Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

"After all, this place is close to the northern Xinjiang ranch. As an important meat production place in the Central Plains, if you can't eat it in the vicinity, something will happen." Chen Xi shook his head repeatedly.

This is the same as people living near the sea can't eat fish. If this kind of thing happens, then there is no need to say anything else. Let's see if there is any problem in society.

Think about the era of overall political clarity in later generations. When there was a famine, the poor people in Shanghai had a tragic life of eating hairy crabs.

After all, it has always been the case to rely on mountains to eat mountains, and to rely on water to eat water. Geographical advantages are very important economic components even in later generations.

So in Chen Xi's view, hanging a few pieces of bacon here is a very normal situation, just like hanging a few salted fish on the eastern coast is a very normal social reality. If even this kind of situation can't happen, then Chen Xi Really need to think about the problem of bureaucracy.

"Big ranch." Han Xin smacked his lips twice. At that time, the north was still the base of the Huns. Although the Yue clan had not left and the Donghu still existed in the world, the Huns were already under the leadership of Maodun. rose rapidly.

With the strength of the Han Dynasty at that time, it is not impossible to win. The overall strength of the Han Dynasty is still stronger than that of the Xiongnu, but there are many issues to consider when taking the initiative to attack. In addition, defeating the Hu people in the north cannot obtain enough land for farming, so in the initiative Sex is very problematic.

"Yes, there will be more changes in the big ranch in the future." Chen Xi nodded and said, and then there is a plan to expand the ranch, and Jia Xu is also working on it, but it is impossible to produce results in a short time , which takes time to accumulate.

"I really didn't think about using northern Xinjiang as a pasture before, so that winning the north would not solve the problem of the Waihu." Liu Bei said with a sigh.

The enemy in the north has changed a lot. Counting from the Shang Dynasty, the Central Plains has won and lost, but in general, the enemy in the North is changing. The problem that has always existed in the Central Plains is that they can win the opponent, but they cannot solve the soil for the birth of the barbarians. .

After all, places where farming is not allowed and only grass grows are only suitable for nomads, and as long as they do not settle down, live by water and grass for a long time, and their living habits do not change, changing a group of people will not change anything.

If you can't survive, you will go south to plunder. If you die, you will be unlucky. If you grab something, you can continue to live, and the cycle repeats. This is also the problem that the Central Plains has not been able to solve the northern border.

As for the so-called going deep into the grassland to build a city, if the grassland does not have enough output to supply the city, how much does it cost to transport food from the rear?

How much is the value of maintaining such a city is a question.

After considering these issues, for the Central Plains Dynasty, the Beijun Grassland after a certain line is completely meaningless, and the land without production is meaningless for the Central Plains Dynasty. This is the reality.

The idea of ​​a large ranch existed in ancient times, but the carrying capacity of the grassland is limited, and it is impossible to use the ranch to lock up the barbarians. A large part of the reason why Chen Xi can do it is that Chen Xi has already destroyed the barbarian living in northern Xinjiang.

Planting grass to engage in animal husbandry would rather build water conservancy than run around, enclose land for pastures, move north in summer, and move back to the Great Wall in winter to spend the winter. Tied to death on the ranch.

And if they lose their nomadic habits, these barbarians will no longer be barbarians, and the problems left over from thousands of years of history will no longer be problems.

"Han Mou is still very important. He made certain seeds that can really solve big problems." Chen Xi said with a smile, the seeds of pasture are all researched by Cookie, there are many kinds, and Chen Xi wants to directly improve them pasture.

In fact, when Cookie developed the first high-yield pasture, the Hu people in northern Xinjiang were completely finished. After all, the existence of nomads is not active, but forced. If they can stay in place and eat enough, who would It's okay to run around.

When they discovered that planting grass would save them from running around, and when the Hu people in northern Xinjiang began to actively plant grass, the soil for the survival of nomads had already been destroyed.

"In general, the nomads in the past are completely cold. Now they are more willing to grow 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 seed, it really makes people don't know how to describe it."

The research on grass seeds is much faster than the research on food. Chen Xi doesn't know the reason why, but Cookie has indeed produced many kinds of high-yielding grass seeds.

Some grass species were even used by Chen Xi to improve pasture grass in northern Xinjiang. They are cold-resistant and drought-resistant. The yield is several times higher than that of weeds, and they are more suitable for herbivores to absorb and so on.

Although there is still a big gap in yield and nutrition between the pastures that are actually used for animal husbandry in later generations, for the Hu people of this era, that is already astonishing, so the Hu people in northern Xinjiang are also Build a temple to Cookie.

