Chapter 274

After Zhang Yi and Jia Sixie left Shanghai, they began to travel around the country.

Now China's cultivated land is mainly distributed along the eastern coast. There are several granaries throughout China. According to the development time, they are the Central Plains, Guanzhong, Hebei, Shuzhong, Jiangnan, Jiangdong, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Northeast.In fact, only the Central Plains and Hebei were developed during the Three Kingdoms period.

The Central Plains includes Jingzhaoyin, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou. These places are all food-producing places, and they are rich in products. This is also an important reason why Cao Cao can rise in extreme wars.

Guanzhong is the Sanqin region, and it was part of the world in the Western Han Dynasty.Dong Zhuo occupied it for two years, and Li Jue and Guo Si also occupied it for several years. They didn't lose until they killed everyone.

Hebei is mainly Jizhou, Youzhou and Qingzhou, and Jizhou is the most.Jizhou has always been the place with the most arable land in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Since Emperor Guangwu, it has been developing here. After the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it became the number one state in the world. Jingzhao Yin did not have as much wealth as it.After Yuan Shao occupied this state, he could compete with his younger brother Yuan Shu.You must know that Yuan Shu occupied Nanyang, Yuzhou and other places at that time, and had the support of most of the Yuan family.

The development of Shuzhong has been continuous since Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty.It's just that a few years after Liu Bang sent troops from Hanzhong, a major earthquake broke out in Qinling, causing the road leading to Hanzhong to collapse and become like a new sky.This is also why Zhuge Liang made the northern expedition from Qishan Mountain, because other roads are difficult to walk, and as long as the army passes through, it will be blocked and they will not be able to get out at all.

Back then, in order to enter Shu, King Qin Hui deceived the kings of Ba and Shu to open up a road, which is the story of five Dings opening mountains.The road where Wuding opened the mountain is called Jinniu Road. This Jinniu Road was also destroyed in the earthquake, but it is still one of the main roads into Shu.In addition, there are Chencang Road, Baoxie Road, Luogu Road, and Ziwu Road, all of which are the main roads into Shu, but these five roads are not suitable for the passage of large troops, especially for grain transportation.

Therefore, Central Shu has never been developed, and the real development was actually after Liu Bei entered Shu.Zhuge Liang's contribution to Shuzhong is that he turned Shuzhong into a real land of abundance, and the Chengdu Plain has truly become a granary, creating a unique culture in Shuzhong.

The development of Jiangnan was even later and lasted for a very long time.It has been developed from the Southern Dynasties to the Northern Song Dynasty, and the most important place is Yunmengze.During the Three Kingdoms period, Yunmengze was known as [-] Li Yunmeng. The place was too big. From the Southern Dynasties to the Northern Song Dynasty, people were occupying Yunmengze and turning it into land.Or because of the increase in population, after the vegetation was destroyed, the soil erosion was serious, and the sediment was accumulated in Yunmeng Lake, causing the topography to change.It is precisely because of such hundreds of years of hard work that Jiangnan has become a granary.

The development of Jiangdong took longer. It has been developed since the Wuyue period, but it was not completely developed until the Southern Song Dynasty.The reason for this is because many of Jiangdong are in Shanyue and there are too many bandits.It wasn't until Zhuge Ke's time that Shanyue was completely calmed down.However, during the Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, although there were basically no Shanyue, new ethnic groups appeared in the Shanyue area, just like the replacement of tribes in the northern grasslands.

In fact, the main reason is that the Shanyue area is too barren, and the Han people disdain to live.In this way, there will definitely be new ethnic groups in the mountainous areas. These people are not necessarily aliens, and they may even be Han Chinese. However, when they go to the mountainous areas and are despised by other Han people, they simply don’t call themselves Han Chinese, or are not recognized by other Han people as Han Chinese. The alien race appeared.

Guangdong and Guangxi are also known as the Jiaozhou area. It took until the Ming and Qing Dynasties to develop this area. Because of the development of maritime trade, the population here increased a lot.After more people, the Guangdong and Guangxi regions can be considered to be developed.Especially in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, it was really developed here.

The development of the Northeast region started in Chuangguandong, but the degree of development was not large.It was not until after the founding of New China that a thorough development of the Northeast came, turning the black land where roe deer were beaten with sticks and fish scooped with ladles into a granary.It's too cold here. If it weren't for the call of the country, it would be basically impossible to develop the Northeast, just like Alaska. If it wasn't for the discovery of gold mines there, basically no one would go there.

Now under Zhang Yi's rule are Jingzhou, Yangzhou, and Jiaozhou. None of these three states have been developed, so Zhang Yi now needs to develop them one by one.Zhang Yi in Jingzhou does not want to over-develop, because of the relationship between Yunmengze, there will be basically no floods in the river, and Yunmengze will receive no matter how much water there is.

If Jingzhou is developed, Yunmengze will disappear.In fact, compared with the farmland, Zhang Yi hopes to keep Yunmengze more. Moderate development is enough, and the vegetation must be guaranteed to prevent too much soil erosion in the upper reaches of the river.What he wants to develop more is Jiangdong, Guangdong and Guangxi, and the Jiaozhi area.

The water system in Jiangdong is basically fixed, and there is a large mountain in the middle. Even if the soil is lost, it will not be lost, because the rivers here are not big, and it is easy to build dams.

Zhang Yi and Jia Sixie started from Wujun, went all the way south, entered Kuaiji and went along the coast to the Shanyue area.Along the way, Jia Sixie was very optimistic about these lands, "These lands are very fertile, as long as they are developed, my lord will not be worried about food."

Zhang Yi has gone through so many wars, and his food reserves are running out. If he wants to start a war again, he may need to rest for a few more years.But you can't fight a big battle, but you can still fight a small battle.Cao Cao has not pacified the north, Zhang Yi will definitely not give up making small moves.

After confirming the land in the coastal area, Zhang Yi and Jia Sixie went directly to Yuzhang by boat.There is also a large amount of cultivated land in the Yuzhang area, especially the developed water system around Poyang Lake and the surrounding land is fertile.

After arriving in Yuzhang, Jia Sixie made another investigation, "I never thought that there would be so much land in the east of the Yangtze River that would be suitable for arable land, and there would be so much land in the east of the Yangtze River, all of which would be developed, not any of the three prefectures of Xu, Yan, and Yu."

Zhang Yi said with a smile: "That's natural. Except for Liangzhou and Bingzhou, which have scarce arable land, the other states have a lot of arable land, but they just haven't been developed."

Zhang Yi had already made up his mind to develop Jiangdong. After the investigation, Zhang Yi immediately appointed Jia Sixie as Diannong Zhonglang General to be fully responsible for the development of Jiangdong, regardless of whether the county or county officials had to cooperate.
