The Tang Dynasty was Chang'an... 108 square meters, including 780,000 households. Chang'an is the capital of the Tang Dynasty. It has about 100,000 imperial guards in the north and about 100,000. Chang'an also has royal relatives, eunuchs, palace maids, monks and nuns, ethnic minorities, students who entered the imperial examination in Beijing, staff from various places and envoys from various countries. These people have a total population of 100,000 to 200,000. Together, the total population exceeds 1 million.

If the food roads of the Tang Dynasty were cut off, then the food and drink of these millions of people would become a very troublesome thing.

You should know that if a hundred people only eat one pound of rice a day, it will be one million pounds. If the food channel is cut off, it will be a huge trouble.

So when Li You said this assumption, all the ministers present were slightly stunned. Ma Zhou's expression became a little shocked and bowed quickly: "Your Majesty, what His Highness, the King of Qi said is impossible.

No one might say something like disaster. If there really is one day, we must prepare early...!"

"Indeed...!" Changsun Wuji also wiped the sweat from his head slightly and said, "Your Majesty, prepare for the future..."

"I am guilty..." Fang Xuanling bowed and apologized.

"This is not the time to apologize...!" Li Shimin waved his hand, then looked at Li You and said, "You'er, you can propose it. You must have thought of a solution. You can tell me your solution first..."

Li Shimin is still very smart. He knew that since Li You raised the problem, there must be a solution to the problem. Otherwise, Li You would not have raised it. As expected, it was the same as Li Shimin said.

Li You nodded and looked at Li Shimin and said, "Father...it's very simple, that's more than one grain road. In fact, Chang'an's grain road can have two, one land road and one water road...so even if there are problems with land road, we still have water roads..."

After Li You finished speaking, all the ministers immediately realized it. In fact, it was very easy to make two-handed preparations, but the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty was abnormal at this time.

No one expected anyone to siege Chang'an and cut off the Chang'an food route, but Li You changed his mind to these people. What should we do if it was not the enemy, but the natural disaster?

At this moment, all the ministers, including Li Shimin, were a little panicked because Li You were right. Natural disasters are a kind of force majeure. God will not give you natural disasters if you look at your strong national strength. Although there are few opportunities, Chang'an is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, which is the top priority. There must be no other surprises.

This is also the reason why Fang Xuanling apologized immediately.

"So you started building a ship..." Li Shimin looked at Li You with agreement.

"Yes...!" Li You looked at Li Shimin and replied, "I was actually just thinking about opening up the grain road from Chang'an to Jiangnan. However, unfortunately, it has not been successful yet. I only own two large ships, and I bought them from others, and spent a lot of money.

I followed me to change a five-toothed ship and wanted to protect the other two ships...!"

Li You told you about his thoughts and everything he has now, without any hidden personal information. Li Shimin and his ministers felt impeccable after hearing this. Because Dunhuafang was short of food, Li You thought of opening another grain road, which not only could solve the grain problem for Dunhuafang.

Even if the natural disaster comes, it is indeed a good idea to solve the food problem in Chang'an. Some people will definitely say, why do you need to use a five-tooth warship to open a grain channel? That is a warship. Can Li Shimin tolerate this?

In fact, during the Tang Dynasty, pirates and water bandits were still rampant, because the Tang Dynasty's army was mainly based on land, which made pirates and water bandits very rampant. Therefore, when transporting food, you must bring some combat power. Otherwise, you will be the snacks you sent to the pirates and water bills.

This is also the main reason why Li Shimin did not pursue the investigation.

"This is a method... Xuanling... We also need to open the waterway and grain channel, and as soon as possible..." Li Shimin hurriedly ordered Fang Xuanling, and Fang Xuanling also bowed quickly at this time.

Finally... Li Shimin smiled: "You'er, you stopped another big loophole for us Datang..."

"Father, since the court wants to open up waterways and food channels, my ship is meaningless, so I am going to offer my ship to my father..." Li You took a move to retreat as an advance, and directly offered his ship to express his sincerity.

Li You predicted that Li Shimin would not be able to take his own things, and Li Shimin was not so stingy and would be so guarded against Li You.

Sure enough, Li Shimin laughed: "Although your Dunhua House is small, there are tens of thousands of people. It is also good to open a waterway and food route yourself. You can keep the boats yourself, and you can continue to build them. You can also build some warships... You'er, don't think too much, your father believes in you...!"

After receiving the affirmation of Li Shimin, Li You felt relieved. The main reason why Li Shimin allowed Li You to build ships was that he was not very interested in shipbuilding. He believed that his iron hooves were the most important war resource, and shipbuilding was really not.

"Thank you, Father!" Li You hurriedly thanked.

"Pick up the wolf riding flag and let me see..." Finally, Li Shimin was about to take the wolf riding flag. Then, Li You quickly presented the wolf riding flag. Looking at the wolf riding flag in his hand, Li Shimin on the side felt a little moved.

