Chapter four hundred and fiftieth seven: Qianjin seeking seeds

Actually, after all.

This is not just the reason why the gentry's thoughts are deeply rooted.

But people have monopolized knowledge at all.

Ordinary people are now bandits, and they can’t even eat authentic food. They are lingering on the verge of life and death every day. What insights can you expect them to have and how to write?

If scholars and gentry were abandoned, the Ming Dynasty would collapse.

Emperor Tianqi immediately said, "So, your military academy must be done quickly. The better the one, the more confident I will be."

Zhang Jing said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I am now all over my mind."

Emperor Aoki immediately said, "This is so good."

As he said that, Emperor Tianqi remembered something and said again: "There is another thing, that is, the generals of Liaodong who colluded with profiteers, I have been thinking about how to deal with it. Should I do everything now, or do it one by one."

Zhang Jing smiled and said mysteriously: "What about Your Majesty's thoughts?"

"If we do it together, I am afraid that a large number of troops and horses will join Jiannu in Liaodong. Jiannu's military front will reach Shanhaiguan." Emperor Tianqi said: "But if it is delayed, how can I tolerate these people being so bold and reckless?"

Zhang Jing thought for a while and said, "Have your Majesty ever thought about how my Ming Dynasty can eliminate the border troubles in the north?"

Emperor Aoki looked surprised: "This..."

Zhang Jingyi said: "Now it is not just the problem of the generals of Liaodong, but the continuous expansion of the Jiannu people. Even if the Ming Dynasty defeated the Jiannu people, what about the future? There will always be Xianbei, Mongolia, and Khitan in the future... As long as my Ming Dynasty is outside the pass and does not occupy a foothold for a day, then my Ming Dynasty will always be affected by this infinite attack. What's more, the desert and Liaodong have vast land, but my Ming Dynasty... Now, because of the pancakes of the land, countless people have lost their fields and refugees are everywhere. So I think that the problem of the generals of Liaodong needs to be solved. But what is really necessary is how to consolidate the problem in the north. I heard that... the Baishan and black water where Jiannu used to be, and the land in the north of the desert are covered with heavy snow all year round, but there are countless minerals and countless forests. If my Ming Dynasty can truly go deep into these places, it may not be impossible to resettle the people of the world."

Emperor Tianqi thought to himself that I am here to talk to you about the issues of the generals in Liaodong, and you actually came to paint a big cake for me.

Isn’t this a dream to solve the border problems in the north once and for all?

Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, there has never been a Central Plains dynasty that can solve this problem.

Emperor Apocalypse said: "Is that so? Then do you think, how can it be solved?"

"My Ming people don't know anything else, but they are the best at farming. The problem is that most of the land outside the pass cannot be cultivated, especially over the years, the weather has been cold all year round. Even Liaodong is now called a barren land."

This is the truth. Liaodong is not the Northeast of later generations. Now, because of the Little Ice Age, the weather is cold, and Liaodong is full of muddy and rotten land and frozen soil. This is why the situation in the entire Liaodong began to decay and the Jiannu people continued to expand.

Of course, it is not that the land in Liaodong cannot be cultivated. Under the current technical conditions, the cost of farming is not only very high, but also if you encounter some disasters, you may not be able to harvest. If you ask a farmer to plant grain, and then tell him that if you work hard for a year, you will have 60% or 70% of the chances of harvesting. People are afraid that they will roll up the plaque and run away.

Because within three years, the whole family will starve to death. Wouldn’t it be a refugee?

Emperor Tianqi said: "Mobei and Liaodong can only be grazed...that place..."

Zhang Jing shook her head: "But what if we can grow grain?"

"You're talking about sweet potatoes?"

"The sweet potato is not yet done." Zhang Jingyi said: "On the one hand, it is difficult to store, and the weather in Mobei and Liaodong is getting worse and worse, so it may not be affected by disasters. So... this sweet potato can be used as an auxiliary, but not as a staple food. It would be great if wheat could be planted in the ice and snow. If it could be planted, we can plant grain to the extreme north, and the place where wheat is planted will be the land of my Ming Dynasty."

After hearing this, Emperor Tianqi couldn't help laughing: "Haha, wheat can be grown in the snow and ice, Zhang Qing, I...I..."

Speaking of this, Emperor Aoki stuttered.

His body trembled and seemed very excited.

If wheat could be planted in the snow and ice... this Central Plains dynasty would probably sweep the desert a hundred times.

Unifying the desert, or even the extreme north, is something that so-called saints dare not even think about.

"Zhang Qing... If this is true, I will be the First Emperor. You are afraid you can be Li Si."

When he heard it was Li Si, Zhang Jingyi felt a little cold.

But Emperor Apocalypse was really excited: "Why, is there really such a thing in this world?"

"I'm not sure." Zhang Jing said, "But I want to give it a try."

Emperor Tianqi looked at Zhang Jingyi with a strange look.

But he trusted Zhang Jingyi and had almost no doubts: "What do you need?"

