Chapter 141 Assimilation Begins with the Doll

Grapes from Turpan, melons from Hami, apples from Aksu, pears from Korla.

For a whole spring, Chen Ying ignored the ups and downs of Chang'an, and he led the soldiers of the Anxi Army and the people of Xizhou Road to work hard to reclaim the wasteland.

After finishing the planting of 2.5 million acres of fields, Chen Ying was not idle. led the people to start building Xizhou Road into a fruit paradise in the Tang Dynasty.

As time went on, the clumps of green and vibrant greens in the vegetable patches, and one grape vine was expanding its territory everywhere, not to mention the grape trellises, and crawling around along the fence, so that people were worried that it would not climb to the roof. The vines and leaves of the grapes are stained with a blue-and-white powder, which is the mark of spraying Bordeaux liquid, the simplest pesticide that protects the grapes from mildew and pests.

It's just that Chen Ying is very helpless that there are no apples here now, but cantaloupe and watermelon, Chen Ying has planted hundreds of thousands of acres in one go, and if it is the harvest season, the entire Xizhou Road will be a paradise of melons and fruits.

In order to increase the meat on the table of the people in Xizhou, Chen Ying also encouraged the people to raise chickens and ducks. But when this method was first introduced, the people unanimously resisted.

There was no way, although Chen Ying had made sufficient preparations, but with the continuous flow of Han slaves who were rescued by Liu Tong and Xunxiang on Tubo, by the time of May of the fifth year of Wude, Xizhou Dao successively accepted Han slaves from Tubo, a total of 300,000 people.

Due to the addition of 300,000 mouths, the food prepared by Chen Ying was far from enough. Now that the new people have missed the farming season, Chen Ying has no choice but to lead these people to work hard to make organic fertilizer. First, the manure of horses, cattle and sheep is collected, mixed with the cut grass, and fermented naturally, and the fermented manure is packed in a large water tank one by one, and then flies are led to the tank to lay eggs.

As long as the flies lay their eggs in the vat, they can get a large number of maggots to feed the chickens and ducks. In this way, not only can you save food, but you can also use eggs to supplement nutrition for these people who are almost in extreme health. Even the officers and men of the whole army can pick up an egg every once in a while, boil it in a pot, add eggs, and add vegetables, so that everyone can improve their lives.

The most helpless thing for Chen Ying is that Princess Minawar of the Sassanid Empire, this woman seems to have fallen for Chen Yingmao, and she can already march to Chang'an, but she stays on Xizhou Road, Chen Ying stops in Gaoche City, she follows to Gaoche City, Chen Ying goes to Gaochang City, he goes to Gaochang City, Chen Ying runs to Jingjue City, and he also follows to Jingjue City.

Chen Ying stayed in Yecheng, and in the next three days, Minawar followed him to Yecheng.

It's a good habit to plan ahead. In addition to farming, Chen Ying also opened countless primary schools in Xizhou Road, and even each county must have at least one primary school.

Of course, there is only Tang Yan to learn in school. Children of all ethnic groups in the Western Regions, whether they are white-skinned and red-eyed, yellow-haired and blue-eyed, must be allowed to go to school as long as they are at least eight years old, regardless of gender, and all of them must attend school for three years, and if the parents do not send their children to school, each child will pay three times the tax. Under the heavy punishment, all the people of all ethnic groups in the Western Regions had no choice but to let their children come to school.

These children are actually half a big labor force here in the Western Regions, especially the nomads, their seven or eight-year-old children can carry a few hunting dogs by themselves, and watch thousands of sheep or dozens of hundreds of war horses. Although people are small, they can be of great use. However, with Chen Ying's order, there are no more children running bare-chested on the Western Regions State Road.

Even Minawar, who is familiar with Tang Yan, was arrested by Chen Ying, including Ashina Simo, Zhou Qing, Ma Mengming, and even Luo Shixin, who was less than a basket of literacy, was arrested by Chen Ying and became a primary school teacher.

Almost the same as Datang University of Industrial and Technological Sciences, the Xizhou Road Primary School here also does not learn the Four Books and Five Classics, and a "Thousand Character Text", "Three Character Classic" and hundreds of family names have become the common enlightenment textbooks for all children in the Western Regions.

