"I know how difficult it is for people to farm the land. Who knows that every grain of food on the plate is hard work." Han Du nodded and continued: "And not only that, I still know that if there are no accidents in the yield of the land,
It should range from rich to poor, and gradually reduce production."
Hearing that the yield of the land would gradually decrease, even Lao Zhu became uneasy now. The sharp light in his eyes flashed away, and he asked in a deep voice: "Is what you said true?"
Han Du spread his hands and sighed helplessly: "Of course it is true."
Tang He, who was on the side, stared at Han Du with a serious face and said sternly: "Boy, don't talk nonsense. I also know about farming, how come I haven't seen the yield of the fields decrease?"
Tang He's intention was not to refute Han Du, but to protect Han Du. If Han Du really spoke nonsense, the emperor would not treat Han Du even if he saw that he had already reprimanded Han Du.
Han Du's punishment was too severe.
It is a pity that Han Du did not realize Tang He's kindness, but what Han Du said was true and there was no adulteration at all.
Seeing that Han Du was indifferent, Tang He wanted to remind him again, but the emperor waved his words back.
"Keep talking." Lao Zhu said to Han Du.
Han Du explained: "The reason why Duke Xin Guo didn't notice it is because the time was too short and he couldn't notice it. Such a silent change in moisturizing things, it wouldn't take hundreds of years for people to notice the change."
of."
After thinking about it, Han Du gave an example, "Take the Henan Chengxuan envoy as an example. Thousands of years ago, it was a fertile land in the Central Plains, a rich place. But what about now? Haha, I'm afraid it is
I can’t even make it into the top ten in the Ming Dynasty.”
After Han Du's words fell, several people fell into deep thought. They were all familiar with history books. They had read the records of the richness of the Central Plains. But now it has indeed become ordinary. Is it really Han Du?
What is the reason why the land becomes barren?
Han Du was not the first to propose the transformation of the Central Plains. In the past, people used to explain this phenomenon with the transfer of destiny and the movement of dragon energy.
Lao Zhu thought of a more important point. If it was the transfer of destiny and the movement of dragon energy that the predecessors thought, that would be fine, because no matter how the destiny is transferred or the dragon energy is moved, it is all in the land of the Ming Dynasty. What is remarkable is that
Some are richer and some are poorer. Looking at the Ming Dynasty as a whole, the meat is still rotten in the pot.
But if Han Du said that the land will become more and more barren, then it will be a disaster. That means that the lands around the capital that are now fertile will become less fertile in thousands of years.
Becoming the same as the Central Plains land? In this case, wouldn’t the Ming Dynasty...
Don't look at what Lao Zhu said in the past, "There has never been a dynasty that lasted forever. If the Ming Dynasty could catch up with the Han Dynasty and last for four hundred years, he would be satisfied."
In fact, in the eyes of the founding emperor, who doesn't want the dynasty he founded to be king for three generations and for eternity?
"What can you do?" Lao Zhu said calmly, but his inner energy stirred up a storm. But even if he was the emperor, facing this natural way, he had no good way, so he had to kick the ball to Han Du.
Who asked him to pierce this layer of window paper? Since Han Du had the ability to pierce it, in Lao Zhu's opinion, Han Du should have the ability to paper it up again.
The land is gradually becoming barren. Handu naturally has a way to solve this problem. It is nothing more than adding various microbial fertilizers or adding various elements that are beneficial to plant growth and absorption.
But in this era, without relevant industrial industries, Handu had nothing to do.
However, Lao Zhu’s purpose is not to let Handu solve the problem of land impoverishment. His main purpose is actually to let Handu solve the people’s ‘food’ problem.
Han Du naturally has ideas about this.
"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, people who rely on mountains to eat rely on water to eat. Since the output of the land is not enough to eat, people will naturally go into the mountains and forests to hunt live animals for food, and some people will go into the water to fish. If you eat more meat, you will eat three less meals.
Five mouthfuls of food. Since both mountains and water are the same road, why can’t the sea be the same road? The sea is boundless, and its area is much wider than the land. And there are many kinds of fish and seafood in the sea, most of which can be
Food. As far as Wei Chen knows, there is a swollen sea south of Qiongzhou. Rumor has it that there are so many fish in it that it is shocking. It is said that half of it is water and half of it is fish."
Tang He sneered when he heard this, "Boy, you've never been to the sea, right?"
Han Du was silent. He had never really been to the sea. In his previous life, he had only gone to the beach to play, but playing at the beach and taking a boat to the sea were completely different.
Tang He raised a finger and said, "First of all, the waves on the sea are huge and the weather is unpredictable. The only disadvantage is that the ship will be destroyed and people will be killed. The Sea Dragon King eats people. That's not just a casual talk. It really wants to eat."
Secondly, there are Japanese pirates on the sea. You don’t think that Japanese pirates will just watch people fishing and do nothing, right? Thirdly, I know about the rising sea you mentioned, but it is really too far away.
, beyond the reach of the whip."
Lao Zhu was silent on the side, making it difficult to guess his attitude. He just looked at Han Du with great interest.
Han Du lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said: "There are Japanese pirates invading the sea, which is naturally a trouble. But I don't think that Japanese pirates can stop the Ming Dynasty. Chinese clothes and clothes have been fighting for survival for thousands of years.
Because of this, we have grown from a small land in the Central Plains to the vast country of Ming Dynasty today. The sea is the key to solving the food shortage of the people in the Ming Dynasty. The sea is the key to solving the food shortage of the people in the world. The Japanese pirates have no strength and can be an obstacle to us."
After hearing this, Tang He and Lao Zhu looked at each other, with smiles in their eyes.
Looking back, Tang He asked seriously: "What about the storm? This is a natural disaster, so what should we do?"
This one is simpler.
Han Du was confident and said: "If a lone boat enters the sea, it will inevitably be destroyed and people will be killed. But the bigger the boat, the better it can withstand the wind and waves. In the Southern Song Dynasty, there were thousands of sails competing on the sea. Shouldn't we
Can’t the Ming Dynasty still build ships bigger than those of the Southern Song Dynasty?”
After hearing this, Tang He shook his head and said: "The Ming Dynasty certainly had big ships. Let's not talk about whether such a big ship can be sold to the common people. Do you think that an ordinary common people can afford such a big ship?
If you don’t have a boat, how can you go fishing?”
