"The Han Mian area is full of rivers and ditches, and ponds are everywhere. There are many waters, but they cannot be kept. The flood is flooded in the rainy season and the dry season cannot effectively divert water and irrigate. It is really a waste of resources..."

"So, if we want to reclaim fertile land in the Han Mian area, it is inevitable to promote water conservancy... Come and take a look, here..."

"First of all, you need to build a dam, and then use a coal-burning steam pump to pump water to drain the lakes and swamps. With this kind of machine, the land reclamation can be achieved twice as much as possible. Then set fire to the wasteland, plow several times, and there will be pieces of raw land..."

"The fertility of this kind of raw land is not good, and the harvest of grain planting in the first few years is very poor, so we need to 'fertilize'."

"There are many ways to apply fertilizer. The newly reclaimed raw land in the Han Mian area is too large. With just a little pig manure, chicken and duck manure cannot be sustained. So if you think of another way, it is to grow alfalfa."

"Don't underestimate alfalfa. This kind of grass can not only be used as a forage for feeding horses, but it can improve soil quality after being planted in large quantities in the field, while a large number of alfalfa branches and leaves are fermented in the field, which can improve fertility..."

"This is not a fool of my uncle. I have tried it in Huangzhou and it works very well..."

In the hall, Yuwen Wen told his nephew, King Qi, Yuwen Li about the current situation of the development of the Han Dynasty, so that after Yuwen Li took office as the general manager of Jingnan, he could continue to advance this magnificent development.

Yuwen Wen had just met Linghu Xi, and then pondered at the Nanzhong Map alone for more than an hour, and then met Yuwen Li who entered the palace and talked about official business.

Even in the royal family these days, the private names between relatives are all for normal families, so Yuwen Wen claimed that he did not use "I" and Yuwen Li claimed that he did not use "Secretary".

Yuwenli's three-year filial piety period ended not long ago. He lived next to his father's tomb. He had been living for three years and had a vegetarian diet for three years. His physical condition was a bit poor, but now he has returned to normal diet and started to recover.

My pale cheeks were a little bloody, but because I had been vegetarian for many years, my body was still thin.

Therefore, as an uncle, Yuwen Wen did not intend to ask his nephew to go to Jiangling, the capital of Jingnan General Administration, to take office immediately. At present, he is just asking him to take over the position of Jingnan General Administration, and he will stay in Chang'an for a while and will take care of him in the first half of the year.

The Jingnan General Administration was the Jiangling General Administration Office back then. After the fall of Liang State, the former place was merged with the Xiangzhou General Administration Office to become the Jingnan General Administration Office, and its capital was located in Jiangling.

Yuwen Li was in Chang'an and took over the position of General Manager of Jingnan. The specific affairs of the General Manager and Chief Shi were responsible for the specific affairs of the General Manager.

However, Yuwen Science must be familiar with the planning of the development of Han Mian University, so Yuwen Wen personally introduced to his nephew what the development of Han Mian University was.

As the name suggests, this is a large-scale land reclamation of the Han River Basin (the land of Han Mian) starting from Xiangyang and ending in Hankou, and the remnants of the ancient Yunmengze lakes and swamp areas were developed into fertile fields.

Spend a period of time (in ten years) to make Han Mian and Tanzhou the world the largest granary.

It is what later generations call "Huguang is familiar and the world is full of people."

As a place name, the word "Huguang" was in the Ming Dynasty and meant two lakes: Hunan and Hubei.

The reason why there was a proverb in the Ming Dynasty that "Huguang is familiar with the world is full of people" was that the two lakes area had countless fertile fields after hundreds of years of continuous development in the Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties.

It is impossible for Yuwen Wen to achieve this goal in this era, because with the current technical level, it is impossible to achieve it at all, let alone even if he instantly turns the Han Mian area into farmland, the land fertility cannot be increased, and the grain yield per mu cannot be increased.

But it is possible to partially achieve this goal. Since "the world is sufficient" cannot be achieved, there is always hope to strive for "Huguang familiarity".

Let the future "Huguang area" have a large amount of surplus grain every year, which can be stored first. Once a famine breaks out in Jingxiang area, disaster relief can be provided nearby.

Secondly, it can be exported to support the downstream Huangzhou and Ezhou areas.

This goal is not too difficult to achieve, because Yuwen Wen has a steam pump in his hand, which is not short of iron or coal. He can also conscript Jingxiang people to open up land in the slack farm.

