"Gu once said that the universe is vast, with the sun at its center and the moon orbiting it. Because the continent we are on revolves around the sun, it has four seasons throughout the year, and the moon revolves around the blue star, which creates the ebb and flow of the climate. The changes are the fundamental reasons that affect agricultural production and life.”
Xu Jingli asked, "Your Highness, I seem to understand something. For example, the temperature in the northwest has increased every year, so the wind and sand have become stronger, resulting in less cultivated land. This may be the reason why Loulan fell."
Xiao Yi said with a smile: "It is true. The right time, place and people are favorable, so talent is the biggest factor that affects the development of a dynasty."
"If the temperature continues to rise, by then, the land in Guanzhong will also become a place full of yellow sand."
"At that time, the cultivated land in Longyou Road will decrease, and the people will move to the southeast. But the territory of the southeast is so large. When there are more people, the requirements for land will increase, and the demand for food will also increase. .”
“But if we don’t have high-quality crops that can achieve high yields, we won’t be able to feed so many people.”
"At this time, in order to survive and have something to eat, people will do anything."
Xu Jingli and others quickly bowed and said, "I have learned a lesson."
Xiao Yi has no plans to return to the capital yet.
Because the Ministry of Water Resources has just been established, it is still in the stage of rectifying the Caobang.
There have been many voices of resistance. Yue Hongling has led the navy to suppress the bandits and suppress the rebellion of the Cao Gang.
At the same time, he has also issued an edict.
A national policy was promulgated.
That is to pay wages to the people in Caogang.
Among them are the Caobang Management Regulations.
Then let those bachelors publicize it at various docks, and let the government officials also publicize this management regulation.
The purpose is to enable the trackers on the dock to awaken and have human dignity instead of slaves and coolies.
Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and said slowly: "The cause of the weather is beyond the power of human power. Whether the temperature rises or falls, it is determined by the amount of energy released by the sun."
"Although we can't change the cause of heaven and earth, we can guard against the influence of the cause of heaven and earth."
"For example, establishing protective forests, wind protection and sand fixation."
Another national policy.
The officials were immediately interested.
Xiao Yi naturally knew to what extent the wind and sand in the northwest and north would reach later.
Even in the land of Lingnan, yellow sand can appear all over the sky.
Under the yellow sand.
That was the sadness of an era.
Since then, the air quality has been very poor.
of course.
This is thousands of years later.
But now, there are actually some signs.
Why did Loulan perish?
It was because of the devastating disaster caused by a sandstorm.
If Xiao Yi wants to maintain the Silk Road in the northwest, he must deal with the invasion caused by wind and sand.
However, building a protective forest is not an easy task. Today, Daqian already has too many projects and there are not enough workers.
The construction of the Great Wall in the North.
Official roads in various places were widened and bridges were built to achieve interoperability between county towns.
Then there is the management of the two rivers.
These require workers.
Windbreak and sand fixation can only be done slowly. First, let some people from the Anxi Protectorate Prefecture start planting drought-tolerant trees near the green grassland. First, turn the existing northwest grassland into northwest shrubs, and then slowly Go forward, go forward.
"In addition to establishing protective forests to prevent wind and sand fixation and prevent land desertification from affecting Longyou Road."
“There is one more thing to do, and that is to increase the yield per acre.”
"If the yield per acre increases, the harvest per acre will be higher than before, and it can feed several more people."
"Then we don't have to worry about temperature changes, which will reduce the amount of arable land and lead to a lack of food."
"Gu Ye thought of two methods, one is called: five simple methods of making soil fertilizer, and the other is: twenty-eight combinations of crop rotation and interplanting."
Promote agricultural books.
Although he has never seen Qi Min Yao Shu, he grew up in the countryside.
In addition, when I had nothing to do afterwards, I saw a lot of posts on the forum.
They all talk about what you can do if you travel to ancient times. Some of them are thought-provoking, while others have become popular science posts.
Fortunately, Xiao Yi can still remember a lot now. He knows how to make soil fertilizer, and he also knows that in a good field, crops can be rotated and interplanted throughout the year.
Especially in the southeast, three crops of rice can be achieved.
Plant three times a year and harvest three times a year.
This is much better than farming once a year and having to wait for God to give you food.
Naturally, soil chemical fertilizers are less effective than industrial chemical fertilizers, but in this era, soil chemical fertilizers are definitely the strongest magic weapon to increase yield per mu.
Another one is to solve the problem of saline-alkali land.
If the problem of saline-alkali land can be solved, it will naturally increase Daqian's harvest by three or four times.
The method of making soil-based fertilizers and the idea of crop rotation and intercropping that Xiao Yi wrote during this period were also given directly to Xu Guangqi of the Agriculture Department.
This person can be considered an agricultural expert, and he himself studied agricultural books. Because of his professional insights and knowledge of agriculture, he was promoted to an official in the Department of Agriculture. Later, he wrote basic agricultural books, which was appreciated by Xiao Di. , became Sizheng of Si Nong Division.
