Chapter 117: Eight Hundred Miles of Dongting
In fact, Li Er himself is also inclined to crown Li Hao as the founding county, and Li Hao's life experience and merits are enough. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAfter all, Li Hao's father died in the Tang Dynasty, and since the death of Empress Changsun, this is also the best news Li Er has heard during this time.
The grain yield per mu is more than ten stones, which is undoubtedly a great news for the people and the emperor at this time. Because this may mean that Datang will no longer have to worry about running out of food in the future.
What's more, Li Hao not only provided several high-yield crops, but also invented the cylinder car and the curved plow. Both of these things are worthy of reward, one for easy irrigation, and the other for speeding up the speed and time of cultivating the land.
Half a month later, when Li Er got the exact news from Tanzhou Mansion, he put the news on the court to discuss it again. This time, no one objected to Li Hao being named the founding county, and they all agreed and passed unanimously. There may be some who oppose it, but they are also suppressed by the general trend.
"This kid, I can't suppress it in the future." Even Li Xiaogong and Li Jing, who had been silent, looked at each other and smiled bitterly, the two of them still wanted to wait for Li Hao to join the army when he was older, maybe this kind of promotion would be better for Li Hao.
You must know that Li Mansion is now a descendant of Li Hao, and the two have been hesitating whether to send Li Hao to the army for meritorious service. There are no eyes for guns and arrows in the army, and no one can guarantee that there will be an accident, but I didn't expect Li Hao to take another way to rise up.
At this time, these officials of Datang not only saw the real appearance and data of those high-yield crops, but also saw the samples of Quyuan plows and cylinder cars, but they did not expect these two small things to be so magical.
Along with these things, there are also the first and second volumes of an agricultural book written by Li Hao. The above details how to increase grain production in Tanzhou and Chang'an, as well as the application of new technologies and new crops in these two places, speak with real data.
More importantly, Li Hao can not only cure intestinal carbuncles, but also treat pot-bellied disease and some plagues in the south. This has been completely confirmed on the Tanzhou side, and even Sun Lao Immortal has been attracted to it.
This is undoubtedly another good news for the imperial court. Because this means that the development of the area south of the Yangtze River can also be improved, the population there will also usher in an explosive growth, and Datang will become stronger again.
By this time, no matter how unwilling he was, no one dared to oppose a teenager becoming the founding county. After Li Er received these news, he immediately made a decree to go to Tanzhou Mansion, so that Li Hao and Li Ke would return to Chang'an at the end of the year to accept the matter of conferring knighthoods and conferring official titles.
At this time, Li Hao and his group happened to arrive at Dongting Lake. He didn't know that he had become the founding county, and he had a lot of land and tenants, and he had become a meritorious family of the Tang Dynasty.
Although Chang'an is an official everywhere, there are not many young people who are so young and still rely on themselves to get the knighthood. This is all worth showing, but Li Hao doesn't know now, he cares about the situation of the big lake in front of him.
Dongting Lake is famous as the land of fish and rice, and the surrounding area is extremely rich in various products. This was the case in later generations, and at this time the goods were actually a little more abundant, because there were not many people. However, the development efforts are not as great as those of later generations, and they are not as famous as later generations.
The water conservancy project here is also carried out around the lake area, but there is no large-scale construction. The financial, material, and manpower resources involved in this, as well as the region, are not something that can be done now, and it is also related to the flood control and drainage of the Yangtze River.
Li Ke is now just the governor of Tanjiang and Hongjiang, plus Yuezhou. The water conservancy construction of the entire Dongting Lake area not only includes these places, but also the Yangtze River on the side, which is the economic region of the Yangtze River in later generations, which is not Li Ke's authority.
The flood control and drainage project of the entire Yangtze River involves too wide and too wide. If you want to transform, you must cooperate with the whole process, and you can't tear down the east and make up for the west like the original history, and finally toss the left pit and the right disaster of the Yangtze River, and no one gets any benefits.
"Eight hundred miles of Dongting! It's so delicious! "Li Hao came here naturally can't miss all kinds of delicious food here, the scale of Dongting Lake at this time is much larger than that of later generations, and it is also rich in all kinds of freshwater fish and shellfish, so there are not too many delicious ingredients to make it.
"We've had a good time coming here this time, I even brought a lot of ingredients here, just to eat the special food here, many of which can't be eaten elsewhere." Li Hao smiled with Wu Shun in the carriage and ushered in two smiles.
Li Hao can cook delicious food and loves to eat delicious food. The people who followed Li Hao knew that Wu Shun and Niuniu naturally knew his thoughts. When he came here this time, Li Hao brought two sisters, and then a few teenagers.
Ah Chou was originally going to come over, but later stayed here in Tanzhou to preside over daily affairs, and did not come with him. The few teenagers who followed Li Hao were also Li Hao's disciples, and they could help Li Hao do a lot of things.
They can do things to check the accounts and cook food, and their skills in riding and shooting are not bad. Niuniu is a lot taller than when she first came to Li's Mansion, and she is becoming more and more beautiful, this is a beauty embryo.
This girl's mind is all on Ah Chou, and everyone in this Li Mansion knows it. Ah Chou's mind is similar, and Ah Chou recognized Li Hao as the master for her sake.
Li Hao naturally won't dismantle this pair of mandarin ducks, and when they are old enough for two years, they will be allowed to marry. Niuniu is now following Wu Shun to learn to make accounts, and she is also learning medical skills with Li Hao, which is very necessary. In the future, many women can only let Niuniu come to see a doctor, and Li Hao is inconvenient.
And in addition to Niuniu, Li has taken in a lot of girls. They also studied medicine with Li Hao and Lao Sun, and from time to time they also learned to deliver babies and take care of babies from some experienced stable women.
"Lang Jun seems to be familiar with this Dongting Lake?" After listening to Li Hao's introduction to Dongting Lake, Wu Shun asked a little curiously. It seems that his own Langjun has always been in Chang'an, how could he be so clear here.
"Of course I'm familiar with it, this Dongting Lake was called Yunmengze in ancient times, and it is the largest freshwater lake in my Datang today. There are many literati and scholars here who have left various records, how can they not know this place? ”
Li Hao smiled after listening to Wu Shun's words, he has been here several times in his later life, can he not be familiar? It's just that the area of this lake has shrunk a lot in later generations, and there have been many developments around it, how can there be the spirit of this 800-mile cave at this time? As for eating, it's more familiar.
At this time, Dongting Lake was indeed the largest lake in the Tang Dynasty, and it shrank a lot in later generations for various reasons. The main economic fish of Dongting Lake are carp, grass, carp, silver carp, bighead carp, bream, eel, mackerel, herring, etc., and whitebait is its famous product.
