Chapter 299 Breaking into the boudoir by mistake? (2)
Jingyi didn't notice any awkwardness between the two men, and asked, "Brother Qingtian, I just heard from Si Qin that Ah Bu was injured, how could he be hurt?"

Qingtian coughed lightly and said, "It's okay! When we were climbing the mountain, he was accidentally caught by a tree branch, a small injury! I've already bandaged him. In two days, he will be fine."

Jingyi nodded, "How about going out this time? Is everything going well?"

Sunny took a look at Yuanxi, then opened a bulging bag on the table, and said, "Take a look at this. This is called 'Golden Pheasant' by the local people, do you know this thing?"

Jingyi took a closer look, surprised and delighted, "Oh my God! It's a lemongrass! How could you be so lucky? Where did you find this?"

Both Yuan Xi and Qing Tian were shocked, "You know this?"

Jingyi nodded, "This is called caragana, and it is also called Caragana in some places. It is one of the important tree species for soil and water conservation and sand-fixing afforestation! This plant is resistant to drought, cold, and high temperature. Xerophytic shrub. It can also grow in mobile sandy land and fixed and semi-fixed sandy land. This plant is a kind of deep-rooted tree species. Its lateral root system extends horizontally to the surroundings, criss-crossing, and has strong sand-fixing ability. Planted in Pingqiu County is perfect!"

Yuan Xi seemed to understand, "Moving sand? Fixed sand?"

Jingyi was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered that she said some modern professional terms, how could they, the ancients, understand them! "Don't talk about that. This kind of caragana is not afraid of sand burial. The more sand is buried, the more branches, the more vigorous the growth, the stronger the sand-fixing ability! Moreover, it has a long life span, generally can grow for decades, and some can grow It’s been more than a hundred years. Brother Qingtian, you’ve done a great job in controlling the sand this time!”

When I found this plant on a sunny day, I also heard from the local people that this kind of thing is very easy to survive, and most of it grows in sandy land or wasteland.But he didn't expect that Jing Yi, who rarely went out, would know such things so well!I have to say, this Jingyi is really knowledgeable!

When Jingyi saw that Sunny Tian found this kind of caragana, she was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered: "Haitang, go and prepare pens, ink, paper and inkstones!" After finishing speaking, she turned to look at Qingtian, "Have you seen other plants before? "

Qing Tian nodded, "I see. Some of them grew on the sand, but there were not many of them."

"I'm not afraid. As long as we have this kind of thing, we will always have a way to make it grow more and more! Yuanxi, now, it will be much easier for us to seal off the city."

Yuan Xi nodded and looked at the sunny sky, "Thank you for your hard work! The people who sealed the city on behalf of the king thank you very much." This time, Yuan Xi's attitude was sincere, without the arrogance of being a prince.In front of Jingyi, Qingtian just nodded.

"Princess, here's what you asked for." Haitang said, ordering someone to clean up the table and spread out the rice paper.

Jingyi came to the table, smiled and wrote and drew on the paper, and after a while, she drew a simple vegetation map.

"When the next spring begins, we will start to build shelter forests. Here, at the outermost periphery, we will plant a large number of caragana, euphratica, Nitraria or seabuckthorn. Here we can plant more densely, and it can also play a role in resisting wind and sand. "Jingyi pointed to the top place on the paper, and then moved down slightly: "This is the second line of defense. We will plant a large number of salix, tamarisk and Haloxylon here. The planting should not be too dense. It must be easy for someone to pass through. Because it is associated with tamarisk and Haloxylon, there is also a medicinal herb Cistanche, which we can never waste. In addition, the twigs of Haloxylon can also be properly collected, which is what camels depend on Good feed in winter and spring."

Speaking of this, the excitement in Jingyi's eyes became more and more intense. "Then comes the third layer of protection. This requires Yuanxi to use some of your power. We will divide this third layer of protection into three areas. Every ten acres is an area. Each area has A large number of trees are planted. The third layer does not have so many requirements for trees, the main thing is that they can resist drought.”

Yuan Xi looked at the excited Jingyi, and asked puzzledly: "Yiyi, why is this place divided into three areas?"

"Because we have to consider that the local people want to cut down trees! For example: chopping firewood, building houses, breaking furniture, etc. In this way, we let the local people change areas every five years, and so on. In this way, these The trees will not be cut down aimlessly. These three protections are indispensable, if some people only guard one place to cut down, and there is a loophole in this protection, then we will be working in vain."

"Yiyi, it's easy to say, but in practice, I'm afraid it's too difficult. First of all, the manpower needs a large number of migrant workers. Where can we find it? Next, even if the tree is planted, it won't be seen anymore. Surely you will live?"

Jingyi smiled lightly, looked at Yuanxi and said, "Yuanxi, I'm afraid you already have a bottom line on this manpower issue, right?"

Sunny was puzzled, and looked at Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi smiled lightly, her eyes were extremely clear, when she looked at Jing Yi, the look in her eyes was just like when she was married! "Yiyi is really smart, I'm afraid you have already thought of this level?" After finishing speaking, she turned to Qingtian and said, "You don't have to worry about manpower. Outside this closed city, there are no refugees at the foot of Huayang Mountain. Few, most of them are from Pingqiu County. When spring comes next year, we will send them back to their hometowns to work with the local government to plant shelterbelts. We only need to provide rice grains.”

Qing Tian was taken aback, "But this amount of rice is not a small amount! With so many people, it's not something that can be done in a day or two!"

Jingyi smiled and said: "Yuanxi, your beloved general Xia He hasn't come back yet? This time, you will have to rely heavily on him."

Yuan Xi nodded, "I understand. I should be back in about two days. Don't worry, we won't delay our big event!"

"Xiahe alone is not enough, we have to find a way to make these rich people in the closed city have to donate some rice."

"Yiyi, outside this city, there are several houses that have set up porridge sheds. If you ask them to donate food, I'm afraid they may not be willing!"

Jingyi blinked and said: "Yuanxi, you are the lord of this city, don't say you can't do anything!"

Yuan Xi smiled wryly, shook his head lightly and said, "Is there any way? It's not impossible. It's just that you, the princess, need to cooperate!"

"Tell me, what is the solution?"

Yuan Xi glanced at Qing Tian, ​​and said: "The rice grain we found from the Bai Mansion last time was not registered in the mansion register. Now it's just the twelfth lunar month, so I thought, in a few days, we will hold a Laba Banquet and arrive at Invite all the gentry from this city at this time. Just use it as an excuse to raise rations, and find a way to make them all bleed."
