Chapter 225: What the Heart Wants, Liaodong Red Jade
Chapter 225: What people want Liaodong Red Jade
This hillside is very similar to that of the imperial village in Luoyang. There is a small dam below the hillside. Behind the dam is a small reservoir, and there are hundreds of acres of flat land along the beach. So I copied the set of the imperial village in Luoyang.
There are many Sichuan oranges planted on the mountain and some grasses. The climate in Yizhou is pleasant, and these grasses grow well. There are cotton and some sorghum at the foot of the mountain. Many pigs and ducks are raised, and some aquatic crops are planted on the shallow beach of the reservoir. Li Wei also saw dozens of acres of rice, walked straight over, looked at the neat rows and plant spacing, and asked: "When did Yizhou start planting this kind of crop."
"Your Highness, it's rice. I have been planted in Yizhou for many years. I didn't know that the yield was not high. Until this kind of rice transplantation began, I heard that there were actually two stones per mu in the south. When Your Majesty popularized this kind of "establishing cultivation" across the country, I also tried to plant some."
The yield of two stones is still not high, but the price of rice is several times higher than the actual price of corn. Li Wei nodded and said, "In fact, it's still better and better if you choose the seeds for a long time... Grain is the foundation of the country, a century-old plan, and a thousand-year plan."
There are only two stones in the south of the Yangtze River, and Yizhou's output will be even lower. But Li Wei will definitely not be satisfied with this yield. A mu of land of about two hundred kilograms of rice, and in later generations, more than one billion Chinese people will starve to death. This is still the yield of the rice planting method. You can imagine the result of sprinkling in the fields. In fact, the yield has not come out. You can see that the rice flowers have begun to exist and the rice plants have grown and formed, which is really inappropriate. It is estimated that seeds are the key factor. Even if there are no chemical fertilizers and pesticides, it is not difficult to find one thousand kilograms of 500 kilograms, and it should not be difficult to get five or six hundred kilograms per mu. The southwest is a problem of food and clothing, and the entire Tang Dynasty is still a problem of food and clothing. The main thing is the output of grain. The output of one mu of land is less than two stones to get four stones, which would be an amazing number. And four stones are not difficult...
Seeds have a suitable process for evolution, and time will be very slow, but you have to choose the seeds yourself and choose the best seeds. Once you choose them a year, you can become a good seed.
"Yes," Yizhou officials replied in unison.
The food matter starts with the prince. Last year, there were also experimental fields in Yizhou, and the effect seemed to be good. This year it has been promoted a lot, and it has become inevitable to increase the yield. Speaking of which, it has a lot to do with this prince. As for Prince Ren, everyone says that this prince is a star in the sky, and the southwest... The governor of Yizhou came over and asked curiously: "Your Highness, I heard about the Southwest General Conference in Yizhou, and Suzaku appeared."
"Hey, how did you know?" This pretending to be a fool was only tinkering in the southwest, and it cannot be taken seriously.
"Some merchants heard that Yaozhou was pacified and went to Yaozhou. After they came back, they spread a lot, so I heard about it. I wonder if this matter is taken seriously?"
"I don't know," Li Wei replied angrily. I can't say that this was made by me pretending to be a fool. How did the chiefs of the tribes in the southwest think about this? It immediately had a counterproductive effect. But it cannot be said that it was true. The governor of Yizhou was inexplicably confused.
Li Wei immediately changed the topic and came to the cotton field. There were already cotton wool hanging on the cotton branches and asked: "There are also people in Yizhou who grow cotton."
"Yes, I'm still asking the emperor for something. I can see if I can plant one in Yizhou. If I can plant it, until the weather is cold, I don't want to make cloth, stuff it into cloth, and make some quilts, which will prevent the people from getting frozen."
"You are a good official."
"This is the duty of the minister, and the people are responsible for food and clothing..."
