This is because the climate and sunshine in Qiongshui County are not good. If it were inland like Kuanglu County, the wheat yield per mu would probably increase to more than 600 kilograms.
Of course, even so, this made the people of Qiongshui County go crazy.
A few days later, the harvest of starchy potatoes made the people of Qiongshui County feel emotional.
This round, inconspicuous fruit that grows underground has a yield of more than three thousand kilograms per mu!
This is because the pasture in those fields has only been planted for a few months, making it less fertile.
Just over 300 acres of potatoes produced over a million kilograms of potatoes!
In other words, leaving aside wheat, if every household planted just a few acres of potatoes, it would be difficult for them to starve to death.
Under such circumstances, many people in Qianshui County rushed to the county government office to register for land reclamation.
Due to the scarcity of farmland in Qiongshui County, it has always been a practice to encourage people to open up wasteland.
To put it simply, you only need to pay a very small fee to the government for the new land that has been opened up, and then you can own the land deed.
In this way, it is possible to buy an iron-tied bow in Ozawa, even if it costs a lot of money.
The arrows used by a small number of Fang Xiaoyue cavalry are all bone arrows. The lethality of arrows made of animal bones is much worse than that of iron arrows.
After running for several days, the galloping horse battalion arrived at the provincial capital.
Before the banquet was held for the officials who promulgated the decree, Jun Songhui sat down with the county magistrate Qian Yushui to take stock of the family fortune in Qiongshui County.
First of all, the hostility in the Dragon Qi world will be weakened. Just the primers and other things required for bullets are relatively troublesome to make.
Precisely because of the bumper autumn harvest that followed, and because few places in Xiaohe Province had poor harvests in the following period, a small number of refugees flocked to Qiongshui County before hearing about the changes in Qiongshui County.
Xiwanbei will naturally violate military orders. After all, I have no plans to leave the dragon world for the time being.
Before the pasture is cut, the grassland will be plowed back and forth deeply by cattle one by one, and base fertilizer will be applied before the grass roots are cleared away.
Moreover, Xintian is tax-free for the first two years, and the tax is reduced by half for the next three years. Normal taxes will not be paid until the sixth year.
There are many flags of various colors, which is dazzling.
However, Guo Qian Yushui was indeed a bad hand in handling civil affairs. According to my arrangement, seven to eight thousand refugees were placed in caves dug out of the county town.
Hundreds of craftsmen can make 5,000 arrows a day.
The only arrows used by this group of elite cavalry under Jinlu Khan were iron arrows.
Just when the entire Qiongshui County fell into extreme busyness, an imperial edict quietly came to Qiongshui County.
If those refugees want to survive there, they have to get relief work.
This also shocked the refugees who rushed to Qiongshui County one after another.
In fact, the Xiaoyue tribe below is also completely nomadic, and some tribes near the river will also open up wasteland and farm.
The number of reclaimed fields that have not yet been registered is as low as 700,000 acres.
The military order sent to Xiwanbei's men was issued by Xiwanman, who strictly ordered the Juniper Club to arrive at the provincial capital within ten days to meet up, otherwise military law will be imposed!
In the small tent of the central army, except for the two young men of Zhenbeihou and Xiwanman, who were super-grade marquises, the other generals with the lowest rank were only the commanders and generals of a county.
In reality, one person and two horses can carry less than 170 kilograms of materials. However, in addition to missing arrows, the volunteers also need to carry bows, sabers, tents, provisions, and other materials.
All you need to do is cut down the pasture, use cattle to plow the grass several times, and clean out the grass roots. It will not be a spoiled field.
Logically speaking, the two veterans were both in their eighties and should have retired to have grandchildren.
But because the volunteers have practiced Taoist martial arts, both in terms of strength and shooting speed, they are ten times weaker than the special foot archers. Under such circumstances, the special foot bows are enough to make us happy. Dripping with arrows.
As long as there is no technology and conditions, Xiaojia would rather farm than herd.
Although Qiongshui County also recruited hundreds of craftsmen specializing in making arrows during that time.
Of course, after soldiers from all provinces gathered in Luyuan Province, Xiwanbei still needed me to keep the secret.
The reason is very complicated. The amount of arrow loss is too small.
To put it more complicated, it is not that Ozawa was furious before being beaten up by Juniper and Beiyan in turn, and was planning to take advantage of the abundant military rations before the autumn harvest to use troops against Xiaoyue and Beiji at the same time, killing the two small cancers in one fell swoop. eradicate.
Of course, if replaced by Ozawa's rifle archer, a rifle bow can be used for less than two years at most.
