Chapter 958 Planting Trees
"Originally, the imperial court was at a time when there was a shortage of personnel, and most courtiers held several positions. I also hoped that this imperial examination would allow the imperial court to recruit more newcomers." Li Shimin took a sip of his drink impatiently.

Empress Changsun said in a low voice: "Lizhi's letter also said that the various taxes in Luoyang are much higher than before, and even Jingyang can feel that Luoyang wants more and more goods."

Li Shimin took Empress Changsun's letter and looked at the content and said: "What Lizhi means is that if you don't help Li Zhengxie to build this road, Luoyang will be more prosperous than Chang'an, and Chang'an will be more isolated instead?"

Empress Changsun poured wine for Li Shimin and said, "Didn't you say Lizhi's letter? Chang'an is located in the northwest of the Central Plains, and Luoyang is in a very critical position both in terms of geography and water and land transportation."

Li Shimin ate a chicken leg and said: "Of course Li Zhi thinks so when she is in charge of Jingyang's business. This kid Li Zheng is only thinking about making money, and he wants to build roads just to make money for him."

Empress Changsun smiled helplessly, knowing in her heart that this was His Majesty's prejudice against Li Zheng. In fact, Chaozhong had already tasted the sweetness of road construction.

His Majesty and Li are in the relationship between the Weng and the Son, but it is also a very difficult relationship between the Weng and the Son.

I used to think that the relationship would be better after Lizhi got married.

But now it appears that relationship has not eased.

It was snowing again in the cloudy sky.

Empress Changsun looked at the snow falling outside the window and said, "It's almost spring, why is it still snowing?"

Li Shimin also looked up at the snow scene outside, and remained silent.

After planting the saplings with the children, Li Zhi packed up and went home.

Now the green belt west of Jingyang has become a large scale.

The saplings planted over the past few years have also grown well.

Stepping on the loess, Li Zhi could feel that the loess under his feet was much stronger than before.

The teacher wants to plant trees all the way to Longxi. In the past two years, it can be clearly felt that the wind and sand blowing from Longxi has become less and less than in previous years.

Li Zhi knew very well that the teacher is a person who likes money, and planting trees is a thankless task.

Planting a tree requires money to find saplings, and there is no money to collect the tree after planting it.

The idea of ​​anti-sand forest is not very popular.

Some people even think that Li Zheng planted trees just to make money.

Li Zhi looked at the anti-sand forest here. In fact, the teacher did this to resist the wind and sand, and did not mean to make money.

After returning to the village, Li Zhi told Li Zheng about the current situation of sand prevention construction.

Li Zhi pointed to the map and said: "Our sand prevention forest is about to be built in Longxi, but people may not be willing to plant trees to the boundary of Longxi."

Knowing who Li Zhi was talking about, no one would say anything about planting trees in his Jingyang land boundary, since it is just wasteland anyway.

If it is true that the trees are planted in Longyou, they still need to be nodded.

Just like if you want to plant trees on the side of the road, it will also hinder every household. You have to discuss it with every household along the way.

Seeing that Li Zheng hadn't spoken for a long time, Li Zhi asked, "Teacher, do you want to talk to Father?"

Turning his gaze away from the map, Li Zheng remembered the days when the sky was full of wind and sand in later generations. At that time, he lived on a high loess slope. There is always dust.

Although it is also being rescued in later generations, the results will not be seen in a short time.

Until there are fewer and fewer people living on the Loess High Slope.

Those who can go out will never come back.

Who wants to live in a place full of wind and sand.

From the beginning of the pre-Qin period to the present, the land in Guanzhong has been being reclaimed, and a population is needed to fight wars.

Increasing the population will inevitably require more food.

At that time, when there was no high-yield grain, people could only reclaim more land to grow grain.

This also led to large areas of forests becoming fields, and then fields becoming deserts.

Desertification will also become more serious.

I don't know if it will be too late to start from Datang.

"Teacher?" Seeing that Li Zheng was silent, Li Zhi asked in a low voice.

"Did you know? In the next few hundred years, on the Loess Plateau in Longxi and even west of Longxi, the dust situation will become more and more serious." Li Zheng said in a low voice.

"Then do we need to continue planting?" Li Zhi whispered.

"Plant, of course." Li Zheng said: "Go back to the academy first."

"understood."

Li Zhi poured Li Zheng a cup of hot water before leaving.

Walking to the gate of the academy, Li Zhi bumped into Daniel.

Daniel looked at Li Zhi's expression and said, "Have something on your mind? You don't even look in front of you when you walk."

After regaining his senses, Li Zhi raised his head and realized that he had walked to the wall, and if he took another step forward, he would hit the wall.

Turning around and sitting by the wall, Li Zhi said, "Brother Big Niu, why do you think the teacher is so obsessed with planting trees?"

Daniel thought for a while and said, "I don't know either."

Li Zhi continued: "But since the trees were planted, the wind and sand in Jingyang has indeed decreased a lot, and the queen mother also said that living in Jingyang is very comfortable."

Daniel said: "I heard from my teacher before that sand prevention forests should be planted in the northwest and west of the northeast, so as to avoid the invasion of wind and sand."

Li Zhi nodded slightly, "Others say that the teacher loves money, but in fact, the teacher also wants to do good deeds in his heart."

Daniel said again: "Actually, I also thought about it. Now the forest west of Jingyang is already in shape, and after a few years when the trees grow stronger, the land will become even better."

Speaking of this, Daniel picked up the sand on the ground and said: "Trees can fix the soil. If you plant trees in the wasteland, the soil in the forest will become more fertile after a few years. Have you ever thought about it? Even after more than ten years, people see that the land has become fertile again, they cut down the forest, razed the forest to the ground, cultivated it into fields, and planted food.”

"After planting food, the field becomes a desert again."

Li Zhi stood up immediately and said: "Then the trees we planted for so many years are all in vain."

Daniel smiled and said, "Not everyone thinks so long ago. A person's lifetime may only last five or sixty years. Do you think they will think about hundreds of years later?"

Li Zhi frowned and said, "There shouldn't be so many people who want to. If we can continue to plant trees, we can even plant them in the Hexi Corridor, making the Hexi Corridor a forest. When the sky is clean, there will be no wind and sand."

After finishing speaking, Li Zhi stood up and said, "I'm going to write a letter to my father, and let my father order to plant trees. As long as there is my father's order, no one will object."

Watching Li Zhi leave quickly, Daniel shook his head and sighed.

Duan Lun, who had been listening to the conversation between the two, said, "This matter is not so easy."
