The Three Kingdoms of Farming and War began with the incorporation of the Baiyue

Wancheng, Jingzhou.

It was an autumn harvest afternoon.

The eldest prince Jin Lin felt very satisfied when he saw the happiness on the people's faces.

"This is the beauty that Father has always pursued, right?"

Jin Lin said to Nanyang King Liu Xie beside him: "It's a pity that I only realized this truth when I was thirty years old."

Liu Xie smiled slightly, looking far into the golden and busy fields, and said, "Your Highness can understand the importance of people's livelihood at this time, which is a blessing for the country. There may have been some delays in the past, but there is still room for improvement in the future. Your Highness should know that the true way to govern a country does not lie in the power struggles in the court, but in the peace and prosperity in the hearts of the people in the fields."

"Uncle Wang is right." Jin Lin nodded sincerely. "I used to be obsessed with martial arts and military tactics, thinking that was the ambition that an emperor should have. Now it seems that I was too narrow-minded. This world, after all, belongs to the people. Only when they live and work in peace and contentment can the country be truly strong."

Liu Xie patted Jin Lin's shoulder gently, with a hint of praise in his eyes: "Your Highness can have this awareness, which is a blessing for our Dajing. The next step is how to transform this understanding into practical policies and actions, so that this beauty will not only stay in this autumn harvest afternoon, but become the norm in Jingzhou and even the whole Dajing."

"That's right, Uncle Wang." Jin Lin's eyes were firm. "I plan to start by reducing taxes and encouraging farming, and then gradually improve water conservancy to ensure that we can have such a bumper harvest every year. At the same time, we will strengthen education so that the people can be well-educated and know how to improve themselves and protect themselves, and jointly build a more harmonious and prosperous society."

"With such ambition, there is no need to worry about not achieving great things." Liu Xie smiled with satisfaction, "Although I am old, if I can personally witness Your Highness turning this blueprint into reality, I will die without regrets."

The two smiled at each other, their vision and determination for the future seemed particularly warm and firm under the warm autumn sun. The land of Wancheng, Jingzhou, seemed to have become more vibrant and full of infinite hope because of their vision.

Then, Liu Xie turned and looked at the vast fields in the distance, his eyes gleaming with wisdom. "Your Highness, to realize this grand plan, we need to recruit talents. Whether it is farming technology, water conservancy construction, or cultural education, it is inseparable from the support of talents. Although I am not talented, I still have some connections in the court. I am willing to help Your Highness to make connections and work together for the great cause."

"Sir, what you said is exactly what I want to say." His Highness bowed, his sincerity overflowing from his words, "Talent is the foundation of governing a country. With your help, we will be even more powerful. I intend to set up a 'talent recruitment hall', regardless of background, and only talent will be selected, so that all talents in the world will have the opportunity to be employed by me, and together we can paint a picture of this prosperous and flourishing era."

Liu Xie nodded in approval, secretly admiring that His Highness not only had foresight, but also had a broad mind to accommodate the world. "Your Highness's move will surely attract heroes from all directions, and the land of Jingzhou will surely become the focus of world attention. However, we must also pay attention to balancing the forces of all parties to avoid chaos."

"Sir, your concern is correct." His Highness pondered for a moment and continued, "I will set up the 'Imperial Censorate' to supervise all officials and ensure that government orders are carried out smoothly. At the same time, I will set up the 'Council of Remonstrance' to open up channels for people to express their opinions and encourage them to write letters to express their opinions. Whether it is praise or criticism, I will accept it with an open mind, so as to maintain a clean government and a prosperous country."

The more they talked, the more they got interested. It seemed as if they had seen the prosperous Jingzhou in the future where the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. The autumn breeze blew away the remaining heat of the summer and brought with it the breath of change. Jingzhou Wancheng was pregnant with an unprecedented change, and all of this would become a reality step by step with their joint efforts.

His Highness' eyes flashed with determination as he continued to plan his blueprint: "In addition, I also plan to implement the 'equal field system' so that people with no or little land can get land and cultivate it themselves, reduce taxes, and encourage them to work hard to get rich, thus fundamentally solving the people's livelihood problems. At the same time, we will strengthen water conservancy construction and build irrigation systems to ensure that farmland can be effectively irrigated and increase grain production to prepare for emergencies."

