On this day, Qin Ge was inspecting the construction of Mou County. During these days, the Free Territory began to move refugees in batches according to their land to the towns and villages in the Free Territory. As batches of refugees continued to be moved out, the overcrowded situation in the Free Territory continued. Gradually, even the towns under the complete control of the Bo County Free Territory gradually began to relocate their residents. Since most of the residents were refugees who had lost their land, each refugee would be assigned a certain amount of land when they moved there, so not only did everyone not exclude , but happily migrated to the new land.
Chen Yuan followed Qin Ge and reported on the resettlement situation of the territory: "The three towns under our control in Laiwu and the two towns under our control in Gaixian have now begun to relocate their people. However, the biggest problem now is Bo County. Although Bo County has already We control the south of the Guishan Mountains, but there are a large number of bandit forces crisscrossing the area. Now Du Yuan has led his bandit troops to attack Guishanguan Pass. Some bandit forces are ready to move. With the distribution and number of bandits in Bo County, if Sending troops to encircle and suppress them will take at least two months, which will probably miss the spring plowing!"
Qin Ge looked outside the city and smiled and said: "Don't worry about this, you will arrange the relocation plan and plan in Bo County in advance, and start preparing for the relocation. Don't worry, within half a month, I promise to give you a safe and sound life without bandits." Bo County!"
Chen Yuan was a little doubtful. Qin Ge only sent 80,000 new troops and 30,000 phantom beast regiments to Bo County. Now they are divided and stationed in various villages and towns. The maximum number of soldiers and horses that can be used to suppress bandits is 60,000, and 20,000 of them are still stationed at Guishan. Off, for now. Du Yuan colluded with Shuibo Liangshan to entangle an army of 100,000 to seize the border. At present, the mountain bandits in various parts of Bo County are ready to move. It is absolutely no problem to entangle an army of more than 200,000. Even if the army is sent to suppress Bo County now, it will take at least two months. In order to quell the banditry in Bo County, Qin Ge not only did not send a single soldier at this time, but instead made sarcastic remarks. But Qin Ge never said empty words, and Chen Yuan silently began to make a distribution plan in his heart.
"Lord! According to the distribution plan, there are still more than 700,000 people with no place to live. Although these 700,000 people will not cause much chaos, it will always be a waste if the manpower is not used! It will also cause damage to the territory's finances. It's a huge burden." Chen Yuan knew that Qin Ge was exhausted after experiencing successive battles. He didn't want to bother him with this matter at first, but after thinking about it, he finally reported the situation to Qin Ge.
Qin Ge frowned and said: "Now our Free Leaders can no longer spare a single soldier to conquer the Bandit Land. Now we are facing Yin Li to the north, Zang Ba to the south, the Yellow Turban Bandit Land to the east, and the Evolvers to the west. The forces have been squeezed out. We can't afford to offend any of these four major forces now, or we just can't afford to fight them. If that doesn't work, just break them up and spread them throughout the territory, just squeeze them out!" Qin Ge kneaded He rubbed his forehead, thinking about all these messy things gave him a headache.
Chen Yuan's eyes flashed and he smiled: "Yuan has actually come up with a clever plan to deal with these more than 700,000 people these days!"
Qin Ge looked back at Chen Yuan's face and laughed and said: "You smile so treacherously, are you holding back some bad water again? Shu De, you have learned a bad lesson!"
Chen Yuan suddenly couldn't laugh or cry and said: "My lord, you are laughing! This is a plan I have spent all my time thinking about. I am just a little excited. Please forgive me, my lord!"
"Haha! Don't you understand my character now? Chen Shude never talks empty words. If you come up with a plan, it means there is a solution. I'm happy for those people! That's why you make such a joke!" Qin Ge said to Chen Yuan said with an apology.
