Destiny Only Han

Changle Palace, Xuanshi Palace.

Liu Ying leaned on the rattan chair, with more than a dozen memorials in front of her. She seemed to be in deep thought, but she was actually in a daze unconsciously.

Without him, hot.

Although the fan behind him has been upgraded from the previous rattling mechanical fan to a real electric fan, after all, it is almost June and no matter how hard the fan works, what it blows out is hot air.

Especially his hair is very long, whether it is coiled or braided, it is equally hot and flies away...

But there is nothing to do about the heat, and he can only endure it. After all, the queen of the empire is still in the confinement stage at this time. As an emperor, he can't take a group of concubines or go to Linguang Palace alone to escape the summer heat...

Regret, in short, very regret... Liu Ying shook her head again, feeling that she had forgotten to let Lu Yu live in Lin Guang Palace a month or two earlier.

But obviously, this is impossible.

After all, the ancients paid attention to etiquette, Changle Palace was the power center of the Han Empire, and Lu Yu gave birth to a crown prince, the future emperor of the empire.

And as an emperor, he was doomed to be born and die in the main hall of the palace.

The one or two generations of emperors who founded the country did not have this condition, but as the fourth in name, in fact, the third generation of the Han Dynasty, Liu Yan wants to take over the throne in a legitimate way. It is his destiny to be born in the purple room and die in the purple room. !

Therefore, this heavy palace ban is actually the emperor's cage... Liu Ying was full of emotion, bowing her head to her winter tour to the west and making preparations for the next spring tour to the south.

During this winter tour to the west, he plans to go to Qilian Mountain to see the snow, and follow the example of King Mu of Zhou and the Queen Mother of the West...

Well, in fact, it is to plan a potash fertilizer production area.

Golmud from Qinghai Lake to the west, and Lop Nur to the west are the main concentration of potash fertilizer production capacity in China.

At this time, Lop Nur is rich in water and grass, a vast country, and it is too far away from the country and the roads have not been repaired. Therefore, the cost of obtaining potash fertilizer from there will inevitably be much higher than that of Golmud, which is almost next to Xihai County.

Therefore, Liu Ying put down her travel itinerary, picked up the memorabilia submitted by Cao Shen about the pacification of the Qiang rebellion, glanced at it for a while, and then looked at the Bank of China who was standing by her side and said:
"Send Huang Menlang to see if Prime Minister Cao is on duty, if he is there, call him..."

After all, it has already entered the dog days at this time, and the people who have no conditions to go out to escape the summer stay at home, kill and raise them for a year, just to count the black dogs that eat on this day, beat their teeth, and then buy two lychees to meet the occasion...

But most of the rich and powerful families have summer resorts in various places in Guanzhong.

Cao Shen is no exception.

Every year, he and his family will go to Yunyang County to escape the summer heat, and the daily chores will be handed over to the Zuo Erguan to take care of them. As for the important affairs of the country, he will be sent to Linguang Palace in Yunyang County by flying horse...

But this year is special, Liu Ying delayed her trip to the mountains to escape the summer heat, Liu Ying is really not sure whether Cao Shen will leave as scheduled.

After a while, Bank of China said that he was rushing from the gate of the hall, and whispered, "Your Majesty, Xiangguo is here..."

Liu Ying raised her eyes slightly: "And then?"

Bank of China said hesitantly: "The Emperor Taishang also came... When Huang Menlang went, the Emperor Taishang was drinking with Xiangguo and You Cheng in the guard room..."

The old man secretly drank again, let's see how I sue... Liu Ying showed a cheerful smile on his face, a bit of revenge.

After all, the old man deprived him of the fun of naming his son. The most important thing is that he said it well at the beginning. This time it is his turn, and the old man next time!

There is a price to be paid for cheating... Liu Ying nodded: "Please come in, Prime Minister Cao."

Although Cao Shen is no better than Xiao He, most of the time in front of Liu Ying, he is obedient and obedient, but after all, Cao Shen is the prime minister, the head of hundreds of officials, and assisting the government. Liu Ying just saying "please" is far from enough , according to the tradition from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, this is already an insult to Cao Shen!

In that year, the monarch had something to discuss with Xiangguo, and he wanted to go to Xiangguo's mansion in a carriage to meet Xiangguo, instead of asking Xiangguo to come to meet the monarch!

But the big man is not the Spring and Autumn and Warring States after all, and the authority of the emperor of the empire is not comparable to those small feudal princes, but what is more important is the division of people. If Liu Ying came to Cao Shenfu in person, I am afraid that the old man will have nightmares for several nights... …

The so-called flattered, nothing more.

If Liu Ying is like this, the Bank of China said that it is natural to rely on the power of others. He stood under Majesty Dan and shouted loudly:
"Xuan, Prime Minister Cao Shen has an audience..."

