Of course, Wang Yi could have expected that what he said would have had such an effect, but Li Shimin's ability to control emotions was far beyond his surprise. The look of surprise disappeared in just a flash, and he still looked calm.

After looking at Wang Yi a few times, Li Shimin smiled on his face, "What a saying, "I'm a good example, but I just heard you say that, but it's not a theory of showing off. I have benefited a lot from listening. I didn't expect that you are so insightful about war. You are really worthy of being the son of General Wang who was so powerful that Jianghuai and saved Du Fuwei's life several times! The tiger father has no dog son, and this is not bad at all. I will definitely consider the views you put forward and inform the generals in front of you to refer to them!"

"Your Majesty is too praiseworthy. Xiaomin is just talking nonsense and talking about war on paper. Your Majesty is very satisfied if he doesn't blame Xiaomin for talking nonsense," Wang Yi quickly said modestly. "Your Majesty, things on the battlefield are changing rapidly. The commander of the army and the chief supervisors of each branch must adapt to the changes and make arrangements according to the changes in the enemy situation. Xiaomin feels that since Your Majesty has given full authority to Li Shangshu, he naturally has great trust in Li Shangshu's command. What Xiaomin said is naturally not comparable to the strategies of generals such as Shangshu. How can he use them as a reference!"

"Oh, little brat, aren't you very proud? Why are you so hypocritical and humble? Haha!" Li Shimin cursed, then put away his smile, and said with a serious look: "I have led soldiers and fight wars. Naturally, as the commander, you should ask more ideas for the generals. Knowing that some of the necessary suggestions of the subordinates can often provide a very useful reference for the commander. Your views and some of my own ideas will naturally be passed on to the generals ahead!"

After hearing what Li Shimin said, Wang Yi no longer pretended to be modest and straightened his waist when he spoke. "Your Majesty, Xiaomin feels that with Li Shangshu leading the army in front and sending him with His Majesty's instructions, Your Majesty can rest assured that the Turks will suffer a heavy blow in this battle, and even be in a slump. It is hard to say whether Jie Li can escape the disaster. Your Majesty is just waiting for the good news in front of you!"

"Oh?! Are you so confident in the war commanded by Shangshu Li?!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, among all the generals of the Tang Dynasty, Xiaomin admires the most is Shangshu Li! Xiaomin also feels that if he controls the army and commands this war, the victory must belong to my Tang Dynasty!" In front of Li Shimin, Wang Yi did not hide his admiration for Li Jing at all.

According to historical records, Li Jing commanded countless large and small battles, and basically no defeats were achieved. During the Tang Dynasty, only Li Shimin had such outstanding military talents. However, Li Shimin is now an emperor. If Li Shimin, who became an emperor, was asked to command the battle, the strategy he considered might be very different from Li Shimin before he became an emperor, and it is not necessarily defeated. It can be seen from the later 19th year of Zhenguan that the battle of Goryeo was not interrupted, which eventually led to the failure of the strategic goal of the battle of Goryeo personally.

Therefore, although there are countless famous generals in the Tang Dynasty, what Wang Yi admires the most is Li Jing, who has never failed and has a good beginning and ended well.

After hearing Wang Yi's words, Li Shimin looked at Wang Yi with a serious expression for a while, then showed a smile, patted Wang Yi on the shoulder, and then said: "Chenyang, the pharmacist knew that when ** talked about the necessity of sending troops to the Turks in front of me, he praised you very much. He originally wanted to meet you and interview you, but unfortunately he was busy on the battlefield and missed it! Looking at the world, don't say that even those who are as old as you, even those who are in a high position in the court can receive such praise from the pharmacist! Now ** also praised the pharmacist in front of me. This should not be a coincidence, right? The word "shao"! Haha! The heroes have similar views and appreciate each other!"

"Your Majesty, Xiaomin is just a common man. How dare you be a hero? And even more afraid to compare with Shangshu Li!" He was ashamed, and was really ashamed. After hearing Li Shimin's words, Wang Yi felt a little fluttering in his heart, and was also a little worried. What should he do if he was exposed one day and did not respond to the moves at the critical moment? Make up for it, make up for everything, including the leading combat in the era of cold weapons. The emperor in front of him might ask him to lead his troops to fight one day.

There are so many generals around me who have participated in many wars, so they naturally know about some marching and combat. It should be of great use to study hard. Of course, some other ways of being an official should also be learned. Depending on the situation, Li Shimin would not give up if he didn't give him any official position.

"There is no practical difference between a man and a hero. Before becoming a hero, aren't most of the people all perverts? Haha!" Li Shimin laughed again, "I heard your words very reasonable. I will not accept your orders! Since I have entrusted the pharmacist to govern the army, all military deployments will naturally be decided by him. I believe that the pharmacist will definitely give me a big surprise! Come, let's sit down and talk!"

Li Shimin seemed to be in a good mood. After smiling at Wang Yi, he got off the hall first, walked to the side of the case, sat down, called in, and ordered some wine and food to be served, so that Wang Yi would sit next to him.

"I want to drink with this emperor again!" Wang Yi was muttering in his heart, but he did not dare to refuse, and sat down next to Li Shimin as he said.

