The scenery in Luoyang has not changed, people have changed.

Zhu Quanzhong's sister, Zhu, passed away.

The Tianxiong Army's right wing envoy Jie Bin suddenly fell ill and passed away a few months ago.

Shao Desheng, deputy envoy of the Southern Ya Privy Council, passed away after several months of illness.

As for Shao Shude's original team of female court officials, a few people were quietly replaced within a few years.

The overall age is here, and there will be more in the future.

After the grand court meeting on the first day of June, he came to the Anguo Female Taoist Temple.

"You are old too..." Shao Shude subconsciously wanted to smooth out the wrinkles on Tuoba Pu's face, but finally lowered his hand and did nothing.

How can birth, old age, sickness and death be healed?

"Your Majesty, I'll go and cook a pot of water." Tuoba Pu turned his face and whispered.

Shao Shude grabbed her and said, "Just let the girl crown do some small things, why do you have to experience it yourself?"

Tuoba Pu sighed lightly, sat opposite Shao Shude, and couldn't find anything to say for a moment.

"Yi Chang has arrived at the He Chuang Army and served as the Left-Celebration Army." Shao Shude said: "He has good martial arts and is well-versed in military strategies. I also think he is very suitable for this position."

This position was originally served by the surrendered general of Liang Jun, Hua Wenqi. But he was not young, so he withdrew from the imperial guards a few years ago and replaced Shao Lun, the commander of the Hedong Road where he had a stroke, and took charge of the Hedong Prefecture Army.

Tuoba Yichang was originally a small school in the guards' personal army, and fought wars, served as Shangyang Palace, and later served as the commander of the Yizhou Prefecture Army. Because of his contribution to suppressing the Yizhou rebellion and some other reasons, Yu Si

He served as the Young Superintendent of Hongyuan Palace a few years ago and personally led two thousand soldiers, mainly Dangxiang, Liugu Tubo, and Liangzhou, as the main body, and participated in a series of battles.

Until the second year of Tongguang, Tuoba Yichang was still in Kucha and led his troops to farm in Gumo. At the end of last year, he was called back and transferred to the imperial guards and served as the first-wing military envoy.

How to say it, the young prison in Hongyuan Palace is the emperor's personal slave, and the imperial guards are another system, which cannot be compared directly. Shao Shude personally asked Tuoba Yichang's opinion, but he was willing to enter the imperial guards in order to gain a better future.

This matter is decided.

In the second half of the year, Longxiong, Control Crane, Tiande, and Gongli, and Wuguo, will draw 20,000 infantry and cavalry; Flying Dragon, Golden Knife, and Black Crafts will draw 6,000 people; plus Flying Bear Army 1,200

The cavalry, with a total of more than 30,000 people, will be trained in a concentrated manner. After next year's Lantern Festival, a large-scale rotation will be held.

Tuoba Yichang will also follow the battle, which is an opportunity he has been waiting for for a long time.

"Have you finished fighting in Persia?" Tuoba Pu asked softly.

"Their second mission has arrived in Yanqi. If they go fast, they will arrive in Luoyang within a few months." Shao Shude said.

"Your Majesty, don't be too busy." Tuoba Pu said: "There are all over the world in Daxia. If such a big place was thirty or forty years ago, I would never dare to think about it. There is no need to force it too much."

Shao Shude smiled and said, "The most difficult thing is to unify the world. If this hurdle is passed, everything will be easy to do. Attacking the Khitan, destroying Changhe, and conquering the Western Regions, the difficulty of summing up is not as good as sweeping the northern towns.

One tenth, I just did it."

In his impression, the Khitan was not difficult to deal with, at least it took much less effort than the attack on the towns in Hebei.

At least, Abaoji really couldn't come up with tens of thousands of martial artists who were well-versed in the military and well-equipped equipment.

The real advantage of the Khitans is to give full play to their maneuver advantages, raids, ambush, and guerrilla warfare. If they are head-on, they will be cut off by Wei Bo’s martial arts, although the combat effectiveness of the Wei soldiers will be greatly reduced after they leave the town.

The Khitans were bad, and they started to build cities and cultivate land. With jars and jars, they were reluctant to leave. When they were attacked, they could not use guerrilla tactics, just like Liu Yu directly attacked Guanggu, and the cavalry in the South Yan were forced to give up their mobility.

His sexual advantage was so decisive battle with the Jin army head-on, he was defeated miserably.

As for Bohai, Changhe is not worth mentioning at all and does not leave much deep impression on Shao Shude.

Tuoba Pu nodded silently when he heard this.

She knew that the saints didn't listen. Men always care about conquest and power, but as a woman, she only cares about this man who has left a deep mark in her life, and can live longer and more comfortable, that's it.

"Let's talk about Yichang again." After Shao Shude talked a lot, he only heard him say: "I heard that the Ugus tribes repeatedly went south to rob, and Tocharostein was a little unstable. The Persians must be anxious.

Seeking peace. The battles in the west can't be fought for long. If Yichang can seize the opportunity, I will promote him to the ranks of the imperial guards. It will not be very difficult."

Tuoba Pu's interest was slightly aroused.

She had no children in her life, and she always regarded her nephew Yichang as her own child, and had always paid attention to his growth.

"Will Persia really ask for peace?" she asked.

"We must first settle the internal situation when fighting against foreign countries. After fighting in recent years, Persia has not only failed to suppress internal problems, but has become more and more serious. I heard that the king was also a little dissatisfied with the prime minister and believed that those defeats were caused by him." Shao Shude smiled and said:

"They brought a lot of gifts this time, and even dozens of big-food horses. It seems that they have figured out my temperament and want to end the war quickly and concentrate on it."

