For the next few days, the days were repeated.
Li Shimin seems to have returned to the time when he was galloping on the field, riding a horse in jeans every day to chase his prey.
This kind of pleasure of chasing on the horse made Li Shimin even a little addicted to it, and he couldn't extricate himself.
Compared with the accumulation of official documents in the court, those headaches of political affairs and personnel, hunting on horseback is undoubtedly more refreshing.
The harvest of hunting every day is very large.
Wild boars, wild deer, roe deer, muntjac, bears, tigers, leopards, wolves, and even crocodiles, pythons, all kinds of prey, there are really a lot of them in the mountains of Junju.
When chasing and hunting these beasts, Li Shimin felt that he was back on the battlefield and conquered one enemy after another.
These days, he has completely left behind political affairs, although Xiangyang has sent it over every day that day, and the two servants of Fang Du who stayed behind will be sent to Li Shimin to watch after disposing of it.
But Li Shimin didn't bother to look at it, he just wanted to relax for a few days now.
He even learned the technique of grilling, and the heat was excellent, and even the time and amount of cumin, pepper and salt were very good.
I got up at dawn, took the guards to the mountains and forests to hunt, and in the evening, I had a barbecue in the camp, and talked about everything on the battlefield in the past with the generals such as Wei Chigong and Hou Junji.
Wei Zheng and some other ministers couldn't stand it, and Li Shimin ignored several admonitions.
Later, the guards simply didn't let them go to meet them.
Wei Zheng was stubborn, and when he couldn't see the emperor, he came to annoy Li Chao.
Li Chao was engaged to Wei Zheng's son because his sister Lian'er had to be called Wei Zheng's uncle.
For Wei Zheng's entanglement, he couldn't avoid it.
Marching and hunting every day, these are not difficult for Wei Zheng, he can be regarded as a man who broke through in the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, with Li Mi, Dou Jiande, Li Jiancheng and many other people, there are many people who go in and out of the battlefield, and riding horses is not a problem.
After a busy day, he still has a lot of energy.
As soon as he set up camp, Wei Zheng ran over again, and Li Chao was sitting in front of the tent with a handsaw sawing a freshly cut bamboo.
Eating barbecue every day, it is also a little greasy, Li Chao is going to make some bamboo tube rice to eat.
Bamboo tube rice is actually quite simple, cut off a section of bamboo tube, make a small hole at one end, fill it with an appropriate amount of rice and water, take the leaves to block the hole, and then put it into the fire pile to roast.
When the surface of the bamboo tube is charred, the rice is cooked.
Take a knife to split the bamboo tube, the rice is wrapped in bamboo film, soft and delicious, with the fragrance of bamboo and the fragrance of rice.
You can even mix the meat directly into the glutinous rice, add a little salt and bake it together, and it will be even more delicious to bake it into fragrant glutinous rice.
Li Chao sawed a bamboo tube, then made a hole the size of a copper coin at one end, and poured the glutinous rice and diced ham into it.
Wei Zheng also picked up the handsaw and sawed a section of bamboo tube, then made a hole, and then filled the wooden bowl next to it with glutinous grain and diced ham.
The last time Wei Zheng came to pester Li Chaoshi, he liked this delicacy after eating bamboo ham and glutinous rice once.
Li Chao even suspected that now Wei Zheng came here every day in the name of looking for Li Chao to persuade the Son of Heaven to deal with political affairs, in fact, he came to eat in this bright light.
"It would be nice if ordinary people also had the hunting skills of government soldiers, in this big mountain, deep in the mountains and old forests, although it is remote, but there are really a lot of things.
There are a lot of all kinds of birds and animals, as well as all kinds of wild vegetables and wild roots that can be eaten.
Coming out of Xiangyang, it's only been ten days, I feel like I'm still getting fat, I eat meat every day, and I have to eat a meal at night. ” Seeing Wei Zheng talking nonsense there, Li Chao didn't talk to him.
