The summer heat is hot in June, and the courtyard of Zhilan is not allowed to be cool.

Shao Xun changed into a coarse linen short brown, walking one foot deep and one foot shallow in the mud, and from time to time people brought paper and pen to record it.

In his records, the current stage of Kwong Shing Yuan is roughly divided into several architectural groups.

One of them is the Guangcheng Palace group.

The Gwangseong Palace group is divided into the Gwangseong Palace complex on the mountain and the green confinement building complex at the bottom of the mountain.

The former was inhabited, and had less than sixty chambers, a storehouse, and a small barracks.

The latter is a vegetable garden and an orchard, which is enclosed with a wooden fence, and there are more than 30 houses, water mills, warehouses and other houses.

The second is the soup pool group.

The hot spring group is divided into hot spring buildings and winter garden buildings.

The former is divided into several courtyards, with a total of more than 100 houses, and more than 10 ancillary buildings such as pavilions and pavilions.

The latter is not large, and mainly relies on geothermal hot springs to grow vegetables. This is the old wisdom of the Han Dynasty, that is, the temperature near the hot springs is slightly higher, so vegetables are planted for winter enjoyment.

Obviously, the Winter Garden plays this role, serving fresh fruits and vegetables in winter to the nobles who soak in the hot springs.

The third is the Yongjia Cangcheng group.

This group has jurisdiction over a number of building complexes such as Yongjia Warehouse, Forage Warehouse, Water Pier, Pastoral Garden, Military Barracks, etc., which is the core and important place of Guangchengze and the key construction project this year.

The fourth is the Zhilan Academy.

This group has jurisdiction over the Zhilanyuan building complex and the wharf building complex.

The former had seventy or eighty houses, while the latter had a wharf, a storehouse, a barracks, and a workshop for building small boats.

Shao Xun is not interested in hedonic architecture, but he still has a good impression of functional architecture.

And he saw the needle, and ordered the opening of fields and the rectification of ditches in the empty space between the various building groups.

He was walking near a field that was being leveled.

The ground was covered with silt, and the silt was taken from the swamp next to it.

To put it simply, in the middle of a swamp, some places are shallow, some places are deep.

In the development process, the idea is to dredge and dredge deep places, dig wide and deep, and then fill in the shallow places with silt and turn them into farmland. As a result, the farmland is surrounded by rivers and lakes for easy irrigation, and there is a large amount of nutrient-rich silt in the field that can be used to grow crops and increase yields.

This idea was put forward by Shao Xun and inspired by the "battlement".

When the Chinese ancestors developed Huainan, they did such a thing.

Surrounded by rivers and lakes, the fields resemble small islands in the middle of the water, and the islands are full of crops and high yields.

As time went on, more and more sediment was brought upstream, and many small islands slowly joined together to form land.

The swamps, rivers and lakes are slowly disappearing, and the contiguous plains are getting bigger and bigger – and by the 21st century, there are still remnants of such "small island" stacks in northern Jiangsu, which can be glimpsed.

These stacked fields in Guangchengze will also be contiguous into land in the future, which is a rule, and it is a matter of time and time.

"This rice was just planted?" Shao Xun looked at the newly grown green seedlings and asked.

"Yes, Empress Hui sent people to Xincheng, Luhun and other places to recruit, and some of the displaced people who went south from Hanoi, a total of more than 400 households, cultivated more than 60 hectares——"

"Battlements."

"Yes, more than 60 acres of fields have been cultivated." Yang Ming said.

Henan and Hanoi two counties, since Cao Wei has had famous rice (Xincheng rice, Hanoi green rice), the local rice cultivation has a certain scale, and it is true that you can find many households who are good at planting rice, but——

"It's been almost a year, and Queen Hui has spent a lot of money, so she got these?" Shao Xun sighed and asked.

The shirt field taken over by the Nanyang Leshi team was originally carried out by Yang Xianrong, and Yang Ming was in charge of managing a group of reclamation servants from Nanyang County.

At the end of the year, the production was very low, and the servants chewed and ate it, leaving only a little less, so they let the servants take it home themselves.

This year, it was fully taken over by Nanyang Le's people, but it has nothing to do with Yang's.

Yang Xianrong began to look for people who were good at planting rice to come to Guangchengze last year, and it took so long to open up more than 60 hectares with the assistance of the servants.

This efficiency is not as good as burning wasteland.

The master of the five counties built a large number of houses, cut down a lot of bamboo and wood, and vacated a large area of land.

In addition, there are many barren meadows.

A fire burned, I don't know how enjoyable it was - uh, I don't know how many fields can be burned.

"That's it, Queen Hui is also on the way for me." Shao Xun felt that the sacrifice of the sheep should be based on encouragement, after all, she didn't spend her own money.

Moreover, the swamp really needs to be cleaned up deeply.

He mentioned the field once, and Yang Xianrong remembered it and put it into practice, although it was not bad to make such a small rice field.

These more than 60 hectares of land, leave it to her to play with herself, what do you like, I don't rarely ask her for this little thing.

