Li Ying listened to Li Chongjiu and looked up and nodded gently.

Looking at Li Ying so simple and honest, they couldn’t help laughing.
Ps is still asking for praise at the end of the chapter, and it is about to fall off the list and ask for help from everyone.

Chapter six hundred and twenty-four The embargo
After coming back from Li Ying, Li Chongjiu returned to Ganyang Hall to deal with politics.
Yu Shinan Zhang Xuansu, who was on duty in the central province, came together.
"Jiang Shan ensemble, please let Xu Yuanlang Xu Yi worry about his father’s death so that the two people can." Li Chongjiu couldn’t help frowning when he saw the memorial. "I originally wanted the Xu family’s father’s head and he actually disobeyed me."
Yu Shinan said, "There is a reason for everything. When Jiang Shanhe entered the city, he pretended to surrender …"
Yu Shinan told Li Chongjiu the story of Xu Shixi Wang Bo Jiang Shanhe’s plan. "There are still these twists and turns. If not, you can’t take Yanzhou Jiang Shanhe’s promise that Xu Yuanlang’s father will not die so quickly. Although it is independent, it is understandable."
Zhang Xuansu said, "I heard that after Xu Yuanlang was captured, he cursed his faithlessness, honesty and shame in front of the jailer all day and all night."
Li Chongjiu listened, "Is there such a thing?"
Zhang Xuansu said, "Pursuing Xu Yuanlang is a way to die. This person must not be let go."
"But General Jiang has promised him so. Aren’t we treacherous?" Yu Shinan objected.
Zhang Xuansu said, "It was Jiang Shanhe’s promise but he didn’t give him this big recovery, that is, he would give Jiang Shanhe some compensation then."
Yu Shinan said, "But it’s a matter of publicity."
Li Chongjiu said, "You are no longer arguing about this matter. I have already advocated that I am now satisfied with the embargo on China in the past two months?"
Zhang Xuansu said, "I was just about to tell you that the land routes of Luoyang Middle Waterway have been set up with checkpoints guarded by foot soldiers to strictly investigate the past vendors. According to the instructions, all food and salt involved are subject to ten times heavy taxes."
Li Chongjiu said, "It’s not easy to do this. Although we set up checkpoints, there are also profit-seeking people. We should give serious treatment to such people in smuggling."
Zhang Xuansu said, "I will make the soldiers strictly supervise this matter."
Li Chongjiu said, "I’m relieved that Zhang Aiqing is doing things, so can the grain price fluctuate in the two months since the embargo?"
Zhang Xuansu said, "It is reported that the climate in this year is good and the weather is good, although it is not only a normal year."
"What about normal years last year?" Li Chongjiu asked carefully.
"Not bad, too."
Zhang Xuansu smiled here and laughed. "But even if it is good, it is also impossible to be self-sufficient in normal years. From the big Sui country, COFCO rice has to be transported by Jianghuai rice. Every year, at least a million stones are needed to transport grain. After reaching Luoyang, all the way through Sanmenxia North Road is by land and then by Weishui River. Now the Yellow River waterway is a card. Where is the grain ship going west?"
Li Chongjiu listened and asked, "Didn’t you say that Sanmenxia is difficult to sail?"
Zhang Xuansu said, "It’s true that it’s very difficult to sail against the current to the Yellow River through Sanmenxia. Therefore, stone rings or holes have been drilled in the rocks on the north bank of the river in the past dynasties, and then the holes are inserted with cross bars and planks to pull the fiber plank road, so that the trackers can pull the boat against the current. Even so, Sanmenxia still suffers from shipwrecks from time to time. By the time of the great cause of seven years, the bottom column collapsed, the Yanhe River went against the current for dozens of miles, and the Yellow River flooded more than 30 counties. Therefore, the Sanmenxia waterway is even more difficult to sail
Li Chongjiu said, "The waterway is not smooth. It seems that there is a way by land."
Zhang Xuansu said, "It was the eye attack on Luoyang that made the ban again. On whether Jianghuai merchant ships or land merchants helped France to enter the west, so although the grain in mid-summer was about to harvest, the grain price rose instead."
Li Chongjiu said, "In a good year, it’s still such a disaster. If Li Yuan survives it, I can force Li Yuan to run out of food even if I don’t attack Chang ‘an and block Luoyang for several years. Of course, unless Li Yuan moved the capital, he also lost the support of Longmen Valve and died faster. So can Li Tang respond now?"
