Chapter 267: The man who deserves to be stronger and stronger
Liu Che is also seriously thinking about this problem.
The biggest factor in Zhao Tuo's independence in Lingnan was the inconvenient transportation and poor information, and the contact between the imperial court and Lingnan was almost measured in years.
Coupled with the chaotic times at the end of the Qin Dynasty, all parties had no time to take care of the Lingnan area, so Zhao Tuo was naturally independent.
Strong is really not strong, even if it is stable for decades, it has not allowed Lingnan to move forward.
For Lingnan, the Han Dynasty was still a crushing existence.
That's why Liu Che will be so easy when he takes back Lingnan.
Although the Western Regions are farther, the transportation is relatively easier.
In addition to the fact that Yumen Pass can be directly connected to the Western Regions, in the future, Liu Ponu's military fort plan can also allow the Han Dynasty to go directly to the Western Regions from the northern grasslands.
If the imperial court wants to develop a place, the population is really not a problem, and it can be solved by directly exiling some prisoners, and if it is not enough, then the whole family will be exiled. The biggest problem is management in the future.
If you look at it this way, it doesn't seem like there's much of a problem.
Liu Ponu's Yin Damage Plan, coupled with Liu Che's improvements, the basic rudiments of governance in the Western Regions were thus formed.
……
The envoys of the Western Regions, who had rested for several days, were never summoned by the emperor.
However, the imperial court did not limit the scope of their activities, and appointed officials to follow them throughout the process.
A group of people who had nothing to do had to wander around in Chang'an City, and some people decided to go outside the city to find a sense of existence because they were hit by the prosperity in the city.
Chang'an is not a grassland, and although it will snow here, it will not cover the whole winter like on the grassland.
It's basically about ten days covered here.
"Huh? What's that? An envoy from the Western Regions pointed to the green patch in front of him with a puzzled face.
The surroundings are bare, but there is a green one, which is very conspicuous, and people can't pay attention to it.
Green represents vitality, but in this cold winter, how can there be a banker?
"There, it's a new thing made by the prince, and it is said that he can use the free time from autumn harvest to spring ploughing to cultivate, so that the same land can be cultivated twice a year." The accompanying officer explained with a mysterious expression.
"Huh? And such a magical thing? The envoy from the Western Regions was stunned for a moment, then felt as if there was something wrong, and asked, "If it's so magical, why haven't you seen this kind of crop in other places?" ”
The accompanying official was just thinking that it would be over, but he didn't expect the other party to get to the bottom of it.
He remembered what his leader had commanded.
The purpose of these envoys from the Western Regions on this trip is to ask to join the Great Han, although the overall situation is almost decided, but not being able to join for a day means that there are still variables.
So when I took them around the place, the officials who accompanied them needed to think about their attitude.
To sum up, no matter whether you can be sure or not, you have to go to the, at least you have to calm them down first, and you have to make them want to join in eagerly.
In front of him is the little Zhuangzi that Liu Ponu used to conduct experiments, and he didn't know too much about the specific situation, but he vaguely heard that Liu Ponu was doing something new, and once he succeeded, Dahan would benefit immensely.
But after all, it was the first time this year that it had been done, and no one was sure what the outcome would be.
Now the envoy of the Western Regions has obviously taken an interest in the winter wheat, and although it may not lead to any evil consequences if he tells it bluntly, it will certainly not achieve the most desirable effect.
So, the accompanying official cleared his throat and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has adopted new technologies, new varieties, and new methods, this year's cultivation is for breeding, and next year the scale here will be expanded several times, and in just a few years, all the land in Dahan will be two seasons a year!" ”
"Oh, I see......" The envoy from the Western Regions did not express doubt.
The cultivation technology of the Han Dynasty was undoubtedly very advanced for the Western Regions.
How advanced is it?
To put it simply, most of the forces in the Western Regions that rely on cultivation for a living are still at the level of slash-and-burn farming.
Of course, some simple tools are available, but in reality that's just that.
There are fewer people and more land, which also leads to the fact that even if they use the oldest and least efficient farming method to cultivate, they still have endless land.
Not to mention the output or something, it is completely a matter of watching the sky and eating, which is better than Liu Ponu's salted fish cultivation method in later generations.
At least Liu Ponu will follow the army to water the land twice in the later generations, and the current people in the Western Regions will sow seeds and leave them alone, and they don't even bother to turn over the ground.
Many of the seeds were eaten by birds and animals, and many of the seedlings were eaten by some animals after they grew up.
