Dozens of large ships sail slowly above the Yellow River.

The February season is a little cold.

But Liu Mingguan, who was standing on the bow of the boat, was full of energy, looking at the scenery on both sides of the straits and sighing.

"I didn't expect that the 800-li Qinchuan, who gave birth to the old Qin people, has now become like this." He said, "Mingqi, if you continue like this, will the scenery in Shaanxi become increasingly ugly?"

Next to him is Liu Mingqi.

What Liu Mingguan said was naturally the mountain with fruit dew on both sides of the shore, which looked yellow and bare, but was slightly green.

The mountain soil can be seen with naked eyes, and they are a little shaky and want to fall down and mix into the water of the Yellow River.

Literatures are more aware of the concept of green mountains and clear waters, because these are recorded in historical books.

But they don't understand more about ecosystems.

Liu Mingqi took the opportunity to say, "Brother Mingguan, this is actually a holistic concept. Because the people lack fuel to cook and keep warm, they keep cutting down trees, which reduces the trees, so they cannot hold on to the soil under them, and the soil will slowly slide into the Yellow River like you saw just now.

It doesn’t matter if one or two sections are the case, but if the upper reaches of the Yellow River are like this, the silt and sand in the Yellow River will accumulate more and more. Once the silt and sand accumulate over several years and decades, it will inevitably push the water level to continue to rise.

But this kind of thing is nothing on weekdays. If you encounter heavy rainstorms upstream or icebergs melt more, it will be wrapped with more river sand and water, and swarm to impact the downstream, resulting in the flooding of the Yellow River on the Central Plains, and the water dragon breaks through the embankment and destroys all visible land.

At the same time, once this kind of soil and soil cannot be maintained, the upper reaches of the Yellow River will become increasingly poor, and there will be no land to be cultivated, and there will be no good water sources to use, so that the people will become increasingly poor. But on the other hand, they will become more and more poor, and they will rely on cutting down trees in exchange for a more expensive expense.

So the scene you see now is actually a huge hidden danger to our Dakang. If you ignore it for a long time, it will take only one or two hundred years, the Yellow River will flood once every three or five years, and the disaster will become more and more serious, and the people of Dakang will become more and more poor, which is also normal."

Liu Mingguan was stunned when he heard this.

He was originally lamenting that the scenery on both sides of the Yellow River is not as beautiful as before.

Who knew that Liu Mingqi had told him so much.

Although Liu Mingguan is a literati who likes to recite poems and writes correctly, he is very kind-hearted and not the kind of heartless noble child.

Recalling the serious consequences of Liu Mingqi's statement, his face became solemn: "Since that's the case, have you ever made any comments to the emperor?"

"Of course I said it." Liu Mingqi said first, "They had to discuss it seriously and do something... As a result, they encountered an enemy invasion at the beginning of last year... According to the current situation, it would be lucky to return to normal for three years, and starting to do their best to manage it five years later is considered a celebration."

Liu Mingguan frowned: "It will take five years to do it? Wouldn't it take ten years to do it?"

The boy laughed silently, "Brother Mingguan, you think too simple, this is not that simple thing! Replanting trees to prevent water and soil from being lost is only one aspect. The key is to make the people rich. Otherwise, if they are poor, they will have to keep cutting down trees. In this way, can our planting speed be comparable to their cutting speed?"

"So it will take a long time?" Liu Mingguan asked.

"It is God's blessing to be able to completely solve the hidden dangers of the Yellow River in three generations." Liu Mingqi smiled, "So we have a long way to go. For the sake of our descendants, we must never let go as hard as we do. We must not relax! If we take the hardships we should endure, they will live a better life!"

Liu Ming visualized for a moment and nodded seriously, "Mingqi, you are right! Then I will follow you and do something within my ability!"

"Brother Mingguan, you have more things to do." Liu Mingqi hesitated for a moment and did not say that I will wait for you to ascend the throne as queen, don't forget this matter.

Because according to the emperor's wishes, he was determined to support his unborn son.

But it was not very appropriate in Liu Mingqi's opinion.

It will take at least thirty years for a prince to mature from birth, and this is the best situation.

It is not surprising that the children raised by women in the deep palace are still a child when they are old.

And in the thirty years that have been waiting for him to mature, the variables are actually very large.

Many courtiers have their own ideas, but no one is pressing them on them, so they can easily let themselves go.

To put it bluntly, there is no central guiding ideology, and they do their own things, which instead results in the result of one plus one less than two.

If it were Liu Mingguan, when he succeeded to the throne, he would be almost forty years old, just the age of being young and strong.

At this time, he followed the direction set by Jing and Emperor and persisted in working hard for twenty years, and then he would achieve the effect of one plus one greater than three.

Wait a minute!

Didn’t Liu Mingqi say in front of the emperor that the emperor will definitely give birth to a prince, and then he is willing to support the little emperor?

nonsense!

