Chapter 457: A Thousand Daughters Seek Seeds
Actually, in the end.
This is not just the reason why the minds of the gentry are deeply ingrained.
It's that people have a monopoly on knowledge at all.
Ordinary people, now they are all rogues, they can't eat authentic food, and they are hovering on the edge of life and death every day, what insight can you expect them to have, and they can write and count?
Abandon the scholars and gentry, and the Ming Dynasty collapsed.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse immediately said: "So, you have to hurry up and set up this military school, the better it is, the more confident I will be." ”
Zhang Jing said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister's mind is on this now." ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse then said, "That's very good. ”
As he spoke, the Emperor of the Apocalypse remembered something, and said: "There is another matter, that is, those Liaodong generals who colluded with profiteers, I have been thinking about how to deal with them, whether to deal with them all now, or one by one." ”
Zhang Jing smiled and said mysteriously, "What about Your Majesty's thoughts?" ”
"If it is brought to justice together, I am afraid that in Liaodong, a large number of military horses will inevitably surrender to Jiannu, and the soldiers of Jiannu will arrive at Shanhaiguan." The Emperor of the Apocalypse said, "But if it is delayed, how can I tolerate these people being so bold? ”
Zhang Jing thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, have you ever thought about how I, Daming, can eliminate the border troubles in the north?" ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked surprised: "This ......"
Zhang Jing said: "Now it is not just a problem of the generals of Liaodong, but the continuous expansion of the Jiannu people, even if the Ming Dynasty defeats the Jiannu people, but what about the future?" In the future, there will always be Xianbei, there will be Mongolia, there will be Khitan...... As long as my Daming is outside the gate and does not occupy his foothold for a day, then my Daming will always be disturbed by this infinite attack. What's more, this desert and Liaodong have vast land, and I am ...... Now, because of the pancakes of the land, hundreds of people have lost their fields, and the displaced people are everywhere, so the ministers think that the problem of the generals in Liaodong must be solved. But what really needs to be solved is the question of how to consolidate the north, and the minister heard that...... The white mountains and black waters where Jiannu used to be, as well as the land of Mobei, these places are covered with heavy snow all the year round, but there are countless mineral deposits and countless forests, if I can really go deep into these places, I may not be able to settle the people of the world. ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse said in his heart, good guy, I came to talk to you about the problems of the generals in Liaodong, and you actually came to draw a big cake for me.
Isn't it a dream to solve the border troubles in the north once and for all?
Since the Qin and Han dynasties, there has never been a Central Plains dynasty that can solve this problem.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse said, "Really? So what do you think, how can it be solved? ”
"The people of my Ming Dynasty can't do anything else, but farming is the best at it, the problem is that most of the land outside the customs can't be cultivated, especially over the years, it's cold all year round, even in Liaodong, it's not an exaggeration to call it barren land now."
This is the truth, the current Liaodong, but not the northeast of the later generations, now because of the Xiaoice period, the weather is cold, that Liaodong is full of muddy rotten land and frozen soil, which is why the entire situation in Liaodong began to erode, and the Jiannu people continued to expand.
Of course, it does not mean that the land in Liaodong cannot be cultivated, but under the current technical conditions, the cost of cultivation is not only very high, but also the slightest disaster may cause no harvest. You ask a farmer to plant grain, and then tell him that if you work hard for a year, there is a 60% or 70% chance that there will be no harvest, and people are afraid that they will roll up the cards and run away.
Because within three years, the whole family will starve to death, isn't it fragrant to be a homeless person?
Emperor Apocalypse said: "Mobei and Liaodong can only graze...... That place ......"
Zhang Jingyi shook his head: "But what if, we can grow grain?" ”
"You're talking about sweet potatoes?"
"Sweet potatoes aren't there yet." Zhang Jingyi: "On the one hand, it is difficult to store, and the weather in Mobei and Liaodong is getting worse and worse, and it may not be unaffected, so ah...... This sweet potato can be used as an auxiliary, but not as a staple food, if this ice and snow, can grow wheat, if it can be planted, with my Ming people, we can plant grain to the far north, the land where the wheat is planted, it will be the land of my Daming. ”
When the Emperor of the Apocalypse heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "Haha, wheat can also be grown in the ice and snow, Zhang Qing, I ...... I ......"
Speaking of this, the Emperor of the Apocalypse stammered.
His body trembled, and he looked excited.
If you can grow wheat in the snow and ice...... This Central Plains Dynasty is only afraid that it can sweep the desert a hundred times.
Dominating the desert, even the far north, is something that many so-called holy monarchs dare not think of.
Zhang Qing ...... If that's the case, I'm the First Emperor, and I'm afraid you can be Li Si. ”
As soon as she heard that it was Li Si, Zhang Jingyi felt that her heart was a little cold.
However, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was indeed very excited: "Why, is there really such a thing in this world?" ”
"I'm not sure." Zhang Jing said: "But the minister wants to give it a try." ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Zhang Jingyi with a strange look.
But he trusted Zhang Jingyi and had almost no doubts: "What do you need?" ”
"There has to be a piece of land in Liaodong."