Chen Yuan was somewhat moved and said: "What a blessing it is to have a close friend in life. Chen Yuan feels extremely ashamed for doubting the Lord's heart these days. My strategy is very simple, that is, to lay eggs by borrowing chickens!" Qin Ge did not speak. Listening quietly to Chen Yuan's strategy, "Although the Taishan bandits have ceded territory and become kings now, due to their plundering, the surrounding people have flocked to the free territory and surrounding counties. The Taishan bandits' separatist territory has already been empty of houses. , which means that the area ruled by the Taishan bandits is unable to cultivate all the land. Even if they vigorously encourage the people to cultivate, they can cultivate only one-third of the land at most, and the remaining two-thirds of the land is basically abandoned. The Lord and Yin They have a close personal relationship with Li, and Yin Li was born in the wilderness. He has always been sympathetic to the poor. As long as the lord visits him in person and is moved by his affection, he believes that Yin Li will lend the land to these people for farming. However, when the autumn harvest comes, the lord will lose money. Part of the benefit!”
Qin Ge's eyes lit up, this empty-handed white wolf's method was so damn wonderful. However, he and Yin Li have a close personal relationship. Who spread the news? He and Yin Li have only met twice. The first time his grandmother almost died under Yin Li's knife, and the second time was on the battlefield. Where did you get such a close personal relationship? This is just the nonsense of those busybodies in the world, but Yin Li really likes him. Qin Ge nodded and said: "Okay! After the war in Bo County is over, I will go to Ying County for a visit. Only when you are hard can you stand firm!"
Qin Ge was discussing spring plowing with Chen Yuan. Chen Yuan introduced to Qin Ge: "I have selected a valley ten miles southeast of the free territory. There are 500 acres of fertile farmland. At present, the surrounding areas have been ordered to be cast. The fence was used to cultivate improved seeds. At the same time, a thousand senior farmers were drawn from the refugees, all of whom were about fifty years old and experienced in farming. They have now been gathered together to prepare for spring plowing! The Lord is currently fighting on the border, and At this time, there is a great victory over Xingyao, and many people in the territory suggest that the lord should seize this opportunity and send all his troops to Laiwu and Gaixian to expand the results!"
Qin Ge frowned and said: "The situation is indeed like this. Although the fighter opportunity is fleeting, the most important thing at the moment is spring plowing. Everything can be suppressed. Spring plowing cannot be slowed down. I decided that in addition to mobilizing regular troops, all other reserve troops will be put in." Come to the spring plowing and ensure that this spring plowing is completed smoothly!" Now is indeed a good time to attack Xingyao, but once a war breaks out, most of the labor force in the territory will be deployed to serve on the battlefield. Now, if we can freely accept so many refugees, if we don't Seize this spring plowing and wait for this year's autumn harvest to alleviate the food crisis. When the Free Territory's resources are exhausted, the Free Territory will perish without fighting. It is a helpless move to implement spring plowing.
Chen Yuan cupped his fists and said, "My lord is wise! This is the blessing of the people in the territory!"
At this time, a guard came in a hurry and said: "County magistrate, there is a man claiming to be Xu Ken who wants to see you!"
Qin Ge's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Speak of Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!" Chen Yuan looked confused after hearing this, but when he saw that Qin Ge had turned around and hurried away with the guards, he followed closely.
Qin Ge ran all the way because he was too excited. Because he was in good health, Chen Yuan ran behind him, panting and disheveled. Xu Ken was waiting in the living room. When he saw Qin Ge running in, he looked surprised and quickly stood up and said: "Xu Ken Meet my lord!"
Qin Ge quickly helped him up and said, "Xu Ken! Do you know that I've been waiting for you all this time? It's really boring to wait!" The two chatted for a while, and then Chen Yuan ran in out of breath. His face was flushed, he was bent over and breathing heavily. A scribe could keep up with Qin Ge's pace, and Chen Yuan also had good physical strength.
Seeing this, Xu Ken's eyes flashed with emotion and he said: "In ancient times, there was a Duke of Zhou who spit out food, and the lord is no less virtuous than the Duke of Zhou!"
Qin Ge ignored Xu Ken's compliment, sat down and let the servant watch the tea and said with a smile, "How was your trip, Mr. Xu?"
