As a result, some arable land cannot be cultivated. Although people are always reluctant to leave the land empty and always want to plant something, but how to plant the land that cannot be harvested?
Li Ke couldn't help but think of his childhood. Taking his own experience as an example, his family planted more than 50 acres, close to 60 acres, and there were even more than 100 acres in the village, but there was a prerequisite for all this.
That is, they do not all grow food.
Li Ke's hometown in the Hetao Plain uses wheat as the main food and does not grow rice. However, their family has more than 50 acres of land and only has a dozen acres of wheat. Then there are the three main cash crops: corn, sunflower, and seed melon.
Different crops mean that the farming time is staggered, which is why when Li Ke was a child, he remembered that his parents started from spring plowing and were busy until the autumn harvest at the end of October, tilling the land and watering for the last time before taking a complete rest.
But if more than 50 acres are planted with wheat, it can actually be planted. Modern columbists can sow seeds very quickly every day. The problem is that the Tang Dynasty cannot popularize modern columbines! Not to mention modern columbists, even the ancient columbists handed down from the Han Dynasty cannot be popularized.
This is the biggest fundamental problem! Quyuan plow is not popular yet!
The problem of animal power is a headache... It stands to reason that after so many years, the people have not been ignorant of the importance of animal power, but the reason why it is still not popularized is simple. Natural disasters occur every now and then, and people cannot survive. The fate of these livestock can be imagined.
Therefore, livestock will be exterminated every certain number of years, and trying to recover... is so difficult.
Hey, maybe the butt determines the head. To be honest, when Li Ke didn't supervise the country before, he didn't think too much about these issues. Now that he is supervising the country, he realizes that this thing... the ancient emperors, if they were a little more responsible, really It’s really not easy to be a good person.
Natural disasters in ancient times were really not that easy to survive. No wonder some people rebelled during disaster years in ancient times. Isn’t this nonsense? I can't live anymore, and even if the disaster year is over, if I come back next year, I will have eaten everything I need to eat, so how can I farm?
We can't let them go to the mountains to catch some deer to plow the fields, right? It's not impossible...but never mind, this is just a joke.
A stable source of food is so important! At least in disaster years, food can be mobilized as soon as possible. It doesn't matter if the people don't get the income. As long as they don't kill all the livestock because of hunger, there is a chance of recovery.
The probability of being hit by disasters year after year is not high, and it is also unlikely that the entire country will be hit by disasters year after year. With a stable source of food, it can be stable.
Hey, Old Yuan is immortal.
The map of Southeast Asia appeared in Li Ke's mind, and Hu Zhi's previous words came to mind again.
Damn, the importance of winning Linyi and Zhenwa is too great. This is greater than the black land in the Northeast. After all, the black land in the Northeast is bitterly cold. It is too difficult to completely transform that place into a granary. The main reason is that the population cannot increase, but Linyi and Zhenwa are much better if they are cooked three times a year.
Of course, Li Ke now has Tudou, which can be considered a big killer, but a multi-pronged approach is naturally the best.
In addition, Li Ke also thought of a way.
oops! So annoying!
Why do I think about these things? I always feel like something is growing out of my head.
Li Ke was a little depressed. Didn't I come here just for fun? Why do you think about this? It’s all Li Tai’s fault!
If I don't supervise the country, what can I think about these things? !
I'm furious!
"Tian Meng!"
"Your Highness."
"Prepare your horse, I want to enter the palace!" Li Ke said fiercely.
"Yes!" Tian Meng was a little confused as to why His Highness was angry again, but of course he didn't dare to ask this. The only thing is to prepare horses for Li Ke as soon as possible.
Soon, Li Ke angrily rushed towards Chang'an City with a group of guards.
Li Chengqian naturally knew about Li Ke's big move. "Didn't... Sanlang just came back? Why did he leave again?" Crown Princess Su asked strangely.
"I don't know, but I probably thought of something again." Li Chengqian shook his head.
"Then... Sanlang is gone, wouldn't it be a good idea for us to stay?" Su said in a low voice.
"What's wrong? I'll send someone to send a message to the palace. Li Ke will supervise the country. If he feels uncomfortable living in Liangyi Palace, let him live in the East Palace. It's close to the palace. It's also convenient." Li Chengqian waved his hand and said.
Su: "..."
"I live in his Qinwangzhuang, and he lives in the East Palace. This is very reasonable and fair. Is there any inconvenience? It's good." Li Chengqian added, "I'll call someone."
Su was speechless. She couldn't tell what was wrong, but she always felt something was wrong.
Forget it, she doesn’t understand the things about men, but it’s really comfortable to live here with Sanlang, mainly because the food he eats every day is really good. Although the cook in the East Palace also learned from Sanlang, he always feels that something is missing. .
Arriving at the palace, Li Ke rode his horse towards the Liangyi Palace. When passing by the imperial city, he passed by the Yamen. Many people saw it. Seeing Li Ke's actions, everyone was a little agitated. He was so confused that he dared to ride his horse in the palace. Did His Highness the King of Qin want to be beaten again?
Just...forget it, what does it have to do with them.
When they arrived at Liangyi Hall, Li Ke stood directly outside and shouted: "Li Tai, come out, I want to test your martial arts!"
Li Tai, who was sitting in the main hall and was struggling, jumped up when he heard the voice: "Third brother, I'm here."
Chang Lin: "..."
Li Tai, who rushed out from the door of Liangyi Palace, stumbled before he could see clearly where Li Ke was outside. He was tripped over by Li Ke. Then his third brother rode directly on him without any sense of martial ethics. An old punch fell on him.
"Ah..." Li Tai screamed, and while resisting vigorously, he said: "Third brother, you don't follow martial ethics, you attack me sneakily!"
"A soldier never tires of deceit! How did you learn the art of war?" Li Ke retorted, but did not relax his hands.
A quarter of an hour later, Li Tai got up from the ground panting and looked at Li Ke with a resentful look: "Third brother... why are you so harsh? Am I not your dearest brother?"
"Get out! Get out and continue reviewing the memorials." Li Ke kicked him directly, "You still have the nerve to say that? You are so angry with me! When I go back today, the more I think about the bad things in the Tang Dynasty, the more bad things happen in the Tang Dynasty. , the more tired I become, if I were not afraid of beating you too hard and no one would review the memorials and stare at Liangyi Hall, you would have to go home and lie down today."
Li Tai: "..."
Seeing the angry look on the third brother's face, Li Tai shrank his head, as if... what trouble did the third brother think of again? Um...you can't blame him, he just said it casually, who asked dad to take action?
"I'm going to see the memorial." Li Tai limped directly to Liangyi Hall. It was too scary, so he ran away quickly.
Li Tai didn't care about this little skin injury, because, hey, his third brother had just been punched in the face by him. Although it wasn't serious, it was still a little swollen.
