Da Wei Chun

Chapter 624

There were only a group of boys and a few Mr. Dong Hong in the village. Just after dinner, there was still a porcelain urn on the clay stove outside the school, and there was a little leftover wheat and rice in it.

There is a surplus, indicating that both the teacher and the student are already full.Ask again, all the people in the village, regardless of age, women and children, are given sufficient rations.Even the sick who can't walk, the disabled who can neither plow the fields nor peel the hemp, still have half a catty of dry wheat a day.

Compared with the young man at the foot of the Red Mountain who has no food and no soil, it is a heaven and an underground!
"how so?"

Li Xian glanced around and lowered his voice: "Your Majesty said that young people are the most difficult to live in. No matter if they eat too much or have too much energy, they will cause trouble..."

Daxi couldn't laugh or cry: that is Li Xian, but anyone else would never carry out a sentence that Li Chengzhi said casually so thoroughly...

After thinking about it for a while, he asked again: "Where did you invite me, sir?"

"You don't need to ask for help. I am a well-educated scholar who escaped disaster from Beizhen. After the villages were divided, they were recommended by the refugees from each village..."

"Educated people... are they all officials, or are they from powerful backgrounds?"

"There are quite a few petty officials selected to teach, but none of the officials and tyrants..."

Da Xi was startled: "Killed them all?"

"How can I, the teacher of justice in Xihai, do such a thing?"

Li Xianyi replied with a straight line, met Daxi's contemptuous eyes, and said bitterly: "Langjun ordered Shishu to lead the army to garrison the western region. Anyone with a family of more than a hundred tents or a group of tribes will not be allowed to enter..."

Da Xi said "Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."

"It took a few small fights to defeat me, but the general also knows that my Xihai army is strong and powerful, and has the advantage of firearms. Naturally, it is like cutting melons and vegetables..."

Li Xian was a little proud, "Then Uncle Shi, the defeated general, and Hao Qiang made a covenant with Yamashita: If they enter the country, both soldiers and civilians will have to disarm on the spot, the tribe and tribe will be disrupted on the spot, and another guard will be organized.

And all the old officials, chiefs, and patriarchs of the six towns either moved to serve in the new army, or entered the folk villages, temporarily took up township and party positions, and acted as civil affairs... If they are not suitable for both, it is easy to leave ..."

Da Xi had a weird face, and he didn't know how to evaluate Li Chengzhi.

It is not known whether the Six Towns Rebellion has anything to do with Li Chengzhi, but he definitely knew about it, otherwise Li Feng would not have ordered Li Feng to send troops to Nanbed Mountain, Daqi, and compete in Gancheng.

This can be regarded as completely cutting off the escape route of refugees and defeated soldiers to the north, and after going through untold hardships and traveling two thousand miles to the West Sea, they encountered obstacles again?
Besides the West Sea, where can these people go?
Once you pass Juyan Lake and Junji Mountain, you will be covered with Gobi and desert for thousands of miles. Not to mention how much food is left and whether it is enough to eat, but there is no water source at all.

Daxi slandered for a while, and then asked: "What about after that?"

"It is inevitable that there will be people who take risks, but Uncle Shi sacrificed the cannon, and in just one round, the soldiers were defeated. Seeing this, the rest naturally bowed their heads and obeyed..."

Another set of coercion and temptation?
Daxi could guess Li Shihou's methods with his toes, it was nothing more than a knife and gun and food in one hand.

It may not be very effective against leaders and generals, but it is always beneficial to small officials, small households, or poor people.In this way, more than [-]% of the scattered people should be subdued.And if the remaining [-]% insist on going their own way, it's hard to guarantee that they won't come to a nest on the spot to rebel...

This trick is playing hard to get, Li Chengzhi is pure green with fire!
Daxi sighed secretly, turned around casually and left the village, heading east again.

After walking past the end of the camp, there is a huge farmland.Looking around, there are only a few people, and there is no end to it.Except for the word "big", Daxi really couldn't describe the scene here.

He sighed slowly, and asked leisurely, "How wide is this room?"

"Nearly 28 miles from east to west, about 200 miles from north to south, can cultivate [-] million mu of land..."

"So big?"

Daxi was surprised, "Yesterday, the Duke also said that there is no land to grow in the West Sea, so the people have to change farming to pasture?"

"It is true that there is no land to grow, but it is not that there is no land to cultivate! Take a county as an example, the population is no more than a thousand households, and the cultivated grain fields are less than 20 mu. Adding the abandoned fields by the previous dynasty, nearly 200 ten thousand mu.

However, Mr. Lang didn't want to make troubles, so Jin ordered his father (Li Song) to abandon the fields near the county seat and south of Yanchi. As a result, the remaining half of the land was less than one million mu.Even if one household is only divided into [-] mu, it is only enough for [-] households, leaving more than [-] households with no land to cultivate...

