Infrastructure: I survive in troubled times

Chapter 488 Farming
"After the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao and Sun Quan fought at Ruxukou again." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with dark eyes and said, "From Wei Guo's point of view, Ruxukou is located in the north of the Yangtze River and south of the Huaihe River. The Jianghuai River Basin, and to defeat Sun Wu, it is necessary to completely control the Huaihe River Basin and compete for the initiative to enter the Yangtze River Basin. For Sun Wu, the Yangtze River Basin is the economic lifeline of the old Sun family. If a war continues here, it will definitely It caused great damage to the economic foundation of the Sun Wu regime, so the best war strategy is to resist the enemy in the Huaihe River Basin in the north of the Yangtze River, provide Wu with strategic depth, and avoid destroying the land in the south of the Yangtze River. The famous war strategy in history must defend the Huaihe River , It started from Lao Sun’s family in the Three Kingdoms era.”

"As the north-south dividing line juxtaposed with the Qinling Mountains, the northern part of the Huaihe River basin is connected with the Yellow River, and the southern part is connected with the Yangtze River. Therefore, both the Yellow River and the Yangtze River regimes regard the Huaihe River as a natural extension of the basin. Therefore, The Huaihe River Basin in the Qinling Mountains has not only become the geographical dividing line between the north and the south, but also the military and political dividing line between the north and the south." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with deep and honest eyes and said, "For the north, the precipitousness of the Qinling Mountains is not the best. Choose, so the Huaihe River has become a must-choice place and a must-have for military strategists." Looking at them who were ignorant, they said, "When I draw a map, you can clearly and intuitively see why guarding the river must guard the Huaihe River."

"The same is true for Tongguan. If Tongguan is lost, either the Guanzhong will be dangerous, or the Central Plains will not be safe to defend." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with dark eyes and said, "Living in this land, the geographical advantage naturally makes people have to have a holistic view. Strategic thinking."

"What if there is no such holistic thinking?" Li Shuangzhu asked curiously.

"No!" Hong Lianshuo raised the corners of his lips and smiled slightly, "It's simple, just wait for it to be destroyed."

This peaceful tone and bloodthirsty smile made one's scalp tingle!
"The land in the south is fertile, and there are two crops in one season." As soon as Hong Lianshuo finished speaking, he saw their eyes glowing green with hunger and thirst.

"One season, did you say something wrong, shouldn't it be two a year?" Chen Zhongyuan looked at her in surprise and said.

"Two acquaintances in one season." Hong Lianshuo said word by word, and his voice clearly reached everyone's ears.

"My boy! Is the land in the south so good?" Chen Zhongyuan said excitedly.

"What they cultivate is not wheat or sorghum, but rice, which produces white flowers." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with a smile and said.

"I have heard and seen rice, but I have never eaten it."

"I've never heard of it or seen it, is it delicious?"

"Delicious!" Hong Lianshuo nodded heavily with a smile.

"If there are two crops in one season, the output will increase, and we will all be full." Wu Changsheng said excitedly.

"That's for sure!" Chen Zhongyuan said naively with a smile.

Hong Lianshuo moved his mouth when he heard the words, and couldn't bear to discourage his good wishes.

"Two crops this season is nothing? This rice will be cropped three times this season." Hong Lianshuo announced while looking at them with a smile on his face.

"What?" They stood up excitedly one by one.

"Don't get excited, sit down, sit down." Hong Lianshuo pressed his hands down.

"True, false." They looked at Hong Lianshuo in disbelief and said.

"What did I lie to you for? Really." Hong Lianshuo smiled and nodded.

"But why? Why can they be planted? Can they mature if there is not enough time?" Jiang Shuisheng asked everyone's doubts, "Our sorghum can't bear sorghum before the time comes."

"Why is that?" Hong Lianshuo asked as he looked at them with black eyes flickering upon hearing the words.

"Isn't it because of the cold!" Li Shuangzhu said without thinking.

"The summer in the south is the same as ours, and the winter is warmer than ours." Hong Lianshuo said, looking at them with crooked eyebrows, "and in the land of one season and three crops, it is summer all year round."

"Ahem..." Startled coughing.

"My dear mother! If you can farm the land all year round, how much food can you grow!" Chen Zhongyuan rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "Finally, I won't be hungry anymore."

Farming is indeed engraved in the genes of Chinese people, and when it comes to mentioning it, green eyes are shining.

"The world is unified, and there is a shortage of food in the north, so we can transfer food from the south to the north." Jiang Shuisheng said excitedly with his face flushed.

Han Qinhu couldn't help but rolled his eyes, how could it be as easy as you said!
"General Han has a different opinion?" Jiang Shuisheng looked at Han Qinhu sharply and asked.

Why are the eyes so sharp?Han Qinhu had no choice but to say, "It's not a different opinion, but do you know how far it is from south to north?"

"No matter how far the road is, you can go there. This road is walked by people." Chen Zhongyuan looked at him firmly and said.

Han Qinhu shook his head helplessly when he heard the words and said, "It's not that I poured cold water on everyone's confidence, but it's thousands of miles from here to the Yangtze River." After a pause, he said, "What kind of official road is this? Think, see how bad the official road from here to the sea is, it can shake people's bones."

Lin Nanzheng glanced at them with his phoenix eyes and said, "The south was called the land of the southern barbarians in the Qin Dynasty. It was also in the past few hundred years. The frequent wars and plagues in the north forced people to flee everywhere. These people all fled to the south, the south Only when the climate is suitable can it develop slowly.”

"Isn't this also called a wild land?" Chen Zhongyuan said with a smile, "I'm doing well now."

"Building roads is not an easy task." Han Qinhu said while looking at them with a slight frown.

"I don't think it's difficult! The official road outside the city is well built." Jiang Shuisheng smiled foolishly, "It's flat and wide."

Han Qinhu looked at them naively, and said with a wry smile, "We only have a total of one hundred miles. The official road itself is flat." Pointing to the south side, "there are many mountains and water in the south, what should you do? "

"Let's make a detour!" Chen Zhongyuan said simply and relaxedly.

"The mountains in the south are not our West Mountains. The mountains in the south are all mountains, and the mountains are connected to the mountains." Han Qinhu shook his head and said, "I feel like I can't finish the circle in this life."

"Then future generations will follow." Chen Zhongyuan said without hesitation.

Han Qinhu lowered his eyes slightly, and really didn't want to talk to this childish guy, "Money is needed for road construction. It's not just a matter of breathing."

"Road construction is for the common people. If you go around so far, it will make it difficult for the common people to travel. This is not the original intention of road construction." Hong Lianshuo said while looking at them with warm eyes like jade.

Of course, Hong Lianshuo was very happy that their learning ability was beyond his imagination.

Han Qinhu heaved a long sigh of relief when he heard the words, he was really afraid that Mrs. Hong would go her own way.
