Iron Dynasty

PS: There is one more chapter.

The fragrance of the soil wafts wantonly in the spring breeze, the trees in the fields are full of chirping sparrows, and the beautiful pastoral scenery is unobstructed.

The three carefully watched the use of the grain drill before returning to the field with a smile.

Fiji asked at this time: His Royal Highness, what can this grain drill be able to grow?

Wheat, barley, sorghum, millet, beans, early rice, rapeseed, flax can all be used. Xiao Ming said, looking around the beautiful scenery.

Since he came to this world, he has never been so serious to appreciate the original scenery of this world. Now that he has solved the threat to the south, he can finally enjoy life in this world with peace of mind.

As for King Yan, King Zhao and King Liang are just meat on the chopping board to him, and when to cut it is only a matter of time.

So much. Fiji stroked his beard and narrowed his eyes with a smile.

First there were potatoes, then sweet potatoes. Now the emergence of seed drills has reduced the number of people needed to cultivate the land. The agriculture of the closed country is now booming. He believes that in a few years, the food of the closed country may not be enough.

Pang Yukun was happy in his heart, but he also thought of an important question, Your Highness, Wei has more people and less land, while Youzhou has fewer people and more land, so the amount of land allocated to each commoner will inevitably be different. Thinking about whether to send some people from the densely populated prefectures and counties to Youzhou?

Xiao Ming nodded: Pang Shoufu said what this king was thinking, but not everyone is willing to leave the country, Wei Di has just recovered, and people's hearts are still unstable at this time. This king thinks that it is better to introduce some policies that benefit the common people in densely populated prefectures and counties, for example, if you move to Youzhou, you can get compensation, and you can even allocate some more land.

Your Highness has thought about it carefully, this is a solution. Pang Yukun said.

Xiao Ming said: Youzhou is the second most important thing. This king is mainly worried about the land outside Shanhaiguan.

The land outside Shanhaiguan? Fiji looked confused.

This king has read a lot of history books these days, and found that the turmoil in the north for thousands of years has always been because even if the barbarians of the grasslands were driven away, the dynasties and dynasties did not send people to settle in this land. Xiao Ming said.

As the saying goes, the place you don't occupy will be occupied by others, and now the scourge of the grasslands in the north is thinking that this reason has never been cut off.

After leaving a steppe barbarian, the north will soon be occupied by another steppe tribe, and so on and so forth, the people of the Dayu Kingdom have never occupied the majority of this land.

Therefore, in Xiao Ming's view, the most important thing after defeating the barbarians is to move the Han people to this land to settle and breed, otherwise, within a few decades, another grassland tribe may rise.

After all, the land that is not dominated by the people of the Great Yu country will inevitably be occupied by aliens.

His Royal Highness, the north is bitterly cold, who would like to live in these barren places? Pang Yukun said a current fact.

Xiao Ming sighed and said, Forget it, this king only mentioned it. It may take some years to defeat the barbarians, but now you have to take this issue into your heart.

No way now does not mean that there is no way in the future. Next, he will encourage the people of Dayu to have more children. When the water tank is full, it will overflow. If the population is large, people will naturally be willing to settle in the north.

No longer mentioning this matter, Xiao Ming said: Now that you have a grain drill, you should also find a way to promote it to businessmen. It takes a lot of steel and manpower to manufacture this thing, and it is worth it if it can be sold at a good price. Establish a separate workshop for production.

Pang Yukun took the initiative to stop the matter, and he said, Your Highness, leave this matter to the next official. Elder Feige will definitely be very busy with Wei Di's affairs.

Fiji smiled. Although the two often argue because of different ideas, they have always cooperated well in government affairs.

The three of them walked towards the government office while talking. Now they just need to wait for the good news from the Nanzheng Army.

On March 6, Haizhou City,

The battle of Chuzhou was over, and Lu Fei led the army to the city of Haizhou in Wei. During this period, information from the Secret Guard kept coming. Just the day he guessed, the battle of Jinling City, the battle of Chuzhou, and the main force of Wei had already All were wiped out, and the remaining cities were just some remnants of defeated soldiers.

After the secret guard in the city reported that there were only 8,000 defenders in the city, he launched an attack, but the city of Haizhou was destroyed in just one day.

On March 9, after a three-day rest, the Nanzheng Army left 2,000 people in the city to maintain law and order and set off for Suzhou. On March 13, the city of Suzhou was captured.

At the same time, after leaving 10,000 people to guard Jinling City, Ye Qingyun led 20,000 people to Binzhou, which was only a day's journey away.

On March 14, Binzhou City was broken, and then on March 20, Shouzhou City was broken by Ye Qingyun.

The city of Sizhou was destroyed on March 25, the city of Taizhou was destroyed on April 2, and the city of Yaozhou was destroyed on April 10.

On April 20, Ye Qingyun led the Dengzhou army and Lu Fei to join forces under the city of Shouzhou. This city of Shouzhou was the last city in Wei, and if this city was captured, the entire territory of Wei would be included in the feudal kingdom.

Ye Qingyun, why do you have so few people left?

Lu Fei glanced at Ye Qingyun, and there were only about 10,000 people left.

Ye Qingyun rolled his eyes, You think too much, these soldiers didn't die in battle, but I left them in the occupied prefectures and counties to maintain order, aren't you the same?

I thought it was because you weren't good at learning that you killed everyone. Lu Fei rubbed the back of his head and laughed.

Ye Qingyun and Lu Fei have known each other for a long time and belong to the old officials of Fengguo. Because of this, he and Lu Fei talk very casually, and the two often beat and scold.

Glancing at Shouzhou City, Ye Qingyun said, Do you fight or I fight?

Lu Fei thought for a while, We won't fight, let Luo Hong fight. After all, the Luo family is also a well-known family of military gods in the Great Yu Kingdom. Now that Hu Luoping Pingyang has to give him some opportunities, right?

Ye Qingyun was stunned for a moment, and he said: Yes, I heard that the firearms battalion fought very hard these few times.

Yeah, that's why we can't bully others. Lu Fei said.

Ye Qingyun nodded, Okay, I won't fight with Luo Hong, the brothers in the firearms camp also need some money to settle down in Qingzhou, so I will give them this piece of fat.

Bah, fake and generous, who doesn't know that you occupied Jinling City, Ye Qingyun will be fat when you give out the bounty. Lu Fei said dissatisfied.

Ye Qingyun's face was full of smiles, and he didn't care what Lu Fei said. Just as Lu Fei said, now he and his soldiers are excited.

He had already checked out the treasury of Jinling City, and this time he really made a fortune by closing the country.
