Chapter 49: Construction Is More Meaningful Than Destruction (II)

For Yelu Dashi's generosity, many tribal chieftains were grateful, patting their chests and claiming to be willing to fight to the death for him. But they also said that they wanted to meet the immortals of the Song Kingdom who created these miracles and ask him for some "wisdom of life......

- Of course, Yelu Dashi understood their careful thoughts, and he must have wanted to give gifts and bribes to the Song people in exchange for the seeds and cultivation methods of [Seven Days of Raw Wheat] and [Edelweiss Alfalfa]: Although Yelu Dashi, the lord, seems to be quite generous, others are not as good as their own.

However, for these small calculations of the tribes, Yelu Dashi is happy to see them come true.

In terms of short-term interests, once the grain output of the Mobei grassland increases sharply, it can provide more adequate logistics support for the Khitan restoration war. As for whether these chiefs will have different intentions because of the increase in strength...... If Yelu Dashi can't even suppress them, then don't think about recovering the country!

In a more far-reaching way, this can even change the balance of power between nomadic and agrarian civilizations on the north and south sides of the Great Wall!

Before the rise of the Khitan and the seizure of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, the reason why the northern nomads had always been at a disadvantage in the contest with the Central Plains Dynasty, even the invincible Xiongnu and Turks could not really become strong and completely overwhelm the Central Plains, was that although they could use the vast grassland to raise cattle, sheep and horses, they could not cultivate them, and their production efficiency could not be improved - there was not enough food supply, and the population of the grassland naturally could not be compared with the Central Plains, and at most it was only more than one million people. Once the human resources are exhausted, the steppe khanate is almost certain to be defeated.

(In the era of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms, although the Hu people rode through the Central Plains, once any Hu people entered the Central Plains, they would inevitably change their way of life and gradually abandon their homeland on the grassland - in the eyes of the nomads of the Mobei grassland, they had become completely different from themselves as "Central Plains people".) Before the Khitans established the Liao State, no regime could have the dual attributes of a nomadic khanate and a Central Plains dynasty at the same time. ）

Although the cattle, sheep and horses of the nomads are directly stocked on the grassland, which seems to be quite easy and easy, but in fact it is not so simple, not to mention the long-distance migration after each pasture is eaten, just how to prevent wolves and various natural disasters on weekdays is a big trouble. If a heavy snowstorm falls, cattle, sheep and horses freeze to death, many small tribes will be wiped out. Droughts and locust plagues have similar lethality.

So, while the peasants of ancient China were hard enough, the herders on the steppes were even more miserable and less secure.

If they can be allowed to grow enough crops to eat on the grassland, it will inevitably lead to a rapid expansion of the population outside the Saibei region, so that the Saibei regime can feed a sufficient number of people and raise enough military spending, materials and troops to wrestle with the Central Plains regime......

The only thing that made Yelu Dashi feel a little worried was whether the Song people would also see this, so they didn't want these magical crops to spread in Mobei. In that case, most of the chiefs would probably not dare to risk being blamed by the gods and take the seeds from this side of Kedun City to their own territory without authorization-and they also lacked the talents who knew how to farm-besides, after Guo Daxian left, once such a miraculous crop was freed from the protection of the gods, could they continue to grow in Mobei...... Yelu Dashi's heart was also very uneasy about this.

So, let's let these earth bun chiefs take the lead first, so as to test the attitude of Guo Daxian!

However, the result of this temptation was so smooth that Yelu Dashi almost came by surprise.

-- In the face of the prostration and pleading of the chiefs of the tribes, after discussing with the apprentices, Guo Jing and Guo Daxian happily accepted the various gifts they sent, and gladly agreed to the requests of the chiefs, saying that they were happy to spread these miraculous crops to the entire prairie for the benefit of all people, so that the people of Mobei could stay away from the suffering of famine. Next, Guo Jing not only presented each of them with a number of seeds and seedlings, but also enthusiastically took out a bunch of agricultural books from the Central Plains, such as "Qi Min Yaoshu" and a booklet on the precautions for planting new crops he wrote, and distributed them to everyone one by one...... Finally, he encouraged them to study hard and work hard for the people of all ethnic groups inside and outside the Great Wall to have a good harvest and common prosperity.

Although this better than expected result should have made Yelu Dashi happy, the influx of visitors that followed made him feel like a big head at once—although he had received agricultural books from Guo Jing, many of the chieftains on the steppe were illiterate, and even those who knew a few Chinese characters could not read such a difficult and obscure tome...... So, they all found Yelu Dashi, who is recognized as the most literate Khitan Hanlin on the grassland, to ask for advice on the places that they couldn't understand in these books, so that this Dashi Linya was overwhelmed.

In addition, the Khitan and Han officials in the city of Kedun, who were slightly educated, and even Yue Fei, who was only a little literate in the Song army, were surrounded by countless people holding newly acquired books to ask for advice. As for those Han, Bohai and Xi farmers who had personally participated in the cultivation before, they had become the focus of poaching targets of various tribes, and many tribal leaders even put their own daughters as a price code (recruiting sons-in-law)......

Yelu Dashi made up his mind that after the restoration of the country in the future, he must move a large number of Han people from Liaodong and Bohai to the grassland to reclaim the land, on the one hand, to increase grain production, and on the other hand, to mix sand into these self-contained grassland tribes to strengthen the control of the central government.

At the same time, Wang Qiu smiled and counted the tributes, or tuition fees, sent by the chiefs of various departments.

-- Colorful gems from the Western Regions, gold and silver ornaments with unique styles that are very different from those of the Central Plains, precious mink and bear skins, and even Roman gold coins minted in an unknown era...... These are all tributes from various tribes to the people of Guo Daxian. No matter how bitter and barren this desert grassland is, in the hands of the clan chiefs who are the ruling class, they can still make up some good things.