"Will Your Majesty make them happy?" Tuoba Pu asked.

"That depends on what conditions the Persians gave." Shao Shude said.

Tuoba Pu wanted to speak but stopped.

She was still worried about her nephew, worried that after he went into battle, he would encounter any fierce enemy, be injured or even die in battle.

In these days, even generals in the army have to go to the front line. Maybe you don’t need to fight yourself, but it is a basic requirement to get closer to the front line to respond quickly.

In short, courage is emphasized in combat, rather than wisdom is pursued.

She didn't know whether this trend was good or bad, but she knew that if Yichang's nephew wanted to climb up, it would be impossible not to add any scars on his body.

Man, haha, aren’t you tired?

"What's the shortage here?" Shao Shude noticed Tuoba Pu's absent-mindedness and changed the subject.

"Your Majesty is leaving?" Tuoba Pu asked.

Shao Shude really planned to leave, but after hearing this, he didn't move and said, "No, I'll have a meal here tonight."

Tuoba Pu became happy and immediately called two female crowns, told them to prepare ingredients, and brought tea with them.

Yinan direct commander Zhong Yanyou showed his eyes that several military men followed the female crowns and kept pace with them.

"When Your Majesty was expeditioning the West, the people from the Interior Affairs Office came over, built an ice cellar, and sent a lot of sea fish and venison." Tuoba Pu's expression suddenly became much more agile. She poured Shao Shude a bowl of Mengding tea.

After sitting down, I said again: "I haven't eaten venison for many years, which reminds me of the time I was hunting deer on the grassland when I was a child. More than thirty years have passed, and many people in my memory have blurred their appearance.

. ""

"Just like it." Shao Shude smiled and said, "Let me ask someone to send some kelp over here."

Perhaps the sharpness of pepper is too strong and has attracted too many people's attention, but dry goods such as kelp and goose peach are increasingly becoming an important source of income for the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

In later generations, kelp was introduced to China very late. In this time and space, Shao Shude sent people to the Whale Sea for his desire, and then successfully introduced them to the Liao Sea.

However, during artificial breeding, I encountered great difficulties. Whether it is wood or bamboo, it is always easy to be corroded by sea water and it will not last long.

Later, the Ministry of Internal Affairs thought of some solutions, first dealing with bamboo on the shore, then putting it into the sea, and breeding kelp. How to say, it has improved a lot of durability, but it is still not good.

Most of the kelp brought by the Ministry of Internal Affairs currently grows naturally in shallow waters offshore - they can only grow in this area, because kelp is a sub-cold algae plant and only adapts to cold water areas. It has not been cultivated yet.

Kelp growing in the water.

Shao Shude has been using kelp as a welfare for officials for many years and regularly distributed it.

Now we have harvested more kelp, goose and pear dishes, and the amount flowing into the market has increased year by year, and the price is quite high. Who makes the saints love to eat it?

"Enough things." Tuoba Pu shook his head, then smiled and said, "Everyone outside said that the most valuable place that the saints have built over the years is Liaodong. There are too many whales, sea fish, sea beasts, skins, kelp, and there are too many whales, sea fish, and kelp.

Many people cannot live without these things.”

"The people you are talking about are probably rich people, right?" Shao Shude smiled.

After saying that, he was also a little proud.

Changing a nation's living habits—at least partially—is no easier than sweeping the world or getting involved in a world. In other words, it is the second phase of the achievement brought about after sweeping the world.

Using kelp to cook can enhance fresh flavor, which has been well known to many officials and families.

Fur can protect against cold, and people who wear it say it is comfortable.

The price of sea fish is so low that he is almost unaware of it.

If there were refrigerated ships, the price could be lower. In the middle of the 19th century, after Britain colonized Australia and New Zealand, the sheep farming industry developed greatly. After people cut the wool, they were helpless against the sheep that no longer had value.

Destroy or boil oil, and get very little - yes, there is too much meat and I can't finish it, so I can only throw it away. This is the same as the early Argentines killed the bison, only taking cowhide, tallow, and discarding the beef.

reason.

Shao Shude also knew that it was a delusion to invent a refrigerated boat in this time and space. He was actually just lamenting the abundant resources of the virgin land - of course, Liaodong will sooner or later become mature land, and the resources will not be as abundant and cheap as it is now, but they are all descendants.

He can't care so far.

"Whether the rich or the poor, they have been changed by His Majesty." Tuoba Pu smiled and said, "In fact, His Majesty has done enough to let go. The people have recognized the Supreme Emperor of Jianwen and Shenwu from the bottom of their hearts.

This title can even benefit future generations. Why do you have to fight like this? This world is like an iron bucket..."

"Okay, I have my own sense of responsibility." Shao Shude waved his hand and said, "After cooking, there is really nothing to do. The next money and food in the country will be mainly used for immigration. For nothing, it's useless to tell you so much.

I will take care of myself more from Chang. You——and take good care of yourself.”

Tuoba Pu's sigh was as light as if it came from Jiuyou.

Do you regret it in this life? She couldn't figure it out very clearly, it seemed a little, but it seemed not.

Yichang's children have grown up and often come to visit her. Whenever she sees this calf-like boy, she will recall the carefree days of her youth in the grasslands of Youzhou.

Time goes back forty years. If my father betrothed himself to the saint, maybe everything will be different, right?
