thing is that these forces that have just been suppressed, as well as the five surnames and seven looks who have never appeared, are real tigers.

……

When all the officials of the Ministry of agriculture further investigated the matter, Zhang Feng's Tavern welcomed several people again.
