Chapter 375: The Land of Fish and Rice

Mu Miao's sentence was very taboo and substandard...... The update is so fast.

In the early years, there were still some people who dared to talk about Qin Wan growing up in exile, as Qin Ke's reputation became better and better, there were fewer and fewer people who dared to say this, and after Qin Ke became the prince, everyone forgot the disgraceful ten years of the Donggong family, and they didn't dare to mention the word "Peng Ze", even the word "Jiangnan", for fear of upsetting them.

Qin Wan was accustomed to everyone's caution in front of her, cautious in words and deeds, and suddenly heard Mu Miao's question, stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a little funny She poked Ji Qing's scar in order to understand the customer, who expected that before the next day, she was poked by Mu Miao.

But Qin Wan didn't mind.

She never felt that growing up in Pengze, it was humiliating to call slaves and maids if she didn't eat jade clothes. On the contrary, it is precisely because she was cold that she cherishes it more and holds on to the beautiful today. If she didn't have this experience, didn't know what it was like to hold 'sexual' life in the hands of others, and needed to see the 'color' of people's faces, how could she 'surge' and finally find a way for herself to survive?

Mu Miao's gaffe is very unusual, you must know that he has been a scholar for many years, but this position cannot tolerate the slightest mistake. However, this also proves that he attaches great importance to the Jiangnan Canal, and it also makes Qin Wan understand the deepest desire of this important minister.

For Mu Miao, who was born in a family, he has to be windy and rainy since he was a child, except for people who have been planted in the family, it is really difficult to win over.

Ordinary people want to win over Mu Miao, they will start with his family, such as marrying him, and then holding the Zheng Guo Mansion, but Qin Wan has already seen another way.

If I were in power, I would fulfill your greatest wish in this life, would you like to serve me?

Under the 'temptation' and 'confusion' of huge interests, Qin Wan took a deep breath and kept enough calm.

Although Mu Miao is important, she is no more important than her family and country, and she has to carefully study the situation in Jiangnan before she can make a decision. Therefore, she ignored Mu Miao's embarrassment, and when the other party wanted to explain, she smiled and said, "I remember!" The river is so vast that I want to go boating and fishing, but no one dares to take me there. In the fields, I also have the impression that it's 'quite muddy'. I want to go out to play all day long, but Aya A-Niang is not at ease, so she lets Yueniang or Jiuro look at me. ”

Who is Yueniang, Mu Miao knows, Cheng Fang is the chief steward of the palace, and the East Palace can't leave him for the time being, so he is just in charge of the inner library of the East Palace and takes care of many affairs in the East Palace. No one doubts that once Qin Ke ascends the throne, he will soar into the sky and occupy a high position. His wife, Shen 'female' official, that is, the Yueniang in Qin Wan's mouth, is the most trusted and important person around the crown princess, and even several sons of their family have made up for the lack of 'guards', which is glorious.

As for Kuro...... Everyone previously felt that the reason why Qin Ke treated Zhao Su well was because Zhao Su was the only one of the many 'attendants' who followed them, and the only two who continued to stay in the army. With Qin Ke's benevolent spleen, he will naturally take care of a few points, just like other 'guards' who volunteered to be rich men, are they not taken care of very well? It wasn't until Qin Wan said this that Mu Miao knew that there was such a big relationship!

The soldiers who are responsible for guarding Qin Kefu's 'wife', no matter how respectful they are, their embarrassing identity restricts their performance. Watching Qin Wan grow up, this sentiment is completely different.

But now is not the time to worry about that.

Mu Miao for the Jiangnan Canal, obviously did some homework, he was the governor of Yangzhou, in addition to suppressing the Jiangnan Shi clan, the first important thing is to survey the terrain, in the face of Qin Wan's problem, he opened his mouth to come: "Jiangnan has a lot of water since ancient times, it was originally a land of Ze, and people built embankments with soil, so that there is today's Jiangnan." When the minister first saw Jiangnan, he was also shocked, many towns have more than 100 households, but there are sixty or seventy bridges, and every household has a boat. Even if you go to the neighbor's house, you have to row a small boat to get there. ”

Qin Wan really hadn't seen this scene, so he couldn't help but be interested: "The whole Jiangnan is like this?" "Opening the 'door' is the river, either crossing the bridge or taking the boat to travel, which not only sounds like a 'wave', but also proves that the waterways in the south of the Yangtze River are really developed.

The waterway is developed, and it saves a lot of effort to dig the canal, and it takes a lot less manpower and material resources than starting from scratch and difficult drainage.

"Not really, but most of the time." Mu Miao knew that Qin Wan had listened to it, and said categorically, "If you come to Jiangnan in person, you can see that the waterway is like a huge net, densely covering the entire Jiangnan. The river is the road, and the road is the river. ”

Qin Wan listened, and finally knew why the sage was hesitant, because digging a canal in the south of the Yangtze River was too advantageous.

Just imagine, Jiangnan, which has long been accustomed to waterways, once there is a canal to communicate Jiangnan and contact Luoyang, how prosperous and busy it will be. The silk, embroidery, and porcelain in Jiangnan are all famous, and the products are also very rich. The excavation of the canal can make these things better transported to the north, and can also resolve many barriers between the south and the north, so that scholars can pass through the guò canal and come to Chang'an more quickly to participate in the imperial examination.