"As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Wei Wushu of Wei State once was fierce and powerful. However, after Shang Yang's reforms, Qin State began to implement a new military system and formed a new army of 200,000 people. Their soldiers were called Ruishi from then on, and the most elite soldiers were led by Sima Cuo and called "Iron Eagle Ruishi". They not only had extraordinary sword skills, but also had to be proficient in horse fighting and infantry fighting. Among the 200,000 new troops, only 1,600 were qualified to be selected as "Iron Eagle Ruishi".

As the heroes were in dispute in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, all the ambitious heroes began to form their own special forces.

Cao Cao formed the "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry", Liu Bei had the "White Soldiers", and Sun Quan had the "Trouble Soldiers", but when it comes to the strongest special forces during the Three Kingdoms period, it is the "Stealing Camp" under Lu Bu.

The trapped camp was commanded by Gao Shun, the general of the Central Army under Lu Bu, with only 700 infantrymen, but he killed thousands of troops led by Liu Guan and Zhang and fled in a panic. Lu Bu was able to defeat Liu Bei many times, and Gao Shun and his trapped camp made great contributions.

Unfortunately, Lu Bu is not a handsome man. Although he knows Gao Shun Zhongyong, he doesn't know how to use it. In the end, Lu Bu was defeated and the trapped camp disappeared into the long river of history.

When they arrived in the Sui Dynasty...the Hun wolf cavalry was famous...they wolves wore long swords on their waists, face masks, and iron armor. They only had their eyes exposed under the masks, a long cloak, and had Hu people's horse boots, and were equipped with short blades in the horse boots.

Everyone carried a big bow, each carrying thirteen arrows, and they were equipped with all wolf-headed swords.

Why is it called a wolf cavalry? Because as long as these people bite their opponents, they will definitely bite the opponent to death. They will never withdraw their troops unless they bite them to death. My Xuanjia Army once fought with the wolf cavalry, but unfortunately, the two sides fought evenly.

Later, I had no chance to face this wolf rider, and finally I was broken into pieces and ran away. Unexpectedly, the wolf rider finally fell into the hands of my son...!"

After saying that, Li Shimin showed a proud smile: "You'er, your Hu Ben Army is really good, and its combat power is enviable..."

"Actually, these have nothing to do with me..." Li You said embarrassedly: "The main ones training the Hu Ben Army are Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang... I just sometimes make suggestions, that's all...!"

"Oh... Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang!" Li Shimin remembered the names of the two for the first time, and then looked at his confidants around him.

Changsun Wuji said slightly: "I know this Su Dingfang, the general who broke through Jie Li Khan's tent...!"

"Hiss..." Li Shimin was surprised: "Why didn't the person who broke through Jie Li Khan's tent?" Li Shimin did not say anything later, but looked at Li You who was a little embarrassed.

Li Shimin meant that why he was useless? Instead, he was cheaper. Fang Xuanling, who was on the other hand, whispered: "Li Jing doesn't like it..."

This sentence is heartbroken, but it is also true that Su Dingfang has been suppressed, and it is indeed because Li Jing is not happy. Otherwise, Su Dingfang would not have fallen into Li You's hands.

"Hmph..." He snorted slightly, his voice was not loud, but his momentum was very strong. To be honest, Li Shimin was still very cautious.

"You'er, when will I let me meet your two generals..."

"Class..." Li You showed a bitter expression: "Father, if you meet General Xue and General Su, I see that the two generals have no intention to follow me. They all want to serve for the father. As long as the father is willing, they can take the two generals away to serve the Tang Dynasty at any time."

"Haha..." Li Shimin laughed loudly, looking at the happy Li Shimin, Li You felt a little convinced. In fact, this was what Li You said on purpose, in order to make Li Shimin ignore the combat power of the Hu Ben Army, it can also be regarded as telling Li Shimin that as long as Li Shimin wants to take it away, he can take the Hu Ben Army in Dunhuafang at any time.

There is no need to be wary of the Tiger Army.

"Is that right... Then I have time to evaluate him one day. If he is really a talented person, I won't be polite...!" Li Shimin laughed.

This is because the battle of Goguryeo is approaching, and Li Shimin needs talents, especially those who are loyal to him. Li Shimin urgently needs such talents. Not only does he need them, but he also needs to leave some for the later emperors. Otherwise, he, Li Shimin, will be able to live in those old guys, but if Li Shimin leaves, can the one behind still be able to survive?

Especially Li Jing, Li Shimin had to leave some generals and talents, and they were loyal to him. This was very important to Li Shimin. It was also because of this that Xue Rengui and Su Ding aroused Li Shimin's interest.

"By the way... your Hu Ben Army should not stay outside... You are really too careful. I have only a thousand people. I haven't taken him seriously yet... Well... I'm passing on my order, and all the Hu Ben Army soldiers will give me 10,000 gold... I've said thank you for your hard work for me."

"Thank you, Father..." Li You bowed to the end.
