In the first year of Yongchang, in mid-September, Wei Shuo officially announced that he would move from Xiangguo City to Luoyang. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Now the reconstruction of Luoyang has come to an end, and it is estimated that in another year, the overall construction will be completed, when a new Luoyang city will stand on the land of the Central Plains.

"Greetings to the king!" The Sizhou civil and military forces led by Xue Xing went out of Luoyang City twenty miles to welcome Wei Shuo's arrival.

"Hahaha, you don't have to be polite, please get up quickly."

Wei Shuo stepped forward and picked up Xue Xing, who had been conscientious since taking office, and successfully completed the important task assigned by the Pastoral Mansion to the Assassin Mansion to build a new Luoyang.

"Congratulations to the lord on winning the title of King Yan."

"Hahaha, to be honest, this prince is not my glory alone, it is the result of the joint efforts of everyone in Liaodong."

"The lord is too modest, if it weren't for you to turn the tide, maybe we would still be the ministers of the dead country now."

Not long after Wei Shuo arrived in Luoyang, the high-level civil and military leaders of Liaodong led by Pei Wei and Gao Zhan, as well as the assassins of Hebei, Yanyu and Xu, also rushed to Luoyang.

The recovery of the territory north of the Huai River in Hebei, Yan, Henan, and Xuzhou has brought obvious benefits to Liaodong, the first of which is the addition of nearly 7 million people, but it has also brought many social problems to Liaodong.

Due to the continuous wars in the Central Plains and Hebei, the local people's livelihood has withered, and the people are miserable.

Even if Shile has vigorously developed people's livelihood with the assistance of Zhang Bin, it is not to say that the living standards of the people are far inferior to those of Liaodong, even compared with the Taikang period.

In order to restore the economic level of the most core area of China as soon as possible, Wei Shuo not only took the initiative to stop the war on the Huai River, but also summoned the high-level leaders of Liaodong and the four prefectures to gather in Luoyang City to discuss economic development plans.

It stands to reason that after many times of planning economic development plans, this matter is not a difficult matter for the top and bottom of Liaodong, and there is no need to make a big deal about it. In fact, every time planning economic development is the top priority for Liaodong, because as a modern person, Wei Shuo knows very well that there can be no mistakes in economic development, otherwise the price paid is likely to be unbearable for Liaodong.

The planning of the economic development of the four states is complicated, and Wei Shuo, Pei Wei, Mo Han and others decided to start with the agricultural layout, which is the area that everyone is best at and most familiar with. Originally, I thought it would not be difficult, but after summarizing some information, Wei Shuo realized that the problem was far from being as simple as he thought.

The four prefectures have always been large grain producers, and most people believe that with the stabilization of the situation, the four prefectures will become the largest grain producing area in eastern Liaoning in the future. Originally, grain prices in eastern Liaoning were not high due to the impact of high-yielding crops, but once agriculture in the Central Plains recovers in the future, grain prices in eastern Liaoning will certainly drop by a large margin, and this will inevitably affect peasants' incomes.

Regarding everyone's worries, I saw Pei Wei suddenly walking to the side and writing and drawing on the desk.

Wei Shuo's curiosity suddenly rose, he leaned to Pei Wei's side, looked carefully, and saw that planting and breeding were written horizontally on the paper, and under this, Pei Wei began to list various species.

"Wheat, rice, corn, sweet potato, millet, soybean, sorghum......" Wei Shuo couldn't help but whisper.

After making the list, Pei Wei thought about it, and then put pen to paper under the names of each species, marking the yield per mu of each species.

After about a quarter of an hour of busy work, Pei Wei stopped his brush, looked up at Wei Shuo and said, "My lord, the minister thinks that different species planting areas can be divided in the four states to avoid the sharp drop in the price of a certain grain due to the large number of planting the same species. ”

"Wen Ji knows that individual farmers are not controlled by the government, and they can plant whatever they want, so what can be done to achieve the division of planting species?"

"You don't need to be so meticulous, as long as there are differences in the priorities of each state, you don't even need to manage ordinary farmers, as long as you manage the big farms under the name of the government and the farms in the hands of major families."

"In addition, I thought that we could also combine planting and breeding."

Hearing this, Wei Shuo's eyes lit up, and he looked at Pei Wei and said approvingly: "Yes, this suggestion is good." ”

"My lord, due to the abundant water resources in the Central Plains, the local government can fully encourage farmers to plant rice, and most of the rice needed under the rule of Liaodong is purchased from Nanyang and Jiangdong, and if rice is popularized on a large scale in the Central Plains, it will definitely reduce the dependence on Nanyang rice. This is also an adjustment and choice, after all, the yield of rice is higher than that of grains such as wheat. ”

"And limited to the weak ability of wheat to resist natural disasters, we should reduce the planting area of wheat and increase the planting area of drought-resistant and drought-tolerant species such as corn and sweet potatoes."

