It is just Chuning's imagination to produce a thousand catties of grain per mu. In this era, the main crops such as millet, wheat, and beans can reach three hundred catties per mu, which is already a great harvest. A large area of ​​rice planting began, but under the influence of the general environment, the grain yield rate is not high. Generally speaking, it cannot solve the current food problem facing the entire human being.

Failure to solve this most basic survival problem means that the so-called civilization, economy, technology... are nothing but flowers in a mirror, moons in water.

As far as blog writing is concerned, Chuning thinks she is good, but she is well aware of her own abilities—talking on paper and working with the tip of her tongue.

Chuning could see himself and the reality clearly, so he decided to hand over this matter to Huo Yunshu to be responsible for the implementation, and turned himself into a soul painter, reluctantly drew the structure diagram of Zhang Quyuanli, and asked someone to take it back to Huang County. Ask Huo Yunshu to set up an agricultural bureau, which is responsible for supervising the research and production of agricultural equipment.

Quyuanli has been used since the Tang Dynasty, and it has not been eliminated until the later Tian/Dynasty era. It is one of the necessary knowledge points for many pre-Tang traversers. A person who always puts novels in the office, Chuning naturally knows it, but what she knows better is that in this era without chemical fertilizers and pesticides, only by building ditches, building water conservancy, and promoting the current world The new farm tools that have not yet appeared in the world simply cannot achieve the level of food production leaping to meet human needs.

In this era, it will take about 1000 years before Columbus was born. Potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn and other high-yielding crops are still far away in the American continent. With the current shipbuilding technology and shipping capabilities of the Daqing Dynasty, it is necessary to travel from Asia to America to find seeds and return. , the degree of difficulty is no less than allowing Chuning to travel through time and be reborn again.

Therefore, Chuning had to set his sights on Liaodong, Liaoxi, Xuantu, Lelang and other counties—the Northeast Plain in his previous life.

Although these places have belonged to the territory of the Central Plains Dynasty since the Qin and Han Dynasties, they have always been regarded as border military towns and have not been really developed at all. Ta Lao Xianzun, whom Chuning privately called the household registration madman, said personally, Before being looted by Xianbei last year, there were less than [-] households in the entire Liaodong County.

There are [-] counties under the jurisdiction of Liaodong County, with a total of less than [-] households. That is to say, on average, there are less than [-] households in each county—even if Huang County has been in trouble for so many years, Chuning put Hai The census population of Queen Kou is also two or three times that of Ta County, and this is not counting the tribes, servants and tenants hidden by those big households at that time.

Therefore, when he heard Chu Ning say that he wanted to take Liaodong County into his hands, Xiao Hongfei felt very incredible: "Although, from my own standpoint, I welcome Chu Zhaoyi to Liaodong, but I have to remind Chu Zhaoyi To put it bluntly, this land of Liaodong is a place that is easy to hold but not easy to defend."

Liaodong is no better than Liaoxi. Liaoxi is backed by the Yanyun Mountains, and Liaodong is flat. Even if it is won, there are no mountains and rivers for her to garrison. If you build a city on the ground, Xianbei cavalry can come and roar at any time. Whatever Chuning has, Xianbei can snatch it away. After Xianbei snatches it, there are Donghu, Goguryeo, Buyeo, Silla, Baekje...

Therefore, in Xiao Hongfei's view, Liaodong is really not a good place.

After a night's rest, Ta Lao County Venerable's spirit has also improved a lot. Although he is not as blatantly pessimistic as Xiao Hongfei at this moment, he can't help persuading: "This Liaodong and other places have been called barbarians by the Central Plains since ancient times. The forest is the grassland, except for the rabbit and the wolf...Since Chu Zhaoyi is sure of winning Liaodong, why not change to a rich and prosperous Central Plains county?"

Xiao Hongfei was thinking about military strategy, while Ta Lao County Zun was thinking about civil affairs. The population is small and the geography is desolate.

Li Rui knew that Chu Ning definitely wanted to use this battle of Xianbei to make some achievements, and after the war was over, he would use means to push herself to the position of governor of Liaodong—but she couldn't figure out why Chu Ning would Look at such a barren land of the Fourth World War.