Chen Ying also gave the people of all ethnic groups in all the tribes of the Western Regions Han surnames and changed their Han names. For example, Kasur's surname is directly taken from the Su surname in its sound, Malwa's is changed to Ma's, and Wensu's is directly taken from the previous character and changed to Wen's surname.

Originally, the Wen clan in Taiyuan was not a big clan, but in just one month, they had more than 20,000 Wen clansmen in Xizhou Road.

Change is often inadvertent. Under this method, Chen should take a Han surname, speak Tang dialect, and practice Han customs, at most three or two generations later, who still remembers what nationality they are?

Assimilation starts with the doll.

Minawar likes her job very much, she is now a teacher at Yecheng Primary School, with more than 500 children, and she needs to teach these children to learn to recognize at least ten Chinese characters and speak a hundred Tang dialects every day.

Although she was tired from work, she was very happy.

As for Luo Shixin and other generals of the Tang Army, the teachers they acted as teachers were simple and rude, especially Luo Shixin, who actually talked about military law in class, and banned 17 and 54 beheadings.

However, Chen Ying did not pursue it. Now he has too few people to use, so he has to settle.

As for Ma Mengming and Zhang Yan, they are traditional literati and the spiritual essentials of Confucianism still need to be discussed.

It is certainly not appropriate for them to teach children, but fortunately, there are Han people in Xizhou Road, and most of the children in their families are learning Chinese and culture, of course, they don't necessarily have much advanced knowledge, after all, the Western Regions has been a place that only recognizes fists and is unreasonable since ancient times.

There were only five or six hundred people in the entire Xizhou Dao who could memorize the Analects, and all of them were gathered together and taught by Ma Mengming, Zhang Yan, and Zhang Shigui, who was both civil and military. The imperial court has not yet sent people from the imperial court to Xizhou Road, and everyone in the Western Regions is also prejudiced, which makes them shy away from the Western Regions.

It seems that for a long time, Xizhou Road can only govern itself with Xizhou people.

Therefore, Chen Ying is also very concerned about these seeds of Xizhou Road, according to Ma Mengming and Zhang Yan's understanding, Chen Ying intervened, and when they taught their students, they said concisely: "The history of the sage, you can be wise when you read it, you can cultivate your mind when you read it, you can govern the country by reading it, and you can manage it when you read it." My generation studied in Xizhou, how can I find chapters and excerpts? Family affairs, national affairs, world affairs, and everything is concerned. ”

When Minawar returned from school, she especially liked to eat stewed chicken. I don't know what's going on, the chickens raised by Chen Ying are very fat, and the feathers are bright and shiny, and they are very energetic.

There is no way not to be fat, these chickens eat fly maggots every day, and they eat high protein, can they not be fat? There are a large number of flies and maggots as feed, Chen Ying's general administration has raised thousands of chickens and ducks and is not very hard, if there are no these things, it will be fatal, thousands of mouths, I don't know how much food to eat every day, now people can't eat, where is the surplus grain to feed chickens and ducks?

Of course, this method of raising chickens and ducks can't be told to Minawar, and if she does, she may not have the appetite for chicken.

Minawar smiled: "Chen Daduhu, I can't understand you more and more, you are clearing wasteland, farming, and raising chickens, if you raise some more pigs, then isn't it the biggest landlord?" ”

"Seriously, I really want to raise pigs!" Chen Ying pursed his lips and smiled: "I have already asked people to prepare to harvest the pigs." I'm going to set up a large pig farm, raise thousands of pigs, kill two at a time, eat one and throw the other. ”

Minawar was speechless: "Raise thousands of pigs!" You've got a big appetite, aren't you? ”

"What is this, I have to raise not only thousands of pigs, but also tens of thousands of goats, thousands of horses, and thousands of cows!" Chen Ying smiled: "Either you don't do it, or you have to do it earth-shattering!" ”

Minawar shook her head, she was deeply influenced by the Sassanid small peasant economy, and she couldn't think of what it was like to raise thousands of pigs together, it must be spectacular, right?

Minawar felt more and more incredulous: "With so many livestock, what do you want to feed them?" ”

"Feed it with alfalfa and milk vetch!" Chen Ying said with confidence: "It seems to be possible, I remember that it seems to be like this!" ”
