I, the patron saint of the frontier of the Tang Dynasty, was forced to rebel

Chapter 96
Crop Research Center.

This is a research institute that has been in the city last year, and is responsible for the cultivation of seeds at home and abroad.

just
There seemed to be quite a few people.

In this day and age, everyone thinks that reading is the most important thing, going into business ranks second, and joining the army ranks third.

And doing this kind of seed cultivation, to put it bluntly, is farming.

Everyone is dismissive!
Farming, the so-called folk husband
This also creates a problem. There are not many people who are really knowledgeable in the research institute. They are all people who have accumulated experience in farming all the year round, and then learn from the textbooks given by the sage king, and slowly explore step by step.

The place is very big, just under the back mountain, there are five or six sheds made of glass and concrete pillars.

Dozens of crops are planted inside, such as potatoes, barley, soybeans, and new types of rice.

Also utilized greenhouse technology, built many with extremely low cost, carried out experiment.

Everything is the technology and seeds that Qin Mu bought in the system mall, in order to solve the food crisis caused by getting rich.

Therefore, all points are completely empty.
People have to eat, under the blockade of various places, especially the Jiangnan Road controlled by Changsun Wuji.

That place is a granary!
The trade of food is restricted, so they can only figure out their own way.

After the winter, food is more scarce.

As for the greenhouse in the back mountain, the researchers were very excited.

As the person in charge, Zhang Xu was holding a lump of mud in his hand, tearing up with excitement.

"It finally came out, it finally came to fruition!"

"Waiting for one day, I take good care of it every day, and I dare not slack off at all. I finally see hope!"

"My lord, it's time for us to announce the good news!" The staff next to him were equally excited.

With the result, it is natural to notify King Xian as soon as possible.

This is the research institute that he is most concerned about.

At noon, it was time to eat.

Qin Mu ate with chopsticks, not forgetting to listen to his subordinate's report.

"Recently, news came from the governor of Naihe that more than 300 merchants have been introduced to the local area, with a total investment of one million silver. They are mainly engaged in animal husbandry. They are fed with new technology silage, which can increase production and reduce costs. At the same time, mining exploration is carried out locally. , Once a large coal mine is discovered, the quality is not high."

Listening, Qin Mu frowned slightly and put down his chopsticks.

"After the merger of Turkic and Khitan, the territory is vast. How is the army arranged?"

"Your Majesty, you once ordered the abolition of the military authority of the Governor's Mansion, and General Yue was in charge of it. One hundred thousand troops were dispatched from various states to station them. At the same time, 30 soldiers were trained locally to supplement them. It is currently proceeding in an orderly manner."

"Well, what about transportation?"

The subordinate hesitated.

That ghost place is too far away, and there are deserts, grasslands, barren beaches, Gobi, etc. interspersed in the middle.

In a word, engaging in traffic is a waste of money!
"Why, no news about this?" Qin Mu frowned and looked at the next person, "Didn't I tell you to report the news from various places every three days?"

"King Xian, this...there is located in a remote area. According to the plan, the transportation cannot be built there for the time being, and it will cost a lot of money."

"No, it must be repaired, and it will cost as much money as possible! This is related to military strategy and local economic development."

Qin Mu had already thought of this possibility in his heart, Zhuge Liang would also feel worried no matter how powerful he was without money.

However, it is absolutely impossible to look so low.

"Go, find Prime Minister Zhuge for me."

"Yes."

Not long after, Zhuge Liang arrived.

Without any nonsense, he immediately explained why the project was suspended.

"With regard to the construction of roads, the total cost needs to be millions of taels of silver, and there are only two roads and one road. This will bring huge debt problems to the Turkic Governor's Mansion. If we subsidize it, it will also drag down other regions."

"So, you stopped?"

Qin Mu's tone was extremely unfriendly and very displeased.

Roads are not only related to the economy, but also have a greater role in "transporting troops and armaments"!
It has only been half a year since Turkic and Khitan merged, even if there is no military power, what if there is a sudden threat?
So, prepare everything well in advance.

In one country, road construction not only brings convenient transportation, but also drives a large number of employment and the development of related industries.

"You have been prime minister for so long, don't you see that the development of transportation means driving the industrial chain?"

"Xian Wang, I have also considered this issue, but there is a problem. It takes manpower to repair from Yinchuan to Helan Mountain, and it is impossible to repair it with the current technology."

As he said that, Zhuge Liang seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and took out a map with several points marked on it.

"If Shuozhou can directly lead to the central Turkic and Khitan regions, but facing the problem of grasslands, the soil is weak and cannot be stabilized, and it is also difficult to handle. A heavy rain can completely submerge the road.

There is another road, built from Shanyu Duhu Mansion, based on the old road in Fengzhou, going directly to Yinshan and passing through Hohhot.”

"and many more!"

Qin Mu interrupted the conversation and pointed to Shuozhou on the map, "This place is the guard point of the Great Wall. If we build roads, we will have to demolish part of the city walls, and there will be mountains to deal with. How do we build roads?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head: "There is no need to dismantle it, there is a beacon tower as a base to expand into a defensive stronghold, and it can be directly repaired to establish a northern military region in Shengzhou, relying on Yinshan, which is an excellent military focus!"

Look closely, it does.

Shanyu Duhu Mansion is located on the border, in the central area with Hohhot, Shengzhou, and Fengzhou, and it is also the camping point of the Yinshan army.

Roads must be built!
"Okay, Mr. Zhuge is worthy of being a genius in military strategy. I will leave this matter to you to handle. At the same time, I ordered to allocate funds to Wang Shanhe. The first batch of funds will be given to the governor of Naihe, so that he can build factories related to road construction, increase employment, and stabilize the country. Alien population settled in.

The second batch was allocated to Yue Fei as the establishment of the Shanyu Military Region, with 50 troops stationed! "

Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment, "Shanyu military region?"

"That's right, the Chanyu Governor's Mansion has been formally restructured, and the government is no longer needed. All local government affairs are assigned to various regions, and the Yinshan Mountain is used as the boundary to divide it into the Turkic Governor's Mansion, Shengzhou, and Fengzhou."

"But what about the head of Shanyu Duhu Mansion?"

This is a big issue, which concerns the livelihood of thousands of people, including high-ranking officials like the Palace Master.

Qin Mu frowned slightly, "Transfer to the Governor's Mansion of Songmo, and merge Rao Le into Songmo."

"King Xian, are you a bit messed up?"

In due course, Zhuge Liang reminded.

Qin Mu suddenly slapped his forehead!
"Oh, look at my messy thinking, the plate is too big, everything has to be done slowly."

"Xian Wang, you have worked so hard, you should find time to rest and tidy up."

"Can't stop, the world is not stable yet!"

As he spoke, he looked at the Turkic Governor's Mansion, Rao Le Dudu's Mansion, and Songmo Dudu's Mansion on the map. These three places were in charge of Turkic, Western Turkic, and Khitan.

According to the original plan, after the war ended, Turkic and Western Turkic would merge, and Khitan would also be merged.

It's just that the collective place name has not yet been determined.
