Chapter 1097: Northern Desert Becomes the Territory of Dai Viet

The capital of the Northern Desert Kingdom fell, needless to say, the other cities were also captured. The Dai Viet Army quickly occupied all the Northern Desert cities.

All those vicious and evil Northern Desert dignitaries were caught. After taking a packet of medicine powder, they went from being the best of the best to being maggots among maggots, and spent the rest of their lives in extreme pain.

Once the Northern Desert is occupied, those mineral resources will belong to Dai Viet.

There are large amounts of iron ore, tungsten ore, copper ore, gold ore, silver ore, jade ore... The richness of mineral resources makes the Dai Viet people astonished.

This is indeed a country with extremely rich mineral resources, but unfortunately, it was ruined by a group of extremely corrupt people in power.

The Menghuo oil mine near the northern Xinjiang region has also been well developed.

Dai Viet sent troops to mine the Menghuo oil mines. Not only did the Dingbei Army and the Zheng Family Army stockpile a lot of it, but it was also transported to other border garrisons, greatly improving the Dai Viet Army's defensive and offensive capabilities and firmly guarding the Dai Viet borders.

The fall of the Northern Desert Kingdom also shocked the neighboring countries of Dai Viet. In the long years that followed, no country dared to provoke the Dai Viet Kingdom, which had become much stronger.

After Beimo was incorporated into Dai Viet, it became Beimo Prefecture, and the Dingbei Army was in charge of Beiguan City and Beimo Prefecture City.

Because the people of Beimo are naturally tall and strong, the Dingbei Army recruited many Beimo people into the army.

The people of the Northern Desert had long been oppressed and exploited by the powerful and wealthy in the Northern Desert. They finally had a chance to turn things around and were filled with gratitude towards Dai Viet.

Hearing that people from the Northern Desert could also join the army, everyone actively sent their own men to the barracks to defend their country.

The Northern Desert has been conquered, and the next step is to solve the people's livelihood issues.

Now is the hottest time in Beimo. Qiao Ran also realized that when Beimo is cold, it is freezing cold, and when it is hot, it is extremely hot.

I took out the thermometer from the space and saw that it was as high as 37 or 38 degrees. I heard that there were times in previous years when it was even hotter than this, so it should be around 40 degrees.

In a place where there are only two seasons a year, winter and summer, and the temperature difference is extremely large, very few crops can be grown.

Because it is difficult to grow crops in the Northern Desert, most people in the Northern Desert make a living by hunting and grazing.

That is why the powerful often sent people to the northern border to plunder, and even wanted to send troops to invade Dai Viet to seize Dai Viet’s land and resources.

Now that the Northern Desert has become the territory of Dai Viet, Dai Viet has the responsibility to feed the people of the Northern Desert.

Thinking of this, Qiao Ran went into the space and took a look, then selected some crops suitable for growing in the Northern Desert.

Based on the weather in the northern desert, she chose wheat and corn as food crops.

Cash crops include cotton, sugar beets, tomatoes, rapeseed, tobacco leaves, and medicinal herbs.

Fruits include cantaloupe, sea buckthorn, watermelon, grapes, figs, apricots, pomegranates, mulberries, walnuts, and dates.

Although some of the crops were already available in Beimo, she still took out seeds and saplings from the space that she had watered with spiritual spring water. The spiritual spring water can greatly increase the yield and disease resistance of these crops.

Give the seeds and seedlings to Huang Dabiao and ask him to send people to distribute them and plant these crops in Northern Xinjiang and Northern Desert. I believe that in a few years, the food shortage problem in Northern Xinjiang and Northern Desert will be solved.

After staying in Beimo for a few more days, enjoying the scenery of Beimo and collecting many medicinal herbs and dozens of barrels of kerosene into the space, Qiao Ran and Mo Beihan followed Zheng's army back to Beijing.

The Zheng family army used to be stationed in the remote and impoverished Qingzhou Prefecture. Now that General Zheng is old and the Zheng family army has made so many great contributions, the emperor sent the Zheng family army to garrison in Luoyang Prefecture, which is closest to Zhongzhou.

Luoyang Prefecture's superior geographical location makes it the most prosperous prefecture in Dai Viet except Zhongzhou. Being stationed there, living conditions will be much better, and the old general can also return to the capital frequently to reunite with his family.

Qiao Ran also had a plan in mind. She planned to open a Shenxian Valley supermarket in Luoyang City and sell the grains, fruits, medicinal herbs, etc. produced in Shenxian Valley to Luoyang.
