People are in the Tang Dynasty, creating a mythical dynasty

The sound of whistling and drinking echoed in the eardrums.

In the dust.

One after another figure is busy in the rapid.

The first year of Zhenguan passed in this kind of busyness.

For Datang, the first year of Zhenguan was undoubtedly a turbulent and stable year.

With Li Ming's presence, the original turmoil disappeared without a trace.

At the same time, Datang's national power is steadily growing.

Compared with Datang in the original trajectory, the development of Datang in this era is even better.

Among the folks, the production and life of the people has gradually recovered.

Chickens and ducks are popular throughout Guanzhong, and pig farming is also slowly rising.

The acquisition of locusts and imperata has increased the disposable income and food in the hands of the common people.

Even if you don't do anything, the national power of Datang can be improved rapidly in this way, and it is not impossible to enter the prosperous age of Datang earlier than in history.

After all, even the most fundamental food problem has been solved at this moment.

The high yield of potatoes is enough to make any worries do not exist.

High-yield crops with a yield of 2000 jin per mu, not to mention the current population of [-] million, even if the population is ten times larger, it is enough to support it.

It can be said that from the ninth year of Wude to the second year of Zhenguan, the things Li Ming signed almost solved most of the people's livelihood problems in Datang, and the next thing is the harvest problem.

In fact it is.

When the time entered the second year of Zhenguan.

The improvement of national power is almost visible to the naked eye.

You must know that you have entered the second year of Zhenguan.

It's not just Li Ming's improvement.

Li Shimin also started to act.

In April of the second year of Zhenguan, the Khitan chief led his troops to Tang. The teacher refused.Li Shimin dispatched Shi Liufu, governor of Xiazhou, and Sima Liu Lancheng to try to make Liang Shidu surrender.

Shidu was first defeated by Liu Lancheng; the Turks came to the rescue, but were defeated by Chai Shao again, and immediately entered Shuofang.When the food in the city was exhausted, Liang Luoren, the cousin of Shidu, killed Shidu and descended to Tang Dynasty with Shuofang.Tang Yi Shuofang set up Xiazhou, and since then Datang has completely stabilized the territory of Kyushu.

And the country's strength has also increased rapidly since then.

When the time entered the September month of Zhenguan.

The national power also directly approached more than [-], and the infinite began to approach [-].

For the rest, it may not take two months for the national power to officially reach [-] and step into the second level.

Li Ming couldn't help but look forward to this.

It has been almost two years, and the national strength has been ups and downs, and finally it is close to one thousand.

Compared with the originally expected upgrade speed, it is undoubtedly much slower in fact.

After all, national power is not static, nor does it only increase. Any behavior can lead to the improvement of national power, and it can also lead to the increase of national power.

Although the locusts have been dealt with, the hazards of the locusts also exist, and the national strength is still damaged. Some of the methods Li Ming and Li Ming use to improve the national strength are long-term effects, not short-term effects. Under normal circumstances, it will naturally be much slower.

However, this improvement is continuous.

And the longer the time, the more terrifying the promotion.

Once the previous policy starts to have an impact, the promotion will enter into rapid progress.

This is just the beginning.

It won't be the end.

It can be predicted that the national power of the Tang Dynasty will increase rapidly in the future.

Secondary.

level three.

Maybe go higher.

In the morning when the morning sun shines.

Li Ming's figure slowly walked out of the palace, and his eyes looked into the distance.

The August sky in Chang'an still has some scorching lingering sounds.

And tomorrow is the day when the reservoir will be completed.

As the chief designer of the reservoir, Li Ming naturally had to attend in person.

"go!"

The words opened, and then he turned over and stepped onto the horse.

The same goes for the attendants behind him.

The crowd rode away immediately.

Naturally, you can't run fast in the city.

But after leaving Chang'an City, the horses headed towards the target quickly.

The sound of galloping horses roared in my ears.

Outside of Chang'an, there is already more than one road.

Large-scale construction has already begun.