This man also lived up to Xiao Yi's expectations.
In those days, greenhouses, later grafting, hybrid rice, etc., the research on agriculture, along with the various viewpoints, principles, etc. that Xiao Yi put forward from his previous life, also improved to a great level.
Xu Jingli and other officials saw these two books. After reading them, they praised them again and again.
This is not flattery.
The more I listened to His Highness the Crown Prince's explanation, the more I felt how knowledgeable His Highness the Crown Prince was, and the more I felt that I was short-sighted.
Xiao Yi continued to talk, slowly stating many concepts of later generations, so that these officials could broaden their horizons.
In fact, his purpose in doing this was to brainwash him.
This sounds awkward, but at this stage, it is the best choice and the best route.
Xiao Yi is the Prince of the Supervisory State of Da Qian. In a practical sense, he is the ninth and fifth emperor of Da Qian. A single sentence can directly determine life or death.
This kind of authority can be said to have reached its peak.
It is precisely because of this that he set up small classes to teach officials about the theory of making the country rich, making the people rich and the country strong, enlightening the people's wisdom, asking questions about politics in the southeast, and so on.
What's the purpose of doing this?
It's just brainwashing.
Let the managers change their past ideas of governing the country. The emphasis is no longer on the struggle for power or the position of minister, but on how to build the prosperous age in the great blueprint.
It can only be said that Xiao Yi has already described an unprecedented prosperous era from the beginning.
Then use this prosperous age to stabilize people's hearts, and then use this knowledge to flush their brains.
have a look.
From the time he supervised the country until now, there has never been a case where someone formed a gang and framed an official for the sake of the position of minister.
Of course, it also has something to do with Xiao Yi's trusting attitude towards the six ministers and the ministers of the nine temples.
Many officials also know how much His Highness the Crown Prince trusts these six ministers.
Ordinary false accusations would not be able to dislodge the Six Ministers from their position as ministers, and might even endanger oneself.
…
October 28, Chang'an City.
The officials of the capital, as well as several beauties in the East Palace, as well as the people of Chang'an, the capital, are all looking forward to the prince.
Under the auspices of officials from the Ministry of Rites, the day finally came for the Prince of the Prison State to return to Beijing.
All the officials and people in Chang'an City were looking up with excitement, wanting to see the power of the Crown Prince who was praised by everyone.
Hundreds of civil and military officials headed outside the city in a mighty manner.
Waiting for their supervisory prince to return from the southeast to inquire about politics.
At this moment, flags were ringing all around outside Chang'an City, and there were guards wearing armor and holding soldiers with their heads high and their solemn and majestic expressions unable to conceal their excitement.
Just a moment.
As the scouts came to report, the chariot of the Prince of Daqianjian came into view.
There is not such a luxurious lineup, and there are not that many thousands of people following. There are thousands of eunuchs, maids, etc. accompanying them.
A simple three thousand cavalry, plus the prince's chariot.
The team stopped in front of Chang'an City. Xiao Yi, dressed in gold armor, stood on his horse and said loudly: "This time I asked the southeast for political affairs, I gained a lot. I also vigorously rectified the officials in the southeast, rectified the corrupt officials, and restored peace to the southeast." , to bring justice to all the people in the southeast, and to give Daqian an opportunity to prosper. What I wish for is to live in a prosperous age together with the tens of millions of people in Daqian."
The sound was loud and loud, and could be heard far, far away outside the city.
Most of the civil and military officials, traders and soldiers, and the people watching could hear it and were moved by it.
This is the sound of prosperity.
For a moment, there was a roar outside Chang'an City. The people were shouting and the civil and military officials were praising him.
All the people rejoiced.
Xiao Yi entered Chang'an City amidst the joy.
After that, he took the six ministers, the ministers of the nine temples, etc. to the Ganlu Hall and met with Xiao Di.
This frail old man now has a skinny face, but his eyes are bright.
Listen to Xiao Yi briefly describe what he has gained from this southeast political inquiry, and the plan to control floods in the two rivers.
Coughed a few times.
"Ahem, I'm very relieved that you did a good job."
"Having a crown prince like you in Daqian is a blessing to the country, officials, and people of Daqian."
"The Xiao family is lucky to have a prince like you."
"When I see my father in the future, I will be able to talk to him proudly."
All the time.
Xiao Di was always worried about the fact that his father was passed down to the emperor's grandson instead of to him, a prince who had made great contributions to the Great Qian Dynasty.
Later, the emperor's grandson also behaved like a coward.
He took this position out of necessity.
He also knew that this would definitely be a stain, but he was not afraid and didn't care.
Without him, Daqian would surely have perished due to the emperor's grandson's reckless behavior.
He is worthy of his ancestors and worthy of Daqian.
Now, seeing Xiao Yi as wise and powerful, even if he dies, he can rest in peace.
The dissatisfaction due to the inheritance of the throne can now be almost relieved, and from now on, it will never be mentioned again.
Because it's simply not worth it.
Xiao Yi is naturally humble and respectful, and plays the role well.
