Like many high-ranking officials, [***] Xing always felt that the government at the bottom, even if it was a little outrageous, would not be outrageous to the point of desperation. The mainstream is still good. The bad ones are all non-mainstream. He also believed that with the control of the imperial court, it was possible to control the local government. Therefore, the local government's actions cannot be too outrageous.

It is precisely because of such thoughts that [***] Xing will feel that Xu Xingxia is unforgivable. This guy is simply too lawless. If you have any problems, you can report them upwards, how can you rebel at every turn? If everyone were like you, wouldn't the world be in chaos? This wind can't last long! If everyone is like Xu Xingxia and uses violence to solve problems, there will be no need for the imperial court to exist.

However, the facts in front of him were laid out in front of his eyes again. This cruel reality is that the people of the three towns in the northwest are very likely to be poisoned by Xu Xingxia, and they have been seriously brainwashed ideologically, and it is impossible to continue to support the imperial court. Even, they have the intention of subverting the imperial court. After experiencing the scene just now, [***] Xing has no doubt at all, if there is a chance, the people of the three towns in the northwest will definitely really kill Jingshi and the Forbidden City.

What should be done with the people of these three towns? Repression by force? Teased? If it is suppressed by force, it must have a strong military force and have enough money and food to back it up. However, these two things are lacking in the current imperial court. The construction of Liaodong has not yet been resolved, and Shaanxi has come to such a mess again, and Zhou Jiamo, the secretary of the Ministry of War, is only afraid that he will have a stroke.

However, if it is appeased, it is greatly cheaper than Xu Xingxia. To be honest, for Xu Xingxia, [***] Xing does not have the slightest good impression. If there was a chance to strangle Xu Xingxia, he would not hesitate in the slightest. He would even suggest that the imperial court put Xu Xingxia Lingchi to death. Because, the land policy implemented by the White Clothes Army in the three towns in the northwest seriously infringed on the personal interests of [***] star. He would never allow such a redistribution of land to occur within the Northern Zhili area. Their Zhao family has nearly 100,000 mu of land, how can it be easily distributed to others? These lands are the life of his [***] star!

"How did it get to this point?" Star muttered to himself.

…… When she got up the next morning, Sawanna finished washing briefly, and then helped Zhu Yilan, who looked a little haggard, out and prepared to continue to Yulin City. As a result, Wang Genmu did not move. The escort team he led showed no signs of hurrying.

Sawanna asked suspiciously, "Wang Genmu, why don't you leave?" ”

Wang Genmu replied mechanically: "Do you want to look around?" The chairman of the committee has ordered, inside and outside Gaojiabao, you can see as you like. You have one day to do your free. It's okay for us to leave tomorrow. The next stop is Twin Hill Fort,"

Xing shook his head and said: "Gaojiabao is not looking, let's go to Shuangshan Fort to see it again!" ”

After yesterday's incident, [***] Star decided not to stay in Gaojiabao anymore. In case the local people recognize him as someone from the imperial court, it will be troublesome. He was really a little scared of these angry Diao people. In front of these people, it is useless for you to reason with them. They are all uncivilized people, and they only know how to compete with you for fists!

Zhu Yilan's mood was also heavy, and he didn't want to continue to stay in Gaojiabao. Last night, the scars on Hu Jiamu's body always appeared in front of her eyes, making her feel very painful. She wanted to get out of here as soon as possible and go to a strange place to dilute the unpleasant memories in her mind. Since she was unwilling to stay in Gaojiabao, Sawanna naturally went with her beck. She regarded Zhu Yilan as the future hostess of Yansui Town.

Sawana said, "Wang Genmu, let's go to Shuangshan Fort!" ”

Wang Genmu said indifferently: "Whatever you want." Let's go! ”

The group then packed up their belongings and continued west along the main road, heading directly to Shuangshan Fort. Shuangshan Fort is also on the edge of the Great Wall, only a few dozen miles away from Gaojiabao, the road between the two forts is very easy to walk, and the carriage walks quite smoothly. As a result, it only took them half a day to come to Shuangshan Fort.

The population of Shuangshan Fort is almost the same as that of Gaojiabao, and even the buildings are similar. The people inside the fort obviously did not know their identities and had no feeling for their arrival. No one came up to welcome them, not even to talk to them. Everyone was in a hurry, obviously busy with their own business. From time to time, other caravans pass by the main road. Everyone is busy with their own things and there are no idle people in sight.

On both sides of the road, there are many children playing. There were more than 20 children, and they didn't know what game they were playing, and the men and women got together, and it was very lively. Just by looking at the way they laugh innocently, you know that they are in a good mood. Looking at what they are wearing and the looks on their faces, we know that their family is doing well, at least food and clothing are guaranteed.

Zhu Yilan suddenly sighed silently. Two years ago, she also passed by Twin Hills. Everything at that time is still fresh in her memory. At that time, where was there any food and clothing in Shuangshan Fort? Where are the children playing? Almost everyone sat weakly in front of the adobe wall, their eyes glazed and insensitive, and they looked like they were waiting to die. They are skinny, as if a gust of wind will blow them all away.

