Mao Jieyi has been busy enough, and has been generating new coins at full speed recently.
Xu Ding said: "Don't worry, there is no emergency, there is no war, I came here to let you taste the fruits."
After speaking, Xu Ding clapped his hands, and then ten personal guards moved all the fruits brought back to the house into the hall and placed them in front of everyone.
"Taste fruit?"
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, what is this?
But when the ten guards put the fruit out, they were confused.
What are these... are these... fruits?
This season, why...how...will there still be fruit?
There are many, many types, which seem very attractive and delicious.
"Come on, I'll teach you how to eat them, and I'll teach you their names by the way!"
Then, under Xu Ding's demonstration, everyone finally knew what these fruits were called and how to eat them.
At first the four of them were a little reserved, but then they all ate ugly until they were full.
"Delicious, so delicious, my lord, these fruits are so delicious."
One day I will be captured by fruits. It is a great joy in life to eat so many delicious fruits this season.
Guo Jia hugged an open coconut, sucked it clean, hiccupped, still clinging to it reluctantly and said: "My lord, this coconut milk is good..."
Xu Ding didn't eat too much, just picked up a few mangosteens and grapes, and asked with a smile: "Are you full, are you refreshing?"
The crowd nodded.
"That's good! Now let's talk about these fruits. I picked them on a mountain in the central and western part of the island. I call the mountain Huaguoshan. There are thousands of flowers and fruit trees on the mountain. They are in seasons. Ji, everything from north to south, from east to west is stored in this mountain, and the magic of the mountain has not yet been discovered, so I want to send troops to surround and seal it." Xu Ding simply said out of Huaguo Mountain.
The four of them suddenly realized that all these fruits came from a strange place called Huaguo Mountain.
With such a magical place, a ban is necessary to protect it, and at the same time prevent it from being trampled and damaged.
But Mao Jie was the most puzzled.
When did the Midwest have such a mountain? Could it be that Xu Ding left the city to find Huaguo Mountain a few days ago.
He hasn't returned to the city for a few days, no one knows better than him, after all, he is in charge of the island now.
"This mountain, after the ban, should be used. All kinds of fruit trees on the mountain should be selected for planting in our jurisdiction and some seedlings should be planted. I hope that our people will be able to eat these delicious fruits in the future. In this way You are in full charge of farming, and you can also reclaim arable land on Huaguo Mountain and conduct experiments on rice and wheat, and the special climate there should be more conducive to your improvement and cultivation of crops."
It seems that Huaguoshan is not affected by the four seasons. Xu Ding thinks that it should be more convenient to cultivate seeds, so let Zaoyi follow up, and it is best to move the test base there.
Zaozhi said: "It's my lord, I'll take someone over to have a look later!"
With a treasure land like Huaguo Mountain, he naturally couldn't wish for it, and wished he could fly over there immediately.
"Don't worry, the mountain can't escape there." Xu Ding continued:
"There are many flowers, plants and vines on the mountain. I believe there are many that can be used as medicine. I plan to let Mr. Hua and Mr. Zhongjing also temporarily transfer back to study the pharmacology of those herbs, and make a registration. Xiaoxian will try his best to cooperate with them , You need people to give, you need money to allocate funds, no matter how much you need, you don’t have to be strict.”
Mao Jie was in charge of the money bag, everyone laughed, everyone knew that he was very tight, and everyone usually complained a lot.
Chapter 346
Mao Jie took the order: "It's my lord. I will try my best to satisfy them. Now we are not short of money, and they can't spend our money bank."
Qian Zhuang is timid, and now he keeps making new money. Come on, you spend faster or I create faster, and Mao Jie people have become rich.
"By the way, I'm setting the tone. Now that the war has just ended, the development plan in the future is to be rich! To be rich! To expand the road; to be strong! To be strong! To have children and plant trees; to be strong! To be strong! To raise livestock; To grow! To grow! Train troops and prepare food." Xu Ding stood up and shouted sonorously.
A good one wants to be rich!Be rich!Xiu Qiao expands the road.
A better one is stronger!Be strong!Give birth to a baby and plant a tree.
A good one needs to be strong!Be strong!Livestock farming.
What a long one!To grow!Train troops and prepare food.
If you want to be rich, you must first practice running, and if you are rich, you must become strong. Why become strong and make babies and make people, and a strong foundation will be built for a prosperous population.
If there are people, they should be raised to be strong. If they eat more meat, they will grow strong. If there is no meat, they should raise more pigs, chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep.
If you want long-term stability, you must have food in your heart and a strong army.
Not only the standing army, but also the militia, and the armed forces of the whole people are the foundation of a country.
Before the Tang Dynasty, all the regimes in China were actually armed by the whole people. As long as they were men, they were soldiers. In case of war, they would be drafted into the army. This is stipulated by the law.
Therefore, many people in later generations can't understand why in the Qin and Han Dynasties and even the Shang, Zhou, Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, in Chinese historical records, hundreds of thousands of troops fought every battle in a battle.
They all think it is unreal, this is a fictitious number, only a few tens of thousands of people will fight in a match in later generations, and it will be considered astonishing if it reaches one hundred thousand.
It feels like bragging that such a large army can be fought in ancient wars, especially Westerners don't believe it at all.
But this is the fact, because at this time Huaxia has a population advantage that other regions cannot match. If you draw a team and rule 10 people, you can draw as few as [-] and as many as [-] to [-] soldiers.
You say that we don’t have a million-strong army, and you say that we are still a fiction, but you don’t know the laws at the time and the actual situation.
Therefore, the word deserter originally refers to avoiding military disasters and military service.
Everyone understood Xu Ding's meaning, and then went down to continue the work.
"Xiao stay here first, I have one more thing to tell you."
Everyone got up and left, Xu Ding called Mao Jie to stop, Mao Jie stayed, and when everyone left, Xu Ding said: "This is the first filial piety, I am going to implement the system of universal education in one county, one island, and one state, and at the same time All elementary schools are free, so that all school-age children in the three places can be included in all items, so as to open up people's wisdom and read and write."
Popularizing elementary school is a good thing!
Of course Mao Jie did not object, on the contrary, he supported it.
It's just that it's all free, which would cost a lot, so I understand Xu Ding's purpose of leaving him alone.
"My lord, if you really want everything to be free, isn't it a bit too big?" Mao Jie asked after thinking about it.
"Not much, it's just elementary school. If it wasn't for fear of too few teachers, I would like to popularize higher education institutions." Xu Ding popularized elementary school very early.
It's just that he doesn't have so many teachers and financial resources.
The previous money was naturally used for military and development first, and it was impossible to invest too much in education, so the priority was to benefit higher-level education. Of course, under his intentional authorization, a large number of teachers were reserved and trained at the same time.
Now with these teachers, they can be sent to various places to spread their branches and leaves.
