Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 265 Positioning of Hehuang Valley

In fact, the imperial court moved quite quickly, sending Li Tai's appointment to Li Jing in a hurry.

Li Jing changed hands, and Li Tai, who was going to follow Li Jing to Qinghai Lake to see, became the governor of Shanzhou.

At the same time, the Hehuang Valley was also renamed Shanzhou, and Li Tai was given full authority to manage it, and was responsible for assisting the Tang army's logistics and transportation.

To be honest, the appointment and dismissal came quite suddenly for Li Tai, but for Li Jing, it came at the right time.

Originally Li Jing was still considering why Li You would place Li Tai behind, but now with the order from the Holy Majesty, it is natural to arrange Li Tai reasonably.

Li Tai looked at Li Jing's triumphant horseshoe, as if he had cast a blame on him.

If it weren't for the fact that he was in his 60s, I would really have the urge to hit him with a sap from behind.

However, Li Jing was sure that Li Tai would stay in Shancheng. In addition to Li Tai's [-] plays and the [-] medical battalion personnel Li Tai asked to stay, Li Jing also left about [-] wounded soldiers to assist Li Tai. Thai.

The next step is to go to Qinghai Lake. It is necessary to climb a rather high mountain road. It is impossible for seriously injured people to let them climb along.

Similarly, he was not at ease leaving Li Tai in Shanzhou, a city that had just been conquered, so he arranged some wounded for Li Tai.

By the way, ask Ren Yaxiang to let him pay attention. After all, the cities occupied in the war are different from the cities behind.

However, these 3000 wounded soldiers remained, to Li Jing, it was killing two birds with one stone.

One is to reduce the logistical pressure on oneself, and the other is to wait until these people recover from their injuries so that they can be used by King Yan.

Although Li Jing didn't mean to stand directly against Li Tai, Li Tai had finally won Li Jing's respect through the experience of these days, so as much as he could take care of him, Li Jing would take care of him as well.

But even so, Li Tai still has a headache looking at Shancheng now!

Li Taiwei sighed a bit, looking at Shancheng, which had already been severely scraped by Hou Junji, and other soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were also patronizing one after another, he had to admit that, at least during this period of time, Datang was the invader, It is the imperialist powers!
Thinking of this, Li Tai secretly made up his mind, so why should he prolong the lifespan of this great power?
The local people who survived are basically only women and children. Not many men survived, and most of them are under the age of 15.

Li Tai could see that these people looked at Tang Jun with serious fear and hatred from the bottom of their hearts.

If eyes can be turned into sharp swords, then what I have to face at this moment is Wan Jian Guizong.

"Hou Junji, you have left me with a lot of trouble!" Li Tai sighed and said to Xue Lie beside him,

"Rengui, go to the gate of Shancheng and set up a wooden sign. Then find someone who understands Tuyuhun language to read it."

"King Yan, are you trying to appease the local people?" Xue Lie asked after hearing Li Tai's words.

"Comfort?" Li Tai shook his head and said, "I want to tell them that I like to eat people's hearts and do evil things the most. Now I have no reason to look for them. If they don't respect my order, if one person commits a crime, they will all be imprisoned!"

The people around Li Tai couldn't help but twitch their mouths when they heard Li Tai's words, and Lu Anshou said:
"King Yan is so unstoppable. If the sage finds out, he won't want to blame you, but we are afraid that we will be punished by the sage!"

"That's right, I'm the King of Yan after all, and I need to cherish my feathers, so let's change it in the name of Lu Anshou!"

As Li Tai spoke, he patted Lu Anshou on the shoulder and said,

"Anshou, in order to stabilize Shancheng, I need someone to be a villain. I'm afraid I will wrong you!"

"No...don't feel wronged!" Lu Anshou didn't expect that he would get him by just interjecting a word.

But in the face of Li Tai's condolences, what can Lu Anshou do, can't he still refuse!

"But King Yan...won't he appease the local people?" Zu Changming couldn't help asking after listening to Li Tai's words.

"With the performance of the government soldiers, don't you feel disgusted if you act like a family of soldiers and people now!"

Li Tai pressed his temples and said, "Calculate the remaining people.

