In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the climate in the north became increasingly cold.
Five hundred years have passed. In central Jizhou and central Bingzhou, it was possible to grow two crops of wheat. Now it can only be done by rushing to plant, and the yield per mu is still gradually declining.
There was land in the Wu Dynasty, and there was no shortage of acres. However, the good acres had long been divided up. The middle fields were turned into pastures, and the lower fields were simply abandoned.
The Nakata that has been turned into pasture can definitely be used, but it will require time and money.
Different national conditions require different approaches.
A large sum of money could not be spent at once, and no one was cultivating the reclaimed land. Even if they wanted to avoid being cut with blunt knives, what could the Wu Dynasty do?
No choice, let's just do it, but I never thought that the Song people would be so ambitious and wanted to artificially cause disasters in the Wu Dynasty.
"Song people and Wu people are both Han people, but their diets are different. The Wu Dynasty was short of food and meat. But in terms of per capita consumption, our meat sources and consumption are far more than those of the Song people. Even the poor and the refugees, how much do we need every month?" We can all get some offal, which is something the other five countries don’t have!”
The Liao people had no shortage of meat, but they did not reward slaves with offal.
"There are also winter clothes. A leather jacket has been passed down for three generations. Can I wear cloth clothes or linen clothes?"
"cannot!"
"Therefore, immigrants cannot move beyond Tai'an City as far north as possible, and can only be distributed in the central areas of Jizhou and Bingzhou!"
Immigration is difficult. The difficulty lies in how people come, and even more difficult is where to place them.
Resettlement is not just about throwing people into the open space. All factors must be considered.
What can guide and radiate thinking, and what can't, needs to be determined. Equation has an idea in his mind. After all, he also finds it troublesome.
"Having said that, the problem is that all the good places are already owned, especially the central area far away from the border. They have always been occupied by nobles, and the areas occupied by the Wu family cannot be distinguished at all!" Li Yannian said with a headache.
"Yeah?"
Li Yanting blinked, "Isn't it?"
"You guys are eating as much of the good stuff as you can. You only focus on the flat land and forget that there are terraced fields. There won't be too many people migrating in the early days. You can lead them to the mountains!"
"In the same mountain, warriors practiced martial arts and liked hunting, so they saw prey at the foot of the mountain. But in the eyes of Song people, they saw wasted forest land. As you have said before, the poor people in the Song Dynasty were under great pressure to survive. Big, you can do anything to eat, and we will have the same idea in the short term after coming!”
"What's more important is that we are not short of cattle. We can provide more forest land, and then give each household a working cattle. If the government comes forward and rents one at a low price, the terraced fields will be cultivated soon!"
"Another advantage of doing this is that it is dispersed. One slope is allocated to one family. It seems that the distance between households is only a few miles, but in fact it takes more than half a day to walk. In order to plant people, they will not live together together, and the time I’ve grown up, clan elders, clan rules, how many are left?”
Wu Dynasty had its own shortcomings and naturally had advantages that other countries did not have.
There is a shortage of livestock in the Central Plains. Stallions cannot be sold even if they are beaten to death. If they are sold, they are subsidizing the enemy. But arable cattle can be used. Even if they cannot be sold, they can be skinned and chopped. The meat is eaten and the skins are made into leather. You will not lose money on either side. .
"What do you mean, we can still build a breeding farm in the north?" Li Yannian put down his teacup.
Farm cattle and grassland cattle are both cattle, but because they lack the step of domestication, they cannot be directly converted. This is like war horses. Horses are both horses, but the levels are different.
"Why not?" Fang Fang spread his hands, "Not only is this possible, but we can also do it on a larger scale. As long as we don't overdo it and cause supply to exceed demand, we can dig deeper. Anyway, nowadays, people who raise cattle are far more powerful than those who raise horses. many!"
Agriculture and animal husbandry are low-end industries, but they are fundamental industries. In this area, Wu Dynasty missed too many classes and there is huge room for growth. The central region can start it, but it is completely impossible to continue to focus on animal husbandry in the north.
"The more people there are, the more output there will be, and the demand will be greater in all aspects. This needs to be promoted step by step, but it is best to do our homework before promoting it. Talking is useless. It is better to find more information and some agricultural aspects. Experts, verify what I said!”
The equations are not grounded, and the Li brothers are only a little better than him, so all they talk about now is empty.
"Before we look for someone to verify it, why don't we go to the bus department once?" Li Yanting suggested, "Don't the conditions of the bus service satisfy what you proposed, sir? I really don't know how to farm when I give birth to a girl, but there is no shortage of fertile land at the foot of the mountain. I have seen the bus service After receiving it, if you have a problem, you can solve it. If you can’t solve it, you can find someone else. Isn’t it better than what you are dreaming about now?”
Hearing this, Fang Fang laughed, and so did Li Yannian. This was indeed a good idea.
Li Yannian's eyes burned brightly, "You can give it a try now with the bus leader, and you won't have time until next autumn's harvest!"
Nowadays, Wu Dynasty must be the first team, but there is still a long time before the real end.
"Okay, it just so happens that during this period, I feel uncomfortable staying at home, so I might as well go out for a walk!"
It has been almost a month since the winter hunting ended, and Shang Zhong has also been busy in Daba Ling for twenty years. As the new lord, it is indeed time for Fang Fang to come forward.
"Then I'll notify Xiaohu, contact Shang Zhong, and then contact several agricultural experts to try to set off as soon as possible!"
There is nothing more exciting than the end of empty talk and being able to directly enter into practice. Li Yannian directly took over the matter.
"Everyone definitely wants agronomy, but it's best to find some planting experts!" Fang Fang suggested.
Everyone is an expert.
Fang Fang was really unsure about the nature of the urine of Wu Dynasty experts, which was limited by the influence of past lives.
Either you don't do something, or you have to do it solidly. When it comes to agriculture, he trusts farmers who have been involved in farming all year round.
…
In Fengluan Hall, the empress lay on the pillow tiredly.
The body is not tired, but the mind is tired!
The requirements of the Ming Dynasty mission were within the expectations of the equation, and those that were not drawn out by the equation. Before the meeting, the officials and the Document Department also gave plans and responses.
all hit!
But the empress still felt uneasy.
Ming Dynasty will not mention the issue of the next team, Wu Dynasty will also end it for its own needs.
The outcome does not mean direct openness, it may also be a confrontation. In the battle between major powers, the attitude of the allies is more critical than the actual actions.
The Ming Dynasty's wave was mainly a test to find out the Ming Dynasty's attitude towards the covenant, and did not propose the idea of direct action. This is a good thing for both parties.
But a piece of food cannot make people feel at ease after all.
When borrowing money from the private sector, the person being borrowed is the uncle, but when the money is repaid, the person being borrowed is the grandson.
The empress is not afraid that the Ming Dynasty will not repay it. Even if there is no covenant, borrowing money without repaying it will definitely damage the reputation of a country.
Lianghuai was fired, which was very embarrassing. Seven points of shame were lost at home, and three points were lost at home.
But if word spread about the unrequited relationship, Wu Chao would certainly be laughed at, but it would be difficult to regain the face Ming Chao had lost.
The problem today is that the Ming Dynasty borrowed too much!
Within two months, the Ming Dynasty asked for one million stones, and from the beginning of spring to the summer harvest, the Ming Dynasty also asked the Wu Dynasty to transport two million stones down the canal.