Wei Shuo pondered while listening, and when he heard this, he hurriedly added: "The yield of wheat still needs to be guaranteed, although corn and sweet potatoes have high yields and strong resistance to natural disasters, but the taste cannot be compared with wheat and rice. In the long run, ensuring the output of wheat and rice will still be the focus of Liaodong's agricultural policy in the future. ”

After listening to Wei Shuo's words, Pei Wei stood up, pointed to the map and said: "Let's not talk about rice, then you need to find a suitable place, as for wheat, these states and counties can basically be planted." Since the lord emphasized the importance of wheat, the pastoral government could expand the cultivation area of wheat to 30 million mu. ”

"The remaining half of the land is used to grow rice, corn, sweet potatoes, cereals, soybeans and other grains. In view of the fact that there is no history of rice cultivation in the north, it is necessary to invest resources in trial planting in the early stage. If we can find a rice variety that can be grown in the north, it will greatly promote the popularization of rice in the north. ”

It wasn't until Pei Wei finished speaking on behalf of the pastoral government that Wei Shuo continued: "The suggestion of the pastoral government is very good, I only add one point, when the government promotes grain planting, don't forget to encourage the people to plant fruit trees and vegetables, so that farmers can have more choices." ”

"At present, we are only envisaging the layout of agriculture, and the things just mentioned by Wen Ji are very important and need to be implemented well. In addition, Liaodong has always paid attention to taking precautions, so don't think about planting things, but also consider what to do after planting. ”

"I hope that the pastoral government can do a survey to see which workshops and businesses in Liaodong are purchasing various agricultural products, and once agricultural production in the Central Plains recovers, can the major workshops and businesses meet the demand? These need to be prepared in advance. ”

"The grain production and processing industry is a major event related to people's livelihood and survival, and I don't want the situation that food is produced in Liaodong but cannot be effectively transformed into related products. At present, the grain processing technology in eastern Liaoning is too low-level, and the pastoral government must increase investment in the grain processing industry and strive to make a technological breakthrough at an early date. ”

The agricultural plan has been preliminarily finalized, and industry and commerce have become relatively simpler, after all, the four prefectures of Hebei, Henan, and Xu are major agricultural states, so they naturally put agricultural development in the first place. After discussion, the Mufu initially added five new regional commercial centers in Yecheng, Luoyang, Xuchang, Xindu and Pengcheng.

It is not difficult to ensure that the commercial center is built, as long as the roads are unimpeded and the logistics links are increased, with the heritage of the five major cities, it will not be long before it will become the commercial center of the Central Plains and Hebei.

No one thought that the road planning in the economic planning of the four states was the simplest, and it was only necessary to extend the roads of Guanzhong and Youzhou to the Central Plains. For example, the overland Silk Road stretches from Luoyang in the west to Qingdao Port in Qingzhou in the east; It starts from Fanyang, Youzhou in the north, runs through Jizhou and Yanzhou in the south, and reaches the north-south traffic straight road of Ruyin City, Yuzhou.

In order to formulate a blueprint for the economic development of the four states, Wei Shuo discussed with his staff for more than half a month before completing it. Liaodong first adjusted according to the blueprint in Jizhou, and in order to avoid accidents, Wei Shuo personally wrote to the local government and asked everyone to carry out economic development in accordance with the regulations.

On this blueprint for the development of the four states, Liaodong plans to sow 7 million mu of corn, 10 million mu of sweet potatoes, 30 million mu of wheat, and 1 million mu of miscellaneous grains. In addition, there are about 100,000 acres of rice experimental fields, which are almost all over the Central Plains, so as to find suitable areas for rice planting.

"Ladies and gentlemen, although the four prefectures of Hebei, Yan, Henan and Xu are traditional agricultural areas, they are almost all located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, and they are the areas most severely affected by natural disasters in the Great Jin Dynasty. Especially on both sides of the Yellow River, floods occur almost every year. ”

"Therefore, Liaodong needs to vigorously renovate water conservancy facilities in the four prefectures, especially the flood control on both sides of the Yellow River."

Water conservancy has always been a project that Liaodong attaches great importance to, and the people of Liaodong, including Wei Shuo, are very clear that whether water conservancy facilities are perfect or not is related to whether agricultural production can be successfully completed, especially in ancient times when the level of productivity was extremely low, water conservancy construction was the top priority.
