Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 136 The Exchange Student in Youzhou
Rice, oil, soy sauce, vinegar and tea are Li Tai's administrative program.

With the completion of the integration of the coal industry in its own hands, the entire industrial chain from ore collection to the final sale of coal itself has completed a complete industrial production chain.

From then on, it is possible to use lower-priced and higher-quality coal to occupy the market and train more talents in the coal industry.

For Li Tai, an industrial chain alone is not enough. More precisely, he needs a replicable industrial chain, so that a real industrial system can be formed from these industrial chains.

In this way, I can make coal a substitute for firewood, and slowly spread to the entire Datang.

Of course, Li Tai knows that the cities around the Weihe River, which are densely populated, will be able to make profits when these coal industries are established.

Those whose population is below a certain level, or have no roads or rivers, even though the price of coal is cheap, but including the freight, it is not affordable for ordinary people.

However, for Li Tai now, the most important thing is not to promote this model to the whole country, but to use this model to train as many skilled workers as possible and accumulate relevant technical experience.

After all, only if the entire coal industry can be replicated, it will be much easier to promote it to the whole country.

Of course, Li Tai most hopes that the imperial court's steel industry can be controlled by himself, so as to form even the most preliminary mixture of coal and steel.

But in reality, it is impossible for him to obtain the two national monopoly of salt and iron for no reason.

In any case, with the arrival of March, the entire imperial court fell into the quietest situation.

No one cared about enfeoffment anymore, and no one came to make calculations anymore, because the entire imperial court began to operate for smooth spring plowing.

Don't say that the people are too busy to rest at this time, even the officials don't touch the ground.

In the busy work, the entire Tang Dynasty can be said to be thriving, and everyone is working extremely hard.

"We still have to farm!" Liu Rengui, who came to Youzhou, couldn't help complaining at this time.

Compared with those students who moved from Youzhou to Gaoling and were thrown to the construction site of the Zhengbaiqu Project to move bricks, the students from Gaoling who came to Youzhou had the same task of farming.

"It's okay!" Wang Xuance said calmly, "We are just sowing grass seeds, and we don't need to manage them like growing grain.

When they grow taller, they will cut another stubble, and when they recover, they will cut another stubble.

Then select the most suitable grass seeds and sell them to those nomadic aliens. This is much easier than farming! "

"Yes yes yes!" Liu Rengui exclaimed,
"I didn't expect that the pasture policy proposed by King Yue at the court had already been tried in Youzhou.

When I was in Gaoling, I didn’t see these at all. I thought that the King of Yue was just talking about it! "

"Forage plan?" Wang Xuance was stunned when he heard Liu Rengui's words, and asked curiously, "What plan for pasture?"

"It's a means to control the alien race in the north. At the beginning, Duke Yu and Secretary Wei had an argument over how to arrange the Eastern Turks. In the end, King Yue proposed such a plan."

Liu Rengui explained,

"Let the aliens no longer live by the water and grass, but let them settle down, it seems that it has already started a trial in Youzhou.

Well, these grass seeds are finished, go back! "

To be honest, cultivating grass seeds is relatively the easiest job.

Even so, in the first year, I looked at the land that could be used as arable land, and a large area was used to cultivate this grass species.

To be honest, many farming people still feel distressed. Even if Li Chunfeng hadn't forcibly passed the order, they might be beaten to death by the farmers for doing so!

But there is no way, this kind of thing needs to be tested after all.

Without conducting large-scale experiments and collecting detailed data, there is no way to select the grass species that are most suitable for livestock and have the best yield.

Because it is to imitate the growth state of these pastures in a natural environment, it does not need much care.

Basically, just sprinkle a handful of grass seeds and let it grow naturally. Therefore, this year's cultivated land can only be regarded as fallow.

At this time, the most important thing is not to take care of itself, but to record various data regularly.

So the batch of exchange students from Chang'an are basically put in this project.

When the group finished the task of sowing grass seeds and returned to Youzhou Academy, Li Chunfeng found the two of them at this time.

After all, Li Tai said in the letter that he should take good care of the two of them, so Li Chunfeng was naturally obedient.