"It's done well," Li Wei praised again, "The upward and downward effect. It should be said that parents are not evil to the people. The officials below are greedy, gray industries, and unfair, but overall, they are not doing it obviously. It's not too bad. Not only Yizhou, but most of them pass through many prefectures.
He came to the pig house again. It was Li Wei who came by himself. It smelled bad. After looking at the pigs, Li Wei said again: "This is good. It is also a good deed for people to eat a few meals a year."
"Yes," Seeing that Li Wei didn't even cover his nose, all the officials respected him. No matter what, he had a high opinion of Li Wei in his heart. Only such Prince Ren would work hard and go to the barren land of the southern desert in person and love the people.
The experiences and ideas are different. If the original prince had never stood here. However, it was not for the sake of concern that Li Wei rolled up his trousers and fed the pigs by himself, and he would not feel dirty. After entering the city with adulthood, he lived like this. He had such a personality and would not forget his roots.
The governor of Yizhou said carefully again: "There is already a chicken laying eggs, and I have distributed them to some lonely and widowed elderly people."
“It should be…”
Di Renjie and Zhu Jingze looked at each other, then nodded understandingly.
After looking at it, I started to enter the city. Countless people at the gate of the city were greeted by the people. The Tang Dynasty emphasized martial arts and over literature, and a "Emperor Wen" might not be popular. Therefore, once Li Zhi died of illness, it would be unlikely that all races would come to hang themselves, beating their chests and stamping their feet and calling out to the Khan of Heaven.
The war on the front line ended not long ago, and the news was not well developed, but because the prince personally fought, it spread quickly and spread... it was quite ridiculous. It was three battles, but it was so magnificent that it was extremely magical. Li Wei shot a Tubo cavalry with one arrow, which was very lucky. The folk saying was that a Tubo general was extremely brave. He was about to lead a large army into the Tang Dynasty camp, and the Tang army was in danger. The prince shouted that he was not good and took an eight-stone bow and shot it with one arrow. Seeing that the general was dead, the Tubo people were frustrated.
In fact, Li Wei was dissatisfied with the fact that he didn’t need eight stone bows or four stone bows.
There are more than three battles, but they can only be said to be two battles. The battle in Changcaoling did not count. There were only two thousand chaotic people, a chess piece that allowed the Wulu clan to gain the trust of the Tang army. The battle between Qiulongdu and Yaozhou was the real battle. Later, when Xue Rengui and Heichi Changzhi and Liang Jishou pacified the various troops, there were also some small battles that could not be counted.
But the people like it.
Zhuque appeared again, and the prince was kind and caring for the people, so God came to Jiangdongli, but now it is not called Jiangdongli. The official saying is Ji Tianlei, and the folk saying is called Prince Lei. Therefore, when he heard that the prince returned, there were thousands of people and the roads on both sides were crowded with blackness. Then he watched Li Wei riding on the horse with a gentle expression. From time to time, he threw a few sympathetic eyes at the ragged people, and each one was even more respectful. Suddenly, someone took the lead, and a sound came from: "Long live the prince." As tens of thousands of people shouted in unison.
Li Wei fled in panic and said in his heart, everyone, don’t shout, it was a good thing, but it was pacified by the southwest. This is the face of the royal family. My father should be happy. After all, it means the Li family. This shout can be called a bad thing.
Di Renjie's eyes were turning, and it was not until this time that the prince truly wanted the people. Although the emperor would not be very happy, the people's desires reached a certain point, which was also a force. The severity of the matter, how to choose... is calculated.
Not easy to calculate.
After entering the city, the governor of Yizhou said again: "Your Highness, the court has been in good weather this year. Not only will your highness win in the southwest, but you will also have a small victory."
"Tell me," Li Wei said. But he was thinking about it. *** was also very difficult to deal with. Why are you fighting every year? Without going through something, you don't have a wise mind. Only when you lead your troops will you realize that the terrible war will not only kill people but also waste a lot of financial resources.
