Chapter 1358 Suzhou

Su You took advantage of these few days of free time to let the hunters in Guodong and the tribe take him to play around, in fact, he was investigating the sand-fixing plants.

It turned out that I really found a lot.

The most powerful is the sand canopy jujube, where this thing grows is almost a desert, the root system is shallow and long, can be as long as twenty or thirty meters, and the remaining plants in the deepest part of the desert are basically this, except for camels, cattle and horses are unwilling to eat.

A little further away from the center of the desert, there are saxon grass, sand willow, sand dates, sea buckthorn, licorice, and ephedra.

Shuttle grass is a very good carbon material, "back to the wild horse river has a wooden lock, burning its fire will not be extinguished for many years, and not ashes." ”

"Charcoal is trivial, and when the fire burns, it is fragrant, and it is not charcoal."

There is also a good thing that must rely on the parasitism of the saxon grass - Cistanche.

In the Tang Dynasty's "Collection of Materia Medica", it was recorded: "Cistanche has three coins, three decoctions and one system, and hot drinks are served, and the yang will not fade for life."

Sand willow is also called basket willow, and the locals use the branches of this willow tree to make baskets.

The remaining few things are important, especially the last two, which are the magic medicine of traditional Chinese medicine to deal with the evil of warmth and cold.

Treatment of external cold, headache, fever, inflammation, allergies...... Anyway, Su You is often seen in Wei'er's medical prescriptions.

When Su You was collecting these plants, an unbelievable idea popped up in his mind - could it be that Lao Tzu would make a fortune to govern the Yellow River?

The purpose of collecting sand-fixing plants is, of course, to control the Yellow River.

The problem of the Yellow River is mainly the problem of flowing through the Loess Plateau, and although the Loess Plateau is still part of the Liao State, it is already a marginal area, and there is no sediment lost.

The part that made the Yellow River unruly has now been taken by the Great Song Dynasty.

As for the Yellow River, the Da Song River Canal Division and the Guanzhou case have quite detailed measurement data, and the sediment comes from the two banks of Xingluo-Longmen-Tongguan at most, and more than half of the sediment of the Yellow River comes from this area.

In other words, this is the over-exploitation of the Chinese nation, and the pot that should be carried by itself.

The rest of the sediment mainly comes from the tributaries of the Yellow River system, and the serious areas include the Wuding River, Qingjian River, Yanshui, Beiluo River, and the Malian River, a tributary of the Jing River.

as well as the upper reaches of the Wei River and the Fen River.

Nowadays, the Jing River and the Beiluo River, sand control has achieved fruitful results, the people along the Jing River are grateful to Su You, and the activities of planting willows by the river and sacrificing the Dragon Master Shaobao of the Jing River have been integrated together, and have become local folk customs.

It has been 20 years now, the banks of the Jing River and the Jing Canal have become forests, the amount of quicksand in the Jing River is less than that of the Wei River, and the scene of the clear distinction between Jing and Wei no longer exists.

The successor of the Weizhou city guard reported the re-clearing of the Jing River as an auspicious event, and this activity has now gradually swept the tributary Malian River.

This shows that it is feasible to fix sand through plants, and Shaanxi has now recovered, and the population of the four roads has increased from 700,000 households and 3 million people when Suyou first arrived in Weizhou to 1.1 million households and 5 million people.

This is more than one million households and more than four million people in Shaanxi at the peak of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is a whole million more, which is equivalent to half of the Sichuan Gorge Four Roads.

Of course, Su You didn't dare to go directly to Zhao Ji to engage in afforestation, but secretly asked Zhang Hengqu to add a clause in the "Township Covenant": "100 steps along the river, plant more plants and trees; conserve water and soil, prohibit logging and grazing; Preserve the children and grandchildren, and have plenty of food and clothing. ”

Therefore, the Chinese people are so cute, with the promotion of the "Township Covenant", this article has also been promoted, and the people may not know the reason for this, but it does not prevent them from implementing it honestly.

The effective guidance of the superior is never wrong, but the direction of guidance must always be strictly controlled.

After a few days of hunting, Su You also finished collecting sand-fixing plants, and then returned to Juyan City.

When leaving, Su You also taught the local residents a way to catch fish.

The density of fish in the Juyan Sea is extremely high, but the tribes living in the surrounding area are not good at catching fish.

Su You taught them to use baskets of wicker along the shore to form a kind of wicker array, opening against the water, when the fish swim back in the lake, they will burrow into the mouth of the big bag, and then swim smaller and smaller, and finally enter the fish collection area.

If the fish tries to escape, when it turns back, it will be misled by the arc-shaped wicker arrays on both sides, and it will not be able to find the real exit.

