Princess Taiping took a sip of the bright red liquid in the glass, felt very sweet and delicious, and couldn't help but say, "This is a sand melon?" ”

Pumpkin is watermelon, because it is drought-tolerant, even sandy land can be used to grow, so people call it sandmelon, the origin is African, the Tang Dynasty flowed into Xinjiang, the imperial court has been offered, and even in the two have been planted. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

However, Princess Taiping is not interested in the sandmelons she has eaten before, because they are neither sweet nor sandy, but the current sandmelons are super delicious.

"Yes, it's a sand melon." Tang Tian nodded.

"It's very good, but I've drunk it before,......" Princess Taiping said vaguely, she drank three cups in a row, only to feel that it was stuck in her throat, and she needed a sip of juice and a sip of white water to drink, super sweet and super sand super delicious!

It's a delicious delicacy in the world!

Tang Tian knew what she wanted to say, and told her: "They can't grow it legally, the growth of this sandmelon needs a big sun, and there are a lot of fertilizers, and we have a lot of fertilizers." ”

That is, a large herd of cattle and horses, and there is no developed agriculture here, so it is strange that there is not much fertilizer.

"Taught!" Princess Taiping immediately thought of using this method to plant sandmelons in her fields in the two capitals.

"Hey, how much cotton are you going to plant this year?" Princess Taiping asked.

"200,000 acres!"

"It's so little, I plan to plant 500,000 acres!" Princess Taiping sat up straight on the couch, the white greasy in her wide robe swaying like the waves of the Aral Sea.

It's huge, it seems that her husband has spent a lot of time on her! Tang Tian thought and said to Princess Taiping: "I am short of manpower, even children come in handy, how can there be so many people like you!" ”

Princess Taiping is rich in resources, such as manpower, in general, crops need more manpower when planting and harvesting, and less people are employed during the growth period, so Princess Taiping can hire short-term workers from Guanzhong, and a large number of short-term workers to help her work.

In ancient times, travel was not very convenient, and population management was also strict, except for merchants and soldiers, many people's whereabouts could not travel a hundred miles in a lifetime.

Princess Taiping is different, her face is big enough, and when she is cultivating and harvesting in the autumn, she will go to the customs to ask for short-term labor, pack it and take it away, and send it back as it is, not to rob the population. How dare the magistrate in the customs say nothing.

Gradually, many peasants in the customs have gone to work outside the customs, and their incomes are abundant, and they take part of the rent adjustment in their hometowns to pay for their hometowns, and there is still a surplus As a result, the migrant workers and Spring Festival transportation in the Tang Dynasty began to prevail from her. Migrant workers went to the Western Regions to build roads, grow crops and cotton, open mines, build, dig canals, support fronts, and so on.

Princess Taiping did things fairly and paid according to the price, attracting a large number of migrant workers to work for her.

With sufficient manpower, Princess Taiping opened her teeth and claws, wanting to do a big job, and said proudly: "500,000 mu this year, 1 million mu next year, and 2 million mu of cotton the year after next!" ”

"You grow so much, can you sell it?" Tang Tian said in surprise.

"Sell!" Princess Taiping said with a full plan: "Next year, the railway from Yumen to Bosten Lake (which is the focus of her development) will be opened, and then I will ask my husband to build the railway from Yumen to Chang'an, and I can sell as much cotton as I want." ”

Cotton is indeed a good thing!

In ancient times, people had fur in their warm clothes, nobles used tiger skin, mink skin, people used sheepskin, or cloth, they could wear it, but the quilt covered, the nobles could cover a bed of fur, but the people could not cover a bed of sheepskin, and it was difficult to burn the kang to keep out the cold, one was not so much fuel, and the other was dangerous (carbon monoxide poisoning).

Cotton can be put into clothes, become a cotton jacket, widely promoted, shelter the world's poor people are happy!

The key is that the Western Regions has enough sunlight and is very suitable for cotton production, which has great advantages over other places.

The area is remote, but it is not a problem to build a railway, and the trains departing from outside the customs are controlled by Princess Taiping, and her transportation costs are low.

"Plant too much, pay attention to prevent soil erosion, environmental changes!"

"Who said that?"

"What my husband said!"

"Oh!"

……

The two beautiful girls chattered and had endless intimate words.

Princess Taiping never dreamed that she would have such a good relationship with Tang Tian, and when she first got married, she wanted to kill Tang Tian.

In recent years, her firepower has decreased, her temper has improved a lot, and she even serves her husband with Tang Tian, feeling that she is simply not like the princess of the Tang Dynasty!

But with Tang Tian, I am really happy!

She needs a mother, a husband, children, a brother and a career, but she also needs best friends!

It is difficult for an ordinary woman to become her best friend, and many of them ask for her, want to get benefits from her, and even want to spy on her internal situation.

In this regard, Princess Taiping is vigilant and can come and go, but not deep friendship.

With her family background, ability and husband, she is very arrogant, and not ordinary people can be taken by her.

Tang Tian is different, she is peerless and independent, has her own career, and is still thriving, and she has nothing to ask for her.

Similarly, Tang Tian is also a very arrogant girl, although she is polite, she will not easily accept ordinary people as her friends in her bones.

The strength is equal, and Fang becomes a best friend.

……

The two girls spent their holidays comfortably on the shores of the Aral Sea, swimming and riding horses all day long, and they led each other's female guards to play polo, eat and drink, and be very happy.

If you go out, you will go together, eat and sleep together, just like sisters.

This place has become the focus of another strategy of Tang Tian, she brought out tens of thousands of people from the territory of Atami (Issyk-Kul Lake) to develop this place, plus tens of thousands of Hu people in Guishun (Guishun is a polite saying, Tang Tian was born in Hu, is a half-Hu people, and it is not soft to kill Hu people at all), they graze, grow wheat, cotton, grow fruits, and even build fishing boats to fish, so that Princess Taiping and Tang Tian can grill fish on the beach to eat.

The shores of the Aral Sea are deserted, but the land is fertile and abundant, and everyone is working with all their might.

Development began last year, and the land quickly changed its appearance, with magical cities rising, roads extended, fields lined up, orchards lined up, and irrigation canals abounding.

Because of the knowledge, the canal has a cement bottom to prevent leakage, and there are stone slabs to protect from the sun to avoid evaporation.

Although the population is still small, and at the current rate of development, there may be no environmental changes for a hundred years, but Tang Tian ordered that the development must protect the water and soil.

"I am from the Hu ethnic group, and I know more about harmony with the environment!" She whispered to Princess Taiping.

On the grassland, wolves will never be exterminated, they will not be shot out, and wolves will be used to prevent rats to protect the grassland.

Tang Tian knows this very well and has a very thorough understanding of environmental protection that Wei Xi talked about.

The two girls walked hand in hand in the emerging city, and all they heard was laughter and laughter, although Tang Tian was proud, Princess Taiping was honored.

The city is developed and the people are rich.

This is a good girlfriend who can match her!

……

Maybe their lives are too comfortable, and even God can't get used to their lazy appearance of Ge You, but on the eighth day of the ninth month, Princess Taiping and her mother in the Shendu were preparing to ascend the throne, and when there was a lot of uproar, Princess Taiping received bad news, which made her and Tang Tian's faces change in vain!

"Our army was defeated in the country of Huoxun, losing more than 5,000 cavalry, and Sun Saburo was killed!"

"The enemy has surrounded our old capital, and is fighting fiercely with our army under the capital of Kangguo, and the war of our army is temporarily unfavorable?!"
