"After all, this place is close to the northern Xinjiang pasture. As an important meat production area in the Central Plains, if we can't eat it in the nearby area, something will really happen." Chen Xi shook his head and said.
This is just like people who live near the sea cannot eat fish. If this kind of thing happens, then needless to say, let’s first see if there is any problem in society.
Think about the era of general political clarity in later generations. When there was a famine, the poor people in Shanghai had to live a miserable life eating hairy crabs.
After all, it has always been like this, relying on mountains to feed mountains and relying on water to feed water. Geographical advantages will be a very important economic component even in later generations.
Therefore, in Chen Xi's opinion, hanging a few pieces of bacon here is a very normal situation, just like hanging a few salted fish on the eastern coast is a very normal social reality. If even this situation cannot occur, then Chen Xi will
We really need to think about the bureaucracy.
"Big pasture." Han Xin smacked his lips twice. At that time, the north was still dominated by the Huns. Although the Yueshi had not left and Donghu still existed, the Huns were already under the leadership of Mao Dun.
rose rapidly.
With the strength of the Han Dynasty at that time, it was not impossible to win. In general, the Han Dynasty was still stronger than the Xiongnu. However, there were many issues to consider in taking the initiative. In addition, defeating the Hu people in the north would not obtain enough land for farming, so before taking the initiative,
Sex is a big problem.
"Yes, the big ranch will become more big in the future." Chen Xi nodded and said. Next, he has plans to expand the ranch, and Jia Xu is also doing it, but it is impossible to achieve results in a short time.
, this all takes time to accumulate.
"I really didn't consider using northern Xinjiang as a pasture before, so even if I win the battle in the north, I can't solve the problem of Waihu." Liu Bei sighed and said.
The enemies in the north have changed a lot. Since the Shang Dynasty, the Central Plains has won and lost, but generally speaking, the enemies in the north are changing. The problem that has always existed in the Central Plains is that they can defeat the opponent, but they cannot solve the soil that gave birth to the Hu people.
.
After all, places that cannot be cultivated and can only grow grass are only suitable for nomadic people. As long as they do not settle down, live in pursuit of water and grass for a long time, and their living habits do not change, then changing a group of people will not change anything.
If you can't survive, you will go south to plunder. If you die, you will be unlucky. If you rob something, you can continue to live, and the cycle starts again. This is also the problem that the Central Plains has been unable to solve in northern Xinjiang.
As for the so-called construction of a city deep into the grassland, if the grassland does not provide enough output for the city, then how much does it cost to rely entirely on transporting grain from the rear?
How much is the value of maintaining such a city? This is a question.
After considering these issues, for the Central Plains Dynasty, the Beijun grassland after passing a certain line completely lost its meaning. Land without output was meaningless to the Central Plains Dynasty. This is the reality.
The idea of large pastures existed in ancient times, but the carrying capacity of the grasslands was limited, and it was impossible to lock up the Hu people with pastures. A large part of the reason why Chen Xi was able to create it was that Chen Xi had destroyed the Hu people in northern Xinjiang who lived by water and grass.
Planting grass and engaging in animal husbandry. They would rather build water conservancy projects than run around and enclose land for pasture. They migrated north in the summer and moved back to the Great Wall to spend the winter. This forced the nomadic industry into animal husbandry, and the barbarian people in northern Xinjiang also
He was tied to death in the pasture.
Without their nomadic habits, these barbarians are no longer barbarians, and the problems left over from thousands of years of history are no longer a problem.
"So Han Mou is still very important. Some of the seeds he made can really solve big problems." Chen Xi said with a smile. All the seeds of forage were researched by cookies. There are many kinds, which made Chen Xi want to improve them directly.
Pasture.
In fact, when Cookie developed the first high-yielding forage, the Hu people in Northern Xinjiang were completely finished. After all, the existence of nomads is not active, but forced. Who can eat as long as they stay where they are?
Running around with nothing to do.
When the barbarians in northern Xinjiang discovered that planting grass meant they didn't have to run around, and the barbarians in northern Xinjiang began to take the initiative to plant grass, the soil on which the nomads lived had already been destroyed.
"Generally speaking, the former nomadic people are completely out of date. They are now more willing to plant grass and buy better grass seeds." Chen Xi thought for a while and said, "After all, planting grass is really better than running around, and
Han Mou’s grass seeds are really hard to describe.”
The research on grass seeds is much faster than the research on grains. Chen Xi is not sure why, but Cookie has indeed developed many kinds of high-yielding grass seeds.
Even some grass seeds were used by Chen Xi to improve the pastures in northern Xinjiang. They are cold and drought tolerant, have yields several times higher than wild grasses, are more suitable for herbivores to absorb, etc.
