I'm in Daqin: Sign In For Twenty Years, Dominate the World!

Chapter 212 Planting trees and afforestation, a hundred-year plan!

“The Right Phase is very true.

The Qin Law is really harsh, making the people afraid.

Now my old Qin is already in a difficult life, and I absolutely can’t stand this cruel criminal law anymore. ”

After a long silence, Win Wind spoke slowly.

“As for large-scale projects, Afang Palace did consume a lot of human and financial resources, and some of the gains outweighed the losses.

“However, the Mausoleum of Shi Huang is the face of my great Qin, so I can’t stop it easily.

Otherwise, this will only give the Six Kingdoms of Guandong a reason to attack Daqin.

“Presenting my will to demolish the Afang Palace to repair the first emperor’s tomb.

Be sure to complete the construction of the Tomb of the First Emperor in the shortest possible time, without delaying inspection. ”

“Qin Law is harsh, especially the death penalty and corporal punishment.

It will be handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to screen them one by one and re-enact a more reasonable law. ”

“promise!”

Jushou, Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry, and Ma Jun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, were born in answer immediately.

The Hubu Shangshu on the side did not approve of continuing to build the Tomb of the First Emperor.

Because repairing the mausoleum requires a lot of manpower and financial resources.

It will make the imperial finances that were originally exhausted, even more difficult.

But your Majesty has decided to use the Afang Palace to build the Mausoleum of the First Emperor.

This saves financial resources and only needs to mobilize some labor.

Therefore, he did not advise.

“Your Majesty, the fertility of the land in Guanzhong has been greatly lost.

After the inspection of 733 Agricultural Science Yard, Guanzhong is now far behind the Zhaoxiang King period.

Whether to lower taxes and rest with the people. ”

The left prime minister Jiang Wan slowly spoke.

Hearing this, Yingfeng’s eyes showed a deep color.

The most important reason why Guandong is called the fertile land of Qinchuan with eight hundred miles is that Qin has cultivated a large amount of fertile land.

But since the Qin Dynasty, only in the Martial God period of the Han Dynasty, Guanzhong could not supply food everywhere.

Not to mention the Three Kingdoms and the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

One by one, the capital of the country was moved from Xianyang and Chang’an.

Turn to Luoyang, which is more central, and finally migrate to the south.

The climate is warm and suitable for growing rice in the southern region.

It will eventually become the country’s food supply area, which is the law of history.

But he didn’t expect that in only a few hundred years, Qin Guoguan’s fertility had fallen to such a degree.

It’s really unexpected.

Inadvertently, he thought of the terrible map of the Loess Plateau in later generations.

Mankind is over-exploited.

Planting food crops has caused vegetation to wither and caused serious soil erosion.

The surface of the Loess Plateau was cut into thousands of gullies, which accelerated the integration of wind erosion, water erosion, and gravitational erosion.

Increased the frequency of rain, flood, and drought (bjba) damage.

The fertile land of Qinchuan, once eight hundred miles, finally became the source of wind and sand.

The Yellow River has completely turned into the Yellow River, with desertified land everywhere.

Let alone planting food crops, even trees may not be able to grow alive.

“The Zuoxiang’s words are quite true.

According to my decrees, the Ministry of Households adjusted the taxes of each county.

According to the specific situation and the specific arrangement, the minimum tax is twenty one.

In addition, business tax must be put on the agenda, and three are collected and one is collected. ”

“As for the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, it sent people to Guanzhong to consider land fertility and soil erosion on the spot.

From now on, all parts of Guanzhong are encouraged to plant trees, and trees must be planted between the ridges.

The same is true around the canal, and those who violate the order are heavily punished.

“The Geng Department immediately selects a group of agricultural officials and assigns them to the villages.

Assist the Ministry of Industry to plant and cultivate a large number of pine and cedar trees. ”

“From now on, all places close to the river three miles away will be state-owned.

Regardless of civilians and nobles, those who cross the line will be killed without mercy.

The counties arranged for farmers to plant large numbers of pine and cedar trees on these three miles of land. ”

Several consecutive orders made the hundreds of civil and military officials present somewhat puzzled.

How did this suddenly jump from taxation to planting trees?

“Follow your majesty’s will!”

Although they were puzzled, they responded in unison.

Winning the wind on the upper seat of the emperor showed a faint smile on his face.

Maybe others don’t know, but he doesn’t know.

To prevent soil erosion, you need a variety of trees.

In the past dynasties, river embankments have been continuously built for flood control.

But never thought of solving the problem at the source.

The river bed can be fixed only if the water and soil are not lost.

Once it rains heavily and is blocked by forests, floods can seep into the ground in large quantities.

As for planting fir and pine.

That’s because these two kinds of wood were the most commonly used wood for ancient shipbuilding.

This is also a preparation for the empire to expand the world’s oceans a hundred years later.

“Your Majesty, the twenty tax one, is it too low?”

Chen Qun’s face was a little tangled.

Judging from the current situation in the world, ten taxes and one tax are already the most benevolent.

It is comparable to the Three Emperors and Five Emperors.

“Hahaha!’

Ying Feng couldn’t help laughing out loud and waved his hand.

“Ma Jun, the Academy of Agricultural Sciences has an intricate relationship with your Ministry of Industry.

You must be able to answer this question about Hubu Shangshu!

“Your Majesty, the minister can answer!”

After hearing this, Ma Jun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, responded.

“Okay, then it’s up to you to talk about it, all Aiqing will listen to it.”

“promise!

All the ministers responded.

“There are six main types of food crops currently being cultivated by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

They are barley, wheat, corn, potatoes, Champa rice, and red.

Ma Jun, Shangshu from the Ministry of Industry, said slowly.

“Among them, barley and wheat are more suitable for planting in the slightly arid northern regions.

The yield per mu can reach six hundred catties. ”

“Champa rice is more suitable for planting in the slightly humid southern regions, with a yield of 400 jin per mu.

Three crops a year, one mu of land can harvest 1,200 jin a year.

“As for corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, they are all highly adaptable plants.

Like sweet potatoes can be grown in the Gobi Desert, potatoes can be grown in alpine regions. ”

“Among them, corn yields 900 catties per mu, potatoes yields 3,000 catties per mu, and sweet potatoes yields 4,000 catties per mu.

“Now the taxes paid in the north are generally converted into barley and wheat.

In the south, Champa rice is used for conversion. Of course, corn can also be used as a conversion. ”

“However, this can’t change the high yield of potatoes and sweet potatoes, and it can quickly make Qin State worry about food and clothing.”

After listening to everyone, it not only suddenly realized.

For this kind of grain output, let alone the twenty-one tax.

Even if it is fifty taxes one, it can fill dozens of granaries.

There are twelve permanent large grains in Daqin.

The largest teaching warehouse is located in Hadong County.

Why did the state of Qin in the original history perish so quickly?

It is precisely because the grain and grass are basically occupied by the rebels.

Once the granary of combat readiness is lost, the war cannot be protracted.

Daqin, who needs to delay time, naturally has no possibility of defeating the rebels of the princes.

As an emperor, Ying Feng understands the principle that the army will go first without using food and grass.

To understand more about history, there have been countless wars that have changed the outcome because of insufficient food and grass.

Therefore, when the system checked in and got the six major food crops.

He hurriedly ordered large-scale planting in Longxi, which provided the country’s seeds.

At most two years.

When ten counties are planting these food crops step by step.

Then Daqin will no longer worry about food. .