Why did the same place, the same people, change so much? Zhu Yilan had actually vaguely guessed the reason, but she didn't want to admit it. Or rather, she couldn't admit it. Because, if she admits all this, it is tantamount to accusing her grandfather of incompetence. Blaming her elders, she didn't dare to do.

But what if she doesn't admit it? As long as the common people here admit it, her grandfather, and the court under his control, are still dangerous. If the people of Yansui Town were really so angry, maybe they would really attack the Forbidden City. Even the murderous Tartars and the murderous Mongols are not the opponents of the white-clothed army, so don't expect the officers and troops everywhere to be able to block the white-clothed army's troops. For the officers and soldiers in various places, Zhu Yilan has long been disappointed. They are really incorrigible.

"You can do it free!"

"The next destination is Yulin City!"

When he arrived at Shuangshan Fort, Wang Genmu began to herd sheep again. His escort mission has been completed. The next escort task was handed over to a young man named Zhang Nai. This Zhang Nai is not a person from the Shooting Army, but from Xu Xingxia's side. He will take a small team of chasers and continue to escort Zhu Yilan, Sawanna, [***] Xing and others.

According to Xu Xingxia's instructions, wherever they go, they can move freely as long as they want. The White Coats do not restrict any of their freedoms. Except for a very small number of secrets, everything else is directly accessible to them. However, Zhu Yilan, who was severely hit, had no interest in free movement at all. She's still making painful choices. She didn't want to move, and Sawanna naturally didn't want to be too active.

[***] starry people appear to be very active. Since Xu Xingxia did not have the slightest restriction, he just took this opportunity to explore the reality of Yansui Town. His basic idea was this, the more he knew about Yansui Town, and the more detailed the information he gathered, the less difficult it would be to recover Yansui Town in the future. He secretly felt that this Xu Xingxia was really a little arrogant and a little proud and complacent. He actually allowed himself to move freely, didn't he deliberately give himself the opportunity to spy on the reality of the white-clothed army? It seems that he is still young and not very sensible!

After a short rest, [***] Xing took two followers and came out of Shuangshan Fort directly, and walked around everywhere. Just as he saw someone in the field who seemed to be fiddling with something, [***] Star immediately walked over. As a result, he saw a farmer who was fiddling with a lot of pipes made of bamboo. These pipes crisscross the fields, and water is constantly seeping out.

Star said curiously, "What are you guys doing here?" Leaking pipes? ”

The farmer estimated that he was in a bad mood and didn't want to be disturbed, so he didn't raise his head and said, "What is leaking?" It's called drip irrigation! If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense! ”

Xinghao is also a talented eighteen buckets, a figure who is rich in fifteen cars, and among the ministers of the dynasty, except for Zhou Jiamo, the secretary of the Ministry of War, he is the oldest qualified. He always thought that there was something he hadn't seen before. However, he searched for dry intestines and racked his brains, and he really didn't know what drip irrigation technology was. He was sure that he had never even heard of this term. However, he always felt that it was a leak in the pipe. You see, drops of water are constantly falling into the soil, isn't this a pipe leak?

He said a little unconvinced: "This is obviously a water leak!" ”

The farmer said angrily: "It's all said, this is drip irrigation technology!" What a leak! ”

Xing noticed the tone of the farmer's speech, which did not look like he was holding a dead chicken on his neck, and deliberately raised the bar with him. Perhaps, this is really some kind of drip irrigation technology. In these remote places, there are things that he has not seen before, and there is no exception at all. He put away his arrogance and asked honestly, "What is drip irrigation technology?" What's the use? ”

The farmer raised his head impatiently, as if he was a little angry, and when he saw that it was an old man who was older than himself, his face slowly eased. It just so happened that he had also finished dealing with the matter at hand, and he introduced it to [***] Xing at a glance. Sawanna and Zhu Yilan saw it from a distance, so they quietly walked over and stood next to it and listened carefully.

The so-called drip irrigation technology is naturally a new term that Xu Xingxia has come up with. The main role, of course, is to target the characteristics of drought and lack of rain in Northwest China. The three towns in the northwest, except for the Ningxia Plain, are all seriously short of water, and agricultural irrigation is very difficult. Moreover, the sand and soil in these areas cannot hide water. When a scoop of water is poured down, less than one percent of what the crops really absorb. In other words, ninety-nine percent of the other hundred percent is wasted.

Drip irrigation, on the other hand, is to drop water droplets just on the roots of crops, so that the crops just absorb them without penetrating deep into the soil. In this way, water resources are not wasted. Drip irrigation technology is a great leap forward for the arid, rainless and easily permeable topography of Northwest China. It not only ensures the needs of crops, but also greatly reduces the consumption of water resources, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Of course, Xu Xingxia's drip irrigation technology is only a description of the principle, and the specific details still need to be pondered by each farmer. Israel's drip irrigation technology claims to save more than 99% of water, that is, using 1% of the original water to meet the needs of crops. Due to the constraints of the conditions, it is certainly impossible for farmers in the northwest to do so well.