When he didn't know Wei Zheng before, Li Chao always thought that Wei Zheng was the kind of Hai Rui and Bao Formula, but after a long time of contact, Li Chao felt that Wei Zheng was a very cunning old man.
Or you can't describe it as an old man, in fact, he is quite young.
However, although Wei Zheng is upright, he is by no means pedantic, a very smart guy, and he is very good at speaking and doing things.
"Ordinary people don't have this kind of hunting ability, and when they come to this deep mountain and old forest, not only will they not be able to catch prey, but they may also become the food of fierce beasts.
You may even lose your way and be injured by poisonous insects and beasts. ” The imperial court now called on the people to find ways to dig wild vegetables to fish and hunt, and various localities also organized young people to go deep into the mountains to hunt, but they did not dare to go too deep into the mountains.
Ordinary people are not government soldiers.
The government soldiers are specially trained, it is better to have skills or equipment, they are very good, and there is good command, how can ordinary people have this.
Not to mention the tigers and wolves, even if they encounter fierce wild boars, they may not be able to do it.
Don't look at the soldiers who hunt every day now, and the harvest is extremely rich, but what kind of people are these ordinary people who go into the mountains to hunt, in fact, the harvest is limited.
Dozens or hundreds of people, going into the mountains to shoot one or two wild boars and a few rabbits a day, or lucky to shoot a few deer, that's very good.
"When will Your Majesty return to Xiangyang" Wei Zheng blocked the bamboo tube and put it on the fire.
"In a few more days, half a month at most.
Your Majesty is actually not the kind of ridiculous king who hunts and frolicks and ignores political affairs, but it is indeed quite stressful now.
This time it was hard to come out, so I wanted to relax.

Your Majesty's self-control is very good, and he will go back when he is almost done.
In fact, you don't have to worry, the situation in the imperial court is still very good now. ” "It's good, there are people everywhere."
Wei Zheng said politely.
"It's true that there are a lot of people affected by the disaster, but a few people died, the relief strength of the imperial court, and the effect of disaster relief, are unprecedented, even if it was the time of Emperor Kaihuang of Sui, known as the prosperous era, but in the event of a catastrophe, it seems that they have not achieved such relief now, now, at least everyone still has something to eat, although they can't eat enough, but at least they still have a house to live and eat, so they don't have to be displaced, and they don't have to worry about being afraid."
Wei Zheng nodded, "This is true, this time the disaster is very serious, but the imperial court has really done the ultimate and saved countless victims."
Speaking of which, Wen Yuanju has made great contributions. ” "Famines are common, but they are not terrible.
What is terrible is the man-made disaster after the famine, and the local officials are unwilling to report the disaster in time, or even conceal it, resulting in the imperial court being unable to grasp the real situation in the disaster area in time and make wrong judgments.
The second is the disposal of the imperial court, this time the imperial court timely transferred grain into the disaster area, and vigorously controlled the food supply, plus the grain processing into relief grain, with limited food, but more people can have something to eat.
It can be said that the outbreak of famine caused by disasters has been greatly reduced by several measures such as migration and cash-for-work. ” Wei Zheng smiled, "Do you know, now those big families secretly call you King Li Yan, and some even call you Li Papi." ” "Of course I know, but I don't care."
Many of these disaster relief strategies led by Li Chao infringed on the interests of local magnates, but Li Chao didn't care.
If you want to do something practical, you can't be afraid of it.
He did damage the interests of some wealthy people, but in fact, he didn't offend much, from the perspective of the overall situation, what Li Chao did in exchange for stability.
A stability is actually of great benefit to all.
"Do things for the people, don't be afraid of offending the powerful and powerful, I admire you very much."
Wei Zheng said seriously, "However, this time the imperial court bought so much grain, and now most of it is white, after this disaster is over, how can the imperial court pay it back?"
"As long as the disaster can be successfully passed, will those still be a thing?"
