In the Prince's Mansion in Nanjing, Chen Ming had already left, but there were still a few people in the hall who were frowning at the pamphlet in their hands, frowning as deep as a deep ditch. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Wang Huizu and Zhao Yi glanced at each other casually, no need to say anything, they had the same heart at this moment. This must be a trick that the prince has been holding back for an unknown amount of time, and he has not discussed it with outsiders at all, and it is completely arbitrary.

"Fortunately, the prince also let the pilot." Pang Zhenkun, who had just been recalled from his post as governor of Guangxi, didn't know what to say, and Chen Ming's sudden hand made his head rise. Fortunately, there is a pilot here, and if this is implemented in Shanxi now, it will be really fatal.

Chen Ming wants to vigorously develop the coal mines in Pingyang Province, that is, Linfen, and it is expected that within three years, the people of Pingyang Province will switch from burning firewood to coal, because he wants to close the mountains to cultivate forests and plant trees. At the same time, the local people are required to reduce the number of goat breeding, on the grounds that sheep eat grass roots, and vigorously encourage captive breeding + silage. At the same time, vigorously build silt dams!

Pang Zhenkun is going to be dizzy, because sheep eat grass roots, so people will raise less, or they have to be raised in a circle, and they must spend money or pay labor to complete the silage, does this make sense? This seems to be a fluttering sentence, but in fact, it is so easy for the local people to change their living habits? And what the hell is that 'soil erosion', and what is it? It is actually related to a series of problems in the Yellow River, such as the yellowing of the Yellow River, the sediment in the Yellow River, the siltation and elevation of the riverbed, and the frequent flooding of the Yellow River.

Although at first glance, Pang Zhenkun still felt that what Chen Ming said was very reliable. He had been serving as a governor in Guangxi, a place with complex terrain, mainly mountainous areas, high and low in the middle around the periphery, and slightly basins. Rainfall is abundant and vegetation is abundant, but in the northwest of Guangxi, there are mostly lava fields, with high mountains, steep slopes, and thin soil, and soil erosion is also very serious, according to the pamphlet. Pang Zhenkun is also familiar with the mud that has been washed away by the water and silted up the riverbed. Locals say that the soil is too thin to hold the soil, but now looking at the pamphlet is very convincing. It's just that the northwest of Guangxi is not as good as the hinterland of Henan and Anhui Plains, and even if the river floods, the impact is very small. This is very likely to be true, but do you make sense of these to the people of Binh Duong Province?

How simple is it to cut firewood in the mountains, and it doesn't cost money to burn coal? How easy is it to put sheep up the hill? Silage doesn't cost money, huh? The people in the city are better, but the people in the countryside are willing to listen.

And finally, the silt dam? What the hell is this? Chen Ming threw out the topic today, why didn't Pang Zhenkun know?

But in Chen Ming's eyes, the Shanxi governance plan he made up is very reliable. This silt dam is definitely a great way to prevent soil erosion on the Loess Plateau. In the ditches at all levels in the soil erosion area, the dam construction structure built for the purpose of holding back mud and silting is called silt dam.

The Loess Plateau area of Shanxi has deep soil layer, loess is widely distributed, has the characteristics of uniform texture, loose structure, strong permeability, easy disintegration, fast dehydration and consolidation, etc., and is a good dam building material itself, which can be taken locally. This kind of water conservancy building, which continues to be low, is of great significance for raising the channel erosion datum, preventing and controlling soil erosion, flood detention, mud retention and siltation, reducing the amount of yellow sediment, and improving local production and living conditions.

The most important thing is that the investment is small, the effect is fast, the use of the dam land is long, and the benefit is high.

Chen Ming, who has the memory of later generations as the 'basis', has a high opinion of the silt dam, but unfortunately he is a bit empty and plain. Because these three words, regardless of whether they are Wang Huizu, Xiong Bingzhang, Zhao Yi, or geeks like Pang Zhenkun, I have never heard of them. Chen Ming still remembered that there was a precedent for silt dams in history, but he couldn't remember them. I only vaguely remember that first in the Ming Dynasty, and then in the Qing Dynasty, it attracted the attention of the Manchu government, but in the end it failed to develop effectively.

