Great time travel

Chapter 49. Construction is more meaningful than destruction

For Yelu Dashi's generosity, many tribal chiefs were so grateful that they would fight to the death for him.But they also expressed that they want to meet the immortals of the Song Dynasty who created these miracles, and ask him for some "wisdom in life"...

——Of course Yelu Dashi understands their small thoughts, and they definitely want to give gifts and bribes to the Song people in exchange for the seeds and cultivation methods of [Seven-day fast-growing wheat] and [Edelweiss alfalfa]: Although the master Yelu Dashi seems to be okay Generosity, but what others have is not as good as what you have.

However, Yelu Dashi is happy to see the results of these small calculations of various tribes.

In terms of short-term benefits, once the grain output of the Mobei Grassland increases sharply, it can provide more sufficient logistical support for the Khitan Restoration War.As for whether these chiefs will be dissatisfied due to the increase in strength... If Yelu Dashi can't even suppress them, then don't dream of restoring the country!
From a more profound perspective, this can even change the strength comparison between the nomadic civilization and the farming civilization on the north and south sides of the Great Wall!

Before the rise of the Khitan and the capture of the Sixteen States of Yanyun, the reason why the northern nomads had been at a disadvantage in the contest with the Central Plains Dynasty was that even the invincible Huns and Turks could not really become stronger and completely overwhelm the Central Plains. Because although they can use the vast grasslands to raise cattle, sheep and horses, they can't cultivate them, and their production efficiency can't improve-there is not enough food supply, and the population of the grasslands can't be compared with that of the Central Plains. At most, it is only 100 How many people.Once the human resources are exhausted, the steppe khanate is almost certain to lose.

(In the era of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms, although the Hu people galloped in the Central Plains on iron horses, once any tribe of Hu people entered the Central Plains, they would inevitably change their way of life and gradually abandon their hometown on the grassland - in the eyes of the nomads on the Mobei grassland , they have also become "Central Plains people" completely different from themselves. Before the Khitans established the Liao Kingdom, no regime could have the dual attributes of a nomadic khanate and a Central Plains dynasty at the same time.)
Although the cattle, sheep and horses of the nomads are all directly raised on the grasslands, it seems easy and easy to look at, but in fact it is not that simple, not to mention the long-distance migration after eating every piece of grassland, just weekdays How to prevent wolves and various natural disasters here is a big trouble.If there is a heavy snowstorm, countless cattle, sheep and horses will freeze to death, and many small tribes will be finished directly.Drought and locust plagues have similar lethality.

Therefore, although the farmers in ancient China were miserable enough, the herdsmen on the grasslands were even more miserable, and their lives were even less secure.

If they can grow enough crops on the grasslands, it will inevitably lead to a rapid expansion of the population outside the Great Wall, so that the Northern Saibei regime can feed a sufficient number of people, raise enough military expenses, supplies and troops, and wrestle with the Central Plains regime ...

The only thing that worries Yelu Dashi is whether the people of Song Dynasty will also see this, so they don't want these magical crops to spread in Mobei.In that case, most of the chiefs would not dare to take the risk of being blamed by the gods and bring the seeds from Ketun City to their own land to sow without authorization-and they also lack talents who know how to farm-in addition, when Guo Da After the immortals left, once such miraculous crops were freed from the protection of the immortals, could they continue to be planted in Mobei... Yelu Dashi was also very uneasy about this.

Therefore, let these country bumpkin chiefs take the lead first, and test the attitude of Immortal Guo at any rate!
However, the result of this trial was so smooth that Yelu Dashi was almost surprised.

——Facing the prostration and entreaties of the tribal chiefs, after discussing with the disciples, Guo Jing, the Great Immortal Guo, happily accepted all kinds of gifts from them, and readily agreed to the requests of the chiefs, expressing his great satisfaction. I am willing to spread these miraculous crops to the entire prairie to benefit the people and keep the people in Mobei away from the suffering of famine.Next, Guo Jing not only presented some seeds and seedlings to each of them, but also enthusiastically took out a bunch of agricultural books in the Central Plains, such as "Qi Min Yao Shu" and a booklet on precautions for planting new crops written by himself. And so on, distributed to everyone one by one... Finally, they were encouraged to study hard and work hard for the common harvest and common prosperity of the people of all ethnic groups inside and outside the Great Wall.

Although this better-than-expected result should have made Yelu Dashi happy, the crowds of visitors that followed made him feel like a big headache—although he received the agricultural books presented by Guo Jing, Many of the chiefs on the grasslands are illiterate, and even those who are proficient in a few Chinese characters may not be able to understand such a difficult and obscure tome... So they found Yelu Dashi, who is recognized as the The most educated Khitan Hanlin on the prairie came to ask for advice on the parts that he couldn't understand in these books, which made this big stone forest tooth overwhelmed.

In addition, Khitan and Han officials with a little education in Kedun City, and even Yue Fei, who was only a little literate in the Song army, were surrounded by countless people holding newly acquired books and asking for advice.As for those Han, Bohai and Xi farmers who personally participated in farming before, they have become the key poaching targets of various tribes. Many tribe leaders even put their own daughters as price tags (to recruit son-in-law)... …

And Yelu Dashi is even more determined. After the restoration of the country in the future, a large number of Liaodong Han people and Bohai people must be relocated to the grasslands to cultivate wasteland. Sand is mixed in to strengthen the control of the central government.

At the same time, Wang Qiu counted the tributes or tuition fees sent by the chiefs of various ministries with a smile on his face.

——Colorful gemstones from the Western Regions, gold and silver ornaments with unique styles that are very different from those in the Central Plains, precious mink and bear skins, and even Roman gold coins minted in an unknown age... These are all tributes from various tribes to Immortal Guo .No matter how bitter, cold and barren the Mobei grassland is, in the hands of the tribal chiefs who are the ruling class, some good things can still be made.