"Furthermore, education is a national priority. I plan to set up 'schools' in all counties and hire famous scholars to give lectures. They will not only teach Confucian classics, but also offer practical subjects such as arithmetic, medicine, and engineering to cultivate well-rounded talents, inject fresh blood into the country, and promote the dual progress of science and technology and culture."

At this point, His Highness could not help but stand up and look into the distance, as if he had already seen the diligent and knowledge-seeking young talents in those institutions, as well as the land of Jingzhou that was rejuvenated by the popularization of knowledge.

"Of course, all these changes must be based on laws. I will order people to compile the Jingzhou Law, clarify the laws, enforce them impartially, ensure that the rights and obligations of every citizen are protected, and make the law a solid foundation for maintaining social justice and harmony."

As His Highness finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room became more and more heated, and both of them were filled with infinite longing for the future. They knew that the road ahead might be full of thorns, but as long as they had faith and persevered, Jingzhou would usher in an unprecedented golden age and become a paradise that people all over the world yearned for.

"Not only that, we must also vigorously develop education, set up many schools, let the light of knowledge illuminate every corner, and no aspiring young people will lose the opportunity to study due to poverty." His Highness continued with a sharp gaze, "We must cultivate more talents with both moral integrity and ability. They will be the pillars of Jingzhou's future and lead us to a more glorious tomorrow." The counselor on the side nodded in agreement and added, "Indeed, education is the foundation. Only when the people generally improve their cultural literacy can they better understand policies, support reforms, and jointly promote the development of Jingzhou. At the same time, we should also encourage scientific and technological innovation, attract skilled craftsmen, develop handicrafts and agricultural technologies, and simultaneously enhance the economic strength of Jingzhou."

Upon hearing this, His Highness smiled approvingly: "Very good, your idea coincides with mine. We must also strengthen exchanges with other regions, introduce advanced technologies, and export our excellent culture and products, so that the name of Jingzhou will resound throughout the world. In this way, we can not only enhance our own strength, but also promote the common prosperity of all regions."

The more they talked, the more they got excited. It seemed as if they had seen Jingzhou becoming a vibrant, harmonious and prosperous paradise in the near future. They knew that this would require the joint efforts of countless people, but as long as the direction was correct and the steps were firm, Jingzhou's tomorrow would definitely be better.

In order to further promote the realization of this vision, His Highness proposed to set up a special fund to support scientific and technological innovation and cultural exchange projects. This will not only attract more talents and resources to Jingzhou, but also provide local youth with opportunities to learn and grow, and cultivate a new generation of leaders with an international perspective. At the same time, strengthening infrastructure construction and improving transportation convenience will make Jingzhou a bridge connecting various places and promote trade and cultural integration.

In addition, His Highness also emphasized the importance of education and talent cultivation, and planned to expand investment in education, especially to increase support for science, technology and art, and strive to achieve domestic and even international leading levels in education quality. He believed that only with a high-quality talent team could Jingzhou be invincible in future competition.

In terms of environmental protection, they also reached a consensus and decided to implement a green development strategy to protect the green mountains and rivers of Jingzhou, making the good ecological environment a bright business card to attract foreign investment and tourism. By developing ecological agriculture, clean energy and other projects, a win-win situation of economic development and environmental protection can be achieved.

As the discussion deepened, a series of grand blueprints for the future development of Jingzhou gradually became clear in their minds. They knew that this was a protracted battle that required patience and wisdom, but it was this infinite vision of the future that inspired them to keep moving forward and vowed to build Jingzhou into an ideal home that is both strong and warm, prosperous and livable.

In order to turn this vision into reality, they set out to plan a series of specific measures. In terms of ecological agriculture, they encouraged farmers to adopt organic farming, reduce the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and promote smart irrigation systems, which not only increased crop yields but also protected soil and water resources. At the same time, they established agricultural product brands and sold green and healthy food nationwide and even globally through e-commerce platforms, increasing farmers' income and promoting the diversified development of the rural economy.

In the field of clean energy, they actively promote the implementation of renewable energy projects such as wind and solar energy to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. They invest in the construction of smart grids to ensure the effective use and distribution of clean energy, and provide a stable and clean energy supply for industrial production and residents' lives in Jingzhou and even the surrounding areas. In addition, they also plan to incorporate green building concepts into urban planning, promote energy-saving materials and designs, reduce building energy consumption, and improve the overall environmental protection level of the city.