Although most of this belongings have to be stuffed into the [automatic pawn machine] by Doraemon, they will be exchanged for money to pay off debts. But Wang Qiu also unceremoniously stuffed a few gems and gold coins into his pocket as payment for helping them buy salt and teaching new crop farming techniques as a guest agricultural technician - although Wang Qiu had never farmed before, he at least understood the instruction manuals and educational videos.

In fact, if the seeds of these new crops in the future provided by Doraemon are the same as the high-yielding rice seeds of Wang Qiu's time, which cannot maintain the basic traits while reproducing themselves, but will completely degrade after a few generations, and need to buy new seeds every year, then the promotion of planting in this era will naturally be in vain - after all, Doraemon cannot let the seed company of the future world open a branch here.

Fortunately, according to Doraemon, the two hardy crops of "Seven Days of Raw Wheat" and "Edelweiss Alfalfa" were originally designed to be used in the barren land of Antarctica 6, and they could reproduce on their own even without the follow-up services of the seed company, at most because their traits were degraded. But compared with any crops of this era, it can still be called an artifact for increasing yield.

Therefore, for Guo Jing, the "real person who protects the country", recently promoted farming and taught high-yield new crops in Mobei, the low-level soldiers who accompanied the Song army did not have much knowledge, only knew that they drank wine and ate meat all day long here, and had a lot of fun gambling with the Turks, Khitans and Mongols than wrestling. However, among those officers who are more knowledgeable and educated, they are quite suspicious and even worried.

For example, on the second night after Guo Daxian was scattering seeds and agricultural books, Yue Fei, the commander of the cavalry, came over with a sad face and complained:

“…… Contacting the Khitan, attacking the Jin captives, and using strength to fight is indeed the best policy for our dynasty to drive out the Tatars and restore the lost land. However, the real people educated the barbarians here, gave them farming, gave them high-yield seeds, and turned the outside into the south of the Yangtze River, so that their grain and straw were abundant and their strength soared...... After the defeat of the Jurchens, wouldn't they be suspected of raising tigers again? It must be known that although the Liaodong Jin people have skin pain in our dynasty, the grassland Khitan is also a century-old enemy!

Besides, if a real person has such a high-yield and good breed, he will not let the people of the Li Dynasty, but let the grassland herdsmen take the lead, which is too favoritism! ”

In this regard, Guo Jing pushed Wang Qiu, the "big disciple", out to answer Yue Fei's questions and explain why he was such a "rival".

“…… Shizun's recent actions are not to emphasize the Khitan and ignore the Song people, but that these two things are naturally suitable for the bitter cold land of Saibei. As the so-called orange is born in Huainan for orange, and born in Huaibei is orange. If it is transplanted to the warm and humid land of the Central Plains, it will grow very poorly and the harvest will be poor. Once flooded, the root system will rot and the previous efforts will be wasted...... Of course, in order to show equal treatment, we can also give you some seeds of [Seven Days of Raw Wheat] and [Edelweiss Alfalfa], so that you can take them back to your hometown in Xiangzhou to find a piece of land to see, and maybe you can figure out some good ways to solve the above troubles......"

“…… Secondly, Pengju can know that the Hu people in Mobei are only a million people, why has it been a big problem for hundreds of millions of Li people in the Central Plains since ancient times?

First, the grassland is a bitter cold land, and grazing livestock is not enough to survive. The reason why the Hu people risked their lives to go south year after year, desperately tired of death and injuries, and also plundered the Central Plains, was because the barren grasslands could not support such a large number of people, and they could only survive by plundering the people of the Central Plains.

Second, all the ethnic groups in Mobei are rich in good horses, there is no permanent place, the whole clan is nomadic with water and grass, and the whole people are soldiers in war, and tens of thousands of cavalry can go south to fight the grass valley in a moment...... If the soldiers and horses of our Central Plains go north to the grassland, they will be paid and it will be difficult to find their traces, and if they sit on the border passes, they will be passively beaten everywhere and cannot be prevented.

However, if the Hu people learned farming, built cities and lived in the customs of our Central Plains, opened fields to plant pasture grass and wheat beans, and raised livestock in barns, they could have enough food and clothing without looting...... So, can they still use all the soldiers, regardless of the cities and fields at home, and the entire tribe and the entire tribe will land south to attack the Central Plains? Besides, there is only the case of the poor robbing the rich in this world, how can there be any reason for the rich to steal from the poor? If the north of the country gets these two things, and the farmers are widely practiced, and the grain harvest is far better than that of the south of the Yangtze River year after year, I am afraid that Huma will no longer go south, and the people of the Central Plains will go to the outside of the country to rob the country......"

Then, after Comrade Yue Fei, who had been instilled with "new thinking", got up and left in a daze, and went back to rest, Wang Qiu casually flipped out the "Book of Crossing" to see if there were any changes, but he was so frightened by the latest two lines of handwriting that his jaw almost dropped:

“…… Upgrade the nomadic civilization of the Mobei grassland to a settled farming civilization and get 1oooo reward points. ”

“…… There are 55ooo reward points in total, and the conditions for a single person to leave have been met, ask if you want to let the participant Guo Jing return to the real world? ”

Oh my God! The 50,000 bonus points that ended the game were unconsciously gathered?!!

The slaughter on the battlefields of Bianliang and Huining before changed the fate of so many emperors and generals, but as a result, they could only get 15oo reward points from each person at most. And right now, it's just spreading some new crops on the grassland, without killing a single person, without destroying a city, and getting a full 10,000 reward points? Oh my God! This...... Is it true that it makes more sense for the world to build than to destroy?
