But I didn't expect that there would be a misunderstanding, and I would beat you up first, I'm afraid the third brother would be embarrassed to raise hands with you again. "

Sanhu said in embarrassment: "What are you talking about, fourth? Is your third brother the kind of reckless man who only knows how to fight and kill? This is not just arranging wine to persuade people.

If this can’t be done, your sister-in-law will be forgiven if you go back, since the day she heard that the scalper is coming back, she has told me every day.”

"It's all the same, your siblings treated me the same way." Four Tigers and Five Tigers echoed.

The scalper looked at the hard-working appearance of these three brothers, and instantly felt the depression in his chest and abdomen swept away. He was very curious about the existence of these wives. A group of rough men who were born as bandits could subdue ?

"By the way, didn't you tell my sister-in-law to pick up my little one? Are you here?

By the way, don't let me come. I have a bruised nose and a swollen face. How can I see people? It's just a matter of worrying my wife and children. "The scalper suddenly remembered.

Sanhu: Brother, you are thinking too much, we just deceived you to drink

Chapter 573 Fang Xuanling's Plan (Two in One)

Du Shaoqing, who had been taking care of the chamber of commerce with all his heart, was called into the palace that day. He thought it was the leaders of the new gang of barbarians causing demons again, but he didn't expect to see a lively scene when he came to the Yizheng Hall.

Emperor Li Er led a large group of confidants, pointing at a map and discussing something, and beside him was an abacus calculating data with an abacus.

"Your Majesty, the son-in-law has arrived." The servant Gao reminded in a low voice.

Everyone stopped and turned to look at Du Shaoqing, Li Er greeted with a smile: "Come on, hurry up and help, we are discussing where to build the city, the calculator of the Ministry of Industry is too busy, so I will send someone I have invited you, the math masters."

Built the city?What city to build?Du Shaoqing was puzzled.

Wei Zheng explained: "It's the issue of building a city in the Northeast. The Tang Dynasty took over the entire Northeast territory at once, but most of the Hu people lived scattered there, and it was very difficult to manage. After the land was conquered, they could not subdue and educate the people. Everyone has a headache.

Fang Xiang proposed to build a city to bring together the common people, and to centralize management and enlightenment, which might be able to eradicate the trouble once and for all. "

Du Shaoqing turned his head to look at Fang Xuanling, and the prime minister said modestly: "The construction and governance of the city is not the old man's first idea, and all dynasties have had this idea, but the cost of building the city is too high and it takes too long, and various reasons have not been fully successful.

This led to the Central Plains' strategy against the Hu people in the north, like mowing grass, one crop after another, and the Hu people in the north have been suffering for thousands of years, but they have never stopped.

My Tang Dynasty is different. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, there were only 50 plants, and it became stronger and stronger. Therefore, it is hoped that it will take [-] to [-] years, with the efforts of two and three generations, to build cities and educate the people on the northern grasslands.

Once it is established at that time, not only will the repeated hidden dangers of the northern land be solved, but even the entire northern land can become a solid national power of our Tang Dynasty. "

Du Shaoqing nodded in agreement, secretly thinking that the prime minister was so generous, that the Emperor Qin was powerless back then, so he had to build the Great Wall to protect the country, and now Datang wants to take this unworldly feat in one fell swoop, which shows the courage of the monarchs and ministers present.

Li Er said: "Let's gossip, this is the population brochure reported by the leaders of various ministries in the north. We will choose a suitable place to build a big city according to the population resources and the local Fengshui map.

At present, the site selection of ten large cities has been determined in the land of the three tribes in the north. You come to calculate how many people a city can cover according to the capacity of each city, the strength of the guarding troops, etc. If it is insufficient, whether it is necessary Considering increasing the surrounding Acropolis? "

Large area planning is a huge project, how does Du Shaoqing understand this?The so-called art industry has specialization, and such careers are led by capable people who have a deep understanding of the law of seeking the country.

The most capable person in the Tang Dynasty is in this political hall. Du Shaoqing did not show off at this time, but concentrated on being a junior who studied hard. factors and so on.

Including population, resources, survival advantages, geography, time factors, and development in the next few decades, etc., all must be taken into consideration.

According to the calculation method put forward by everyone, the crackling sound of the abacus in Du Shaoqing's hands never stopped, until two hours later, Du Shaoqing, who was sweating profusely, finally finished calculating a big city.

At this time, he was already sweating profusely, and his face was even a little pale. It can be seen that this project took a lot of effort. Most of the calculators in the Ministry of Industry were elderly people. At this time, their physical strength was no match for a young man like Du Shaoqing.

Originally, this budget project would take several days or even months to study slowly, but Li Er was impatient and wanted to know the outline as soon as possible. His mentality was as if he wanted to use all the future wealth in his own generation. It's like doing all the work in one go.

Du Shaoqing breathed a sigh of relief, and Fang Xuanling patted him on the shoulder to comfort him: "Nephew, you have worked hard, I am afraid that you are the only one in the world who can complete the calculation in just two hours. Old bones are absolutely not acceptable."

