Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Li Ke followed the uncle into the village. The entire village was not very neatly built. After all, it was located on a mountain and was always subject to terrain restrictions, but every household was built very cleanly.

The roads in the village are also very clean on both sides. It is not as dirty as in many remote villages. At least there is a lot of garbage commonly used in rural areas.

And here, even some commonly used firewood was placed very neatly, and there were trash cans in the village. At least they didn't see any littering.

Each family reserves an acre of land in front of and behind their house, and even the yard is kept very neatly.

"Uncle, your place is so clean." The assistant asked, looking around curiously.

"Haha, of course. You may not believe it when I tell you. Our Zhangjia Village, or the various forest protection villages in our entire Loess Plateau Nature Reserve, were the first villages in the entire Tang Dynasty to sort garbage."

"It doesn't matter, like some of our daily household garbage, etc. They can be buried directly in the forest for final fertilization and serve as nutrients in the forest. But plastics, metals, etc. cannot be decomposed naturally, or it takes a long time to decompose. , we collected them directly and threw them down the mountain." The uncle said proudly.

Li Ke and the assistant were both a little surprised. After all, in a place like this, any ordinary people might not be able to distinguish it so clearly. After all, there is a lot of land in the countryside, and it doesn't matter if you litter it casually. .

For the common people, they don't think so clearly.

Although Datang has implemented garbage classification for a long time, since the uncle said that this was the first implementation of garbage classification in Datang, it means that the garbage classification here may have been implemented for at least a hundred years.

"Uncle, you are really awesome. After all, garbage classification is not easy to implement in many cities." Li Ke said with a smile.

"Actually, it's nothing. Our ancestors have been here for generations. It can be said that everything we have dedicated to this mountain, this forest, and the trees in these forests are like our children."

"Now that we have caught up with the good times, we no longer need to control the entire forest. We only need to patrol and monitor the forest conditions in the entire mountain, or station in the fire prevention building to avoid fires here, and monitor the animals in the nature reserve. Just assist the relevant departments of the Forestry Bureau to conduct research on these animals."

"Like our ancestors, trees need to be planted throughout the Loess Plateau. Different trees need to be planted in different seasons, and the types of vegetation need to be considered to form a fixed ecosystem to avoid some biological invasions and to take care of them. to animals and more.”

"It was difficult at that time. It was much more tiring than it is now, and there were not so many tools. Unlike now, fire watchtowers are getting better and better, and drones can be used to patrol the interior of some virgin forests."

"Not only that, there are countless weather satellites in the sky watching these virgin forests. If there is a possibility of fire, they will notify us to conduct inspections and so on."

"Technology has changed life. Our work now is much more leisurely than before."

"The only thing left is domestic garbage. How can we not pay attention to it? Some daily domestic garbage, including feces and urine, doesn't matter. We can dispose of it casually in the forest."

"But plastics, which may not decompose for thousands of years, certainly can't harm these forests."

"Because the plants may not matter, but if the animals living in the forest eat these plastics, they will be in trouble."

"We have not forgotten the teachings of our ancestors. When our ancestors chose to stay, it was not just to protect nature, protect soil erosion, and prevent the loess that gave birth to our Chinese civilization from turning into harmful loess."

“Where we are, protecting nature is not just about preventing soil erosion, environmental pollution is also very important.”

"So, we have been taught to do these protective tasks since we were young, and this naturally doesn't matter. So you young girls, you can come here to play, but you must not litter polluting garbage. "

"Food, melon and fruit residues and the like don't matter, just throw them away, but don't throw away plastics, cans, glass bottles, etc." The uncle looked at Li Ke and the others and warned them.

"Don't worry, uncle, we won't litter." Li Ke smiled.

This small village retains more than just an ancestral hall. Li Ke followed the uncle to visit the ancestral hall in the village first. As the uncle said, the entire ancestral hall is not made of stones like other places. , but use rammed earth.

However, this rammed earth building has survived the wind and rain for 400 years despite constant maintenance.

Li Ke burned a stick of incense and it didn't matter anymore.The person who was incense was Li Ke, the Holy Sect of the Tang Dynasty. What does it have to do with one of my anchors, Li Ke?

He's used to it.

In addition to the ancestral hall, there are many remaining ancient buildings in the village. For example, the earliest fire watch tower was also made of rammed earth. However, after hundreds of years of wind erosion and lack of maintenance, it has weathered a lot. Maybe it won't exist in another 200 years.

In addition, there are traces of what were once terraced fields, but now these places have long been covered by forests.

"Look at those gullies and ridges. In the past, according to village records, once it rained, especially heavy rain, a large amount of soil would be washed away directly by the rain. Even if it rained for long enough, a large amount of soil would be washed away. Large chunks of soil fall, forming rolling torrents or even mudslides.”

"But in our Loess Plateau, there have been no mudslides or flash floods in the past 400 years."

"It is also for this reason that the Yellow River is so clear now and only becomes turbid in a few limited places."

The uncle took Li Ke and others to visit the entire Zhangjiacun, and then invited them to have dinner at home in the evening.

In the afternoon, Li Ke simply started the live broadcast. Thanks to the advancement of technology, images from drones and so on can be connected to the live broadcast room. Today is a special live broadcast on the Loess Plateau.

And for a large number of fans and viewers who live in cities and have almost never been to these primitive jungle places, the stories here have never been known to them.

Just a simple story about Zhangjiacun earned Li Ke countless rewards in one afternoon. With 400 years of persistence and 64 generations of hard work, each Zhangjiacun has restored the Loess Plateau that nurtured Chinese civilization. turned green.