Xu Ken cupped his fists and said: "Xu has traveled all over Mou County and surrounding towns, and has a basic understanding of Mou County's landforms and various resources and products. Mou County's landform is hilly and cut off by mountains. Wenshui, there are several large rivers in the county, and with the Daxing Water Conservancy, the planting situation in Mou County is good. At present, the planting industry in the county includes iron-grade wheat, genetically modified potatoes, mulberry trees, pigweed and more than ten kinds of herbs and related fruit trees. I am here There are some vegetable and fruit seeds. Although they are ordinary seeds, they can supplement the planting industry in the territory! At present, the fields in Mou County are mainly divided into three types: Sichuan land, which is mostly fertile land; slope land, which is ordinary fields; Most of the mountainous areas are barren land. During this period of time, the Free Territory developed a great deal of water conservancy and built many waterwheels to irrigate the mountainous areas. The soil conditions were greatly improved. It can only be said that the lord laid an excellent foundation for the development of the Free Territory. , but overall, there is still a big gap compared with the fields cultivated by the nobles for many years!"
Qin Ge heard Xu Ken's words and laughed: "Mr. Qin doesn't understand. Since last year, I have been free to mobilize massive resources and manpower to build water conservancy projects just to develop fields. Why does Mr. Qin say there is still a gap?"
Xu Ken chuckled and said: "People are divided into three, six or nine grades, and fields are also divided into three, six or nine grades. Fields, like people's cultivation, also need to be cultivated. Over time, the quality of the fields will become higher and higher, and the fields will grow on them. The level of the crops will also increase. Let me give you a simple example. Currently, the main product of the Free Territory is iron-grade wheat, but the energy contained in the wheat currently produced is not enough to supply 50% of the growth of iron-grade crops. If it were not for the natural Planting on terraced veins will only contain less energy. In short, crops of the corresponding grade must be planted on land of the corresponding grade. Otherwise, not only will inferior food appear, but the seeds will also degrade in a few years! For example, firewood The reason for the Yuanbao pigs in Jia Village was because Mou County's Tianjie spiritual veins were sealed back then, and the pitcher plants cultivated in their village were gradually degenerating, causing the silver Yuanbao pigs to degenerate into today's iron products, so they had to raise fields. At present, in addition to the royal family, many big clans are actively looking up to the sky. These clans have dragon-suppressing pillars given by the court. This pillar can communicate with the dragon veins suppressed by the Han court, absorb spiritual energy and nourish the clan land. This is also the reason for the clan's long-term prosperity. The secret of this. For example, the Yuan family, they even cultivated gold-grade fields. They usually eat gold-grade crops. These crops are full of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Their children eat them every day, and their cultivation speed is a hundred times and a thousand times that of ordinary people. , this is the reason why there are so many talented people in the gentry and nobles. The Free Territory is located in the Tianjie earth line, and the land is rich in spiritual energy, but it does not know how to cultivate the land, so the overflow of spiritual energy is a waste for the Tianjie earth line!"
Qin Ge became interested, but he didn't expect that there is such a thing as farming. It seems that he knows too little about the world, but think about it, in this world, there are serious class divisions, let alone buying a foal from Karasuma. They are all gelded. The high-grade grains flowing in the market have been roasted at high temperatures and cannot be grown in the fields as improved seeds. Not to mention the secret methods of raising fields are monopolized by the nobles. The spiritual energy in this world is limited. If the common people are allowed to raise fields, then the nobles will not have sufficient fertile land spiritual energy, and the high-level fertile land spiritual energy will gradually be diluted!
Qin Ge touched his chin and pondered: "How much fertile land can the Tianjie earth veins currently freely obtained support?"
Xu Ken thought for a moment and said: "Currently, the Tianjie earth veins of the Free Territory are young earth veins. If the aura is raised to support Tiepintian, it can cover the entire seven towns in the eastern part of Mou County. If Tongpintian is raised, it can only cover one town in Panshi Town. The land, the land for raising silver products, is only enough for a free town! It is not capable of raising the land for gold products!"
Qin Ge touched his chin and said: "According to what the gentleman said, can the earth veins also develop and grow?"
