In late April of the Qin Dynasty, just five days after the cabinet issued the document to establish Hexi and Annan counties, the Ministry of Officials quickly issued an appointment for the governors and county captains of Hexi and Annan counties.
Zong Zhengfu gave Shi Zhong Ying a reputation, and promoted Shi Zhong Ying Zhiguan by two ranks and moved him to the governor of Hexi and Annan counties respectively. Meng Kuo was given the title of General Xiaoqi and was appointed the captain of Annan County; the deputy general Su Jiao of Jiuyuan was given the title of General Wuwei.
He was appointed as a lieutenant of Hexi County.
The administrative department, chief administrative department, inspection department, supervising department, magistrate and other officials under the governors of the two counties were all transferred from Neishi County, including Xianyang and Yongcheng. Of course, the chief officials of each department are still there today.
No.
Instead of selecting from the Royal Academy, experienced officials were dispatched from Neishi County to rush to the newly established two counties. Naturally, this was to establish the basic structure of the two counties as quickly as possible and establish effective rule as soon as possible.
Who among these transferred officials can be promoted to the head of each department in the two counties? Obviously, in the future, only the governors of the two counties will come to inspect and provide opinions to the Ministry of Personnel, who will ultimately make the appointment.
In addition to the two counties of Hexi and Annan, the four counties of Pingyi, Inner Mongolia, Liaoning, and Heilongjiang, including the county governors and the officials of various departments under the county governors, are also urgently selected in public.
Completely separate the people's livelihood and the military from each county to prevent the power of the rulers of each county from expanding to the point where the court cannot contain it and forming a state within a state. This is something that Hu Hai must treat with caution for a long time to come.
No matter how large the territory of the empire was, if it could not enforce the central government's decrees and prohibitions at the local level and maintain strong and effective rule over the local areas, even if the whole world was included in the territory of the Qin Dynasty, it would not be a big deal at this time in the pre-Qin period, but
Apart from putting gold on one's face, what else can it do? It's just a reflection of the mirror.
…
Xianyang, Ba Palace.
The dense pine forest that covers Ba Palace is evergreen all year round, but with the arrival of spring, it changes from the original dark green to an attractive light green.
On the side of Ba Palace close to the tributary of the Wei River, the originally dense pine forest was cut down years ago to create an open space of thirty acres in diameter. These open spaces have now been turned into paddy fields that are carefully plowed.
.
Chu Wen, who tucked the hem of his robe into his waist and stood with bare feet on the field ridge, looked at the thirty acres of paddy fields that had turned green and happily wiped the mud from his hands on his wrinkled green robe.
, unaware that his official robe was already covered in mud.
These green greens were bought by a few old farmers from the Indochina Peninsula with their lives following Mengkuo. However, every one of these hard-won wild rice seeds was stained with the blood of the dead soldiers of Longwei Mansion.
Without them, these rice seeds would never have appeared in Xianyang. It would have been impossible to see the vast swaths of green like today.
These rice seeds were brought all the way to Xianyang. Starting from the first month of the year, Chu Wen led a group of farmers, Mohists, and old scholars from the Royal Academy to open up this paddy field hidden in the dense forest of Ba Palace with the help of the Royal Forest Army.
.
Whether wild rice seeds can survive on Guanzhong soil and even produce grains? These thirty acres of experimental fields bear a major issue related to the national economy and people's livelihood. And only if wild rice seeds can survive, can Daqin improve on these viable rice seeds to create a truly suitable
Grain varieties grown in the Guanzhong soil were then spread throughout the country and even the Jianghuai area.
For experimental rice seeds, it is best to use mature fields. However, because most of these rice seeds live in the Indochina Peninsula and the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, which are humid, hot and sunny areas, considering that perhaps using new soil can better test the adaptability of these wild rice species,
After discussing with several old scholars from the farmer's family, Chu Wen reported to Hu Hai. After some consideration, Hu Hai chose the paddy field for the experiment near the heavily guarded Ba Palace.
Obviously, the cultivation of food cannot be completed in one or two years. The survival of wild rice seeds does not mean that the yield will be much higher than the corn, wheat and other crops grown in various parts of Daqin today. It does not mean that these rice
If the species can be planted in Guanzhong, it can certainly be planted in places with dense water networks in Shandong, Shanxi, the Central Plains and the Jianghuai area.
Experimenting in one place and promoting it in one place. Hu Hai believes that one day, food crops with higher yields and easier survival will be cultivated than the corn and other food crops grown in Daqin today.
In addition to wild rice seeds, Mengkuo also brought back some other plants found in Yunnan and Guizhou and around the Indochina Peninsula. Hu Hai had seen it before, but there was nothing he wanted to see, such as wild peanuts, sweet potatoes, corn, etc.
As for sweet potatoes, potatoes, peanuts, corn and other miscellaneous grains, Hu Hai just wanted to go along the way. He couldn't find wild seeds in Indochina and then cultivate them. After all, although history records that peanuts and corn in the land of China,
Most of the cereals such as potatoes and sweet potatoes were introduced from the American continent more than a thousand years ago, but it is not said that wild plants have not been found in China and Indochina.
Although the hope ultimately came to nothing, at least the American continent still exists?
If miscellaneous grains such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn can be successfully introduced into the land of China, the significance to the entire Chinese nation will be self-evident. These three types of crops do not have high requirements for climate and soil, and the land of China has the most
What is not lacking is actually land. The most important thing is that the output of potatoes and sweet potatoes, two major crops, can easily reach tens of thousands of kilograms.
As long as they can be planted on a large scale, no matter who is in charge in the future, will the world change its hands? If there is a year of famine, how many people can these two types of crops with huge yields be able to save?
Introducing tomatoes, potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, and peanuts to the Americas; introducing cotton to the Indian Peninsula. These are tasks that Hu Hai has long planned to complete. They are tasks, not others.
No matter how far the distance is or how great the difficulties, these crops must be introduced to the land of China as soon as possible.
There were about a dozen other old scholars from the farm beside Chu Wen. At this moment, their robes were basically the same as Chu Wen's. Their feet were bare, their sleeves were rolled up, their waists were stuffed with the skirts of their robes, and their bodies were covered in mud.
Starting from the first month of the first month, Chu Wen, more than a dozen farmers and scholars from the Mohist family moved their families to this paddy field and lived and ate here. Up to now, they have not returned to Xianyang for three months.
However, they still enjoy it. Everyone knows what it will mean to the Qin Dynasty and the people of the world if new grain varieties are successfully cultivated.
Chu Wen had just finished inspecting 30 acres of paddy field with several farmers' scholars. When he turned around, he found that there was a group of people on the left side of the paddy field. None of this was important. What was important was that the person who took off his shoes went down to the paddy field and pulled them out one after another.
After picking up several green rice plants (let’s call them rice for the time being), the group of people on the field embankment saw the leader descending into the paddy field. They all quickly removed their shoes and socks, as if they were about to descend into the paddy field.
