Chapter 596 About Food
When I left, I announced that the work method was mainly composed of Qiu Danmo, responsible for coordinating the overall situation and assisting the other three. Now, well, the work is pretty good, and there is no chaos. If there is no abnormality in each intelligence station, it will send a local briefing every other month to report on the current local livelihood, politics, climate and other aspects. Moreover, three more than 600 people have set out and infiltrated the East Women's Kingdom and various Qiang tribes one after another. Xiangxiong Kingdom is also our intelligence target. Moreover, among these three intelligence personnel, foreigners have begun to appear. Well, there are many people in the three intelligence personnel.
The dead soldiers of the Tang Dynasty with foreign faces were all descendants of the Persians and the Qin people who were in China during the Sui Dynasty. Although their appearance was still the same as those of Persians and Westerners, the blood flowing in their bodies had completely purified the souls of the barbarians. They were not only proficient in their original mother tongue, but also quite proficient in Chinese. More importantly, they have already regarded the open, civilized, and full of levels of Tang Dynasty as their targets of loyalty. Well, this is not my praising, but the fact. Otherwise, why should they pass the layers of tests and become a member of my Tang intelligence agency?
In the past few months, some of them have become business travelers, some have become veterinarians or human doctors. In this era, people have eaten the most in barbaric lands, that is, these three types of people are most respected and popular. The dangers of merchants are slightly higher. However, under the powerful force of the imperialism of the Tang Dynasty, the warning that the Gaochang Kingdom's destruction of the country has not been more than ten years, at least so far, no Western Regions has dared to rob the Tang Dynasty's business travelers because they understand that the revenge of the Tang Dynasty will be unforgettable to them.
And these people have been distributed to countries in the Western Regions, and even further away. According to the information sent back, the farthest intelligence personnel had traveled through the chaotic Central Asia region and arrived at Constantinople, the capital of Byzantine. When I first heard this news, my chin almost fell to the ground.
However, these intelligence personnel who kept passing messages to Chang'an from East Asia, Central Asia, West Asia and even Eastern Europe, relying on their skills to master, were all placed in their respective garrison sites. This added a precise channel for the Tang Dynasty's future understanding of the West.
----------------------------------------------------
It was precisely because the Tang Dynasty adopted a series of joint and horizontal measures, without any effort, that it had already made profits from it. It not only took two important border towns, Xihai City and Heyuan City from Tuyuhunli, and entered the elite Tang Dynasty. In the past six months, with the efforts of the old man, the left-behind ministers and Li Zhi, the border defenses of the two places not only increased significantly, but also used the cement and brick and stone technology of the Tang Dynasty to rebuilt Xihai City and Heyuan City. In addition, the prisoners of war obtained by Longyou's many wars began to build small cities, namely bunker-style buildings, in the surrounding areas of the two important towns, for the people to live, and facilitate the people in the border areas to resist foreign invasions. Secondly, after integration, it is more conducive to the Tang Dynasty's strengthening its rule over these remote areas.
The Dafeichuan, which originally belonged to Tuyuhun, has fallen into the hands of our Tang Dynasty. In this way, Tubo has completely bordered our Tang Dynasty. Moreover, over the past period of time, the smooth progress of Liaodong's military progress exceeded everyone's expectations, which made the Tang Dynasty turn its goals and attention to the Dianhe City and Qiemo City in the western part of the Tang Dynasty, Shazhou, Yangguan, and Qiemo River, and has formed a path to protect the Western Regions, and secretly it is actually a semicircular barrier against the Tubo Plateau.
In addition, Dianhe City and Qiemo City allowed the Tang Dynasty to gain direct connections with Yangtong, and increased bilateral trade, while also temporarily suppressing Tubo's ambitions. At least, during this period, Tubo's strategy for Yangtong's tribe had changed from an open fight to a secret fight.
One of the news from the west had to make people pay attention, that is: Dashi!
That's right, it's the Great Food. The Persian Sassanid dynasty Ishima is currently fighting against the Great Food entrenched in western Persia. However, it is said that it has gradually lost itself. The Persian Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire, namely the Byzantine Empire, both sent troops to conquer, but were defeated by them.