In addition to this silt dam, Chen Ming still has six words in his mind: source protection, slope protection, and ditch consolidation. I remember that I learned the three principles of comprehensive management of small watersheds when I was in geography class in middle school. Then what kind of shelter forest is planted on the top of the mountain, grass is planted on both sides, terraces can be built under the grassland, and then shrub grass slope protection, woodland and so on.

Chen Ming plans to experiment with these things one by one in Shanxi, using Pingyang Mansion as a pilot project, as long as the effect can be seen, then it can be promoted. The Loess Plateau is located in the west of the Taihang Mountains, east of the Wusheling Mountains, north of the Qinling Mountains, and south of the Great Wall, spanning Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Inner Mongolia and other provinces.

If it really comes to the last resort, Chen Ming has one last trick - migration. From the Loess Plateau, the people were relocated step by step to the Northeast, Xinjiang and the South Seas. Reducing the number of local population, the population base, will naturally greatly reduce the pressure on the land and the natural environment.

Soil erosion on the Loess Plateau south of the Great Wall, and desertification of the major deserts north of the Great Wall, the two major problems are like two swords hanging very high above Chen Ming's head, no matter how much they can't be inserted into Chen Ming's head, but Chen Ming is unwilling to sit back and watch these two swords get closer and closer and ignore them.

Two days later, the Central Plains Daily published its first front-page report centering on vegetation and land desert and soil erosion, citing the example of Xinjiang, as well as Ulan Bu and the desert. In many Qin and Han dynasties, it was still a place of abundance of water and grass, cattle and sheep everywhere, and after thousands of years of circulation, it has become a vast sea of sand that is deserted.

The article describes the importance of vegetation, the dangers of land desertification and desertification, land reclamation, deforestation, and overgrazing......

On this day, I don't know how many middle- and lower-level officials in Nanjing were holding newspapers and talking about whether there was really a relationship between vegetation and soil erosion, nor how to control soil erosion. The topic they discussed was -- what are you going to do up there?

Just as many officials in the Rabbit Country watched the "People's Daily" in the previous life, insisted on reading the "Provincial Daily" and "City Daily" every day, and watched the news, many officials in Chen Han now must also read the "Central Plains Daily" every day.

Because they can see all kinds of potential policies in newspaper opinion articles, and see some of them that have a guiding effect on their own direction. When the overall situation has been decided but has not been publicly announced, some clues can always be reflected in the "Central Plains Daily".

For example, the PK battle of Nanjing Shuntianfu Yin at the beginning.

For two days in a row, the front pages of the newspapers were full of words about Shanghai's economic development prospects, and people with a discerning eye knew that the battle had finally ended with Yue Wenhai's victory. And the reason why Yue Wenhai was set was that the port was opened.

But then the newspapers successively mentioned the location of Shanghai's special areas, and it didn't take long for Shanghai's level to be raised by half a level. Xiao Lou, who was defeated in the battle for the throne of Yin Da in Shuntianfu in Nanjing, became the leader of New Shanghai.

"What do you mean?" Soil erosion, vegetation, and the prince is not a true immortal, and the sea of sand will become a rich grassland farmland with a command.

"Does the imperial court want the whole world to protect the vegetation and prevent soil erosion?"

There are all kinds of speculations, including the speculation that the imperial court is going to set up a 'sand control officer', and many people agree with it.

Then "Zhongyuan Daily" released another headline, the argument revolved around why the Yellow River is so yellow!

Not to mention, this article caused a lot more of a stir than the previous article on soil erosion. Since ancient times, China has had the saying that 'the Haiyan River is clear', and there is also 'the Yellow River is clear, and the sage comes out.' The simple concept of "the saint comes out and rules the world", but this concept is not the best foil to the turbidity of the Yellow River?

