Originally, the Liao State was to be divided into two regions, one was the cultivation civilization and the other was the nomadic civilization.

Moreover, after careful analysis, Song Jiu came to a conclusion, that is, the fuzzy governance of the Liao State.

They subconsciously induced the people to settle down and farm, but they never forced them, which was the internal reason for the success of the two civilizations of the Liao State.

Therefore, starting from Youyun, all the way to Zhongjing, Shangjing, Liaodong, most of them are cultivated civilizations, but not completely cultivated civilizations, Youzhou is almost a complete cultivation civilization, and some half-cultivation and half-pasture phenomena gradually begin to appear after arriving in the mountains.

The further north you go, the heavier the proportion of semi-pasture, but after the Liao State defeated the Bohai State, it deliberately moved the people of the Bohai Sea, causing a civilization break. This is like the confrontation between Song and Jin in history, Jianghuai returned to the backward farming method of slash-and-burn cultivation due to war.

Therefore, Mr. Yuan's Jurchen civilization became more and more backward and closed, so the farming methods became backward with the passage of time, and in the case of cultivation could not maintain food and clothing, and because of the terrain and weather and other reasons, they could not be large-scale nomadism, so the Jurchen tribes also learned from the Murowei people in the north, half farming, half herding and half fishing.

And the crops are also somewhat different.

It's still a warm winter, and the weather is relatively warm, so you can even grow rice in the south of Youzhou, but the yield is a little low.

In the north, it's all wheat, millet and beans.

Even when it comes to the Jurchens, the proportion of wheat is not large, and it is dominated by soybean millet.

It wasn't until Song Jiu went to Liaodong that he intended to let Wu Xuanming introduce some excellent spring wheat seeds from Liao, and gradually there were more people planting wheat.

But that's not enough.

Why did the price of wheat and rice in the Song Dynasty differ more than three times? Is pasta so unpalatable?

It's really unpalatable.

The reason for this is shelling. The wheat hulling technique is not good, and there is a lot of wheat bran in it. So in the Song Dynasty, rice was much more expensive than wheat. If wheat is like this, let's not talk about sorghum millet.

In the case of beans, this is not the case. Its history as a food in China is even older, almost as old as sorghum, and wheat and rice came later. However, if you eat soybeans every day, you don't need to eat soybeans every day, even if you eat sweet potatoes every day, it will also make people sick to their stomachs.

However, Song Jiu has his own confidence.

That's rice.

Thanks to the alternate novel, he inadvertently saw the history of rice in Northeast China, that is, the cold-tolerant rice varieties introduced from the Wa Kingdom, which opened a new world of agriculture in Northeast China.

I used to go to Liaodong. After returning to the Song Dynasty, Song Jiu saw and heard it, so he imagined in his heart all kinds of governance situations in the Northeast.

Of course, in that case just think about it and can't say it, otherwise it will feel ridiculous.

For example, on the issue of nationality, what Song Jiu proposed was mutual affinity and integration. Equality, respect.

The Han people are not high, but they are not allowed to override the Han people, especially the punishment in history. Song Jiu also proposed that religion and national beliefs and customs can be influenced, but not insulted. In fact, in the future, the situation of the Han people is very miserable. Slaughtered again and again by aliens...... However, taking into account the overall situation, we cannot substitute the history of the Han people in another time and space into this time. It's just that Song Jiu proposed it in the Chinese book. even asked Zhao Heng to publicly issue dew grass, affirming to the world that no matter what religion, the imperial court can respect it, but there are a few, one must not rebel, two must not fish the people, three must not worship evil gods and evil ghosts, especially some barbarians and Fan tribes kill people and sacrifice ghosts and gods, and four is that offensive doctrines cannot be preached, especially what "holy war" and the like, no matter what religion, it is not allowed to appear in the Song Dynasty.

If it does not violate these four prerequisites and does not violate the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, disputes arise due to disdain against each other, regardless of race, the person who discriminates will be held responsible.

It is precisely because of this edict that the northwest is rapidly merging, and it can almost be compared with the speed of the Northern Zhou Dynasty of the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

It's just that the Qinzhou people are still noble because the power of the court has not reached the west side and where Hezhou is (referring to the importance of personal origin, as well as his race, in the Song Dynasty there are two races because of the admiration of the Han people and the phenomenon of borrowing, one is the Japanese people, the other is the Qinzhou Fan, the main reason is that there is not much contradiction between the Qinzhou people and the Song Dynasty in history, and the proportion of Han people in their blood is relatively large, most of them are Han people, so they are not very exclusive to the Han people).

