The ministers were very surprised by this.
The word returning farmland to forest is easy to explain, which means returning cultivated land to forest and returning it to nature, which is easy to understand.
However, these four words pay attention to agricultural production and eat enough, which can be described as quite politically incorrect. The one who comes out is the emperor who represents political correctness.
Chen Jichang, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, couldn’t help but get up and take the initiative to suggest.
"Returning farmland to forests … this policy may be too shocking. If it is publicly announced, it may cause an uproar against the country. Please think twice."
Chapter 63 Must ask the poets for something.
Controversy is certain, but an uproar is not.
Su Yonglin thinks like this
On the one hand, the area of returning farmland to forests is limited, and on the other hand, there is no problem in trying to force this policy.
In the so-called uproar, it was probably the Confucian ministers who advised the emperor to use exaggerated rhetoric.
For example, if the emperor built a palace, people’s livelihood would be ruined …
Su Yonglin is very unhappy with such rhetorical devices.
"What an uproar?"
Su Yonglin shook his head and said, "If the vegetation on both sides of the Yellow River cannot be restored, the Middle Earth will be continuously brought to Henan, Hebei and Shandong, and the river beds will be higher and higher!
The higher the riverbed, the more the river will flood and burst, and more and more coastal production will be destroyed. The grain will be cut off and people will die. Chen Shilang, I ask you, is it terrible to return farmland to forests or the Yellow River burst? "
Su Yonglin put two options in front of Chen Jichang. Chen Jichang thought for a while and really didn’t know how to choose. He thought both options were terrible.
One will directly kill people, and the other will probably cause social unrest.
"I’m afraid it’s neither of them. It’s terrible that people want to see the Yellow River burst, but people who lose their farming land will panic."
He can say that.
Su yonglin still shook his head
"Returning farmland to forests is still limited. If the cultivated land of the people involved can be compensated elsewhere, the state will give compensation for how much farmland will be returned at that time. The court can pay for the land and move the Chinese people to a vast and sparsely populated area."
Su Yonglin announced his compensation policy.
Don’t force the situation, be willing to return farmland to forestry university and never let you suffer.
After several years of war and agrarian revolution, a large number of landlords and nobles lost their lives, which made Su Yonglin hold a large number of idle land. Now he is actively promoting the land distribution in the construction of new countryside.
Taking this opportunity, if we can move some of the middle-aged residents away from China, it is also feasible to save the fragile ecosystem.
Chen Jichang knew about the middle curtain and how much good land the court had, so he was silent for a while.
"Although the imperial court can allocate land and money, as the saying goes, people are homesick and unwilling to leave their hometown suddenly, and people may not want to move. I am afraid that not many people will want to go if it is not compulsory. If it is compulsory, it will lead to boiling public resentment."
"I know. I know everything."
Su Yonglin sighed and said, "We should study what to do and how to persuade more Chinese people to leave you. I know it is difficult to do so, but I hope you understand."
We should have a concept that a piece of land can grow a limited amount of food and feed people, and some places can destroy forests and others can’t.
It is no longer the land of abundance, and it can no longer bear too many people. If we continue to go, the soil will become more and more barren, and the grain output will become lower and lower. We will destroy the future generations of the Zhonghe Central Plains alive, and we will all be reviled by future generations. "
The disaster of destroying the Central Plains was reviled by future generations.
This statement is too heavy.
There are very few ministers, such as Tian Jue, who has been following Su Yonglin, who have such a concept that they know the impact of soil erosion and ecological environment destruction on agricultural production.
Most people don’t have the concepts of environmental protection and soil erosion, and they don’t know much about this aspect, even if they know something, they are in a state of knowing but not knowing.
Su Yonglin intends to make up a missed lesson for court officials after this incident, and all officials must attend environmental protection courses to formally introduce the concept of environmental protection agriculture production.
Nowadays, soil erosion and land salinization in the Central Plains are no small matter, and the ecological environment in the central region is far less than that in the past.
A thousand years ago, no one paid attention to environmental protection and rough cultivation, so a thousand years later, they needed what their predecessors had paid for.
If they don’t pay attention to continuing rough cultivation now, then in a thousand years, future generations will have to pay for what they did a thousand years ago.
"I mean, how difficult it is must be pushed forward as a national policy, but it can be implemented slowly. Even if some people think for a long time, there will be immediate worries. Now, if the Yellow River floods, wouldn’t it be a thousand times more difficult to give relief to Zeguo? What do you say? "
Su Yonglin looked around the ministers.
The ministers still don’t know what connection environmental protection has with the Yellow River breach, but many of them have heard of or seen the terrible situation after the Yellow River flooded and nodded involuntarily.
They feel that returning farmland to forests is not pleasant to say, but it is better than the real breach of the Yellow River.
The Yellow River burst will die, and many people will have a huge wave, which will deal a heavy blow to the national economy. If they do not support the emperor’s practice, they can imagine that the emperor will be angry once the Yellow River burst occurs.
If the emperor says that the practice can really consolidate the soil, it will certainly reduce the flood of the Yellow River. Even if it can’t, it will be the emperor’s own mistake. He will be embarrassed to break into a furious rage, and his ministers will be safe.
In this way, the ministers had no idea of resistance, so Su Yonglin insisted that the national policy of returning farmland to forests was passed by the court.
The imperial court will plan the implementation of this strategy, send people on-the-spot investigation and determine the way to do things with the least loss of strategic thinking in order to make the local people not feel too strongly disgusted.
The policy of returning farmland to forest was passed by the imperial court and is ready to be implemented, but the effect of the policy is slow, and this "standard" can not be ignored in this period
The Yellow River has to be dealt with after the diversion of the Fengdi River.
In this respect, we still have to pay a lot of manpower and material resources to strive for the return of the Yellow River to the old road of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and don’t torment the people of Huai and Huai again.
Su Yonglin asked water conservancy experts to jointly formulate measures to change the Yellow River back to its original course, no matter how difficult it is, no matter how much it costs, no matter how much manpower and material resources it needs, he will do it.
He will do whatever it takes to kill all the people in the Central Plains.
At this time, someone came out of the meeting. The Huaihe River basin is not ruled by a big country. Song Guozheng controls Huainan land in the south. If the Yellow River is well regulated here, wouldn’t it be beneficial for the Southern Song Dynasty?
