Chapter 539: Roaring Big Case

Li Chen had to send 20,000 to 40,000 people to be stationed in Bohai, and about 3,000 soldiers and horses to each Kyoto. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info military expenses have to be borne by Bohai, which is simply the emperor of Bohai State. If he wants to go east, the Bohai people will not dare to go west, otherwise the army will overwhelm the border.

It can even be said that the soldiers are not bloody, and the soldiers and horses of Wujing, as long as they are stationed at one city gate, the defense of the Bohai State is equal to zero. Directly open to Datang. Even, without the Tang Dynasty sending troops, these tens of thousands of people alone are enough to clean up the Bohai Kingdom.

And the military expenditure for this maintenance is like a big mountain, pressing on the heads of the Bohai people. Even if the Tang Dynasty only garrisoned 20,000 people, this cost may be even more amazing than maintaining the original 40,000 people in the Bohai Sea. During this period, Datang also showed the military might of Datang to these envoys.

Datang's firearms are powerful, and everyone wants to try to buy some from Datang, even if they are not Datang's opponents, they can bully the surrounding forces. However, Datang showed no signs of exporting at all, but sold a lot of expensive armor and weapons to them.

These armors are made of fine iron, and the weapons are also extremely sharp, but the price is also rising along with the quality. Li Chen is determined to ensure the quality, but the price is also leveraged. The arms trade is the most profitable, but the production of Datang iron ore is increasing year by year. The open-hearth steelmaking method is also an astonishing output, what to build weapons and equipment, there are water power and steam engines, and the quality is good, and the speed is guaranteed.

As for selling weapons, will it make these nomads increase their strength and eventually burn themselves, but it will pose a threat to Datang. Li Chen will say that if he thinks too much, that kind of armor can't stop Datang's musket at all. As firearms become used, the role of armor becomes weaker and weaker, and it can also hinder movement.

The heavy armor not only can't stop the musket from firing, but also causes inconvenience due to the weight and the parts of the equipment. The armor will definitely be eliminated, if it weren't for the enemy who is facing some cold weapons, in order to appease those soldiers and give them a sense of security, Li Chen wants to eliminate the armor. Therefore, selling armor and swords to those nomads, Li Chen was not worried at all.

And although Bohai can't buy that kind of powerful thunder, just looking at the cost of these weapons, you know that the thunder is definitely not cheap. Now the cost of the Tang Dynasty's naval garrison in Bohai is borne by the Bohai people, and it is conceivable that this cost is definitely much higher than maintaining the army of the Bohai people.

Not to mention, the Tang army is so extravagant that each has its own horse, and the infantry army has one horse per person. Light cavalry, two horses per man, heavy cavalry, three horses per man. The raising of horses alone is enough to make Bohai unbearable.

Bohai also produces horses, but military horses have to be raised, which is different from ordinary horses. Exercise from time to time, and feed well. Bohai's domestic horses are not as extravagant as Datang. Moreover, according to Li Chen, the Tang Dynasty is equipped with troops stationed in Bohai, even if it is an infantry army, they are all one person and two horses, one on horse, and one on load. Hearing this, Da Changhui had plans to faint.

Crying poor? Datang is also very good, will send caravans, and the Datang army will also protect them. If Bohai is short of financial resources, he can sell special products to Bohai, and these caravans will be responsible for transporting the goods back to Datang for sale.

'Roar, I Bohai will never accept it. Da Changhui roared, the tiger's body was shocked, domineering, and the Tang Emperor was shocked, and bowed his head.

Of course, this is his delusion, these days, I have listened to a lot of Datang stories, and many of them are fragments, which sound very enjoyable. Although I don't understand why it's called Xiaobai, is there still Dabai, but it doesn't prevent him from understanding.

For this kind of beforehand, it's very good. But in retrospect, it's very empty, and he feels that the protagonist's enemies are all brain-dead novels, he really can't stop, while scolding the author for having no common sense, and because he can't stand liking, he still listens to it often, but he was influenced by those, so he learned to be delusional.

Fortunately, he just thought about it, and he could only accept it helplessly. Datang is trying to squeeze the Bohai Sea dry, and this Bohai Sea is also a lot of specialty, but they shipped it to Datang to sell it and buy it with the Datang caravan, and the price difference is not known how much.

Not to mention being garrisoned, he has to bear economic exploitation, this king is boring. But he could only bear it. How else could it be? It's better to have something than to have it.

