Chapter 45: Happiness
The family ceremony and bride price, Zhuge Tianming gave a lot, compared with the standard of the emperor of Yan State to marry the queen, plus more than thirty percent. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Moreover, every gift was personally selected by him.
The gold and silver in the bride price were converted into silver, as high as 200,000 taels of silver; All the gifts, converted into silver, were as much as a hundred thousand taels. This does not include the jewelry prepared for Yun Lan, as well as the cost of clothes, shoes and socks. Together, these are worth more than 200,000 taels of silver.
Yun Lan's dowry also blinded the eyes of the world.
Yunjia kiln factory, brewing workshop, and textile factory all have Yunlan Yicheng's shares, which are all Yunlan's dowry. In addition, Yunlan also bought 1,000 acres of saline-alkali land, and hundreds of acres have been almost managed, all of which have been planted with saline-alkali tolerant crops such as sorghum, sunflowers and pastures.
The territory of Qi is mainly composed of three types of terrain: saline-alkali land, loess plateau, and river valley plain. The river valley plain, also known as the Changhe Plain, is next to the Loess Plateau and is also the seat of the royal palace. The Loess Plateau is further past the saline-alkali land, which is also close to the northwest border of the Hu people. The Loess Plateau is about 300 miles away from the border. In the entire northwest, there is about one-tenth of the land area of Yan Kingdom.
And the 1,000 acres of saline-alkali land that Yun Lan bought was next to the Loess Plateau, and a grange was built, called Hope Grange. At the beginning, when Yun Lan bought the 1,000 acres of saline-alkali land, Zhuge Tianming followed and divided a large piece of land next to Hope Grange, which was also thousands of acres, as a new military reclamation farm. This military reclamation farm is called Guangming Military Reclamation Farm.
To be honest, when she first heard the name of this farm, Yun Lan couldn't help but smile and bend over. It's not that it's not good, but I think it's a little funny, Hope Grange, Bright Farm, why is it so characteristic of the times?
In order to control the saline-alkali land, Yun Lan spent a lot of effort and a lot of money. The edge of the saline-alkali land is the real border, connecting the grasslands with the snowy mountains that reach straight into the clouds.
A river that is not big or small, winds away from the foot of the snow-capped mountains.
This river is called Tongtian River by the locals.
It's just that this river, which has a turbulent flow after the beginning of spring, does not pass through the territory of Qi State, but turns a big bay somewhere, and miraculously goes straight to the north, that is, the direction of Yan State, and nourishes the territorial barrage of Yan State adjacent to Qi State.
Barrage, is the name of a county.
Yun Lan quietly took out the explosives, handed them to Zhuge Tianming, and sent someone to blow up the boulder blocking the flow of water at the big bend, leading the river to the direction of Qi State. Zhuge Tianming followed her advice and used a lot of manpower and material resources to dig a north-south river on the vast saline-alkali land.
The purpose is to divert water from the river and wash the saline-alkali land.
Due to the accumulation of a large amount of salt in the soil, saline-alkali land leads to structural stagnation, poor aeration, soil temperature rise, and surface soil salinization. For saline-alkali land, there are several ways to improve: water conservancy improvement, physical and chemical improvement, and ecological management.
Water conservancy improvement can be divided into three steps: 1. For low-lying saline-alkali land, it seems that the salt in the soil can be diluted by digging drainage ditches to discharge surface water; 2. Irrigate and wash the salt to fully dissolve the salt in the soil, and then use the drainage ditch to wash away the salt to reduce the salt content of the soil.
In this step, the first step is to bring down the mountain snow.
In addition, green manure can be planted to reduce the pH of the soil, thereby improving the aeration, permeability and nutrient status of the soil. In fact, this is the so-called chemical improvement.
Physical improvement is also very necessary. Deep ploughing or soil change are good methods.
Ecological management is to select a large number of wild plants that are tolerant to salinity, drought, and barrenness, and have certain economic value, so as to improve the ecological environment of saline-alkali land. Thus, the goal of treating both the symptoms and the root cause can be achieved.
These methods are indispensable and must be multi-pronged.
Undoubtedly, the first three ways require huge labor and material resources, and the cost is really not low.
On saline-alkali land, the forage grasses suitable for planting are: alkali pine, satawang, seed amaranth, alfalfa, grass sorghum, alkali grass, etc.
The yield of seeds and grasses is very high, and all kinds of livestock and poultry like to eat it.
Alkali grass, perennial herb, high-quality forage, can be used for lawn planting and highway slope protection in saline-alkali soil areas.
Satawang, which can be rotated with food crops or planted between forest and fruit rows and on slopes, is a grass species with green manure, forage and soil and water conservation. Satawan is not strict with the soil and has a strong ability to tolerate salinity.
