Today's Yellow Turban Rebellion is a special situation, and it is normal to have slightly more than 10,000 or 20,000 troops.
Any more would be a bit rude.
The big man is not dead yet.
What's more, the supplies consumed by one hundred thousand soldiers and horses every day can give him a headache.
Fifty thousand regular soldiers are enough, but more reserve soldiers can be prepared.
Liu Hong planned to recruit another 100,000 reserve soldiers to build houses, cultivate fields, and occasionally practice.
In wartime, with a little training, they can be used as regular troops.
The advantage of this farming system lies in the integration of military and civilians.
The state government distributed seeds and fields, which were cultivated by reserve soldiers.
When harvested, part of it goes to the state and part to the soldiers.
While solving the food and grass problem of the state capital, it also solved the livelihood problem of the soldiers themselves.
It can both raise soldiers and farm fields.
Best of both worlds.
However, when recruiting 100,000 soldiers for the field, you cannot use the title of reserve soldiers.
Think of a rhetoric and draw it out slowly.
Write this matter down and leave it to Cheng Yu to handle.
"It's time to go to Qingzhou to find a horse farm."
Liu Hong whispered.
Don’t worry about soldiers and weapons.
However, the issue of horses is a top priority.
It has been put on hold until now, and it’s time to start the plan.
Kong Rong, the governor of Qingzhou, had just taken office and was busy dealing with the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou.
The Qingzhou Yellow Turbans headed by Pei Yuanshao are not that easy to deal with.
The current governor of Pingyuan County is temporarily replaced by Huang Zhong.
Of course it’s easy to talk to your own people.
Liu Hong had already identified a place to build a racecourse.
An area with flat terrain and close to a water source.
After Liu Hong arrived with his troops.
The first thing is to refresh the entry for this plain.
After ten days of continuous browsing and thousands of luck points, I finally got two advanced entries.
[Horse Breeding Land: The endurance of horses is greatly improved, the burst is greatly improved, the life span is +10, and it must have a blue entry, and every other week it must breed a BMW of purple quality or above (red entry)]
[Thousands of miles of fertile soil: fertile land, fertile grass and strong horses, grass growth, nutrients +200%, horse attributes +20%, growth cycle shortened by 50% (golden entry)]
One red, one gold.
These two entries directly transformed an ordinary plain into a top-notch horse farm!
Looking at the scene that changed instantly in front of him, Liu Hong nodded with satisfaction.
Within a few years, he would have a steady supply of horses to form a cavalry.
After taking care of the horse farm, all that's left are the horse breeders.
In this regard, Liu Hong was already prepared.
As early as a month ago, he found a horse master in the recruitment hall who had been raising horses for generations.
[Horse Breeding Master: Horse training losses are reduced, and there is a probability of increasing the horse attributes and quality limit (purple entry)]
[Bole: The upper limit of horse growth is increased by 20~50% (purple entry)]
With these two entries combined with the attributes of a horse farm, even a fool can raise a BMW.
The rest is left to time.
The next day.
Liu Hong came to Ou Yeqian.
It took half a day to build equipment for distilling liquor.
"Sir, what is the purpose of this device?"
Ou Yeqian looked at the various weird parts in front of him, looking puzzled.
"You'll find out later."
Liu Hong smiled and assembled all the scattered parts.
[Distilled liquor purification device]
[Purification: The most basic liquid purification can be carried out to increase the degree. (white entry)]
[Aroma enhancement: The extracted wine will be more mellow. (Blue entry)]
Everything you create has a blue entry.
Only Ou Ye did it.
But it's not enough.
Liu Hong directly refreshed the [purification] entry.
It took three chances today and a thousand luck points.
A golden light flashed.
[Qiongjiangyuye: Distilled wine will turn into Qiongjiangyuye. Long-term drinking will improve your physical condition and cleanse your muscles and cut your marrow. (golden entry)]
Regarding this entry, Liu Hong nodded with satisfaction.
"Buy some wine and move here."
The butler on the side heard this and left.
During the waiting time.
Liu Hong thought about his system.
Maybe it's because of the novice protection period.
Since the system upgrade, he feels that the chance of getting high-level entries has dropped a bit.
If you brush it ten times in the past, you may get a good entry.
Now twenty or thirty times, it may not come out.
Although it is helpless, fortunately, the luck value is guaranteed every month, so there is no need to worry about not being able to get the entries you want.
In Yanzhou City, steward Liu Neng bought the wine and delivered it to the blacksmith shop.
Liu Hong asked people to pour the wine into the device, and the fire brought the wine to a boil.
Soon, the purification device began to boil.
Ou Yeqian and Liu Neng looked at this scene curiously.
"Change the fire to medium."
Liu Hong gave the order.
At the other end, the condensed wine flows out drop by drop.
The aroma of wine spread in the blacksmith shop.
Ou Yeqian and Liu Neng's eyes lit up as they smelled the aroma of wine.
"Sir, this wine smells so good!"
Liu Hong smiled when he heard this and poured out the distilled first wine.
Then he took a small cup and took a sip.
The degree is approximately between 27-32.
Liu Hong was not satisfied.
After the first distillation, pinch off the heads and tails.
Continue with the second distillation.
The butlers Liu Neng and Ou Yeqian on the side had eyes full of longing.
At the same time, I also felt that the protagonist was squandering everything, pouring such a fragrant wine at the drop of a hat.
"If you want to drink good wine, then wait."
Seeing this, Liu Hong smiled slightly.
Distillation and purification were repeated approximately 7 times.
The distillation and purification of 50-degree liquor is completed!
Liu Hong took a spoonful, took a sip, and nodded with satisfaction.
The two people on the side couldn't wait to scoop up a spoonful and swallow it in one gulp.
"Good...wine..."
After the words fell, there were two muffled sounds.
The two fell directly to the ground.
Liu Hong shook his head speechlessly.
The wines of the Han Dynasty were all brewed wines and fermented wines, and the alcohol content was only more than ten degrees or even less than ten degrees at most.
Without the influence of high-altitude wine, the first time I drank the high-altitude wine he brewed, I dared to take a sip.
It's okay if you don't have alcohol poisoning.
Not everyone is like him, with the strength of a first-class military commander.
Have people pack the wine and transport it back to the mansion.
Just stepped into the gate of the mansion.
Cheng Yu came to report.
"Sir, the noble family has sent you an invitation."
Liu Hong frowned.
The noble clans were separatist and controlled the court. The poor families of the Eastern Han Dynasty had no noble sons.
The fundamental reason is that the gentry became bigger.
The emergence of the gentry is inseparable from the policies of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
The Han Dynasty implemented the inspection and promotion system, where famous local people were responsible for "inspecting filial piety and integrity" and "approving talented people".
This system is intended to elect talents, but it ignores the greed of people.
You have what I don’t have, and I have what you don’t have, so we can exchange.
Under such exchange of interests, the system that was originally used to select talents for the imperial court has become an exchange of various interests in private.
Over time, something like the gentry was born.
The new officials elected by the nobles were naturally not loyal to the imperial power.
But these nobles are powerful.
