Wu Nian smiled and asked him to get up, and then talked to him about many things.
For example, when planting trees, the most important thing is which tree species to choose. It must be drought tolerant and easy to grow. Don’t plant blindly, which consumes energy and water resources.
Also, the same kind of trees cannot be planted in the same area.
Different trees need to be planted, lest a disease or insect infestation wipes out the whole army.
For example, clearing roads not only allows people to walk, but also serves as fire breaks. To prevent a wildfire from breaking out and wiping out the entire army.
There are other things like publicity work. For example, when worshiping ancestors during the Qingming Festival, pay attention to the use of fire and candles.
etc.
These opinions put forward by Wu Nian are simply standing on the shoulders of giants and following the methods of modern society.
But when it fell on Shi Xian's ears, he was shocked. His Majesty the Emperor is the true Emperor.
Know everything.
People only know that he is the founding emperor and the immediate emperor. But I don't know how much contribution he made to the Han Dynasty.
Wu Nian's Luan Yu returned to Taiyuan City, but Sun Tinghe, Sun Huchen and others did not return to Shanxi immediately.
Officials will provide them with certain education.
In addition, they will also participate in a sacrifice with Wu Nian.
The sacrifice is made to one of the ancestral gods of China.
Dayu.
Guan Yu, the number one god in Shanxi.
As this time the Mianjun came to an end, news about how Wu Nian managed the Yellow River and the Loess Plateau spread, causing huge waves in Shanxi.
In the city.
Scholar Liu Minzhi was wearing loose clothes and doing Tai Chi in the yard. He had been weak since he was a child, and his family was afraid that he would die early, so they hired a boxer from Wudang Mountain to practice internal boxing.
Years of practice have made him very powerful.
Suddenly, Liu Minzhi heard the sound of rapid footsteps. He stopped his martial arts and turned around to look, and saw his friend Zhang Kuang rushing in, panting.
"What's so urgent?" Liu Minzhi asked curiously, looking at the maid holding the kettle next to him.
The maid understood, poured a bowl of water and handed it to Zhang Kuang.
Zhang Kuang reached out and took the water bowl, drank it down in a slurping manner, and rested for a while before his breathing calmed down.
"Brother, don't do Tai Chi. Something big has happened. The emperor is not just talking, nor is he trying to make a big deal. He really has a strategy and a planned plan to control the Yellow River and the Loess Plateau."
"The emperor will become a saint."
Although Zhang Kuang's breath calmed down, he was very excited and his face turned red.
Liu Minzhi's eyes flashed, and he couldn't sit still. He took Zhang Kuang's hand and sat down on a chair nearby. He couldn't wait to ask: "Brother Xian, tell me what's going on."
"Yes." Zhang Kuang nodded heavily and told Liu Minzhi exactly what he heard.
Liu Minzhi was also stunned after hearing this.
Originally, the two brothers thought that it was impossible for Wu Nian to cure the Yellow River and Loess Plateau.
But I admire Wu Nian's ambition very much.
We are not afraid that the emperor will not do things, but we are afraid that the emperor will occupy the latrine and not shit. As long as we are serious about regulating the Yellow River, we can make it clear even if we cannot make it clear.
It can also dredge rivers and strengthen embankments. Slightly tame the Yellow River and save the people along the Yellow River from floods.
That is a great merit.
He is definitely a good emperor and a good emperor.
it's good now. Wu Nian really came up with strategies and plans. Moreover, the state will provide money and materials to fully help Shanxi.
Liu Minzhi's breathing became rapid, his face flushed and he said: "Your Majesty, you are truly a saint."
"Holy Lord."
"The Yellow River is clear, and the saints emerge."
"Your Majesty is a holy king."
Liu Minzhi stood up excitedly and spoke a little incoherently.
Zhang Kuang nodded repeatedly. After a while, the two brothers calmed down a bit. Zhang Kuang raised his hand and cupped his fist at Liu Minzhi and said, "Brother, I don't plan to take the imperial examination anymore."
"Now the imperial court needs a lot of river officials and mountain officials. I plan to become an official directly. I want to contribute to the management of the Yellow River and the Loess Plateau."
Liu Minzhi was stunned for a moment. When he heard this, the river official and the mountain official knew that he was a miscellaneous official. Not as good as officials with formal imperial examination background.
It's hard work.
After a while, pride surged in his heart. He nodded and said: "Good brother, you have great ambitions. We brothers are united and our strength is as sharp as gold."
"I'll go with you."
"It's like what the emperor said. The Loess Plateau. Green mountains connect green mountains. We can't see it anymore, but our descendants will definitely be able to see it. We must see it."
The two brothers looked at each other and laughed. Then, Liu Minzhi didn't say anything and immediately asked the kitchen to prepare food and wine.
The two brothers ate and drank, changing glasses.
Congratulations to Shanxi.
Their brothers are just a microcosm of Shanxi. Countless people were so excited that they couldn't sleep at night.
The prestige of the Han Dynasty in Shanxi further improved and reached unprecedented heights.
In such a situation. The work of Shanxi Governor Shi Xian was spread. Through secret investigation, he determined the list of poor villages.
Distribute hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile farmland on the plains to these poor people.
When the news came out, there was an uproar.
Wu Nian's kindness was unprecedented.
His prestige further increased.
The related issues of migrant population are also unfolding. The next year and the third son of some mountain village families responded to the government's call and went to the Sanhan area to cultivate land.
The credit of the Nian of Wu and the Han Dynasty was strong enough.
If it were another dynasty. It is said that people migrated to the frontier to reclaim land. That's probably "the people fleeing", let's talk about it after they escape.
Even sparked a rebellion.
But as Wu Nian's prestige increased, the credibility of the Han Dynasty was strong enough. The people of Shanxi have never been to the Sanhan area and only know that it is a bitter and cold place.
But they believe that the Sanhan area has fertile land, good mountains and good water, and is good except for being a little colder.
We also believe in the government’s promise to distribute seeds, rations, and cattle for farming.
With large numbers of mountain people migrating down the mountains, the work of returning farmland to forest has a foundation to start.
There are too many people in the mountains, and they blindly return farmland to forests. How can people survive?
It is also difficult to carry out various tasks.
The whole of Shanxi was boiling like water in a hot pot. Regardless of officials, common people, gentry, all walks of life.
There is a lot of enthusiasm for returning farmland to forest.
Men, women, old and young went into battle together.
Control the Yellow River and control the Loess Plateau.
In the midst of this heat.
Wu Nian ushered in his last job in Shanxi.
The emperor.
Just grasp the general direction and leave the details to the professionals below. Much better than him giving random orders.
He was relieved to hand over Shanxi to Shi Xian.
And one of the most important jobs of the emperor.
It’s a sacrifice.
The first person to regulate the Yellow River.
Dayu, one of the ancestral gods of China.
The patron saint of Shanxi, Guan Yu.
Wu Nian put these two people together, built a magnificent temple, and performed sacrifices. As the beginning of the work of returning farmland to forest.
On the day of the sacrifice.
He will also plant an elm tree.