The second is the crop in front of you, which comes from the Japanese country.

I thought about it at the time, but rice is different from wheat millet, it is a high-yield crop, Song Jiu just thought about it, and did not spread rice to Liaodong, for fear that it would make the Liao State further stronger.

It was not until the end of the Great Linghe War last year that Song Jiu asked some maritime merchants to go to the Wa Kingdom and bring many high-quality rice seeds.

At the same time, because many soldiers are mostly farmers and usually farm, they set up some test points in the state capitals of Liaodong, and the Han people cultivate, so that the people of Liaodong can watch and learn.

After coming to the Song Dynasty for a long time, Song Jiu sometimes automatically forgot the high yield in his previous life.

The fertile black soil of Liaodong, coupled with advanced farming methods, has led to the frenzied growth of crops in almost all the test sites, especially rice.

Song Jiu asked the officials to carefully measure the acres of land, and then ordered the harvest.

There were many people who came to watch, including Wang Shu and officials of Dongyang Prefecture, as well as more local people.

From the moment this rice began to bear heading, it attracted the attention of many people.

are curious about its yield.

It is only a test of the field, there are only 200 acres here in Shenshen Prefecture, but there are many people who harvest, and even the people who watch the heat also come to help, the first day of harvesting, the second day of drying, the third day of the rice down.

Then weighed it, and it actually reached a high yield of nearly four and a half stones per acre.

"The Northeast can be decided," Mr. Wang said.

This weight is not the standard weight, to continue to dry off the water, but also to remove the weeds and dust, but anyway, three and a half yields, of course, it is a test field, after the promotion of the yield will inevitably decline. However, as with cotton, as it adapts to the local soil and water and further evolves, if the officials take the initiative to teach everyone to choose seeds, the yield will slowly increase in the future.

Think about how much land there is in Tohoku. And most of it is black soil with fertile soil, officials once roughly estimated. If the whole of Northeast China is developed, nearly 3 million hectares of excellent arable land can be obtained.

Three stones per acre. One hectare of 300 stones, 300 hectares of 300 million stones, this output alone can feed 50 million people, more than 8 million households, but now there are only a few hundred thousand people in Northeast China, and there are only 300,000 households registered in the household registration, and the actual number is only 500,000 households.

The people take food as the sky, and they can eat enough, that people. It doesn't matter what race he comes from, who wants to risk their lives to rebel?

Song Jiu nodded, the account can't be calculated like this, although it is black soil, it must be reclaimed to be black soil, but this yield did not disappoint him, and said: "You can inform the state capitals that this kind of rice must not be eaten as food, but must be kept in its entirety." In the next year, when the seeds are selected, they will be soaked in concentrated salt water, and the saturated rice will be selected as the seeds, and distributed to all the people in the northeast. ”

The clerk prepares to write the grass.

Song Jiu suddenly added: "But if you want to change this kind of rice, you must let the people use five catties of beans." Or fifteen pounds of millet in exchange. ”

"It's not necessary, is it?" Wang Shu said.

The imperial court spent a lot of money in order to pacify Liao and govern the north, but there was no need to care about the cost of rice seeds, which might be two or three hundred thousand stones. Calculating accounts is just Song Jiu's one-year salary, how good it is to buy people's hearts.

"It's not expensive enough to cherish it." Song Jiu said something meaningful.

This is the human heart.

Wang Shu laughed and laughed.

"That's good news. It must be reported to His Majesty. ”

"It's okay to report, but it's not to be exaggerated. Whether it can succeed or not will have to wait for the actual promotion next year. But some businessmen can let out a rumor and explain to the people of the Central Plains that the Northeast is vast and sparsely populated, and the policy of being light and thin, as well as the yield of this kind of rice......"

That's immigration.

This is also a must, the number of the first Northeast Han people is too small, not to mention anything non-our race, their hearts must be different, but most of them are Bohai people, Jurchens, and have established countries successively, which always makes people a little uneasy. Second, the Northeast is too empty, which is not good for governance.

However, it is not possible to forcibly emigrate, which will cause a lot of public resentment, so this is a disguised incentive policy, so that the poor people in the north who are densely populated in the north come spontaneously, so as to reduce a lot of unnecessary expenses and unnecessary public resentment.

However, this recital was written by Song Jiu himself.

