So, Liu Che briefly described the two-cow pole-lifting farming method he had seen to his father for a while.

Then, Liu Che said: "Since Shang Jun, cattle farming has gradually become the mainstream, with animal power, rather than human farming, is the original Shang Jun farming system, the mainstream of the cultivation strategy, but in recent decades, farming methods have stagnated, and even cattle farming has not been popularized, Erchen often sighs for this, and the recently discovered farming method of two oxen lifting the pole, but let Erchen have some inspiration, if you can make a thing, make cattle farming more convenient, simple and effective, only this thing, can be worth several Zheng Guoqu!" ”

After listening to Liu Che's words, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, also fell into deep thought.

Don't think that the emperor doesn't know how to farm and farm!

In fact, although the son of the Liu family is not a little expert in farming, he is no stranger to farming.

In the spring of the thirteenth year of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, he issued an edict: I personally led the world to farm for the sake of Yusheng, and the queen was pro-mulberry to serve sacrificial clothes, which had etiquette. In this way, the tradition of the Western Zhou Dynasty Emperor personally cultivating the land was restored and became a system.

During the reign of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, this system was resolutely implemented.

The emperor went down to the field to farm, not just for show, but really went down to the field to fiddle with the crops!

Empress Dowager Dou's eye disease was also fiddling with needlework every day at that time and fell!

As the heir of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, the prince, when today's son has never been on the ground and has ploughed the field, it is a lie!

To this day, this system of the Son of Heaven ploughing the land himself, although there is only one ritual left.

However, the experience of early life. makes Liu Qi no stranger to the lives of ordinary people.

Especially Emperor Taizong Xiaowen is still a son of heaven who likes to teach his son by hand.

Liu Qi still remembers that when the first emperor took their brothers to pull weeds and water in the fields in the palace. On the one hand, he instilled a lot of knowledge and truth in them.

Therefore, Liu Qi is no stranger to farming.

On the contrary, it's quite skilled.

"The prince wants to restore Shangjun's cattle farming policy?" Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, asked.

"Yes!" Liu Che naturally did not hide it.

"It's hard!" Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, suddenly stood up and sighed: "Does the prince know, why can the Qin Dynasty use oxen to plough ordinarily, but my Han family can only use aluminum rice to plow?" ”

When Dad asked, Liu Che was also stunned.

Liu Che is not the kind of guy who doesn't know anything about history.

In his previous life, he was a prince and a king. Liu Che read many books and also knew something about the history of the pre-Qin era.

Cattle ploughing, in fact, is not a way that only appeared in the Han Dynasty.

As early as the Spring and Autumn period. Primitive cattle farming has already appeared.

During the Warring States Period, Shang Ying changed the law in the Qin State, and in the farming and warfare system it implemented, farming was centered on vigorously encouraging and promoting cattle farming.

For example, Shang Ying stipulated: Horse thieves die. Cattle Thieves Plus.

Meaning: The capital offense of stealing a horse, and the crime of stealing a cow is added to the crime!

There are similar provisions in the Han Law to protect cattle.

However, what made Liu Che strange was that after the establishment of the Han Dynasty, it seemed that he was not as enthusiastic about cattle farming as the Qin Dynasty.

Previously, Liu Che thought that his father and grandfather and great-grandfather did not understand the meaning of cattle farming.

Now it seems that this may not be the case!

Liu Che is also honest. Since I encountered something I didn't know, I knelt down honestly. Said: "Please teach my father!" ”

"The Qin people can plow with oxen, because they have a place to raise cattle!" Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, glanced at Liu Che and said earnestly: "When the world of Qin, the King of Qin must first go west to Rongdi, and then go south to the Central Plains, just to cut off the trouble of the back, but also to obtain the pasture for cattle and horses!" ”

"To my Han family, it is not, the land of Henan fell into the hands of the Huns, and the north was only the place, and the Huns had been suffering for a long time, and they wanted to herd cattle but could not, not to mention cattle, and there were very few horses!"

Listening to his father's words, Liu Che was also shocked in his heart.

I see!

Only then did Liu Che understand why after the rule of the little pig and the war against the Xiongnu, the folk cattle gradually flourished.

Quite simply, the victory in the war against the Xiongnu brought a lot of booty.

For example, when Wei Qing recovered the Hetao area, he obtained more than one million cattle and horses for the Han family at one time, as well as one of the best horse farms.

Huo Qu went on an expedition with his illness, and brought back countless cattle, sheep and horses.

At this time, Henan (Hetao) was in the hands of the Huns, and Daibei and Yunzhong could raise cattle and horses, but they had been harassed by the Huns.

In such a situation, the Han family naturally had a shortage of cattle and war horses.

Therefore, it is not that the Han family does not want to learn from the Qin people to vigorously promote cattle farming.

Rather, the Han dynasty did not have the conditions of the Qin Dynasty.

In the Qin era, the ancestors of Qin constantly fought against Rong Di and other nomads in the west, and several Qin kings died in the war with Rong Di.

During the war between Tongguò and Rong Di, the Qin people obtained large tracts of land and pastures, which could be used to raise war horses and cattle.

In its heyday, the Qin army had no pressure to beat the Xiongnu and Donghu.

However, the current Han family does not have the same conditions as the Qin people.

Naturally, it is impossible to promote cattle farming.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, there are not enough cattle, no matter how much you hold back, you can't hold back the cattle farming that flourished in the Qin Dynasty.

Liu Che thought for a while and said: "Since there are no cattle, you can plough by horses, and using eliminated horses to plough the land should be no less efficient than ox ploughing!" ”

If you don't have cattle, you can't plow the land?

Liu Che remembered that in later generations, Europa generally used horses to plough the land, and he didn't see how bad horses were compared to oxen.

The Han dynasty has established many horse farms because of the courage of the Xiongnu in recent decades, and because of the strong military pressure of the Xiongnu.

Naturally, all the horses in these horse farms cannot be war horses.

In fact, the breeding of war horses is a difficult job, and not all horses can become war horses.

As a result, a considerable number of horses have been put on the market.

Therefore, Liu Che just hit the horse with his mind after a little chokehold.

Liu Qi, the son of heaven, looked at Liu Che with a smile.

This prince is really tough!

But then again.

Horse farming is also a tradition, according to Liu Qi's understanding, the north of the Daibei, Yunzhong is popular with horse farming, when he was the prince, once with the first emperor back to the country, specially to inspect the local horse farming, with Liu Qi's understanding, the horse farming on behalf of the land, is not suitable for large-scale promotion.

Because, horses are smarter than cows!

Trying to tame a horse to plow the land is not the same thing as training an ox to plow the land.

Secondly, the harness of the ox and the harness of the horse are two different things.

Even in the substitution of land, the efficiency of using horses to plough the land is somewhat less efficient than that of using oxen.

Of course, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, will not sue Liu Che for these things.

In Liu Qi's thoughts, the prince, it is a good thing to fail and fail more.

It is better to encounter a setback in the position of the crown prince than to do something foolish after patting his head after ascending the throne in the future!

So he said: "Since the prince is full of confidence, then I will wait for the good news of the prince!" ”

When Liu Che heard this, he had another meaning.

So, Liu Che patted his chest and said: "Erchen is willing to complete this matter in half a year!" ”

For Liu Che, half a year is enough!

With the respect of the crown prince, he personally supervised, and there were almost unlimited manpower and material resources to drive, if he couldn't make a zigzag plow, he couldn't get a horse plow, then it could only be an explanation - the people below were fooling him. (To be continued......)