Let these people take the household as the basic unit, every five households is one guarantee, five guarantees are one big guarantee, ten ten guarantees are one capital guarantee, each guarantee needs one person to be a small, each one is guaranteed, and one person is selected to grow, Let them assist us in our actions, and punish mistakes directly together. "

"Assist us? Just them? I feel like we can control Shancheng without them!" Lu Anshou said.

"But what I want is to manage Shancheng well!" Li Tai smiled and continued,
"However, I really need someone to play the black face. From now on, you will be responsible for leading people to find the street and showing the arrogance.

Don't affect the normal life of the common people, if someone bumps into your hand, remember how Gaoling dealt with it back then! "

"Send it to the coal mine to dig coal!" Lu Anshou said with some energy, "Is there coal here too?"

"No, but sending them to dredge the waterways is the same. After all, it is necessary to maintain Manager Li's grain transportation as much as possible!"

Li Tai calmly decided the price to be paid by those who disobeyed him, and continued,

"The other person makes a mistake and is fully insured. I don't expect them to like us, I just need them to obey orders!"

"The king of Yan wants the local people to listen to us and work? How is this possible?"

After all, Ren Yaxiang understood Li Tai's meaning, and knew exactly what Li Tai's purpose was when he said this sentence.

When Li Tai heard Ren Yaxiang's words, he fell silent for a while, and said, "Let's take a look first.

The first step is to determine how many households are left in Shancheng, so you, Rengui, lead your headquarters to put up notices.

Release the news that we have taken over Shancheng first, and register the number of people in Shancheng before talking about anything else. "

Xue Rengui responded with a salute. Although he didn't understand Li Tai's operation, he believed that King Yan could stabilize the area.

As Xue Rengui led people to count the number of people left in Shancheng, Li Tai also began to let other people clean up Shancheng.

After all, many houses in Shancheng were destroyed because of the war. Now that I want to develop Shancheng, I have to take advantage of this opportunity to re-plan Shancheng.

After all, compared to the spontaneous development of Shancheng, it is better to plan everything from scratch.

The current Shancheng is the future Xining. Even if it is modern, the whole of Qinghai is worth developing in Xining.

And if China wants to control the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Shancheng must be completely in its own hands.

While his subordinates were cleaning up the ruins in Shancheng, Li Tai was thinking about the military map that Li Jing had left for him.

On the second day, I brought a few healers who went to find local medicinal materials in person, a guide who knew the local language, and my five hundred personal guards, and began to wander around Shancheng.

Crossing water, climbing mountains, if you meet local people, you will also rely on the guide's translation to chat with them to understand the local environment, especially what is the most common crop here.

To be honest, the Tuyuhun people came all the way from the Xianbei people. Although they are mainly engaged in animal husbandry, they still have a little farming ability, of course not strong, which is better than spreading a handful of seeds and relying on the sky for food.

But at least in Shancheng, there is still some cultivated land. I asked the old farmers and learned that the most common crop here is highland barley. Wheat is also grown, but not many people grow it because the taste is not very good.

Hearing this, Li Tai finally felt relieved, because it was enough for Xiaomai to survive here.

As for the bad taste of wheat, this is also a matter of course.

After all, wheat is not ground into powder and then processed. It is a strange thing to eat wheat rice with a good taste. For Li Tai, this can be solved through technology.

But this alone is not enough. Again, the Hehuang Valley developed in this way can be self-sufficient, but it is not enough to support the resources needed for the construction of Qinghai.

If all these resources depend on Chang'an, even if he needs to wait until he ascends the throne, he will be able to dispatch enough resources and support him regardless of the cost.

"It seems that there is no need to be in a hurry!" Li Tai's expression was serious, and he had some thoughts in his heart.

But if we really want to put it into practice, we still need the support of the local people. Now we must first determine the location of the Hehuang Valley!

Li Tai observed the terrain around the whole city of Shan, got a clear understanding of the water potential of the Huangshui River, and after learning about the local crops, he had a plan for the Hehuang Valley in his mind. Even if the plan was rough, it should be fine for hundreds of years.

The first is the weather, because the average temperature of the entire earth is rising, which makes the natural environment of Shancheng even better than that of Xining in modern society.

Needless to say, this accumulated temperature alone has allowed wheat to take root in Xining and even become a mainstream food.