The biggest reason why Chuning fell in love with this place in Liaodong was because of this plain—since the grain production was not enough, they had to rely on the land area to make up for it.

This is one of the solutions that Chuning is currently thinking of. She is responsible for obtaining this piece of land. As for whether she can keep it, it depends on how capable Yan Lingge is.

"I've made up my mind, you don't need to persuade me any more." After waving his hands, Chuning clasped his fists and said, "I hope you can help me."

It was already the end of May when Bai Su received another letter from Chu Ning from Liaodong.The letter first reported safety, and then talked about the thousands of miles of wilderness and numerous bones that I saw along the way north, about the small battle with the Xianbei Duanbu, about Ta Lao County Zun and Liaodong, and frankly wanted to take the land of Liaodong. After getting it, he said that he was interested in the land of Goguryeo and Fuyu. Finally, on the last page, he wrote a whole page: General Chu wants to eat meat!General Chu really wants to eat meat!General Chu wants to eat meat...

Opening the carefully crafted map, looking at it again and again, thinking about it calmly, Bai Su just took up a pen to write a reply to Chuning, but just wrote the beginning, Huo Yunshu came to the door.

"Please Master Bai to save me!" After giving the meeting ceremony and taking his seat, Huo Yunshu's first words were to complain: "Since the general master left Donglai, he has become more and more insane. This letter not only brings back a famous piece of music "Yuanli's picture came, and he was not ashamed to say that he wanted to replace all the farm tools in Huangxian County with iron, raise a large number of cattle, build water conservancy... and said that he would build a compost pond..."

General Chu has been a man for two generations, and he has never done farm work in the two lifetimes. Now he has given full play to his ability to cultivate the land with the tip of his tongue, which can be regarded as difficult for Huo Yunshu - although there were iron farm tools before the Qin Dynasty, and the previous dynasty also made great efforts. promotion, but in fact, the use of iron farm tools mostly only exists in the hands of aristocratic families or rich families.Most of the farm tools and utensils in ordinary farmers' homes are made of wood or clay. If they have an iron pot and an iron kitchen knife at home, they are considered to have a good life.

The reason is that the output of iron in this era is too low, and the imperial court has to forge a large number of armors every year, which greatly reduces the production capacity of iron farm tools and virtually increases the cost of iron farm tools. Sorry.

Therefore, just fulfilling this request of General Chu would be enough for Huo Yunshu to worry.

"In order to catch up with the Zhaoyi Army's thin armor, all the iron that I promised to make the horse armor for President Yan Si has been embezzled." Huo Yunshu cried: "In the past two months, President Yan has written six letters back Urging, but how dare I tell her that the [-] horse armors that were agreed to be completed are less than [-] now... According to the current iron production of the Craftsmanship Division, all the [-] horse armors must be finished. At least it will be after October. Finishing the horse armor, and ordering a thousand heavy armors and a thousand heavy shields before the general goes out to battle... Iron will be used in every aspect, but it is said that all agricultural tools will be used within this year. If it were made of iron, wouldn't this iron still fall from the sky?"

Bai Su listened silently, and she also felt that Chu Ning raised the matter impatiently, but she didn't make any further comments, she just asked, "Do you know the reason for the insufficient iron production?"

Huo Yunshu obviously came prepared, and he answered fluently: "Firstly, the Zhaoyi Army was formed suddenly and took up the expected amount of iron; secondly, it was because the Lord sold more weapons; thirdly, it was because of the iron mines. Stones are in short supply."

There is no iron ore mining in Huang County, and the iron ore used by Jiangzuosi is all transported from other places by the Baijia caravan. It is precisely because of this that the weapons and equipment of the Guards Army have been procrastinating, unable to keep up with demand.

The two discussed several things that Chuning proposed, and finally Bai Su persuaded Huo Yunshu to let him raise more cattle first, while Quyuanli and the manure pond were gradually figured out. As for the iron ore issue, it was up to her to think about it. solution.

