Chapter 478 Million acres of fertile land and Gan giants!

"Returning to the king, in the humble opinion of the minister, this matter is not difficult, the land on both sides of the Chishui River is flat and fertile, very suitable for cultivating grain, if you can develop the Chishui area, open up the wasteland and build a city, within a few years, with the cultivation technique of the Xi country, the two banks of the Chishui River can become the famous granary of the Xi country and even the entire southern wilderness countries!"

Maybe it's because of that sentence, the hero sees the same thing, Sun Muyue's thoughts coincide with Yao Yun, and they all put their hopes on the land on both sides of the Chishui River.

There are two ways to solve this dilemma.

The first is to increase the yield of grain per mu, which Yao Yun has always been promoting intensive cultivation to increase grain output.

The second is to reclaim wasteland, in this vast and sparsely populated world, there is no shortage of land, only the lack of bold, hard-working, and fierce beasts and monsters to grab land for the wasteland.

In recent years, our Xiguo has vigorously encouraged the people to reclaim wasteland, and the plains around Xidu, Licheng, and Guanling City have all been turned into farmland, which has been fruitful, adding 100,000 acres of cultivated land, which has allowed most of the people of Xiguo to have enough to eat, can afford to raise a four-grade elite division, and there is surplus grain to sell to other countries, if it is not for the rebuilding of the [Fenghuang Army], the treasury grain does not need to worry about it at all.

However, it is worth mentioning that, in addition to Xidu, other places such as Licheng and Guanling City are mostly hilly and mountainous, full of lofty mountains and mountains, arable land is urgently scarce, it is not easy to open up wasteland, many mountainous land is barren, it is not easy to get water, and it is not as fertile as the plains.

Therefore, even if Xiguo has extremely advanced farming techniques, iron ploughs and oxen ploughing, intensive farming, and grain production is much higher than that of other countries, it is unable to support two "grain giants" - elite divisions by themselves!

Therefore, after Yao Yun killed the dragon-body bird-headed god and took the Chishui region in one fell swoop, he looked at the endless open and flat wasteland on both sides of the strait.

Yao Yun planned in his heart that he would develop the wasteland on both sides of the Chishui River.

There are large areas of fertile and flat wasteland on both sides of the Chishui River, and as long as a little development can reclaim hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land, maybe millions of acres of fertile land.

In addition, Yao Yun has the Chishui River River Bo Ling in his hand, and he is in charge of a place, and the entire Chishui River is his territory, not to mention that it is safe and secure, and it can also ensure that the wind and rain here are smooth every year, and the harvest is bumper every year.

At that time, the two banks of the Chishui River will undoubtedly become a huge granary that will shake the countries of the Southern Wilderness, enough to feed millions of people, and it will not be a problem to support two elite divisions alone, or even a third elite division!

Therefore, the development of the Chishui River is the top priority of the Xi Kingdom, and it is three points more important than the reconstruction of the [Fenghuang Division]!

Yao Yun "Zuo Guoxiang said well, Lone also has this meaning, the Chishui River Basin is the key to the rise of Xiguo, this is the "strong Xi policy", if Xi can reclaim millions of acres of fertile land, then Xi Guo will have the achievement of the Southern Wilderness overlord!

Sun Muyue smiled slightly: "The king is wise, after the battle of Chishui River Mansion, the creatures around the Chishui River all bow down to the king, it is not difficult to build a city, but the minister does need a lot of help." ”

"One is the dispatch of the army, although the creatures of the Chishui River are attached, but this place is close to the great wilderness, there are countless fierce beasts and monsters, and the ministers need to [the Cave Divine Army] to deter the fierce beasts and monsters, for example, there are often groups of Gan giants who invade the Chishui area, if these fierce beasts and monsters cannot be based outside the country, the city is built and opened up like an attic in the air. ”

Yao Yun nodded, the Chishui River area is a real and reckless land, go a little deeper, that is, the depths of the proper Southern Wilderness, powerful beasts and monsters are rampant, as for the Gan giant, Yao Yun has also heard of it.

There are Gan giants in the south, with long arms on the human face, hair on the black body, and heels on their heels, and they smile when they see people, and their lips cover their faces, so they flee immediately.

Gan giants are one foot tall, with long human faces and long arms, with thick black hair all over their bodies, and their heels are born in reverse, and they will giggle when they see people laughing, and their lips are huge, which can cover their faces.

Of course, this is a rumored statement, but in the mouths of the barbarians of the Chishui River, these Gan giants have become outright bandits and robbers, often robbing the food of the tribe, and these Gan giants are infinitely powerful, and their strength is not trivial.

This is only the Gan giant, and there are countless powerful beasts and monsters that flow to the Chishui region in the rest of the Great Wilderness, so the stability of the Chishui River area is indeed far less than that around Xidu, and a strong army is needed to clear and defend the town before it can be safely opened up and built a city!

"Lonely and accurate! Hundred miles of wilderness, barbarian, you two commanders the [Kiln Divine Army] and the soon-to-be-rebuilt [Fenghuang Division] to clear the fierce beasts and monsters around the Chishui River, if you encounter the likes of Gan giants and monster forces, you don't need to be polite, those who follow me prosper and those who disobey me die!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Yao Yun nodded: "Prime Minister Zuo, but there is still a demand?"

Su Muyue nodded: "King, building a new city requires a large number of people, although there are many mountain people in the Chishui River area for Zhao'an, but if you want to develop the two banks of the huge Chishui River, tens of thousands of wild people in the mountains are far from enough, so there is an urgent need for Xidu to immigrate to Chishui, the people of Xidu know how to farm, know the craft, and are the mainstay of opening up wasteland and building cities, but I am afraid that most of the people of Xiguo are unwilling to emigrate, so I ask the king to allow Xiguo slaves to go to the Chishui River area to open up wasteland and build cities!

In other countries, most of the slaves are overwhelmed, but the slaves of the Xi Kingdom are different, under the encouragement of Yao Yun's policy, the slaves of the Xi Kingdom work hard, are willing to learn, not only know how to farm, but also are proficient in stonemasons, carpenters, blacksmiths, etc., they are all prepared for the people of the Xi Kingdom.

"That's fine, it's a good idea! Most of the slaves who have learned to farm and learn their crafts are given to you. Yao Yun didn't have many opinions, these slaves were bought by the Xiguo or the palace treasury, and they had long heard that they had earned enough money to redeem themselves through their labor, in Yao Yun's original plan, these more than 6,000 slaves would be promoted to the people of Xiguo in batches in the future, and now they are all promoted through the development of Chishui.

"Thank you, King!" Sun Muyue said again: "It takes countless coolies to open up the wasteland and build a city, and the ministers need a lot of ghosts. ”

Yao Yun had a smile on his face, and when it came to ghosts, he didn't know how many ghosts he had: "How many ghosts do you need?"

"The more the merrier, if there were twenty or thirty thousand ghosts, it would be great. Su Muyue thought that the lion had opened her mouth widely, and her face was slightly red as she spoke.

However, Yao Yun smiled and said, "Lone will give you 300,000 ghost soldiers and ghost generals!"