"Jijiu, are you looking for the two of us?" When the two returned to school, they were notified immediately that Li Chunfeng had come to look for them.

"Sit down, sit down!" Li Chunfeng greeted the two calmly, "This time I came to you because the school is going to try to grow some edible aquatic plants near Jinkou, so I want to ask if you students are interested?"

"Edible aquatic plants?" Hearing Li Chunfeng's words, the two of them couldn't help but look at each other and didn't expect this thing.

"It was mentioned in the letter from King Yue!" Li Chunfeng said,
"Look for some of the best aquatic plants that can be eaten by fish and people. After cultivation, they may be eaten as vegetables by the sea. After all, it is good to save a bit of arable land and food.

More importantly, the King of Yue proposed to win Goguryeo in the future, so the ocean would be enclosed, and the whole could become a huge fish pond.

At that time, maybe we can study artificial fish farming, just like farming to cultivate some delicious fish.

And to feed these fish, it is necessary to prepare meals for these fish. "

To be honest, although Li Chunfeng felt that Li Tai was a bit crazy when he proposed to Li Tai, after all, if there were not enough fish to eat, he could just catch fish, why bother to cultivate them slowly, the sea is so big, is it still afraid that these fish will be hunted clean? .

But there is no way, Li Tai just likes such a tune.

First produce food, and then use the food for breeding. For example, the original chicken raising, the current pasture plan, and the so-called Bohai Sea fish farming planned so early are almost the same reason.

"Did you take down Goguryeo?" Both Wang Xuance and Liu Rengui couldn't help being a bit dazed, they had never thought about this question.

After all, since the independence of Goguryeo, the Sui Dynasty almost carried out three conquests in order to bring it back into the Chinese territory.

After three times, the entire Sui Dynasty fell apart.

Under such circumstances, the Tang people had somewhat of a psychological shadow on Goguryeo.

To a certain extent, Li Shimin had little to stop Li Shimin from attacking the East Turks, but if it was to fight Goguryeo, the people who stopped him would definitely follow suit.

After all, the Sui Dynasty said it would be gone, and they were afraid that the Tang Dynasty would repeat the same mistakes.

However, it is almost inevitable for Datang or any Chinese regime to conquer Goguryeo.

Because that area is very prone to a regime that threatens the Central Plains, whether it is the fall of the Song Dynasty or the fall of the Ming Dynasty, it clearly records the threat of that area to the Central Plains civilization.

It's just that the future story hasn't happened in history yet, but anyone with a good strategic vision will understand the threat that area poses to the civilization of the Central Plains, especially the higher the civilization, the higher the threat.

"There will definitely be a battle between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo! And I, the Tang Dynasty, will surely win!" Li Chunfeng said confidently.

Li Chunfeng came to Zhuojun, especially after seeing the Tang ships sailing on the Bohai Sea, he was very sure of this.

Because Youzhou can't become China's barrier, as long as Goguryeo reacts and frantically uses navigation skills, it is really not difficult to research ships across the Bohai Sea with the level of a top kingdom.

At that time, those from Youzhou to Qingzhou will enter Goguryeo's offensive range, which is dangerous enough for any unified dynasty to bear.

Datang didn’t think much of this when he didn’t have the navy skill at the beginning, but after Li Tai proposed the water supply plan, Li Jing completed the transfer from the navy to the navy, and Li Dejian began to lead the navy to start training. .

Step by step, both Li Jing and Li Shimin are very clear that the issue of Goguryeo needs to be put on the agenda.

Hearing Li Chunfeng's firm words, both Liu Rengui and Wang Xuance were also excited.

Liu Rengui stood up and said, "Xuance, you have a talent for languages ​​and are good at dealing with other races, so you will stay and continue to complete the grass planting records. Let me try this work of aquatic plant cultivation."

Wang Xuance didn't expect Liu Rengui to be one step ahead, so he opened his mouth, he didn't compete with Liu Rengui after all.

Nodding helplessly, let's continue to complete the grass seed plan in my hand!

Li Chunfeng saw that the two had made a choice, so he stopped talking nonsense, but gave Liu Rengui a letter of recommendation, asking him to report to Li Dejian's navy first.