Although most of the property among them has to be stuffed into the [Automatic Pawn Machine] by Doraemon in exchange for money to pay off debts.But Wang Qiu unceremoniously stuffed a few precious stones and gold coins into his pocket as a reward for helping them buy salt and being a guest agricultural technician to teach new crop farming skills—even though Wang Qiu had never farmed before. , but at least understand the instruction manual and educational video.

In fact, if the seeds of these future new crops provided by Doraemon are the same as the high-yielding rice seeds of Wang Qiu's era, they will not be able to maintain their basic traits while self-propagating, but will completely degenerate after a few generations. If it is only necessary to buy new seeds every year, then the promotion of planting in this era will naturally come to naught. After all, Doraemon can't let the seed company of the future world open a branch here.

Fortunately, according to Doraemon, [Seven-day fast-growing wheat] and [Edelweiss alfalfa], two extremely cold-resistant crops, were originally designed to develop the barren land of the Antarctic continent. Even if there is no follow-up service from the seed company, the "pioneer of wasteland" can reproduce by itself, at most, the traits have degenerated.But compared with any crops in this era, it can still be called an artifact of increasing production.

Therefore, for Guo Jing, the "true protector of the country", who recently promoted farming and taught high-yield new crops in Mobei, the low-level soldiers who accompanied the Song Army did not have much knowledge. The Khitans and Mongols had more fun gambling than wrestling.But among the more knowledgeable and cultured officers, there are doubts and even worries.

For example, on the second night when Master Guo distributed the seeds and agricultural books wantonly, Yue Fei, the commander of the cavalry, came over with a sad face and complained:

"...Contacting the Khitan, pinching the Jinlu, and borrowing strength is indeed the best strategy for our dynasty to drive out the Tartars and restore the lost land. But the Daoist here educates the barbarians, teaches farming, and bestows high-yield and fine seeds, turning the outside of the Great Wall into the south of the Yangtze River. Make them abundant food and fodder, soaring in strength... After the defeat of Jurchen, wouldn't they be suspected of raising tigers as a threat? It should be noted that although the Jin people in Liaodong suffered from our dynasties, the Khitan in the grassland is also a century-old enemy!

What's more, the real people have such high-yield and fine seeds, and if we don't give them to the people of the court, but let the herdsmen of the grassland take the lead, it's too unfair! "

In this regard, Guo Jing pushed Wang Qiu, the "big disciple", to answer Yue Fei's question, explaining why he wanted to "benefit to the enemy".

"...Master's recent actions are not to emphasize Khitan and despise Song people, but these two things are naturally suitable for the bitter cold land in the northern part of the Great Wall. As the saying goes, oranges born in Huainan will become oranges, and those born in Huaibei will become oranges. If they are combined If transplanted to warm and humid places in the Central Plains, the growth will be poor and the harvest will be poor. Once flooded, the roots will rot and all previous efforts will be wasted... Of course, in order to show that no one is treated equally, we can also give you some [[-]-day fast-growing wheat] and [ The seeds of Edelweiss alfalfa], let you take them back to your hometown in Xiangzhou to find a piece of land to plant them, maybe you can figure out a good way to solve the above problems..."

"...Secondly, Pengju knows that there are only a few million Hu people in Mobei, so why have they been a serious problem for hundreds of millions of people in the Central Plains since ancient times?
First, the Saishang grassland is a place of bitter cold, and grazing livestock is not enough to survive.The reason why the Hu people risked their lives to go south year after year, plundering the Central Plains despite numerous deaths and injuries, was because the barren grasslands could not support these many people, and they could only survive by plundering the people of the Central Plains.

Second, all ethnic groups in Mobei are rich in good horses, and they have no permanent home. The whole clan is nomadic with the water and grass, and the whole people are soldiers in war. In a moment, tens of thousands of cavalry can go south to fight the grassland... If my soldiers and horses in the Central Plains attack the grasslands in the north, they will work hard and spend money. , It is difficult to find its traces, if you sit and guard the border, you will be beaten passively everywhere, and it is hard to guard against.

However, if the Hu people learn farming, build cities and live together according to the customs of our Central Plains, open fields to grow pasture and wheat beans, and use stables to raise livestock, they can have enough food and clothing without looting...then, they can become soldiers all over the country, regardless of the cities and fields at home , the whole tribe went south to attack the Central Plains?Besides, in this world, only the poor rob the rich. How can the rich steal the poor?If the northern part of the Great Wall gets these two things, and cultivates extensively, and the grain harvest in successive years is far better than that in the southern part of the Yangtze River, I'm afraid that Huma will never go south, and the people of the Central Plains will go to the outer part of the Great Wall to plunder instead..."

Then, after Comrade Yue Fei, who had been instilled with "new thinking" in his head, got up and left in a daze, and went back to rest, Wang Qiu casually dug out the "Book of Time Traveling" to see if there was any change. However, he was so frightened by the latest two lines of writing that he almost dropped his jaw:

"... Upgrade the nomadic civilization in the Mobei Grassland to a settled farming civilization, and get 10000 reward points."

"...The current total points are 55000 reward points, and the single-person exit condition has been met. Ask if the participant Guo Jing should return to the real world?"

God!The [-] reward points for ending the game were collected unconsciously? ! !
The massacres on the battlefields of Bianliang and Huining before changed the fate of so many emperors and generals, but in the end, they could only get 1500 reward points from each person at most.And right now, it's just spreading some new crops on the grassland, without killing a single person, without destroying a city, and you get a full [-] reward points?God!This... Could it be that for this world, construction is more meaningful than destruction?
