Zheng Ming looked him up and down and said, "Lord Lu, write down him. He will be the chief officer of the livestock farm in the future, and everyone else will be assigned to the livestock farm."

"After the livestock farm is built, the breeding will begin immediately."

The importance of animal husbandry in the feudal era was no less than that of agriculture, and it was related to whether the people could eat meat.

Shanhai County is poor, and very few people raise chickens and ducks. As for cattle, sheep and pigs, only Zhao, Song and Liu have three families.Not to mention horses.

And for warriors, meat is also very important.

If you don't eat meat, you still want to practice martial arts and have a strong body. Isn't this a joke?

Therefore, Zheng Ming put animal husbandry in the first place in the development of Shanhai County after getting the allocation of arable land.

"Let the clerk of the county government make a reward and punishment system for the livestock farm, and set a goal, such as chickens and ducks. This king hopes that every household in Shanhai County will have chickens and ducks to raise next year." Zheng Ming said again. .

The development of animal husbandry cannot be achieved by the county government alone, and the power of the people must be mobilized.

"The subordinate takes orders." Lu Shou said.

Zheng Ming nodded slightly, looked at Liu San and the others, and said, "In the future, you will be the officials of the livestock farm, and the county government will give you salaries. If you do well, the king will reward you with other rewards. Whether the people can eat meat or not depends on you."

"Caomin will definitely not live up to His Highness's expectations." Liu San said excitedly.

Zheng Ming patted him on the shoulder and said, "It will be better in the future. When the school is built, send your sons to the school and study literature and martial arts."

Liu San's vicissitudes of life smile turned into a flower, and said, "Your Highness, Caomin only has a daughter, not a son."

"Haha, then have one." Zheng Ming smiled.

"Hehe~~" Liu San laughed, but for some reason there were tears in his cloudy eyes.

Zheng Ming looked at the others again and asked, "Who among you can make gunpowder?"

There is gunpowder in this world, but the application of gunpowder is very shallow. There is no concept of guns and guns. The places where gunpowder is used the most are firecrackers and fireworks.

As a modern person, Zheng Ming certainly will not forget the killing weapon of firearms.

Even in a world where martial arts are prevalent, the power of firearms is still unquestionable.

If there are a few Gatlings, Zheng Ming is still afraid of a ball, and the master will give him a sudden death.

Of course, everything Gatling is delusional. With Dali's technological level, it is difficult to build a cannon.

However, gunpowder is not only useful for firearms, but also for building roads and bridges, and for mining.

Zheng Ming didn't have high hopes for gunpowder in a short period of time. He just wanted to bury the seed first and slowly wait for it to take root and sprout.

"Grassmen will make gunpowder."

Four more people stood up and said.

Zheng Ming nodded and said, "Master Lu, you can arrange it. After the firearms factory is completed, let them start to study firearms. In a few days, this king will write a book about firearms and give you advice."

Although he doesn't know much about firearms, he definitely has more than these people. It's okay to make some suggestions, and the rest can only be tested slowly.

"The rest are medical skills?" Zheng Ming asked again.

Lu Shou explained: "His Royal Highness, there are no famous doctors in Shanhai County, these are already the best doctors in the county."

Zheng Ming thought about it and said, "After the hospital is completed, let them settle in as soon as possible, and find more apprentices for them."

Birth, old age, sickness and death are inseparable from doctors, but the profession of a doctor is somewhat difficult, especially Chinese medicine.

If you want to train a qualified Chinese medicine practitioner, you can't do it without more than ten years.

Zheng Ming didn't have much to do about it, he could only cultivate slowly.

"The officer understands." Lu Shou said.

Next, Zheng Ming went to the barracks of the City Guard Army. The barracks had not yet been built. Most of the soldiers of the City Guard Army had become laborers, training while working.

After looking around, Zheng Ming gave Gao Shun some advice before returning to the palace.

Now Shanhai County lacks everything except money. In Zheng Ming's view, Zhao, Song and Liu Sanjia are just a bunch of idiots. They are nothing but money.