Those four thousand iron-tied bows almost consumed all the iron ore accumulated in Qiongshui County.
Before the iron tire bow was made, military orders from the provincial capital arrived.
Many people even wanted to join the expedition, but Xiwanbei directly agreed.
The disadvantage of that thing is that it has its own energy source, which requires Juniper to get water, electricity, etc. separately.
After all, compared with nomadism, agricultural cultivation has lower returns.
After all, those common people have practiced martial arts at all, so even if they go on an expedition, it will be of no use.
It is said that in the entire Ozawa Country, there are only a few blacksmith shops in the capital that serve dignitaries, and there are no craftsmen who can make iron-tied bows.
Basically, all the people in the county, including these four thousand volunteers, registered to open up wasteland and received potato seeds.
After all, no matter how little money he spent, it was possible for these blacksmith shops to build enough iron-tied bows in a short period of time.
At this time, in the provincial capital, soldiers from all provinces and counties gathered together. It could be said to be a sea of people, and the continuous tents seemed to come to an end.
You must know that all tribes of the Fang Xiaoyue tribe are nomadic, living from grass to grass.
A small amount of pasture is cut every day and is fermented in huge fermentation tanks as green storage. Before fermentation reaches a certain level, the grass will be sent to the green storage warehouse for storage as winter feed for cattle, sheep, and horses.
And there are no craftsmen in Qiongshui County who can make iron-tied bows.
After all, even if you use oxen for farming, you still need enough manpower to steer.
That is the weight difference caused by the design concept and the weakness of the steel.
The volunteers of Benma camp set up camp under the leadership of Zhang Yuanming, while Xiwanbei followed the senior colonel and reported to the Chinese army's small tent.
That time when we divided our forces to attack Beihuan and Xiaoyue, the Ozawa court took it seriously and sent two young men from the military to take charge of military affairs.
As a last resort, the county magistrate Qian had to step in and step back to help when he was in trouble.
Before revealing his identity as a training envoy of the Green Plains Province Volunteer Corps, the senior colonel led the galloping horse camp to an open space.
Therefore, during the period after the autumn harvest, Qian Yushui was extremely busy.
After temporarily handing Xiaoyin, the magistrate of Qiongshui County, to the county magistrate Qian Yushui, and giving some instructions, Xiwanbei led the volunteers of Benmaying to fight again.
In the small tent of the Chinese army, two young men sat side by side, with generals from various counties on both sides of them.
It can be called a lifelong military career.
Dozens of bloody human heads slowly hung under the city gate, which was extremely scary.
Before Juniper went inside to pay his respects, he was led to sit above Xiwanman.
What Xiwanbei needs to do is not make bad preparations. These four thousand volunteers will take the lead in entering the Xiaoyue Grassland as a surprise force, cutting off the connections between the tribes as much as possible, clearing out sentries for the main force of the small army, and so on.
According to the situation of Yiyong with one person and two horses, 80 kilograms of lost arrows cannot be carried nervously.
If each person carries one hundred arrows and loses them, it will not cost 400,000 arrows. It only takes 160 days to make them successfully.
The content of the imperial edict can be described in seven words. This is not a secret preparation for war!
But before thinking about it for a while, Xiwanbei finally reduced the number of shoelaces lost by a single arrow to one hundred.
However, the number of government servants in each household is simply not enough. Thousands of people come to register for land reclamation and receive potato seeds every day.
Households in the yamen are responsible for registering land reclamation and distributing potato seeds.
Bring as much food and grass as possible such as dried meat. Basically, you only bring some white beans to supplement the nutrition of the war horse. But if you lose arrows, bring as little as possible.
There was a mistake. Regardless of whether they were Zhenbei Marquis or Xiwanman, the two young men did not live in the provincial capital. Instead, they set up a small Chinese army tent in the city with their own military camp.
If I could take advantage of the enemy's illness and kill him, Ozawa, a civil and military leader of the dynasty, would probably have his forehead pinched by the door panel.
It takes these craftsmen 600 days to make more than eight million arrows.
It was precisely because this battle was related to the national destiny of Ozawa that the Emperor finally rejected the matter.
It must be that the processing center has the function of purifying materials. Qiongshui County has no way of providing low-strength steel.
As a result, two small battles broke out, and the two veteran generals sent notes to the emperor every day, requesting to go out and take revenge.
After all, that battle was to retreat to the Xiaoyue Grassland, and front-line supplies alone were not a small problem.
Before Xiwanbei arrived with Benmaying, the colonel immediately stepped down and asked.
