Chapter 886: The reign title is equal to the national development plan!
The reign title was first created by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. It is used to record years and has a strong connection with politics. The attitude of the court or the emperor towards the politics of the world can be seen through the reign title.
Changing the reign title was a very common behavior in the Han Dynasty. Each emperor of the Han Dynasty had more than a dozen reign titles. There was also Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, who used fourteen reign titles alone, and Wu Zetian also used thirteen reign titles.
In the Han Dynasty, the reign title was generally changed every four to six years, which was a bit like the modern five-year development plan. Every time a stage of the plan was completed, or every major event occurred, the emperor could change the reign title. It was not like the Ming and Qing Dynasties, when the emperor used the same reign title for his whole life. In the end, the reign title even became a synonym for the emperor, such as Emperor Yongle and Emperor Chongzhen.
The current situation of the Han tribe also belongs to this. The external expansion of the Han tribe has fallen into a bottleneck. For the time being, there is no spare energy to expand outward. It is better to take this time and opportunity to consolidate the internal affairs.
When everyone saw Luo Chong suddenly proposed to change the reign title, they all looked puzzled. The previous reign title Jianyuan had only been used for four years and was working well now. Why did it suddenly change?
Luo Chong did not expect them to understand the meaning of that sentence, so he took the initiative to explain.
"Storage is the life of the world!
" This sentence means that storing food and materials is the lifeline of the country, the lifeline of the people's survival, and the mission of a leader and his subjects.
A country without nine years of reserves is said to be insufficient, without six years of reserves is said to be urgent, and without three years of reserves, it is not a country. If
a tribe's material reserves are not enough for nine years, it is not rich enough, if it is not enough for six years, it will be urgent, and if it is not enough for three years, then the tribe is basically finished. If it encounters a little bit of a big thing, such as a war or a disaster, the tribe will not be able to take out the savings and will immediately fall into a financial crisis and a food crisis. "
Luo Chong paused and continued, "When you were small tribes before you joined the Han tribe, each tribe had the tradition of storing food and furs. Some were to deal with possible crises, and some were simply to survive the cold winter. I believe everyone has experienced and understood this.
Now that the Han tribe has grown, this tradition cannot be abandoned. Instead, it should be carried forward and made larger."
"We have just discussed this. The development of the tribe is now in a bottleneck period. We are unable to continue to expand outward, but we can consolidate ourselves.
I plan to propose a new development plan starting next year. The theme is two words - storage.
The most important thing is food, followed by cotton and cloth. We must first ensure that the people can eat well and wear warm clothes. However, due to the limited storage technology we have now, the initial goal I set is to store enough food and clothing to supply the entire tribe for five years in the next five to six years. "
Storing food is a strategic task for every country. Take Luo Chong's previous life as an example. The country's strategic food reserve system was prepared to deal with the situation of nuclear war. Even if the people of the country do not grow a single grain, it can meet the food needs of more than one billion people for eight years.
This is the lifeblood of a country.
The Han tribe does not have such high-tech CNC automated granaries now, but shelled grains such as rice, wheat, millet, yellow rice, and sorghum can be stored for five years if they are well preserved.
The storage time of corn is relatively shorter. In modern automated granaries, corn can be stored for three years. It is already very good for the Han tribe to store it for two years.
However, corn does not need to be stored for such a long time. Luo Chong does not even want to store corn at all. If there is too much corn, people can use it as feed to feed pigs if they can't finish it. After all, three pounds of corn grows one pound of pork!
Wouldn't it be better to turn corn into meat and enrich the people's side dishes? It is
also a good idea to let the people afford meat and eat more meat. A way to strengthen the country, at least the average physique of the people should be better, right? Only when the nutrition intake is enough can they grow taller.
In summary, from a technical point of view, the Han tribe can store up to five years of strategic reserve grain to deal with various possible crises.
The ancients said that Yu had nine years of floods, Tang had seven years of drought, and the country was destroyed and the poor were prepared in advance because of the accumulation of livestock.
During the time of Tang Yao and Xia Yu, there were nine years of floods, and there was also a seven-year drought during the time of Shang Tang, but there were no abandoned or emaciated people in the country. This was because there were enough stored materials and they were prepared to deal with disasters in advance.
Luo Chong had the same idea. This time, the attack on the Xin tribe consumed a lot. Now there is no extra population to continue to expand outward. It is better to take advantage of these years to store more food and materials.