I have saved so much money, but it's useless.

Shanhai County doesn't have any good things to buy, so they can only go to Beibianfu to buy. Every time they come and go, it's a mountain road of more than 100 miles, and they can't come back for seven or eight days.

The key roads are all mountain trails, and horses and carts cannot pass, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the efficiency is still scary.

If a road to Beibianfu can be opened up, no matter how poor Shanhai County is, it will not be so poor.

The three families of Zhao, Song and Liu never thought about building roads. Perhaps for them, the layers of mountains are their barriers.With the road, the people of Beibianfu entered Shanhai County, and they would lose their dominant position.

But Zheng Ming is different. He is the king of Shanhai County. With this status, he can do whatever he wants in Shanhai County.

So now Zheng Ming's most urgent thing is to open the channel with Beibianfu.

Unfortunately, it is really difficult to build a road in the mountains.

Chapter 22 A King Is Like a Tiger

In the palace study.

After Zheng Ming blew the wet ink, he shouted to the door, "Little Fuzi!"

"Your Highness!"

After a while, Xiao Fuzi ran in.

Zheng Ming looked at the oil on his lips and said, "What did you steal from your kid again?"

Xiao Fuzi scratched his head, hehe smiled and said, "Today, a hunter came to the city and brought a deer, the little one bought it, and the baby roasted some venison for the little one to taste."

"You greedy thing, you are fat, fatter than a pig." Zheng Ming said angrily.

Shanhai County is poor, and Zheng Ming felt a lot thinner after he came, but this kid is still fat.

The fat one is like a penguin, walking erratically.

Xiao Fuzi laughed and didn't dare to speak.

He always felt that since His Highness came to Shanhai County, the power on his body became stronger and stronger.

"Go, send these to Lord Lu, and I will take care of you when I come back," Zheng Ming said.

Xiao Fuzi hurriedly took over a stack of papers, bowed his head and exited the study.

For Song Baobao and Xiaofuzi, Zheng Ming has a lot of tolerance.

Xiao Fuzi is only 15 years old this year, and Song Baobao is only 13 years old. They are both children. He really has no heart to oppress them.

As soon as Xiao Fuzi left, Yu Huatian brought Yao Haisheng over.

"Your Highness, something happened in the mountains," Yu Huatian said.

Zheng Ming raised his brows slightly and asked, "What's the matter?"

Yu Huatian looked at Yao Haisheng, and Yao Haisheng said hastily, "Baiyan village has been wiped out. There are more than 300 people in the village, and none of them are left."

"what!"

Zheng Ming's face instantly turned gloomy.

Yao Haisheng lowered his head and said, "Baiyanzhai only entered the household registration a few days ago, but today the yamen of the county government office went to send the household registration and found that the entire cottage was dead."

"Do you know who did it?" Zheng Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, and a fierce light appeared in his eyes.

With the addition of Yunshanzhai to the county government office, many cottages around have begun to join the county government office, and Baiyanzhai is one of them.

He met the owner of Baiyan Village in the county government two days ago. He was a short old man. At that time, Zheng Ming talked with the old man and felt that the old man was very enlightened.

Although the people of the cottage are short-sighted, in the final analysis they are ordinary people who have to live in the mountains because of the persecution of Zhao, Song and Liu Sanjia.

To Zheng Ming, these people were his subjects just like the tenants.

"It was made by the people from Heiyun Village." Yao Haisheng said in a deep voice.

"Black Cloud Village is [-] miles northwest of the county seat. In the past, other cottages were often looted, and the surrounding cottages hated and feared them."

Zheng Ming looked at him with a solemn expression, and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Recently, a lot of village owners came to the county government to look for Xiaguan. Xiaguan was busy negotiating, so they ignored them. This is the dereliction of duty by Xiaguan, and I also ask the Highness to be guilty." Yao Haisheng knelt on the ground, his body trembled slightly.

Zheng Ming looked at him, his eyes were cold, and there was anger in his heart.

Yao Haisheng has always been responsible for recruiting cottages, and this must also be Yao Haisheng's responsibility.