But food is the most important thing for the people, whether it is grazing or working in factories, it is not a long-term solution.No matter how difficult it is, we still have to open up wasteland...

If there is a mountain blocking it, just move it, if there is a valley blocking it, just fill it up!As long as we work together, all people are united, and we spend a little more time, we can always open up enough fertile land for more than [-] households to live..."

How could Li Xian say such a thing?

Da Xi was stunned for a moment, and then he was relieved.

This truth should have been told to him by Li Song or Li Chengzhi.

But it was far from as difficult as Li Xian said.

Crossing Heli Mountain is Yimapingchuan River, and it reaches Junji Mountain for more than a thousand miles, all of which are lands with abundant water and grass.

As long as aquatic plants can grow, it means that the soil quality is not bad, and food can naturally be grown.The most important thing is that there is no shortage of water, and there is weak water passing through it, even if it is calculated from Zhenyi to Juyan Lake, it is still [-] miles away.

Not to mention how far the river will be diverted, but the land near the two banks will be reclaimed for more than ten or twenty li each. The eight hundred li long river bank will not only support more than ten thousand households, even if it is doubled four or five times, it will be enough. Live.

The only concern is that it takes too long.

This is a real wasteland, unlike the abandoned fields near Zhenyi City, which were originally cultivated land, which can produce grain after one or two years of drying.

Guo Xi estimated that it would take at least five or six years of cultivation, and as many as seven or eight years, before it could be called good land.

But whether Li Chengzhi has the patience to lie in the West Sea for five to eight years is still unknown...

Guessing in his heart, Daxi moved closer again.

It has been cultivated for a long time, and the ridges are neat and the ditches are convenient.Some half-grown boys were pouring water into the fields, and some old farmers were helping plows, plowing the half-opened fields.Then there were women carrying muslin sacks and sowing seeds in the fields.

Daxi was taken aback.

Since it was nearly September, and the west of Hexi was colder, it would snow in another month. Except for winter wheat, we would only harvest a handful of grass for anything else we planted.

But no matter how he didn't understand, Maizhong could still recognize it.

It looks like corn at first, but if you look closely, you will find that it is smaller than corn.But Daxi argued for a while, but he didn't recognize what it was.

It's not good to ask Li Xian for everything, otherwise it will appear that he is too incompetent as a superior.Daxi stood up seemingly unintentionally, and walked forward again.

Not far away should be the seeds sown a few days ago, and seedlings have grown in the ground, which looks quite gratifying.

"Clover?"

After identifying for quite a while, Daxi asked uncertainly.

It's not that he is well-informed, but that Xi Kangsheng is arty and elegant. He once came to Beijing during the Ching Ming Festival to accompany Yuan Ke to visit the Hualin Garden, when the alfalfa was blooming, like a sea of ​​gold. (Before the Tang Dynasty, alfalfa had not been introduced into the country, and it was all yellow alfalfa, so it was also called golden cauliflower).

He immediately asked Yuan Ke for some seeds, and planted them in the mansion after returning to Huazhou.Occasionally, when the interest comes, he will take Daxi to play around.After coming and going, Daxi naturally got an impression.

Xing recognized it, but he really couldn't figure out why he had to grow such a thing that could be seen but not eaten in the wasteland?

"What is the use of this species?"

"This is a good food. Not only cattle and horses like to eat it, but people can also eat it. It's very fat and tender..."

Li Xian pursed his lips, looking unsatisfied, "And it can fertilize the field... After three years at the most, it can be replaced with millet and wheat, and the yield per mu can be at least two stones..."

I don't know if it's still edible?
hmm, no...

Planting alfalfa for three years can make the field produce two stones more?
Bullshit!

Da Xi just wanted to ask who said it, but seeing Li Xian took it seriously and looked resolute, he swallowed the words again.

How old is Li Xian, and he has led the army for many years, what kind of farming does he know?
I'm afraid it was Li Chengzhi who said it again...

I have only heard that seeds (beans) can fertilize the field, but never heard that farming can also fertilize the field?
But after suffering a lot of losses, even if Li Chengzhi said that gold will fall from the sky, Daxi still has to think about it, how likely is it...

Since Li Chengzhi said yes, so be it.

Thinking about it, he picked up a few young leaves and put them into his mouth.A little bit of chewing is a mouthful of juice.

After a little smacking, Daxi's eyes lit up: This thing has a bean flavor, maybe it's the same kind as Shu?
No wonder Li Xian said that cows and horses can be eaten, and people can also eat them, and he still looks aftertaste?

And how did Li Chengzhi know?
It feels like there is nothing he doesn't understand from the sky to the ground?

But in Beijing for several years, from time to time, I would accompany the late emperor to visit the Hualin Garden, which can be seen at any time, why didn't I hear him dedicate the wonderful use of this thing to the late emperor?