The above deliberately downplays the merits of the Wa national rice seeds, but on the contrary, it mentions that the Wa national rice varieties were also imported from China and improved in the past.

The main thing is the Wa Kingdom.

In the Song Dynasty, the Japanese still had a lot of respect for China, but it was respect rather than respect, one was that Liu Renliang defeated the Japanese army for a long time, and the other was that the Song Dynasty won and weakened, so few envoys came to visit, and most of the great monks came to China to travel.

But with the Song Dynasty annihilating the Liao State, unifying the north, and even the actual control area exceeded the Tang Dynasty, after all, the Tang Dynasty controlled only the southern Liaoning region, and did not control the Tongjiang area, or it was a bondage, with the Song Dynasty destroying the Liao State, the northern Lang Gai and the jurisdiction of the Cannes this year have sent envoys to show their sincerity, and the Lang Gai is in the area of Xiaohai (Lake Baikal), and the jurisdiction of Cans is farther, and it is far west of Xiaohai, and it is almost close to the central Siberian Plateau.

Therefore, this convincing is only an illusion.

At this point, is the state capable of governing?

However, the Song Dynasty began to have a little bit of the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty.

It can only be said slightly, it is still not as good as when the Tang Dynasty was in the heyday, at least Hehuang was in the hands of the Tubo, not to mention the Qinghai Lake area west of Chiling and the Southern Silk Road, not to mention the Hexi Corridor, as well as Dali and Jiaozhi, and even Pyongyang was occupied by the Koreans, and even marched to the northeast step by step.

In short, the restrained and pragmatic spirit of guarding the inside and the outside still occupied the mainstream thought of the Song Dynasty.

However, it is definitely different from the original Song Dynasty.

So a mass messenger arrived.

He even learned some news from the mouth of the seafarer, and asked the Song Dynasty to send students to the academy to study physical studies.

Zhao Heng actually agreed.

Song Jiu quickly heard the news, and immediately wrote a recital, only saying one hypothesis and one question.

With the development of physical science and the progress of ships, if there is a hypothesis, a large number of Japanese people came from the sea and invaded the coastal areas of Jingdong, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang, what would be the situation?

Don't say it's impossible.

Today, the Wa Kingdom is still very poor.

In fact, the Song Dynasty was able to dump too many goods in the past, such as cotton products, porcelain, pottery, medicinal materials, glass, silk, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone...... But the result was not as much as everyone imagined, with a huge trade deficit.

For no other reason, there were many commodities that could be sold in the Song Dynasty, but the money and silk transactions from the Wa Kingdom? It is nothing more than some precious wood, some gold and silver, it turns out that the Wa Kingdom still has the Wa State knife and the Wa Guo fan, but now the quality of the Song Dynasty folding fan is still above the Wa State, and the weapons are sharper, in addition to wood, gold and silver, and a small number of slaves, what else can there be? This kind of deficit between the rich and the poor can easily lead to the emergence of Song Jiu's hypothesis.

Speaking of physical physics, Song Jiu could not remember all the physical and chemical knowledge with his fragmentary memory, and the two had different foundations. However, the speed of imitation is very fast, and it is very difficult for the same object to appear, but how difficult can it be to learn later?

As long as the Wa Kingdom studied on a large scale, it would not take many years for many advanced things to be copied by them.

There is almost no defense along the coast, the country has only a little army, and a large number of forbidden troops must be stationed in the north, otherwise there will be Goryeo in the east, the Murowei tribes in the north, and the desert tribes in the west, which will easily trigger their invasion.

The northwest should also garrison troops, Bashu and Hunan should also garrison troops, and the capital should be guarded.

That would have drawn up a large number of troops to be stationed along the long coastline.

This provided the conditions for an invasion.

Moreover, they blend with the sea, and even Goryeo doesn't want to defeat them, let alone the Wa Kingdom on the other side of the sea.

Once the Song Jiu hypothesis really appeared, the seaside area of the Song Dynasty would face a major disaster, and there were many busy large cities by the sea, such as Mizhou, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Mingzhou, Quanzhou, and Fuzhou, all of which were first-rate cities and tax centers in the Song Dynasty.

Then a great catastrophe in the Song Dynasty also came.

This twist and turn made Zhao Heng hesitate, so he sent the envoy back with a sentence, Cang Liao actually knows etiquette, and he knows honor and disgrace if he has enough food and clothing. (To be continued......)