On average, if you have an average yield of one and a half stones, they will all be awakened by laughter.
Especially when he learned that the average yield per mu of the Han Dynasty had reached between one and a half stones and two stones, the envy in the eyes of the envoys of the Western Regions was even stronger.
This is really a currency to get, people have to die more than people!
The average yield per mu is not satisfied with one and a half stones, and they are still thinking of ways to increase the yield, and their highest yield has not reached one stone, and the average is only about half a stone.
Even if it's rounded up......
Forget it, he won't either.
Thinking that it is the same land, and one acre of land planted by others can produce more than the three acres they plant, and the hearts of these people are instantly a little unbalanced.
"Why do those houses look different from the others?" Someone found the house in the small village and couldn't help but wonder.
"Oh, you said that, they are all built of new materials, and when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first made them, he used them to build a house here to test their reliability, and it turned out that this thing is really easy to use."
"Just that kind of house, do you know how strong it is? Do you know how long it will take to build a house like this? The accompanying officer was instantly interested, and proudly showed off.
Seeing that the members of the Western Regions Envoy Group shook their heads and said that they didn't know, the smile on the faces of the accompanying officials became even stronger.
"It's not that I'm blowing it to you, you've all seen the strength of our new army, right?"
"I've seen it, especially the one that can be thrown far away, and it can knock down our walls in one fell swoop......, it's terrifying," a member of the envoy group from Yanqi nodded repeatedly.
The higher-ups all died in the city in that battle, and he couldn't go up because he wasn't level enough, but he saved his life because of this.
Also because the high-level people are all dead, those who are not at his level can only be pushed up.
It just so happened that the scene of that day was all in his eyes again, and the picture of that day still makes him afraid, and he trembles and fears when he mentions Han Jun.
Others had heard a lot about the Han army's attack on Yanqi that day, but they had never really seen the might of the Han army from beginning to end.
And they couldn't imagine what that kind of picture was like at all, as for the drill that Han Yannian did in Wusun, they saw it, although it was shocking, but they always felt very regretful.
In addition, the original drill was played in the open field, and the visual effect was not as shocking as imagined.
"You're talking about cannonballs, that thing is really powerful, but if you want to collapse the city wall made of this new material, I'm afraid you have to hit dozens of them at one point. As for the guns in the hands of the infantry, there is no way to encounter this kind of city wall, and when they encounter it, they can only make a helpless detour. ”
"Let's just say that this house can be built in only seven days in the summer, and it takes about half a month in the winter......"
"I'll just tell you so, His Royal Highness the Prince, I have long planned to start fighting Chang'an, and build a city that can accommodate thousands of people every dozens of miles, just build it all the way to the Western Regions, and it will be much easier to come and go back and forth when the time comes......" The accompanying officials suddenly found that bragging seemed to be addictive, and the more they bragged, the more comfortable they became, and the more they bragged, the more they wanted to brag.
Especially when he saw that the other party's group of dirt buns were shocked and couldn't close their mouths, he couldn't stop being excited in his heart, that feeling, not to mention how cool it was.
Now it was the turn of these members of the Western Regions Emissary Group to be shocked.
You have to know how difficult it is to build a city, and why can the Western Regions only build such low cities?
The lack of technology is one thing, and the overall strength of the surrounding forces is not strong, in other words, their walls are more used to prevent wild beasts or something.
But even with the unskilled adobe walls, it would take them years to build a city.
Not to mention some of the basic facilities in the city, the cities in the Western Regions have gradually formed their current scale after years of continuous construction.
Let them build a city on the ground, and frankly, no country can have this kind of strength.
As for the big man......
Some people want to question it, but when they think of it, since they entered the Han Dynasty, all kinds of cities have been everywhere.
Even in the Hexi Corridor, which had just been recovered for more than ten years, several huge cities appeared, and the result of the fact directly overwhelmed the unwillingness in their hearts.
Even the adobe city walls could be built so quickly, let alone in such a newer, more convenient way of building.
Immediately afterwards, this group of envoys from the Western Regions incarnated as Grandma Liu, and they followed up the Grand View Garden, and they felt very strange when they saw everything.
Although many things had already been seen on the way here, at that time it was just a matter of sightseeing, and no one had to explain it to them.
When they learned about the high-tech waterwheel, the tractor that was more powerful than the ploughing ox, and the technology that could make iron, the envoys from the Western Regions couldn't sit still at all.
The big man is so strong and works so hard, he deserves to be stronger and stronger......
