Chapter 539

"Eating meat is the way to cure night blindness?"

Hearing Li Shimin's explanation of the cause of night blindness, the ministers looked at each other and said that they were high-ranking officials. Naturally, they didn't think it was difficult to eat meat. However, it was not a simple thing to want the whole world to eat meat.

"This is my sin. The people all over the world live in poverty and live frugally. They are reluctant to eat a mouthful of meat during the new year's festival, so that they have a persistent disease." Li Shimin said heavily.

Ordinary people don't even have enough food. They eat porridge every day. If the food in their hands can be inserted with chopsticks, it's dry rice. It's a first-class good meal. This treatment is only available to the male labor force at home during busy farming. Eating meat is a luxury.

The eldest sun Wuji was the best at guessing the holy meaning and repeatedly advised: "this is not your Majesty's fault. Compared with the life of previous dynasties, the people of our Dynasty have been too rich."

The ministers nodded and echoed.

Li Shimin shook his head and said, "this is far from enough, otherwise the people will not suffer from this night blindness in nine out of ten."

Compared with the miserable life of the people in other dynasties, the stable life of the Tang Dynasty is indeed better than a hundred times. However, it is impossible for everyone to eat meat.

Mo Wu's discovery this time directly raises the standard of whether the people are rich. I'm afraid it will be determined by the proportion of night blindness in the future. When the night blindness of the people all over the world disappears, I'm afraid we can really be regarded as rich in the world and everyone lives and works in peace and contentment.

Su Lingnong, the big farmer, said proudly, "why is it difficult to eat meat? Now the method of artificial fish culture and artificial incubation technology have been popularized. Over time, there will be flocks of chickens and ducks in the world, and fish and meat will be placed on the table of ordinary people like meals."

Quan Wanji retorted: "there are too many chickens and ducks. There is too much food to lose. At that time, no one will eat. How can we raise chickens and ducks."

As we all know, it is impossible for chickens and ducks to grow and order by eating grass and insects alone. Food must be supplemented. Datang's food is not rich. If there are too many chickens and ducks, I'm afraid they will compete with people for food rations!

Su Lingnong snorted coldly: "before, I proposed to implement pesticides to increase grain production on a large scale. Unfortunately, I was obstructed by some short-sighted people. Now I feel that there is not enough food."

Quan Wan Jidun groaned. Now it seems that it is really his fault. If Datang can't eat enough food, he will naturally consider raising chickens and ducks, which will not be lack of meat..

Li Shimin waved his big hand and said, "at this time, we will discuss it from the long term. Now it is approaching the wheat harvest season. This time, we will see the effect of all the pesticides used in the Mohist experimental field."

The officials knew that it was only a matter of time before the imperial court could release the restrictions on pesticides under the threat of widespread night blindness in the Tang Dynasty.

Su Lingnong turned his words and pointed out: "but speaking of it, raising chickens and ducks in captivity is indeed a waste of food. If I could have a place with abundant water and grass in Datang, specially raising cattle and sheep for the people of Datang, I'm afraid people all over the world would recover from night blindness without medicine!"

The man Dynasty's civil and military were stunned and looked at Su Lingnong in disbelief. All the people who could survive in the court were human beings. Naturally, they could hear Su Lingnong's meaning. No one thought that Su Lingnong, a good man who never competed in the court, even pointed his sword at the land of Qinghai.

Li Shimin also accidentally looked at Su Lingnong and said, "Su Aiqing, speak frankly."

Su Lingnong said: "Although breeding alone can alleviate the problem of meat eating by the people all over the world, it is not conducive to the people's livelihood. It will also lead to the rise of food prices in Datang and the people's struggle to open up wasteland. This is contrary to your Majesty's policy of governing the Yellow River. For today's plan, the best way is for Datang to obtain the land of Qinghai, set up counties in imitation of the previous dynasty, and take the land of Qinghai as the land of Datang to graze cattle and horses The people of the Tang Dynasty transported meat. In this way, we can not only save domestic food, but also ensure that the people are not short of meat. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone? "

All the officials of the Manchu Dynasty were in an uproar. No one thought that the farmhouse, which is harmless to humans and animals, should put forward such a radical proposition in a vain attempt to annex the land of Qinghai.

Quan Wanji suddenly changed his face and said, "Lord Su, our Dynasty is a state of etiquette. This expedition is forced to fight back. How can it be to annex other countries? In this way, what is the difference between our Dynasty and the violent Sui Dynasty? How can your majesty explain the name of Tian Khan to the ministries of the western regions?"

Many Confucian scholars could not help but agree. After the elimination of Turks in the Tang Dynasty, they did not annex an inch of grassland. After defeating Tuyuhun in history, they also let Tuyuhun recover the country, which is dominated by the Confucian thought of benevolence and righteousness.

Su Lingnong gave Quan Wanji a cold look and said, "it's not allowed, that's not allowed. The empty mouth and white teeth of Confucianism can cure the night blindness of tens of millions of people in the Tang Dynasty."

Immediately Quan Wanji and others choked, and their faces were blue and red.

"People are doing what heaven sees, and annexing other countries is a tyrannical thing. If our Tang Dynasty does such an act against heaven, it will be punished by heaven." Quan Wanji argued.

Su Lingnong sneered: "Heaven's curse. I don't know whether the dog eating day is heaven's curse. Soon it will be the first day of May. Then I'll see whether the dog eating day is heaven's curse or something destined to happen."

The Minister of Manchu Dynasty's eyes flashed slightly. At the ink technology exhibition, Merton announced that there would be a solar eclipse in early May. However, although it can be calculated according to Merton's theory, more people still doubt it.

A group of Confucian scholars immediately thought that if there was a solar eclipse on the first day of May, it meant that the solar eclipse could be calculated. I'm afraid the so-called scourge would be nonsense, and the blow to Confucianism would be fatal.

"Well, we'll discuss this matter later. It's not too late to discuss it until the army wins and returns." Li Shimin waved his big hand to stop this debate. At the moment, the army is out. Datang is now mainly stable and fully supports the western expedition. Naturally, there can't be chaos in the hall first.

However, everyone knows that with the continuous overcoming of drought, locusts and floods, the effect of heaven and man induction on limiting imperial power is greatly reduced. If it is confirmed that Tiangou's eating day is false, I'm afraid only the Earth Dragon is left to turn over.

However, what they don't know is that now Li Shimin began to doubt the Earth Dragon turn over and began to inquire about the truth of the Earth Dragon turn over.

The ministers withdrew one after another, but their minds wanted to fly to the first day of May.

Not only in the court hall, but also among the people, the same rumors are spreading, and everyone is looking forward to it.

Time is like a white horse crossing the gap. With the passing of day by day, soon, April passed quietly,

It's the first day of May.
