Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 728 Assimilation starts from the doll

Chapter [-] Assimilation starts from the doll
Grapes from Turpan, melons from Hami, apples from Aksu, and pears from Korla.

For a whole spring, Chen Ying ignored the ups and downs in Chang'an, and he led the soldiers of the Anxi Army and the people of Xizhou Road to reclaim wasteland and land.

After finishing the planting of 250 million mu of land, Chen Ying did not take time off.Lead the people to start building Xizhou Road into a fruit paradise in the Tang Dynasty.

As time goes by, in the dimpled vegetable fields, clumps of turquoise are full of vitality. A grape is expanding its territory everywhere. It makes people worry whether it will climb to the roof.The vines and leaves of the grapes are stained with some blue and white powder, which is the trace left after spraying Bordeaux mixture. This simplest pesticide protects the grapes from leaf mold damage, and even the pests dare not mess with it.

What makes Chen Ying very helpless is that there are no apples here yet, but Chen Ying has planted tens of thousands of acres of cantaloupe and watermelon at one go. If it comes to the harvest season, the entire Xizhou Road will be a paradise for melons and fruits.

In order to increase the meat on the dining table of Xizhou people, Chen Ying also encouraged the people to raise chickens and ducks.But when this method was first implemented, all the people unanimously resisted.

There is no way, although Chen Ying has made sufficient preparations, but with the continuous flow of Han slaves rescued by Liu Tong and Xunxiang on Tubo, in May of the fifth year of Wude, Xizhou Road has accepted them one after another. There are a total of 30 Han slaves from Tubo.

Due to the addition of 30 mouths, the food prepared by Chen Ying is far from enough.Now that the newcomers have missed the farming season, Chen Ying has no choice but to lead these people to make organic fertilizer.First, the feces of horses, cattle and sheep are collected, mixed with the cut grass, and fermented naturally. The fermented feces are packed in large water tanks one by one, and then flies are attracted to the tanks to lay eggs.

As long as the flies lay eggs in the tank, a large number of maggots can be obtained to feed chickens and ducks.In this way, not only can food be saved, eggs can also be used to supplement nutrition for these poor people.Even the soldiers of the whole army can pick up an egg and cook egg soup to add vegetables every now and then, so that everyone can improve their lives.

The most frustrating thing for Chen Ying was that Princess Minerwal of the Sassanid Empire seemed to be married to Chen Yingmao, and she was already able to march to Chang'an, but she stayed on Xizhou Road, and Chen Ying stopped at Gao Checheng, she followed to Gaoche City, Chen Ying went to Gaochang City, he went to Gaochang City, Chen Ying ran to Jingjue City, and he followed to Jingjue City.

Chen Ying stayed in Yecheng, and Minaval followed him to Yecheng for the next three days.

It is a good habit to plan ahead.In his spare time, Chen Ying also opened countless primary schools on Xizhou Road, and even every county must have at least one primary school.

Of course, the school has to learn one and only Tang Yan.Regardless of whether it is a child with white skin and red eyes or yellow hair and blue eyes, as long as the child reaches the age of eight, these children must be allowed to go to school. Regardless of gender, all children must go to school for three years. Triple the tax.Under the heavy punishment, all the people of all ethnic groups in the Western Regions had no choice but to bear the pain and let their children come to school.

Here in the Western Regions, these children are actually half-time laborers, especially the nomads. Their seven or eight-year-old children can lead a few hounds alone, and watch thousands of sheep or dozens of war horses.Although a person is small, he can be of great use.However, following Chen Ying's order, there were no more children running naked on the Western Region State Road.

Even Minaval, who was familiar with Tang Yan, was arrested by Chen Ying, including Ashina Simo, Zhou Qing, Ma Mengming, and even Luo Shixin, who was illiterate, and became a primary school teacher.

Almost the same as Datang University of Technology, the Xizhoudao Primary School here also does not study the Four Books and Five Classics. A "Thousand-Character Classic", "Three-Character Classic" and hundreds of surnames have become common enlightenment textbooks for all children in the Western Regions.