These news were also news from intelligence personnel who had returned from the Western Regions generation. Persia, this huge, once powerful empire, has now become weak and exhausted. Moreover, this news also made me feel extremely alert. Dashi was a shameless guy who completely controlled the Silk Road with Tubo in the middle and late Tang Dynasty.
"We must increase the intelligence work on the Longyou Road of the Great Tang Dynasty and the westward places. In addition, let those personnel help the Persians when necessary. However, all this can only be planned secretly by our Jinzuoyuan. We must create a stable and united surrounding environment for the Tang Dynasty and conducive to the development of the Tang Dynasty. All destructive signs must be extinguished in the bud as soon as possible. Do you understand?" I looked at the main affairs of the Jinzuoyuan at all levels present.
All the personnel nodded in agreement. I took a sip of water, stood up, buried my head in thinking, and said, "Now, Liaodong is owned by my Tang Dynasty. Now, our intelligence focus has shifted from Liaodong to the west of the Tang Dynasty. However, the intelligence work of the Japanese, Baekje, Silla, and the Marine people is absolutely not right. I don't want your Majesty to lose his efforts."
"The Lord understands." Everyone stood up and saluted me respectfully.
"Okay, you all go down and do your own things. Li Xiaode, stay, I have something to say to you." After dispersing the others, Li Xiaode stayed.
I took two steps and signaled Li Xiaode to sit down: "Listen to Laoyan Qiu, is your hometown Guangzhou?"
Li Xiaode was stunned at first, and then replied: "That's right, Xiaguan's hometown is Guangzhou. Now his father, brother and sister are in Guangzhou."
"Oh!" I nodded and smiled at Li Xiaode: "Tell me how the situation is there? No need to be restrained, let's just talk. Fang hasn't been to Jiangnan except for the north of the Tang Dynasty, so I want to learn more about the situation. At that time, I can arrange my future work."
----------------------------------------------------
Since I came back from Liaodong, I have always had a plan. First, it is about the permanent occupation and development rights of the Tang Dynasty. These two points are extremely important. Another point is the Maritime Silk Road. Now the rise of the Great Food Kingdom, the land Silk Road will be affected to a certain extent for the Tang Dynasty. However, this will not stop the Tang Dynasty's conquest. I will find a way to continue to instigate the Tang Dynasty to advance to Central Asia. However, for maritime transportation, it is also the top priority. The development of the Maritime Silk Road is a major event that has been a thousand years for the Tang Dynasty. Another point is food!
That's right, it's food. Food has a very important position for the stability of a national regime. Moreover, I was a southerner in the later generations and grew up on the barren Guizhou Plateau. There was no sunny day in the sky and no three feet flat in the earth. This is the impression of Guizhou in everyone's eyes. For Guizhou, grain production and development are equally important.
This is also very suitable for the bitter and cold places in Liaodong. Today, North and South America are thousands of miles away from our Tang Dynasty. High drought-resistant crops such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn cannot be introduced for at least ten to twenty years. Although the sea navigation industry of the Tang Dynasty has made great progress and development compared with the Han, Southern and Northern Dynasties and Sui Dynasty, the ocean technology has not yet matured, which makes me very upset.
Therefore, I could only turn my attention to the southern waters of the Tang Dynasty. Here, there was at least one good thing I knew, that is, the so-called Chameng rice. What I knew was that Chameng rice was introduced from South Asia only in the Song Dynasty in China. However, when I came, the arrival of great time travelers would always bring progress and prosperity to the life, politics, economy and other aspects of the Chinese nation. I was very proud of this.
At least, I know that in the southern part of China, the current country of Jiuguo, Zhenla, Linyi and other places will be the hometown of Chameng rice in the future. At this time, it is time for me, a great pioneer of time travel, to make another contribution to the people of the Tang Dynasty. More importantly, Chameng rice has extremely strong drought and flood resistance, and has grown indiscriminately. It has a very short growth period. It only takes more than fifty days from planting to harvesting. It is the best rice seeds in ancient times that I know and is most suitable for the current feudal imperialist farming society.