The old waiter came over with a tray and said, "My son-in-law, you are exhausted. Food and ginseng soup have been prepared for you, hurry up and eat something."

But Du Shaoqing didn't respond, instead he stared blankly at the calculation result in his hand.

Everyone was paying attention to him, and they were puzzled to see him so weird.

Fang Xuanling's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly thought that this Concubine Du always likes to win by surprise and has a very unique vision. Could it be that there is an omission in my plan?

Li Er urged: "Boy, I called you to eat. We have all eaten. You were concentrating on your calculations just now, so you didn't want to interrupt you. Come and eat something first."

Du Shaoqing came back to his senses, looked at Fang Xuanling with weird eyes, then showed a forced smile, handed the calculation result to the other party, and was about to turn around and eat.

Fang Xuanling took the result but didn't look at it. Instead, he stretched out his hand to hold Du Shaoqing, "Nephew, seeing that you are hesitant to speak, maybe you can see something is wrong. You don't need to hide it here. , your uncle and I are not so stingy.

This is an official business for the country, and we should speak freely. There is a saying that one person counts the short and the other two count the long. If you can find the loopholes and help make up for it, it is too late to thank you for my uncle, and it will also prevent future generations from suffering because of our temporary planning omissions. . "

After listening to Fang Xuanling's words, Du Shaoqing respectfully straightened his clothes and respectfully saluted Fang Xuanling: "Uncle Fang is open-minded, my nephew admires him!

I dare not say that I found a loophole, but I am actually a little worried. "

"Oh? Tell me quickly, your vision has always been superhuman, and it must be unusual for you to worry." Fang Xuanling urged.

Du Shaoqing nodded and was about to speak, but suddenly felt dark in front of his eyes, almost fell down, and was hugged by Fang Xuanling.

"Prince doctor, quick pass." Before Li Er finished shouting, Du Shaoqing came to his senses, "No, I'm so hungry, just let me eat something."

"Quick, eat, get the food!"

Everyone laughed loudly, it was really not easy to starve the richest man in the Tang Dynasty into a daze.

Let Lao Gao put the things directly on the ground next to the hanging map, and Du Shaoqing just sat on the ground without any image and started to eat.

After a while, his complexion recovered a bit, and he looked back at the crowd. Du Shaoqing was too embarrassed to eat directly for others to watch, so he asked Lao Gao to take a stick for fingering, and just sat on the ground and pointed at the map to start eating while talking.

"According to the current plan, let the land of barbarians in the Northeast follow the strategy of building a city in the Central Plains, build a city to gather people, develop trade, and develop farming.

Although considering the winter climate in the Northeast for half a year, it is still not enough. After all, changing from grazing to farming is not a simple process of teaching people to farm in a short period of time. Geographically, grassland wasteland becomes cultivated land Fertile land also takes time to develop and transform.

And this transformation process, there are too many uncertain factors, this is not the most important. "

When Du Shaoqing spoke eloquently, many people listened and nodded in agreement. Fang Xuanling said in surprise: "I have considered all these. It takes about three years to open up wasteland and work hard to change from wasteland to arable land, and it will not exceed five years at most. As long as you survive the first few years, it will be easy to handle later.

This model has been fully formed in the Central Plains. Although it is mostly cold in the Northeast, it is not a problem to plant a season a year and use the kang you invented when it is cold, so that people can get rid of nomadism and settle down.

After all, they are nomads just to survive, and they can live in a happy land with no worries about food and clothing, and no one wants to be displaced. "

Although Du Shaoqing nodded in agreement with this point of view, he still had his own opinion, "My worry is that such a large-scale land reclamation and cultivation, turning the grassland into arable land, will have an impact on the animal husbandry in the Central Plains. After all, the animal power in the Central Plains is still there. It is in short supply and needs to be transported in large quantities from the north.

The second is to reclaim wasteland in this way. Excessive reclaiming will cause land desertification in the next few decades or hundreds of years.”

"Desertification? What is land desertification?" Huge question marks appeared on the heads of everyone. What kind of vocabulary is this?Is it in ancient books?who knows?

Seeing everyone's doubts, Du Shaoqing explained: "Simply put, after hundreds of years, the local land will gradually turn into desert due to farming, which is the situation in the few places in the Western Regions where the ground is full of yellow sand."

ps: The Western Regions were very prosperous during the Tang Dynasty, unlike the giant deserts of later generations, otherwise it would not have been possible to reproduce the Ming Dynasty of the 36 countries in the Western Regions. In terms of geography at that time, the local deserts were still small.

"That's impossible, I can't agree with your statement.

First, no one knows what will happen a hundred years from now. Second, even if it is a prediction, the Central Plains has been cultivated by our ancestors for thousands of years, and we have never seen it turn into a desert, so your statement is wrong! "Wei Zheng stood up and retorted with reason.