After all, human beings have a complex side and a simple side. Life was so difficult in the past, but now it is easy. It is not unacceptable to build a temple or something.

However, there is a big gap between the cookies in these temples and the real ones, and the painting style is also relatively strange. It may be influenced by Zoroastrianism in Central Asia, and of course it may also be affected by some natural worship in the Western Regions. In short, this song There is always something in the statue of Qi that makes people wonder how to evaluate it. Cookie has never expressed any reflections on this.

After all, Cookie’s fiancée died in the north a few years ago, and Cookie’s perception of northern barbarians is very bad. Now that she is married to Ji Xue, it’s better, but not much better, at least Cookie really won’t take the initiative To help these people improve something.

Grass seed improvement is more of a demand from Chen Xi, and then Cookie led people to start research, and then it succeeded. The subjective initiative is very obvious in this aspect, and Chen Xi will not say anything about this aspect, after all, the Things are still a knot, not so easy to pass.

"I don't think it's better to discuss planting grass. The late emperor knows, and he will probably come to you." Liu Bei waved his hand and said with a complicated expression.

Liu Bei has also seen many amazing things about Chen Xi these years, but some aspects are really unacceptable, such as planting grass, which really makes Liu Bei feel complicated.

Planting grass can produce such a large industry. The collapse of the Han Empire more than 20 years ago is really a bit of a cold joke. It is really tragic.

"I've said it all, this is actually a problem of cognition." Chen Xi said helplessly, "Many things are valuable, but how you express this value is the key to the problem. Grass is just a form of expression, there is more behind it.”

In fact, the core thing is that the Han Dynasty is particularly capable of fighting, and other aspects can be ignored. The combat effectiveness of the Han Dynasty has always been very convincing. It is not a joke to say that the Han Dynasty died by force. problems, but with force as the last guarantee, many things are much easier to solve.

Hu people can succumb to Chen Xi’s large ranch system, to a large extent, because the current Han Dynasty has a big stick and a carrot. If you are disobedient, there is a way to kill you. Do you choose?

Since ancient times, it is not uncommon for good governance to fail to be implemented. It is not because the system and planning are not good enough, but something simpler and not strong enough.

"A lot of things can be judged by the results. You taught me this." Liu Bei said with a smile. Chen Xi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded. Indeed, it is enough to see the results of some things.

"Shall we go to the Beijiang Ranch at that time?" Jian Yong asked suddenly. According to the plan, we should go to the Bingzhou Smelting Department first, and the Beijiang Ranch is further north of the Bingzhou Smelting Department, but we will go north along this road , you will be able to reach the Beidi ranch where Jianggong was originally placed.

"Let's go and have a look too. To be honest, I haven't visited since I dealt with it." Chen Xi thought for a while and said, although the Beijiang Ranch was also in the scope of Chen Xi's consideration before, whether to go or not is still up to the question. Between the two, but now Jian Yong and the others are interested, so they just happened to go and have a look together.

"Then go there, I also understand the situation." Liu Bei thought for a while and said.

After all, Liu Bei has never been there for so many years, which is very embarrassing. There are quite a few related reports to read every year. After all, this is currently one of the very few industries related to the meat-eating problem in the whole north. The end-of-year reports are very detailed.

"Your Highness seems to have been there before." Chen Xi said suddenly, Liu Bei nodded upon hearing this, which is very unscientific, but Liu Tong did go there, but only secretly, and the management staff at the ranch didn't know that Mr. The princess has been there.

"If it's winter, we don't have to run so far." Chen Xi said with a sigh. In winter, the ranch will move the cattle and horses back. It's cool, it's a good place to enjoy the cool air.

This is also why this area already belongs to the edge of Beidi County, and it takes a long time to travel north to go to the Beidi Ranch.

The largest state on the map of the Han Dynasty seems to be Sichuan and Shu, but it is actually Bingzhou, because the edge of Bingzhou is drawn with feet. When the combat power is high, you can draw it to Beihai with your feet. When the combat power is low, there is no way. .

However, the combat power of the Han Dynasty is generally very high, so the territory of Bingzhou is very confusing. As for now, Beidi County, as an important place in Bingzhou, still maintains the pattern of drawing pictures in the past, that is, the territory drawn by feet-I heard that Beihai The grass is growing well. I took my hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep to eat a few meals. There should be no problem, after all, it is also Bingzhou.
