The prince is on behalf of the emperor to hunt.

Walking west, he governed the local area along the way, rewarded good and punished evil, rewarded integrity and punished corruption, helped the lonely and widowed, comforted the soldiers, and inspected the border.

The speed of traveling was not very fast. It took a year to get from Luoyang to Yili, Beiting Road, in the Western Regions.

The prince stopped in the royal castle of the Kings, Luo Siye, the emperor.

I can see snow when I open the window.

Large areas of farmland cultivated around the castle are crisscrossing the fields, wheat is planted in the flat fields, and wild flowers are growing on the mountains in the distance.

I have been in the prosperous Central Plains all year round and suddenly came to the frontier. Since I left Guanzhong, I saw the rough wind and sand of the northwest border. Especially after going west to Yumen Pass, I had to pass through the vast desert and Gobi. There were flying sand and stones along the way. Sometimes I could not see an oasis for several days, only the long wind and sand were blowing.

Unexpectedly, after traveling through Yiwu and Gaochang, crossing the Tianshan Mountains, and to the north of the Tianshan Mountains, there is such a beautiful place as the Yili Valley.

It's simply the south of the Yangtze River outside the border.

The wild flowers all over the mountains, the green wheat seedlings, the caravans riding horses, and the herd flocks of sheep, as if everything was the same as the Central Plains.

"This place used to be full of cattle and sheep all over the mountains and valleys."

Siye accompanied the prince to stand on the castle and look into the distance. The Yili River flowed like a jasper belt through the vast Yili River Valley, irrigating the grasslands in the valley between the two mountains, making the land here extremely fertile.

The land, climate, and rain here make it look like it is completely outside the Forbidden City. Although it is still north of Gaochang, it is much more comfortable than the large stove in the Gobi Desert in Gaochang.

Gaochang’s grapes and fine wine are very famous, but Yili’s agriculture and animal husbandry are both abundant.

Over the past decade, the imperial court has set up Yili County and the five counties below in the 2,500-mile-long Yili River Basin, and enfeoffed 72 princes. In recent years, it has enfeoffed 3,000 knights and granted them the Yongye Territory.

From the Tianshan Mountains to the east to the Yibohai in the west, this huge river valley plain area allowed the imperial court to establish a solid stronghold here.

Luo Siye and others enfeoffed the princes, and together with the county officials of the court, they led immigrants to cultivate land and reclaim land, and reclaimed river valley plains after river, making the rice flowers fragrant and the wheat waves roll.

Many fruit and melons, fruit and melons, and even mulberry cotton are planted in the forest belts on the hillside.

The large area of ​​newly reclaimed grain fields not only allows more and more immigrants from mainland Han, but also provides food to other places in Anxi and Beiting.

There is no need to transport food from the distant Central Plains. The beacons, post stations, patrol camps, and forts on the Silk Road are also guaranteed.

Luo Siye discovered a huge gold mine in his fiefdom a few years ago.

After exploring it clearly, Luo Siye presented it to the court.

The emperor sent the escort bureau from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to explore and mine, using slaves to mine and smel, and the annual output of more than 40,000 taels of gold was very impressive.

Such a large gold mine was given directly to the emperor, and Luo Siye's generous and generous manner surprised countless people. However, for this famous royal family, he could not take such a large gold mine alone. After the gold mine was sent out, the emperor also gave him a lot of rewards.

Even the big gold mine could still give him a lot of profit every year. In addition, the imperial court sent countless mine slaves to mine, mineral processing and smelting, which also led to the economic development of the Siye Final Kingdom.

During lunch, Siye entertained him with local specialty food.

There are many mutton dumplings with mutton, horse meat and roasted buns with fire, and beef pot stickers that use beef as filling and then fry raw. In addition, grapes and melons are also available here, and they are very fresh and sweet.

A huge plate filled with chicken nuggets, with many noodles added to it, and taro brought by immigrants from the Central Plains.

Large roots of willow branches, with large skewers, a piece of mutton, and a piece of mutton oil, and then sprinkle with fennel, cumin, dogwood powder, and pepper. That's so satisfying.

"Do you usually eat this?"

"Yes." Siye smiled and pointed at his belly, "Eat it often, so he has gained weight."

Yili's immigrants come from the Central Plains, and they all have them all, so the grains are planted here, including rice, wheat, millet, soybeans, etc., millet, beans, and wheat rice are grown on slopes. Immigrants from the south like to eat rice, while immigrants from the north like to eat wheat.

Beans are used as tofu or oil pressing and feeding cattle and horses.

There are many pastures in Yili County, and immigrants also raise cattle, horses and sheep. Everyone’s life is really good now.

When we immigrated, everyone divided a lot of land, and the number of land acres is incomparable to the Central Plains. After all, the land is wide and the people are small, first come first served.

Immigrants are based on the oral calculations. One 10 acres of Yongye land can be hereditary, and there are 20 acres of land for each 10 acres of land, which will be recovered after death. This means that each person has at least 30 acres of land, regardless of whether they are born or young or old, they are divided by individuals, regardless of whether you are born or are seventy or eighty.

In fact, because there are few immigrants in many places, outside of each thirty acres, as long as you have the ability to cultivate land, you can continue to cultivate land, and the newly reclaimed land is exempt from taxes for the first five years and a half tax is imposed in the next five years. This land is considered a land distribution, and can be cultivated until you die.

As long as you cultivate and do not abandon the land after reclaiming the land, you can always plant the land.

Under these conditions, every new immigrant family is a landlord, and there are many cattle and horses here and there are cheaper. Immigrants use cattle and horses to cultivate land, which greatly increases the efficiency of farming and improves the ability to cultivate.

"The land capacity here is very fertile. We encourage the people to use the rotation farming method to divide the land into three pieces, and the cultivation is two years off for one year, and there is a piece of land for rotation every year."

Of course, the biggest reason why Yili is living a good life now is that the Western Regions have been very stable in recent years, and there are no wars, and the few wars have not affected Yili's people.

On the other hand, they immigrated and divided a lot of land. Although everything started from scratch, the tax exemption policy in the first five years, coupled with the court, the people-friendly policies of immigrants with a lot of settlement fees, interest-free loans, interest-free rent and selling cattle and horse seeds, etc., allowed immigrants to quickly grow roots and sprout here and quickly settle down.

"Even if the tax is paid in full in the future, the people's lives will not be worse than those of the Central Plains."

At least now, the people of Yili have solved the problem of food and clothing. As for some places here that are not as good as the Central Plains, such as commodities and materials are not as rich as the Central Plains, it is nothing. After all, most people are the dream of being able to solve food and clothing.

"There are too few people." Siye said to Jiawen.