Alfalfa is also suitable for planting in saline-alkali land, alfalfa is known as the "king of forage", not only high yield, but also excellent grass quality, all kinds of livestock and poultry like to eat. Alfalfa, extremely tolerant of drought.
Amaranth is a high-yield crop that is rich in nutrients and grains, feed, vegetables and ornamental. The leaves are soft, the smell is pure, and all kinds of livestock and poultry like to eat. It can be mowed 4-5 times a year, and the annual fresh grass yield can reach 5600-10000 kg/mu. It can be fed green, silage, can also be beaten, fermented and cooked to feed livestock and poultry, strong branch regeneration ability, suitable for multiple mowing, not strict requirements for soil, most suitable for semi-arid, semi-humid areas, but in acidic soil, heavy saline-alkali soil, poor aeolian sand soil and aerated * clay soil can also grow. It has strong drought resistance and low water demand, equivalent to 41.% of wheat and 51.% of corn, which is most suitable for planting on sandy land in semi-arid and semi-humid areas such as Qiguo.
Grass sorghum is a short-day crop that likes heat and is not tolerant to cold. It has strong adaptability, can grow on loamy, sandy, acidic and alkaline soils, and has strong drought resistance, waterlogging resistance, barren resistance and salinity tolerance, and can be planted when it is dry and rainless, dry and hot wind in summer or salinized areas and waterlogged, high dry or low-lying land, and is not suitable for planting other forage crops. In salt-washed land, it can be planted first as a pioneer crop.
Grass sorghum is an annual gramineous forage grass, which can be mowed 2-3 times a year in Northwest China, and the plant regeneration is strong and the growth rate is fast after mowing. High nutritional value. It is a kind of grain, grass and fodder crop. Among the grain crops is a high-yield crop, and the grain is concentrated feed for livestock. Green grass sorghum is tender and green and juicy, sweet and fragrant, good palatability, all kinds of livestock like to eat, can be green fodder, silage, semi-dry silage, can also be dried green hay, or processing grass powder and its grass products. Grass sorghum has a high yield, and sorghum grains are one of the edible grains in addition to domestic and animal concentrates, and can be used to produce starch, and are irreplaceable raw materials for winemaking and alcohol industry. Straw and threshing flower spikes are high-quality materials for broomsticks and weaving.
It can be said that grass sorghum is a treasure all over the body.
Miscanthus grass, like grass sorghum, is drought-tolerant, salinity-tolerant, barren-tolerant, adaptable grass species, simple to plant and manage, can be planted in arid and semi-arid areas, low-lying waterlogging and saline-alkali areas, poor soil mountainous and semi-mountainous areas, help to maintain water and soil. It has low requirements for soil quality and climate, cold resistance, frost resistance, strong adaptability, fast growth, high yield, the highest yield per mu can reach 7.4 tons per year, and the grass production period is as long as 10 to 15 years.
In addition, many salinity-tolerant trees have been planted.
Robinia pseudoacacia is a pioneer tree species for the management of saline-alkali land, and can be planted except for low-lying land with drainage*; Weeping willow, which likes to live in wetlands and watersides, is an important shelterbelt tree species in saline-alkali land; Salix is one of the fast-growing tree species in saline-alkali land, resistant to water and moisture, and can be planted on both sides of rivers and canals and saline-alkali depressions in waterlogged areas. There are also almond, neem, poplar, white elm, paulownia, grape, ginkgo, pear tree, jujube tree, cotton, wolfberry, etc., which can be used as shelter forests, green forests and timber forests, planted in large quantities.
In particular, apricot trees are the most tolerant to salinity, and jujube trees do not have high requirements for soil, except for heavy saline-alkali land, they can be planted. There is also a strange willow, which is cold and barren, highly salt-alkali resistant, can be windproof, sand fixing, berm, and can be planted in any place in saline-alkali land. ,
There are also ash trees, which are extremely vigorous and fast-growing, making them ideal for cultivation in saline soil.
At the beginning, Yun Lan wrote a plan book about this knowledge.
When Zhuge Tianming saw this plan, he was stunned.
Yun Lan, how could she know so much?
After being stunned, he was quickly relieved.
Yun Lan has a secret, he has long been aware of it, but since she is unwilling to say it, it means that the time is not yet right. There will come a day when she will be willing to tell him everything, and he will wait patiently. Be kind to her, be kinder, wait for her to tell herself willingly.
And Yun Lan knows so much, naturally not because she is an "all-rounder", but because the gourd space has been upgraded. In the space, a computer ran out of thin air, you can surf the Internet, you can Baidu, and even you can find "encyclopedias" and various Chinese and foreign classics.
******
In the territory of the Hu people, at the junction with the Qi country, there is an endless lake. Yun Lan sent people to disguise themselves and quietly rode horses along the lake, and the report showed that the area was about 3,000 square kilometers, the grass and water were beautiful, the resources were abundant, and the environment was very good, which was of high strategic significance.
