Abandoned Prince Survival Guide

It has been three years since the implementation of the land equalization system, which has realized that every family has property and everyone has land.For a time, the whole country was in a state of prosperity. As long as you are willing to work, there is no reason to starve to death.

For those widows, widows, widows, widows, and sick people who are unable to work, the government supervises the Lonely Garden to take them in.

The government also encourages the people to adopt these people, because these widows, widows, lonely and disabled people also have land, and if they are adopted, they can also take over their fields.

In order to increase grain production, Xiao Yu also thought of many ways.

The first is to promote iron agricultural tools nationwide. The promotion of iron agricultural tools is not as simple as talking about it. The main reason is the limited output of iron ore.

Iron has a wide range of uses, including weapons, horseshoes, farm tools, and cooking utensils. The iron ore in Yazhou was excavated, which indeed solved the urgent need, but it was not enough.

After Xiao Yu entered Jianye, he ordered people to search for minerals everywhere. Fortunately, he found a vein in Danyang County not far from Jianye. This vein not only contains iron, but also copper. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone. beautiful thing.

Now this iron farm tool is slowly being popularized, and in a few years, iron farm tools will be available all over the country.

When talking about pouring iron ore, Xiao Yu couldn't help but think of the New World. Oceania and South America are both continents rich in iron ore, and they are both rich in iron ore. It would be great if he could sail there. Worry about iron deficiency?

I don't know if this dream of conquering the sea can be realized and when it will be realized.

The second is to build various water conservancy facilities. The soil in Yangzhou, East Yangzhou and Wuzhou is extremely fertile. The biggest problem is that there are many swamps and mud, and many places cannot be cultivated.

Xiao Yu ordered the local officials to take the lead in building water conservancy, open up ditches and rivers, and build ponds and reservoirs to drain the accumulated water from low-lying places and store them in ponds and reservoirs for use in dry seasons.

He also ordered the Ministry of Industry to promote the bobbin car to use the power of nature to irrigate and save manpower.

He also encouraged people in the south of the Yangtze River to plant mulberry trees and raise silkworms to lay the foundation for prosperous business.

To Xiao Yu's relief, the Ministry of Industry under the leadership of Wang Juan has made breakthroughs in many aspects.

For example, the curved plow was improved, and the original heavy straight plow was changed into a light and flexible curved plow. This greatly saved manpower and animal power, and also improved efficiency. It can still be used in small and small fields.

With improvements in many aspects, the grain output has been renewed every year, especially in this year when the weather is good and the weather is good, the total grain output is one-fifth more than the year before when there was no famine.

The people's granary is full, and the people's life is rich. In this way, they will pursue a higher quality of life and promote the prosperity of business.

The production of cotton and sugar also increased, and various handicraft workshops also flourished.

With commercial activities, there will be innovation and progress, which is what Xiao Yu is most happy to see.

What is even more gratifying is that since the land equalization system, the number of newborns born in Anguo has increased sharply every year, which is the result of social stability and affluent life.

In order to keep up with the level of medical care, the Tai Hospital took the lead in setting up medical centers in various states and counties, recruiting students who are interested in studying medicine, and training a large number of doctors.

Although training a doctor is not a one-time job, everything needs a beginning. If you start now, you will see results in the future.

Since ancient times, medicine has been a high-entry profession, and it is taught by one person, which is inefficient, and there are concerns that the disciples of the church will starve to death of the master, so doctors are not willing to recruit disciples.As a result, the number of doctors is scarce, the level of medical care is low, and the average life expectancy is generally low.

The purpose of establishing a medical center is to improve efficiency. A group of experienced doctors are gathered to teach. Students learn three years of theoretical knowledge, and then enter the medical center for two years of practical operations. After passing the graduation examination, the government will issue a medical qualification, and then they can sit in the medical center. Ask a doctor and become a real doctor.

This is much faster than the previous teaching mode. Of course, the entry threshold is relatively high, and you need to pass the examination of the medical center to enter.

Many scholars who have no chance to become officials in the imperial examination can choose to study in the medical school, at least they can learn a skill after coming out of the medical school, and the doctor has always been a respected profession.

In addition, Xiao Yu also asked the local government to manage and train Wen Po and Tu Langzhong. They are the people who really go deep into the grassroots and are directly related to the lives of the people. The higher the quality, the better.

Governments at all levels are also increasing health education and publicity. All in all, improving the quality of public education is the key to truly improving the quality of people's livelihood.

Seeing that Anguo gradually stabilized from the chaos, and the people's living standards improved day by day, presenting a state of prosperity, Xiao Yu felt relieved in his heart.

Although the living standards of the people are still very low and they can barely fill their stomachs, there is still a long way to go, but this is a good start, and I believe it will get better and better.

He and A Ping, as well as those who came after, must not forget their original aspirations and stick to the right path, then they will be able to create a truly peaceful and prosperous world.

In October, Jishan returned with his fleet. This time there were more than 20 more ships than before, and they were all merchant ships from countries along the way.

The journey has not been smooth sailing.After setting off from the Persian Gulf, the fleet encountered a storm. Due to the overcrowding of ships, two ships were knocked together by the wind and waves.

Both ships were damaged to varying degrees. One of the Persian ships was severely damaged. Many crew members fell into the water during the collision. Two of them were not rescued after falling into the water and died in the sea. Salvaged, nearly sunk.