Although there is still a big gap in yield and nutrition between the forage that was actually used for animal husbandry in later generations, for the Hu people of this era, it was already astonishing, so the current Hu people in northern Xinjiang also
Build a temple for Cookie.
After all, human beings have a complex side and a simple side. Life was so difficult in the past, but now it is easier. It is not unacceptable to build a temple or something.
However, the difference between the cookies in these temples and real cookies is relatively large, and the painting style is also more unique. It may be influenced by Zoroastrianism in Central Asia. Of course, it may also be influenced by some nature worship in the Western Regions. In short, this song
There is always something about Qi’s statues that people don’t know how to evaluate, and Cookie has never made any comments about it.
After all, Cookie's fiancée died in the north in the early years. Cookie's sense of the northern barbarians was very poor. Now that he is married to Ji Xue, things are better, but not much better. At least Cookie really won't take the initiative.
Go help these people improve something.
The improvement of grass seeds was mainly due to Chen Xi's request, and then Cookie led people to start research, and then it was successful. The subjective initiative was very obvious in this aspect. Chen Xi would not say anything about this aspect. After all, back then
Things are still a knot, and it won't get over that easily.
"I think it's better not to discuss planting grass. The late emperor knows something and will probably come to you." Liu Bei waved his hand with a complicated expression and said.
Liu Bei has also seen many magical things about Chen Xi over the years, but there are some aspects that he really cannot accept, such as planting grass, which really makes Liu Bei feel complicated.
Even if you can create such a big industry by growing grass, the collapse of the Han Empire more than 20 years ago is really a bit of a joke. It was so tragic.
"As I said, this is actually a cognitive issue." Chen Xi said helplessly, "Many things are valuable, but how you express this value is the key to the problem.
Grass is just a form of expression, there is more behind it."
In fact, the core thing is that the Han Dynasty is particularly good at fighting. Regardless of other aspects, the fighting power of the Han Dynasty has always been very convincing. It is not a joke to say that the Han Dynasty will die by force. Although force cannot solve everything
problems, but with force as the final guarantee, many things will be much simpler to solve.
The reason why the Hu people can succumb to Chen Xi's large ranch system is largely because the Han Dynasty has a stick in one hand and a carrot in the other. If you don't obey, you will be killed. If you obey, you can be fed and clothed. If you choose one of the two, it's okay.
Do you need to choose?
Since ancient times, it is not uncommon for good governance to fail to be implemented, not because the system and planning are not good enough, but because something simpler is not strong enough.
"There are many things that just look at the results. This is what you taught me." Liu Bei said with a smile. Chen Xi was stunned for a moment, and then nodded. Indeed, there are some things that just look at the results.
"Shall we go to Beijiang Ranch then?" Jian Yong suddenly asked. According to the plan, we should go to Bingzhou Smelting Division first, and Beijiang Ranch is further north of Bingzhou Smelting Division, but keep going north along this road.
, you can reach the large northern ranch where Jiang Palace was originally located.
"Let's go and have a look too. To be honest, I haven't really seen it since I took care of it." Chen Xi thought for a while and said, although the Beijiang Ranch was also within Chen Xi's previous consideration, the decision of whether to go or not still remains.
It was a matter of time and again, but now that Jian Yong and the others were interested, they happened to go and have a look together.
"Then go there and I will understand the situation." Liu Bei thought for a while and said.
After all, Liu Bei has not been there for so many years, which is very embarrassing. There are quite a lot of relevant reports that need to be read every year. After all, this is one of the very few industries that is related to the meat-eating problem in the entire north. Every year, the mid-year report and
The year-end reports are very detailed.
"Your Highness seems to have been there." Chen Xi suddenly said. Liu Bei nodded after hearing this. This is very unscientific, but Liu Tong did go there, just secretly, and the management staff at the ranch did not know what happened.
The princess has been there before.
"If it's winter, we don't have to go so far." Chen Xi sighed and said. In winter, the ranch will move the cattle and horses back. In summer, we can't wait to go to Beihai to graze, because the Beihai side is very busy even in summer.
It's so cool, it's a great place to cool off.
This is why this place is already on the edge of Beidi County, and it takes a long time to go north to get to Beidi Ranch.
The largest prefecture and county on the Han Dynasty map seems to be Sichuan and Shu, but it is actually Bingzhou, because the edge of Bingzhou is drawn with feet. When the combat effectiveness is high, you can use the feet to draw to Beihai, but when the combat effectiveness is low, there is nothing you can do.
.
However, the fighting power of the Han Dynasty is generally very high, so the territory of Bingzhou is very confusing. As for now, Beidi County, as the important place of Bingzhou, still maintains the drawing model of the past, that is, the territory is drawn with feet - I heard that Beihai
The grass is growing well. If I take my hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep to eat a few meals, there should be no problem. After all, it is also Bingzhou.
