Chapter 911 Folk Workshop

The difference is that all this money has been put into the Changsun family's pockets, and I believe Li Shimin earns more.

"His Royal Highness Qin, have you read the newspapers in Youzhou?"

"Wuji, what's wrong with you?"

"Your Highness's merchants in Youzhou are selling a kind of escort food called compressed biscuits. It is said that one piece can support food for a day. According to reports, several forces have purchased it, and it is rare for dry food to fight outside."

Li Shimin began to pay attention to it. You should know that some of the combat effectiveness of the pioneer soldiers is really related to their dry food. Once these compressed biscuits are available, they can save a lot of time during the movement. Not only can they greatly reduce the speed of transporting grain and grass.

The most important point is that these compressed dry foods are easy to carry. It is no heavier to carry dry foods for ten days a person than to carry a weapon.

Especially when cavalry travel, you can use horses to carry them in a concentrated manner, which can fully support one month's consumption, and it is also possible if the horses are enough to consume more days.

Of course, the premise is that the soldiers can persist in eating compressed biscuits for a long time, which is really nothing to Li Shimin's opinion.

If you don’t have food on the battlefield, you will eat anything, not to mention that compressed biscuits are made of pure food.

"Wuji, if we buy some, will it cause dissatisfaction among the court officials?" Li Shimin asked.

The purchase of compressed biscuits from Youzhou is unhidden, after all, these things are to be distributed to soldiers.

"I think your highness might as well explain the matter to Your Majesty. Perhaps the court officials already know this. With these dry food, I believe Your Majesty can understand it."

Zhang Su Wuji meant to directly tell the pros and cons, and Li Yuan could still listen to the persuasion. Besides, they bought products from the Youzhou merchants and would not involve conflicts between the forces of the two sides.

Don’t forget that many forces have bought them. Not only can they keep compressed biscuits for a long time, but they are all food.

Although the autumn harvest of Chang'an and Luoyang have harvested a lot of food, it is not enough compared to consumption. If you can buy more compressed biscuits, you can also fill your stomach if you are famine.

After hearing Changsun Wuji's words, he did not hesitate. He knew that the Li family's soldiers would continue to take over more places in the future, and it was necessary to store dry food. Now he would not miss this good opportunity.

So Li Shimin immediately entered the palace to meet the saint.

"Father, there is a private compressed dry food workshop in Youzhou newspaper selling compressed biscuits. One piece can be used to support the food for the day. Several forces have already purchased food. My son thought we could purchase some for reserve."

"Didn't anyone care about the merchants in Youzhou selling these things?" Li Yuan had read the Youzhou newspaper. Although he was clean with the Youzhou forces on the surface, he paid no less attention to Youzhou than others.

"You can purchase some compressed biscuits, but it is not advisable to have too many of them. Even if the food is stored for a long time, it still has a time limit. If you can obtain the technology to produce compressed biscuits, we can process it ourselves."

Li Yuan said these things either casually or they were obviously asking him to find a way.

Li Shimin thought this was a good idea. It was just that processing compressed biscuits required food. If the grain reserves could not be solved, it would still be impossible to fundamentally solve the problem.

Returning from the palace to the Qin Palace, he immediately summoned his advisers to have a meeting.

"The father meant to buy equipment to produce compressed biscuits."

Changsun Wuji knew very well that this matter was difficult to deal with. The merchants who could buy equipment were all from Youzhou.

Besides, if it were him, he wouldn't sell the equipment to others.

"If Your Highness wants to accomplish this, I will probably have to have direct contact with Youzhou. As far as I know, the equipment purchased by merchants in Youzhou requires the technology franchise fee, and it is impossible to obtain the equipment through merchants." Fang Xuanling said.

These people are concerned about Youzhou's newspapers. The news that encouraged inventions and creations before were not limited to Youzhou but included the whole world.

"It seems that people are going to send someone to Youzhou to discuss cooperation, who will go?" Li Shimin asked.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui both looked at Changsun Wuji. At this time, Changsun Wuji had no idea how many resentment he had in his heart.

"Wouji is willing to take this trip?" Li Shimin asked.

Changsun Wuji was a little timid. After all, the forces of both sides were enemies, especially the vanguard soldiers snatched Penglai City from his hands. If he wanted to say sincerely, he would not want to go, but when he saw everyone's eyes, he knew that he had to go.

"Your Highness trusts me to do my best."

Changsun Wuji felt distressed. He really didn't want to go, what if he didn't come back.

But he had no room for regret.

A few days later, Changsun Wuji went to Youzhou in the name of the envoy of Chang'an.

Li Shimin was reluctant to let Changsun Wuji die, so he asked him for the title of envoy before leaving, which would be more safe than the people in Youzhou to do anything bad.

Li Shimin had no choice, and the most important thing was to complete the task given by Li Yuan.

Changsun Wuji was nervous all the way. He was thinking about what kind of treatment he would face in Youzhou. He had already made plans to not be able to come back.

The only letter he could use to save his life was Li Shimin's letter to him. Li Shimin wrote to Li Xiuning to send the letter to the governor's office when he encountered danger.

The envoy from Chang'an visited Youzhou. When Changsun Wuji was about to arrive in Youzhou, he sent a quick horse to deliver the letter. He wanted to report whether the other party allowed him to visit. If the situation was not right, he still had the possibility of running away.

When the spy who reported the news came back, Changsun Wuji's convoy was almost approaching Youzhou City. This was not the first time he came here to know that Youzhou had no concept of a city.

From the boundary marker on the roadside, you know that you have already stepped into the boundary of Youzhou in front.

After receiving the news, a special person immediately reported the news to Li De. Don’t go to Youzhou to visit him or her. It is a major event and must be directed by Li De.

"Changsun Wuji, please continue to receive the reception according to the corresponding etiquette."

Then the vanguard's guard of honor was dispatched, and two hundred soldiers wearing light armored soldiers traveled to escort the envoy to the city guarding the palace.

Because no one watched the special road when he was walking, Changsun Wuji's convoy was received with high standards, which in Changsun Wuji's eyes were high standards.

This was also the same thing when I visited Youzhou last time.

After arriving at the city guard's mansion, reception staff came to receive it immediately.

Changsun Wuji was welcomed to the reception room of the Chengshou Mansion, and then the Chengshou Mansion photographed representatives of the heads of various departments coming.

After some introduction, Changsun Wuji knew that everyone here was a lieutenant-level person who was known to him by the department representative.
