The key is location!

What is the best location?

Three days later, a carriage was escorted by more than a dozen horses to the west bank of the Weihe River, the boundary of Jinghai County. And in the depths of the reeds, there are large ponds and mires. Overgrown with cyan reeds that are much taller than a man. The scope of the reeds in front of him is far greater than Shi Yiwen's imagination.

"With such a large area of land, there is no one to cultivate it?"

Shi Yiwen looked at the range of sight in confusion, and there were reeds as far as the eye could see.

"Childe, look at this reed, from the Wei River to the Jinghe, the south of the Jinghe River is the place of Changlu Salt, and the north of the Jinghe River is the reed dang that stretches for hundreds of miles, from us to the east, you have to walk dozens of miles, or even hundreds of miles to reach the seaside. As for why there is no one to cultivate, Childe, you see ......"

Kicked the ground under his feet, Wu Cai said.

"This kind of land can't be cultivated."

What kind of land?

Looking down, you can clearly see the white salt stains oozing from the ground, which is a typical coastal saline-alkali land.

Shi Yiwen secretly thought in his heart that it seems that in modern times, the coastal area of Tianjin is also a high saline-alkali land, but through proper transformation, there are also many fertile fields in the local area. The key is to renovate.

"In such saline-alkali land, only reeds and weeds can grow, and even trees are easy to be burned here, so naturally crops cannot be grown, but ......"

Wu Cai looked back at the thoughtful Shi Yiwen and said.

"The local people said that this place could not be cultivated, but they didn't know that the land was actually alkaline if there was no water, and if it got water, it would be moist. If we follow the method of land management in the coastal areas of Fujian and Zhejiang: irrigation through canals may not be impossible to reclaim into rice fields, but for the northerners, such land is absolutely uncultivable and will burn the crops. ”

In this way, naturally no one will choose to reclaim such wasteland.

"Then give it a try!"

Staring at the reeds stretching for hundreds of miles in front of him, Shi Yiwen said with a smile.

"Let's first reclaim a piece by the Wei River, and then expand outward little by little, after all, this place is so big, let's come step by step, if we make good use of it, this tens of millions of acres of coastal land can not only become a big granary in Beizhili, but even a large ranch."

It is indeed too wasteful for such a large place to let him be so idle, especially when he thinks of the upcoming Xiaoice River period, Shi Yiwen naturally thought of the high food prices in the north at that time.

"It's time to cultivate the good seeds in the space."

Not only the good in the space should be cultivated, but also the fertilizer industry should be promoted.

"Is Childe preparing for private reclamation or official reclamation?"

Looking at Childe, Wu Cai asked tentatively.

"Of course, it's the official reclamation, since now I'm in this Tuntian Shilang, in its profits, these tens of millions of acres of reeds can't just be wasted, there is a few years, and this place will definitely be reclaimed into fertile land, but ......"

After a moment of silence, Shi Yiwen said again.

"It's really far away from the capital, if I sit here to cultivate, it must be a little inconvenient, this person is not selected......"

As soon as he turned his head to look at Wu Cai, he saw him waving his hand and saying.

"Childe, I'm definitely not going to be able to do it, I read these things from books."

"In the book? You're saying someone has been trying to reclaim this place? ”

Shi Yiwen hurriedly asked.

"If that's the case, wouldn't it be right to use this man to settle here? Who is this person? ”

"This person's name is Xu Zhenming, and he is also an official in the court, but the prince doesn't know, although this person suggests that he advocates the implementation of tuntian in the north, but in addition, many of his suggestions are really unbearable, such as the imperial court from the southeast to transfer Qi Shi and other southern soldiers, he said that the people in the southeast have always been weak and cannot bear the defense of remote places. He also said that this would cause the separation of the flesh and blood of the soldiers, and the waste of food and wages, which would make the people in the southeast difficult, but it would not be of substantial help to the imperial court. Therefore, the system of craftsmen's classes should be imitated, and military households should be responsible for military affairs, and they should be levied an annual silver tael to recruit people who have been stable in remote areas for a long time to obtain sufficient personnel. He also didn't want to think about what the military households were like now, and he still levied silver taels from the military households and asked them to pay for the silver to hire people, which was not a joke, and he was not afraid of provoking a mutiny. Even his suggestion to implement Tuntian was to make the capital self-sufficient in grain, so as to reduce the grain in the south of the Yangtze River, in other words, all his starting point was to reduce the burden of the people in the southeast......"

When mentioning some of Xu Zhenming's suggestions, Wu Cai's words were mocking. In his opinion, none of this is realistic.

"Hmmm......"

nodded slightly, from the time he heard that he was going to collect silver taels from military households, Shi Yiwen's heart had already excluded this person from his heart, people were robbing the rich and helping the poor, but he was good at robbing the poor and helping the rich. It's really not worth commenting.

"There are always some people who always feel that they are good and can be bullied, and they always feel that they are poor and deceitful, and such people ......"

Shaking his head, such a person doesn't say that he uses it, and even Shi Yiwen is ashamed to be with them.

"But, Childe, if a large area of fertile land is really created here in the future, maybe some people will really think that they can cancel the grain."

Wu Cai's words made Shi Yiwen laugh and laugh,

"If this is the case, it may not be the blessing of the people of the world, but you always think about things too simply, for the government, only they have taken silver from the people, how could they ever think of returning the silver that was hard to take out, even if these coastal saline-alkali land have become fertile land, Beizhili has added tens of millions of stone grain, and the grain in the south of the Yangtze River will not be canceled, it is estimated that the grain will be changed to levy silver, and when the time comes, the burden of the people will not increase, and it is already thank God!"

For this kind of thing, it has long been strange, just like the construction of a certain gorge in the electricity, and then when the project is completed, it directly changed two words, and continued to collect water power, which is nothing more than a change of name.

"This ...... It's also ......."

Wu Cai sighed.

"Xing, the people are suffering, dying, the people are suffering, the most bitter people in the world are the people."

"This, maybe it's fate!"

Shi Yiwen sighed helplessly, looking at the endless saline-alkali land in front of him, he didn't know what kind of changes this field could bring to Daming, but at least some people could always get some fields and have food to eat.

As for the Xiaoice in the next few decades, what can you do?

Staring at this reed, Shi Yiwen sighed in his heart, and then said to himself in his heart.

"The cultivation of this good seed and chemical fertilizer still have to be grasped."

After pondering for a moment, Shi Yiwen thought of the potatoes sold in the space supermarket again. Those potatoes are Dutch potatoes that only grow for more than 60 days, maybe ...... After the cotton is harvested, another season of potatoes can be planted.

It's just that there are too few potatoes sold in the supermarket......

Well, let's breed first!
