Chapter 899: Agricultural Things
The imperial court did not pay much attention to the war between the east and the west. Diaphragm
Just think of it as a small local war.
Just like the destruction of Goguryeo by Biqiu back then, it did not cause much repercussions.
Yang Zheng found a problem, the elites of this era did not have much interest in undeveloped land, and only paid attention to one acre and three points of land in the Central Plains.
However, this is also in line with this era, and to put it bluntly, it is still underpopulated.
Cao Wei conquered the Far East that year, but finally gave up.
There are still many places in the Central Plains that have not been developed, so naturally they will not spend energy on those places.
To solve these problems, it is necessary to increase the population. Diaphragm
And to feed a large population, high-yield food is needed.
In recent years, more and more crops have been sent from Tiannan and Haibei and cultivated in greenhouses.
The eggplants introduced from Tianzhu, the lentils from Linyi, the spinach from Nanzhong, etc., greatly enriched Daqin's dining table.
But the high-yield crops that Yang Zheng wanted were not found for a long time.
Potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, and Champa rice, if you find any one, Daqin will enter a new era.
No matter how good these things taste, fill your stomach first.
However, I vaguely remember that potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn are all products of South America. Diaphragm
Therefore, Yang Zheng focused on Zhancheng rice and sent a large number of Jinyi guards to the south, but found nothing.
I don't know if the local savages don't know how to grow rice.
There was no way, Yang Zheng could only order to cast a wide net and catch anything, but everything that looked like rice was brought, and he set up an agricultural department in Jiaozhou, and sent a large number of Taixue agricultural bachelors to the south.
"Whether the people of Daqin can eat enough or not depends on you!" I blame myself for not studying well back then, and now I don't know anything, and I can't help anything, so I can only provide a general direction.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, we will find rice seeds even if we are broken bones!" One hundred and thirty-two agricultural scholars drew their ring swords and shouted into the sky.
"Uh......" What does Yang Zheng think of this group of people looking like they went south to rob......
Although Great Qin is full of martial virtues, it seems to be a bit excessive. Diaphragm
There are no scholars, martial artists, men and women, their tempers are hotter than the other, and they can use knives and never move their mouths.
On the streets of Daxing, there are duels at every turn.
The imperial court repeatedly ordered that private fights were strictly prohibited, but it was still useless.
However, the momentum of the agricultural bachelors made Yang Zheng quite pleased, and what he wanted was this spiritual head.
In this era, going south is not a tour of the mountains and rivers, savages and beasts are everywhere, there are no two knives on the body, and they can't cut people, so it's really not good.
Thinking about it this way, Yang Zheng rewarded each person with a wrong gold and bronze crossbow.
Exquisite and gorgeous, it is not only a sharp weapon for killing, but also a valuable handicraft. Diaphragm
The big shoulders and round waist of the agricultural bachelors burst into tears of excitement, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”
Two months later, news came back from the South...... Yang Zheng was a little annoyed.
The last time Tao Huang and Mao Jiong defeated the invasion of Linyi and invaded its territory, Linyi was unwilling to defeat and gathered an army of 50,000 to take revenge......
Unite with the local people of Jiaozhou, kill the people and officials of Daqin, and burn the government ......
Linyi is like a stone in a thatched house, smelly and hard.
I don't know why, since the founding of the Han Dynasty, they have been provoking the north and taking the expansion to the north as their national policy.
Soochow was also overwhelmed by them. Diaphragm
Historically, the Eastern and Western Jin Dynasty was also unbearable, until after the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Sui Dynasty was established, which provoked Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty and asked the general Liu Fang to lead tens of thousands of troops by land and water into the south to conquer Linyi.
The Central Plains Imperial Court moved seriously, and Linyi was naturally not an opponent, and was destroyed by Liu Fang.
However, the northern soldiers were not accustomed to the subtropical climate, and the scholars died four or five out of ten, and even Liu Fang himself died of illness.
The remnants of Linyi made a comeback and regained the country.
In this case, how can the agricultural bachelor and Jinyiwei still find rice seeds?
What Yang Zheng didn't expect was that Lin Yiguo attacked Jiaozhou repeatedly, which made the court indignant.
It was their blessing that Daqin didn't fight them these years, but I didn't expect these wild people to dare to make a move against Daqin? Still coveting Jiaozhou? Diaphragm
Jiaozhou has been the sacred territory of China since ancient times, and the scholars have a much higher interest in this land than in the eastern and western regions of Liaodong......
After all, Jiaozhou is the land under actual control, and it has been in operation since the Han Dynasty for almost 300 years.
On the other hand, Jiaozhou is abundant.
The peacock feathers, pearls, and spices used by many dignitaries and nobles at home are all produced in Jiaozhou.
"Linyi wolf's ambition has repeatedly offended my Great Qin, and if he is not punished now, he will become even more rampant in the future." Du pre-took the lead in admonishing.
Even Lu Zhi and other officials who have never liked wars have changed their previous conservatism this time, "Linyi thinks it is remote, and it is unbearable to harm my officials and kill my people!" ”
They all said so, of course Yang Zheng would not be polite, "The punishment will be exempted, and those who offend my Great Qin will be punished even if they are far away!" "Ahh
"If that's the case, I'm afraid that the troops that need to be invested will ......," Du said worriedly.
With the lesson of Emperor Yang of Sui, of course Yang Zheng would not use the northern soldiers.
There are people in Nanzhong and Guangzhou.
"This battle is dominated by soldiers from Nanzhong and Jiaozhou, and the materials from Shuzhong and Jiangdong are sent to the south, and I will select another general!" Yang Zheng's gaze swept among the civil and military officials, and finally stopped at one person, "This battle is none other than Lu Youjie!" ”
To kill a chicken, you need to use a knife.
Yang Zheng is ready to completely solve Lin Yiguo at one time.
In the war in the south, the best candidate for commander is, of course, Lu Kang. Diaphragm
His old department Wuyan, Zuo Yi, Zhang Xian and others are all second-to-none generals, and with Tao Huang and Mao Jiong, they are basically the combination of Wang Fang.
Yang Ji's condition worsened, and he was recuperating in Jiaozhi, and Huo Biao's level of commanding troops was not as good as his level of governing the people.
So I had to send a general from the court.
"Command!" Lu Kang was not too excited, as gentle as water as always, and ignored the envious eyes around him.
He went out, and even Wei Qian and Du Yu had nothing to say.
In the past two years, Lu Kang has been low-key and outrageous in Daxing.
It is said that the generals will generally worship the pier, either to join Wei Qian's command, or to hug Du Zhen's thighs, but Lu Kang is an alternative, after entering Qin, he will not do anything, do not fight or rob. Diaphragm
Only one son, Lu Ji, worshiped under the prince's door.
But his reputation is too great, he doesn't worship others, but others come to woo him.
Lu Kang has been unmoved.
Every time Yang Zheng wants to be useful, he always can't find a reasonable reason, and it is not a good thing for him to hastily elevate a person, and Lu Kang's personality is relatively gentle.
There is Ma Long in the east of Liao, Yin Chun and Yang Yi in the west, and Lu Kang in the south.
Yang Zheng is as steady as Mount Tai.
If you really count it, these are local wars, and even if the war is unfavorable, it will not shake the foundation of Great Qin. Diaphragm
Instead of letting the agricultural scholars and Jinyi guards carefully look for a needle in a haystack in Lin Yi Country, it is better to knock down this land and then search it on a large scale.
Where Lin Yi is bigger, can it resist the great Nanzhong and Lingnan?
"Edict, Lu Kangdu Governor Guang, Jiao Erzhou Affairs, Hold the Festival, General Zhennan!"