Because the navy is one of the investors of Youzhou University, students of general sea projects need to go on the navy.

Possessing a qualified navy quality, and being a retired ship from the navy, is considered teaching.

After all, Li Chunfeng is poor. It is impossible for every student to prepare a boat. How can Li Chunfeng get so much money to waste.

It's better to throw it into the navy and carry out systematic training from beginning to end, and then let Li Dejian take away some of the tall and powerful people who are good at fighting, and the remaining part of the eliminated people will be put into production.

And relying on this kind of cooperation, the proportion of students from Youzhou University in Li Dejian's navy has actually gradually increased.

Because Li Dejian also discovered that these people walked around the school and learned how to read and write, and they seemed to be much better than those veterans in terms of organization and discipline.

In particular, the navy is a technical branch, and a lot of skill experience with ships is far more important than the experience left over from life and death fights.

Life and death experience can be accumulated from the continuous suppression of bandits, but the opportunity to read and write is not something you can learn if you want to in this society.

But in any case, with the joining of students from Youzhou, the navy of the entire Tang Dynasty also made the navy more organized.

At the moment, Li Tai, who is far away in Chang'an, has been busy for three months because of the integration of the coal mines in the Guanzhong area, and finally built a complete framework.

A few supervisors were mentioned to let them run the entire coal mine system. Li Tai didn't dare to ensure how well this thing could work, but it was enough to run it first, and it would be fine to adjust it if something went wrong.

His main purpose is to reduce the cost of coal as much as possible, and then sell coal to replace the wood in the hands of the people.

However, the common people have not yet enjoyed the low coal price, but their bathrooms, saunas, boiling water shops and other industries that mainly sell hot water services, as long as they are near the water, they basically enjoy this wave of coal. The benefit of reduced prices.

Li Tai calculated the cost a little bit, and then looked at all the hot water service industries in Guanzhong, he couldn't help being a little dazed.

Because the whole system is almost closed-loop, after deducting labor costs, I seem to have made a little more unconsciously.

The income brought by the entire hot water system, not to mention any additional impact, is just pure sales benefits, which has a tendency of breaking 3000 million yuan per year.

Three thousand hanging money is not too little, not to mention other derivative industries brought by the hot water industry, the income is even more valuable.

Li Tai looked at the data he had calculated, and narrowed his eyes slightly:

"It feels a bit too much to eat the dividends of the Weihe River, and it seems to be developing towards the surrounding state roads.

For things like money, it's better to use it quickly, it doesn't make much sense to keep it in your hands! "

Of course, this sentence is for capitalists, but for individual people, because the money in their hands is equal to their own capital against the security of the entire society, it is not wrong to keep more money in their hands after all.

As for why the government does not develop towards counties and counties but towards state roads, one of the very important reasons is that the roads between states and roads will be maintained by the court to some extent, but the degree of maintenance of roads between counties and counties will drop significantly. As for the roads from the countryside to the counties, there is no need to count on it.

For Li Tai, the transportation cost brought by transportation is the most restrictive obstacle to the development of his coal system.

If he is the emperor, these problems can naturally be solved, just order the road to be repaired.

But the problem is that he is only a prince, so it is impossible to let the corvees of Gaoling build roads in other counties.

Therefore, except for the road from the entire Zhengbaiqu area to Gaoling, Li Tai planned to let the Gaoling corvees repair it along the way, so that they could buy and sell coal in these places.

As for other places, let's plan with the state highway as the goal.

After Li Tai arranged all these things, Du Chuke approached Li Tai and said:

"King Yue, the wheat has been harvested this year, and it's a bumper harvest! It's a bumper harvest again, and the momentum is even better than last year's!"

When Li Tai heard Du Chuke's words, he was overjoyed and said, "It's the end of May, and the harvest will be ready soon.

He sent a letter to the imperial court to inform Gaoling of the harvest, and also informed Yan Langzhong.

The painting he owed me, but this time it will be handed over to me! "

Li Tai immediately notified the imperial court of this matter. This bumper harvest can prove that the planting technology of his agricultural school is indeed excellent. At the same time, his agricultural official plan can also be implemented with this bumper harvest!
