When the master of the imperial kitchen went to Xiaoluo to learn how to cook, he learned several ways to cook potatoes.

They were also very satisfied with the taste of potatoes, but after returning to the palace, they couldn't cook without rice, so there was no potato for them to operate.

Today, such an opportunity finally came.

Fried shredded potatoes, roasted potatoes, mashed potatoes, etc. naturally need to be arranged.

There are also shredded potato burritoes, baked potatoes and spicy potato slices that cannot be missed.

So when these dishes containing potatoes were served, civil and military officials discovered that they had just doubted whether the lumps dug out of the soil could be eaten or not, and they were simply thinking too much.

However, there is a potato boiled in front of everyone. After all, many people cannot have so many seasonings and skills to make various potatoes. They probably can eat the most frequently.

But even this potato boiled in white water made many ministers' eyes red.

Especially Niu Jinda, while gnawing potatoes, he wiped his snot and tears with his sleeves.

"Well... why can't this thing be...can't you come to the Tang Dynasty a few years ago?"

Cheng Zhijie sat beside him and patted his shoulder for comfort.

Both of them joined the Uprising Army in Wagang, and wars broke out frequently in the world at that time.

Although Niu Jinda's great-grandfather was still the Shangzhu Kingdom of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, his family had been ruined when he arrived at his father.

Later, his old mother almost starved to death, so she was so excited to see this acre of grain yielding thousands of kilograms.

Although not too many potatoes were produced this time, as long as this batch of potatoes can be used for breeding, the Datang grain output next year will definitely usher in an explosive growth.

Soon, the farms surrounding Chang'an that planted potatoes were surrounded by soldiers, and all of them would be taken back for breeding.

Officials in various places have also begun disaster relief.

The main thing is to use labor for relief. The government will open a porridge shed, but only the elderly and children can get enough food in the porridge shed, and they must be eaten on site.

Adults need to exchange enough food for all tasks assigned by the government, such as clearing rivers and repairing roads.

Of course, the powder dried by the locusts you catch can also be exchanged for some food.

In addition, half of the chickens and ducks distributed by the government in the early stage were collected from the government for disaster relief, and half of them were left to the people for their own treatment.

Under various disaster relief measures, although the reduction in production in the fields has become a foregone conclusion, the impact on the lives of the people of the Tang Dynasty is not too great. At least I can still have a full meal this year.

After all, the Tang Dynasty has almost exhausted its family’s assets to deal with this locust plague, which can be said to be the most difficult year in the Tang Dynasty.

If Tang Ping hadn't discovered that the locust plague would have come in advance and planned a series of response measures with Fang Du and others, the locust plague would definitely not be so easy to deal with.

If you look at the locust plague in the early years of Zhenguan in history, you will know that the Tang Dynasty in history is much richer than the Tang Dynasty today, and it is still suffocated. Even Li Shimin had to eat locusts as an example to show his determination to resist the locust plague.

"This time, Tang Ping has made great contributions!" In the Xiande Hall in the evening, Li Shimin sighed in great relief after reading the disaster reports sent from various places.

There have been countless large-scale locust plagues in history. There have been few dozens of records that can be seen in historical books. However, no matter what happened, the people were displaced from thousands of miles away from the ground.

And this time, although the Tang Dynasty invested a huge amount in the early stage, as long as the year passed, with potatoes in the Tang Dynasty, the food would naturally no longer be a constraint.

Moreover, the last time Fang Du came back, he also agreed to develop industry and commerce. Now workshops are being built in the south of Chang'an.

So after surviving this year, he believed that the Tang Dynasty would definitely be different next year.

He took the globe beside the table and turned it gently, and then used the brush on his hand to circle the Turkic position.

In the surrounding countries, the Turkic people were in civil turmoil. Now the three Turkic princes fought hard after the death of Kiri Khan, which was the best time to attack.

Now Li Shimin is just waiting, waiting for the arrival of winter.

Because everyone knows that the Turks are in a bitter and cold place, and it is absolutely impossible to attack the Turks in winter, and that is also the time when the Turks are most relaxed.

As for why we chose to attack in a few unfavorable seasons like winter, it was because this time the Tang Dynasty had a rule on whether it was to be taken back to the government or left to the people, that is, the duck feathers must be handed over to the government.

Those people were already grateful to the government for getting the ducks, and they had no objection to taking away the duck feathers.

Although I don’t know what it is for the government to take away this thing, but since the thing on my hands cannot be eaten or used, I can’t even throw it away. If the government wants to take it away, then take it away.

The first thing to complete is the garment factory in the south of Chang'an.

As long as the warmth of the duck down jacket is determined, Li Shimin will start the military operation of the Northern Expedition to the Turks this winter.

"How lucky is Tang Ping in Tang Dynasty!" Li Shimin put down the globe in his hand: "But this guy is a little lazy, Tang Ping! Lying flat! What is this logic? Shouldn't Tang Ping be Pingshun in Tang Dynasty?"

"Ah Yeh!"

"Young master, have you caught a cold? Why don't we go into the house!"

"No, no, it's just that my nose was a little itchy just now. Maybe someone was talking about me!" Tang Ping rubbed his nose.

It will be the end of May, and the summer of the Tang Dynasty is coming soon. Although he is not as strong as Lao Cui and Du, he is not a weak and handsome man.

This night, you won’t catch a cold.

"Look, this is Vega, and this is Ark of the West, and this one is Ark of the West, and this one is a little darker than Ark of the West, called Tianjin Four, and the three of them are called the Summer Triangle!"

Tang Ping pointed to the stars above his head with a star-gazing pen and explained to everyone that he participated in an astronomical club when he was in college. Although the knowledge of astronomy was also half-filled, these obvious stars could still be recognized.

I was bored tonight and didn’t want to go to bed too early, so I found the star-gazing pen in my drawer and sat in the yard with everyone to watch the stars.

This sky full of stars is hard to see in modern times.

"I know, I know!" Xiaoluo pointed to the stars in the sky and said, "I have heard that the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl were separated by the Queen Mother by the Milky Way. They were indeed on both sides of the Milky Way!"

"That's all fake. The Milky Way is a lot of stars, stars like the sun! Well, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl are the same, but they are too far away from us, so they look only so small."

"What? Are Cowherd and Weaver Girl fake?" Xiaoluo only felt that she had believed in a beautiful love fairy tale that she had believed in for more than ten years. Why did she break it when she arrived at the young master?

"Uh...that..." Tang Ping looked at Xiao Luo and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Miss, look, the stars of the Tang Dynasty are no different from those of our Dongyue! Aaron and Vega are still separated by the Milky Way, but our ladies...hehehe..."
Chapter completed!