Regarding the cultivation of wheat, the graduates from Li Tai Agricultural University, not to mention all of them are top-notch talents, but at least they have a fairly mature planting plan, and the most important thing is that they can immediately achieve an abundance of grain by applying it directly.

Otherwise, if this place can only grow highland barley, then I need at least two or three years of research before I can finally improve the farming plan and farming technology. If I want to develop this place, I am afraid that I will have to delay it. After all, there is no food, and any development is just a dream .

Therefore, sometimes the luck of the country really cannot stop it.

Because of the right time, China's technology can easily take root in the Hehuang Valley, and through technology, the local people can quickly integrate into China.

The second is the favorable location. This is the only way for Huada Tang to go to Tubo. At the same time, with the settlement of Tuyuhun and the recovery of the four counties in Hexi, the Silk Road in the Huaxia area has basically been smooth and helpless.

At least the road from Chang'an to Dunhuang has been completely opened. In the future, Wang Wei can also boldly say that he advises you to drink a glass of wine and go west to Yangguan without any old friends.

And the Hehuang Valley has the potential to become an important granary along the entire Silk Road, supporting the grain consumption of the Silk Road.

To be honest, it is unrealistic to think that the long commercial road of the Silk Road is just businessmen, without the support of farmers.

In fact, even in modern times, agriculture, the seemingly bleak primary industry, is still the most important foundation of the entire modern society.

As long as the job is not secure, the secondary industry and the tertiary industry are nothing but rootless grasshoppers.

Not to mention ancient times, why was the Silk Road seldom mentioned after the Tang Dynasty.

It's not that people don't want to reproduce the glory of the Silk Road. After all, those in power are stupid, and no one will copy the existing plans.

The real problem is that as the global climate cools, there is a serious shortage of water vapor along the entire Silk Road.

The cultivated land was buried, the oases disappeared, and the rivers and lakes were even more exhausted. There were no resting places on the Silk Road for tourists and business travelers to stay.

The disappearance of these small strongholds has made it difficult for small business travelers to move forward. Only those powerful and large business travelers, even those with a certain degree of national background, can cross the Silk Road.

But the reality is that any commercial route needs to be supported by small and micro enterprises. When these small and micro enterprises are lost, this commercial route is doomed to be abandoned.

The construction of the modern Belt and Road or the China-Jiji-Wuhan Railway, to a certain extent, relied on science and technology to forcibly solve the adverse effects of the weather, and re-opened this abandoned Silk Road.

It's just that the country didn't expect that this plan was put forward. As a result, the weather returned, the average temperature rose, and the water resources in these areas gradually became richer.

What Li Tai can do is to turn the Hehuang Valley into the granary of the Hexi Land.

It doesn't matter how much the granary itself earns, what is important is that relying on the granary can revitalize the surrounding area and obtain overall improvement.

Of course, to use a more vivid example, the Hehuang Valley can be regarded as Jiangxi. Its role is not to develop itself, but to support the overall development of the surrounding economic belt around Jiangxi.

The only difference is that Jiangxi sent people, while Hehuang Valley sent food.

The Hehuang Valley not only needs to support sufficient food for the four counties in Hexi, but also supports the fodder for the horses beside Qinghai Lake. This is basically the basic task of the entire Hehuang Valley for at least two to three hundred years in the future.

As for other developments, although Li Tai will make supplements in the future, this general direction can be determined.

That's exactly the case, a city must be built near Qinghai Lake as a barrier against Tubo, otherwise I will finally develop the Hehuang Valley, and then Tubo will come to fight the autumn wind if there is nothing to do, then who can stand it!
With the determination of this general direction, Li Tai naturally became clear about how to develop the land of Hehuang.

And soon, all those who were ordered by Li Tai to work also completed their tasks and returned to the Governor's Mansion.

There are Lu Anshou, Ren Yaxiang, Xue Rengui, Zu Changming, Tian Changgeng, and Yuan Tiangang...

"Why did Pindao come to this meeting? Pindao is just an ordinary Taoist priest!" Yuan Tiangang said a little puzzled.

"You know the weather, you can calculate Fengshui!" Li Tai glanced at Yuan Tiangang and said, "The most important thing is that you are good at mathematics, very good!"
