The First Family of Tang Dynasty

Cheng Guang stood up and respectfully said to Zhang Jin.

"Good Uncle Master, we will finish it as soon as possible. During the time that Cheng Guang and I left Chang'an.

At the medical school, you can only ask Uncle Master and your brothers. "

Zhang Jin quickly got up and replied with a polite expression.

"Don't worry, it's your brothers, we must take care of those outstanding students in the Department of Medicine of Cheng's University."

"They followed you to the battlefield. It was a dangerous place. I was supposed to lead the team. It's a pity..."

Zhang Jin was a little bit painful, and he had already taken the initiative to find Cheng Fu, the housekeeper of Lu Guo Gong's mansion, and offered to lead himself with the army.

It's a pity that Cheng Fu told himself with a smile that the third son confessed that you Zhang Jin will squat in Chang'an honestly.

The Cheng family is still going to go to the battlefield.

Having said that, Cheng Liang and Cheng Guang had gone to Tuyuhun with the army before somehow, and their medical skills have already become famous among the army of the Tang Dynasty.

The two brothers led the team, and it was indeed easier to convince the rough guys in the army, after all, the elite of this expedition.

Many of them were the elites of Datang who had participated in the battle of Tuyuhun before, and were even treated for injuries in that battle.

Hearing that these two were going with the army, they immediately proudly boasted to the new brothers that the doctors of the Cheng family were so powerful.

In this way, the morale of the Tang generals who were about to go to Gaochang was lifted.

Even Li Shimin himself didn't expect that just because he heard that the doctors from Cheng's University were accompanying him, he would be able to make the soldiers so happy.

After all, if there were doctors like Cheng Guang and Cheng Liang in the army, they would bring countless Datang wounded and soldiers back from the brink of death.

With them, it is equivalent to their own life is well protected.

Whether it was Qihe Heli or Hou Junji, after seeing the emotional changes of the soldiers in the army, they indulged in such propaganda intentionally or unintentionally.

But at this time, Li Ji, the Shangshu of the Department of War of the Tang Dynasty, had already jumped to the Huhu.

I found Tang Jian, the Shangshu from the Ministry of Households. At this moment, the two were walking in the workshop of compressed military rations of the Ministry of Households.

Li Ji looked at the workers who were making compressed military rations. There was a strong fragrance in the workshop.

Seeing that the workers are mixing and squeezing the various ingredients in proportions, and others are using oil paper to pack the compressed dry food that has cooled down.

Tang Jian took a piece of packed compressed military rations, squeezed it under his nose, smelled the smell, and handed it to Li Ji with a smile.

"This time, according to the requirements of the Ministry of War, we have produced 50,000 people, one month's compressed military rations."

"Now this last batch will be completed in three days."

After Li Ji received his hand, he tore open the package, took a bite after sniffing it, and tasting the taste of the thing, slowly and authentically.

"That's good. With this, the army will pass through the sand sea, so there is no need to worry about being found out in advance by the enemy of Gaochang and cutting my food."

"The soldiers will not march and fight hungry."

Tang Jian nodded in agreement, starting from Chang'an and arriving at Yumen Pass, it would take about a month.

This road is considered to be traveling within the territory of Datang, so there will be no problem with heavy supplies.

But after going out of Yumen Pass, from Yumen Pass to Gaochang, that is two thousand miles of sand sea.

The soldiers wanting to cross the sand sea to supply supplies is a very terrible problem, but fortunately, they have a familiarity with the Western Regions.

But even so, after repeated wargames, there are still more than a thousand miles of sand that needs to be traversed.

In this area of ​​more than a thousand miles, there are only a few oases that can replenish water for the army, but there is no way for food.

Fortunately, Li Ji, who had bet with Cheng Chubi to lose his salary for half a year, quickly proposed a plan to cross the sand sea with compressed military rations.

First, compressed dry food can be eaten without cooking. Second, it is light in weight and full of satiety.

It can also ensure that the soldiers have enough physical strength to maintain high-intensity exercise throughout the day.

If it is the conventional Datang army food, it is millet, at least three catties a day, 20 days, then it will have a load of 60 catties.

And millet is all raw, and it needs fuel to cook. Compared with the applicability of compressed military rations, it is really different.

And this is what the Zuowei army has repeatedly verified. To this end, Li Shimin gladly ordered the production of 50,000 one-month compressed rations.

Li Ji chewed and ate half of the compressed army ration, which was too dry. He took the water from the guard and took a big mouthful.

Then he smashed his lips contentedly, said goodbye to Tang Jian, and left the compressed military ration production workshop.

Ten days later, Hou Junji and Qihe Heli, who were already fully armed, finally led the army out of Chang'an and hurried towards the Yumen Pass.

In the city of Jiaozhou, a manager is arriving at the Jiaozhou branch of Jiaozhou Hantang Commercial Bank one after another.

After they arrived, they went straight through the shops of the branch and entered the backyard, although they had just gotten a bumper harvest a few days ago.

But their faces are full of worry, UU reading www.uukanshu.com whispering about something.

After the news of the Han and Tang Commercial Banks' development in Jiaozhou came out from the DPRK, whether it was Chang'an or Luoyang.

The dignitaries of the Tang Dynasty, as well as the noble families, felt that they couldn't wait any longer.

After all, a bunch of rough masters are rushing to buy land in Jiaozhou, and even your majesty's daughter, Princess Jinyang, has obtained a lot of land in Jiaozhou.

Coupled with the emergence of three crops of rice that can harvest three crops at that one year old, countless people have seen opportunities.

Therefore, as the representatives of the high-ranking officials and noble families arrived in Jiaozhou one after another, although the land price in Jiaozhou has risen by a bit.

However, anyone with a bit of foresight has already realized the impropriety when the representatives arrived in Jiaozhou and began to buy land on a large scale.

Because the population in the south is not large, especially the population in Jiaozhou Dudufu, it is simply unable to digest that much food.

With the land that has been reclaimed today, if all three crops of rice are planted, and three crops a year are produced, the local consumption is probably less than one Chengdu.

Then the food prices in Jiaozhou will inevitably fall to a distressing point.

For this reason, everyone can't help but worry about starting to plan ahead.

Today's gathering was requested by Cheng An, the director of the Jiaozhou branch of Hantang Commercial Bank.

At this moment, Cheng An was carefully looking at the letter from Luzhou, which was written by Cheng Sanlang, the initiator of the Han and Tang Commercial Bank.

Before, Cheng An went south with the sea boat for a lap. After returning, he happened to know the news that those people were rushing to Jiaozhou.

After learning about this news, Cheng An couldn't help but feel a little painful. He didn't know what to do, but received such a letter from Luzhou.
