Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

In 231 A.D., the ninth year of Jianxing, Emperor Liu Chan of the Han Dynasty, the first month.

The first month of the lunar year enters the night earlier than usual, and the palace maid shuttles through the palace to light up the lamps, and the orange fire lamps are distributed little by little, illuminating the gradually darkening new palace.

The Habayashi guards who were on duty at night had already changed their guards. They were covered with cotton robes and held halberds on the ground, ignoring the severe cold, guarding the emperor in the palace.

Inside the palace, the lights were brightly lit, and the emperor was wearing a blanket, handling political affairs at his desk, and the maid beside him was holding a small urn of chicken soup. Wearing plain clothes and a pure face, Wang Meiren was holding chicken soup for Liu Chan with a wooden spoon.

"His Majesty!"

Holding the lacquer bowl, Wang Meiren shouted timidly: "The chicken soup is still warm, and it tastes just right when you eat it."

Liu Chan looked up, pointed to the table, and said, "No hurry, put it on the table. I'll drink it when I'm done!"

"promise!"

Wang Meiren squatted down to reveal her seductive curves, and put the chicken soup on the table.

From the corner of her eyes, Liu Chan saw that Wang Meiren was still beside the case, and asked, "Why is there something else?"

Wang Meiren hesitated for a while, and said: "If my concubine is embroidering beside me, it may affect your majesty."

Liu Chan stopped the brush, shook his head and said, "No, you can embroider with peace of mind."

Wang Meiren curled up her lips and said with a slight smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After finishing speaking, Wang Meiren took the plain clothes seven or eight steps away from Liu Chan, and punctured the scarlet pattern.

Liu Chan sighed slightly, the worst concubine in the palace was born as a queen's maid, but Wang Meiren was born as a dancer, it can be said that she was the most humble in the palace, so be careful everywhere in the palace, and dare not say too much , Afraid of provoking right and wrong.He is also very careful when getting along with himself, for fear of offending himself.

The most common thing to do is to silently weave brocades. When the number of concubines in the palace compares with the number of brocades, except for the first time that Wang Meiren won the first place, she is either second or third, very low-key.

Liu Chan restrained his mind and refocused his attention on the memorabilia.This memorial was written by Fei Yi, explaining how he mobilized the local surnames, contributed money and food, repaired water conservancy, and inscribed a series of measures on stones and engraved oaths.

Liu Chan read it very carefully, taking notes with a pen from time to time, and wrote his ideas on another scarf.

Whether it is an agricultural society or a modern society, water conservancy projects play a vital role in economic development.In modern society, it can be said that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads and integrate yourself into the capital market; in ancient times, the most important thing is to develop agriculture, and the first thing is to repair water conservancy.

Take Yizhou as an example, it is located in the south, as long as it is a paddy field, rice can be grown, and the yield of rice is much higher than that of millet and wheat, and even the yield of one mu of rice in agriculturally developed areas is twice that of one mu of wheat. After two ripening in a year, the gap is relatively large.

In recent years, most of the repairs of water conservancy facilities in the Han Dynasty have been done by the government. For example, Zhuge Liang maintained Dujiangyan and dispatched weir officials during his administration; during his time in Hanzhong, he repaired mountains and rivers and irrigated thousands of hectares of farmland.

As for other counties, basically nothing has been done. Although it has a lot to do with the reason for the small number of unowned wasteland in Yizhou, it is not the main reason.For example, although Badi has few plains and many mountains, it can borrow fields from the mountains to form terraced fields (PS: there were already terraced fields in Shu in Han Dynasty).

In other words, Langzhong County in Badi has Pengchi Daze, which can be diverted for irrigation.No matter how hard you try, you can always tap the potential inside.Not to mention that the Longyou area, which has just been attached to it, has been in war for many years, and many water conservancy projects have basically been left unrepaired and abandoned.

Longyou can grow not only wheat, but also rice. For example, Wudu, Tianshui, and even parts of Lanzhou can grow rice.It's just that the conditions for rice cultivation are very harsh. Regardless of the climate, a large amount of water is most needed for irrigation.

Therefore, if the water conservancy can be extensively repaired in Longyou, and rice can be planted in suitable places, it will definitely make Longyou rich and stockpile grain and grass for the army to conquer Guanzhong.

However, due to the large-scale expenditure required for water conservancy, the officials in Longyou of the Han Dynasty have not built and restored water conservancy, so the problem of funds is the first priority.

Thinking of this, Liu Chan smelled the chicken soup again and felt a little hungry, so he put down his pen on the table, took a lacquer bowl containing chicken soup and drank it, picking up delicious chicken from time to time and chewing.

The chicken melted in the mouth, the soup in it overflowed, and the sweet taste filled his mouth. Liu Chan couldn't help nodding. He has been a sweet party since ancient times.

Beauty Wang peeked over, and seeing Liu Chan's expression of love, she felt a sweetness in her heart, and dimples appeared on the corners of her mouth.

Liu Chan put down the lacquer bowl and asked in a gentle voice, "The chicken soup is very sweet, what's in it?"

Wang Meiren put down her needlework and said with a slight smile: "After consulting the doctor, I added some medicinal materials to it for nourishment. It tastes so sweet, like Eucommia."

When it comes to the word Eucommia, Wang Meiren's crystal clear ears turn red.

Eucommia ulmoides is a valuable medicinal material, which has the effects of nourishing the liver and kidney, strengthening tendons and bones, and regulating energy and energy.

Naturally, Liu Chan also knew the effect of this product, so he couldn't help laughing, and filled another bowl.While drinking the chicken soup, he looked at Wang Meiren's graceful figure.

Wang Meiren blushed, gently brushing her temples and hair behind her ears, as if she didn't know what Liu Chan was thinking, she embroidered the vermilion thread on the plain clothes.

Ah!Women only affect how quickly I can deal with politics.

Liu Chan also gradually put his mind back on water conservancy matters, after all, political matters are more important than lust matters.

The biggest problem for Dahan to get new water conservancy projects in various counties and counties is the source of funds. Except for the government-led repair of water conservancy, the other funds must not be paid by Dahan counties. After all, the current Dahan cannot afford it.

The wool can only come from the sheep. Fei Yi mobilized the people in the localities to repair the canals, based on who would benefit the most and who would pay more.Therefore, it is necessary for the beneficiary to share the corresponding proportion of money or manpower according to the number of acres of land benefited.

Ordinary people don't have money, so they contribute their labor and food, while rich households don't have to work hard and just pay money and food.

If the big households have no money, they can ask the counties to provide low-interest loans and pay them back later.

Therefore, Liu Chan wrote on the scarf and silk with a pen: "In the construction of water conservancy, the beneficiaries will divide the land and mu into the beneficiaries, and the money, grain, and power will be paid. The core source of funding for water conservancy facilities.

Liu Chan pondered for a while, and said to himself: "This water conservancy should not be built arbitrarily. It may harm the people's fields. It should be reported to the imperial court before it can be repaired, and it should be supervised by others, so that this law will not harm the people."

After a pause, Liu Chan closed his eyes and thought about something, and suddenly thought of something, sorted out his thoughts slightly, and wrote: "All counties and counties should report the rivers that should be dredged, the canals that should be built or expanded in the territory, and the methods of repair and the required costs should be submitted. And estimate the number of acres of irrigated fields."

After all, the most difficult fundraising has been solved. First, find out the canals that need to be repaired in the territory, and then discuss with Zhuge Liang and others to improve the corresponding water conservancy policy, and then implement it.
