Section 1034 Construction of the Tang Dynasty (4)

"As long as there are wolves, there will be no rat infestation!" Another herder leader added.

"But it's better to raise weasels!" Another argued with him.

No wonder!

Not far from the visitors, they saw a litter of weasels in the grass, and they were not afraid of people, and people did not pay attention to them.

Prairie rat infestation is a big problem, it is impossible for herders to catch mice, and biological control is the most effective.

Some powerful people think that the method is good, and then let the herdsmen under their jurisdiction try it... As a result, the herdsmen were afraid of offending Wong Tai Sin, so they would rather die than obey, or raise them half-heartedly, and when they were very hungry, they would call to eat it, peel it and sell it.

In the end, it didn't work, and he couldn't learn to raise weasels in the grassland under the jurisdiction of Xifu.

Are the people of Xifu afraid of Wong Tai Sin?

Fear!

They are equally superstitious! Very superstitious, Wong Tai Sin Temple incense is vigorous.

Different from other places, almost every family in Xifu has invited two Bodhisattvas to live in the town, and there are two Bodhisattvas to bless them.

Not only did he not dare to rebel, but he also had to serve the two bodhisattvas.

Which two bodhisattvas?

The general trend to the Bodhisattva (Wei Xi's incarnation), the town, suppresses all evil demons.

Guanyin Bodhisattva (the incarnation of Princess Taiping), great mercy and compassion, universal salvation of human suffering.

Others do not have such a good blessing to be blessed by the Bodhisattva, and the country promotes the belief in Maitreya Buddha (Wu Zetian incarnation), but everyone thinks, Maitreya Buddha is high, how can he have time to pay attention to the suffering of the people?

On the contrary, it is Wei Xi's two fathers and mothers, one is in charge of the army immediately, and the other is in charge of the people, and they are in charge of everything, and the head is the Tao, and the people of Yixi Mansion believe in the two Bodhisattvas.

They believe that they are all the people and followers of the two bodhisattvas, and that the two bodhisattvas will surely bless them.

They converted the benefits of the good welfare brought by Wei Xi into the consequences of believing in them, and every family hung two Bodhisattva statues, which were inviolable!

Wei Xi carefully promoted "science", but also did not break the superstition, in his opinion, it is better for the people to have faith than only to believe in money!

If the people have a message in their hearts, in addition to the constraints of law and social morality, it is a good thing not to do bad things with the constraints of "don't do bad things, there are gods on your head" and "people are doing it, and the sky is watching".

……

The plague on the grassland is extremely terrifying, and when a great plague hits, it is possible for all livestock to die.

Epidemic prevention and disinfection are extremely important, and the herdsman leader said that the first thing outsiders do when they come in is to change their clothes and wash their hands, and no one is an exception, even when Wei Xi arrives.

The upward and downward effects, the epidemic prevention and disinfection in the pastoral area is very well done.

Usually closed management, do not let outsiders in easily.

If the livestock is sick, it should be isolated and treated immediately.

Dead livestock are buried deep with lime and must not flow into the market... The government has an order, once it enters the market, the owner will be bankrupt!

……

A variety of operations, the heads of the ranch came up with a beautiful financial statement!

Selling live cows, horses, and sheep definitely comes with money.

Selling beef jerky, horse intestines, leather, and the bulk of the money, beef jerky belongs to how much is collected, and the income from leather is not bad, because it is the material for armor!

Rations for the march to the west! When the ministers heard about the beef jerky production here, they were all desperate.

How can you have the strength to beat the Western Army, people have a lot of beef jerky to eat.

In the Kannai, cattle are protected animals and cannot be killed indiscriminately.

This is a pastoral area, cattle are not valuable, fresh milk is not valuable, but the cheese is contracted by the government, and the same amount is collected.

Selling forage, the grass industry here is developed, the scale of operation is large, there is more forage, the forage is sold, the supply exceeds demand, and the government has purchased it every year.

Selling "organic fertilizer", at first everyone didn't know what was going on, but when they heard that it was manure, everyone understood.

Don't underestimate it, in a year, there is an income of 1,000 taels of silver from selling dung!

There are also wholesale chickens and eggs!

When introduced here, one of the ministers in the audience immediately asked: "What do you use to raise chickens on the grassland?" ”

"We use tents!" A herder leader replied.

"What if the chickens refuse to enter the tent at night when it gets dark and are squatting at the door?" The minister asked.

asked so deeply that it was like an old driver, and everyone looked at it, and it was actually Wu Youxu.

