Chapter 612: Xianjiu is sour
The Yiluo Basin is about 1,500 ordinary kilometers, and several rivers pass through it, so the water resources are quite rich. After nearly two years of continuous repair of the existing canals by more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians, many new canals have been excavated.
Almost all of those water resources have been utilized. The Luohe Dam, which started construction at the end of last year, is also progressing quite fast. Several hydroelectric generators have also been installed, making it the first small hydropower station in the country. Of course, power generation is second, and it can't generate much electricity. The most important thing is to make irrigation more convenient.
After the completion of the relocation of the capital, Luoyang's population growth continued to show an increasing trend, especially after the news of the Pantao Garden Wonderland in the palace spread, which made Luoyang, the divine capital, even more mysterious.
Therefore, in the past month, more and more people came to settle in Luoyang, and nearly 10,000 people came in every day. The large wilderness areas south of the Yi River, north of the Luo River, and east of the Yilu River were quickly contracted out...
"Your Majesty, the land that can be reclaimed has almost been divided, should we suspend immigration to Luoyang?" Chen Gong took the latest statistics and asked Li Yunfei for advice.
"What is the population of Luoyang City now?"
"As of the end of June, the registered population has reached 960,000. Now there are dozens of registration points, and nearly 10,000 people are registered every day, so it should be about 1.1 million people now."
"...The population is recovering really fast. Are all the people who migrated from there?"
"There are all over the place, more from the south. Those who moved south to escape the war have begun to move back on a large scale. There are also hundreds of thousands of women from northern nomads. After forming a new family, there are many Some of them came to the capital of Luoyang."
"What do they think?"
"Now those women are living a good life that they never dared to think about before, what else can they think? Many people have completely regarded themselves as part of the Chinese Empire, and they have no nostalgia for the past life at all. !"
"So good, by the way, how is the construction of the industrial park in the southern suburbs outside the city?"
"Sima Yi is in charge of this matter, Wei Chen is not very clear... It has been more than a month since the start of construction, and nearly 100,000 people are working there. With the addition of some convenient new equipment, I think a lot of infrastructure should be built soon. It's gone!"
"Well, very good. Send out newspapers to local people and inform local officials of the actual situation of Luoyang City. If people are determined to plant large fields, they don't need to be approved here... Qingzhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou and other places As long as they are willing to go there, the previous treatment will remain the same, and each population will be subsidized by 30 Shishi for grain!" The current population migration requires local officials to guide the way. Yes, it's not that Li Yunfei deliberately embarrassed the people, but it is absolutely impossible to ignore the current situation at all.
"clear!"
"At the same time, let's speed up the construction of the industrial zone. It is said that the grain from one mu of land can support one person at most, but the profits from industry that occupies one mu of land can support dozens or hundreds of people, so we need to rely on farming and mulberry for food and clothing. Prosperity really depends on industry and commerce!"
"Mi Bai, Wei Chen will personally supervise... Your Majesty, what about Mount Tai's consecration of Zen?"
"Hehe, it turns out that the public platform is also so anxious, Yuanzhi just mentioned it last month!"
"Now that Xichuan has been completely pacified, the troubled Goguryeo in the north has also been destroyed by Zhang Liao, some rebel bandits in the Western Regions have been suppressed and almost disappeared, and the major kingdoms in the south are also subservient. …”
"Okay, don't praise me, let's go after the autumn harvest!"
"...Then why don't we go to Mount Tai for the Double Ninth Festival on the ninth day of September?"
"Okay, let's take care of this matter on the public platform, and we must not cause labor and loss of money and money."
"Understood, Wei Chen must handle this matter properly."
"Then there will be a public office."
"It is an honor for the minister to share his worries for Your Majesty... If Your Majesty has no other orders, the minister will retire first." Chen Gong stood up and was about to leave, but his eyes did frequently look at the two jars of wine on the table. .
"Hehe, don't stare at it, this wine is for you, this thing has been stored in the spring water of Pantaoyuan for more than a month, but it has accidentally absorbed some spiritual energy from the world, but the taste has become a little weird, of course. The body is very beneficial, drinking a small glass every day can strengthen the body and prolong life." Li Yunfei introduced the two jars of wine.
This wine really has some magical effects, but it doesn't taste like juicy juice, but rather like aged vinegar. The taste is strange, but the effect is really good. This is a small accidental discovery!
"Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty, and I will retire." Chen Gong said a little embarrassingly. On the one hand, he entered the palace to report his work, and on the other hand, he really wanted to ask for a reward.
Speaking of which, after Sima Fang went to the palace to report for work a few days ago, the old man has been walking a little in the past few days, and his ruddy face looks like he is ten years younger. I got a jar of wine as a gift from His Majesty, so I deliberately attacked the saint today, but I didn't expect that there really was a legendary wine.
In fact, Sima Fang drank the wine, and the effect was very great, mainly because of the psychological effect. In fact, the guy was only in his fifties, and he was not old at all. He just always thought he was an old man and always called himself old. old.
But after drinking the wine taken out from the misty Pantao Garden, he subconsciously thought it was fairy wine, and then something miraculous happened to him. old people.
……
As the starting point of the Silk Road, Luoyang has a very solid foundation for the silk industry. There are mulberry forests everywhere outside the city. The silk industry can also absorb a lot of labor, especially those housewives.
It's just that it's midsummer now, and it seems that it's too late to start raising silkworms. Maybe we will raise them on a small scale for a season, and the silk industry will be able to restart on a large scale after the spring of next year.
Fan Yufeng had been cooking tea attentively by the side, and Li Yunfei suddenly remembered that her family seemed to be a specialist in silkworm raising in the south too.
"Xiao Fan, did your family move to Luoyang?"
"Avoid My father did open a small shop in Luoyang." Fan Yufeng replied respectfully.
"Xiao Fan, you don't have to be so restrained, come and sit next to me."
"No!" Xiao Fan answered and sat closer, but Li Yunfei pulled her directly into her arms. She was really nervous.
Today, Liu Lanzhi was on vacation, so she was the only one serving in the imperial study, so she seemed a little nervous.
"Don't be afraid, little beauty, I won't eat you." He hugged the person and gently patted his back and said.
"...Concubine is not afraid, Your Majesty is the best person in the world."
"That's right, I'm a good person...Little beauty, do you know how to raise silkworms?"
"Of course you can raise silkworms. Sister Lanzhi is even better."
"Well, when your sister Lanzhi comes back, why don't you find some palace maids together and try to raise a batch of silkworms first?"
"Well, we're going to pick mulberry leaves a dozen miles away!"
"Of course I will send someone to pick mulberry leaves. The main thing is to raise a batch of silkworms and get a batch of silk, and by the way, let everyone familiarize themselves with the new textile machine."
"Then there's no problem. My concubine and my sister will definitely take care of His Majesty's affairs."
"Well, then I will trouble the little beauty!"
"...Your Majesty, is it okay to be a concubine!" As he said that, he rubbed his face against Li Yunfei's chest, not knowing that she wanted it.
"I want to go heads-up!" Li Yunfei said while pinching her little face.
"Yeah!" Fan Yufeng responded nervously.
"Little goblin, look at the trick!"