Zhang Xuansu said, "According to our news from Li Tangtang Hall, Li Yuan has attached great importance to the food price fluctuation in Chang ‘an, and now he has planned ahead and will attack Xiao Xian this year."
Li Chongjiu smiled when he heard this. Now Li Tang and Zhao Guo are facing difficulties. Li Yuan is facing a crisis of insufficient rice in COFCO, while Li Chongjiu is silting up Yongji Canal, which makes it difficult for shipping in Luoyang and Beijing. However, Li Chongjiu has ordered Zhou Bochou to take the lead in this matter. It is expected that Yongji Canal will be dredged this year.
And Li Tang? Although it is a bumper harvest of grain and grass this year, there are many medium-sized disasters and minor disasters. It is impossible for Li Yuan to be so lucky every year. Last year, this year may make Li Yuan survive. If Li Yuan is hungry in the middle of the year, the opportunity for Zhao Guo will come.
Now it’s time for Li Chongjiu.
"Tang gaozu is a visionary," Li Chongjiu asked. "What should the Li Tang court discuss? I don’t believe they will do nothing. "
Zhang Xuansu said, "Li Tang has come up with two ways?"
"Two ways?" Yu Shinan laughed. "I really didn’t expect that if there was a way, Emperor Wu wouldn’t have moved the capital to Luoyang."
Yu Shinan a pair of otherwise Li Chongjiu way "let’s hear that uncertainty also has considerable place? I want to come to Zhongliangtian, which has been cultivated to the extreme. The solution to Li Tang’s eyes is to raise food from other places. "
Zhang Xuansu said, "It’s really unexpected. The first solution for Li Tang is to rebuild the grain and grass on the ramp. From the ramp, the water will be praised by land, and then the water will be transported by the ramp."
We should know that there are four praise ramps, Chencang Road, Luoluo Road and Wudao, which lead to the ancient road in Hanzhong. Although there are many narrow and dangerous sections, their three comparative distances are short and they are also the most important passages leading to Hanzhong.
Li Chongjiu laughed. "Did Tang gaozu want to transport food from Sichuan and Sichuan? I heard that Zhuge Liang’s seven trips to Qishan repeatedly withdrew because of the lack of food. If the oblique road can really transport food, Tang gaozu is really better than Zhuge Wuhou. "
Zhang Xuansu Yu Shinan smiled when he listened to Li Chongjiu’s teasing.
The fact is also so well known. For Chang ‘an, Sichuan and Sichuan are close, while Jianghuai is far away. It is of course the best if we can solve the problem of food shortage from Sichuan and Sichuan.
However, after all, the dream is not a reality. It takes too much effort to cross the Qinling Mountains to transport grain.
Zhang Xuansu said, "It was the Li Tang imperial court that negotiated to cut a road from Shangzhou to cross the Qinling Mountains, Sichuan and Sichuan. However, this policy seems to me to be just a drop in the bucket. Even if the grain is transported, few people can afford it except the princes."
"What about the second way?" Li Chongjiu asked
"The second way for Li Tang’s ruling and opposition parties to discuss is to open up wasteland in Hedong area to divert water from the Yellow River. If irrigation is successful, thousands of hectares of fertile land can receive hundreds of thousands of stones."
Li Chongjiu frowned at the words and said, "Is it feasible to cultivate farmland in Hedong?"
Yu Shinan’s previous step: "There is a precedent for this matter. In the Han Dynasty, the grain transportation was damaged due to the loss of the grain-limiting boat. Therefore, some ministers suggested crossing the canal to irrigate Pi’s and Fenyin, that is, today’s ministers of Fenyin and Pubandi said that they could save thousands of miles of water transportation labor from Weizhong after reclaiming farmland, but as a result, tens of thousands of people died in the canal field, but the grain was harvested."
"Diversion irrigation is not so easy. You can rest assured that Li Yuan will just make the same mistake if he wants to wasteland here."
Zhang Xuansu said, "However, Li Yuan really attaches great importance to Hedong grain to ensure high yield of grain and grass in Hedong. Recently, Li Yuan sent Yu Jun, the general manager of Shaanxi Province, to station troops in Lingzhou to prepare Turkic mowing valley. Li Yuan also ordered the Yellow River in Lingzhou to set up a navy division in Jiangnan to recruit boatmen to build ships and set up six cities’ water transport boxes."
