Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Don't be too concerned about this hundred acres. You must know that in the Central Plains, Shangtian is the object of everyone's desire, even in many densely populated places, let alone Shangtian and Zhongtian.

Even Shimoda is not enough to allocate.

Let's take a look at Zhao Kuo on the Northeast Plain, starting with [-] acres, this gap...

It's not over yet.

If there are a couple and five children, there are seven people in total. If one person counts as one thousand mu of land, they can get seven thousand mu of land!

Moreover, all the land in the Northeast Plain is the best field, that is to say, every family comes here to get [-] mu of land as a base...

Five thousand mu is just a guarantee, as long as the family can have more children, the more land they will get.

This is why Lu Buwei and other Han officials were so surprised, because Zhao Kuo's generosity in this regard is really amazing.

Zhao Kuo looked at the surprised Lu Buwei, and laughed too: "Fields? For me, fields are not a problem. Now I think the real problem is that so many fields are placed in

Here, but no one is farming!

Five thousand acres, this is a reward for the brave, I think it's worth it.If you want to come here to be officials, I can give you more land, not to mention ten thousand mu and twenty thousand

Mu, I can give even [-] mu! "

After listening to Zhao Kuo's words, everyone felt a little relieved.

Indeed, if no one comes to cultivate, the land will have no output, and no tax will be handed over to the country if there is no output, and it will be useless to the country.

deadly.

Instead of this, it is better to directly and generously give this map to the common people who are willing to come, and let them cultivate the land.

Only when a large number of people come here can real resources and value be generated here.

Even some officials are already a little moved.

Frankly speaking, as officials who can accompany His Majesty Zhao Kuo, their future is of course very bright.

cold north.

However, officials also have family members, and many officials are also big figures such as family patriarchs.

Many of their family members are also officials, and these family members may not be promising. If some unpromising clansmen and family members come here, on the one hand, they can also be officials.

Officials, on the other hand, they can get a lot of fertile land for the family, no matter how you think about it, it is not a loss.

Thoughts were spinning in everyone's minds, and there was a moment of silence.

Zhao Kuo looked at the quiet officials and smiled.

In the final analysis, what can really move people's hearts in this world is profit.

Originally, this Northeast Plain was all the territory of Emperor Zhao Kuo, and the other subjects had no interests here.

But now, Zhao Kuo has generously used this piece of land as a benefit and gave it up to officials and people.

Interested?Someone will definitely be tempted.

You know, the Central Plains has been unified for several years. During these few years, due to the long-lost peace, the population of the Central Plains has grown explosively.

Five years ago, the population of the Han Kingdom was about 4000 million, and the number of newborns was about 100 million.

What about this year?The population of the Han Kingdom is about 6000 million, and the number of newborns has reached more than 400 million!

You must know that in the past five years, most of the more than 2000 million people were newly conquered by the Han Kingdom, but the newborn population has quadrupled, which is

very amazing.

If this speed continues, even if the Great Han Kingdom stops expanding abroad now, the population of the Great Han Kingdom will easily exceed 20 million in at most ten to [-] years

Mark.

For later generations of Huaxia, a population of [-] million is actually not too much, but in this era, [-] million is definitely an astonishing number.

According to an estimate that Zhao Kuo had seen on a certain website before, the year Jesus Christ was born, the population of the earth should be around 5000 million to [-] million.

The era in which Zhao Kuo lived was more than 200 years earlier than Jesus!

In other words, if the population of the Han Kingdom exceeds 66 million, then the population of the entire Han Kingdom is equivalent to [-]% of the world's population, or even more!

This means that 3 out of every 2 people in the world are citizens of the Han Kingdom. Just ask if you are a cow?

A very serious problem brought about by so many newborns is that more food is needed.

Where does food come from?

The easiest way to think of it is to improve technology, obtain better food seeds, and use more advanced agricultural tools. The Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Agriculture have been vigorously promoting this.

But the problem is that whether it is technology or seed cultivation, these all take time, and time alone may not necessarily lead to breakthroughs.

Therefore, another method that Zhao Kuo thought of is also very simple, that is-to expand the area of ​​cultivated land.

many people?No problem, as long as my arable land continues to increase, then it will definitely ensure that these extra people have food to eat, isn't it?

Anyway, the current commercial system of my country is very developed. When the time comes, there will be a lot of rice in the Northeast, and there will naturally be merchants who will sell the rice to the Central Plains.

, This is the most basic law of commerce, which is to transfer materials from the place of production to the place of consumption.

The Northeast Plain is a treasure land, but the tentacles of the Huaxia people have not actually extended to here.

Apart from the climate, another very important reason is because of the alien races in the north.

But now, all the alien races in the north have been conquered by Zhao Kuo, as for the climate...

Now in the grasslands of Mobei, Zhao Kuo knew that a large number of businessmen were raising sheep.

These sheep are not local sheep from China, but are said to come from the West, whether it is Central Asia or West Asia, and may even be sheep from Europe.

Why are these sheep raised?

Shearing!

Wool sweater, that is a very important warm clothing.

By the way, there is another kind of warm clothing that is worth mentioning, and that is cotton.

Cotton is actually not the place of origin in China, it was introduced from Central Asia through the Western Regions.

Coincidentally, Central Asia and the Western Regions are now the territory of the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, the cotton production in Dahan Kingdom has also been growing crazily in recent years.

Cotton is a relatively cheap clothing to keep out the cold. Together with woolen sweaters, the common people of the Han Kingdom have enough clothing to wear clothes that are truly

Survive in the ice and snow in the sense.

