People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 392 Greening
"Water wheel?"

Li Yifu thought about it carefully, and this time he slapped his forehead and said, "That's right, we can irrigate with waterwheels."

Smiling awkwardly again, Li Yifu immediately called the people in the village to make waterwheels.

The mighty land reclamation in Jingyang Village has started again.

People from nearby villages also came to watch, although they were no strangers to the wasteland reclamation in Jingyang.

But still willing to see.

A land reclamation team of more than 2000 people is busy in the fields.

On the other side of this wasteland, many Jingyang villagers are building breeding farms.

It's already summer, and the sun is shining brightly, and the construction work in Jingyang Village has started again in full swing.

Li Zheng asked Daniu to take Di Renjie and Pei Xingjian's children to work on building the waterwheel.

The waterwheels in the village were made by the children of Daniu.

Li Zhi was sweating profusely from his work, and the children didn't stop working until the afternoon, planning to continue making waterwheels tomorrow.

"How does His Royal Highness King Jin feel? Will it be too bitter?" Li Zheng asked while eating dry food.

Li Zhi was also eating dry food and sitting by the Jingyang River, putting his feet in the cool water like other children.

Feet are the most tiring after a busy day.

Li Zhi dangled his feet in the river while eating dry food and said, "It's not bitter, I think it's quite fun."

Li Zheng stroked Li Zhi's head, "I'm going to be your brother-in-law soon, how are you preparing for your dowry?"

"Heh." Li Zhi smiled contemptuously, took another bite of dry food and said, "Li Zheng, you even want money from me, a child, and it's just like what my sister said, you are desperate for money."

Li Zheng pondered, "It turns out that your sister has been talking bad about me. It seems that after she gets married, I will make a good family law."

Li Zhi looked at Li Zheng ignorantly, "What is the family law?"

"The state owns the state law, and the family has the family law. His Royal Highness King Jin doesn't even know the family law. Sure enough, His Majesty still neglects your family education."

"Does family law have anything to do with family education?" Li Zhi asked.

"It should be related." Li Zheng said thoughtfully.

In the evening, you can see that many villagers have returned to the village, and today's land reclamation has come to an end.

There will be more grain in Jingyang next year.

The folk customs of Datang are simple and honest, and the villagers are very passionate about opening up wasteland.

After the disaster in Guanzhong early years ago, villagers in Jingyang attached great importance to food.

The more things like food, the better, and if there is a little less, I will feel uneasy.

Now Jingyang has enough grain to feed the villagers of Jingyang for a year, but they still dare not neglect such things as farming.

The drought and locust plague since the second year of Zhenguan, floods have cast a shadow on the hearts of too many people.

I am deeply afraid that one day another disaster will cause people in Guanzhong to starve to death.

Everyone in the Tang Dynasty regarded food as the top priority.

Li Yifu came back to report the current situation of land reclamation, "The county lord has already landed a total of [-] mu of land today. At that time, the soil will be backfilled, and the bellflower field will be burned to fertilize it. The old village chief said that the land here is not very good, and it needs to be used for farming. Ditch, let the ground wet for a while, and most of the people will go to dig the ditch."

Li Zheng nodded, "How is the situation of the new farm?"

Li Yifu turned over a page of the brochure and replied: "The foundation is still being laid, and it is estimated that the foundation will be solidified next year."

Li Zheng also said: "Chang'an has a lot of wind and sand, and we have planted some trees on both sides of the new road we have built."

Li Yifu asked curiously: "It has already been planted."

"Sand and dust are prone to appear in the west of Chang'an, especially in the direction of Longyou. There are many kinds of trees, which can block the wind and sand. This is different from the road we built to Chang'an before."

Li Yifu recorded Li Zheng's request, "How much do you want to plant?"

"Thirty percent inside and outside, three lines of planting."

Li Yifu thought for a while and said, "About five thousand trees."

Li Zheng nodded, "Let's arrange it. You settle the wages as usual, and leave this matter to Xu Jingzong."

"Understood." Li Yifu nodded.

Li Shimin doesn't care much about things like greening, nor does he care about things like wind and sand.

It is not easy for them to solve the people's livelihood and make the people in the Central Plains have enough food.

Not to mention any achievements in the environment.

Li Zheng knew that as long as a vast green belt was built in the Longyou area, most of the wind and sand would be blocked.

It seems that every emperor doesn't care about such things so much. For them, God needs to be respected.

Thunder, rain and dew are all the blessings of God, and I regard this kind of thing as a natural phenomenon from the ideological point of view.

Don't think that this situation can be changed.

After hundreds of years, this kind of desertification will become more and more serious.

Of course, it's useless to tell Li Shimin that this kind of thing is useless. For Li Shimin, he has only lived for more than ten years, and it is much more important for Li Shimin to make achievements in expanding the territory and dominating the world than doing greening.

In his limited life, Li Shimin is more willing to make achievements that can be passed down to future generations, which may be the most important thing to him.

If you, Li Shimin, can't do it, I can only do it. Step by step, start from Longyou, then go to the west of Huairou in the Central Plains, and even all the Loess Plateau in the Central Plains.

Li Zheng remembered that he suffered from wind and sand when he was a child, at least he could start from this life.

"The greening can't be left behind." Li Zhengzhu said with emotion, "Li Yifu, you should go back to rest earlier."

"Here."

When he returned to the stables, Cheng Chumo had already returned from Chang'an.

This guy wasn't very emotional. Seeing Li Zheng came back, Cheng Chumo said loudly, "I want to eat chili bibimbap tonight."

Li Zheng took a breath, "Brother Chu Mo, what's wrong with you?"

Cheng Chumo spit out a mouthful of saliva and said: "The knife you gave me, the old guy dedicated it to His Majesty in a blink of an eye."

"Good thing." Li Zheng said.

"Good thing?" Cheng Chumo said again: "Then you can make one for me."

"It doesn't matter, maybe the knives in the army will be replaced with new knives like that in two years, why should Brother Chu Mo be in a hurry."

Cheng Chumo looked at Li Zheng and said: "My old man also said that you, Li Zheng, gave me the knife just to let our family show His Majesty. It's just your means of borrowing flowers to present Buddha."

"This..." Li Zheng hesitated.

Cheng Chumo patted his chest and said: "I know, Li Zheng, you will definitely not be that kind of person. It's all my old man's excuse to curry favor with His Majesty."

Seeing Cheng Chumo's expression of deep hatred for his father, Li Zheng turned and walked into the kitchen.

Perhaps because of a guilty conscience, Li Zheng planned to make Dongpo meat, tofu and fish head soup tonight.

The sumptuous dishes were brought to the table, and the children all came to the dining table and had dinner.

Li Tai also came back from Chang'an, these days Li Tai has been busy in Chang'an compiling the topography with Cen Wenwen and the others.

At the dinner table, Li Tai said to Li Zheng: "I've been so busy recently, I don't know what's wrong recently, if I don't run for half an hour every morning, I won't be energetic all day long."
