Chapter II: Delivery of Government Affairs

Pei Min and his entourage went out of the Gyeonggi border in Chang'an. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Guanzhong is known as the Qinchuan of 800 miles, especially after the Qin Dynasty built the Zhengguo Canal, Guanzhong is rich in the world, and is known as the golden pond soup city, the fertile field for thousands of miles, and the country of abundance by the ancients.

It is not unreasonable for the two major countries of the Han and Tang dynasties to win the world with Guanzhong.

Now it is the middle of summer, all the way, the road is all around, there are green rice fields, which shows that the name of the country of abundance in Guanzhong is worthy of the name.

It's just that Chang'an is developing too fast, and the population is gathering in Guanzhong, resulting in even if there are 800 miles of Qinchuan, the grain in Guanzhong is still in short supply and needs to be transported from the south of the Yangtze River.

This is also something that can be helped!

In this era, even if it was fertile soil, the yield was very limited, and the harvest could not be compared with the hybrid rice of later generations.

Pei Min thought about it so far, regretting that he didn't apply for agriculture back then, and he couldn't make hybrid rice in ancient times, which was really a measure to benefit all the people in the world.

"There is no way to make hybrid rice, and there is a silver lining for sweet potatoes!"

He remembered that sweet potatoes were introduced to China by Chen Zhenlong, a Fujian man, during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, so they were called sweet potatoes.

Sweet potato should be the first special product of that area of South America, not only has the effect of cooling blood and invigorating blood, nourishing qi and quenching thirst and stopping bleeding, but also fills hunger, the key is high yield, strong adaptability, has the excellent characteristics of no land suitability, high yield, dozens of stones per acre, 20 times better than the seed grain. I remember that at that time, the floods in the south of the Yangtze River were serious, the grains were not harvested, and the hungry people were displaced. The emergence of sweet potatoes saved the famine and benefited many people in the south of the Yangtze River.

It's also a great credit to be able to bring sweet potatoes from South America!

It's just that with the current strength of the Tang Dynasty's sailors, they can't withstand the wind and waves of the sea!

One step at a time, is the right thing.

Pei Min knows that it is easy to pull eggs when the steps are big, even if he has thousands of ideas in his heart, he can only develop slowly.

Entering the boundary of Taozhou, the scene in front of me is very different from that of Guanzhong.

As a farming nation, Taozhou at a glance, but there is no rice field, the original grain field is planted with dense grass, processed as fine material for cattle, sheep and horses to eat.

Going deep into Taozhou, you can see cattle and sheep everywhere.

Children ride on cattle and sheep to show off their might, and adults look at the herd leisurely and live a comfortable life.

Since Pei Min captured Guangen Town, Taozhou was spared military disasters, and the people were able to live and work in peace and contentment.

Pei Min has a good governance, develops Taoyan and Taoshi, develops the animal husbandry industry, and makes Taoyan and Taozhou fresh milk famous in Longyou and Guanzhong, so that the supply exceeds demand.

Today's Taozhou can no longer see the scene after the war, and Pei Min is still extremely proud of this.

He is a state and county parent official, and he is quite competent.

Until arriving in Taozhou City, Pei Min couldn't rest and summoned Gu Xin, Zhang Jiuling, and Sun Zhouren.

Gu Xin and Zhang Jiuling first reported on the administrative situation in Taozhou, and Xu is everything was on the right track and nothing special happened, and it developed steadily upward.

Zhang Jiuling said: "There is a suggestion from his subordinates that the original Guogong gathered the people in the state in two counties in order to avoid the invasion of Tibet, increase the popularity of Taozhou, and promote commercial development. Now that the Tibetan crisis has been resolved, the two counties of Taozhou are not lacking in popularity. Why don't you let the people who are willing to return to their hometowns scatter back? ”

Pei Min glanced at Zhang Jiuling and said, "What is Zishou's intention?" ”

Zhang Jiuling replied: "The topography of Taozhou is indeed suitable for the development of animal husbandry, but the development of animal husbandry needs to pay attention to one point. Livestock farming is not like farming, as long as there is enough water, the more fertile the field becomes. Animal husbandry is different, grazing in one place for a long time can seriously damage the water and soil of the place, resulting in a situation where the land is barren and cannot be stocked in the following year. In this regard, the surrounding nomads attach great importance to it, they live with the water and grass, and do not stay in one place for too long, because they do not want to destroy the water and soil. People are inert, and the people of animal husbandry are too concentrated, which causes great damage to the surrounding water and soil. Not now, but in a few years, this problem will arise. If it develops too quickly, it may be too early! ”

"Zishou is far-sighted, this point is really ignored by us!" Pei Min admired in his heart, Zhang Jiuling is worthy of the talent of the prime minister, he has only been in Taozhou for half a month, and he has already seen a little potential hidden danger, and he is not stingy with praise: "The worries of the world are worried, and the joy of the world is happy." We cannot afford to compromise the long-term future for the sake of temporary convenience. This matter is a bit troublesome to handle, but it must be done! And it is necessary to explain it clearly to all herders, so that when they graze their cattle in the future, they will be aware of this and not cut themselves off. It is also necessary to make a law, and if you destroy the meadows and pastures for the sake of convenience, you will be punished severely. Gu Changshi, you are responsible for this task. ”

Gu Xin loves the people like a son, and his relationship with the people is extremely harmonious and won the hearts of the people. Having him in charge of this would save him a lot of trouble.

"Zishou, you are responsible for re-planning the county, and the people who are assigned will vacate many houses to build a market or something, you plan it yourself, write out any ideas, and send them to Guangen Town when the time comes, and I will approve and decide."

"Yes!" Zhang Jiuling followed Ying Nuo after Gu Xin.

"Soon, there will be a Gong Cao named Yuan Luqian in the state, who is my good friend. The talent is outstanding. In the coming months, I will be in Guang'en Town, focusing on military affairs. The big and small affairs in Taozhou City are all decided by the three of you after discussing with each other. I really can't make a decision, I can't reach an agreement, and then pass on your respective opinions and opinions to Guang'en Town, and I will decide. ”

"Yes!" Gu Xin and Zhang Jiuling received the order in unison.

Pei Min waved his hand and asked the two of them to go down and go about their own business.

After the two went out, Pei Min looked at Sun Zhou and said, "How is the intelligence network?" ”

"It went very well!" Sun Zhou put away his expression and reported to him with a correct posture: "The big victory in Guang'en Town has given Murong Ying a deep understanding of the strength of my Datang, and he is more eager to cooperate with us, and he is fully cooperating with us." I can't wait for us to immediately send troops to Jiuqu in Hexi, support him, the vassal king of Tubo, and re-establish Tuyuhun. However, the Tibetan generals have a certain degree of precaution against him, and there is a lot of useful news, but there are not many that can really be useful. ”

Pei Min said with a smile: "I never expected Murong Ying to give us much help, such a major event as expanding the territory and recovering the lost land, the key is to be strong." To be able to deliver a message is sufficient. If I'm not mistaken, the old woman in Tibet has increased her troops to the Jiuqu land in Hexi! ”

Sun Zhou nodded and said: "Not only did they increase their troops, but they also sent generals to transfer their general Xi Molang who defended Nanzhao in the southeast to Hequ." ”

Without waiting for Pei Min to ask, he had already taken the first step to introduce: "This Si Mo Lang has no achievements in attacking. It can be used in defense, which is particularly powerful. If the prince wants to capture the meandering land, he has to pass this pass. ”