However, just because he thinks so doesn't mean that others can tolerate it. Jin Shixun, yelling, really yelling, 'The Tang Dynasty deceived me and there was no one in the Bohai Sea.'" Then he rushed to a pillar in the main hall and stretched out his hand to hug it, "I, Jin Shixun, cannot save the situation for Bohai, and I am humiliated by this, and I am ashamed of the king, and I will be loyal to Bohai today." ”

As he spoke, he was about to crash to death on the main hall. However, after all, you are old and there is too much nonsense, and if you go directly to hit the pillar, it may not be able to stop you. However, after he said this, the guards in the hall couldn't react, and Li Chen would fire them all.

As a result, before he could hit it, he was dragged away by the guards. Jin Shixun looked like a mad tiger, struggling desperately, his head was scattered, his boots fell off, and he was finally knocked out by the guards and dragged away.

Jin Shixun's appearance, and Da Changhui's messy appearance, let several prime ministers sympathize, just when the two entered the palace, the demeanor is still good, Da Changhui has many years of experience in studying in the country, and Jin Shixun is also full of poetry and books. Bohai was influenced by the Tang Dynasty, and it was the most important official to have the most important manners, and those in high positions were not vulgar and ugly. Of course, after Li Chen ascended the throne, he abolished this attribution.

Compared with the wind instrument just now, and compared with the crazy appearance now, it is embarrassing. However, the butt decides the head, as the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, of course, he has to think about the Tang Dynasty. The garrison in the Bohai Sea helped Datang stabilize northern Xinjiang. With Bohai to bear the military spending, the burden will be much easier for Datang.

Otherwise, tens of thousands of people are stationed in the Bohai Sea, and the burden on the land of Qilu and Youzhou is too heavy, especially in Youzhou, which is being rebuilt, and the civil losses are very large, so it is a good thing to be able to reduce a burden.

It's good for Datang, it's not good for Bohai, and it's even worse for Khitan. The Tang Dynasty later sent 20,000 troops to the Bohai Sea, and there were 20,000 on the border, which made the Khitan frightened, and they did not dare to send troops to attack Mu Wei and others, so they could only passively bear it, and the surrounding forces had to be encroached upon, and the suffering was unspeakable.

Look, this is the result of applying fertilizer. The young official arrived at the scene, apologized to a few people who had been waiting for her for a while, and began to introduce her. It's not that he's going to be late, he's coming on time.

The reason why these farmers will arrive early is because they are all looking at the sky, probably. And he was looking at pocket watches. This kind of pocket watch is still a luxury item, and many people can't afford it, but he will have it, that is, because Li Chen is a reward for civil servants, and officials can buy one at cost price, so he got a piece.

Ordinary people, I am afraid that it will take two or three years to tighten their belts when they buy one. Therefore, even though large bell towers have been set up in many cities, people are still accustomed to looking at the sky instead of looking at clocks. Not to mention pocket watches, at present, even clocks and watches are not affordable for ordinary people.

'Wow, that's a lot of production. ''Really, this fertilizer works really well.'' ''This dish grows really well, it looks good, and the price will be very good.'' The peasants were talking about it.

Young officials began to explain the use of this fertilizer, which is nitrogen fertilizer. As we all know, nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus are the elements of plant growth. Li Chen used to refine a lot of coking coal, and one of the by-products was ammonia, which can be used as a source of fertilizer for crops.

However, Li Chen didn't understand how to use this at all, he didn't learn agriculture. Therefore, Li Chen asked Sinong Temple to start the experiment. After so many years of experimentation, the results have also been tested. This fertilizer seems to have a better effect on vegetables and crops in the seedling stage.

In simple terms, it is a leaf fertilizer that promotes the growth of branches and leaves, which is very helpful. However, you can't spray too much, otherwise it will backfire, because the leaves grow too well, but it will delay flowering and fruiting, and the gains outweigh the losses.

'It's nitrogen fertilizer, er... Why is it called nitrogen fertilizer because several elements are needed for plant growth. This is one of a kind. The official spitted and tried his best to introduce various fertilizer uses, over the years, Sinong Temple has not been given in vain, and some fertilizers have been used, in addition to ammonia, lime is also a kind of. There are also various green manure effects.

"Look, this is Tian Jing, you have to let him grow up, a bit like a radish, you can wait for him to grow up, dig it out and eat it." Otherwise, it is shoveled and directly used as green manure. After a pause, the official said solemnly, "Be careful not to shovel it too late, otherwise it will be very laborious, and shovel it while it is still very tender." ’

Tian Jing, this is also the result of Li Chen's sailing. This is not a native species of China, but was introduced from Southeast Asia. It's a bit like a mimosa. I don't know when it was introduced to China, anyway, it is now being introduced by Li Chen.