The governor of Yizhou repeated the news that he read in the newspaper. After spring, there was a rebellion again. Li Jinxing, the general of the court, led his army to cross the Yalu River to destroy the rebels. In the Hulu River, which was a tributary from the origin of Baitou Mountain to the Han River, it defeated the rebels and captured thousands of people, and the rest fled to Silla.
Li Wei frowned. He knew that Li Jinxing was the son of a large tribe chief, who was extremely brave and powerful. He was a major general in the Northern Territory of the court. He was just thinking that *** was still Chinese territory during the Western Jin Dynasty. Later, after the Five Barbarians invaded China, China lost control and began to grow and grew stronger, and eroded to Liaodong. By the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, because of the chaos in China again, it once eroded to the Liaohe River, including the later Changchun and Shenyang, all of which were encroached into
Go. Later, the court quelled the rebellion and took back all these areas. There were not many Han people west of Yalujiang now, but they were considered safe. However, there was no peace in the east. There were rebellions every year. With Silla's support, the court's attitude had always made him not very clear. Either he simply threw it away and ignored it. Just like he could actually control more areas to surrender, Li Wei still gave up in the face of the huge temptation of Kaijiang.
It’s not that I don’t want to think about it, but it’s not that I have possessed it. After taking it, I have to defend it, whether it’s worth it or not.
This is one way, and another way, spend some manpower and material resources to simply destroy Silla. Strictly speaking, many of the people in this area are descendants of Yan and Huang. Of course, Li Wei will not regard them as his compatriots. Even if he has some blood relationships, he is still a group of people who forget the clan and lose their ancestors. He has to admire their resilience. With Silla and secretly supporting him, he cannot be safe.
The court also acquiesced to Silla's existence, but was unwilling to give up the territory east of Yalu River, so it fought every year.
Even Li Wei wondered if this was a tactic of the Silla people. He was annoyed and the court was not interested, so he had to give up. Once he gave up, Silla would just embezzle and grow stronger.
Of course, this was a small battle, at least not comparable to this great victory in the southwest of the imperial court. The reason why the governor of Yizhou was told was something that happened later. When Li Jinxing sent troops, the *** people came up with a vicious plan to seduce more than 10,000 soldiers from the Marines to attack Li Jinxing’s important base in the *** area. They were all Marines, but Marines, like Nanzhao, were not a tribe. Some were loyal to the Tang Dynasty, some were hostile to the Tang Dynasty, and some were sometimes loyal to the Tang Dynasty, which was very complicated.
Once the city of Danu was lost, Li Jinxing was cut off by the Marx people. But at this time, a feat came out. There were less than a thousand defenders in the city, and there was another person. Li Jinxing's wife Liu, facing more than ten times the enemy, was calm and calm. He led his soldiers to defend the city and repel the enemy's attacks many times. Seeing that he had worked hard for a long time, he was shot dead and captured. Just a woman, after reporting to the court, the court issued an order to commend his merits and named him the wife of Yan. Because the war broke out, the mansion also arrived in Yizhou.
Li Wei and Pei Xingjian looked at each other. Although it was a false title, the woman's reward was the same as a man's reward. The country was used as a title, and there were only important relatives or royal families, such as Wu Zetian's mother, Mrs. Rongguo, and Mrs. Weiguo, the younger sister of Helan Minzhi. Even important officials such as Liu Rengui were afraid to imagine.
Not easy.
It can be rewarded too much.
But my father is the emperor, and even if he is granted the title of wives of ten countries, he dare not object.
After trekking all the way, I was a little tired and took a break in Yizhou. At night, Yao Yuanchong came in. He was also a meritorious person in this journey. He shot three rebels in the battle in Yaozhou. Of course, he was just the leader, and he made very little contributions. He did not expect this fame and fortune, and he was thinking about the scientific examination. He entered the officialdom through the right path.
Li Wei patted Hu's bed and said, "Sit."