Fortunately, Xu Xingxia's requirements for drip irrigation technology are not very high. As long as you can save some of the water resources, it's already good. In fact, with the current technical conditions, it is not bad to be able to save 50% of water. Moreover, some farmers or craftsmen have used their own brains and carefully pondered, and some of them can save more than 70% or 80% of water, which is a great progress. Therefore, the amount of water saved depends entirely on the ability of each person's chief officer.

Definitely don't look at the cleverness of the folks. We, the Chinese nation, have never lacked people with extremely intelligent minds. Later generations of Chinese do not know how many folk "Nobel Prizes in Chemistry" have been produced, and the number and ingenuity of the conception are breathtaking. It's a pity that these inventions and creations are basically crooked and heretical and can't be put on the table.

Now, Xu Xingxia slowly told them the most basic principles, and let them deepen themselves. Similarly, the concept of greenhouse greenhouses and out-of-season vegetables was also released by Xu Xingxia. As for whether someone has tried it themselves, or to what extent, it depends on each person's ability. He couldn't have done it all.

Xu Xingxia believes that someone will definitely try to eat crabs. These things, once they are figured out, the benefits are obvious. As long as there are enough benefits, you are not afraid that others will not be impressed. If the path was pointed out, and no one moved, Xu Xingxia was speechless. Such a lazy, unmotivated nation will simply die out.

"Drip technology? Is it really that amazing? "The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, [***] Xing doesn't care, but Sawanna is paying attention. The kingdom of Khorasan, where she is located, has always been a water-scarce region, and it is difficult for crops to grow. This results in a small area of crops to be planted and low yields. Every year, a large amount of grain is imported from outside. This makes the Kingdom of Khorasan passive in many things. If the Kingdom of Khorasan could use such technology, wouldn't it be able to increase food production by a lot?

According to Xu Xingxia's "Basic Knowledge of the World", the entire Central Asia and West Asia regions are regions with serious water shortages. Growing crops is very difficult. If drip irrigation can be used, it is certainly possible to increase food production in some areas. Almost instantly, Sawanna had already thought about where drip irrigation technology could be implemented. I really didn't expect that this Xu Xingxia would have such a whimsy.

Even Zhu Yilan was attracted and forgot about his troubles for the time being. She was very curious, how did Xu Xingxia come up with this drip irrigation technology? He is a person, and if he doesn't pay attention, he will surprise people. Originally, the grain production in the northwest region was low. However, if drip irrigation technology is promoted on a large scale, there may be some changes.

At this moment, Zhu Yilan suddenly had an impulse. She feels that if she works hard to promote these new technologies, she may be able to let the people in many places get out of poverty and become rich. They can definitely live a better life than they do now. I can't do anything else, but this is completely possible. She believes that she will be able to do well. She also believes that as long as she is willing to do it, Xu Xingxia will definitely support her wholeheartedly.

However, [***] Xing wants to attack the prestige of the white-clothed army and Xu Xingxia's prestige to show the dignity of the imperial court. He clearly knew that this drip irrigation technology was beneficial to the people, but he never refused to admit it. On the contrary, he also said intentionally or unintentionally: "All miracles and silver skills are just floating clouds." If you don't talk about the way of the saints, don't learn the ways of the saints, and don't read the books of the saints, it's like a mirage, a castle in the air......"

Sawanna unceremoniously interrupted him and said coldly, "Old man, I don't agree with your statement. No matter how much you read, you have to use it in practice to be useful. Otherwise, what is the use of reading so many books except for intrigue and power struggle? I dare to ask the old gentleman, have you read so many books of sages, have the common people gained any benefits? ”

She was very unhappy with [***] star, and there was no room for speech. These words were completely a direct slap in the face of [***] star. She is a woman from the Western Regions, and she pays more attention to practical application effects. She is a strong supporter of drip irrigation technology, which is useful for agricultural production and can increase food production. As for the way of the saints, the law of the saints, and the books of the saints, she scoffed at them. What else does the star have besides his own selfish interests? Those guys from the Donglin Party are all all the way! Everyone is invincible in the world, and behind them is all private interests.

Star disagreed with Sawanna's words. She's just a girl. In the eyes of the old gentleman, even if Sawana is a queen, it is a deviant existence. Besides, can a place like Khorasan be compared with the Heavenly Empire? Of course not. She actually dared to attack the important ministers of the Heavenly Empire, she simply didn't know what to do.

However, his words attracted a siege from the surrounding people. Those people still had some respect for this old man, but now they don't have it at all. What was originally good in his mouth, it was degraded for nothing, who could stand it? What they hate the most is this kind of unlearned and unskilled officials! In addition to desperately looting money and harming the people, who has done a little good thing for the people?

A farmer scolded rudely: "Old thing! Where did you get out of it? ”

I don't know who it is, but I recognized the old man in front of me, who was the one who spread wild at the Gaojiabao banquet yesterday, and all of a sudden, he became surging again. There are more and more onlookers, and the action is becoming more and more intense. Even, even Sawanna and Zhu Yilan were almost implicated. Fortunately, Zhang Nai's movements were fast, and he took a few fighters to snatch them out. As for [***] Xing, he naturally has an entourage to protect him, and Zhang Nai is too lazy to care about him. It is better to be beaten to death by the people.
