Li Shimin nodded, and then asked: "Then why don't you just give them potatoes, isn't it easier?"
"West Turks can give it, but other foreign countries can't."
Lin Xuan shook his head.
Now the Western Turkic and Turkic Khan have sued for peace, and they have been firmly controlled by Lin Xuan.
Therefore, they can't make waves.
Even if they are given a little food, there is no threat to Datang.
But other foreign countries are different.
Because there are several foreign countries close to the Western Regions, such as Goguryeo, if the potatoes are passed on, what should we do?
Li Shimin suddenly realized, and said in surprise: "So, just give them vermicelli?!"
"Potatoes cannot be grown from vermicelli!"
"That's right!" Lin Xuan nodded.
"Mr. Lin is really thoughtful!"
Li Shimin immediately opened his mouth to praise.
Lin Xuan can think of so much, which really surprised him.
To vigorously produce sweet potato vermicelli, it is necessary to build a factory.
And this is also the prelude to the opening of the industrial age!
Lin Xuan wants everyone to know that there is no need to plant so many lands now.
Because there is no way to finish it!
Plant twenty or thirty acres, almost.
And it has to be planted in a cross rotation, not just potatoes and sweet potatoes.
With manpower, industry can be developed.
Let’s talk about sweet potato flour.
Not only can it deal with aliens on the border of Datang in this way.
Countries in the Western Regions can also do it!
Like foreign trade with Hu merchants, you can do the same.
It is somewhat similar to the import and exchange of colored glaze and glass.
Secondly, the people can also make their own food.
If you can't do it, then buy it.
For example, the current price of potatoes is [-] yuan per bucket.
Vermicelli must be more expensive.
It costs money to collect it, and labor is required to make vermicelli.
It costs six dollars for a fight!
Bucket is actually a unit of volume.
The most important thing is Tang Min's habit.
Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji became more and more excited as they talked with Lin Xuan.
With these methods, there is no need to worry about food waste such as potatoes, sweet potatoes and corns!
It's very simple, buy it at a low price.
Then sell it at a higher price.
No matter how you think about it, it is a profitable business!
The point is, vermicelli can also be used to bring down the economic systems of those foreigners!
Use cheap vermicelli and grain to buy a lot of beef and mutton.
With less meat, their physique will naturally deteriorate.
And these meats can be exchanged for common people and soldiers to eat and improve their physique!
One ebbs and another, won't it be easier to deal with those foreign races?
Lin Xuan left after chatting, and Li Shimin didn't recover for a long time.
Savoring Lin Xuan's words carefully, his face was full of shock.
"I will implement it immediately!"
"Immediately fly the pigeon to pass the letter, and immediately execute the order!"
Li Shimin slammed the table and stood up.
Changsun Wuji nodded in agreement, bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Li Shimin then hurried back to the guest room, wrote the secret letter, and immediately sent it back to Chang'an City by Fei Ge to call Gao Shilian, and Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui went to execute it!
-
the next morning.
Li Shimin said that he has nothing to do when he is free.
Lin Xuan gave Li Shimin a Rubik's Cube to play with, which was of the twelfth order.
Lin Xuan briefly told Li Shimin about the rules and methods of playing Rubik's Cube, and then went to work on his own.
Li Shimin has been playing for almost a morning.
At first, he was still in the mood to chat with Changsun Wuji.
Going to the back, Li Shimin was completely immersed in the Rubik's Cube!
Concentrating on it, muttering to himself, chanting the Rubik's Cube formula silently.
