Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 451 Green Storage (To make up for yesterday's chapter)
A few months later,

Helen's pregnancy got her wish.

At the same time, Concubine Xie Guifei and Mrs. Guo also had some movement in their stomachs. Seeing the Son of Heaven's diligence, Empress Dowager Sun couldn't help but smile from ear to ear, and ordered the waiters to add ingredients to Liu Yizhen's meals every day.

"No, I really can't make it up!"

Liu Yizhen, who had been squeezed in the palace for several months, finally couldn't bear this devilish day, and took Fan Daoji and Du Ji with him to the southern suburb of Chang'an to take refuge in Tao Yuanming's homestead.

Compared with Liu Yizhen's somewhat terrifying husband and wife state, Tao Yuanming and Liu Xingdi's state is undoubtedly more normal.

Now the eldest princess has moved here to live with Tao Yuanming, this is an open secret in Chang'an.

When Liu Yizhen arrived, Tao Yuanming was plowing in the fields, while Liu Xingdi accompanied him and helped him wipe the Han River.The breeze blew by, and the vicissitudes of life changed, just like an old couple.

"Sister! You didn't even go to see Yiji when he returned to the palace. He often complained to me that he left you alone."

Liu Xingdi smiled lightly, his face, which could not be called perfect, showed a rare simplicity.

"Yi Ji was only a few years old when he went to Jiufan, so he probably forgot my appearance long ago."

"What's more..."

She glanced at the man next to her affectionately, and said coquettishly, "Who says I'm alone?"

Liu Yizhen looked at the two with some taste, but he couldn't help feeling relieved.

Life is like a leaf, wandering all over the place, who dares to say that he will be able to fall in a place of peace of mind in the end, and turn it into a temple of peace of mind, enshrining half of his life?
This is probably the best ending for the two of them.

"How is Tao Gong doing recently?"

"good."

Tao Yuanming whispered in Liu Yizhen's ear with some fear: "It's just that the eldest princess is watching closely and won't let you drink."

He looked at Liu Yizhen helplessly, obviously wanting Liu Yizhen to intercede for him, after all, who knows that Tao Yuanming is a "drinking gentleman" who loves all kinds of wine, and if he is not allowed to drink, it will almost kill him.

"Stop it."

Liu Yizhen gave Tao Yuanming a white look.

"Did you forget what I said to you before? Wine, you must never touch it in the future!"

Counting the days, Tao Yuanming seems to be "returning to bed".

But what kind of life did Tao Yuanming live before?Drinking alcohol every day, staying at home and not exercising, even if there is nothing wrong, there should be something wrong.

Tao Yuanming, who was doing nothing but working in the fields now, was a bit black, and he couldn't see the slightest sign of his life being burned out. This kind of Tao Yuanming, who was alive and well, was what Liu Yi really wanted to see.

Tao Yuanming, who was rejected by the emperor, hid aside and drew circles, saddened, and his longing for that fragrant fragrance almost reached the essence.

"Tao Gong, what you said really happened?"

Of course, it is impossible for Liu Yizhen to come out of the palace just to spy on their married life.

In fact, the mission that Liu Yizhen gave to Tao Yuanming before he left for the expedition finally got news today.

Although Tao Yuanming seemed a little sad because of his refusal, he still led Liu Yizhen to a cellar: "Qingchu, everything is done."

Opening the door of the cellar, Liu Yizhen felt as if he had been slapped in the face by a fermented smell.

He covered his mouth and nose, and looked at Tao Yuanming with fearful eyes: "Is this taste? Tao Gong is sure that cows and horses can eat it?"

Tao Yuanming was obviously a little upset when others questioned his achievements, even if this other person was the emperor.

"Your Majesty find some cattle and horses and try it, so you will know?"

Liu Yizhen waved his hand and asked Du Ji to bring his own horse to see if the green reserve could successfully complete the task of supplying the horse.

Du Ji's war horse is the best Xiliang war horse, and it is also the mainstream of the cavalry in the Song army. As long as this horse can eat the green storage, other war horses can naturally eat it.

The war horse came to the green storage cellar with its neck held high.

Surprisingly, the horrible smell didn't make it shy away like a human being, but became visibly excited, and actively chewed the mushy silage with its neck down.

"It's really possible!"

The significance of the success of the green storage for the control of nomads will be epoch-making!

With green storage, a large number of nomads can be controlled in an area, and city-states can be built in it to spread civilization.

Liu Yizhen found a few more war horses, and found that they did not reject the silage fodder, and laughed excitedly: "Mr. Tao! Just because of the silage, you can't lose your position as a prince!"

"Duke?"

Tao Yuan, who didn't hear anything outside the window, obviously didn't understand the turmoil in the court very well, and didn't quite understand the weight of these two words in Liu Yizhen's mouth.

"Well, Duke."

In order to develop Liu Song in the future, technical talents cannot escape.

Just like conferring Liu Muzhi the Duke of Wu, for this kind of talent, the imperial court should introduce someone to make an example.

Who is more suitable than Tao Yuanming for this model?

In terms of identity, he is a descendant of Tao Kan.

In terms of status, he is the leader of scribes.

In terms of contribution, because of Champa Rice, Tao Yuanming had been "canonized in the world" a long time ago, and it is absolutely no exaggeration to give it to a prince.

But Liu Yizhen didn't go to tell Tao Yuan in detail, otherwise, if he found out, he would have a bad temper and Liu Yizhen would have refused.

Tao Yuanming naturally didn't know that Liu Yizhen had "sold" himself in his heart, and he was still explaining to Liu Yizhen the issue of large-scale production of green reserves.

"A large amount of soybeans, pumpkins and other crops will be added to the green storage. These things are not food, and the yield is also low. If His Majesty wants to promote the green storage on a large scale, these things must be resolved."

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

The best raw material for green storage is corn stalks, but the problem is that this thing is still in America, even Liu Yizhen can't get it.

As for the remaining crops, Liu Yizhen decided to plant them on the Hetao Plain.

The Hetao Plain is definitely not a big granary in Liu Yizhen's plan.

With the promotion of Champa rice, Liu Song's grain output has increased dramatically in recent years, so there is really no need to worry about the Hetao Plain.

not to mention……

Below the Hetao Plain is the Loess Plateau.

Once the Hetao is developed on a large scale, the Loess Plateau will be abandoned.

Once the Loess Plateau is abandoned, the big river will really become the Yellow River.

Once it becomes the Yellow River... the whole north will suffer!

Talking about "ecological protection" with today's people is obviously playing the piano against the cow, but fortunately, Liu Yizhen can use the imperial power to forcefully promote the implementation of this measure.

Just when Liu Yizhen's thoughts drifted to the north, he heard Tao Yuanming shout: "Zhanzhi! Bring yesterday's green storage and show it to the emperor!"

Zhanzhi?

Liu Yizhen had a strange look on his face, and when he looked back, he found that it was indeed a familiar face——

Isn't this my nephew Xu Zhanzhi?

Tao Yuanming... just subdued the future Prime Minister Liu Song?