In terms of cultural tourism, they focus on exploring the profound historical and cultural heritage of Jingzhou, restoring ancient monuments, protecting intangible cultural heritage, and creating cultural tourism routes with local characteristics. By holding cultural festivals, art exhibitions and other activities, they attract domestic and foreign tourists, drive the development of the service industry, and enhance people's cultural confidence and sense of belonging.

Education and talent cultivation are also important aspects that cannot be ignored. They proposed to strengthen cooperation with domestic and foreign universities and research institutions, establish a green technology research and development center, and cultivate a group of professionals who are both technically proficient and environmentally conscious, so as to contribute to the green development of Jingzhou and even the whole country. At the same time, popularize environmental education, cultivate children's ecological awareness from an early age, and lay a solid foundation for sustainable development.

Through the implementation of these comprehensive measures, they believe that Jingzhou will not only achieve leapfrog development in the economy, but also take the lead in ecological and environmental protection, becoming a model of green development in the country and even the world, and truly realizing the beautiful vision of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.

In addition, they also plan to introduce advanced green technologies and management models, encourage enterprises to carry out environmental protection technology innovation and industrial upgrading, reduce resource consumption and environmental pollution in the production process, and enhance the green competitiveness of the entire industrial chain. The government will introduce a series of incentive policies, such as tax incentives and financial support, to attract more enterprises and capital to invest in green industries and form a virtuous cycle of green development.

In the agricultural sector, we promote ecological agriculture and organic farming, reduce the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, protect soil and water sources, improve the quality and safety of agricultural products, increase farmers' income, and achieve a win-win situation for the rural economy and the environment. In urban construction, we focus on the development of green buildings and low-carbon transportation, promote the use of new energy, reduce carbon emissions, and create green ecological cities that are suitable for living and working.

They also advocated the establishment of a public participation mechanism, encouraging citizens to participate in environmental protection through volunteer services, green travel, garbage sorting, etc., to create a good atmosphere for the whole society to participate in green development. Through the media and social platforms, they widely disseminated green development concepts and successful cases, enhanced the public's environmental awareness and participation, and gathered strong social forces for Jingzhou's green development.

In short, through these all-round and multi-level efforts, Jingzhou is steadily moving towards the goal of building an ecological civilization and achieving high-quality development, leaving a beautiful home with blue skies, green land and clear water for future generations.

In this process, Jingzhou also pays attention to the deep integration of smart city construction and green ecology, using modern information technologies such as big data and cloud computing to optimize resource allocation, improve urban management efficiency, and reduce energy consumption and environmental pollution. The smart energy management system can monitor and adjust energy use in real time to promote energy conservation and emission reduction; the intelligent transportation system effectively alleviates traffic congestion, encourages the use of public transportation and non-motor vehicles, and reduces carbon emissions. At the same time, Jingzhou vigorously develops green buildings, promotes the use of renewable energy and energy-saving materials, improves building energy efficiency, and provides residents with a healthier and more comfortable living environment.

In addition, Jingzhou is also committed to building a green industrial chain, encouraging and supporting green technology innovation and achievement transformation, attracting environmental protection industries and clean energy companies to settle down, and forming a growth point for the green economy. By holding green industry expositions, international environmental protection cooperation forums and other activities, we will strengthen exchanges and cooperation with international and domestic green fields, introduce advanced technologies and experiences, and continuously enhance the competitiveness and influence of Jingzhou's green development.

This series of measures not only promoted the optimization and upgrading of Jingzhou's economic structure, but also provided more employment opportunities and entrepreneurial space for residents, achieving a win-win situation in economic and ecological benefits. Jingzhou is gradually becoming a green ecological model city that is both livable and business-friendly, and full of vitality and vigor, providing valuable experience and inspiration for green development in China and even the world.

On this basis, the Jingzhou Municipal Government has also increased its investment in green infrastructure, such as building a green transportation system, promoting electric vehicle charging stations and bicycle lanes, reducing carbon emissions, and improving the environmental friendliness and convenience of urban transportation. At the same time, Jingzhou has also launched large-scale urban greening projects, including park construction, riverbank restoration and rooftop greening, which not only beautifies the urban environment, but also effectively improves air quality and enhances the city's ecological resilience.
