Chapter 339 Qingzhu

"Tell me, when did it start!"

In the hut, Liu Yizhen questioned Tao Yuanming like he interrogated prisoners.

This aggressive posture reminded Tao Yuanming of the first time he met Liu Yizhen in Jiangzhou, and he knew that Liu Yizhen was really angry.

"In the time of Jiankang. At that time, the common people were summoned by the eldest princess, and the common people went to Jiankang Palace to discuss poetry with the eldest princess."

Liu Xingdi and Tao Yuanming were both great talents who could go down in history with their articles. Unlike literary copycats like Liu Yizhen, they had real talents and practical knowledge.

Birds of a feather flock together and people flock together.

There seems to be nothing wrong with two of the top contemporary writers discussing poetry together?

"Then you deceived the eldest princess?"

When a scholar opens his mouth, beauties shake their legs.

Liu Yizhen very much doubted whether Tao Yuanming had used words to seduce his eldest sister...

"No!"

Tao Yuanming suddenly became excited.

"Your Majesty! The eldest princess is not that kind of person!"

At this moment, Tao Yuanming actually came to defend Brother Liu Xing against the enemy.

"To be honest, the eldest princess summoned me to the palace that day to inquire about poems."

"It's just that the ordinary people had repented at that time, yearned for the great road, and no longer studied literature."

"The eldest princess was surprised at the reason, and the grass-roots people relayed to the eldest princess what His Majesty said back then. The eldest princess heard this and was so impressed that she asked the grass-roots people to take her to the fields to see the yin-yang avenue of vegetation..."

"As time went by, the grassroots and the eldest princess became..."

Liu Yizhen: "..."

Good guy!

Do you think it’s my fault that you’re going around in circles?

Looking at Tao Yuanming, I also thought about Liu Xingdi.

Liu Yizhen's initial anger turned into a sigh.

His sister's life was really miserable.

Liu Yizhen was so miserable that he didn't know how to compensate his eldest daughter now that he was the emperor.

Now, in her gloomy life, there was a rare glimmer of light. How could Liu Yizhen be willing to wipe away this light for her.

even if……

This light is a bit old.

Liu Yizhen had no choice but to constantly hypnotize himself in his mind——

"It doesn't matter if a man is old or ugly, what matters is that he is talented!"

"And Tao Yuanming... is so talented!"

Tao Yuanming also said responsibly: "Your Majesty does not have to worry about the eldest princess's children. The common people will definitely treat them as their own children!"

"Get out!"

Liu Yizhen was off guard by these words.

Different from Liu Xingdi's tragic fate since childhood, Liu Xingdi's child Xu Zhanzhi was favored and favored. When Liu Yugang founded the country, he was canonized as Marquis of Zhijiang County and granted a settlement of 500 households.

After Liu Yizhen ascended the throne, he was granted the title of Qianhu, making him a veritable super second generation. In the entire Liu Song Kingdom, except for the princes and kings of the Liu family, he lived the most prosperous life.

Can such a young man be called Tao Yuanming’s father?

over thinking!

"Don't worry, I will arrange for those children to study in the Imperial College. When they grow up, I will send them out to study for a few years. You don't want to cause trouble."

Liu Yizhen kept pressing his temples. This behavior basically never happened after Liu Yizhen moved the capital, but it actually happened again today when he faced this kind of thing.

"What am I going to say..."

After sorting out his thoughts, Liu Yizhen remembered what he was going to do.

"I will find a suitable time to arrange this marriage as soon as possible."

"But before that, you must do something for me first!"

Tao Yuanming's dull eyes rarely burst out with a few gleams of light: "I will do anything for the eldest princess!"

"..."

"Not for the eldest princess!"

After roaring, Liu Yizhen straightened up his appearance before talking about business with Tao Yuanming.

"I was also inspired by a student of the Imperial Academy and came up with a strategy that will be the basis for controlling Hu in the future."

Upon hearing that it was about curing barbarians, Tao Yuanming also became serious.

"This Imperial College student proposed that if we could build a city outside the Great Wall, we would be able to eradicate the evil from the source."

Seeing that Tao Yuanming was about to defend himself, Liu Yizhen comforted him.

"I know that building a city outside the Great Wall is unrealistic."

"He is a barbarian and has been to Pingcheng. That's why he proposed such a strategy."

"It's just that we can change our thinking..."

Liu Yizhen pointed to the land at his feet: "It is impossible to build a city extensively outside the Great Wall, but it is not difficult to build a city near the Hetao Plain."

"The land in the Hetao Plain is fertile, and the food grown can easily feed hundreds of thousands more people. And the hundreds of thousands of Hu people are basically the majority of the Hu people outside the Great Wall."

"It is easy to provide food for humans, but it is not easy to provide food for livestock."

"If there are hundreds of thousands of livestock out there, raising them would be much more difficult than raising people."

Tao Yuanming had already vaguely guessed what Liu Yi really meant.

"Your Majesty wants the grassroots to find food suitable for livestock?"

"Yes and no."

Liu Yizhen did not sell out and explained to Tao Yuanming a technology that had not yet been introduced to China——

Qingzhu.

That is, the feed made from green crops through controlled fermentation is the best choice for feeding livestock such as cattle and sheep!

This technology first originated from the ancient Egyptian civilization. It was later introduced to Europe and flourished in the hands of the Roman Empire.

Although China also has reserves of green storage technology, such as using alfalfa and purslane to ferment and preserve green storage, this crop-related technology has not been developed due to various reasons.

Tao Yuanming was also very curious after hearing this.

Now, there are actually methods for preparing and storing hay, but this is obviously not the same thing as the "green reserve" mentioned by Liu Yizhen.

"Your Majesty, may I ask what crops can be used to make green storage?"

Of course it’s corn stalks!

The problem is that corn is in America!

If nothing else, Liu Yizhen will never see a big yellow and thick corn cob in his life.

Besides...

If there were corn and sweet potatoes, which are incredible tools of farming civilization, would Liu Yizhen still have to go through all the trouble of raising green reserves?

After raising it for twenty years, Liu Yi can really fill up the Asian monster room with 40 million Chinese sons and daughters!

"You can try using wheatgrass, brome, duckweed, etc."

The most important thing about green storage is to preserve sugar and nutrients.

Although the pastures Liu Yizhen mentioned are not as good as corn stalks, they still contain some sugar.

"In addition, there are alfalfa, sweet-scented osmanthus, sativa, and clover."

These crops are completely different from the previous grasses. They don’t contain much sugar, but a lot of nutrients.

The two types of green storage can completely complement each other and solve the problem of livestock rations.

Throwing a Jinyiwei waist badge to Tao Yuanming: "I will leave some manpower for you to deploy, and make this young man as soon as possible."

"besides……"

Liu Yizhen looked at the surrounding environment: "You can teach a few students, don't always do it yourself."

Tao Yuanming shook his head: "No, the common people are afraid..."

"Cut the nonsense!"

Liu Yizhen glared at Tao Yuanming: "Don't you know how old you are?"

"If you dare to walk in front of my sister, I will definitely dig up your ancestral graves! So you leave it up to me!"