The name of the lake is interesting, it is called Bishui Lake.
Bishui Lake is an inland lake and a saltwater lake, which can be mined for large quantities of lake salt. In the past, this lake originally belonged to the Yan Kingdom, but more than 100 years ago, it was forcibly occupied by the Hu people.
Yun Lan was determined to take back Bishui Lake, but this was not an overnight thing, and it had to be done slowly. Everything, wait for the country and the people to be safe.
Bishui Lake is in the northeast of Qi country, surrounded by towering mountains, about 300 kilometers away from Kyoto of Qi country. There are nearly 20 large and small rivers in the lake area. On the eastern shore of the lake there are two sub-lakes, one with an area of about ten square kilometers and the other with an area of only two square kilometers, both of which are saltwater lakes.
Standing on the shore of Bishui Lake, you can see the green distant mountains, the clear lake, the green grassy beach, and the flock of sheep scattered on the grass like white flowers that can walk. Bishui Lake is surrounded by vast grasslands, the lakeside terrain is open and flat, the water source is abundant, the climate is mild, and it is a natural pasture with abundant water and grass. All year round, there are enchanting landscapes, full of poetry and picturesqueness, which makes people feel refreshed.
Such a beautiful and rich place could not be recovered as soon as possible, and Yun Lan deeply regretted and regretted it.
If a canal can be dug from Bishui Lake to connect the Manghe River, an artificial river in the saline-alkali land, then there is hope that the vast land of the saline-alkali land can be transformed into medium fertile land.
The reason why this artificial river is named Manghe River is because a large amount of miscanthus grass is planted on the embankment to maintain water and soil and stabilize the embankment.
Straight to the point.
What I want to talk about here is Yun Lan's dowry, which is of immeasurable value.
The contribution to the management of saline-alkali land alone is enough to attract the attention of the world.
Her plan, including the imagination of Bishui Lake and the strategic thinking of the Western Regions, has opened a very important window for Zhuge Tianming, pushing his ideology to a new height, allowing him to see the world far, far away.
It was at this moment that he made an extraordinary decision, determined to push the territory of Qi all the way to the west, until he occupied the vast and boundless grassland west of Bishui Lake, as well as the surrounding river valleys and mountains with a radius of hundreds of miles.
Zhuge Tianming was extremely moved, and he was also extremely emotional.
Yun Lan, a strange woman, is completely enough to match the identity of the mother of Qi and a country, and only she can be worthy of this identity!
There are many beautiful women in the world, but in his eyes, he can only see her; In her heart, she can only pretend to be alone.
In the jubilant, warm and simple new house, Zhuge Tianming waved his hand and asked everyone to retreat.
Xi Niang happily led everyone to retreat, carefully and carefully closed the door, Zhuge Tianming stepped forward with an arrow, and simply tightened the bolt of the heavy door and closed the jubilant curtains.
turned around, staring at Yun Lan affectionately, the affection in his eyes was in full swing, full, and it was about to overflow.
"Lan'er, I love you! In this life and this life, I will definitely cherish you and never make you sad again! I will work hard to let you live a happy life, grow old with you, and be harmonious and beautiful! "All affection, including all guilt, is condensed in these words, true feelings.
"Okay, I'll see." Yun Lan also smiled softly.
At this moment, she is also sincere and single-minded to this man who has abandoned her. Very sincerely, I want to love him to the end of my head and build a beautiful, happy and long-term new life with him.
The candles are swaying, the room is charming and warm, and the strong love flows in the air and lasts for a long time......
It was dawn, and Yun Lan, who was used to getting up early, opened her eyes on time at dawn. Perhaps, the amount of exercise last night was too much, and Zhuge Tianming was still in a sweet dream.
Yun Lan lay on her side*, staring affectionately at his handsome and peerless sleeping face, happy, but still a little complicated and unpleasant.
I think that at the beginning, her wedding with him was so simple, and it can even be said to be shabby. On the second day of the wedding, he had to get up early in the morning to serve the jackals, tigers and leopards of the Tang family. A little cold, or a little hot, or a little lighter, a little salty, will incur a very ruthless, even vicious, curse and humiliation.
At the beginning, he bought her the only piece of jewelry, and even gave it to Yun Meili. Now that I think about it, everything is so far away, and it seems to be right in front of me.
The past is unbearable, although there has been a short period of sweetness, but it is more shameful and sad. Yun Lan couldn't help but fall into deep thought, a little distracted, when did Zhuge Tianming wake up, she didn't even notice it.
"Lan'er, good morning! What are you thinking? Zhuge Tianming stretched out his long arm, hugged her into his arms, lowered his head and kissed her a few times, then turned over and pressed her under him. What you want to do, it goes without saying.
