Chapter 3565 That's also Bingzhou
"After all, this is close to the Northern Xinjiang Ranch. As an important meat production area in the Central Plains, if you can't even eat it near the area, something really happened." Chen Xi shook his head and said.
This is like people who are near the sea can’t eat fish. If this happens, then there is no need to say anything else. Let’s see if there is something wrong with society.
Think about the general political era in later generations, when there were famines, the poor people in Shanghai had a tragic life of eating hairy crabs.
After all, this has always been the case with relying on the mountains to live in the mountains and water. Geographical advantages are a very important economic component even in later generations.
So in Chen Xi's opinion, it is very normal to hang a few pieces of bacon here, just like hanging a few salted fish on the eastern coast, which is a very normal social reality. If even this situation cannot occur, Chen Xi really needs to consider the issue of the bureaucratic system.
"Big Ranch." Han Xin smacked his lips twice. In that era, the north was still the chassis of the Huns. Although the Yuezhi had not left and the Donghu still existed in the world, the Huns had already risen rapidly under Maodun's leadership.
With the strength of the Han Dynasty at that time, it was not impossible to win. The Han Dynasty was still stronger than the Huns in overall strength, but there were many issues to consider when taking the initiative. In addition, defeating the Hu people in the north could not obtain enough land to cultivate, so it was a very problematic in initiative.
"Yes, the big ranch will change more in the future." Chen Xi nodded and said. There was a plan to expand the ranch next, and Jia Xu was also doing it, but it was impossible to achieve results in a short period of time. This all requires time to accumulate.
"I have indeed never considered the way to deal with northern borders as a ranch before, so that I could not solve the problem of the foreign Hu when I beat the north." Liu Bei sighed and said.
The enemies in the north have changed a lot. From the Shang Dynasty, Central Plains have won and lost, but in general, the enemies in the north are replacing people. The problem that has always existed in the Central Plains is that they can defeat the opponent, but they cannot solve the soil for the birth of the Hu people.
After all, a place where you cannot farm and can only grow grass is only suitable for nomadic peoples. As long as you don’t settle down and live with water and grass for a long time, your living habits will not change, and then a group of people will not change anything.
If you can't survive, you will go south to rob. If you die, you will be considered unlucky. If you grab something, you can continue to live. It will continue to continue. This is also a problem that the Central Plains have never been able to solve the problem of northern Xinjiang.
As for the so-called deep-dive into the grassland to build a city, if the grassland does not provide enough output to the city, then how much does it cost to transport grain from the rear?
It is all a question of how much value it is to maintain such a city.
After considering these issues, for the Central Plains dynasty, the Beijun grassland after passing a certain line completely lost its meaning. The land without output is meaningless to the Central Plains dynasty. This is the reality.
The idea of a large ranch was found in ancient times, but the carrying capacity of the grassland was limited, so it was impossible to use a ranch to lock the people. A large part of the reason why Chen Xi could do it was because Chen Xi had destroyed the Hu people in the northern border to live by water and grass.
Planting grass to engage in animal husbandry, it is better to build water conservancy than to run around, enclose land to build pastures, move north in summer, and move back to the Great Wall to spend the winter in winter, turning nomadic industries into animal husbandry, and tied the Hu people in northern Xinjiang to death on the pastures.
Without the habit of nomadic people, these Hu people are no longer Hu people, and the historical problems left over from thousands of years are no longer problems.
"So Hanmou is still very important. He made some seeds that can really solve big problems." Chen Xi said with a smile. All the seeds of the forage were developed by cookies, and there were many kinds, which made Chen Xi want to directly improve the pasture.
In fact, when the cookies were producing the first high-yield forage, the Hu people in the northern Xinjiang were completely finished. After all, the existence of nomads was not proactive, but forced to eat when they could stay where they were full, and who would run around without any trouble?
When the Hu people in northern Xinjiang began to take the initiative to plant grass, the soil for the survival of nomadic people was destroyed.
"Overall, the nomadic peoples in the past were completely cold. They are more willing to plant grass and buy better grass seeds." Chen Xi thought for a while and said, "After all, planting grass is really better than running around, and Hanmou's grass seeds really make people wonder how to describe it."
The research on grass seeds is much faster than that of grains. Chen Xi is not sure about the reason, but the cookies have indeed created many high-yield grass species.