Chen Ying also gave Chinese surnames to people of all tribes in the Western Regions and changed their Chinese names.For example, the family name of Kasur directly takes the surname Su in its pronunciation, the family name of Malwa changes it to the family name Ma, and the family name Wensu directly takes the former character and changes it to the surname Wen.

Originally, the Wen clan in Taiyuan was not considered a big clan, but in just one month, they had more than [-] Wen clan members on Xizhou Road.

Changes are often inadvertent.Under this method, Chen Ying took Chinese surnames, spoke Tang dialect, and practiced Chinese customs. After three or two generations at most, does anyone remember what ethnicity they are?

Assimilation begins with the doll.

Minaval likes her current job very much. She is now a teacher of more than [-] children in Yecheng Primary School. She needs to teach these children to learn to recognize at least ten Chinese characters and speak a hundred sentences of Tang dialect every day.

Although the work is tiring, she is very happy.

As for Luo Shixin and other Tang army generals, the teachers they acted as were simple and rude, especially Luo Shixin, who actually talked about military law in class, and the Seventeenth Ban banned 54 cuts.

However, Chen Ying did not pursue it.There are too few people he can use now, so he has no choice but to make do with it.

As for Ma Mengming and Zhang Yan, traditional literati, they still have to talk about the spiritual essentials of Confucianism.

It is definitely inappropriate for them to teach children. Fortunately, there are many wealthy Han people in Xizhou Road. Most of their children are also learning Chinese and culture. Of course, they may not be very knowledgeable. The place.

There are only five or six hundred people in the entire Xizhou Road who can memorize the Analects of Confucius. These people were all gathered together and taught by Ma Mengming, Zhang Yan, and Zhang Shigui, who is both civil and military.The imperial court has not yet sent officials from the imperial court to go to Xizhou Road. Presumably, everyone is also biased against the Western Regions, which makes them discouraged from the Western Regions.

It seems that for a long time, Xizhou Road can only be governed by the people of Xizhou themselves.

Therefore, Chen Ying is also very concerned about these seeds of Xizhou Road. According to the understanding of Ma Mengming and Zhang Yan, Chen Ying intervened. You are wise, you can cultivate your mind by reading, you can govern the country by reading, and you can manage politics by reading. We studied in Xizhou, how can we search for chapters and extract sentences? Family affairs, state affairs, world affairs, and everything is concerned.”

When Minaval came back from school, she especially liked Chen Ying's stewed chicken.I don't know what's going on, but Chen Ying's chickens are very fat, their feathers are bright and shiny, and they are very energetic.

There is no way not to be fat. These chickens eat fly maggots every day. What they eat is high in protein. Can they not be fat?There are a large number of fly maggots as feed, and Chen Ying's manager's mansion raised thousands of chickens and ducks without much effort. Without these things, it would be fatal. There are thousands of mouths, and I don't know how much food I eat every day. Now People can't get enough to eat, how can there be surplus food to feed chickens and ducks?
Of course, this method of raising chickens and ducks cannot be told to Minaval, if she is told, she might not have the appetite to eat chickens.

Minaval said with a smile: "Master Chen, I can't understand you more and more. You are opening up wasteland, farming, and raising chickens. If you raise some pigs, wouldn't you be the biggest landlord?"

"Honestly, I really want to raise pigs!" Chen Ying said with a grin, "I've got people ready to collect breeding pigs. I want to start a large pig farm, raise thousands of pigs, and kill two at a time. Eat one and throw one away."

Minaval was stunned: "Raise thousands of pigs! Your appetite is too big!"

"What is this? Not only do I want to raise thousands of pigs, I also want to raise tens of thousands of goats, thousands of horses, and thousands of cows!" Chen Ying said with a smile: "Either I don't do it, or I have to do something earth-shattering." !"

Minaval shook her head. She was deeply influenced by the Sasanian smallholder economy, and she couldn't think of a scene where thousands of pigs were raised together. It must be spectacular, right?

Minaval felt more and more unbelievable: "There are so many livestock, what do you use to feed them?"

"Feed it with alfalfa and milk vetch!" Chen Ying said confidently, "It seems to be possible. I remember it like this!"