"There must be a piece of land in Liaodong."

"You are the Duke of Liao. I will give you the Yizhou Guards and let you try it." Emperor Tianqi said without hesitation: "What else do you need?"

Zhang Jingyi said: "There are no other things, but there is nothing else."

Emperor Tianqi seemed very serious: "Does human resources need it? I have no skills in my clones. Otherwise, let my brother help you. Although King Xin is a little stupid, he is easy to be fooled by others. For example, now, he is always thinking about your military academy textbooks. Every day, he can memorize it from morning to night, and I heard that he can recite it backwards. Otherwise, you will just use it?"

Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but smile bitterly.

In fact, Emperor Aoki's attitude is very clear.

Although I don't know if this thing can be planted.

However, once you succeed, it will be terrible. It can directly change the pattern of the world and fulfill the dream of the Central Plains dynasty for thousands of years.

Zhang Jing thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty... If you believe that the king is really doing nothing, then you can help me."

"Okay." Emperor Tianqi said: "I will send someone in a few days."

His attitude was self-evident. King Xin was his blood relative. Sending him over and serving Zhang Jingyi as a helper was enough to prove the emperor's importance to this. Even if the hope for success was slim, I would do my best.

Although great power may not necessarily lead to miracles.

But the attitude is still necessary.

When Emperor Tianqi returned to the palace, he sat in the car but was stunned.

Huh?

What did I talk about?

Isn’t it a question to ask the generals of Liaodong?

…………

Zhang Jing bid farewell to Emperor Tianqi, but she was very sad.

He immediately cheered up.

With Yizhou Guard, you can really give it a try.

He really wanted to give it a try when planting wheat in this ice and snow, at least the time was ripe.

As early as a year ago, Zhang Jingyi went to the far north and asked someone to look for the Naros people.

But the Ross people have something that is more important to Zhang Jingyi than tens of millions of silver... rye.

Rye is different from other wheats. Generally speaking, wheat is a relatively delicate grain.

But rye is simply perverted because it can survive in an environment of minus thirty-five degrees.

This means that even in Siberia, food can be grown.

In fact, although rye is unknown in history, it actually exists in cold areas such as Russia and Norway and Sweden.

The Ross were able to browse through the Ural Mountains, heading eastward and deep into Siberia, and finally took the entire Siberia into its pocket. Although the military strength of the Ross people and the most important thing was the rye that people neglected. As the main production area of ​​rye, the Ross people could not only go deep into Siberia, but also grow food in Siberia.

Otherwise, in that icy Siberia, thousands of kilometers away from the control area of ​​the Ross people, the Ross people continued to advance eastward. In that era when there was no railway, if they really had to transport food supplies from the rear, with the financial resources of the Ross people, they would have gone bankrupt a hundred times long ago.

After Zhang Jing asked someone to buy this magical rye, he hoped to be the first to be tested in the Liaodong area. Once the planting was successful, it means that the Little Ice Age had changed from a disadvantage to an advantage for the Ming Dynasty.

Not only Liaodong and the desert, but also the far north can allow the Han people to survive and explore.

At this time, Zhang Jingyi had recruited several Rose people. In addition, there were also a group of farmers trained by the Zhang family. The New Year was about to be celebrated. Before the spring of next year, the seeds of rye must be planted.

As for King Xin... it doesn't matter if he thinks it's here.

…………

A few days later.

Guangqumen.

Suddenly, a team of students from open fire-riding teaching teams came on horseback.

As soon as the students of this teaching team appeared, they took over the city gate directly.

The city gate's garrison is new, because the previous garrison had already been in chaos and directly chopped off his head.

Therefore, when the new guard saw that it was amazing, this was the man of the Duke of Liao.

Immediately afterwards, the continuous chariots and horses began to appear.

These countless big cars left a deep wheel mark on the road.

The vast convoy has no end.

The tired coachmen were driving the carriage and horses.

In front of them was a team of cavalry coming directly. The guards along the way were particularly nervous. Even when they rode on horseback, they pressed the hilt of their waists at any time, fearing that someone would not open their eyes and rushed to the robbery.

When the guard saw this, he was frightened and hurriedly found a student who entered the city and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's not your business, I'll go there. I'll wait for the office and ask your soldiers to take back fifty steps. We'll take over the city tower for the time being."

The guard had never seen such an arrogant person, so he laughed dryly, but he nodded as if he was clamping his tail, but he was a little worried. After all, his duty was to defend the city. If the boss blamed him, who would be the one who would be?

So although he ordered the soldiers to retreat, he still stayed at the door opening.

At this time, someone from the back team rode a horse and pointed at him with a whip and said, "Who is this? Didn't you say that irrelevant people should not get close to within thirty steps?"

So, a student immediately said, "Deng Qianhu, this person is the guardian of Guangqumen..."

"No matter whether he is guarding or not, everyone is suspected of being a thief in this family and a thousand miles away. If there is any mistake in the gold and silver of this car, who can afford to be guilty?"
