Chapter 934 Western Regions Raiders(2/4)
What kind of hall is Ganlu Hall?
That was the place where Emperor Qin was shattered, the place where the serious dragon bed was located...
This old guy, shouldn't he want to cheat me?
Seeing that Jia Huan was not only unhappy, but also showed such a malicious look of suspicion, Emperor Long Zheng was about to be furious, but heard footsteps coming from outside. He glared at Jia Huan fiercely, ignored it for the time being, and sat back in front of the imperial case.
Ying Xiang and the two cabinet bosses and important officials of the court rushed over. Seeing Emperor Longzheng An sitting in front of the imperial case, he breathed a sigh of relief...
Su Peishengxuan was so anxious that they thought that Emperor Longzheng had something wrong.
Because state affairs are difficult and war is about to begin in the Western Regions, the two ministers and several emperors of Longzheng have to use their important ministers to stay in the imperial city.
However, Niu Jizong, Wen Yanzheng, Shi Shilun and Ye Daoxing were a little strange.
This is clearly a matter of discussing the rhythm of political affairs. What should I do if I announce them?
Emperor Longzheng instructed Su Peisheng to come in with his son Xiaohuangmen, bringing a row of nanmu chairs and letting the ministers sit down, and then he said: "Jia Huan gave me an idea before. He said that he could benefit the country and the people. After listening to it, I felt that it was just like that. Because it involved military aircraft, the ministers of the Military Machinery Pavilion also announced.
You all listen together to see if it can be successful or not…”
After saying that, he winked at Jia Huan.
Seeing this, Jia Huan nodded and licked his dry lips with his tongue. He was about to speak, but then he heard Emperor Longzheng say, "Go and bring Jia Huan a bowl of tea."
Jia Huan turned his head and saw that Su Peisheng had already filled a cup of tea and brought it over.
Seeing this, Jia Huan smiled at Emperor Longzheng who thanked him first, but Emperor Longzheng turned dark and shouted: "Drink quickly, talk about it after you finish drinking! You are the only one idle person..."
Jia Huan's gratitude disappeared in an instant. After flipping the two Haha signs for Emperor Long Zheng, he drank all the tea and said his previous thoughts again.
This is naturally not his idea, but just bringing over the method of reclaiming the Western Regions and creating a production and construction corps.
The Western Regions have been China's hometown since the Han and Tang Dynasties, but in fact, the only one who truly occupied and nurtured the people in full was probably the era when Jia Huan traveled through time.
Generations of the Corps worked hard and finally reclaimed countless fertile fields in the desolate Western Regions.
Before Jia Huan traveled through the passage, the area of cultivated land in the Western Regions was 60 million mu. With these 60 million mu of fertile land, 20 million households from all over the country were attracted to settle in the Western Regions.
It is precisely because of these 20 million households that the country truly occupied the huge Western Regions.
Of course, compared with Hei Liao, which accounts for one-sixth of the national arable land area, the super strong black soil granary with a total of 300 million mu, the arable land area in the Western Regions is not outstanding.
But don’t forget that there are still 800 million mu of natural grasslands in the Western Regions!!
Just looking at the grassland area, it is not as good as the inner and outer Mongolia, and just looking at the arable land area, it is not as good as the Black Liao.
But the addition of the two is a completely different concept!
If the production corps system is not possible, it would be a joke to suppress the huge Western Regions by relying solely on the 100,000 troops stripped from the Huangsha Legion.
Not to mention one hundred thousand, even if you come again, it is not enough.
Not only is it not enough, it will also drag down the entire Qin Dynasty.
Just talking about the long supply line that grew up for thousands of miles is enough to turn the entire Qin Dynasty into a snail.
By then, the recovery of the Western Regions will become an unfortunate event.
This is probably one of the reasons why the Mongolians agreed.
They didn't believe from the bottom of their hearts that the Qin people could gain a foothold in the Western Regions.
In fact, if the production corps system was not implemented, the Qin Dynasty would have only a name in the Western Regions.
After hiding the specific data and saying this, the Yu Study room was quiet.
Only then did they understand the reason why Emperor Longzheng announced them urgently...
Amazed!
His eyes looked at Jia Huan with little disguise.
Jia Huan was a little annoyed when he saw it. Except for Niu Wenshi and Zhang Boxing, he glared back one by one...
"Shi Aiqing, you are going to do your own thing. After you finish your work in the south, you will come to learn about it."
Emperor Longzheng first glared at Jia Huan, and then told him to be honest.
Shi Shilun responded in a deep voice and turned around and left.
He does have big things to do...