Therefore, the small yellow gate and the visitors standing in the hall shouted in succession, and the voice of Chuan spread from the Xuanshi hall to the outside of the hall.

"Xuan, Prime Minister Cao Can see you!"

"Xuan, Prime Minister Cao Can see you!"

……

"What are you yelling for?" Liu Bangji walked in with a pair of cloth shoes.

Behind him, Cao Shen hurriedly took off his shoes, untied his sword, rushed to the hall, bowed his hands and bowed: "The old minister pays homage to Your Majesty..."

Liu Ying nodded in return: "Come on, give me a seat!"

After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Liu Bang, who was slightly drunk on his cheeks: "Father, sit here with me, cool off..."

Liu Bang shook his head: "Nai Gong can't get used to your rotten thing, blowing it until my waist is stiff... I'd better sit on the floor, it's not hot either!"

Junk stuff?Do you know how much this electric fan sells for... Liu Ying rolled her eyes invisibly, and immediately asked Bank of China to move his rattan chair down, and sit with Liu Bang and Cao Shen, and at the same time, he did not forget to ask someone to take it from the ice mirror. Some melons and fruits come out.

"I don't know why Your Majesty summoned the veteran?" Cao Shen asked with a slight bow.

"It's nothing, just to bribe you..." Liu Ying pointed to the iced watermelon on the table, and said with a smile: "My Xiangguo, you are too stingy, and you only dispatched three thousand Jiaqi to put down the Qiang rebellion." , such a small force, what is enough for..."

Cao Shen frowned: "A mere Qiang, isn't three thousand cavalry not enough? The old minister dispatched the elite of Shangjun, not only proficient in cavalry warfare, but also good at using firearms..."

Liu Ying smiled and shook her head: "Not enough, it must be [-] cavalry!"

Although Liu Bang's eyes were a little drunk, but his mind was still clear, he also frowned and said, "Ten thousand riders? How much does it cost for people to eat and chew horses? How much fanfare does it take to wipe out a few Qiang tribes?"

After all, these 1 people are not only cavalry, but also heavy armored cavalry equipped with muskets. They are good at cavalry combat, but they are especially proficient in infantry combat!
It is no exaggeration to say that sending these 1 people to any feudal dynasty is a force that can control the world!

As for the Qiang people, they live next to the rapidly developing Han country, so there is almost no shortage of food and medicines, but even so, even if the entire Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, including the Ruoqiang tribe further west, is counted, the total population is only sixty-six. 70!
Ten thousand heavy armored cavalry with firearms went to fight them, it is true that anti-aircraft guns hit mosquitoes...

Liu Ying shook her head and said:
"Conquering the world is different from defending the world."

"If it's just to punish the Qiang tribe who violated our borders, it would be enough to rely on the soldiers of Xihai County, and it would not be so grandiose at all."

"What I'm looking for is the resources that the Qiang people occupy but they don't know how to use!"

Cao Shen was stunned, and Liu Bang was stunned for a moment and asked, "Resources? What resources?"

Liu Ying replied:

"Potash fertilizer."

"Well, to put it simply, it is a fertilizer that is the same as the stinky nitrogen fertilizer I made before. It is very beneficial for growing cotton, sugarcane, rapeseed and other cash crops, as well as fruit trees... ..."

"If the allocation is reasonable, Baoding will increase production by more than [-]%!"

He said while nodding seriously, to show that he wasn't exaggerating at all.

After all, there were experiments in the 90s of later generations. Under the reasonable application of potassium fertilizer, both corn and soybeans increased by about 15.00%, especially corn, with a maximum increase of nearly [-]%!
You know, that's 15.00% of the yield of [-]-[-] kg per mu, and now the yield per mu in Han country is only about [-] kg at best, so an increase of [-]% is a relatively conservative figure.

Liu Bang frowned and asked:

"Since those fat ones are so good, why did you only join forces with the Qiang people when you led the Hexi war, and didn't take the place directly?"

"I remember you said that most Qiang people live by water and grass, and don't care much about a little land, so even if they spent a little money to buy it at that time, wouldn't it have already seen results?"

"Go now, the troublesome one will die!"

Does this old man understand what it means to climb a technology tree?You are not Qin Shihuang, Eureka has increased the progress of scientific research by 60.00%... Liu Ying wrinkled her nose, asked someone to bring the map, and at the same time stared at Liu Bang and said:

"Although potash fertilizer is good, it was not suitable for the Han Dynasty under the environment at that time."

Liu Bang crossed his arms, full of disdain, snorted coldly and said nothing.

