135 Harvest

Being married is like forming an alliance.

King Guiyi of Gaoche established a royal court on the shore of Baihai, and then he had to go to the pass through Baitan City to Lulongsai. Lulongsai was handed over to the Hanlu King tribe. When King Guiyi of Gaoche entered the pass, he walked on the official road of Youbeiping, which was just right through the ranch of King Khanlu.

The vast bride-seeking team can be seen by the shepherds along the way. Therefore, King Khan Lu said, "You can't lose the demeanor of the northern people in front of Gaoche Hu'er."

With this sentence alone, we can see that Wuhuan did not equate himself with the Hu outside the border. This is the result of Chineseization.

Therefore, King Khan Lu's dowry was filled with cattle and sheep and tens of thousands of slaves.

The so-called "rituals" are exchanged. The return of gifts should not be too light. Liu Bei ordered the family chief Geng Yong to ask the followers of King Guiyi, the mansion of the mansion. The introduction said that King Guiyi also wanted to try planting alfalfa outside the pass.

What's the difficulty?

Liu Bei couldn't ask for it. This ordered the craftsmen to build a three-legged cart, a mowing cart, etc. as a gift.

What King Khan Lu thought in his heart, and just ask Wu Lian. Wu Lian said that there were more than 3,000 under the command of the king, and he had three thousand elite cavalry, but he lacked military armor.

What's the difficulty?

The Xiwu Iron Cavalry and the Xilin Knight changed their clothes and swept the utensils and armors. Three thousand sets of the original ring-in-set equipment were selected and given to King Khan Lu.

Tens of thousands of slaves were all Hu people on the grassland. Many of them had families. They were plundered by Wuhuan. The women had already sold the men and young men in the town. They were the old and young men in the town, so they were sent to Linxiang as dowry. There were family members of these slaves in the town. After hearing Yan Rou’s report, Liu Bei learned the details. He ordered people to build a car building without mentioning it.

When the slaves arrived, they handed over the cattle, sheep, and horses that were dowed by the two families to these herders to raise. The Marquis of Linxiang was ashamed of having slaves, and tens of thousands of slaves would soon recover from their freedom. The future is promising.

Liu Bei asked Chen Yi. He was told that there are 7,012 households in Xilin, with more than 91,650 households.

If we move to another tens of thousands of people, the people in the town will exceed 100,000. Xilin City has three miles in a row, and the rails are arranged from east to west, and the chariots are arranged horizontally. There are no courtyards, so it is quite entrusted to people. The grasslands between the rails are mostly used by herders to walk horses. There are no cattle and sheep in the town. It is not difficult to transform the large stable into a cattle prison. Drinking milk in the town is a rise, so cattle and sheep are still useful. Moreover, farming is also inseparable from it.

As long as the herdsmen are asked to clean frequently, every household should take care of the land around their car building, and there will be no feces and smells.

Just after the spring, the Southern Xiongnu opened up wastelands and sowed alfalfa. The King of the Southern Xiongnu once wrote a letter asking whether Liu Bei could send craftsmen to the north to build a city for him. It happened that the construction of Nan Guangyang and the rice cultivation began, Liu Bei was unmanned. It has been dragged until now. A few days ago, he received a handwritten letter from the King of Southern Xiongnu. This year, he said that he would open up another million acres of alfalfa land. The cattle and sheep were endless. The wool all came to Lin Township. The fresh milk was too far away and could only be made into stew cheese and sold together. In exchange for various famous products in Lin Township. Especially the Dukang rice, the Xiongnu people also loved it.

Build a city and eat rice.

The Southern Xiongnu were further away from assimilation.

As for whether his blood will be worn out, Liu Bei is not worried at all.

Don’t the Han people value martial arts?

Confucian scholars nowadays also wear swords.

Even in Linxiang, Kong Wu was powerful and could chase tigers through the stream and crack tigers and leopards. There were also many people who were there.

The population will be under one million. The contribution will be more than 50 million next year.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no war in the north in the past few years, Liu Bei stepped up his farming. Wait until the troops are good and the food is sufficient, and a battle can be decided.