It is indeed a matter of owing the white slips to the big households, but Li Chao doesn't pay much attention to it.
The imperial court can give these people some land in the frontier, or give them tax exemptions, etc., in short, this is not a big problem.
Breaking a few dead branches and throwing them into the fire, Wei Zheng said to Li Chao, "This time the imperial court used your method to search for tens of millions of people, which is really surprising." ” If you add the previous cleaning and rectification of Buddhist temples, the population of Datang has more than doubled in one year.
"The Sui Rebellion has only been more than ten years, and the number of people who died in the war is actually not too large.
At the time of the Great Cause, the population of the world was nearly 50 million, and this is still the official number of registered people, and there are many people who are not registered.
It turned out that the number of registered people in the imperial court was only 15 million, and the population of the world could have lost 30 or 40 million in more than ten years, but because of the war, most of them had become hidden households, and now even if it increases by 10 million, the population of the Tang Dynasty is only 30 million, and there is still a difference of 20 million people from the time of the Great Cause. ” This time, a lot of people were indeed cleared, but Li Chao estimated that there were still many people who did not come out.
Conservatively estimated, there are still at least 10 million or 20 million people who have not yet been cleared.
Those big families, the population of which family has been cleared out, but only part of it has been released, and even some powerful wealthy families have not let go at all this time.
Some even took the opportunity to add some more people.
But even so, in less than a year, the imperial court has added more than 10 million new people to naturalization, doubling the registered population.
"With such a large number of people, how to resettle them after the disaster?"
"Of course it's impossible, it's finally cleared out, how can it be possible to let them return to the control of big households.
These people, the imperial court will give them land and grant them land, so that they can become the teachers of the imperial court and become the cornerstone of the Tang Dynasty's strength. ” "How can there be so much land in the world to divide" Wei Zheng asked, "Even if it is Shuofang and Longyou, there is no land to divide."
"There are also Hetao and Hexi, which can also relocate and resettle many immigrants and cultivate land for development."
"And Daibei."
Wei Zheng shook his head, "These places are not fertile places, and they can't accommodate many people. ” Li Chao smiled, it was really not enough to immigrate to the north, but he didn't think about moving more than 10 million people to the northern border.
In addition to the north, there is also the south.
Not to mention the development of Lingnan now, at least now we can develop Shannan, Dongshannan, Nanxi.
Just a Hunan and Hubei region, later generations have become a big granary to replace Susong in the south of the Yangtze River.
The lake is wide and ripe, and the world is full Li Chao persuaded Li Shimin to move the capital to Dengzhou, which was to develop Shannan.
Shannan Dong, Jiangnan West, Guizhou Middle Road, these three roads, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Guizhou, and Sichuan in later generations, only the Yangtze River, the Hanshui Basin of the Jianghan Plain, developed is quite amazing.
Now many places have not been developed, or those barbarians and fangs are the mainstay, as long as the imperial court immigrates to the past, divides the land and grants land, and leads the development, it can still make a great difference.
Developing Jianghan, Wei Zheng admired more and more after listening to it, Li Chao's heart is really big.
"By the way, I plan to wait for a few years to let Shuyu marry Ling Mei."
Wei Zheng said suddenly.
Li Chao was a little caught off guard, "It's too early, the sister is only thirteen this year." ” "Thirteen, it's not small, the sunflower must have come, you can pass the door."
Tiankui, your sister, you Wei Lao doesn't cultivate, you actually mention this, Tiankui, that's the girls' aunt, you are Lian'er's future father-in-law, I am her eldest brother, you mentioned to me that Lian'er's aunt didn't come, is this appropriate?
Wei Zheng was glared at by Li Chao, and felt a little inexplicable, did he say something wrong In this era, there is a criterion for whether a girl can get married, that is, whether she comes to the sunflower or not.
If you have been to Geranium, it means that you can have children, which naturally means that you are mature, and of course you can get married. t1706231537:
