"This is a very prominent problem," Lin Fengxiang nodded, "At present, the pressure on Zeng Shuiyuan's side is getting bigger and bigger, with the northward advance of the army, the supply and transportation of grain and grass are big problems that cannot be ignored, and the hope of the future cannot be put on raising grain on the spot." β
Huang Zaixing put away the urgent information that had just been sent back from Guanzhong and picked up his job, "Agricultural development depends on the advantages of the geographical environment. The environment in Hanzhong and Hung Yen was good in the past, so crops naturally flourished. According to the locals, the 'Shetian' movement that began in the Tang Dynasty and the large-scale logging and repair of stacks in the Song Dynasty caused damage to the natural environment of the entire basin, but it was still slight from the perspective of Cheng dΓΉ. Later, in the Ming Dynasty, there were several waves of displaced people who poured into the Qinba Mountains, but due to proper resettlement, although the area of agricultural reclamation was expanded, the influence of the geographical environment was not very strict. After the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, especially during the period from Qianlong to Jiaqing, due to the lack of their own land, with the large-scale migration of millions of immigrants and the frenzied deforestation and indiscriminate deforestation and reclamation in the Qin and Ba mountain areas, the geographical environment around the basin deteriorated day by day, the number of forests in the mountainous areas decreased sharply, soil erosion was severe, rivers were silted, and flood disasters intensified. Some of the water conservancy facilities built in the past were even damaged, which led to the decline and depression of the agricultural economy in the Hanzhong Basin since Jiaqing. β
"Yes, you can't pass anything, and if you do, it will have the opposite effect." Zeng Jin sent Lin Fengxiang and Qin Rigang some dishes respectively.
"That's right," Lin Fengxiang nodded, "Guanzhong was also the granary of the Central Plains, and for a long time, it was still a very rich area. But since the 'Anshi Rebellion', it has gradually declined due to the repeated damage caused by wars. Especially since the Ming and Qing dynasties, the water conservancy construction in Guanzhong is very backward, in this period, not only did not build large water conservancy projects to facilitate the development of agriculture, but even the famous Zhengguo Canal in history was almost abandoned. Therefore, this place is often threatened by natural disasters, and a small drought in three years and a major drought in ten years has almost become an ironclad law. Unable to make full use of water conservancy resources, the Guanzhong region has lost its dominant position in history, and the so-called situation of 'the northwest is more difficult' and 'the northwest is not exhausted' has naturally formed. β
"Due to historical reasons, there are many handicrafts in Guanzhong, such as stone, ironware, papermaking, salt making, oil extraction, winemaking, food manufacturing, bamboo, leather, wool products, porcelain processing, etc., which are very varied, but most of them are not very developed. The main reason for this is the brutal plunder of the Manchu government, which destroyed the development of the handicraft industry here. Of course, another important reason is that the fathers and brothers in Guanzhong are not good at using resources and do not attach importance to handicrafts, which also causes the poverty and backwardness of Guanzhong's social economy. This situation also involves the trade sector. β
Huang Zaixing's old woman's mouth began to babble again.
"The Guanzhong area is rich in coal mines, and people in this area even call it the 'black belt' of Weibei. The history of coal mining here is early, and the number of coal mines in Guanzhong has been increasing during the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the so-called earth kilns are numerous. However, it is a pity that this kind of indiscriminate mining can only maintain the local coal consumption, and cannot use the coal mine to achieve the purpose of getting rich. His Highness has said that there are many things in the world that cannot be regenerated in a short period of time and cannot be wasted. Therefore, in order to reverse the poverty situation in the Guanzhong region, in the future, it is necessary not only to give all kinds of preferential treatment and support to the localities, but also to greatly develop water conservancy, and also to organize all garrison units to participate in the tuntian, and more importantly, to send all kinds of specialized personnel to the south to provide necessary technical support. The development of industry and commerce is encouraged, but the absolute unified management of mineral resources must be implemented, and all kinds of small-scale private exploitation are strictly prohibited. A similar policy applies to Longxi and most of the northwest. β
"It's still Brother Huang who said well, the economic development of Guanzhong and Longxi will directly drive all parts of the northwest." Lin Fengxiang nodded and breathed a long sigh of relief, "With the development of the war, we must also pay more attention to economic recovery and economic construction. We just want to show our brothers of all nationalities that our Han nation, our great Red Heavenly Kingdom, can not only destroy an old world easily, but also lead everyone to build a new world together. β
"Hehe, to be honest, I, Qin Rigang, seem to have been born to fight, and I really didn't pay much attention to these things in the past." Qin Rigang picked up the rice bowl, took two bites, and stared at Huang Zaixing, "Today's words from all of you, calling me Lao Qin is really a bit enlightened. Why did you fight for a long time? Isn't it just for the people of the world to have a truly prosperous life, well, when it's okay, it seems that you have to think more about these things. β
He paused, and then shook his head helplessly, "Alas, if my brother doesn't leave, it would be nice for us to be together all the time, and my old Qin will save a lot of heart." β
Huang Zaixing smiled and shook his hand again and again, "Mr. Qin said that he laughed, this idea of the little brother is just that he has been by His Highness's side for a long time, and he has been exposed to it." Your Highness still sees far away! When he was in Shanghai, His Royal Highness had already seen today. Starting from Guizhou, the economic construction and planning we engaged in along the way were all patiently taught to us by His Royal Highness little by little. β
"Your Highness is Your Highness, if you don't accept it, you can't accept it." Qin Rigang smiled and picked up a chili pepper, held his breath, and ate it in one bite, and immediately sweated profusely, "It's delicious." He screamed, and began to stomp his feet, clench his fists, and keep his mouth on and out.