You said in front of the emperor, your son is too young, please hand over the throne quickly... What would you think if you were the emperor?

No matter how good Jinghedi is, no matter how tolerant he is, he can't stand such words.

So Liu Mingqi must only say good things.

Of course, no matter what the final result is, he chose to accept it rather than mix it up.

Throughout history, all those who have been involved in the matter of establishing a crown prince are fools.

Especially when he is a royal family and a prince, who has become an emperor has a great influence on him?

So don’t blame Liu Mingqi for being a thief. Modern people like him know best what it means to protect themselves and do what they want to do.

As long as it does not prevent me from transforming Dakang, or cultivating scientific talents to invent various things, so that Dakang is far ahead of this era, it doesn’t matter.

Not to mention Liu Mingqi, I have thought so much.

Liu Mingguan didn't know whether he understood what Liu Mingqi meant. He smiled and patted the boy on the shoulder without saying much.

Liu Mingjing is a little lazy than the two of them.

The boy lay on the recliner, lazily resting on the sun lounger.

"Brother Mingguan, I said why did you follow us out to endure hardship?" Liu Mingjing said, "How good are you going to Jiangnan? Although eastern Jiangsu was affected by disasters, Anhui and Zhejiang are still prosperous. You can spend half a year wandering around Jiangnan, but end up running to the northwest to eat sand!"

“It’s different.”

Liu Mingguan laughed silently when he heard this, "Jiangnan is the scenery of Jiangnan, and the northwest has the scenery of northwest! If my father hadn't asked me to guarantee, I would have wanted to go to Jiayuguan, the world's number one pass!"

"Hey, I don't agree with you." Liu Mingjing turned over and sat up, "Shanhaiguan is the first level in the world!"

"This is the difference in dynasties and functions, so we have different understandings." Liu Mingguan was not angry and explained: "If it were thousands of years ago, when my Central Plains dynasty was still dominated by Shaanxi, then Jiayuguan was the number one pass in the world. Now that the capital is moving eastward, naturally, this dangerous place of defense will also be transferred."

After pausing, he said again: "But Jiayuguan has a very dangerous terrain. This time we can resist the attacks of the Western Qiang and the Uighurs, it has also made great efforts?"

Liu Mingjing has nothing to say now.

Because Jiayuguan is indeed so powerful.

If the Northwest General Huang Feiyang had not led 100,000 soldiers to defend the front lines of Jiayuguan, Wuwei and Zhangye this time, and firmly blocked the key points, the Uighurs and Western Qiang would have been able to gather 100,000 people to enter the mainland, and it was the kind without any scruples.

Because they could not conquer the front line of Jiayuguan, they were afraid that the Jiayuguan defenders would stab them in the butt, so they did not dare to attack with all their might.

But they also learned about Shiwei.

Crazy attacks on Jiayuguan, Wuwei and Zhang Ye on the front line.

Finally, due to the resolute defense in Gansu and the arrival of winter, the troops withdrew in disappointment.

But this also caused 70,000 casualties to Jiayuguan. If 50,000 young and strong people had not joined in, Jiayuguan would have been conquered long ago.

Liu Mingguan wanted to see this place of war in Dakang, but King Li felt that Jiayuguan, which had been almost defeated by half, was too dangerous and he was not allowed to go.

After glanced at the fleet behind him, Liu Mingguan smiled slightly and said, "But I can still follow you and go to the west to see it. Unfortunately, there is no trading market this year, otherwise it will be even more lively!"

"That's right."

Liu Mingjing immediately talked about the grand event of the northwest transactions that he heard from the butlers of the mansion and his servants.

Liu Mingqi definitely didn't think anything was there, but Liu Mingguan nodded repeatedly when he heard it, and finally couldn't help but sigh: "Tell me, they are doing business with us well. When Dakang becomes rich, more good things will be sold to them. They can sell our scarce war horses, cattle and sheep, medicinal materials, etc. How good is it for everyone to help each other? Why do they want to fight?"

"Isn't it because we are too rich that they want to get something for nothing?" Liu Mingjing said without hesitation: "We are hardworking, frugal, and accumulating... We have formed a strong and prosperous country over the past thousands of years. As a result, these people do not work in production, only know how to plunder, and naturally have the strongest opposition to us."

"Yes! Getting something for nothing is the biggest problem!"

Liu Mingguan sighed, "Thanks to you. Otherwise, we would be miserable this time! This is also true for you to go to the Small Tribe Alliance now... While I am grateful to you, I am also worried about you!"

"There is not necessarily any danger." Liu Mingqi smiled, "Besides, there are so many brothers behind us. Even if someone wants to use tricks, let them taste our anger!"

Liu Mingqi's martial arts value is not as good as Liu Mingjing, but when he heard him say this, Liu Mingguan became more relieved.

Because he believed in his cousin's abilities.
