The most arrogant in history

Chapter 828 Qingling Terrace.

Gu Liuguang nodded and continued:

"During the Warring States Period, King Kang of Song was a heavy drinker and a womanizer. Under King Kang of Song, there was a servant named Han Ping. Han Ping's wife, He, was extremely beautiful and King Kang of Song fell in love with her.

King Kang of Song arrested Han Ping and his wife He, and built the Qingling Terrace to imprison He. He would rather die than obey, so she wrote the song "The Song of the Crow and Magpie" and then hanged herself to show her determination. Therefore, this song is also called "The Song of the Crow and Magpie in Qingling".

Ye Kun nodded repeatedly: "The loyalty of the He family will be remembered forever. By the way, where is the original site of this Qingling Terrace? We can restore it to commemorate the He family."

Gu Liuguang was stunned and shook her head, saying, "Your Majesty, I only know that the former site of the Song Kingdom is in the area of ​​Shangqiu and Xiangcheng, but I don't know where Qingling Terrace is. I have little education and am unable to verify it."

"You've read a lot."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "I will entrust someone else to investigate the Qingling Terrace. Anyway, I want to give He a memorial so that everyone will remember such a loyal person."

Ye Weiwei suddenly chuckled: "Father, Mother, let Pei Guoming do the work of rebuilding Qingling Terrace."

After listening to "The Song of the Crow", Ye Weiwei already understood.

I understood more clearly the painstaking efforts of my father and mother, and suddenly everything became clear.

As a woman, He was able to remain loyal and unyielding without fear of power. However, as a man, Pei Guoming was fickle and would rather break off the engagement than not get close to the royal family. He is really not a good person!

Jiang Yourong and Ye Kun smiled at each other: "Okay, we will listen to our daughter this time."

Ye Weiwei was cheerful by nature. Once she figured things out, she stopped worrying about it and apologized to Gu Liuguang: "Liuguang, I was wrong just now. I shouldn't have been so mean to you. Thank you for playing the piano for me."

Gu Liuguang hurriedly returned the greeting: "Princess, you are too kind."

Ye Kun and Jiang Yourong nodded together and left hand in hand.

The next morning, Pei Guoming received an order to return to the former site of the State of Song to look into the story of Han Ping's wife He and rebuild Qingling Terrace and the ancestral hall of the chaste woman Liu.

Ye Weiwei also adjusted her mood and visited the city of Yanran with great interest together with Gu Liuguang.

Ye Kun was also in a meeting, listening to work reports from the officials in charge of Yanran City.

According to the work report, the entire North Country has turned losses into profits.

Although the imperial court sent a large amount of grain, dried vegetables, salt, ironware, porcelain, cotton clothes, etc., more cattle, sheep, horses, wool and dairy products were brought back from the north.

Ye Kun was very pleased and said with a smile: "In the past, the prairie controlled by the Xiongnu was the biggest threat to our Chinese Nine Provinces. We had to exchange peace through marriage and gifts.

Now there are no Huns, and the prairie has become our Chinese territory. The cattle, sheep and horses on the prairie are all our wealth. Everyone here should treat the prairie as their home and continue to work hard to make the prairie develop better. "

Ye Qingshan said:

"The agriculture in the north is very poor. We have to rely on the imperial court for food, dried vegetables, tea and many other things. Some soldiers and civilians are worried that if the imperial court cuts off the supply to the north, we will starve.

Therefore, we still need to build some farms here to increase food production and reassure everyone.

In addition, the population of Yanran City has been increasing in recent years, and it is time to distribute some of it to other places. We should encourage everyone to learn the nomadic life of the Xiongnu people, go to more distant places, and develop animal husbandry. "

Ye Kun nodded: "I understand what you mean. A large number of people and a large number of cattle, sheep and horses gathered in the city of Yanran will cause resource shortages and ecological crises here.

To put it bluntly, there is not enough water and grass to feed so many cattle, sheep, soldiers and civilians."

Ye Qingshan smiled and said, "Your Majesty is right, that's what I meant. But some of our Han people don't dare to go too far to graze, for fear of encountering the remaining Xiongnu."

Ye Kun asked: "Are there any remaining Huns now?"

"The grassland is too big, and there are still some Huns." Ye Qingshan paused, pointed at the map and said:

"The great city of Yanran stretched out a line from east to west. South of this line, there were basically no Xiongnu people. But in the vast area north of this line, there were still some Xiongnu people.

We have a dozen small towns and dozens of guard posts in the north of this line, all the way to the Beihai Lake Camp. But compared to the vast grassland, this number of people is still too small. Even if we patrol non-stop every day, it is impossible to control the entire grassland. "

Ye Kun thought about it and pointed at the map:

"South of the line you drew, there are millions of square kilometers. And this place is also suitable for grazing. Further north, the conditions are harsh and no longer suitable for human development. We should encourage everyone to graze in these places.

As for the areas north of this line, we can organize light cavalry to patrol from time to time. If we find the Huns, we will move them to the interior. We cannot be lenient and cannot let them grow stronger.

When we Han people go to the north to graze, we can go as a family, or several households can unite together, carry weapons, and have the ability to defend ourselves.

In the past, many Xiongnu herdsmen also moved together as tribes.”

There are no good pastures north of the Yanran City.

The best pastures for the Xiongnu were in the Yanzhi Mountains, the Qilian Mountains, and the Hetao Plain.

And these places have now become mainland China.

Ye Qingshan nodded: "In the past, Marshal He often led his troops out to thresh the straw. Marshal He went on an expedition and took most of the troops with him. In the past two years, we have not had any large-scale threshing operations."

"Threshing straw?"

Ye Kun couldn't help but laugh.

In the past, the Huns went south to plunder, which was called threshing grass.

Now, the Han people came to the grassland and started threshing the straw in reverse.

Ye Qingshan couldn't help but smile and said, "We will continue to search the prairie according to the emperor's order and send the remaining Huns and other nomads to the interior."

Ye Kun nodded: "Only us Han people can live in this vast grassland, no one else. Otherwise, we will become a threat to the Huaxia people in the future."

Everyone nodded together.

The agricultural official in charge of the Northern Kingdom reported to Ye Kun:

"Two hundred miles north of the city of Yanran, there is a big river called Hunhe. The Hunhe Valley is huge and has a lot of land that can be developed. We have measured it and it is about tens of millions of acres of land.

If a large farm is built in the Hunhe River Valley, it will be enough to feed all the people in northern Xinjiang.

Here, we can only plant one crop a year. We can plant barley and potatoes as staple food, beets as sugar crops, and sunflowers as oil crops. If this area is well developed, the court will not need to transport food to the north. "

Ye Kun was delighted when he heard this: "Since there is such a good place, don't hesitate and develop it into a large farm directly. However, it must be scientifically surveyed and planned to achieve sustainable development."