Potassium fertilizer was not suitable for the Han Dynasty when he was the emperor, but now that this bastard is the emperor, is the potash fertilizer suitable for the Han Dynasty?
What an adaptive potash fertilizer!

It's boring to use this as an excuse if you don't have vision, you little bastard!

Liu Ying pouted:
"Mother said, huh, it's a pig... Daddy, if you beat me up today, let's see if I tell Mother that you're secretly drinking again, and it's over!"

Liu Bang looked at Cao Shen with some embarrassment: "Young couples always come to accompany... She doesn't let me drink for my own good, this is love, you don't understand, I won't explain..."

What Cao Shen could say, he just had an embarrassed smile on his face: "The Supreme Emperor and his wife are deeply affectionate, and they are the blessings of the world... Your Majesty's benevolence and filial piety are also the blessings of the world..."

I always feel that this guy is acting weird... Liu Ying squinted her eyes, kept everything in her heart, looked at Liu Bang and explained:
"What I said is not suitable for the Han Dynasty, because the land in Guanzhong, Guandong, Yan, Dai and other places has different degrees of salinization..."

"Well, the so-called salinization refers to the process in which the salt in the bottom soil or groundwater rises to the surface with capillary water, and after the water evaporates, the salt accumulates in the surface soil."

"A simple understanding is that the land has become salty...there is too much salt on the ground, and the crops will either decrease or fail..."

"And those natural potassium fertilizers are also a kind of salt. If they are used on saline-alkali land, although they will increase production, they will definitely aggravate the process of salinization, and eventually make the land barren!"

"That's why I promote alfalfa in many areas in the north."

"Well, it's mainly the new breed I made."

"Not only because the new variety of alfalfa has a high yield per mu, which can make the land fertile, but also can be eaten by humans, as well as livestock such as cattle, sheep, horses and pigs. More importantly, it is salt-tolerant and can grow in saline-alkali land at the same time. , It will also absorb the salt in the soil into its own body, thereby improving the salinization of the soil!"

Liu Bang nodded: "No wonder not only those Western Region BMWs like to eat alfalfa, but other animals also like to eat it. It turns out that there is salt in it..."

Liu Ying continued:

"So at that time, although I read from ancient books that that kind of potash fertilizer could increase production, but the disadvantages were too great, I simply put it aside for the time being. After all, the Qiang people belonged to the kind that guarded Baoshan but didn't know how to develop it. people……"

Cao Shen cupped his hands and cupped his fists: "Your Majesty has a far-sighted vision, and there are no plans to leave behind, and the blessing of the country is also..."

Flatterer... Liu Bang rolled his eyes, looked at Liu Ying and asked, "Which ancient book? Could it be another lost thing of the peasant family, the secret of the Mohist family?"

After all, he had heard a lot of so-called ancient books and old men with white beards over the years, and although he was no longer surprised by them, Cao Shen's continuous compliments made the old man feel a little bit uneasy!
Why did the courtiers look upright when he was the emperor?

From time to time, I still have to find fault with him, and find fault with him!
But when this bastard became the emperor, these bastards immediately changed their faces again, groveling, flattering, and submissive!
Where is your integrity?
Give Naigong back to the previous unruly look... Liu Bang is full of resentment.

Liu Ying was still immersed in Cao Shen's praise of her benevolent lord, but he knew very well that those who pick faults are not necessarily bad people, and those who praise are not necessarily good people, especially Cao Shen's vague yin and yang strangeness before, even more so. It was Liu Ying who, with her face full of benefits, made another note to Cao Can...

So he squinted at Cao Shen, then turned to Liu Bang:

"It's not a peasant family, nor a Mohist school, but a Taoist school...to be precise, an alchemist!"

"After the father killed the Tyrant Qin, he was addicted to the prosperity of Xianyang Palace and couldn't extricate himself, so he let his son enter the palace to persuade his father..."

"At that time, I was wandering in Xianyang Palace, and I accidentally found an alchemy room, and found this half of a scroll from the futon, which recorded many methods of chemical fertilizers, and many other secret techniques ..."

"Well, the method of making tofu is also included!"

"I thought about it later, maybe it was some alchemist who was burned by Qin Shihuang to confuse scholars. Before he died, he didn't want to let his unique knowledge be lost, so he quietly hid it in the futon, and wanted his students to secretly steal it away..."

"After all, futons are everywhere, and no one cares if there is one more or one less..."

"But it may be God's will. His student didn't take it away, but I accidentally picked it up..."

After Liu Ying finished speaking, she picked up the herbal tea and drank it without blushing.

Opposite him, Liu Bang was speechless, but Cao Shen clasped his fists again and praised him generously.

"Your Majesty bears the destiny of the heavens and is favored by the heavens and the earth. It is a great fortune for Jiangshan!"
