"I know how difficult it is for people to farm the land. Who knows that every grain of food on the plate is hard work." Han Du nodded and continued: "And not only that, I still know that if there are no accidents in the yield of the land, It should range from rich to poor, and gradually reduce production.”
Hearing that the yield of the land would gradually decrease, even Lao Zhu was not calm now. The sharp light in his eyes flashed away, and he asked in a deep voice: "Is what you said true?"
Han Du spread his hands and sighed helplessly: "Of course it is true."
Tang He, who was on the side, stared at Han Du with a serious face and said sternly: "Boy, don't talk nonsense. I also know about farming, how come I haven't seen the yield of the fields decrease?"
Tang He's intention was not to refute Han Du, but to protect Han Du. If Han Du really spoke freely, the emperor would not punish Han Du too severely even if he saw that he had already reprimanded Han Du.
It's a pity that Han Du didn't realize Tang He's kindness, but what Han Du said was true, without any adulteration.
Seeing that Han Du was indifferent, Tang He wanted to remind him again, but the emperor waved his words back.
"Keep talking." Lao Zhu said to Handu.
Han Du explained: "Duke Xin Guo didn't notice it because the time was too short and he couldn't notice it. Such silent changes in moisturizing things can't be noticed by people without hundreds of years." of."
After thinking about it, Han Du gave an example, "Take the Henan Chengxuan political envoy as an example. Thousands of years ago, it was a fertile land in the Central Plains, a rich place. But what about now? Haha, I'm afraid it is I can’t even get into the top ten in the Ming Dynasty.”
After Han Du finished speaking, everyone fell into deep thought. They are all people who are familiar with history books. Several of them have read the records of the prosperity of the Central Plains. But now it has indeed become ordinary. Is this really the reason why the land will become barren as Han Du said?
Han Du was not the first to propose the transformation of the Central Plains. In the past, people used to explain this phenomenon by the transfer of destiny and the movement of dragon energy.
Lao Zhu thought of a more important point. If it was the transfer of destiny and the movement of dragon energy as the predecessors thought, that would be fine, because no matter how the destiny was transferred or the dragon energy was moved, it would all be in the land of the Ming Dynasty. What's great is that some are richer and some are poorer. Looking at the Ming Dynasty as a whole, the meat is still rotten in the pot.
But if Han Du said that the land would become more and more barren, that would be a disaster. Does that mean that the now fertile land of the few imperial envoys around the capital will become the same as the Central Plains in thousands of years? In this case, wouldn’t the Ming Dynasty...
Don't look at what Lao Zhu said in the past, "There has never been a dynasty that lasted forever. If the Ming Dynasty could catch up with the Han Dynasty and last for four hundred years, he would be satisfied."
In fact, in the eyes of the founding emperor, who doesn't want the dynasty he founded to be king for three generations and for eternity?
"What can you do?" Lao Zhu's tone was calm, but his inner energy stirred up a storm. But even if he was the emperor, facing this natural way, he had no other choice but to kick the ball to Han Du.
Who asked him to pierce the window paper? Since Han Du has the ability to break it, in Lao Zhu's opinion, Han Du should have the ability to hide it again.
The land is gradually becoming barren. How to solve this problem, Han Du naturally has a solution. It is nothing more than adding various microbial fertilizers, or adding various elements that are beneficial to plant growth and absorption.
But in this era, without relevant industrial industries, Handu was helpless.
However, Lao Zhu's purpose is not to let Han Du solve the problem of land impoverishment. His main purpose is actually to let Han Du solve the people's "food" problem.
Han Du naturally has an idea about this.
"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, people who rely on mountains and mountains rely on water to eat. Since the output of the land is not enough to eat, people will naturally go into the mountains and forests to hunt live animals for food, and some people will go into the water to fish. If you eat one more bite of meat, you will eat three less meals. Five mouthfuls of food. Since both mountains and water are the same road, why can’t the sea be the same road? The sea is boundless, and its area is much wider than the land. And there are many kinds of fish and seafood in the sea, most of which can be Food. As far as Wei Chen knows, there is a swollen sea south of Qiongzhou, and it is said that there are so many fish in it that it is shocking. It is said that half of it is water and half of it is fish. "
Tang He sneered when he heard this, "Boy, you've never been to the sea, right?"
Han Du was silent. He had never been to the sea. In my previous life, I only went to the beach to play, but playing at the beach and taking a boat to the sea are completely different.
Tang He raised a finger and said, "First of all, the waves on the sea are huge and the weather is unpredictable. The only disadvantage is that the ship will be destroyed and people will be killed. The Sea Dragon King eats people. That's not just a casual talk. It really wants to eat." Secondly, there are Japanese pirates on the sea. You don’t think that Japanese pirates will just watch people fishing and do nothing, right? Thirdly, I know about the rising sea you mentioned, but it is really too far away. , beyond the reach of the whip."
Lao Zhu remained silent on the sidelines, making it difficult for people to guess his attitude. I just saw him looking at Han Du with great interest.
Han Du lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said: "There are Japanese pirates intruding on the sea, which is naturally a trouble. But I don't think that Japanese pirates can stop the Ming Dynasty. Chinese clothes and clothes have been fighting for survival for thousands of years. Because of this, we have gone from a small land in the Central Plains to the vast country of the Ming Dynasty today. The sea is the key to the Ming Dynasty solving the food shortage of the people all over the world, and the mere Japanese pirates have no strength and can be an obstacle to us. "
After hearing this, Tang He and Lao Zhu looked at each other, with smiles in their eyes.
Looking back, Tang He asked seriously: "What about the storm? This is a natural disaster, so what should we do?"
This one is simpler.
Han Du was confident and said: "If a lone boat enters the sea, it will inevitably end up with the ship wrecked and people killed. But the bigger the boat, the better it can resist the wind and waves. In the Southern Song Dynasty, there were thousands of sails competing on the sea. Shouldn't we Can’t the Ming Dynasty still build ships bigger than those of the Southern Song Dynasty?”
After hearing this, Tang He shook his head and said, "The Ming Dynasty certainly had big ships. Let's not talk about whether such a big ship can be sold to the common people. Do you think that an ordinary family can afford such a big ship? If you don’t have a boat, how can you go fishing?”