If Yao Haisheng reported the matter of Heiyun Village to him in advance, he would definitely arrange for someone to watch it, and he would never let Heiyun Village come to him.

It was because of Yao Haisheng's dereliction of duty that more than 300 people in Baiyanzhai died.

If it weren't for Yao Haisheng's need to deal with the matter of the cottage, Zheng Ming would have been dragged out and beaten.

"Remember this crime first. If this happens again next time, this king will cut you off first." Zheng Ming said coldly.

Yao Haisheng said in a trembling voice, "Thank you for your forgiveness."

Zheng Ming said: "Send the order to Gao Shun, let him take the trap camp into the mountain, and let some people from each cottage come out to destroy the Black Cloud Village for this king together, except for the women and children, not a single one."

"Slave obeys." Yu Huatian responded immediately.

Then he took the trembling Yao Haisheng out of the study.

After leaving the study, Yao Haisheng dared to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead. To be honest, he was really scared just now.

This was the first time he saw Zheng Ming angry.

He never thought that Zheng Ming's anger would be so scary.

Companion is like a tiger!

He sighed inwardly.

……

Heiyunzhai is located on the halfway of a mountain peak, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Moreover, the villagers in Heiyunzhai are all warriors who are good at fighting. They live in the mountains all the year round and are familiar with fighting in the mountains.

In fact, compared with Zhao Song Liu Sanjia and Ghost Head Shark, their strength is not weak at all.

Just because they live in the deep mountains, the people of Shanhai County don't know them well.

After receiving Zheng Ming's order, Gao Shun's expression instantly became solemn.

Mountain combat is different from plain combat. There are too many terrain restrictions, which greatly affects the combat effectiveness of the trapped camp.

And to climb mountains and mountains, heavy armor will become a burden for the soldiers.

"Come on, gather soldiers!"

Immediately, drums sounded in the camp, and the disciplined trap camp quickly assembled.

Gao Shun stood on the high platform, watching the neat formation of the trapped camp, and said loudly: "The good shooters are out."

wow~~

Hundreds of soldiers trapped in the camp walked out of the queue.

The trap camp is originally spearmen, and there are not many good shooters, only about a hundred people.

"The rest will be dismissed, continue training, and those who are good at archery will go with me." Gao Shun ordered.

Then he went to the city guard barracks to find more than 200 people. A total of 300 people walked into the mountain under the leadership of Yao Haisheng.

The road in the mountains was difficult. In order to prevent the soldiers trapped in the camp from consuming too much physical strength, Gao Shun asked them to take off their battle armor and be carried forward by the soldiers of the City Guard Army.

The battle armor in the camp weighs more than 50 kilograms. If soldiers on flat land wear it, they can walk for more than 30 miles without resting, but it is not the same thing in this mountain.

The two of them carried [-] kilograms of armor, and after walking for more than ten miles, they collapsed tiredly.

They rested several times along the way, and when Gao Shun and the others arrived at Yunshan Village, it was dark.

"General Gao, there are more than 300 strong men in Heiyun Village, and they are easy to defend and difficult to attack. Isn't it a little small to rely on more than 100 soldiers to fall into the camp?" Yao Haisheng still couldn't hold back and asked Gao Shun.

This time Heiyunzhai made him embarrassed and disappointed in front of Zheng Ming, so he was full of hatred for Heiyunzhai.

I can't wait to level the Black Cloud Village immediately.

But he knew that Heiyun Village was not easy to fight. If he couldn't fight, wouldn't he be even more embarrassed.

"It's definitely not enough to rely on more than 100 camps. Didn't Your Highness tell you to call other cottages?"

"When fighting in the mountains, those who are good at archery come first, and the mountain people are good at hunting. Most of them have practiced archery since childhood, so this general wants to use the strength of the mountain people." Gao Shun explained.

Using the trap camp to conduct mountain operations is wasting the lives of the soldiers. As the coach of the trap camp, Gao Shun naturally does not want the soldiers to die in vain.
