My Backyard is the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 84: Planting plan for winter wheat

The three of them led the way, and Li Min thought it was time to get some winter wheat seeds. During the Tang Dynasty, chestnuts and wheat were mainly planted in the north, and the plantings were all spring wheat. The planting of winter wheat was not popularized at that time. Because of the convenience of irrigation, Sichuan, or the land of Shu, is mainly planted with rice, and there is no such thing as winter wheat.

Li Yin asked Jin Daqian to purchase the cultivated land for the purpose of planting winter wheat, and then popularized the planting of winter wheat. However, the emergence of new things requires a process of acceptance. The people in the Shu area will definitely not agree with the planting of winter wheat at the beginning, because they have never seen it before. Kind of thing, how can you believe it? And once wheat is harvested on Li Yin's land, the common people will naturally follow his pace when they see that it is profitable.

In the East Palace, Li Chengqian stared obsessively at Ashinalan who was not far away with a bow and arrow. Whenever this time, he would feel that life was so bright and simple, as if all the hustle and bustle of the world were far away from him, and he just watched She hopes that this moment will become eternity.

"His Royal Highness!" Du He walked in front of Li Chengqian and looked at the woman who claimed to be Alan in the distance. He knew that Li Chengqian didn't like people disturbing him at this time, but the emperor was preparing to compile "Kuo Dizhi" recently. For the chance to win the emperor's favor, the East Palace must fight for it.

  Li Chengqian was displeased, turned his head, saw it was Du He, and said, "What's the matter?"

"Your Highness, the emperor will discuss the compilation of "Kuo Di Zhi" in the court hall tomorrow morning. Both King Wei and King Wu are contacting their own people to take this matter over. Our East Palace can't lag behind. Last time Li Yin The Emperor has already complained about His Highness, this is the time to win the Emperor's favor!"

   "What is there to fight for about a broken book that records geography? Let the two of them fight for it!" Li Chengqian looked at Ashinalan again.

"But your majesty attaches great importance to "Kuo Di Zhi". Wouldn't it be a pity for King Wei and King Wu to **** such an opportunity?" Du He persuaded again. Thinking of Li Chengqian, who was hardworking, courteous and courteous in the past, compared with the rebellious and unruly Li Chengqian now, Du He sighed slightly in his heart.

  Ashi Nalan has been paying attention to Li Chengqian. After learning of Li Chengqian's identity, she gave up her plan to escape. This is a chance to break into Datang's heart, and Li Chengqian's obsession with her is her best weapon.

At this time, in the former homeland of Japan, a cavalry cavalry stretching for tens of miles was heading westward. The leader was Jie Li, and walking with him was a young man with a body like a giant tower and thick eyebrows. He was Jie Li. Li's son Ashina Guduo, who led the remaining Turkic army, hid in the grassland for three years.

   "The Tang people are really treacherous. Now all the tribes in the grassland think that the father Khan has died of illness, and few tribes come to join him. How can we gather an army in a short time!" Ashina Guduo discouraged.

Jieli looked at the vast grassland, "This is the reason why we lost to Li Shimin. I have lived in Chang'an for three years, and I think about the reasons for our failure every day. Later, I finally understood that what we lack is wisdom, and we are just blindly using it." Brute force!"

   "That's why Father Khan let the Chang family and Luo Xiaoyi go back to Datang to recruit scholars for us in the name of doing business? It's just that the people of Datang hate Turks so much, so why would they work for us?" Ashina Guduo said.

Jie Li laughed and said, "That's right, Father Khan understands that in the Tang Dynasty, the famous family controlled the government, but the humble scholars had no way out. As for whether they can serve us, hmph, isn't the Chang family working for us? Don't forget By the way, there are quite a few people in the Tang Dynasty who hate Li Shimin, and these poor scholars have always complained about the imperial examination, and they can be used by me, not all literati are so high-spirited!"

"Hahaha, what Father Khan said is that this time we went west to fight the Western Turks, we also learned from the Tang Dynasty to recuperate for several years, and then secretly cleaned up Xue Yantuo, Tiele and other tribes one by one, unified the entire grassland, and finally came back to deal with them Datang, will our millions of lions still be unable to deal with a single Li Shimin?" With a big laugh, Ashina Guduo thought of something: "But what about my sister?"

   "Alan has been clever and resourceful since she was a child. With her intelligence, I believe she will be safe and well!" Xie Li comforted herself like this, but she was worried...

Jin Daqian's purchase of fertile land went smoothly. The land of Shu is originally a plain area with fertile land and many fertile fields. Some prominent families in some places deliberately curry favor with Li Yin. In a few days, 10,000 mu of fertile land became Li Yin's private land. On the other hand, Jin Daqian bought a large piece of land in the upper reaches of the Nanhe River outside Yizhou City. This will be a new industrial base. Various workshops and docks will be built at the same time, integrating production and transportation, because from the Nanhe River. Arrive at the Minjiang River, then go east from the Minjiang River to the Yangtze River, and transport it along the inland river to all parts of the Tang Dynasty.

The transfer of military power in Zhechong Mansion was also very smooth. Li Min appointed Qin Huaiyu as the new captain of Zhechong Mansion, who was in charge of 1,200 soldiers in Zhechong Mansion. Zhechong Mansion, some lower-level Zhechong Mansions, even have only 800 people.

With the land, Li Yin thought about planting winter wheat on these lands, but this kind of winter wheat, the seeds are one thing, and the tools are another matter. Such a huge land only depends on animals like buffaloes. Only then can he finish farming, and his slaves are only more than a thousand now. Although the next batch of slaves will arrive one after another, on average, each person has to be divided into five or six acres, and these slaves can't just be used for farming.

"Should we get some hand-held diesel engines?" Li Yin thought, this kind of machine is easy to operate, easy to get started, and has multiple functions. It is a farming artifact.

  Thinking about it like this, Li Yin went out. Let’s not talk about it, he hasn’t seen what the cultivated land he bought looks like yet? Jin Daqian led the way, and Li Min left Yizhou City with him. According to Jin Daqian, he bought land in the same area specially.

  Twenty miles away from Yizhou City, Jin Daqian pointed to a large field that had just harvested rice, and said, "Your Highness, this is our land!"

Li Min looked around and found that there are water canals near these fertile fields, and irrigation is not a problem. Relatively speaking, the irrigated fields in this Shu land are the most in the Tang Dynasty. This is all due to the dense river network in Shu land and the famous Dujiangyan of the world.

  These lands looked like fertile fields. Li Yin praised Jin Daqian a few words, and went to Nanhe with him, where the current slaves have been arranged to start building houses.