"You are the Duke of Liao, I will give you Yizhou Wei, let you try." The Emperor of the Apocalypse said without hesitation: "What else do you need?" ”
Zhang Jing said: "The rest, there is no need." ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse was extremely serious: "Do you need manpower?" I don't have the skills, otherwise, let my brother help you, although King Xin is a little stupid, it is easy to fall for others, for example, now, he is thinking about your military school textbooks all day long, every day from morning to night, I heard that he can memorize it backwards. Or will you use it? ”
Zhang Jing couldn't help but smile bitterly.
In fact, the attitude of the Emperor of the Apocalypse is very clear.
I don't know if this thing can be grown, though.
However, once it succeeds, it will be terrible, and it can directly change the pattern of the world and fulfill the dream of the Central Plains Dynasty for thousands of years.
Zhang Jing thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty...... If the king really has nothing to do, then it is okay to help the ministers. ”
"Okay." The Emperor of the Apocalypse said, "I will send people in a few days." ”
His attitude is self-evident, the king of faith is his blood relative, and sending him over to Zhang Jingyi as a helper is enough to prove that the emperor attaches great importance to this, even if there is little hope of success, I will do my best.
Although vigorous may not produce miracles.
But the attitude is still needed.
When the Emperor of the Apocalypse drove back to the palace, he sat in the car, but he was stunned.
Hey?
What the hell did I talk about?
Didn't you ask the generals of Liaodong a question?
…………
Zhang Jingyi said goodbye to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, but he was embarrassed.
He immediately perked up.
With Yizhouwei, it's really time to give it a try.
Planting wheat in this cold and snowy land, he really wanted to give it a try, at least the time was ripe.
As early as a year ago, Zhang Jingyi went to the far north to find the Naros people.
And there is one thing in the Rus, but the value to Zhang Jingyi is more important than ten million taels of silver...... Rye.
Rye is not the same as other wheat, and under normal circumstances, wheat is also a relatively delicate grain.
But rye is simply perverted, because it can survive in minus 35 degrees Celsius.
This means that even in Siberia, food can be grown.
In fact, although rye is unknown in history, in fact, it exists in Russia, Norway and Sweden and other cold regions.
The Rus' were able to climb through the Ural Mountains, all the way east, deep into Siberia, and finally take the whole of Siberia into their pockets, among which there was certainly the military strength of the Rus' people, and one of the most important things, but it was rye, which was neglected, as the main production area of rye, the Rus' people could not only go deep into Siberia, but also grow grain in Siberia.
Otherwise, in that icy and snowy Siberia, thousands of kilometers away from the area controlled by the Rus' people, the Rus' people continued to advance eastward, and in that era when there were no railways, if they really relied on the rear to transport food supplies, with the financial resources of the Rus' people, I am afraid that they would have gone bankrupt a hundred times ago.
And this magical rye, after Zhang Jingyi let people buy, the next thing is to hope to try to plant in Liaodong first, and once the planting is successful, this means that the Xiaoice River period has changed from a disadvantage to an advantage for Daming.
Not only Liaodong and the desert, but even the far north can allow the Han people to survive and explore.
At this time, Zhang Jingyi has recruited a few Rus' people, in addition, there are a number of farmers cultivated by the Zhang family, and the Chinese New Year is about to begin, and the seeds of this rye will have to be planted before the spring of next year.
As for the king of faith...... It didn't matter if he wanted to.
…………
A few days later.
Guangqu Gate.
Suddenly, a group of students from the teaching team with open fire came on horseback.
As soon as the students of this teaching team appeared, they actually took over the city gate directly.
The garrison of the city gate is new, because the previous garrison has been disorganized, and the head has been cut off.
Therefore, at a glance at this new garrison, it is amazing, this is the person of the Duke of Liao.
Immediately after that, a long line of carriages and horses began to appear.
These countless carts have left a deep wheel mark on the road.
There is no end in sight to the vast convoy.
Tired coachmen drove the horses.
In front of them was a group of cavalry coming directly to the road, and the guards along the way were extremely nervous, they were riding on horses, and they were all pressing the hilt of the knife on their waists at any time, for fear that someone would not open their eyes and rush to rob the road.
When the guard saw it, he was frightened, and he hurriedly looked for a student who had entered the city and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"It's none of your business, go aside, I'll wait in the office, let your soldiers take fifty steps back, and we will take over the city tower for the time being."
The garrison had never seen such arrogance, so he laughed dryly, but he still nodded with his tail between his legs, but he was a little worried, after all, his duty was to defend the city, and when the time came, the boss would blame him.
So although he ordered the soldiers to retreat, he remained on the side of the doorway.
At this time, someone from the rear party came on horseback, pointed at him with a whip, and said, "Who is this, didn't you say that no one who is insignificant should come within thirty paces?" ”
So, immediately a student said: "Deng Qianhu, this person is the garrison ...... Guangqumen."
"Regardless of whether he is guarded or not, in this thousands of households, everyone is suspected of being a thief, if there is any mistake in this carload of gold and silver, who can afford to be guilty?"
