Chapter 90: Consultation

The news from Nanjing shocked He Xi.

He had to reflect on himself, what kind of people were the people around him? It's completely different from the historical impression.

Yang Shiqi, the head of the three Yangs in later generations, the elder minister, emulated Ban Chao's actions in Nanyang, which already surprised He Xi. In his impression, people like Yang Shiqi should not be scheming. How to put yourself in such danger.

Then there is Ye Shen, who is obviously a disciple of the general, it stands to reason that he should be like the son of the prince, and whether he can fight or not is another matter. But in the political game, there should be a natural sense of smell, born in the door, and self-rising by three points. But Ye Shen is a person who doesn't care about anything when he fights.

He Xi remembered that Ye Wang, who had good ability and had stood aside for most of his life. I have to admit it. Many things may not be what Ye Wang thinks about himself. I don't meet my own talents. It was Ye Wang's young thing, and he did something embarrassing to the above.

Perhaps this is also the origin of family learning.

As for Xie Jin, this great talent, is really easy to use. But as soon as he made a move, he said hello to death. It works great. It almost made Nanjing's public opinion lose its voice for a while. But He Xi believes that the counterattack after that will be overwhelming. Even Zhu Yuanzhang can't be completely suppressed.

After all, even the nouveau riche of the Ming Dynasty, although they participated in maritime trade, they were not without land. And it's a big landowner. Although Zhu Yuanzhang picked the door, he was a hero of the founding of the country, and there are still thousands of acres of land.

The same is true of the path they take to manage the land.

And even if Zhu Yuanzhang is powerful, he can't dig his foundation, and it is trivial to kill some ministers below, but in this kind of matter, if he makes a strong statement or even vetoes it, he will really become a loner.

Xie Jin did not leave a way for others to live, nor did he leave a way for himself to retreat.

He Xi couldn't help but wonder why the people around him were so radical.

In fact, this is the gathering of people by like, and the division of things by groups.

He Xi himself doesn't think it, but almost everyone in the whole world thinks that He Xi is the most radical Confucianism in the entire Confucianism. Many of the concepts put forward by He Xi, in He Xi's view, are already trying to pick out the views that can be accepted by this era. But in the eyes of the world, it is radical and cannot be more radical.

Therefore, many people who are moving closer to He Xi have shown this very radical ideological outlook. Such as Xie Jin. Xie Jin just wanted to cater to He Xi with this attitude.

There is another reason, that is, He Xi promoted personnel from Guozijian, and favored people who could make achievements in later generations. But the problem is that many of these ministers from the country were in the late Hongwu period and the Yongle Dynasty before they gradually stepped onto the political stage.

They've been around for years. The temperament has stabilized.

And now, Ru Xie Jin is only in his early twenties, a few years younger than He Xidu. Talent is naturally there. But the youthful spirit of young people is also even more there. It's not so thoughtful.

All of a sudden, it turned the world upside down.

However, when He Xi thinks about it, it can be regarded as a good result.

Although he lives in Liaodong. But in fact, he knew very well that sooner or later he would have to go to the center. Sooner or later, there will be a reckoning with many scholars. The reason why he is released is not to accumulate strength outside. And with Xie Jin's performance, these things He Xi did in Liaodong were not useless.

At least, there are already many people in Guozijian who accept He Xi's theory.

The Chinese are the most practical people, whether a thing is good or not, the lips are the same thing, and it is always necessary for him to see the realistic results to be more convincing.

Xie Jin's behavior is certainly speculative, but He Xi also feels that it reflects the change of power at the ideological level. And Xie Jin's behavior can also throw stones to ask for directions. See, who is his enemy? What is the power? In the future, when there is a showdown, pay attention to who you are.

Of course. He Xi has one thing that must be done, and that is to save Xie Jin's life.

Sometimes, it's not He Xi who wants to protect the short. It's really that as a leader, he can't save the lives of those who charge below, and the next time he encounters such a thing, no one will dare to go on it. So He Xi wrote several letters in a row.