When the time entered the second year of Zhenguan, Qin Huaidao and Cheng Chuliang recruited more than [-] laborers again.

In addition to building reservoirs, these people are all in the middle of road construction.

Not only has the road from Chang'an to Luoyang been repaired, but the roads near Chang'an have gradually turned into concrete roads.

The price is that the original potato has begun to serve as the staple food of laborers.

Ten months have passed.

Potatoes have completed their third rotation.

The first rotation of ten catties of potatoes yielded 510 catties, the second time I went to the south, planted in October, and harvested at the end of March, 510 catties gained 150 catties, and returned to the north again for the third time, [-] catties Catty of potatoes, this time with pig manure retting, its yield is higher, and [-] million catties of potatoes were obtained (my family sells potato seeds, potatoes are generally imported from the northeast, and potatoes must be planted in rotation).

At this moment, it can be said that the food has been completely dealt with.

150 million catties of potatoes are enough to feed more than [-] people for a year.

And the fourth round of planting has already started. If there is no accident, the harvest this time will be even greater.

I believe that when the fourth round of planting is completed, the problem of food will no longer be a problem.

After all, the third round of grain has reached 150 million catties.

Even if the fourth round is only 100 times 500 million catties, it is still [-] million catties of potatoes, and the base has been completely raised.

All that is needed next is diffusion.

And that's not a problem.

I believe that my cheap dad can handle it perfectly by then.

Chapter 84 Daomen, Heaven, Terran

The horses galloped.

Soon came to the reservoir.

It was originally a pass in front of two valleys.

The water rushes through the valley and then flows some distance into the Wei River.

But now, in front of the two peaks, a huge building stands up.

It is nearly [-] meters high above the water.

The huge existence is like a natural moat directly blocking it.

The gates are made of boulders.

Through pulleys, the boulder can be raised or lowered directly.

When it rises, the water flow will be the same as usual, but when it is lowered, the water flow can be almost completely blocked, and the water flow that can flow out becomes extremely limited.

Once the flood comes, completely prevent the outbreak of the flood.

The wall of hundreds of meters, coupled with the obstacles of the surrounding giant peaks, is almost impossible to cross the natural moat.

When Li Ming arrived.

The reservoir is completing its final tests.

The huge gate fell.

in the roar.

The water flow below was instantly cut off.

"Your Highness, we have completed preliminary tests, and its strength is strong enough to support."

"In addition, even if the water flow rises another ten or twenty feet, it should be enough to deal with it."

A Ministry of Industry official's face was flushed, and his words were extremely excited.

He didn't expect that the strength of steel plus that strange material would be so high, which is not bad compared to some top-grade triads.

But it is almost unimaginable to know the time and cost required for the top-grade triad.

But the cost of the buildings here is not high.

The biggest expense is nothing but steel.

In the past, such a building would have been considered a sky-high price. After all, steel was extremely scarce, but now that Shaofu has large-scale steelmaking, the price of steel has long been lower than before. In this way, the cost will undoubtedly be much lower .

And this can work.

Certainly not just Bahe.

Wei River.

Even the Yellow River and the Yangtze River.

And all the rivers in the world seem to be able to carry on.

Maybe once it is done, there will be no more floods in the world.

"it is good!"

"Yes, I will report to my father, this matter is a great achievement."

Li Ming nodded in satisfaction.

The reservoir in front of him was really very satisfying to him.

Even a water level of twenty feet is enough to deal with it, and it can basically solve most of the floods.

The Bahe River is not the Yellow River, or even the Weihe River, and the initial water volume is limited.

The largest scale is only more than ten feet, and it is rare to see it reaching twenty feet, let alone higher.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Everyone quickly thanks.

And also in their conversation.

The sky gradually began to gather dark clouds.

And it got thicker and thicker.

"Your Highness, it's going to rain heavily soon, we'd better camp first."

The guard spoke softly.

Li Ming raised his head and looked at the dark clouds sweeping in the distance.