"Chenyang, when the army went to war, I was still worried about the problem of food, but the batch of grain from Jiangnan Road was relieved by me!" Li Shimin picked out a memorial from the case and threw it to Wang Yi. "Look, the memorial sent to me by Hangzhou Governor Li Hongjie said that this year, the grain in Hangzhou area was greatly improved, and the total output increased three times compared with the previous year. This time he went to Beijing to report his work, and also escorted 100,000 stones of rice. This 100,000 stones of grain has solved a big problem for me!"

Wang Yi took this memorial that he shouldn't have read and looked it briefly. It really remembered that this year the grain harvest in Hangzhou was bumper, and the official warehouses were full, and the tax grain collected could not be accumulated. When Li Hongjie returned to Beijing, he also transported 100,000 stones of grain to Chang'an through the canal. He said with great surprise: "Your Majesty, this is a great thing. The people did not expect that the output in Hangzhou would increase several times due to the dredging of West Lake..."

When Li Hongjie returned to Beijing, it is likely that he was not just a simple job remark. It is possible that he had made outstanding achievements during his tenure in Hangzhou and returned to Beijing to work.

At this time, the food and drinks also came. Li Shimin raised his glass to honor Wang Yi: "In the first year of Zhenguan, Hangzhou Governor Li Hongjie also submitted a memorial to the court for disaster relief, but a year passed, and in the second year of Zhenguan, the government had a grain inventory. By this year, it could provide an additional 100,000 stones of grain. How could I be unhappy? Chenyang, you have brought new life to Hangzhou. Come on, I would like to wish you a cup!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Wang Yi said loudly after saying that he drank the wine glass. After putting down the wine glass, he said loudly: "Your Majesty, Xiaomin thinks that rice planting and rice-wheat reseeding technology should be implemented as soon as possible. Hangzhou has a warm climate, and other Jiangnan Roads, Shannan Road, and other Jiangnan Roads that are more than south of Hangzhou, as well as Lingnan Road and Jiannan Road, all of which can be implemented. Compared with the one-year ripening system in most places, more than one-year ripening system, and rice-wheat reseeding, intensive cultivation and extensive water conservancy can increase the grain output exponentially. Hangzhou is the best example. Xiaomin begs Your Majesty to consider it!"

Wang Yi had almost said this in front of Li Shimin the third time, but he never saw any specific measures taken by the court, and Li Shimin did not have a very clear attitude. Wang Yi hoped that the court could take this as soon as possible, so he talked about this topic again.

"I have asked officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs to go down to Hangzhou for some research, and ordered officials from Jiangnan Road, Shannan Road, Lingnan Road, Jiannan Road and Huainan Road to carefully investigate the planting situation in various places. Starting next year, we will improve the planting methods in the fields of various states, plant rice more widely, and replant rice and wheat. At the same time, we will ask the governor of Jiaozhou to collect rice seeds from Zhancheng and lead them to Lingnan, Jiangnan, and Shannan Road to prepare for trial planting!" Li Shimin smiled as he spoke, and raised his glass again and said, "Chenyang, come, I will give you another cup. You have made a great contribution to the people of the world who can eat a lot. I am grateful to you... Thank you for the people of Hangzhou and all the people of the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Shimin's certain words benefited Wang Yi very much. He was worried that these suggestions would not be heard by Li Shimin because of the words of these suggestions. Now it seems that all worries are redundant.

But Li Shimin's words were too heavy, and Wang Yi dared not bear it. He hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty is so heavy. Xiaomin only saw some relevant records when he was reading books from his predecessors. He was idle on weekdays, so he asked the village master to improve the planting method and asked them to find a way to get Chameng rice. After seeing that the harvest is much better than the current planting method, he dared to speak to Your Majesty. Your Majesty can listen to Xiaomin's words, Xiaomin is extremely grateful and dare not be what Your Majesty said just now!"

"You kid, this is what happened again. I toast you, don't you drink?" Li Shimin deliberately frowned and raised his glass again, "Come on, drink with me!" As he said that, he drank the wine in the glass all in one go!

Wang Yi had nothing to say and had to dry the wine in the glass.

Li Shimin put down the cup, picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of meat, put it in his mouth and chewed it. He asked Wang Yi casually, "Chenyang, where are the people who come to Chang'an with you?"

Wang Yi was shocked and quickly responded: "Yes, Your Majesty, they are all in Chang'an City. Xiaomin originally wanted to bring them to see Your Majesty, but he knew that Your Majesty was busy for a while, so he did not dare to disturb him!"

"You can bring them to see me after a few days. I will give them my reward!" Li Shimin said this without any special expression, and the topic quickly changed, "Prepare, I will go to Jiuji Mountain in two days to hunt in autumn, and you can go with me!"

"Ah... Qiu Hunting, it's Your Majesty!" Wang Yi exclaimed and responded loudly. He was not very able to understand Li Shimin's actions. Logically, the war in the north was about to begin. Li Shimin should not be in the mood to hunt. He should wait in the palace for the news ahead to come. If he didn't really listen to what he had just said, I believe that Li Jing would bring unexpected surprises and completely relieve the war.

Also, it was even more surprising to ask him to go with him. Is this a further expression of favor?
