Chapter 373 Terraces
Shen Li felt that he should discuss it with Qin Yu to learn more.
"came back?"
"Well, I have something to tell you." Shen Li was really anxious. She wanted to confirm whether her method was feasible or not, so she didn't have the energy to say anything else to Qin Yu.
Qin Yu was not unhappy either, he understood Shen Li: "You say."
"I visited all thirteen counties this time and found that people in two of them were having a very hard time. Do you know the specific reason?"
"You mean Jingping County and Zaoxi County?"
"you know?"
"Well, this is not a secret. You have the answer in your mind, right? These two counties are mostly mountainous and cannot grow crops. Since there are no fields, the people naturally have a hard life. The court exempts the taxes of these two counties every year, but even so, they still go hungry. Every winter, the court has to allocate grain to the people of the two counties, otherwise they will starve to death. Besides, the court is also afraid of chaos."
Shen Li nodded and thought. As she guessed, it was indeed because of the terrain, but the situation seemed to be more serious than she thought.
Qin Yu continued, "These two counties are under the jurisdiction of Kyoto. No matter what, the court will not leave them alone. The emperor has thought of many ways to deal with this, but none of them worked. He thought about moving all the people away before, but such a large place, if no one is in charge, will become a place where filth and dirt are hidden. This is near Kyoto. If this really happens, it will be nothing more than a slap in the face of the court, so the court can only support it like this year after year."
"Then the matter of these two counties is also a concern of the emperor?"
"It's not a mental illness, but it is a hidden danger after all. Is there a way to solve this problem?" Although Qin Yu asked this, he was still a little uncertain. After all, over the years, many people in the court had tried to find a solution to the problems in these two counties, but none of them succeeded.
In fact, there are only two ways to solve the problem.
Otherwise, we can relocate the people. But he just said the reason. Now the imperial court can afford to support them. It has not come to that point yet. We always want to think of a better solution.
Another option is to change the terrain and flatten the mountain, but this is even more unrealistic.
"I once read in a book that the terrain of these two counties might be suitable for transformation, but I don't know if it will work."
What Shen Li was talking about were modern terraced fields.
If the mountains are transformed into terraces, then the people's farming problem can be solved. The most important thing is that the weather in Kyoto is not as rainy as in the south. If it is transformed into terraces, it can only be dry land and cannot be transformed into paddy fields.
So if we can't grow rice, we can only grow other crops, such as wheat or corn.
Of course, for her, the most important thing is to be able to grow flowers. Even if she grows some other crops, she can still spare a lot of space to grow flowers.
If the terraces are built, the areas will vary in size. The small ones may be only a few square meters. Wouldn’t it be perfect for planting flowers?
Qin Yu was secretly surprised. Was there a way to change the terrain? He knew Shen Li was powerful, but he didn't expect that she even knew this: "What method?"
"I may not be able to explain it clearly. So, I will go back and think about it carefully, then draw it, and then we can study it together later."
"Okay, Ali, if your method is feasible, it will be a great achievement. I guess the emperor will definitely reward you when the time comes."
Reward? Shen Li suddenly thought of his elder brother and the princess: "Qin Yu, if it is feasible, I will ask the emperor for a reward, will he agree?"
Qin Yu narrowed his eyes and said, "Is it about my elder brother and the princess? Do you want the emperor to grant them a marriage?"
"I understand you, but it's not just that. I also want to allow my elder brother to continue to serve as an official in the court."
Qin Yu paused: "If both parties agree to the marriage, the emperor may agree, but it may not be possible to let my brother continue to be an official. This is the rule of our dynasty, and the emperor may not break it easily."
"True, but what if I have made greater contributions?" Shen Li was thinking that maybe his contribution this time was not great enough, and if he made greater contributions, would he be agreed?
"The affairs of the court are not that simple. Where can you find an opportunity to make great achievements?"
Shen Li was a little disappointed: "Yeah, let's talk about this later, let's do it step by step. I'll go back to draw the picture first, and come to see you tomorrow."
Qin Yu saw her coming in a hurry and leaving in a hurry, and laughed helplessly. However, if this thing could really succeed, it would indeed be a great achievement, and she was worthy of being the person he liked.
She has fully proved that she is someone who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him. It is a blessing in life to meet such a person with whom you like and trust each other and with whom you can back your back without any worries.
After returning home, Shen Li hurriedly wrote down the contents of the book he had read, and then drew the picture.
In fact, the picture is very easy to draw, it just looks like layer by layer of terraces.
The key is how to transform it.
There are many types of terraces, including horizontal terraces, which are built using a half-dig and half-fill method.
There are also sloped terraces, which are suitable for construction in places with thin soil and less labor.
There are also reverse-slope terraces and slope-separated terraces, and there are more, but Shen Li did not write about them.
Based on the terrain she saw, the first and second types were the most suitable, and the third type was only needed in very rare terrains.
She drew all three types of terraced fields.
After thinking about it again, it seems that there is nothing useful in the book, so this is all I can write.
The next day, Shen Li waited until the afternoon before thinking about looking for Qin Yu, after all, he had to go to court.
But before she could leave, Qin Yu came to her door.
"I was just going to look for you."
"I just finished my work, so I hurried here. Have you finished writing it?" Qin Yu said.
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Of course, we want to see what kind of method can actually change the terrain?"
"Then you have to look carefully." Shen Li said, then picked up the written paper on the table and handed it to Qin Yu.
Qin Yu couldn't wait to read it, and after a while, he murmured: "Ali, is this really what you came up with?"
"No, I'm not that good. I saw it in an ancient book. Don't ask me where the book is. It's gone." Shen Li blocked his mouth. She didn't want to lie anymore.
"This idea is really great. If it works, not only the people of these two counties, but also the entire Qi Dynasty, any place suitable for building terraces can be built. By then, many people will benefit, the national treasury will be more abundant, and our Qi Dynasty will be more powerful."
Shen Li didn't think too much about it. She just wanted a place to grow flowers and provide for her workshop. "Do you think it's feasible?"
