Chapter 63 Southern Plains
“Alien Castle Era ( to find the latest chapter!
After leaving Apocalypse City, Yang Song decided to continue marching south. Of course, none of the others followed Yang Song.
Apocalyptic City continues to the south, and it will enter the southern plain of the peninsula. The name here is the Southern Wasteland at the beginning.
The climate of the Southern Plains is a subtropical monsoon climate, coupled with the vast flat land and abundant water resources, this is a natural rice-growing area.
The rice here is harvested twice a year and supplied to all parts of Xia Country. The Southern Plains can be said to be a granary in Xia Country.
As for saying that this is a granary in Xia State, it is because the Linhai Basin in Guanzhong and outside Guan are both a granary in Xia State, but the types of grains supplied are somewhat different.
Because of its geographical location, wheat is grown outside Guan, and some fruits and vegetables are grown in Guanzhong. It can be said that each region has its own characteristics.
It’s not that these three regions only grow these crops, but also have other crops, but the scale is relatively small.
Moreover, there are separate developments according to the terrain, and many products with regional characteristics have been developed.
For example, there are tea fields on some high mountains, medicinal herbs in mountainous areas, fruit trees in hilly areas, grazing areas with abundant aquatic plants…
This time Yang Song decided to go south, just to see the paddy fields and pastures on the southern plain where Yuezhou is located.
…
About 50 kilometers from the south of Tianchuanguan to the south of Tianqi City belong to Qizhou, and the state city of Qizhou is Tianqi City.
Yang Song and his entourage left Kaizhou and arrived in Yuezhou. Yuezhou basically covers the entire southern plain, and is famous for its rice and pasture in Xia.
Just after crossing Mushou County in Qizhou and entering the territory of Yuezhou, Yang Song saw a boundless paddy field, shimmering and reflecting the scorching sun in the sky.
At this time, the rice seeds have already been sown. Only when the seedlings grow to about half a foot, they will enter the busy seedling planting season. Therefore, the current paddy field is just a paddy field without a single seedling.
But because of this, Yang Song clearly saw the criss-crossing ditches between the paddy fields. These ditches carried the water resources of the distant rivers to the paddy fields.
“It’s really magnificent.” Xun Yu looked at the vast paddy field in front of him and exclaimed: “This is Yumi Water Village, I think it was still a wasteland at the beginning.”
“Yes, there were originally some primitive savages here.” Yang Song nodded, recalling what happened before, and said: “At that time, those savages attacked us.”
As for the ending of these savages, there is no need for Yang Songming to say, everyone knows that they just disappeared on this land anyway.
“Hey ” Yang Song shook his head somehow when everyone was calm in this peaceful paddy field.
“Why is Tai Shang sighing?” Liu Ji saw Yang Song’s appearance. He was a little puzzled. It is reasonable to say that the paddy field in front of him belongs to their great achievements. They should be proud and proud. Why does Yang Song feel sorry?
Yang Song looked at the paddy field with no crops in front of him, and replied: “Unfortunately, I waited at no time. If I come here in the golden autumn season, I will smell the fragrance of rice flowers and see the rice stalks nodding. It looks like now, bare.
“The Taishang is very true.” After hearing why Yang Song felt sorry for him, everyone thought about how nice it would be to see patches of golden rice stilts in front of them.
“Haha ” Xun Yu chuckled lightly, and said, “It’s not necessary to do this. I haven’t seen it at this time. It’s okay to wait for another two months. These paddy fields won’t run away.”
“Wen Ruo is right, I will do it again when the rice is ripe.” Although Yang Song said so, he didn’t know how long he had left, and if he had a chance to do it again.
Yang Song’s trip this time, he wants to visit the huge country of Xia, but it can’t be done in one or two months, even if he is waiting for him to visit the entire country of Xia, is there another place waiting for him to go again? Once?
Yang Song and his entourage continued to move forward and continue to the south. Except for towns and villages, all they saw along the way were large and large paddy fields for several days.
If it hadn’t been for the fact that the direction he was going forward hadn’t changed, Yang Song would have thought that he had been circling on the spot for several days. There are too many paddy fields here!
“Wen Ruo, so many paddy fields have supplied most of Daxia’s food.” Yang Song knew that all of this was Xun Yu’s deeds.
Xun Yu nodded in agreement with this, and replied: “Yes, this is all based on the unified grain price policy formulated by Taishang at the time. It will not hurt the farmers because of the low price. Otherwise, I would not dare to develop on such a large scale. farmland.”
Regarding the unified food price, the imperial court purchases the people’s output at the market price and then transports it to various places for sale. Of course, there are huge profits in it, so private businessmen are also allowed to participate, but they are strictly controlled. .
If businessmen want to stock up on odds, raise food prices, or even local governments corrupt and collude with officials and businesses, then these people must be prepared for family destruction.
…
The weather became hotter as it went south, and the terrain also tended to rise. It was only at this time that Yang Song and the others walked out of the paddy field area and came to the pasture area in southern Yuezhou.
The terrain here is more ups and downs than in the northern part of Yuezhou. It is estimated that the cost of developing paddy fields is a bit high. Anyway, the water plants here are also very abundant, so it has been developed into a pasture.
Therefore, after Yang Song and the others entered this area, they looked around and saw horses, sheep, cattle…all kinds of livestock galloping in groups on this grassland.
On the other hand, the herders rode horses, wielded long whips to drive the animals, and graze them.
Here is the horse farm of Xia Country. Most of Xia Country’s war horses and horses are produced here, and many of the economically valuable livestock such as farm cattle, sheep, and dairy cows are produced here. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
It can be said that the pastures here provide most of the animal power for Xia Guo, and there are also many large animal meat products from here.
Unlike chicken farms, duck farms and other poultry farms that can be farmed anywhere, the farming of large-scale livestock requires a certain area of land.
Therefore, the grazing here is a sustainable plan, and scientific grazing allows the soil and water here to be well maintained, so as not to destructive grazing.
Thinking of the development of pastures, Yang Song thought of the new continent in the south, and he didn’t know whether grazing and planting could be carried out on that continent.
“Too great, it would be great if Xia Yuan Continent had also been developed.” Kai Lai Xun Yu thought about it with Yang Song at this time.
Yang Song glanced at Xun Yu, and after turning around, he replied: “This is not something we old men should worry about. Xia Yuan Continent should be left to future generations to develop.”
“That’s what I said.” Xun Yu returned to his senses and was a little surprised when Yang Song actually responded to his self-talk.
After walking through the southern pasture area of Yuezhou, there is a rainforest further south, which is still in a state of preliminary development.
There is a certain degree of difficulty in the development of the rain forest, because the extreme environment of the rain forest makes it difficult to move forward.
Even after so many years of hard work, only a few towns have been established in the border areas of the rainforest to collect special products in the rainforest.
If you want to continue development, it is not so easy.
And Yang Song remembers that the rain forest is called the lung of the planet, so it is still very difficult to develop the resources in the rain forest without destroying the rain forest.
Yang Song and the others walked to the edge of the rain forest. It can also be said that they have reached the southernmost point of the Xia Guo civilized area, and there is nothing to go further south.
