Chapter 962
At that time, my colleagues who had been busy all night came to report their work. They all did a good job and had no loopholes. All the orders issued were issued in the form of passwords. You can see what Tubo would look like in about a month.
"Well, it's great, but you must remember another task, telling the 'merchants' walking in India and the Indochina Peninsula, maps of the city-states of India and the Indochina Peninsula, as well as sand tables for strategic locations. Whether they spend money or use any other means, they must be handed over to General Li Ji, the chief general of the Jiannan Road marching. This is a deadly order, and it is related to the overall situation. Slackness is never allowed. Once completed, I will ask Your Majesty for rewards. Do you understand?" I whispered to all the colleagues present at the Enzu Academy.
"No!" Everyone responded respectfully. After handling official duties, I finally walked out of the official office of the Zuyuan. Fang Cheng and Bonalljin had been waiting in the gatehouse, and they were squatting together and slept soundly. It could be seen that these two loyal servants were working hard enough. They seemed to hear footsteps. Fang Cheng narrowed his eyes. After seeing me, he immediately stood up and kicked Bonalljin beside him. "Young Master, you finally figured it out. Should we go back to the house or go to Weinan?"
"Go to Weinan. There are still a lot of things waiting for me to deal with. By the way, I will go back to the mansion first and call a carriage. I am tired, so I can take a nap in the carriage." I stepped out of the government office, took a deep breath of air, moved my arms, and smiled at Fang Cheng next to me.
This year, after listening to the memorials of the court and my elder brother, Uncle Li finally ordered the implementation of a three-year promotion plan in Jiangnan Road to vigorously promote and promote double-season rice cultivation. The Liaodong Road area is vigorously promoting new technology agriculture. The number of horses increased by the Tang Dynasty every year is really a bit shocking. In the past, horses were only used for military purposes, and officials were also used by civilians. In addition, the road conditions made the speed of horses also not be exerted. In addition, horses are much more expensive than cows, so horses are not as practical as cows for ordinary people.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------�
Nowadays, the traded horses and raised horses in the Tang Dynasty have exceeded the national expectations, and the vigorous promotion of horse-drawn plows has made the weight of horses in agricultural farming increasingly heavy, especially in the newly developed areas of Liaodongdao, Hetao and Longyou, where the use of horse farming land has exceeded that of cattle farming several times. In the entire area north of the Yellow River, the plowing horses have reached 380,000. This is a very difficult land data. Moreover, every year, the government will continue to sell or give it to the people for 50,000 to 70,000 land.
If this continues, within ten years, the number of folk horses in the Tang Dynasty would definitely exceed one million. In addition, Uncle Li decided to set a region before Liaodong Road and Hetao to raise large-scale horses and Persian horses. He strives to form a new horse group in the Tang Dynasty in the area north of the Luoshui River, so that these horses would not be completely assimilated by the land horse breeds on the land of China in more than a hundred years.
At least, Uncle Li decided to establish the three major horse areas of the Tang Dynasty. One was the Ili horse in Longyou land, the second was the Turkic horse in the north, and the third was the big-foot horse and Persian horse in the northeast. We strive to form three horse sources in China. After many negotiations with Persia and other countries, the number of horse tributes paid in Persia and Central Asia each year accounted for one-third of the paid amount of weapons transactions. More than a thousand Persian and big-foot horse breeds went to Yunzhou, Shuozhou and Shengzhou for generations to grazing those tribes. Of course, the original horse breeds must be replaced to avoid the interaction of the horse breeds and lead to population degradation.
As cement straight roads gradually spread across the country, the scope of horses has become wider and wider. In addition, horses are oversupply for the country. Therefore, government agencies have now lifted the ban, and the scope of horses has gradually expanded. They are already in the wheat cultivation areas north of the Yangtze River and are located in wheat cultivation areas.
The south also relaxed the ban, but it had not been cancelled. In Chang'an, there were ox carts everywhere, and the squeaking sounds were so slow that it was crazy. But now, the scenes of furious horses and hooves on the spring river can be seen everywhere. The price of horses has dropped to less than a thousand yuan compared to the price of good horses in Zhenguan for several years. As for ordinary horses, it is no longer a private matter for ordinary wealthy families to have one or two horses.