On this kind of topic, which is shrouded in a layer of mythology, "Zhongyuan Daily" suddenly made a big revelation, blaming the turbidity of the Yellow River on soil erosion on the Loess Plateau, and the shock of this moment is still very strong.

This shock and its continuation, the soil erosion of the Loess Plateau, the muddy sediment of the Yellow River - the sediment accumulation at the bottom of the riverbed, and finally become a hanging river on the ground, and frequent floods are the most serious consequences. From Luoyang downwards, the entire Henan and Anhui provinces have been flooded in the past three or four hundred years in the Ming and Qing dynasties? How many times have you broken up? How many deaths, how much property damage was caused?

No one in the whole of China can take this topic lightly, especially the people along the Yellow River. The description of the surface of the Loess Plateau in the article - thousands of ravines and fragments, has almost become synonymous with the Loess Plateau.

"This phenomenon of 'soil erosion' in the mouth of His Highness is also very common in the Kingdom of Great Britain. Like North Wales, most of the ancient forests have long since disappeared, although some areas were still densely wooded in the early 18th century. And Scotland, where less than a hundred years ago there were so many trees that the whole of England knew that everyone was burning with the "best wood" every day, but now it's a region that is even more starved of trees than Wales or England. There were no forests at all, both around the city and in the remote countryside, and if you wanted to enclose the land, you had to import trees from England and the Netherlands to make hedges. The Forest of Sevud is the most famous forest in Great Britain, and has been almost destroyed as a park and arable land due to enclosures. Beckland and Birhai are two forests belonging to the royal family, and it is said that there are 10,000 mature oak trees in them. But as far as I know, a lot of the Victory's sail wood comes from overseas, not from home. Newton did not say anything about soil erosion, but only gave a brief account of the situation in England, and when the power of capital was surging, no attempt was made to preserve the forests. And if the forests are gone, will there be less soil erosion?

The sheep cannibalism movement that was set off in Britain can also be represented by the enclosure movement, is it a manifestation of the power of capital? Forests have been bulldozed, trees have been bulldozed, and large clearings have been turned into grazing pastures, so it's no wonder that there is no soil erosion.

It's just that Britain is an island country, and it receives much more rainfall than China's northwest interior. Therefore, the harm is much smaller in reality.

On the one hand, Chen Ming wants to close the mountains in Shanxi to cultivate forests, but on the other hand, he is really reluctant to give up the big coal fields on the Loess Plateau.

Shanxi, Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia, where coal resources are not too abundant.

However, what are the consequences of large-scale coal mining, Chen Ming is well aware of the enormous force of that danger. He also really understands that many times the 'heart' of capital in pursuit of profits really dares to take the imperial court's orders as a fart.

Newton's words do not contain a kind of warning, do not underestimate the power of capital. Although the national conditions of China and Britain are completely different, if Chen Ming really thinks that he can make thousands of capitals bow down to his orders with one sentence, he will have fun.

This phenomenon continued until Nanjing officially ordered a series of pilot projects to be carried out in Pingyang Prefecture in Shanxi, although several practices were too much in the eyes of many people to prevent free-range sheep from being raised in captivity, and not to allow firewood to be burned and coal burning. Chen Ming didn't need to show his strength, and this matter went on like this. It also made the whole of China have a new topic to discuss in September and October.

……

"Second brother, what did you tell us, what is the production team?"

In Jizhou, the westernmost part of Pingyang Prefecture, in a small village on the edge of Gaotian Mountain, the township official Ge Er pointed to a few naughty children and drove them away, and said loudly: "I came today to tell you what is called the production team." ”

Jizhou is known as a small Huizhou in Pingyang, because the area of agricultural land here is too small, and there are 200,000 acres of any field. In later generations, Chen Ming saw on TV that he planted two corns in a palm-sized place, which is a true portrayal of many places in Jizhou, but the population here has reached 1340,000.

