"Waterwheel?"

Li Yifu thought about it carefully, and this time he patted his head and said, "Yes, you can irrigate with a waterwheel." ”

Smiling awkwardly again, Li Yifu immediately beckoned the people of the village to make a waterwheel.

The mighty reclamation of Jingyang Village has begun again.

People from nearby villages also came to watch, although they were no longer surprised by the opening of the wasteland in Jingyang.

But I'm still willing to come and see it.

A team of more than 2,000 people was busy in the fields.

On the other side of this wasteland, there are many Jingyang villagers who are building farms.

It's already summer, and the construction task in Jingyang Village is in full swing again.

Li Zheng asked Da Niu to take Di Renjie and Pei Xingjian to build a waterwheel together.

In the past, several waterwheels in the village were made by the children of Da Niu.

Li Zhi was sweating profusely, and the children worked until the afternoon before they stopped and planned to continue working on the waterwheel tomorrow.

"What does His Royal Highness King Jin think? Wouldn't it be too bitter? Li Zheng asked as he ate dry food.

Li Zhi also sat by the Jingyang River eating dry food, and like other children, put his feet in the cool river water.

After a busy day's work, the feet are the most tired.

Li Zhi ate dry food and swayed his feet in the river and said, "It's not bitter, I think it's fun." ”

Li Zheng touched Li Zhi's head, "I'm going to be your brother-in-law soon, how is your dowry prepared?" ”

"Huh." Li Zhi smiled contemptuously and took a bite of dry food and said: "Li Zheng, you even want money for me as a child, and sure enough, as my imperial sister said, you are a dead money." ”

Li Zheng pondered, "It turns out that your sister has been saying bad things about me, and it seems that after she gets married, I will have to formulate a family law." ”

Li Zhi looked at Li Zheng ignorantly, "What is family law?" ”

"The country has national law, the family has a family law, His Royal Highness the King of Jin doesn't even know the family law, and sure enough, His Majesty still neglected your family education."

"Is there a relationship between family law and tutoring?" Li Zhi asked.

"It should have something to do with it." Li Zheng thought about it and said.

In the evening, you can see that many villagers have returned to the village, and today's clearing of the wasteland has come to an end.

By next year, Jingyang will have more grain.

The people of Datang are simple and simple, and the villagers have a high passion for such things as land reclamation.

After the disaster in Guanzhong a few years ago, the villagers of Jingyang attached great importance to food.

The more food this kind of thing, the better, and if you have a little less, you will not be sure.

Now Jingyang's grain storage is enough for Jingyang villagers to eat for a year, but farming still doesn't dare to be left behind.

The drought and locust plague in the past two years of Zhenguan have cast a shadow on the hearts of too many people.

I am afraid that one day there will be another disaster, which will cause people to starve to death in Guanzhong.

Datang sees food as the top priority.

Li Yifu came back to report the situation of the wasteland, "The county marquis has opened up a total of 300 acres of wasteland today, and when the time comes, it will be turned over and backfilled, and the old village chief said that the land here is not very good, and it is used to play with the canal first, so that the land is wet for a period of time, and most of the people go to dig the ditch by hand." ”

Li Zheng nodded, "How's the situation with the new farm?" ”

Li Yifu flipped through a page of the booklet and replied: "The foundation is still being laid, and it is estimated that the foundation can be consolidated next year." ”

Li Zheng said: "Chang'an is windy and sandy, and there are more trees on both sides of the new road we have built. ”

Li Yifu asked curiously: "It has already been planted." ”

"The area west of Chang'an is prone to sand and dust, especially in the direction of Longyou, a variety of trees, trees can block the wind and sand, which is different from the road we built to Chang'an before."

Li Yifu wrote down Li Zheng's request, "How much do you want to plant?" ”

"Three percent inside and outside, three lines of planting."

Li Yifu pondered for a while in his heart and said, "It's about five thousand trees. ”

Li Zheng nodded, "Arrange it, you settle the salary as usual, and leave this matter to Xu Jingzong." ”

"Understood." Li Yifu nodded.

Li Shimin is not so concerned about things like greening, and he is not so concerned about things like wind and sand.

For them, it is not easy to solve the people's livelihood and let the people of the Central Plains have enough to eat.

Not to mention what to do in the bad environment.

Li Zheng knew that as long as a vast green belt was built in the Longyou area, most of the wind and sand could be blocked.

It seems that every emperor does not care so much about such things, and for them the heavens need to be respected.

Thunder, rain and dew are all the blessings of God, and from the ideological point of view, this kind of thing is regarded as a natural phenomenon at all.

I don't think this situation can be changed.

Over the next few hundred years, this desertification will get worse.

Of course, it is useless to talk to Li Shimin about this kind of thing, his life is just more than ten years, and for Li Shimin, it is much more important to make the achievement of expanding the territory and dominating the world than to do greening.

In his limited life, Li Shimin is more willing to make exploits that can be praised by future generations, which may be the most important thing for him.

If you Li Shimin don't do it, I can only do it, step by step, starting from Longyou, and then to the west of Huairou in the Central Plains, and even all the loess plateaus in the Central Plains, a large area of forest cold is planted.

Li Zheng remembered that he had suffered from wind and sand when he was a child, and he could at least start from this life.

"The greenery can't be left behind." Li Zheng sighed with emotion, "Li Yifu, you should go back and rest earlier." ”

"Whoa."

When he returned to the horse circle, Cheng Chumo had already returned from Chang'an.

This guy was not in a high mood, and when he saw that Li Zheng was back, Cheng Chumo said loudly: "I want to eat chili bibimbap tonight." ”

Li Zheng gasped, "Brother Chu Mo, what's wrong with you?" ”

Cheng Chumo spat out a mouthful of spit and said, "The knife you gave me was dedicated to Your Majesty in a blink of an eye." ”

"It's a good thing." Li Zheng said.

"A good thing?" Cheng Chumo said again: "Then you can build another one for me." ”

"If you don't worry, maybe the knives in the army will be replaced with new knives like that in two years, why should Brother Chu Mo be in a hurry."

Cheng Chu looked at Li Zheng silently and said: "My old man also said that you Li Zheng gave me a knife just to let our family show His Majesty, but it is just your means of borrowing flowers to offer Buddha." ”

"This ......" Li Zheng hesitated.

Cheng Chumo patted his chest and said: "I know, Li Zheng, you will definitely not be that kind of person, it is all an excuse for my old family to please Your Majesty." ”

Seeing Cheng Chumo's expression of deep hatred for his father, Li Zheng turned around and walked into the kitchen.

Perhaps because of his weak heart, Li Zheng plans to make a Dongpo meat and tofu fish head soup tonight.

Sumptuous dishes were served, and the children came to the table for dinner.

Li Tai also returned from Chang'an, and these days Li Tai has been busy compiling the Geographical Chronicles with Cen Wenwen and them.

At the dinner table, Li Tai said to Li Zheng: "I've been busy lately, and I don't know what's wrong recently, if you don't run for half an hour every morning, you will have no energy all day." ”