Daxi hummed, half sarcastically, half admiringly, and said: "You know that this thing can be eaten by cattle and horses, and so can humans, but which book of the sages did your lord read it from?"

"Why do you need Mr. Lang to see it, even a certain one has read it!"

Li Xian shook his head and replied, "It is mentioned in "Historical Records: Biography of Dawan" and "Biography of the Western Regions":

Wan and so on use Pu Tao as wine, and the rich have stored more than [-] stones of wine, and the long-term ones are undefeated at ten years old.The vulgar is addicted to alcohol, and the horse is addicted to alfalfa.The envoys of the Han Dynasty took it, so the emperor began to plant alfalfa and grapes in fertile land.And there are many celestial horses, and the foreign envoys come to leave the palace to watch the grapes and alfalfa in great hope..."

Really?
Daxi's eyeballs popped out.

Sensing the look of disdain in Li Xian's eyes, he was even more annoyed: To be underestimated by a reckless guy?
I shouldn't have asked...

He waved his long sleeves, turned and walked towards his mount: "Back to camp!"

……

When we arrived at the camp, it was almost Youshi, and all the tribal leaders and patriarchs had been waiting for a long time.

Zhang Xinyi sat at the top, lazily leaning against the back of the chair, as if asleep.

The rest of the dozen or so people, either Han or Hu, sat upright, with their buttocks touching the edge of the chair.

When they saw Li Xian accompanied a tower-like general into the account, everyone felt as if they were being pricked by needles, and stood up with a whoosh.

Daxi naturally knew it well, among the dozens of people, none of them recognized him.The reason why it was so horrifying was because of Li Xian's lustful power.

It's just such a stupefied young man who only led a thousand soldiers, yet subdued more than [-] refugees and defeated soldiers?
Because only Li Xian could keep every word of Li Chengzhi's confession in his heart, and implement the policy of governing the people with both soft and hard, and both grace and power to the extreme.

After reading this on a whim, Daxi couldn't help feeling that Li Chengzhi employed people well and governed the people well.

Fortunately, he was worried that if the persecution was too severe, there would be no guarantee that the refugees would not rise up.But at this moment, looking at the fearful expressions of these leaders, it is clear that what these people are not afraid of is suffering or tiredness, but that the survivors of Hexi who came out of nowhere will drive them out of the West Sea and to Mobei.

But after doing so, it can be regarded as a bottom line: this job is not difficult to do.But to what extent you can do it depends on your own ability...

He pondered for a while, then waved his hand vigorously, as if holding a knife in his hand, and slashed at the enemy's neck: "Li Xian!"

Li Xian was dumbfounded.

It was the first time that Da Xi had called him by his first name since meeting him.

But his belief in Li Chengzhi was almost engraved in Li Xian's bones. If Lang Jun asked him to follow Daxi's lead, he would never be disrespectful.

After a short pause, Li Xian bent down and bowed: "The next official is here!"

"Yu'erlang sent an order to set up Xi's ceremonial tent outside the tent!"

"promise!"

Li Xian left in response, without any ambiguity, and his attitude was extremely respectful.

All the chiefs and leaders were still guessing who this person was, thinking that even Li Xian, the god of death, was so obedient to him, and heard Daxi say: "Xi is not talented, and he was originally the Duke of Anwu County, the marshal of the rebellion. Mr. Xi's account is under the order, and now Tian is the General of the West Sea, in charge of the military and civilian affairs of the six towns, and I hope you will give me your advice..."

Hearing this sentence, everyone who stood up and bowed to him was refreshed.

The Duke of Anwu County, Marshal of Dispute...isn't he Xi Kangsheng?
And this person is also surnamed Xi?
"Old and rude, dare to ask the general's full name?"

Daxi smiled lightly: "I was given the family name by my father's grace, so Xi doesn't have a Chinese name, so all the elders in the village can just call me Daxi..."

Daxi?

Isn't it the one named Congzi, who is actually the youngest son, who was brought by Xi Kangsheng's side for nearly ten years, and who never left his side day and night?
The true relationship between Daxi and Xi Kangsheng is not a secret, especially among the Xianbei people who know it, so some people immediately stared at Daxi in horror, as if they had seen a ghost.

Why is Xi Kangsheng's son here?
Didn't Li Xian claim to be the Western Sea Relics and not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court?

A group of people responded that they didn't dare, but they were all dumbfounded.

Zhang Xinyi secretly praised.

A good move to grab the head start?
First, Li Xian was dispatched to show his status as a superior.Then he reported himself to his family and let these people know that he is not a needy person.In particular, Xi Kangsheng's status as a concubine made the people in the hall feel like the rain after a long drought, and they knew each other when they were in trouble, and they were born with a sense of intimacy.

And then apply favorable policies to loosen Li Xian's strategy of being more hard than soft, these people will not be grateful, at least they will vent the grievances accumulated for many days...
