Great Tang princess

Chapter 443 Goals for the next year
When the fifteenth day of the first lunar month passes, the year is officially over.

On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, the soldiers who went home for the Chinese New Year also came back from their holidays and chatted with their comrades about the interesting things they did during the Chinese New Year.

After hearing that the remaining soldiers threw grenades, the returning soldiers expressed their envy in real names.

The soldiers who just came back were still a little excited. After returning to the dormitory at night, they were still chatting with their comrades about the interesting things after returning home.

Li Yuechen strolled around the corridor with nothing to do, and occasionally he could hear laughter from the dormitory.

Compared with the relaxation here, the mood of the dormitory on the other side of the campus has become much different.

Whether it is a group of royal family children or the students in the military academy, they all feel that the holidays have passed too quickly, and they will have to devote themselves to intense study and training from tomorrow.

Li Yuechen doesn't know what the military academy will look like in the future, but here, the students of the military academy will also be trained.

They also get up and run when they hear the drumbeat every morning, study in the campus in the morning, and have combat and physical training in the afternoon after lunch break.

……

While the training resumed in the camp, the work of the engineering institute also started again.

Although it is still winter at this time, in the factory on the shore, the skeleton of the queen ship has already begun to be gradually perfected.

Li Yuechen went over to inspect and asked about the current construction progress.Overall, it's okay, because the design she gave is reasonable everywhere, so the craftsmen didn't encounter too much difficulty.

Standing on the still hollow bottom of the boat, Li Yuechen looked up.

Now the structure in the hull has basically been separated, and there is not much difference from the design drawing on the whole. The craftsmanship of these craftsmen is indeed very good.

Then she withdrew from the ship's frame, looked up and looked around.

Today's shipyard is far from meeting the standard of a factory building. It is better to say that it is a large shed with only one roof and no walls around it, which is extremely open.

This is also something that can’t be helped, after all, there is no money at present, and cost saving is a very important thing.

……

After the Chinese New Year, the soldiers officially started grenade training, and a series of explosions could be heard every so often in the training ground.

It also happened on New Year's Eve. The local villagers thought it was a supernatural event such as the appearance of the dragon king, but it exploded every now and then.

After entering February, although the weather is still a bit cold, many villagers are ready to go fishing again.

Li Yuechen was still pondering over the issue of hydrogen, when Geng Yunqiang suddenly came to the office: "Your Highness, some villagers want to exchange seafood with us for grenades..."

"Huh?" Li Yuechen looked up in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Geng Yunqiang quickly explained the cause and effect of the incident.

Since last year, many villagers have brought seafood to the army in exchange for salt. After a long time, those who come and go will become familiar with it.

After getting close, some villagers with more flexible brains will send some seafood over every now and then to cultivate relationships with the officers and build relationships with each other.

Years later, because of the frequent explosions, many villagers were more curious.In addition, you have to pass the training ground to go to the logistics, so you can occasionally vaguely see the training of soldiers.

Naturally, it can be guessed that the explosion should be man-made, not some god's apparition.

"A few villagers came over and wanted to exchange some grenades with the army to fry fish..." Geng Yunqiang reported.

Li Yuechen frowned after listening: "Tell them to go! Tell them, if you want to cooperate with the army, you must fish hard, and don't think about these crooked thoughts!"

"Yes!" Geng Yunqiang agreed, and hurried out to tell the truth.

However, Li Yuechen sighed slightly. She never underestimated the wisdom of the ancients, but she never thought that their thoughts could be so vivid.

And judging from Geng Yunqiang's expression just now, it is obvious that he agrees with this kind of thing in his heart.

After thinking about it, I still decided to notify the officers to come over for a meeting, and this opening cannot be opened for them.

Half an hour later, all the officers gathered in Li Yuechen's office, including teachers from the two military academies, Wang Xiaojie and Lun Qinling.

First let Geng Yunqiang explain the matter, and then Li Yuechen asked: "Why do you think this palace refused?"

Niu Ermao was the first to answer: "The Second Highness once said that the cost of this grenade is not low, and it would be too wasteful to use it to fry fish..."

"No..." Wang Xiaojie shook his head, "This kind of weapon is too lethal, how can it be safely handed over to ordinary people?"

Li Yuechen nodded: "It makes sense, but there are other reasons. Large-scale fish frying can easily lead to a sudden drop in the number of fish, and eventually lead to extinction. At that time, there will be no fish to catch."

Lun Qinling was a little puzzled: "How big is the sea area? How could it be so easy to catch them all?"

"Maybe this generation will not be extinct, but it's hard to say for the next few generations." Li Yuechen shook his head, "The key is that once such practices are spread inland, it will cause irreversible damage to the river. By then the river will be polluted , there will be no new fish to catch."