When Xie Jin didn't know, he had already finalized the place to solve the future. If not anywhere else, it is one of the four towns of Nanyang. Although He Xi left Nanyang, he still has influence in Nanyang. Whether Xie Jin is demoted to Nanyang or exiled to Nanyang, He Xi can take care of it.

And in the eyes of many people, Nanyang is a barren land, and exile in Nanyang is simply a punishment second only to death. No, even more terrible than the death penalty. It is difficult for the bones to return to their hometowns.

With such a background, He Xi felt that Xie Jin's life was worry-free.

Of course, He Xi thinks that Xie Jin should precipitate in Nanyang for a few years. In the future, it will naturally be useful to do things for He Xi, not now.

Xie Jin's matter is just a small episode of He Xi's attention to Nanjing.

In Nanjing's affairs, He Xi can only be a bystander, waiting to see the changes in the situation in the imperial court.

In Liaodong, He Xi still has his own things to do.

——

Yingkou, the newly built Yingkou County Yazhong.

He Xi and Liaodong are all high-level people.

Wu Gao, Liu Jing, Huang Zicheng, Yang Shiqi, Ge Tiangong and more than a dozen group seats.

He Xi sat at the top, Liu Jing talked eloquently, and said, "Always mention it." Next year, we can increase the amount of cultivated wasteland, and the total amount of acres of land is more than 31,000 hectares, and it can be increased by 10,000 hectares next year, and it can be increased to 50,000 hectares within three years. ”

One hectare is equal to 100 acres, and more than 30,000 hectares is 3 million mu. This is already the number of later years of Orthodoxy. If more than 30,000 hectares are all ripe fields, Liaodong will be self-sufficient in grain, and there will be no problem at all. But the problem is that it is generally three years after the land is cleared, and it is considered to be ripe.

This is also the reason why there is a shortage of grain in Liaodong today.

As for the time of 50,000 hectares, it has actually exceeded the official number of acres in Liaodong. But as we all know, the official figures of the Ming Dynasty have always been a joke. It's not worth mentioning at all. However, it also shows that the land that is easy to reclaim in Liaodong has almost been reclaimed by the time it reaches 50,000 hectares.

If we want to reclaim more land, we must strengthen water conservancy construction.

No, now, water is diverted directly on the Liao River. There are mainly two aspects, the first is the Liaoze problem that He Xi thought about before. Drain the water of Liaoze. Thousands of miles of Liaoze has become fertile soil, and Liaodong has become one of the important grain producing areas of the Ming Dynasty.

The second question was raised by Liu Jing. It's about building a sea pond.

The situation at the mouth of the Liao River is the same as that in many places south of the Yangtze River, where seawater is backflowing. As a result, a lot of land near the mouth of the Liaohe River has become saline-alkali land. It can only be covered with reeds, and it cannot be planted. But Liu Jing is a native of Jiangnan, and he knows that since the Five Dynasties, many places in Jiangnan have built sea ponds, and how little by little the seaside land has been transformed into fertile land. Even in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the construction of sea ponds was still an important water conservancy project.

Liu Jing proposed the construction of a sea pond. Although this project did not drain the Liaoze grandiose. The effect brought by it is estimated that it is not as good as the effect of Liaoze. But Liu Jing only estimates that millions of acres of land can be obtained, which is not a problem at all.

The reason why it is difficult to increase the area of land reclamation is difficult. Not because of anything else. It's a demographic problem.

The migrated Goryeo population is still struggling to digest. But He Xi can foresee that in the future, for a long time, Liaodong will not be so good. Nothing can be done without people.

He Xi pondered for a moment and said: "Let this matter go first, next year it is estimated that there will be five hundred stone of grain from the sea." Four million taels of silver. The imperial treasury was almost empty. There is absolutely no problem with the food supply. Even after unifying the Goryeo army, there was a surplus. So the problem of food is not urgent. Anxious things in other ways. ”

"How big will be the cotton acreage next year?"

Liu Jing was stunned for a moment and said, "Not much." Most of them are grain fields, just opened up land, ready to plant beans, soybeans are the most nourishing to the soil, and cotton I am ready to put first. ”