Also, salt.

Qin Wan has never forgotten the "salt tax price" proposed by Princess Jì Leping, it is true that this measure is ugly and unfavorable to businessmen, and there is no need to say much about all kinds of drawbacks, but it is very helpful to alleviate the central finance. If it is changed and a sound plan is come up, it will be a good way to reform the salt tax. Even if it is not needed now, in the future the country will be short of money, or when it will be in danger. Even if you drink to quench your thirst, it is better than watching the building collapse, but you can't do anything about it.

Although she was moved, she didn't show it, but she was a little curious: "What about the farmland?" It should be much more convenient for southerners to cultivate farmland than for northerners, right? ”

Irrigation is important to farming, and the importance of 'sex' is self-evident. For the sake of a canal and a river, the two families can fight each other for generations, and the people of the two villages can kill you to the death. Even if the government encounters this kind of dispute over the canal that causes human life, it often doesn't care about it, and lets them solve it themselves.

"Since it is cultivated, there are many paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is nothing more than the land of fish and rice." Mu Miao said slowly, "Every household in Jiangnan plants mulberry trees, and mulberry leaves feed silkworms, silkworms...... The surplus stuff is fed to the fish, and the fish, and the fish stuff becomes pond mud, and the pond mud is used to water the mulberry trees. There are also many families who raise fish in the rice fields. ”

Speaking of this, he took out a notebook, turned to one of the pages, and pointed it out to Qin Wan. On top is his handwriting, which seems to be full and round, but in fact, between the turns, it shows the wind and bones.

Qin Wan looked carefully, and saw Mu Miao writing on it: "...... To Ou, Ouren rice soup fish...... Yongxi and other counties, the mountain field is barren, the flat place is a hoe and shovel, open for the town, serve the 'spring' rain, store water in the mound, that is, buy grass carp roe to scatter the water in the field, one or two years later, the fish grows up, eats the grass roots and exhausts, that is, the ripe field, and sucks the fish profit. It is to plant rice fields, and to exterminate barnyard grass, it is the art of Qi people......"

The territory of Great Xia, Qin Wan still remembers, and after thinking about it a little, he probably understands. This Ou should be Yongning County under Linhai County, oh, no, the Southern Dynasty changed its name and was called Yongjia County.

Huiji County is too rich, there are too many people, and the family is also powerful. In order to divide and contain, after the sage pacified the Southern Dynasty, Emperor Taizong divided the east of Huiji County and established a new Linhai County, which also belonged to the jurisdiction of Yangzhou Thorn History. As for Yonghee-gun...... After figuring out where it was, Qin Wan looked at Mu Miao with some surprise.

Although she knows that the governor of Yangzhou is not the assassin of Yangzhou, the latter's authority is not only in Yangzhou, and it is not impossible for the former to call it "Jiangnan Governor". If it weren't for the special situation, the Jiangnan rebellion was 'chaotic', and it was urgent to suppress people with special identities and who could suppress the scene, but the princes were not angry, and it would not be Mu Miao's turn to sit in this position.

Mu Miao has always done things safely, Qin Wan knows it, but he can't run too far, right? Yongxi County is next to Cangwu County, which is a 'Jiao' Prefecture area!

Qin Jing was named the Duke of Cangwu County, and there were countless people who wanted to speculate and bet crying, which shows that although that place is not barbaric, it is far less prosperous than the hinterland of the Central Plains, Mu Miao

Realizing that Qin Wan had a mistake, Mu Miao hurriedly said: "The minister sent someone to Jiangnan to learn about the customs and customs. "Oudi went by himself, as for Yongxi County, he didn't have the strength to run that far, but he just sent his henchmen to go. This method of fish farming and land reclamation made the people he sent straight-eyed, and after digging into the roots, not only did he describe him clearly, but even brought a few experienced old farmers to tell him the relevant methods carefully, and naturally also mentioned the matter of fish farming in the rice fields.

Mu Miao naturally understands the benefits of this method, but there are some restrictions and wants to do this, it is best to be located in a plain, easy to irrigate, and it is best to accumulate water all year round. Moreover, the reason why the farmers raise fish and open up the wasteland is that they either dare to raise fish in the rice fields after the land is cleared, or they do not grasp the methods and limits well, and they are afraid that the fish will not only eat the weeds, but also eat the rice seedlings.

This move is not particularly mature, but there is merit, in order to prove his thoughts, Mu Miao took out a book from the previous dynasty and showed it to Qin Wan.

Qin Wan read this book and guessed what Mu Miao was going to say, and sure enough, that sentence was: "Pixian Ziyu has yellow scales and red tails, out of the rice field, and can be used as sauce." ”

Pixian County is located in Shuzhong, close to Dujiangyan, and the terrain is relatively flat. The fish were caught in the rice paddies there, and the crops were not affected, does this prove that this method is feasible?

Qin Wan thought about it again and again, and said slowly: "Sir, please wait a few more years, the matter of rice and fish farming, you have to try it first." ”

Her fiefdom, Guangling County, is just in the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, and she doesn't have to worry about money and food. It is better to send someone to go and use this method to test for a few years, and then slowly figure it out after making sure that it is safe.

If the products in Jiangnan are really so abundant, and it is much easier to build the Jiangnan Canal than to repair the southeast transportation road, Qin Wan sighed, no