Looking at his weird appearance, Lin Fengxiang and Huang Zaixing couldn't help laughing, Lin Fengxiang finally picked up the chili pepper that he had never dared to touch again on the plate, and took a small bite, "Ah, fragrant, hehe, we are all from the Northwest." β
"This doesn't count," Huang Zaixing looked at Lin Fengxiang and Qin Rigang with a smile, "Tomorrow we should take time out to eat the most famous noodles in Hanzhong, then we will be called real Northwest people." β
"Come on, come on, spare me." Qin Rigang shook his hand again and again, "My, still eat?" As soon as they saw that they had made that good thing red and mushy, and I didn't have to eat it, my scalp was about to prickle. Hehe, if you want to eat, you two go by yourself, I won't accompany you. I don't wait for tomorrow, I'm going to rush back overnight tonight. β
"Hehe, why are you in such a hurry, let's rest and rest." Lin Fengxiang looked at Huang Zaixing and smiled to dissuade Qin Rigang.
"No, I have to hurry, otherwise, Shi Xiangzhen's ghost guy's feet are too fast." Qin Rigang was eating a big meal, and he smiled hesitantly, "When we enter the Guanzhong, let's get together again, and the spicy ones will drink wine, drink it and get drunk, and see who climbs down first?" β
Finally finished eating, watching the guards clean up the empty plates and bowls, Huang Zaixing finally showed the information that Zeng Jinfa had brought back.
"As expected, the Hui-Han conflict in Guanzhong has begun," Huang Zaixing read the content of the intelligence word for word, looking at Lin Fengxiang and others, "It seems that the problem is much more complicated than we imagined." β
Something big did happen in Guanzhong.
It turned out that due to the rise of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Manchu Qing Dynasty raised regimental training in various places, which is what we often call the militia. Twenty days ago, a group of Hui Yong, who were originally from the same state and had been beaten to pieces by the Red 21st Army, went to a place called Xiaozhang Village in Shengshan, Huazhou (now Huaxian County), on the way back to their hometown like a lost dog.
A lush bamboo forest on the edge of the village attracted the attention of the Hui Yong. Maybe it was because there were no pursuers behind them, and the nature of liking business surged again, and seeing that the owner who was guarding the bamboo forest was young and not like a person who knew too much about the world, they began to bargain fiercely with the young owner of the bamboo forest, intending to transport it to the front and take the sheep to "make a big profit".
Who knows, just after the price was negotiated, when more than a dozen Hui Yong were cutting bamboo, the young master's father came.
Because the price given to the young master by the Hui Yong was too low, the old man couldn't accept it at all after learning the actual situation of selling the bamboo, so he thought of repenting. However, the old man could not blame his young son for not being able to do business, but instead took a very irrational act, framing Hui Yong, who was cutting bamboo, for stealing bamboo, and the two sides clashed.
At that time, according to the regulations of the local government and folk customs, once a robbery case occurred, it was necessary to "ring the bell to warn the police". There was a conflict between the buyer and seller of bamboo, and according to the owner's words, it was "stealing" rather than "buying", and it was natural to fight thieves.
What is even more coincidental is that the local regimental exercises gathered with the ringing of the bell were adhering to the will of Jingshou and other Manchu officials, pretending to be the armed forces of the people preparing for the uprising, claiming that in order to support the Celestial Empire government and welcome the Red Army into the Guanzhong, they distributed fake Celestial Dynasty posts everywhere, spread rumors, instigated the confrontation between the Han and the Hui people, and prepared for the Huazhou regimental training under Zhao Jinhu, who "killed all the Hui people" in Guanzhong.
In the face of this opportunity, Zhao Jinhu's group training was indiscriminate, and when he came up, he fought and killed eight Hui Yong who "stole bamboo" on the spot.
After Hui Yong, who suffered a loss, fled the scene, of course, he was a stomach full of grievances. The front almost became a ghost under the knife of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Red Army, no one is pitiful, buy some bamboo and want to make a fortune, but it was actually regarded as a thief, and eight lives were returned to Allah Allah in an instant. The remnants of Hui Yong fled into Huazhou City and went to the Huazhou government to complain and express their grievances, hoping that the government would uphold justice.