This place is located on the east bank of the middle reaches of the Yellow River, at the southern end of Luliang Mountain in Shanxi. It is bounded by Stone Mountain, Jingangling and Gusha Mountain in the east, and borders Puxian County and Linfen; It is bordered by the Yellow River in the west and across the river from Yichuan County in Shaanxi; It is bounded by Zhangjian in the south and is connected with Changning Town, Xiangning County; It is bounded by a gully in the north and is adjacent to Daning County. It has long been known as "Qin-Jin Tongheng".

If you can't form a concept yet, then Hukou Waterfall should always know, right? Hukou Waterfall is in this place!

What should I do if there is less land in Jizhou? The local people had to go and do business. It is similar to the original motivation of the Hui merchants, but it is far less big than the Hui merchants. This place is just on the traffic lifeline between Shanxi and Shaanxi, and there are still a lot of conveniences.

"Our Pingyang Mansion will be different in the future. The imperial court has newly issued an order that in the next few years, we will cut less firewood and burn briquettes. Ah, you've all paid attention to that, burn briquettes. After I go down and walk around, who wants me to see the big branches and big branches cutting down the trees again, and see if I don't put you in the detention center. "Of course, Ge Er knows that what he says is a little different from the 'facts', but with the common people who don't know a few big characters below, you can't talk nonsense with them, and a few blind vernaculars.

To scare and scare, the detention center is Ge Er's biggest magic weapon. Anyway, his reputation has long been 'bad' in this village, is the iron mask selfless, this is the village where his brother-in-law is. "In the future, you are only allowed to pick up dead leaves and branches that fall to the ground, and you are not allowed to cut down trees, do you hear clearly? I don't know where there are trees outside the village in this village, I will go to the woods from time to time to look, and if I see the seal, the village will have to give it to me. When the time comes, don't say I'm not emotional.

It's all for your own good. This is to conserve soil and water, you know what soil erosion is, right? I've just told you about it for a few days, so I can't be so unremembered, right?

This tree can no longer be cut down, and next year we will plant trees, and every household will plant trees for me, and we will also plant trees on the mountains. The saplings will be sent out from above, and you will not be allowed to work in vain. Otherwise, sooner or later, there will not be a single grass in this place, and it will all become a desert, and it will be all sand. ”

"How can I afford to buy briquettes?" The people below are all in a rage, honeycomb coal has long spread in Shanxi, this place is too rich in coal resources, and the development of honeycomb coal is amazing. But no matter how cheap it is, it costs money.

"Why don't you have money to buy briquettes? Production team, see no, production team. Ge Er struck the gong fiercely and said loudly, his mouth spitting stars.

"Do you know what a production team is? The production team is to let you form a team by yourself and go to the construction site to make money. ”

"In recent years, what we have lacked in Pingyang is labor. You people are idle like gods all day long, and as soon as the little farm work in the field is done, you are all planning to go to winter, aren't you? ”

"I'm telling you, this winter, you want to be so comfortable."

"Coal mines need to employ people, and people are also needed to build silt dams. As long as you put in the effort, you can make money. This silt dam is to build a dam at the outfall of the sewer to stop all the soil, and it will not be long before it will be silted into a fertile field. When the ground is silted, crops and trees can be planted. "Actually, there are silage ponds, but this place is so poor that the whole village raises sheep. The largest landlord has only eleven acres of land in his hands.

In the north of the village, in front of a cave, Ge Dani was looking up, holding a dustpan with yellow millet in her hand. In the courtyard, a donkey was pulling a stone grinding disc, and a hardcover man was looking at the grinding disc.

"It's almost dark, what's going on with these two bastards? Not back yet. ”

"What are you worried about, how old you are, and you can get lost. Hurry up and get cooked. ”

At lunchtime, the brother-in-law gave himself a good talk about the 'production team', which Liang Darong understood, but he was just not sure in his heart. If this production team pulls it up by itself, how can it be manipulated if it can't control people......

The people's sentiment in Pingyang Prefecture, Shanxi, before Chen Ming knew it, the local officials and township officials were already about to turn the rural production team into a contractor...... (To be continued.) )