Now, with the help of Uncle Li, the people of Weinan have begun to use horse-drawn plows. The construction of nearly 20 collective ecological farms in Weinan has begun to show their scale. As for Old Man Zhao and the old farmers who made bets with me last year, they now listen to me almost everything.
And I also wanted to help them, so instead, Old Man Zhao and others were the first to build a collective ecological farm. As for the agricultural experts sent to the area, they were already exhausted in the Weinan area. Fortunately, Uncle Li was generous and dispatched nearly 20 agricultural personnel from the Ministry of Works to Weinan to learn while helping the local people.
Most of the seeds of various fruits and vegetables sold by merchants from foreign countries and Tang Dynasty have been successfully cultivated. Just like the cabbage and cucumbers successfully cultivated in vegetable greenhouses, they were all obtained by merchants from the farther West from the farther West. After all, we bought them with huge amounts of money. Now there is no national conservatism. Well, the only one who wants this kind of ideology is the Tang Dynasty. As for those Western barbarians, they are probably wandering around the mountains and forests at this time, and they don’t know which country they belong to.
The Yixue School in Weinan has also been completed, and the inscription by my master was written by: Weinan Hope Yixue School. There are not many students, only about 300, but the number of people is several times that of Weinan's official county schools. Most of the 300 people are between the ages of seven or eight and thirteen or fourteen.
All the textbooks were donated by Qujiang Academy. In addition, the teachers were also taken care of by some students in the academy who were interested in education. For these substitute teachers, Weinan Hope Yixue gave them quite good treatment. Moreover, I also made a promise to them that they would go to teach, and I allowed them to take a break from school for a year. After a year, they could go back to the academy to continue their studies. After a year, someone would naturally take over their jobs.
"Sir, you have finally come. I have been waiting here for a long time." Wu Sheng and others were already looking forward to the gate of Yixue, but I was late due to the harassment of a bad person. I jumped off my horse and replied to these people: "Sorry, because some official duties have been delayed, I hope you don't blame me for being negligent."
"Where is it, the adults can come to preside over the ritual ceremony in person. It is the blessing of my gentry and the people of Weinan, and it is also the blessing of these more than 300 students. How dare you blame the adults? Haha, I dare to ask the adults, this young man is..." Du Lun replied quickly, but the old guy couldn't help but look at the young man in brocade clothes standing beside me, smiling and smiling.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------�
"Oh, this is a disciple of my official. His surname is Wu, his name is Youren, and his name is Huizi. I heard that my master was coming to preside over this charity ceremony, so I came to join in the fun." I talked wildly, and the young man next to me who was originally smiling very moistly suddenly froze in place, and the smile on his face almost couldn't be stopped. However, when these Weinan gentry heard that this guy was my student, they naturally did not dare to neglect and went forward to greet him.
However, several gentry were a little puzzled. Wu Youren, whose name is Hui, is such a mess. But looking at my serious appearance, I naturally didn't dare to point out that I, the fourth-rank county magistrate of Weinan, was talking nonsense here. Besides, the person who gave this name did not refute, so I followed everyone to make a fuss.
The young man could only give a humble gift while laughing and crying. He finally got to know each other and walked in with me. "Brother Jun, are you really too cruel? What did you do if you cure a person well? " This is the representative of my fence-leading sect in the Tang Empire, an outstanding young man, and the current crown prince Li Zhi.
I don't know if this guy was crazy about his forehead. He spent three days eating and drinking at my house, and he didn't mean to go back to Chang'an. He also said that Uncle Li asked him to go to the countryside to experience the hard life of the people and understand the people's livelihood and sufferings on the spot. Well, I understand Uncle Li's good intentions. But the problem is that Li Zhi, a shameless person, had nothing but eating and sleeping in the past three days, as if he was raising spring fat here. I was so angry that I almost wanted to use a big stick to drive this guy out of the house.
Chapter completed!
