Du He walked on the road of the early dynasty, and it had been half a month since he fought against Xue Rengui. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Du He did not let off his comprehension of martial arts because of the victory.

In his eyes, another world has appeared, a whole new world. As Qin Qiong said, a person can train the quality of ** to the peak, and can practice the moves to practice makes perfect, but he can never train the spirit to the peak.

The road of martial arts is endless, just like the strong to the strong.

After defeating Xue Rengui, he found Zhou Zhenwei again and told him about his understanding of this month.

Zhou Zhenwei was not happy or angry at that time, and slowly told him: "The door of martial arts has been opened with your efforts. But you must know that martial arts have always been superior and inferior, and opening the door of martial arts does not mean that you have become a master, but only by opening the door of martial arts and understanding martial arts can you become a master. If you want to see through and defeat stronger enemies, you must have the will, ** and skill to be worthy of the enemy. And in these aspects, you are far from me who has been tempered a lot. If you want to become a master who can beat me or my master, you must surpass the two of us in these three basic qualities, in addition to constantly honing and strengthening yourself, you must also improve through countless practical experience. ”

Zhou Zhenwei is very strong, his master, the world's number one hero and bearded guest, is stronger, if you want to defeat them, you must put in more efforts.

After all, there is not only one master in this world, Xue Rengui.

And what Duhe has to do is to go beyond.

Standing in the court, Li Shimin and his ministers discussed major matters about spring ploughing.

Spring ploughing is related to the foundation of a country and is the top priority of the Tang Empire at present. These days, when Du He was dealing with the affairs of Shangshu Province, he also revolved around the theme of spring ploughing, especially the cultivation of the Jiangnan generation.

This year is the first year of the widespread promotion of two crops of rice, and the Manchu Dynasty has attached great importance to it both civil and military. As the initiator, Du He did not dare to be sloppy.

Fortunately, the number one political leader in Jiangnan is Liu Renliang, and Du He is still very relieved about this later prime minister.

At this time, Li Shimin took a note, the original joyful expression suddenly changed, his eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, he put the fold on the desk, and said in silence for a while: "The history of the assassination of Dingzhou in the north, there is a note, saying that there is no rain in the local area in January, and the people may be impressed with this year's harvest, and the people are worried about it." What do you think about this? ”

For a while, the hall was silent.

Because of the lack of rain in autumn and winter, the evaporation of land moisture is particularly serious. If there is a drought in the rainy spring, it means that there is a continuous drought in autumn, winter and spring, which will bring fatal harm to the growth of crops. Therefore, there is a saying that spring rain is as expensive as oil.

There was no rain in Dingzhou in January, which was already an extremely serious drought.

But if it does not rain, it is an inevitable calamity, and how can man go against it?

In the face of Li Shimin's question, most of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty remained silent.

Wei Zheng stood up at this time and said, "Your Majesty, is such a drought in Dingzhou, or most of the northern regions. ”

Li Shimin said: "There is only one place in Dingzhou, and there is no drought in other places. ”

Hearing this, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military also breathed a sigh of relief.

The territory of Dingzhou is not small, but it is a drop in the ocean in the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Even if there is no harvest in the fields, with the harvest in other places, it is enough to make up for the lack of the people in Dingzhou. Moreover, if two crops of rice are implemented in the south this year, the harvest will be doubled, which is more than enough to cope with the drought in one prefecture and county.

Ye Zongyan, the chief farmer in charge of agriculture, stepped forward and said: "In the face of this drought, Wechen believes that we should make three plans. First, post notices to appease the people; Second, strictly supervise local businessmen, prohibit hoarding of grain and grass, and sit on the ground to raise prices. Third, the grain was transported to the barn near Dingzhou, which has been used for disaster relief at any time. ”

Ye Zongyan is as high as sixty this year, and his white hair trembles with his voice, which is a little funny, but no one in the Manchu Dynasty dares to underestimate this person.

Ye Zongyan was the champion of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, and he did not have a good background, but he had a heart of patriotism for the people. The imperial examination system of the Sui Dynasty was for the service of famous lords, so although Ye Zongyan was the champion, his official position was very low, and he was only a local county lieutenant. When he was the county lieutenant, Yuwen colluded with salt merchants for personal gain, raised the price of salt, and the people could not afford to eat salt.

Ye Zongyan pleaded for the people's life to no avail, and in a fit of anger, he bought a large bag of salt with all his money, poured all the salt on Yu Wenhua and his nephew, who were in charge of operating the private salt, pulled him and beat him severely, and stuffed the salt in his mouth. At that time, Yu Wenhua's nephew was meeting the widow privately, and he did not bring a guard by his side, so Ye Zongyan was poisoned alive with salt.

In ancient times, private salt was not processed in any way, and in order to increase profits, salt was mixed with many harmful things to the body. This salt is heated by fire and diluted by vegetables, which can reduce the harm, but this raw food is unbearable for the human body.

Ye Zongyan was also wanted by Yuwen Valve, but fortunately, the bearded guest and the red whisk girl passed by at that time and rescued Ye Zongyan. Ye Zongyan also lived in seclusion because of this, and did not ask about the world.