Persuading Huo Yunshu to leave, Bai Su continued to write back to Chuning, first exhorting to pay attention to safety, then adding some suggestions on the management of Liaodong, and then mentioning the production problem faced by the Craftsmanship Department, and then briefly describing the situation of the court During the battle with Bianjun, and finally faced with General Chu's words full of meat-eating words, Master Bai put down his pen with a smile.

Different from Xianbei's dragging strategy, the Xiongnu have always resorted to violent attacks in Zhangye. They must fight every day, and there must be casualties in every battle. This put great pressure on Wei Chuyan, the general of Zhenxi. reinforcements.

The court was still deeply divided, and what was even more disturbing was that the emperor had not gone to court for several days, and even the good news that Li Rui asked someone to hand it over was backlogged in Yuan Xiangguo's hands.

The backlog of memorials is a good thing for Xiao Hongfei and Chuning, but it is a bad thing for Li Zhan.

The city wall of Pinggang is tall and strong, and there was a lot of food in the city, but no matter how much food there is, it can't withstand so many mouths to eat. Xianbei has been besieged for half a month, and the food in the city has been reduced by three points One, if there is no way to break out of the siege, the city has a population of more than [-] and an army of [-], and will end up starving to death in the city.

Gu Wenxiong led a group of generals to patrol the city wall, looking at the Xianbei camp stationed around the city, although his expression was calm, but his heart was already anxious.

Xianbei claimed to have attracted [-] soldiers. In fact, except for women and children, almost all the clan invaded. Just one Duanbu Xianbei gathered tens of thousands of horsemen, let alone Murong Xianbei, Tuoba Xianbei, Yuwen Xianbei and other large and small tribes.

Since the Eastern Expedition 20 years ago, the Daqing army has never stopped fighting in the south and north, but Xianbei has collected the remaining Donghu tribes and took the opportunity to recuperate. Coupled with the population plundered from various borders of the Qing Dynasty in these years, its strength has grown. It was stronger than Gu Wenxiong expected.

Compared with the huge amount of money spent by the army of the Qing Dynasty, when Xianbei went to battle, there was no such thing as military supplies and food, and it completely condoned the soldiers' looting and destruction, and implemented on-the-spot supplies.

Therefore, even if Xianbei is surrounding Pinggang City at this moment, in fact, they themselves did not consume much. On the contrary, the people near Pinggang City suffered disasters. Save one.

While Gu Wenxiong was observing Xianbei, the leaders of the Xianbei Central Army were also talking about him.

Murong Chang looked at all the commanders under his command, pulled out the dagger, threw it on the table with a snap, and said in a hateful voice: "Gu Wenxiong is such a coward, he hides in the city and no longer fights, hate it! Hate it!"

"My lord, I think that part is even more hateful." Another Yishuai gnawed on the roast leg of lamb, his mouth full of oil, and said vaguely: "I heard that they deliberately let go of the envoy sent from the city. A lot of food was cheated from the other side of the city, but let us guard the east city like this, and we can't get any oil or water..."

"That's right, they're the ones who take the lead in fighting Grass Valley, and now they're robbing the food team, and we don't have a share in it, so why waste time with them here?"

"Why don't we go directly to Jicheng?"

"Why don't you go directly to the Central Plains? I've heard that the people in the Central Plains are very rich. Let's go there and get some money. Don't let Duan Bu and Yuwen Bu take the lead. Maybe Tuoba Bu has this plan..."

Several Yishuai were talking, when a voice suddenly came from outside the tent: "Murong Hu returns to the tent, please see your lord!"

Hearing this, Murong Chang's complexion changed immediately, and someone immediately brought Murong Hu in.

As soon as he entered the tent, Murong Hu knelt down and bowed: "Murong Hu is guilty, and he has broken your lord's trust. I hope your lord will punish him!"

The author has something to say: I have read an information book before. It is said that in the early [-]th century, in Gansu, Xinjiang and other places, human-drawn wooden plows were still used.During the Anti-Japanese War, farmers in some places in the Chengdu Plain were still using plows without plowboards to cultivate the land.
