Chapter 1007

In the inner house, the empress changsun is accompanying Princess Changle to speak self-conscious words, but Princess Changle's mind is involuntarily placed outside. Her daughter is often around and suddenly held out. She can't rest assured and can't help looking out.

"Don't worry, with Merton and your father and emperor, you have nothing to worry about." empress changsun looked at her absent-minded daughter and naturally knew that Princess Changle was thinking of becoming a mother at the beginning, so she couldn't help teasing.

"A group of big men have thick hands and feet. What if they hurt their daughter? Liu e, go and have a look." the princess of Changle was restless and stretched out her hand to order Liu E.

"Yes! Princess!"

Liu e was ordered to leave. After a while, she hurried back with a happy face and reported: "Congratulations, princess. Your majesty has personally granted the lady Princess and a fief."

"Fief!" Princess Changle was surprised and looked up at the motionless empress changsun. Then she suddenly realized that her mother had already known about it.

Liu e nodded and said, "childe Xiao proposed to seal the lady's land in Songjiang mansion, and the master of Zheng proposed to seal the lady's land in the grassland."

"Go and see if it's in the South or the North!" Princess Changle couldn't help but wonder.

Liu e soon left and hurried back to report: "back to the princess, mohou chose the north."

"The north is OK. With 10000 hectares of grassland, it's just like grazing cattle and making milk powder." Princess Changle nodded, which was almost the same as what she thought in her heart.

Liu e's face was strange and said, "Princess Hui, what mohou chose was not a million hectares of grassland, but a million hectares of desert."

"A million hectares of desert." in an instant, even the empress Chang sun, who was not surprised by honor or disgrace, lost her voice and exclaimed.

Million hectares, or desert! Either one is unbelievable, but the Mo family chose both at the same time.

As Liu e explored again, Merton's plan to control the desert came little by little until Liu e held Martha and put her in the arms of Princess Changle. The mother and daughter were still in a dream.

"Martha!"

"Princess Jinsha!"

"What a blessed child."

The eldest grandson looked at the sleeping Martha and couldn't help smiling. With such a father, her granddaughter is probably the happiest person in the world.

With the end of the banquet of the eldest daughter of the Mohist family, the name of Jinsha Princess Mosha spread all over Chang'an City in an instant.

"A million hectares of land!"

"Desert turns green."

As the hot news spread out, Chang'an city was boiling again in an instant.

"A million hectares of land is probably the princess with the most land in history." many people smacked.

More people said coldly, "don't say it's a princess. Even princesses of all dynasties don't have so many fiefs."

A million hectares of land is so vast that it is almost equivalent to a vassal, but it is in the hands of a baby who has just reached the full moon.

"What about a million hectares? What can you do if you seal the 800 mile vast sea in the western regions? What really shocked the world was the crazy plan of Mohist school to turn the desert into green space, which was even crazier than a madman." a scholar still couldn't believe it.

"If others say so, they must be regarded as crazy, but for Mohists, it is not an impossible miracle," a merchant firmly said.

After all, the miracles created by mojiazi have long been unknown. Although it is difficult to control the Maowusu Desert, as for mojiazi, the desert has just formed, but there is a lot of precipitation. It is the easiest desert to control. In addition, mojiazi regards the Maowusu Desert as his daughter's fief, It also makes the world believe that mojiazi must have the secret skill of controlling the desert.

"It's a million hectares of desert, not a small sand pile. Maybe Mozi can plant several trees in the desert, but it's a dream to turn this million hectares of sand into an oasis." more people doubt that Mozi's move is beyond their imagination, and it's no wonder they are difficult to accept it.

"Mo boy, you really have the secret skills to control the desert!" Su Lingnong, the big Si Nong, said impatiently in the Mo house. Now the land boundary of the Tang Dynasty is not only the ancient city of Yulin, which is threatened by wind and sand. For a long time, farming has made desertification very serious. Coupled with the continuous invasion of the desert, from the perspective of farmers, let alone controlling the desert, Even if we can trap the desert and make it no longer expand, it is already a great achievement, let alone turn the vast desert into green space.

Merton nodded and said, "all this needs the help of the farmers."

Su Lingnong couldn't help laughing bitterly and said, "mohou really thinks highly of the farmers. If the farmers really have a way, they won't sit back and watch the Maowusu Desert grow from scratch."

"The premise of controlling the desert is that you can't overgraze and reclaim around Yulin, otherwise the Mu Us desert will be a lesson, and everything the Mohists have done will come to naught, which still needs the coordination of Lord su." Merton solemnly said. Su Lingnong is in charge of the Si Nong temple and has a decisive influence on agriculture. With the coordination of the Si Nong temple, the overgrazing situation in Yulin area can certainly be improved.

Su Lingnong nodded slowly and said, "it should be so. I will make the Si Nong Temple focus on Yulin County and certainly not let the remaining grassland continue to desertification."

Merton nodded with satisfaction and continued: "as long as there is no over reclamation, it is not difficult to control the desert. It is nothing more than windbreak, sand fixation and grass planting. The real difficulty is the huge amount of work, and the speed of control usually can not keep up with the speed of wind and sand damage."