The other ship was an Anguo ship, and the hull was partially damaged. Due to the mature watertight compartment technology, the ship did not sink, but part of the cargo was also lost.

The sunken Persian ship was the first time the merchant went to sea, and there was only such a ship. The back of luck was really unexpected.

Everyone was full of sympathy for him. Jishan was acquainted with this Persian businessman, and he strongly recommended him to come to Anguo. In order to make up for his loss, Jishan suggested that everyone donate materials to help him complete this business trip.

After arriving in Jianye, Jishan also arranged for people to take the goods presented to him by everyone to Yizhou for trade.

The further inland you go, the more expensive and profitable foreign goods become.Yizhou has the best Shu brocade in the world, and if you bring it back to Persia, you can also get high profits, which can make up for the loss of the shipwreck.

Xiao Yu is very appreciative of Ji Shan's arrangement, which has established a good image for Anguo in the world and will attract more foreign businessmen to exchange trade.

He also talked with Ji Shan about rebuilding the Silk Road on land.

Jishan agreed very much: "I think this idea is very feasible. When I was in Persia and Tianzhu, many local businessmen also yearned for An Guo very much, but because they couldn't afford big ships, they had to give up the idea. Moreover, the risk of sailing is high. Once an accident occurs, almost It is irreversible, and the time to go to sea is also severely restricted by the seasons. If the land trade route can be opened up, more people will be willing to come to Anguo for trade."

Xiao Yu clapped his palms and said with a smile: "That's the thing. Once the land silk road is developed, the towns along the way will also prosper and drive the inland economy. It's just that no one has been confirmed yet. Do you have any recommendations?"

Jishan said: "Actually, I really want to go. But there is no suitable person in the fleet to take over. I will find two people from the fleet who can speak Persian well, and they will lead the team to explore the land route."

Xiao Yu said: "That's very good. Actually, I didn't intend to arrange for you to go overland. I also wanted you to go east to the sea and keep going east to see if you can find new land."

Ji Shan stared at Xiao Yu with wide eyes: "Your Majesty thinks that if you go east, there will be land?"

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "You have been sailing at sea for many years, based on your experience, do you think the world we live in is a round place?"

Ji Shan scratched his head in distress and said, "It's really hard to say. When our ship was sailing at sea, according to the hourglass calculation, it was the time when the sun should set, but it didn't go down, as if it was chasing the sun. generally."

Xiao Yu said: "I have a bold idea. The world we live in is a sphere like the sun. It revolves around the sun, so the sunrise and sunset will only appear within twelve hours. If you don’t consider the mountains and the sea, if you start from here and go eastward, you will eventually come back to this point.”

Ji Shan stared at Xiao Yu dumbfounded, his mind couldn't turn his head around, this kind of saying is simply unheard of, Your Majesty really dares to think about it!

Pei Linzhi on the side looked at Ji Shan with some sympathy. He didn't know Xiao Yu's true origin like himself. He had never heard such violent remarks, so he said: "Your Majesty, it is too early to talk about finding a new continent. After the world is unified, , it’s not too late to make plans.”

Xiao Yu turned his head and smiled at him: "Yes. To be honest, I really want to see it myself." The New World, if you take the equatorial windless belt, it will be very safe, but it will take time to row the boat manually. I need a little more, I don't know if the water and food can be replenished.

Pei Linzhi looked at Xiao Yu and couldn't help feeling distressed. He knew that Xiao Yu yearned for freedom in his heart, but because of his current status, he would be bound in the imperial city for the rest of his life, like an eagle with broken wings.

But he still said: "If there is a chance in the future, I will accompany your majesty."

Xiao Yu showed a smile, no matter whether he could really go or not, he felt very happy if he had this heart.In fact, he really thought that when Ah Ping grew up and was able to take charge of himself, he would leave this stall to him, abdicate by himself, and live his own life.

It’s just that it’s hard to say whether it can be realized. I hope that both myself and Rinzhi can live in good health and live for decades, and that Aping can work harder and become talented early so that they can retire early.

Ji Shan said: "If what His Majesty said is true, I am willing to go and see. When will the land silk road start?"

Xiao Yu said: "Let's wait until the beginning of spring next year. Now it's winter in the north, and some places have been frozen in ice and snow, so it's not suitable for traveling. When the spring begins, arrange for people to go. You should arrange people and make plans early."

Ji Shan clasped his fists respectfully: "I obey the order!"

After Jishan left, Xiao Yu said to Pei Linzhi: "I have to write to Xiao Yao, and ask him to prepare a camel caravan in advance. This time, I will go to the Western Regions and pass through the Gobi and desert. It is impossible to go without camels. I have to discuss with Tuyuhun. , Let them also cooperate and find some guides who are familiar with the desert environment."

Pei Linzhi nodded: "Okay."

Xiao Yu also said: "After the spring of next year, let's start rebuilding the Chang'an palace and try to move the capital to Chang'an as soon as possible."

With Ji Shan running this trip, the national treasury will be filled a lot, and there will be money to repair the palace.

Since we want to unify the world, we can't be partial to the south of the Yangtze River. Besides, Jianye has never had the temperament of being the capital of a great dynasty since ancient times. No matter how you look at it, the capital must be moved.