Geng Yunqiang asked: "But Your Highness, if it happens a few times..."

"You happen to do it a few times, and others can do it a few times. Once some openings are opened, it will cause unimaginable consequences." Li Yuechen interrupted him, "We can't kill all the prey, we have to give it to the descendants." It is better for people to leave some wealth!"

She didn't know if they could listen to what she said today, but at least for now, her status as a princess could still suppress them.

From Li Yuechen's point of view, it doesn't really matter to people to hunt, after all, it is to fill their stomachs, but hunting and fishing should not be excessive. Once the ecological balance is lost, it is human beings who will suffer.

In the future, the aquaculture industry will be very developed, and there is no problem with eating as much fish and meat as you want, but this is not the case in this era, and we still need to control it well.

And the most critical point is that many species with high fertility rates in the future may not have the same high fertility rates in this era. In many cases, other species evolve with humans, or they must be developed without affecting human development. , Do some ecological protection.

Of course, this is not in a hurry, and a law can be considered in the future.

……

In March of Yangchun, the snow accumulated throughout the winter had melted, and new shoots appeared on the branches.

The soldiers took off their overcoats, and Li Yuechen also changed out of his cloak, and put on the bright red round-neck robe that he was used to.

Walking on the beach where the sea breeze was still a bit cold, she slowly thought about her plan for this year.

Wang Wuqiong trotted over and took out a letter: "Your Highness, a letter from Liu Zihe."

Li Yuechen took a look at it, and said that he had already set off from Hainan, and he should be able to come over in May to learn the technique of drying salt.

After reading the letter, Li Yuechen lowered his head and thought about it. In this way, the system of public money should be cancelled.

Once this kind of refined salt comes out and sells it cheaply, it will certainly be able to completely defeat the private salt market. In this way, the royal family's finances will surely increase several times, and there will be no need for public money.

After the salt field in Hainan is built, the refined salt will be supplied to the whole country, and the Qianniuwei and the Navy will be present at the same time, so we should be able to start reforming the tax system.

She was walking on the beach while thinking, her thoughts gradually drifting, perfecting the next plan.

In the past few years, the experiment in Hainan has been going well. Although it has not yet reached the terrifying yield of hybrid rice, it is true that progress can be seen every year.

Now that the national food price is stable, the granaries in various places are also extremely sufficient, and the national power is booming. Perhaps in the next few years, the issue of consolidating the country can be considered.

Turks, the Western Regions have already been Tubo... In the future, they will definitely be included in the country's territory, and preparations must be made in advance in this regard.

The key issue is how to control it is the biggest problem after it has entered the country.

The nomadic civilization on the prairie is doomed to be unable to farm, and if it wants to stabilize its interior, it must have extremely high control power.

The first is the problem of food supply, so that they can get food and clothing without having to plunder and fight, and the second is the problem of trade and education.

Ordinary people, as long as they are not compared to the point where they cannot survive, they cannot rebel if they have food and clothing... The key is whether they can create an environment that ambitious people cannot take advantage of.

However, Li Yuechen also knows that the current idea is good, but there must be many obstacles in it, and it may not be so easy to complete it completely.

……

Dongdu, inside Jixian Temple.

Wu Zetian finished her work early and strolled gently in the hall with her hands behind her back.

Her daughter advised her not to sit all the time when she was fine, but to move around, so now she basically walks around for a while after approving memorials every day.

Not to mention, it feels different if you move more every day, and your spirit is much better.

Shangguan Wan'er will give her a massage when she is fine, which can relieve a lot of fatigue.

After all, I am not young anymore, and I have to fight with the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty all day long, and I have to review memorials, which consumes a lot of energy.

Looking at Shangguan Wan'er who was making tea next to her, she asked, "How is the matter with Guan Yan recently?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, it's selling well, and it's used in many restaurants." Shangguan Wan'er replied.

Don't look at her who is inseparable from Wu Zetian's side every day, besides helping to approve the memorials, she also serves tea and water, but as the commander of the hidden guards, there is nothing in the Eastern Capital that can be hidden from her eyes.

"Well, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, they don't dare to be too arrogant, but other places..."

"Sages don't have to worry, the quantity is still too small now. According to His Highness, a large amount of refined salt will be shipped to the whole country in the future. With their strength, they won't be able to store it at all!" Shangguan Wan'er laughed.

According to Li Yuechen's introduction in the letter, the two large salt farms in Hainan and Qingdao can really sell all the salt in the country at the price of cabbage.

At that time, whoever wants to store it can store it, anyway, the official salt will never be out of stock!
　Let's start with [-] words today. I need to adjust my status in the past few days.