"Windbreak, sand fixation and grass planting! Please help me!" Su Lingnong bowed to ask for advice.

"The reason why the desert is constantly eroding is that the strong northwest wind is constantly blowing the sand south. If you want to control the desert, you must widely plant trees, stop the wind and fix the sand dunes. Only in this way can you plant grass and restore the green space." Merton solemnly said.

Su Lingnong shook his head and said, "everyone knows the truth, but it is difficult to implement it. The desert is deserted, extremely dry, there is no water, no grass, let alone planting trees."

Merton smiled mysteriously, "who says there are no trees in the desert."

Su Lingnong thought intently and said in his heart, "is it Populus euphratica, Salix, cactus and other plants that Marquis mohou said?"

Populus euphratica and Salix psammophila are common plants in the desert. The trees are tall and extremely dry. If they are widely planted, they may have miraculous effects, and it is not difficult for farmers who control the method of seedling cultivation.

Merton nodded and said, "Populus euphratica and Salix psammophilus are indeed sharp tools for controlling the desert. However, what makes Mo's heart move is another kind of tree, Haloxylon ammodendron."

"Shuttle tree!" Su Lingnong couldn't help but be stunned. After thinking for a long time, he remembered the humble little tree in the agricultural book in his mind.

"Yes! If you want to manage the desert well, the Haloxylon tree is the top priority." Merton said.

"What is the magic of this tree?" asked Su Lingnong.

Merton laughed and couldn't help thinking of the later experience of stealing energy in the middle of the night just to plant a Haloxylon tree in the desert. Now he knew the way like the back of his hand: "First, one of the miracles of Haloxylon ammodendron. In its seeds, Haloxylon ammodendron seeds germinate the fastest in the world and have the shortest survival time. It only lasts two hours, but as long as you give it a little water, it will immediately sprout and grow deep roots."

"How amazing!" Su Lingnong said in surprise.

"This is only one of them. Second, in order to survive in the desert, the Haloxylon ammodendron has extremely developed roots. A small Haloxylon ammodendron is only one foot high, but its roots can reach as much as ten feet, and the sand fixation effect is excellent."

Su Lingnong was a little confused. According to Merton, this Haloxylon tree is indeed extraordinary, but the desertification control effect is not much different from that of Salix psammophila.

"Third, Haloxylon ammodendron has a more magical place, that is, its developed root system will be accompanied by a precious traditional Chinese medicine, Cistanche deserticola," Merton solemnly said.

"Desert ginseng, Cistanche deserticola!" Su Lingnong said in surprise. He had heard of Cistanche deserticola.

Merton nodded and said, "yes, it's the so-called place of fortune and misfortune. It is precisely because the Haloxylon tree is accompanied by such precious medicinal materials that the Haloxylon tree is destroyed. In order to get the Cistanche deserticola, greedy herdsmen directly dig out all the roots of the Haloxylon tree, take away the Cistanche deserticola, and let the Haloxylon tree wither and die."

"Sure enough, as Marquis Mo said, the spread of the desert is indeed a man-made disaster!" Su Lingnong sighed.

"However, if Mo Hou wants to widely plant Haloxylon ammodendron, aren't you afraid of the same experience?"

Merton shook his head and said: "The ultimate goal of Mohism is not Cistanche deserticola, but Haloxylon ammodendron for sand fixation and wind prevention. Mohism will widely plant Haloxylon ammodendron in Maowusu Desert, and then cultivate it manually through farmhouse cultivation. For the benefit of Cistanche, Mohism does not want it, but can give it to herdsmen. However, herdsmen can't stop fishing. After digging Cistanche, they need to leave roots so that they can be harvested in the coming year. At the same time, they should also be responsible for maintaining the Haloxylon ammodendron The obligation of the shuttle tree. Some people in Lord Su don't know that if a shuttle tree is properly maintained, it can survive for 100 years, and Cistanche deserticola can also harvest for 100 years. "

"Misfortune is a blessing. The Haloxylon ammodendron tree suffered a great misfortune because of Cistanche deserticola. Now, due to the hand of marquis Mo, this misfortune has been transformed into a blessing. On the contrary, Haloxylon ammodendron tree has survived for a hundred years because of Cistanche deserticola. In this way, the desert has been afforested, the herdsmen have a harvest, and will no longer destroy the desert. Instead, they will take the initiative to plant and maintain Haloxylon trees. It's amazing. Marquis Mo, please accept the old man's advice "I'll worship you," Su Lingnong exclaimed.

Merton quickly turned sideways and said, "Lord Su praised me. This is not Merton's plan, but the amazing idea of the Mohist predecessors. I'm just picking up people's wisdom."

"Su admired the wisdom of Mohism." Su Lingnong sighed.

Merton arched his hand and said, "everything still needs the cooperation of farmers. We still need to bother farmers to cultivate Haloxylon ammodendron seedlings and Cistanche deserticola."

Su Lingnong said solemnly, "this is the honor of the farmer!"

This time, Su Lingnong really determined that it was not vain to govern the Mu Us Desert according to the method of Mohism.