Later, when the Tang Dynasty was founded, Li Jiancheng heard the name of Ye Zongyan and invited him out of the mountain for the use of the Tang Dynasty.

As we all know, Li Shimin's throne is extremely disgraceful, and after he took the throne, in order to consolidate his own power, he purged those Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng's dead friends in the court and replaced them with his own henchmen. Only Ye Zongyan and Wei Zheng's individual princelings are exceptions.

Wei Zheng relied on his extraordinary talent for governing the world, while Ye Zongyan relied on his heart for the country and the people.

He is a minister who does the truth but does not ask for anything in return, although he is now sixty years old, but still like when he was young, as long as it is related to the livelihood of the people, he is absolutely unambiguous, and he is the kind of upright minister who dares to crash to death on the Jinluan Palace for the benefit of the people.

The three suggestions he put forward were also considered from the perspective of the people.

Li Shimin's face was displeased, "Before this drought happened, I was thinking about the arrival of the disaster." Should we say to take precautions, or not to make progress and deal with it hastily? Every time a disaster occurs, we think about how to help the disaster, but is there really no way to prevent it? Are we always in a passive situation? He is not against disaster relief, nor does he think that Ye Zong's speech is unreasonable, but he is an emperor who dares to think and do. He was reluctant to be bound by God, blindly dealing with all the problems that God threw at them.

"This ......" how can Ye Zongyan hope for the appearance of drought? He said with a bitter old face: "How can this man fight with the sky? ”

"Not necessarily!"

At this time, His Highness heard a rebuttal.

Li Shimin was in high spirits and heard that it was Du He's voice. In fact, he is not ignorant that it doesn't rain, and no one can force it to come, but as an emperor who reigns over the world, he just doesn't like to be restrained, and wants to fight with God who embarrasses him.

The appearance of Duhe means that a miracle is coming.

Du He's existence has brought him countless surprises.

Du He stood up, and as soon as he spoke, the feeling of anticipation immediately appeared on his face.

Ye Zongyan also moved, and hurriedly bent down to Du He and said, "Please teach Du Zuo Shilang, ......"

Zuo Shilang Zhong is Du He's current position, and he shines in the development of Jiangnan's government affairs. Li Shimin has promoted him to Zuo Shilangzhong of Shangshu Province and has become one of the core officials of Shangshu Province. His original staff member Wailang can only be regarded as a miscellaneous guy in the behemoth of Shangshu Province, and now he is still a member of the behemoth.

Ye Zongyan's official position is at the same level as the six Shangshu, and his official position is far above Du He, but now Du He's talent has been recognized by most of the civil servants.

In the face of Du He, who has repeatedly gone off the rails, Ye Zongyan also expects him to come up with a wonderful solution, and at this moment, he will not be stingy with a gift.

"Little Du Aiqing, talk about it quickly......" Li Shimin also couldn't wait to urge.

Du He saw that the eyes of the ministers were focused on him, and he stepped forward and said: "Back to Your Majesty, this manpower is indeed difficult to fight in the sky, it doesn't rain in the sky, you can't force it, but everything has a way to deal with it." The drought is due to the barley's need for rainwater. Without rain, it is difficult to survive, so why not change to a food plant that does not require a lot of water? Just like the cactus in the desert, the desert is arid, there is no water and no river, but the cactus on the road is still lush and unaffected by the environment. ”

Ye Zongyan was silent for a while and said, "This ...... What Du Zuo Shilang said is not reasonable, but agricultural food, nothing more than grains and grains, millet, beans, hemp, wheat, rice, these five crops, beans, wheat is the most drought-tolerant, now Dingzhou beans, wheat affected by drought, abnormal growth, can you expect other crops? ”

Du He smiled: "There are really no common knowledge crops, but I know a rare crop, which is more drought-tolerant than soybeans and wheat, and is a local crop brought by Zhao Hui, a cloud rider who came from the American continent, I call it a sweet potato, which can be widely planted and has a very high yield." I have done experiments in Jiangnan, sweet potatoes are harvested twice a year, and the yield of one mu of fertile soil is about 2,500 catties......"

Two thousand five hundred pounds!

Hearing this number, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty exclaimed in surprise.

Ye Zongyan's eyes widened, as a great farmer, he knew that the average yield of rice in the Tang Dynasty was only one stone, and one stone was less than three hundred and fifty catties. What is the concept that sweet potatoes are ten times more productive than rice?

Li Shimin laughed: "There are such good things, why didn't Aiqing say it earlier?" ”

Du He smiled bitterly: "In the past, Zhao Hui only brought a small amount, all of which were used to raise seedlings, and they were only a few acres of land. Nothing was certain about the yield, so it was not reported. Now that the sweet potato has been successfully planted in the fertile soil of the south of the Yangtze River, I planned to report it after the successful planting attempt in the dry land...... Now it seems that this Dingzhou can be the first stop to try dryland farming. Your Majesty, the minister is ninety percent sure that sweet potatoes will be able to succeed in Dingzhou. ”