Xu Ken smiled and said: "This is nature. Heaven and earth nourish people, and people can also feed heaven and earth. There are two ways to nourish the pulse. One is to nourish the pulse naturally. This method has been the highest secret technique of Taoism since ancient times. In this world, people who understand There are only a handful of them, but one thing is certain. The more people in the territory, the more fertile the land, which will gradually accumulate the spiritual energy of the earth, and the two will complement each other! The other is the enfeoffment method. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty banned the dragon veins of the world, all the spiritual energy of the world belonged to the imperial court. Under the jurisdiction, if the lord has made great achievements and the imperial court rewards the Qin people, they will be given dragon-suppressing pillars. You can use this formation to unlock part of the spiritual veins and absorb spiritual energy to nourish the fields. This is also a method commonly used by the nobles at present."
Qin Ge thought for a moment and sighed: "Confucianism and Taoism are state religions, and their status is respected. The Confucian technique of raising people and the Taoist technique of nourishing the pulse are rare. I don't dare to ask for this, but the top priority now is this year's spring plowing. , I have selected a land for breeding fields in the Free Territory, and have deployed a thousand experienced farmers to help you breed, ensuring that all seeds have been nourished by spiritual energy before spring plowing! This is the director of the Civil Affairs Department Mr. Chen Yuan, he will be in charge of this spring plowing. You should work out a sowing plan as soon as possible, and what crops should be planted where. As for potato breeding methods, I have deployed agricultural experts from our world to help you breed!" Qin Ge said to him Chen Yuan said: "Shu De, you draft a handwriting on my order. From now on, the territory's first priority is to serve spring plowing. All needed human and financial resources will be given priority to spring plowing!" Chen Yuan and Xu Ken hurriedly stood up and asked Qin Ge clasped his fists in response.
…
The sun was high in the sky, and in front of Guishan Pass, the entire pass was dyed red with blood. Qin Jiwu was holding a battle shield, covered in plasma, and the troops stationed behind him were all wounded. Bi Zhishan was standing in front of Qin Jiwu, holding a battle sword. With blood all over his body, Bi Zhishan fought bravely at the front line every time there was a fierce battle, assisting Qin Jiwu in commanding the frontline troops to fight.
"General! A thousand brothers were killed in the attack just now! I have organized the brothers to set up a defense line. According to past experience, they will start to attack the city after lunch!" Because he commanded the troops for five consecutive days, he went into battle day and night. During the bloody battle, Bi Zhishan's eyes were red, his eye sockets were sunken, his voice was hoarse, his body was covered with stab wounds, and the wounds were wrapped in layers of thick gauze.
"Well! Tell the brothers! We will all go into battle this time. Our reinforcements will arrive at dusk, and then this war will be over!" Qin Jiwu's voice was very soft, but he spoke clearly every word. , still with that silent expression.
Bi Zhishan was suffocating in his heart. He was born in poverty and followed Qin Ge, which made him what he is today. Although he has always been Qin Ge's personal follower, he did not develop any arrogance. The soldiers worked together as one, and fought bravely to be the first in every battle. They were very popular among the troops, and Bi Zhishan also regarded every soldier as a brother. Every time a familiar face was killed in battle, his heart would be as sharp as a knife! Now of the 20,000 brothers guarding Guishanguan, 8,000 have been killed, and there are more than 10,000 others, all of whom are injured. This is all because of Qin Jiwu's so-called reinforcements coming in five days.
Bi Zhishan sneered, but still held his fists and gave Qin Jiwu a military salute.
Qin Jiwu looked back at Bi Zhishan silently and said, "Do you have something to say?" Twenty thousand people resisted an army of one hundred thousand, and their opponents had all kinds of weird siege machines from the Mohist family. If Bi Zhishan hadn't been so prestigious in the army, and every day Taking the lead in boosting morale, the morale of the troops had long since collapsed. Qin Jiwu still admired this general who was as young as himself.
Bi Zhishan said calmly: "It is a soldier's bounden duty to obey military orders. What else can I say, but I want to tell you that each brother is injured and is dying here, not because of your cold military orders, but because of their support for the lord. ! If you weren't the lord's brother, I would have punched you!" After saying that, Zhishan went down to distribute food to everyone, and commanded the troops to re-establish defensive positions.
