Although only one season can be planted a year, and the management of those local barbarians is too extensive, unlike the intensive cultivation like Jiangnan.

The yield of rice is lower than that of Jiangnan, but the problem is that the rice cooked from this kind of rice is as white as snow and has a strong rice fragrance.

This must be the ancestor of the Northeast rice in later generations, and now, Cheng Sanlang has also made it out.

It is planned to carry out large-scale planting in this area of ​​Liaodong City, and strive to make this area of ​​Liaodong City a new land of fishing and rice in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin was already sitting in front of the table at this moment, while Cheng Sanlang, who was talking a lot, was still in front of him, his eyes shining brightly, talking about his plan to revitalize the Northeast, ah no, it is a long-term plan for the development of Liaodong and its surrounding areas.

Li Shimin stared blankly at Cheng Sanlang, organized and well-founded, and most importantly, it seemed that Cheng Sanlang already had a perfect big plan in his heart.

It's only been so long, in just a few days, this kid has already thought so far, and even made a plan for what the hundred thousand prisoners of war will do next.

To put it simply, you gang of Goguryeo prisoners of war want to be fed and clothed, and to eat well.

It's very simple, to develop the Liaodong region for the Tang Dynasty, first spread your youth and sweat, strive for three to five years, and build this place into the granary of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin didn't let out a sigh of relief until he walked out of Cheng Sanlang's house and stood outside the mansion gate.

He patted Cheng Sanlang, who was still full of thoughts, and after thinking for a while, he showed a kind and encouraging smile.

"My son-in-law, you just have to do it with confidence and boldness. Even if the cake you made for this old man is a bit like a castle in the air, this old man appreciates your drive."

"Do it well, if there is anything missing, just tell the old man."

Seeing the high-spirited father-in-law speak like this, Cheng Sanlang immediately cheered up, and agreed without hesitation.

Seeing that the father-in-law was about to leave, Cheng Sanlang suddenly thought of another important event.

"Wait a minute, my father-in-law, my son-in-law still has an important matter to discuss with my father-in-law?"

"Oh? I don't know what it is? You just talk about it."

"My father-in-law, my son-in-law heard that my father-in-law intends to transfer a large amount of grain and grass to Liaodong, and intends to pacify Goguryeo in one fell swoop."

"My son-in-law asked Mr. Ma specifically, and he knew that it would take a lot of money to transport the grain and grass to Liaodong, and it also required a lot of manpower and material resources."

Li Shimin looked at Cheng Sanlang, and soon realized it.

"Why, does my son-in-law have other ways to solve this problem?"

"If the father-in-law is willing to buy according to the market price, the Hantang Commercial Bank can deliver 100,000 shi of grain to Liaodong City within ten days. If it is given to the Han and Tang Commercial Bank for a month, it will be no problem with three to five million shi."

"..." Li Shimin stared blankly at Cheng Sanlang until he saw a shy smile on the face of his son-in-law.

"My father-in-law, after all, that son-in-law is representing the firm and always does business with you."

"It's a big deal for me to do business, you boy." Li Shimin's eyelids twitched wildly, and he took a breath with toothache.

But think about it, if the imperial court transported grain and grass from Luoyang, and wanted to send one stone, the cost would be almost two stones.

This kid was able to send grain to Liaodong at the market price. Li Shimin couldn't help turning his head and walking towards the courtyard.

"Come on, come on, tell me what's going on with the old man."

Faced with the old man's inquiry, Cheng Sanlang naturally would not hide it, so he said that now the Han and Tang Dynasties are in Jiaozhi and began to promote the planting of Champa rice on a large scale.

It's just that these rice are all exported, and not a grain of grain flows into Datang, in order to maintain the stability of food prices and social stability in Datang.

In addition, when Koguryo was engaged in the past, it was also using grain dumping to sell high and sell low. After such repetitions, the price of grain in Koguryo fell sharply. In the past two years, the grain production of Goguryeo has been greatly reduced...

Looking at the virtuous son-in-law in front of him who was carefully talking about how he used business means to play around in the world.

Li Shimin thought of the previous story about that after the destruction of Silla, almost all the food in the land of Silla was looted by Goguryeo.

It seems that the reason why Goguryeo was so ruthless, and when it was still facing the Tang Dynasty, it insisted on going to Silla, is probably related to the shortage of food and grass.

However, Cheng Sanlang later came up with a trick to exchange food for prisoners of war, and exchanged those unlucky Silla people with food.

Li Shimin couldn't help wiping his face, and raised his fingers angrily and amusedly.

"If Silla knows that you are one of the chief culprits who let them destroy the country, I really don't know what they will think."

"...My father-in-law, this has nothing to do with my son-in-law. After all, my son-in-law only does business with Goguryeo. I can't blame Silla for their own inability to stop Goguryeo."

Cheng Chubi argued softly.

#####

"Okay, since you want to do business with the old man, son-in-law, the old man agrees. If the one hundred thousand shi grains can arrive within ten days, it will really relieve the old man's worries."

After all, there are 100,000 more prisoners of war here, that's 100,000 mouths, plus the tens of thousands of people in Liaodong City, after one day, the food consumption has increased by nearly 100,000 catties.

Li Shimin really never thought about keeping these 100,000 prisoners of war before, but now that he has regarded Goguryeo as his territory.

Maybe there will be more prisoners of war in the future, so a large amount of food and supplies is essential, but in that case, the consumption will be a very terrible figure.

If it can be purchased from Han and Tang commercial banks at the market price, it will be a great thing for the court to benefit and not cost.

In this way, it can also greatly weaken the imperial court's strategy of opposing the evolution of the conquest of Goguryeo from a short-term campaign to a long-term operation.

As for how to explain to those ministers, is it not easy? His own father, Li Yuan, is the largest shareholder of Hantang Commercial Bank.

My own business company delivers food to the imperial court, and it also pays according to the market price. It is such a good thing that it is cheap and cheap, so why do you need a bicycle?

But Cheng Sanlang is really out of his mind. He knows that once the price of food in Datang fluctuates, it will easily hurt the people.

As a result ~lightnovelpub.net~ grain was dumped abroad, although Li Shimin was a little worried that this kid would not harm the surrounding countries, but think carefully.

Since he has been in the grain business for several years, and no envoy from any country has complained to the court, it should be a serious business relationship.

As long as it is not an act of bullying the market, it is naturally acceptable.

This time, the old man finally left, and Cheng Sanlang was quite pleased.

In any case, the grain business relies on small profits but quick turnover, and large volumes to control the fullness, even if the grain business of Han and Tang Commercial Banks does not involve the country.

But doing business with the military is equivalent to saving money and food for the court, so naturally there will be no problem.

When Datang's military begins to expand overseas in the future, Hantang Commercial Bank will naturally become a dedicated supplier.

Although it seems a little far away now, Cheng Sanlang believes that with the first order, there will be countless orders.