Humans are extremely tenacious creatures, as long as they can survive, they can definitely take root here from generation to generation!

After Zhao Kuo finished thinking about it, he let out a sigh of relief, and then looked at the black land in front of him, and had a different idea.

In Zhao Kuo's view, this place is no longer a desolate black land. Zhao Kuo seems to be able to see that after a few years, houses will appear here, and countless hardworking figures will appear here.

Farm here, children run here, and the people of Han Kingdom live and work in peace and contentment here.

Zhao Kuo laughed: "That's really wonderful."

Lu Buwei was stunned for a moment, although he couldn't understand what Zhao Kuo said, he quickly agreed: "Your Majesty is right, it is indeed very beautiful."

Zhao Kuo glanced at Lu Buwei and laughed loudly: "Lu Buwei, you, I have to say, sometimes it's really interesting! Well, let's do your thing."

The next day, a decree set out from here, and headed towards the imperial capital in the south at high speed.

The intention was to go south, but Zhao Kuo had no intention of going south.

For Zhao Kuo, after the northern tour this time, he doesn't know when he will come back next time.

Now that you are here, you have to go until you can't move anymore.

Zhao Kuo, I want to visit Heilongjiang!

So, in the next month, Zhao Kuo's army went all the way north, directly passing through the canyon between the Changbai Mountains and the Xiaoxing'an Mountains, and came to the Sanjiang Plain.

Here, you can see that the Heilongjiang River, Songhua River and Nenjiang River meet together and then flow towards the northeast.

Looking at the three big rivers in front of him, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief and spoke slowly.

"My northern tour this time will come to an end."

After hearing Zhao Kuo's words, Lu Buwei and a large group of accompanying officials couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

You must know that this road going north is no man's land. The quality of life can be said to be very poor. It is definitely a hard job. Now I heard that I can start to return, of course.

Very happy.

Zhao Kuo smiled, and continued: "However, this will not be the frontier of the Han Kingdom. I believe that my people will cross Heilongjiang in the future to conquer the northernmost

Let the glory of our Great Han Kingdom expand to every corner of the world. "

I have come here, and of course I can't come in vain.

So, Zhao Kuo asked people to build a simple high platform here, and set up a stone tablet on the high platform.

The inscription is very simple.

"Emperor Zhao Kuo of the Great Han Kingdom ordered: Within ten thousand miles to the north, all of this land is the territory of the Great Han!"

Zhao Kuo doesn't know what the Han Dynasty will be like in the future, but at least for now, Zhao Kuo has to leave a "since ancient" evidence for his descendants!

After finishing all this, Zhao Kuo issued an order.

"Return to the South!"

Chapter 1264 An Accident on the Grassland

At the time of departure, the weather was summer and when we returned, although more than two months had passed, it was still summer.

From a normal point of view, summer should be very sweltering, but obviously considering the latitude factor, Zhao Kuo and his group started to travel south from Sanjiangkou.

Yes, it doesn't feel that hot.

Since this place is indeed too far north, Zhao Kuo even had the illusion that autumn has already entered.

To some extent, this is actually a good thing. After all, summer, like winter, is a very difficult season.

Even if Zhao Kuo wanted to return to the south, he didn't mean to follow the original route again, because that would obviously be very boring to Zhao Kuo.

It's rare to come out for a walk, how could it be possible to just go back and forth like this.

So Zhao Kuo issued an order.

"Let's go all the way west from here to cross the Daxing'an Mountains and go to the Hulun Buir Grassland to have a look."

Of course, the grassland of this era is not called Hulunbuir Grassland, but since Zhao Kuo has called him Hulunbuir Grassland, his name will be Hulunbuir Grassland from now on

It's gone.

It may sound like a mouthful, but to explain it very simply, it is actually the emperor's right.

Crossing the Greater Khingan Mountains is actually quite difficult if you are just a person, because you have to know that in this sparsely populated place, there are animals everywhere.

Wild wolves and leopards are all pediatrics, and the most amazing thing is the Siberian tiger that is active in this area.

An adult Siberian tiger weighs several hundred catties, and a single slap can kill a strong adult man.

From this point of view, the story of Wu Song fighting a tiger is somewhat untenable now. Of course, this does not mean that it cannot be explained. After all, Wu Song should be in the mountain

In the east, there may not be a tiger species as big as the Siberian tiger.

Surrounded by [-] Musketeers, Zhao Kuo naturally crossed the mountain range very smoothly and entered the Hulun Buir Grassland.

After coming here, you can see that there are actually a group of nomadic tribes on the grassland here, because this is the grassland designated when Zhao Kuo conquered the Huns before.

From a geographical point of view, the Hulunbuir Grassland should actually belong to Mobei, but if you look carefully, it happens to be connected to the Monan Grassland, so its position

The placement is more subtle.

As long as this place can be controlled, it can be said that it is easy to attack Mobei or Monan.

As His Majesty the Emperor, Zhao Kuo was naturally warmly welcomed by these local tribes after his arrival. After all, from a legal point of view, these guys are indeed all

The big Han people who don't buckle.

Yes, the meaning of the term Dahan has already been greatly expanded. It does not mean that only the Chinese in the Central Plains can be regarded as Han people.

In itself, these guys who had been annexed into the Zhao Kingdom long before the establishment of the Han Kingdom were actually relatively senior Han people.

To Zhao Kuo's surprise, the elegant words spoken by these leaders were actually quite fluent.