After Shi Shilun left, Emperor Long Zheng looked at him and said nothing. Everyone who was digesting Jia Huan's opinions raised their lips slightly and said, "Let's say it, what about Jia Huan's opinions?"
"call……"
Prince Zhongyi Ying Xiang let out a long sigh, looked at Jia Huan with real surprise and asked, "Jia Huan, how did you... think of these? With your wisdom..."
I'm fucking!
"Prince Zhongyi, what do you mean?"
Jia Huan raised his eyebrows and asked.
Ying Xiang smiled and waved his hand and said, "It's not about belittle you, it's just... you are only fourteen years old, and you're all day long... and you haven't studied hard even though you've read. How could you have these thoughts?"
After Jia Huan sneered, he was about to say something else when he heard a cough from the Imperial Case Office. Jia Huan twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "I have vaguely had this idea since I went back to the Dragon City of Junggar.
Prince Yi may not know that around Longcheng, there were 100,000 old Qin survivors who were farming and growing grain for Zhungeer.
It is also because of the years of food reserves accumulated by these 100,000 people that Junggar dared to launch a war in winter.
Later, after I contacted Kresev, this idea became clearer and clearer.
I started out in a business with cement, and I value real profit and false reputation. Only literary people care about it... Cough!
If the Western Regions were just nominal retraction but could not immigrate, they were destined to be unable to last long.
Moreover, the supplies sent to the Western Regions every year are a major burden to the court.
After a long time, I guess I will still have to throw it away, and the gain will not be worth the cost.
So I have always wondered how to make use of the Western Regions.
But these are all political affairs, so I shouldn't worry about it.
I just thought about using military methods to solve this problem.
This is the origin of the idea of the Production Corps.
If the production corps can be built, the Western Regions will be able to be completely self-sufficient in up to three years.
After the development of the Western Regions, there is another advantage, that is, the Qin Dynasty will have another place to raise horses.
The grasslands in the Western Regions are by no means worse than those in the inner and outer Mongolia.”
"Ninghou, the Western Regions... aren't they all deserts and Gobi? Where do you get the plowing fields and..."
Wang Zhao, the Minister of Personnel, did not say enough, but saw Jia Huan looking at him with a fool's eyes.
He couldn't continue to say anything.
In fact, it is not his fault. In this era, in the impression of literati, the farthest territory of the Qin Dynasty was Jiayuguan, and it was even Wuwei.
Even if there are those who are extremely ambitious, they dare to read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles, and travel the northwest, and the farthest, they should only go to Jiayuguan.
But when you reach Jiayuguan, most of them are already in the Gobi desert, with a harsh climate.
In their opinion, since the climate becomes worse the westward, the climate is naturally worse than that of Jiayuguan.
Therefore, Wang Zhao asked this question.
Jia Huan didn't give him ugly either, saying, "Mr. Wang, if you have time, you should check the information about the Western Regions more. You will know that the Western Regions not only have harsh deserts and Gobi, but also have basins and plains with pleasant climates, as well as fertile arable land."
Wang Zhao nodded with a wry smile and bowed, "The official has been taught..."
Zhang Tingyu was more practical and considered the practical issues, saying: "Ninghou, is this production corps under the cabinet management or the military cabinet management?"
"Of course it's Junji Pavilion, Lord Zhang, haven't you heard the word "State of Corps?"
Niu Jizong said without hesitation.
Even fools can tell the interests. If the military does not fight for it, it will be abnormal.
Zhang Tingyu shook his head and said, "The name is just a name, and it is the same if it is changed. This team is not responsible for fighting, but only for production and cultivation. Moreover, the required grain, farm tools, oxen, houses, etc. are all borne by the court."
Niu Jizong did not argue with him, so he winked at Jia Huan.
Jia Huan relayed and said, "Mr. Zhang, this team not only needs to cultivate, but also need to be responsible for group training after the autumn harvest. The Western Regions are not good places. There are countless bandits and horse gangs. If they are just ordinary people, they will simply deliver vegetables to people.
As for the grain seeds, farm tools, oxen, and houses you mentioned... these should have been provided by the imperial court, right?
There is no need for houses. There are many trees and loess in the Western Regions. After going there, I will build a house together.
Moreover, three years, at most three years, the garrisons in the Western Regions will not need the court to provide another grain of rice and grain.
Isn't this a good thing?"
Zhang Tingyu now sees that a copper plate is bigger than the moon, so how could he give up like this?
However, before he could argue, the old prime minister Zhang Boxing shook his head and said, "Those are all later stories... Jia Huan, the military farming system, first started with Wei Wu.
It did have a good effect, but in the later stage, it still collapsed due to distribution issues, which was almost no different from the garrison in the former Ming Dynasty.
To be continued...