Some grass species were even used by Chen Xi to prepare to improve the grass in northern Xinjiang, which is cold-resistant and drought-resistant, with a yield of several times higher than that of wild grass, making it more suitable for herbivorous absorption, etc.
Although there is still a big gap in yield and nutrition from the forage that is truly used in animal husbandry in later generations, it is already amazing for the Hu people of this era, so the Hu people in northern Xinjiang are also building temples for cookies.
After all, humans have complex and simple sides. They lived so hard before, but now they are easy to live, so building a temple is not unacceptable.
However, the difference between the cookies in these temples and the real cookies is quite large, and the style is also quite unique. It may be influenced by Zoroastrianism in Central Asia, and of course it may also be influenced by the natural worship of some Western Regions. In short, the statues of the cookies here always make people wonder how to evaluate them. The cookies have never made any comments on this.
After all, Cookie's fiancé died in the north in the early years. Cookie had a very poor sense of the northern Hu people. Now she is getting married to Ji Xue, but it is not much better. At least Cookie really won't take the initiative to help these people improve anything.
The improvement of grass seeds is more about Chen Xi's demand, and then the cookie started to study it. After that, it was successful. Subjective initiative was very obvious in this aspect, and Chen Xi would not say anything about this aspect. After all, things back then were still a knot, and it was not so easy to pass.
"I think it's better not to discuss planting grass. If you know about the last emperor, you will probably come to find you." Liu Bei waved his hand with a complicated expression and said.
Liu Bei has also seen many magical things in Chen Xi over the years, but some aspects are really unacceptable. For example, planting grass, this really makes Liu Bei feel complicated.
Even planting grass can create such a large industry. The collapse of the Han Empire more than 20 years ago is really a bit of a joke. It is really miserable.
"All said, this is actually a cognitive problem." Chen Xi said helplessly, "Many things are valuable, but how you express this value is the key to the problem. Planting grass is just a form of expression, and there are more things behind it."
In fact, the most core thing is that the Han Dynasty is particularly capable of fighting, and it is not mentioned in other aspects. The combat effectiveness of the Han Dynasty has always been very convincing. The claim that the Han Dynasty was destroyed by force is not a joke. Although force cannot solve all problems, with force as the final guarantee, many things are much easier to solve.
The Hu people can surrender to Chen Xi's large ranch system, largely because the Han Dynasty has a big stick and a radish. If you are disobedient, you can kill you. If you are obedient, you can eat and wear a lot. If you choose one, do you still need to choose?
Since ancient times, it has been uncommon for good governance to be implemented. It is not because the system and planning are not good enough, but because it is simpler and its strength is not strong enough.
"A lot of things can be seen to see the results, you taught me." Liu Bei said with a smile. Chen Xi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded. Indeed, some things can be seen to see the results.
"Will we go to the Northern Xinjiang Ranch then?" Jian Yong suddenly asked. According to the plan, he should go to the Bingzhou Smelting Department first. The Northern Xinjiang Ranch is further north of the Bingzhou Smelting Department. However, you can reach the northern ranch where the Jianggong was originally installed.
"Go and have a look, to be honest, I haven't seen it since I've handled it." Chen Xi thought for a while and said that although the North Xinjiang Ranch was also considered before, it was still between going or not. However, Jian Yong and the others are interested now, so they just happened to go and take a look together.
"Then let's go there, and I will understand the situation." Liu Bei thought about it and said.
After all, Liu Bei hasn't been there for so many years, which is very embarrassing. There are quite a few related reports that need to be read every year. After all, this is one of the few industries that are currently related to the problem of eating meat in the entire north. The mid-year and end-of-year reports are very detailed every year.
"Your Highness seems to have been there." Chen Xi suddenly said, and Liu Bei nodded when he heard this. This was very unscientific, but Liu Tong had indeed been there, but he went there secretly. The managers on the ranch did not know that the eldest princess had been there.
"If it was winter, we wouldn't have to run that far." Chen Xi sighed and said. In winter, the ranch would move cattle and horses back. In summer, I wish I could go to Beihai to eat grass, because the Beihai is very cool even in summer, and it is a good place to cool down.
This is why this place is already at the edge of Beidi County. It takes a long time to go to Beidi Ranch.
The largest prefectures and counties on the Han Dynasty map seem to be Sichuan and Shu, but in fact they are Bingzhou, because the edges of Bingzhou are drawn with feet. When the combat power is high, you can draw them with feet to the Beihai. When the combat power is low, there is nothing you can do.