The northern region is cooked every year, which is a common example. However, there is still a turning point. Linxiang hot springs are geothermal and rich in resources. There are several places in Yichang. The water temperature is extremely high. Chicken (eggs) can be cooked, which is similar to boiling soup. Liu Bei estimated that it was about 80 degrees Celsius.

Previously, Liu Bei ordered people to try to draw out the hot spring water to see if it could replace firewood and keep warm for the city. A team of craftsmen dug canals along the way and led the hot spring water down the mountain. However, the heat loss was too great. When the ground was flat, it was close to room temperature.

When a craftsman came to report, he needed to build a culvert and cover it with soil and stones. He dredge water to keep it warm. The cost was too high. After reporting to Liu Bei, he lost the following. As a result, the dug hot spring water diversion canal flowed into the adjacent dam. At the end of the year, the smoke from the paddy field was filled with smoke and it was not frozen.

The old farmer went to the field to try it, and the water body was as warm as spring.

Come to report to Liu Bei, you may grow a season of indica rice!

Although the early rice tastes poorly, it is excellent in brewing. Liu Bei ordered the old farmer to try planting. The fruits were harvested this spring.

Liu Bei was overjoyed. He ordered people to introduce several hot springs into the slope canals to nourish the farmland. Yichang is a radius of hundreds of miles, and can be cooked twice in one season.

The giant horse water flows green and flows forever, and it never freezes all year round. As the Linxiang water networks are connected into one, and the nearby hot spring water flows in, the paddy fields will not freeze even in the cold winter. As for whether the remaining cities can be changed to double-season rice, we still need to try planting again.

In winter, using hot spring thermal energy to accelerate rice seedling cultivation may achieve two ripening of late rice a year.

Seedling cultivation takes more than a month.

If you can grow seedlings in winter, you can save your term time. Well, Xu Jingzhe can plant seedlings after he goes.

During the Jingzhe season, it is the time when spring is warm, birds are singing, flowers are fragrant, and everything on the earth is revived. The temperature and climate are suitable for rice growth.

These are just Liu Bei's ideas.

I will only know whether it can be achieved after trying to plant it. I don’t know if it will consume the power of the ground when ripening twice a year. If the yield does not increase but decreases, it is better to ripen one season. Of course, the benefits of two seasons of rice are also very obvious. The gains a year are changed from one to two times. In this way, in case of famine or man-made disasters, there is still room for remedy. If one season fails, there are still two seasons.

Every time I grow rice, I feel like I am facing a great enemy. Because of the hard work of a year, I only have one season.

If it works, try planting first. If it works, it will be promoted throughout the country. If it is not feasible, there will be no losses. So Liu Bei ordered people to imitate the medicine garden near the hot springs and set up greenhouses. Choose all the good varieties and carry out winter rice seedling cultivation.

This spring, this batch of seedlings have been planted. After enduring the cold spring, they have grown well and are now harvested. Perhaps the harvest is not bad either.

Vegetables in the opposite season are not allowed nowadays. I don’t know if rice that has been raised in greenhouses is considered off-season. By the way, Liu Bei, the first person to cultivate rice in the northern land. All rice cultivation procedures come from Linxiang. There is no precedent to follow in the northern land. Perhaps, this can be used as a breakthrough to avoid being criticized by people at the time.

The summer heat gradually rises in July.

The convoy headed north and finally took the two teams back. In order to prevent cattle and sheep from eating the green seedlings in the north, Liu Bei heard that King Guiyi had entered the pass, so he sent a convoy to greet him. The cattle, sheep and horses all came across the sea through Pingbo Water Fort. The boats went back to Laishui and entered Linxiang Water Road and were then transported to Xilin Port.

The gift list also arrived with the boat.

There are 100,000 cattle and sheep, 3,000 horses, 10,000 slaves, countless furs, and ten hu of gems of various colors.

King Khan Lu did not give in too much.

There are 100,000 cattle and sheep, 1,000 horses, 30,000 slaves, countless rare furs, and ten beautiful Xianbei maids.

It's really shocking.

There are also many gifts for returning to the marquis in Linxiang.

For King Guiyi: Hundreds of three-legged carts, hundreds of mowed cars, one hundred thousand stones of Dukang rice, one thousand jars of pine spring brew, one million copper coins, ten boxes of horseshoe golden cakes, and one hundred cars of Lou Sang Mingcai.