Yun Lan glanced at him lightly, and said in an astonishing voice: "Why, after so many years, I almost suffocated, right?" ”
Zhuge Tianming's eyes widened: "......" Lan'er, you are so straightforward, is it really good? Do you know how hard I've endured over the years?
Before you came to the northwest, even if I was drugged, I would rather jump into the icy water to put out the fire than touch other women, because I was afraid that those women harbored evil intentions and were the work of hostile forces. After you came to the northwest, every time I saw you, I couldn't even touch it, and I couldn't sleep at night.
While feeling aggrieved, I kissed it without hesitation......
At three poles in the sun, the two still hugged each other and slept together, and no one dared to break in.
Zhuge Tianming and Yun Lan both gave themselves ten days off, planning to enjoy the happy time of their honeymoon.
******
When there are many people, things will be messy, and it is easy to mix up with fine work.
Yun Lan proposed the establishment of Jinyiwei.
With such a team, no matter how good the fine work is at hiding himself, under the powerful power of Jinyiwei, there will be nowhere to hide. As long as there is a little trace, the people of Jinyi Wei can find out the truth.
and patiently explained to Zhuge Tianming what is called Jinyiwei.
Zhuge Tianming happily agreed: "Very good, just listen to you!" ”
Yun Lan also advised: "The people of Jinyi Wei, the more ordinary the appearance, the better, and people with conspicuous features are not advisable. If you are handsome, you can't ask for it! ”
Zhuge Tianming smiled slightly: "This is nature, you can rest assured!" ”
When Yun Lan heard this, she couldn't help but laugh to herself.
Yes, how could Zhuge Tianming not know about this?
In his previous life, Zhuge Tianming was actually a very good scout, and there were not a few scouts under him. Those people should be ordinary-looking people.
Including the blue shadow and the green shadow, they are not the kind of people who are hard to forget once they meet.
Now that the new country has been established, she has sat in the position of the princess again, and she is also allowed to manage the country together with the prince. Then, in his position, he must seek his own government and must make every effort to govern the country.
Yun Lan sat on the desk for a few days, and then handed over several drafts to Zhuge Tianming.
army, she planned to use five-shot crossbows, bird guns, broadswords, and leather armor as the main equipment,
The Bird Gun, also known as the Arquebus, is a milestone in the history of firearms development and is the direct prototype of the modern rifle, which is based on a burning arquebus to ignite gunpowder. The emergence of the arquebus has also changed the form of warfare, and with the development of the arquebus, human warfare has entered the era of hot weapons from cold weapons. Arquebuses have a number of disadvantages, the firing process is very complex and slow, the ignition is susceptible to wind and rain, and the ignition needs to be retained when the arquebus is lit and the burning inquisition cannot be maintained for a long time
Of course, it is not easy to build a bird's gun, and you can only figure it out slowly.
Weapons are important, but so is food.
However, in the entire Qi country, there is no place where food is not in short supply.
The northwest is arid, and the water resources mainly come from the melting snow water from the high mountains. However, because there are not many lakes and rivers, there is a shortage of water for domestic use and irrigation.
Regarding this issue, Yun Lan had already thought about it.
She sat down at her desk and wrote a plan for a water cellar, a qanat, and a waterwheel. In addition, he also drew the corresponding drawings and wrote down a fairly detailed explanation.
In her previous life, she happened to be interested in qanats, water cellars, and waterwheels. When I had nothing to do, I went to Baidu, and I also drew a sketch of the waterwheel by myself, and I understood the structure of the waterwheel very clearly.
The watermill workshop was soon established in the name of the royal family.
Zhuge Tianming, with the power of the prince, gathered almost the craftsmen of the entire northwest to the waterwheel workshop. Yun Lan had already written the charter and appointed a general manager, three stewards, and several group leaders.
The workshop is divided into several groups, each team is responsible for one of the processes, according to their respective skills to complete the corresponding tasks, forming an assembly line operation. In addition, each process is equipped with special quality inspection. If the quality is good and the pass rate is high, there will be rewards; Otherwise, they will be punished.
The assembly line operation, as well as the reward and punishment system, greatly stimulated the enthusiasm and sense of responsibility of the craftsmen, and the efficiency was surprisingly good. Moreover, after the position is subdivided, each person is only responsible for one process that he is better at and easy to learn, and the operation is proficient and smooth, and the productivity has been greatly improved. Correspondingly, the cost will be reduced a lot.
At the same time, a strict confidentiality system has also been formulated, which can effectively prevent leakage of secrets. Each person is responsible for a step, and everyone is strictly restricted from revealing to others how the step they are responsible for is operated.
Under Yun Lan's proposal, Qi set up a transportation bureau, an industrial and commercial bureau, a tax bureau, a post office, an agriculture bureau, a forestry bureau, an education bureau, a water conservancy bureau, a finance bureau, a health bureau, a supervision bureau and a public security bureau.