This plant has many uses. It can be used as pasture, some people use it for medicinal purposes, seeds and young leaves can be eaten, it can also be used to make rope, and of course, the main thing is to be used as green manure. The results are amazing, and after experimentation, this green manure can grow crops by 10%.

It is very helpful for Datang to start the current implementation of the rice-wheat rotation system to obtain land, whether it is used as a crop, and it is very suitable for green manure during the intermittent period.

'Xiucai, do you remember?' Next to Fang Crutch, a person gently pushed him with his elbow, this time it was no longer called Fang Crutch, it became a Xiucai.

After Fang was lame, his parents managed to get him into school. As a result, I knew a few words, but because of my poor family, I couldn't afford to continue my education. I originally wanted to go into the city to see that I could find a bowl of rice to eat through literacy.

But because of his lameness, he was looked down upon, and finally went home to farm. However, because of his literacy, he was called Xiucai. It's not that he was really admitted to Xiucai, but to ridicule him, it's useless to learn so many words.

However, with the rise of the Datang newspaper industry, reading newspapers has become the greatest enjoyment for farmers. The number of newspapers is increasing, and the content is getting richer and richer. Reading the newspaper becomes a pleasure.

In particular, some old newspapers were sold cheaply, and the peasants who went to the city would buy a few copies and ask the literate to read them. This made Fang Kidnappers a lot more elevated.

I'll remember it, and I'll tell you about it later. Fang Zhizi nodded, he was very grateful to his parents, he saved money to let him go to school, these years, even farming must be literate, otherwise persuade the agricultural judge to explain to everyone, many people can't understand.

Like this fertilizer, it is written how to use, precautions, everyone also thinks it is very easy to use, save money this year, and the harvest can be much better next year, but it is too little, and it is not easy to buy.

But this fertilizer, illiterate people can't understand how to use it, as if they know that there is treasure in the field, but they lack a hoe, can't dig it out, it's really worrying.

'Go, whatever.' The person who had just been at odds with Fang Xiucai muttered dissatisfiedly. In these years, even farming has to be literate, and people are not allowed to live. However, he also made up his mind, it doesn't matter if he can't read, he wants his son to be literate, the Taoist temple is not easy to enter, and the Buddhist temple has to be accepted. If the frieze is full, then he will go to the city and buy children's books for his son, and it will be a great loss if he is illiterate.

In recent years, all over the country, primary schools have to be set up, in full swing, and Buddhists have also learned Taoism to carry out reforms, set up primary schools, and recruit children to study for free. However, due to financial reasons, the number of places available each year is limited.

'It's a lupine, everybody sees it, and it's very helpful for tea raising. The same scene is changed to Chashan, and the agricultural judge is promoting another green manure crop.

It's beautiful, it's a bean, and it's all about the seeds and roots. It can be eaten by humans, but it is recommended to raise poultry. ’

The most important thing is, look, Chashan is very suitable for this kind of bean, not only beautiful, but also has the effect of fertilizing the field. The peasant judge pointed to a very beautiful flower, which opened like a feather fan and was brightly colored. This is a lupine.

China is also not producing, Li Chen imported from Africa. This crop is actually not as good as alfalfa, or the chickpeas we generally eat, but it is very suitable for tea planting, which is mostly acidic soil, which is very suitable for planting this leguminous plant.

Many tea farmers listened carefully to the farmer's instructions on how to plant, and only one tea farmer took a charcoal pencil and carefully recorded these words on a special kind of production paper that was convenient for recording. There are also many tea farmers around who are thinking that they should let their children go to school no matter what, even if they inherit the family business in the future.

At the end of the day, after listening to the agricultural judge introduce the latest farming techniques, Fang Abducted and went home. His wife had already prepared several newspapers for him, and this was the time when someone from the township had entered the city this morning and came back a little for Fang's abductor.

He took the newspaper, picked out the latest one, walked to the door of the house, and prepared to read it to the villagers after dinner.

As soon as the newspaper was opened, the headline was so big that it was printed, a big case, Fang Guizi was so angry that he scolded, these big clans are too lawless. No wonder the saints are angry, these people are so bold that they even dare to persuade the peasant judges. If you don't punish it well, how can you be.