This person is a clear and strange person, with a thin body, and is the son of Wu Zetian's brother Wu Weiliang, who knows the blessings and misfortunes, is measured, knows advance and retreat, and does not like to play with power, but is concerned about miscellaneous matters.

"That's easy!" The herdsman said: "The chickens refuse to enter the tent, mostly because the light inside is insufficient, and the chickens are afraid, if you make the tent bright, the chickens will dare to enter the tent." ”

"I see!" Wu Youxu nodded.

All the nobles don't think it's the same thing to raise chickens on the grassland, but Wu Youxu is a little more advanced than them, and he knows that it's a big thing.

Raising chickens on the grassland is not only as simple as increasing income, but also about preventing locusts!

The best way to stop the locusts is to get rid of them as soon as possible, as long as the chickens are swept along the edge of the sea (there is sand and water, which is a good place for locusts to develop), the locusts can be stopped.

This is what Wei Xi taught, but unfortunately only the people of the Xifu system actually implement it at present.

As for weasels stealing chickens, weasels are actually very smart, as long as there are rats for them to catch, they can't mess with humans.

……

After the visit, the nobles really returned with a full load, and Princess Taiping sent a good horse by herself, and it was also free shipping!

Send them back to Kannai, the status of horses in ancient times is equivalent to a modern car, give you a car, what will you think!

If Princess Taiping didn't have so many ruthless troops to follow, the magnates would want to frame her so that they could take the property.

Now, everyone is in awe of her financial resources and dare not fight any bad ideas.

……

After visiting the horse farm, they went to visit the city of Hezhou,

Everywhere she went, everyone supported Wu Zetian, and the crowds welcomed her, which was very lively.

Wu Zetian summoned the people, and came to give eight "plaques, words, banquets, food, silver, things, sights, and officials", which was really powerful.

……

The sky was bright, and two scribes came out at the side gate of the hotel where the nobles stayed (Wu Zetian's palace).

A very old person, with a solemn appearance, this person is not trivial, and the elder (Wu Zetian) Di Renjie is also!

The other is also very good, surnamed Yao Mingchong, with outstanding ability, he should have been the prime minister of Emperor Xuanzong, helping Xuanzong achieve the prosperity of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, but there will definitely be no Emperor Xuanzong now.

The two got up early and sneaked out secretly for a private visit to Weifu.

At the level of the two, as long as they show them, they will be eight or nine and ten.

On this western tour, Di Renjie's health is not very good, so he can be excused, but he insists on going along, thinking about seeing how Wei Xi and Princess Taiping are doing!

"Di Gong, go have breakfast first!" Yao Chong proposed.

"Okay!"

"Yesterday I heard from the people in the hall that Zhouji pepper soup is good for breakfast, let's go eat and see!" Yao Chongdao, they didn't know the way, and they entangled a little brother on the road to ask for directions.

Zhou Ji pepper soup is more famous, the little brother is enthusiastic to show the way, they thank you, everyone say goodbye.

It was a very small thing, but Di Renjie was thoughtful.

Yao Chong really has a level, he observes words and feelings, and knows what Di Renjie thinks: "That little brother just now is of Hu blood, but his Chinese is correct and round, Wei Xi is well sinicized!" ”

Yes, most of the people here look like Hu people, but they are dressed up, talk and behave the same as the city in Guannai, and the street signs are all Chinese characters, if it weren't for their different appearance, there is not much difference from the city in Guannai.

"I've seen Wei Xi's play, his sinicization measures are very powerful, the key is that he dares to start!" Di Renjie rarely praises people, but he looks at Wei Xi differently.

"Dare to act!" Yao Chong also praised: "The government of many border cities is afraid of provoking the Hu people's changes, so they only open their eyes and close their eyes, and dare not offend the Hu people!" ”

The two of them woke up, this is the benefit of force!

As high-ranking officials in the court, of course they understand the harm of not being sinicized, after the monarch did not see the Three Kingdoms, the Hu people rebelled, Shenzhou sank, the Jin people crossed to the south, and the Han Zuo perished!

But it's not easy to be a magistrate, the world's government is a virtue, more things are better than less, no one will help you if something happens, and it's good not to fall into the ground.

Wei Xi is strong in sinicization, supporting his government by force, setting assessment indicators, and everywhere he goes, everything is sinicized.

Even if the camps are different, Di Renjie and Yao Chong can't have a clear conscience, they can only agree!