The old shepherd in the cadre still had an impression of the shaman, and when he saw such a situation where the fish automatically gathered into the wicker array, they all knelt down and shouted to Su You. 123 Kanshu.com

In fact, this is a method that Su You learned at the beach, and it works well in Juyanhai, and he is also very happy.

In addition to sand-fixing plants, Su oil took away one thing in Juyanhai, there is a small waterfowl called oil hyacinth, its oil, has always been the best for maintaining swords.

Vile will definitely like it.

When the pastoral area was demarcated, the Song army guarding this place also arrived, and Su You left 300 new troops to guard Yancheng, and returned to Ganzhou with Mrs. Chao and Guodong Guoliang.

In addition to the Sitong Exploration Division and the people of the Construction Division who arrived here, there is also Yao Lin's Tiger Wing Army.

The coordination of the old and new armies is also a subject, and the planting has explored some models in the Pingxia War, and now the marching process of Su You is to solidify these patterns into rules.

As the vanguard and scout of the new army, as well as the package alert force at night, and the battlefield cleaning force after the war, the old army is still very effective in the current situation that the new army is insufficient.

Moreover, the expansion of the new army does not dare to be too excessive, after all, there is still a Liao country with strong technical strength, and the problem of technical leakage and dissemination has to be guarded against.

After marching all the way and inspecting and summarizing, the team soon arrived in Suzhou.

On the side of Qilian Mountain along the way, various Buddhist caves began to appear.

Many Buddha cave statues and murals are very exquisite, and there are pavilions built outside the caves to protect the caves, because many of them are new caves, and the Dunhuang grottoes that Su You has seen in later generations are actually a little different.

It can be imagined how prosperous the Silk Road was at that time, and how rich these cave worshippers were.

In the process of cutting down the buildings, ceremonial guards, and mausoleums of the Li clan in the Western Xia, there is an exception, that is, the temples, caves, and Buddha statues built by the Li clan for Buddhism are not among them.

Such differential treatment also took care of the religious plot of the Ningxia people, and was praised and supported to the greatest extent.

Seeing the statues full of mountains and valleys, Su You couldn't help but sigh to Li Li, who was beside him: "It's all people's fat and people's ointment, but it's really magnificent and exquisite. ”

Yuanfeng was restructured, and Li Lianzhu has now become a waiter in the Ministry of Works.

But he, the squire of the Ministry of Works, is a little out of place with a group of officials from the Ministry of Works, and it just so happens that his son is in the northwest, so he simply wrote a letter to Su You, young master, you want to engage in construction, don't forget me.

Su You thought about it right, Suzhou is Jiuquan in the Han Dynasty, where there are not only Buddha caves, but also Yumen Oilfield!

The name Yumen is actually inaccurate, at least not now, Jiuquan in the Tang Dynasty is related to cards, but it is very small.

There is the place where the Xixia people first forged Qingfeng steel, called Jingtie Mountain, until the Ming Dynasty, it became a big checkpoint, the westernmost Jiayu Pass of the Ming Great Wall.

The Yumen Pass in the Tang Dynasty was still in Shazhou, hundreds of miles northwest of Yangguan, which was the end of Su You's trip and the western end of the original Xia territory.

Therefore, the oil field under our feet should be called Suzhou Oilfield now.

Su You doesn't know where it is, so it needs Li Qing, the squire of the Imperial Court's Ministry of Works, to tie up the comrades' eyes.

The life of the wife of the official in Bianjing City can detain Juan'er, and when she heard that the young master was summoned, the two of them fled from the capital with the prospecting team of the Sitong Survey Division.

Jiuquan is actually a good place, many people in later generations mentioned Jiuquan, what comes to mind is the vast Gobi with yellow sand, in fact, Jiuquan is located at the foot of the Qilian Mountains, there are abundant snow-capped meltwater, here is close to the Qilian Mountains, has always been a place of abundant water and grass.

And the most important thing is that there is a unique condition here, and many ditches and gorges at the foot of the Qilian Mountains are the best places to build water conservancy projects.

And now that there are cement pipelines, even the Gobi can be transformed, and whether to invest or not is not a technical problem, but a problem of input-output ratio.

Su You believes that it is not necessary, unless the oil field is drilled, and the vicinity of the oil field needs to be reclaimed to meet the living needs of the garrison, it is completely unnecessary.

The oases in Suzhou are yet to be developed, and the entire Hexi Corridor is lacking.

There are now two or three thousand households and more than 10,000 people in Suzhou, which is not a county seat in Shuzhong.

The city guard trembled when he saw Su You.

The Great Song Dynasty was mild, and after the army of the Xiping Military Division was completely annihilated at the foot of Rouge Mountain, he had already handed over the surrender table, which was faster than the usual edict.

Therefore, he was not afraid that the Shu State Guild would chop him up for no reason, what he was afraid of was that the Shu State Duke came with an army of 10,000 and could not support it himself.