"After Wang Mi was in turmoil, Empress Hui sent people north to Hanoi to recruit people." Yang Ming continued: "The Xiongnu are raging, and the people of Hanoi are confused and uneasy, and there are many people who are willing to abandon their families and businesses and go south to become the guest of the village. Empress Hui plans to recruit 500 new households and continue to expand the number of fields next year. ”

It's on hand with rice!

Shao Xun nodded and said, "Empress Hui is quite disciplined, admire." ”

Yang Ming looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "Empress Hui said that if the prince enters Xiangyang in the future, we will need our own people." ”

When Shao Xun heard this, he became serious.

He had never been to Xiangyang.

But he knew that at this time, the Jianghan area had a very low degree of development, and the water network was dense, not much worse than Huainan.

In fact, don't look at Xiangyang and Jingzhou during the Three Kingdoms, they were often seen in historical books, and wars were frequent, but until the Tang Dynasty, these two places were not densely populated areas, and the degree of development was not high.

Farther south than Xiangyang, at the turn of the Tang and Song dynasties, there were even a large number of barbarian tribes, and the Tang Dynasty specially set up the Wuchang military festival to make the town.

The Zhangchang Rebellion in Jingzhou a few years ago took two years to be quelled. And Zhang Chang is precisely a barbarian.

"Queen Hui is far-sighted, and she is really a woman among the women." Shao Xun praised.

"Empress Hui sent people to Mount Tai yesterday to bitterly state the benefits, and the elders in the clan heard the name of the prince and the marquis, so they must have made a decision." Yang Ming said again.

"The land of Qingyan......" Shao Xun shook his head, looked at Yang Ming seriously, and said, "Don't look at Wang Mi leaving, but Gou Xi is not easy to get along with." His younger brother Gou Chun, extremely murderous and fierce, will definitely force the Qingzhou fathers and elders. Moreover, the war in Hebei is endless, and once it cannot be controlled, it will inevitably spread to Qingyan. The Yang clan is a hairpin family, and if you stay in Qingyan, you will suffer a heavy blow sooner or later. How does Langya Wang's business work? The sheep should think about it. ”

Diversification is the family's forte, but the investment style of Taishan Goat is too conservative, and there has been a serious misjudgment in the investment direction and share.

In today's social environment, all careerists are pulling investment and sponsorship.

Liu Yuan was the most hard-working, and he was even inferior to Shao Xun and Gou Xi, two warriors with low backgrounds, because he was the Xiongnu regime.

However, Liu Yuan has a large "registered capital" and a small "financing demand", which is his advantage.

"What the prince said is very true." Yang Ming replied: "The brothers Gou Xi and Gou Chun are more severe in punishment and law, and they kill without permission, causing public resentment to boil, and they are Taishan Goat's clan, and they have been repeatedly coerced by it. This person doesn't seem to be able to live in Qingzhou for a long time. It's good that there is no foreign enemy, but if someone attacks, Gou Xi will be defeated sooner or later. ”

Shao Xun nodded slightly.

The Taishan Goat clan still has a background and can understand many things. But I can see clearly, there has to be action, I'm waiting for the rice to go to the pot.

After leaving Zhilan Courtyard, Shao Xun went to his ranch to take a look.

The horses that were snatched back have been going on for two years.

After the rebellion of Wang Mi, the price of horses skyrocketed. In the past two days, some people have come to talk about buying horses, and seven or eight hundred horses have been finalized one after another, and about two or three hundred thousand grains can be earned. Considering that Yushanwu and Panyuan suffered from the scourge of thieves, Jinguyuan and Shaoyuan were also affected to a lesser extent, and the expenses after the expansion of the army at the end of last year, these grains were only enough to make up for the loss.

Removing these horses, as well as the number of horses that died of old age and disease, and the number of horses lost in the war, the number of horses in the wild in the Guangchengze Ranch will drop to about 5,000.

The horse is purely a consumable.

On the battlefield, 10,000 arrows were fired.

When he rushed to kill, there were many knives and guns.

No matter how you choose the timing, it is inevitable that the loss of the war horse will be lost.

During the rapid march, there is also a risk of loss of riding horses and pack horses.

When encountering dangerous road sections, the horse loses its front hooves and the horse will also lose a lot of money.

Without hematopoietic function, the number is bound to decline gradually.

Fortunately, after many searches, the number of mares has exceeded 100.

In Guangcheng Garden, there are also dozens of foals, all of which have been born one after another in the past two years.

Well, unlike the "eunuch horses" seized from the Xianbei people, they can continue to reproduce and slowly expand their populations.

It's a good start.

When the number reaches a certain level in the future, we can try to engage in horse politics.

Horses must not be allowed to mate freely.

Genes such as body size, speed, temper, strength, endurance, and disease resistance should be slowly purified, and the functions of horses should also be slowly differentiated.

Rushing horses emphasize impact and speed.

Running horses emphasize endurance.

Horses pulling carts emphasize strength and resistance to rough feeding.

Horses for travel - uh, no requirements, mediocre ones will do.

In short, this is a long-term, systematic project.

Distinguishing uses and scientific breeding is what traversers should advocate, and it is also the right direction for horse breeding.