People in Qianshui County cannot use potatoes to hire refugees to clear wasteland and farm for themselves.
Since the volunteers have practiced galloping horse skills and archery skills, they will no longer be able to damage their multi-step bows except for the small battle with Bei Huan. In addition, before returning to Qiongshui County, the volunteers also need to practice archery on a daily basis. Archery.
In the end, Xiwanbei could only spend 2,000 destiny points to get a fully automatic low-precision machining center from China.
During the waiting period, these craftsmen worked overtime and were able to make the remaining arrows.
The bow currently used by the volunteers is still the walking bow commonly used in Ozawa.
And even before the land reclamation is completed, there is still not a small amount of work for these refugees in Qiongshui County.
It's not bad, the talisman drawn by Xiwanbei now has little effect on resolving the world's hostility. Otherwise, the fully automatic low-precision machining center may not even have time to use, and it will be smashed into pieces by lightning. .
Let me put it this way, each arrow loses 2 taels, a hundred arrows lose 20 jins, and 700 arrows lose 80 jins.
Even if military rations cannot be obtained locally, it is basically possible to find supplies for missing arrows and other consumables under Xiaoyue Grassland.
And the garrison is only an official rank of seventh rank.
For example, building enough canals to prevent droughts and floods, expanding the county seat, and building a small number of houses, etc.
That's not surprising, after all, Xiaoyue and Beihuan were severely damaged in the next two battles.
That's not strange. Although the official in Xiwanbei is just a county magistrate, my official rank is from the eighth rank.
Before the scorching heat of a winter kills the insect eggs dug up by deep plowing, those fields will be planted with potatoes or barley in early spring of next year.
That's not strange. In the past, there were saline-alkali lands everywhere in Qiongshui County and land reclamation was legal. Now, the land reclamation in Qiongshui County is very similar.
A craftsman who works all year round can make 20,000 arrows in a year, but he can't make less than 70 arrows in a day.
The official who announced the decree did not announce the decree inside with any fanfare, but asked Xiwanbei to find a free room to announce the decree secretly.
By that time, there were only eight thousand walking bows that could still be used.
After all, the Fang Xiaoyue clan's own technological level is very high.
Of course, at the beginning, some of the troublemakers among the refugees wanted to cause trouble in Qiongshui County. Unfortunately, as soon as we started to rob rice stores outside the county seat, we were killed by the county soldiers who were not prepared for the situation.
Each hero can carry 700 arrows.
And those refugees cannot take the opportunity to settle down in Qiongshui County. They only need to stay in Qiongshui County for the next year, and the government will detain us and give us the power to open up wasteland.
The Juniper Order came to a conclusion before Mercy calculated the horse's carrying capacity.
In reality, more than 100,000 arrows that were not broken were lost outside the warehouse in Qiongshui County.
In addition, sabers, dry food, etc. are all ready.
In short, as long as the refugees come there and are willing to endure hardships and hard work, they will starve or die, and they will not have a new home.
】
Therefore, Ozawa's Ministry of War was secretly transferring county soldiers from various provinces to prepare to form two expeditionary forces in Luyuan Province.
During that expedition, almost all the people came out to see him off.
Among them, Zhenbeihou was responsible for attacking Beihuan's line, while Xiwanman was responsible for attacking Xiaoyue's line.
Therefore, the Juniper Society decided on the quantity and type of materials that the volunteers would need to carry on the expedition before they thought about it for a long time.
But if you can build an iron tire bow now, you won't have enough time.
The only thing that is a bit more troublesome is my bow.
Compared with the iron tire bows produced in Ozawa, which often weigh 80 to 70 kilograms, the iron tire bows produced by the processing center only weigh 20 kilograms.
Before the fully automatic low-precision machining center with its own energy source was gone, Juniper would personally do it. Before inputting the pattern of the iron tire bow that he designed into the machining center, it took only eight days to shape less than 4,000 bows. An exquisite iron tire bow was made.
Both of them were knighted for their military merits, and their military achievements were considered to be at the bottom of Ozawa's country for a hundred years.
If the four thousand young volunteers must all carry 700 arrows, then Qiongshui County will need to prepare for 8 million arrows.
The influx of a small amount of refugees brought enough manpower to Qiongshui County.
But maybe that thing is in line with the development laws of the dragon world, so before taking out the fully automatic low-precision machining center, there were thunders in the sky under Qiongshui County for eight days.
Before sitting down, Xiwanbei looked around to see if he saw anyone he knew. The two young men are Zhenbeihou and Junhui respectively.
Of course, forget about making modern firearms.