People who participate in the land reclamation can be assigned to the land. Under such policies, there is no need to worry about the lack of enthusiasm of the people.

So when I was ready, the court mobilized manpower and material resources to start large-scale development in various parts of the Han Mian area. Based on the terrain and water situation of the Han Mian area, a large-scale water conservancy network was built, and then the swamp was drained, the weeds were burned, and the limes were released to extinguish schistosomiasis as much as possible.

A large number of iron farm tools and oxen were distributed to the people, and the division of labor and cooperation was conducted under the organization of the government, and large-scale land reclamation was opened.

However, blindly surrounding the lake and building fields will only cause the water system to lose its self-regulation function. Therefore, during this large-scale development, the water conservancy network built retained some lakes as large reservoirs or reservoirs to regulate the water potential.

Water storage in the rainy season and water release in the dry season (pulling) to ensure that the entire Hanshan area can ensure stable harvests in drought and flood.

This is a grand project that requires a lot of manpower and material resources. The court has used all kinds of solutions to not only organize the people to open up land, but also use preferential policies to call on major and wealthy merchants from all over the country to participate.

The wealthy merchants not only recruited people to open up land, but also invested in slave labor to "contract" the hardest work, such as cleaning up swamps and putting lime to extinguish schistosomiasis.

Where did slave labor come from? Of course it was acquired from the slave hunting team.

Under the strong demand for the development of the Han Mian University, the Shengkou trading around the Han Mian has been booming before, and under the joint effect, it directly stimulated the Shengkou trading in Nanzhong.

Countless slave hunting teams active in the south central China transported a large number of Shengkou to the north through Zhuti to the Dao City on the riverside and sold them to middlemen waiting for "purchase".

The middlemen loaded Shengkou ships, then went downstream, exited the gorge and went straight to Jiangling, Hankou and other places, and resold them to various "development groups". A Shengkou trading industry chain from Nanzhong to Jiangling has been formed, so there is no shortage of manpower in the Hanxi Development.

There is no shortage of iron tools. As for oxen, alfalfa seeds and rice seeds, there is no shortage of them.

This massive development has been underway for two years. The entire Han Mian area has now become a huge construction site, the water conservancy network has begun to take shape, and some early-developed farmlands have now harvested.

Although the harvest in the raw land is not much better, it gives the people hope and is naturally full of enthusiasm.

All development matters are underway in an orderly manner and are organized by the Jingnan General Administration Office. Therefore, the new General Administration, Qi Wangyu and Wen Li, has a heavy burden on his shoulders.

At this moment, he looked at the piles of information and the sand trays, and felt a little dizzy. He didn't know if he was scared or his body had not yet recovered and he was a little uncomfortable.

Seeing that his nephew was a little "stage frightened", Yuwen Wen patted the other party on the shoulder: "Don't worry, these information will take half a year to slowly, and now, it's mainly about regulating the body."

"Eat more meat, eat more oil, raise your strength, keep your energy, and do something more."

"Yes, uncle."

Yu Wenli nodded, looking at his uncle who was still too energetic, he felt a little moved.

He lived next to his father's tomb for three years. He has never returned to Chang'an for the past three years. However, Chang'an has undergone obvious changes in just three years.

Uncle's ability is indeed much better than him.

I'm afraid even my father may not be able to compare...

Thinking of this, Yu Wenli was a little dazed. Seeing this, Yu Wenwen laughed: "Don't be sad about Han Mian. Let's go to the inner garden and see your cousins!"

It is useless to be entangled with what has happened. Yuwen Wen felt ashamed of his nephew, but it does not mean that he will "kill and decisively" and eliminate the root cause, or "indecisive" and tolerate it step by step.

Yuwen Li was the only adult royal family in the dynasty, so of course Yuwen Wen had to use it.

There must be some necessary precautions, but Yuwen Li should not become a fat pig raised in captivity. Yuwen Wen knew his nephew's character and ability, so he had to have some necessary appointments.

When Yuwen Wen became the emperor, the imperial system of the Great Zhou Dynasty was transferred. His successor Yuwen Yi naturally wanted to posthumously award the title of emperor, and the corresponding posthumous title of the deceased royal family had already been given.

Since he took the year name "Mingde", he would not force Yu Wenli by any means, nor would he let the abdicated young emperor "dying from sudden illness".

Walking in the corridor, Yuwen Wen told his nephew: "In the future, you will go to Jiangling, take some time, go to Xiyang to have a walk, see the provincial school, and also greet that one."