You can't just do nothing and wait for the people to make people, right?
Obviously, there is no fool among the people sitting there. When Luo Chong talked about the new future development plan, everyone expressed their support.
"It's a good idea, Chief. I agree to store food and other materials. Not just food and cotton, but also meat, salt and sugar." She Xin was the first to express his opinion.
"That's right, we were just talking about increasing production capacity after popularizing trains in mines. Steel, as one of the most important materials, should also be stored more, so that if we encounter a situation where we can't continue mining and iron smelting, we will have enough iron to use." Dali also expressed his opinion.
Just as Luo Chong said just now, whether it is the veterans of the Han tribe or those who joined the Han tribe later, who has not had a hard life?
Apart from other things, in the northern region of the Han tribe, storing a lot of food in autumn for the winter is already the norm, okay?
Even if the people of the Han tribe don't have to worry about food now, they still store enough meat and pickles in advance every autumn to survive the winter.
After all, there are no greenhouses now. If you don't store pickled pickles in advance in winter, you can only have rice with meat soup every day in winter.
"We in Dongxin County must also support it. When the plan starts next year, we will not only meet the needs of the expansion of the Xingang County Steel Plant, but also store more coal for the consumption of running trains in the future." Jing Yan also immediately raised his hand to support it.
"Chief, since we want to store grain, we must adjust the proportion of crop varieties in various places. For example, we can reduce the planting area of corn, because corn is not resistant to storage, and then expand the planting scale of rice, millet, and wheat. Plant more grains with shells, which will help us achieve our goals as soon as possible."
Yun Zhi of Ruyang County naturally expressed his support, but his speech was more pragmatic. He started directly from the aspect of adjusting the types of grain. This was a very good suggestion, and Luo Chong immediately agreed.
"That's right, we must not only adjust the planting ratio of crop varieties in various places, but also build large-scale strategic reserve granaries in various places. The initial goal is to have one in each county. If it is not enough, we will continue to build it later.
Then there is the problem that Dali and Jing Yan just talked about. Storage is not just about storing grain and cotton. We also need to accumulate other things.
For example, steel, coal, rubber, these industrial material reserves, and other things such as tung oil, paint, and hemp.
In addition, we also need to reserve livestock.
But this has little to do with you people. Starting next year, the flood on our grassland will The three counties of the lake should also start to expand the scale of breeding of various livestock, more sheep, more oxen, more war horses and draft horses.
In general, as long as we can use it in daily life and can store it, we should store it.
After a few years, when we have enough strategic reserve materials, no matter what we do, we will have enough confidence to deal with it. "
Everyone nodded after listening. Before, they had never seen the real train development plan, and they didn't know the importance of trains for land transportation, so they didn't have any idea in their minds. In addition, they didn't understand it very well, so they just followed what Luo Chong said.
But they understood storage. Who among the people sitting here had not experienced storage? Therefore, they all understood the importance of storage.
Whether it was a small tribe with hundreds or thousands of people in the past, or a Han tribe with a population of hundreds of thousands now, storage was actually the same, but it was more standardized and larger in scale.
And it was a unified and planned action in all tribes.
Luo Chong changed the reign title specifically for this five-year plan, which was enough to show his attention and attitude towards this matter. Reign
title, reign title, isn't it the best thing to reflect political attitude?
For example, Luo Chongqi's fate, and Showa of a certain island, finally got the nuclear power.
After determining the development plan for the next five years, everyone began to discuss the details of the task of storage.
Luo Chong also put forward his own purpose for this national policy. Grain storage is grain storage, but the development of industry should continue to develop, and the pace of the Han tribe climbing the technology tree should not be affected by grain storage.
However, in order to respond to the national policy, some adjustments should be made.
For example, Luo Chong proposed to promote the latest steam engine to the fields, deep wells should be dug in farmlands everywhere, and well houses should be built above the wells. Each well house should be equipped with a steam pumping and drainage equipment to prevent possible droughts or floods.
In this way, even if a drought occurs in a certain area, the Han tribe can use the wells scattered throughout the fields to extract groundwater to irrigate the grain fields, so as not to lose the harvest that year.
If this attitude is to be summarized in one sentence, it is "everything is based on agriculture and animal husbandry, and all industry serves agriculture."
Steam engines should be developed, but they must be used in agricultural projects first.
