Chapter 2279 Tubo teenager
Food has always been the lifeblood of the feudal dynasty. No matter how powerful the army you have, logistics support is a must. Without food, these armies will disperse without attack.
Jiao Siluo also knew about this problem, which was also the reason why he tried every means to get potatoes and sweet potatoes from the Song Dynasty.
The Tubo Plateau is too much food. Although it is impossible to see now, the liberated serfs have become the people. If they want to make their population larger and larger, they must have enough food to support them!
Jiaosiluo saw the future of Tubo, and only with a large population would make Tubo prosperous. In addition to most of the food resources, Tubo actually has no shortage of resources, but lacks people. If there are fewer people, there will be no way to obtain a large amount of resources to strengthen the national strength.
Why did Songtsen Gampo make the Tubo Dynasty comparable to the prosperous Tang Dynasty? The fundamental reason is that the Tubo population was large at that time, and the acquisition and processing of resources became more convenient.
Jiao Siluo didn't know what changes could bring to Tubo, such as power and means, but he could use these two things to increase the population of Tubo.
Liberating serfs and increasing the population of Tubo were all benevolent policies that were beneficial to Tubo. He saw the root cause, and food was the key to the increase in population.
Tubo’s medical skills are not very good, and there are not many famous doctors in Tubo. However, there are many shamans who rely on prayers to cast spells.
Wuma was once a respected shaman, but he also relied on the medical skills inheritance left over from the Tubo Dynasty, rather than real prayer.
Renqin Sangbo once said that if the population of Tubo wants to increase rapidly, there is no shortcut. It can only increase the output of Tubo. Whether it is cattle, sheep, or barley, it cannot fully meet the needs of Tubo. They need more output and obtain more food from the land!
Only when all living people are full will they find ways to reproduce and more Tubo teenagers will be born!
During this period, when Jiao Siluo was fine, he would run out of Luoshe City. Whenever he saw farmers farming in the land, he would come forward to chat. He was dressed simply and had dark skin. No one knew that he was Zanpu of Tubo.
Looking at the farmer who was working hard in the field, Jiao Siluo pinched a barley and rubbed it casually in his hands. The plump particles fell on his hands, emitting a fragrance in the sun.
Blow off a thin layer of skin on it, and Jiao Siluo crushed it into his mouth, and the slight sweetness immediately spread across his face with his smile.
"Brother, I saw that I was a person who grew up in the field. This is the best acre of barley field in my family. Now the sun is full, and it takes three or two days to make the sweetest time for barley!"
Jiaosiluo smiled and said, "Old brother, how are you doing this year? Tubo has changed its master, how do you live in a city of Luoshe?"
The old farmer pulled the clothes on his shoulder and smiled, "Are you an official in the Red Palace?"
Jiao Siluo was a little curious: "How do you know?"
"Hey, there have been more than three waves of people asking this question. They are all officials who have arrived in the city recently. You are the fourth wave!"
"Dad, dad, grandma, ask when will you go home!"
The young man's voice was always crisp and pleasant, with vividness and vitality. Jiao Siluo raised his eyes and saw a young man avoiding all the barley and walking through the ridges. Before the people arrived, the sound had already arrived.
Jiao Siluo smiled and said, "Your son?"
"yes!"
Although it is a short word, the voice is full of pride and pride. This child is his connection
Seeing Jiao Siluo, the young man paused slightly, and the sun on his face turned redder and became more and more rosy: "Does this noble man need a boy who grazes?!"
Jiao Siluo did not expect that the seemingly shy boy dared to ask him in this way, but his father tried his best to stop him.
After looking around, Jiao Siluo waved his hand and said, "Don't you want such a large barley field?"
The young man looked back at the fields, then looked at his father's expectant eyes, and suddenly shook his head and said, "No! I want to ride a horse, I want to graz, I want to gallop on the grassland and fulfill my brother's wish!"
Jiao Siluo squatted down curiously: "Read your brother's wish? Why?"
"Aoma went to Xiji. Although he was better than me, he was stronger than me. We didn't like to work on the land. Dad was originally a slave, and he was released from slavery and had land. My family's life was better, but our brothers liked to grazing the most. Aomama originally grazed like me, but he was sick. Before going to Xiji, he wanted me to ride a horse to grazle and not farm."
Looking at the persistence in the young man's eyes, Jiao Siluo put his hands on his shoulder and asked, "Your Majesty, you want to ride a horse and grazing? Why don't you be a warrior?! My young man in Tubo should gallop on the horse's back, holding a long sword and a strong bow in his hand to defend his country! Zanpu's personal army is recruiting people, why not try it?"
The boy looked at his father beside him, and Jiao Siluo also looked over. At this time, the old farmer only had fear and prayer in his eyes. The boy hesitated for a moment: "Aoma has gone to the Pure Land, I want to stay and serve my father and mom!"
Jiao Siluo shook his head and looked at the old farmer and said, "You shouldn't stop him. The young man is an eagle and a beast. He will never make a name for himself when he is trapped in the ground and will never gain pride! What's your name for a young man?"
"Langrixi Rao!"
Jiao Siluo suddenly stood up and shouted: "Langrixirao, do you want to follow me and become my personal cavalry! Riding on horseback and killing the enemy and outside!"
The personal cavalry is Zanpu's personal soldier and the most noble and elite cavalry on the Tubo Plateau.
The sun on the young man's face was even more violent, and sweat appeared on his forehead. Everyone would have his own choice, and he was no exception: "If you are the noble Zamp of Tubo, Langrixirao is willing to follow you forever!"
"Hahaha!"
Jiaosiluo smiled and looked at the old farmer: "See, you can't tie the eagle, you can't tie his dream of flying high! Langrixirao, from now on, you will be my Jiaosiluo's personal soldier, always with me! Sadunju gives him a horse!"
Although the young man was reluctant to leave, his eyes were firm. He knew that he would never miss this opportunity.
The old peasant lost everything, but Jiaosiluo gained strength. This is Tubo, and this is a forced exchange.
While laughing, Jiao Siluo was also filled with helplessness and pain. If there were more Tubo people and more young men around Rilangxi, they would not be like this today.
Renqin Sangbo is right. There are too few people in Tubo, too few food, too few doctors, and too few medicinal materials.
Only when there are enough people can these too few become rich and huge, and the power of Tubo will become stronger.
