In addition to inspecting the results of the drills of various departments every day, he also summed up the training experience with Zhao Shi, Mingxiong, Wu Side, Ji Xiancheng and other generals, and continuously improved them in combination with the combat experience. Fang Xue is specifically responsible for recording and summarizing the content, forming articles, and after Yu Zhilong reviewed, the good experience will be issued to all departments for implementation.

At night, Yu Zhilong often checked the status of work and rest, duty and patrol in various departments and camps.

The soldiers were very tired from the daily exercises, and Yu Zhilong specially requested that the noble baggage camp be arranged to boil hot water in the morning and evening for the soldiers to wash. As for the departments at the end of the drill assessment, they are naturally given hands, and at the same time, they are also responsible for cleaning the urine and fecal toilets of each department, and they are often the last to lie down and rest.

During this period, Yidu came to negotiate with the envoy to thank the Shuntian Army for returning the corpses of the fallen soldiers of the Yuan Army, and then negotiated to send several teams of chariots and horses to transport them back to Yidu in turn for burial.

The horses of the two sides clashed frequently in the north and south directions, and each other was injured; Numerous towers were set up on both sides of the river bank to keep an eye on the enemy. The infantry of the Yuan army on the other side has increased significantly, and there are more and more banners, and it is estimated that they know that the plan to lure the enemy has been leaked, so they no longer hide their strength. However, Tang Wuwei did not find it later, so it should have been transferred back to Yidu for repair.

Xie Lin and Cheng Shilin went out early and returned late, and personally led the yacha to organize manpower to concentrate on cultivating fields, dredging ditches, digging ponds, and topdressing. Hundreds of small societies have been organized in the Jing'an military area, and 178 large societies have been formed, and the local gentry or elders have been asked to concentrate the manpower and cattle and horses of the community in order to cultivate the military fields. Even so, the efficiency of farming in association is far greater than that of a single household.

Hundreds of old, weak and hungry people were driven in the direction of Yidu every day, but the people who secretly came from the trails and mountain trails to join gradually came in an endless stream, and later there were more groups, many of them young and strong. The Yuan army captured everywhere, and even beheaded and showed the public, but it still couldn't stop.

Tian Lie received Kong Ying's letter, replying that everything was fine and that his family should not worry, and briefly described the battle of that day, described today's scene in detail, and instructed his wife and daughter to live elsewhere for the time being, and then make a decision when the situation is clear.

Because military and government affairs are involved in each other, Yu Zhilong, Fang Xue, Xie Lin, Cheng Shilin, and Tian Lie get together almost every day to discuss the coming days, and from time to time enter the city to tell Liu Zhengfeng.

Yu Zhilong can rest peacefully for three hours a day in a row, which is a blessing. Within a few days, Yu Zhilong's eye sockets were deeply sunken, his eyeballs were bloodshot, and he felt tired even more than the bloody battle that day! Fortunately, Zhao Shi, Ji Xiancheng, and Gao Shang shared a lot of military affairs for him, so Yu Zhilong was able to concentrate on dealing with the overall planning.

Xie Lin was originally a Confucian scholar, on talent learning, on political experience, can be regarded as a rich man, experienced experience, and even more rare is that Xie is not rigid and pedantic. Whenever Yu Zhilong thinks about something, when he is at a loss, Xie Lin mostly adapts measures to local conditions and offers suggestions.

In addition to admiring, Yu Zhilong specially arranged for Fang Xue to follow Xie Lin to do things, which was not only his trust in Xie Lin, but also the intention of cultivating Fang Xue.

After these days of communication, Fang Xue also admired Xie Lin's ability, and was even willing to serve him as a teacher. Xie Lin insisted on resigning, and was only willing to treat each other with the courtesy of a colleague.

Xie Lin's chief bookkeeper, Cheng Shilin, was strange and asked Xie Lin in private, wondering why his old boss was like this?

Xie Lin saw that there was no one left and right, and said softly: "General Fei is benevolent and righteous, treat Lin Guangguang and be upright, delegate power in everything, use it without doubt, and rely on it a lot." I view the general acting, it is the husband who did it, there is the atmosphere of the new world, Lin can meet the general, fortunately even ah! In this life, the only way to do your best is to do your best. It's just that Lin was born in the pseudo-Yuan after all, and he was forced to follow the master halfway because of the fall of the city, and he didn't take the initiative to take refuge, so he may not be able to convince the generals sincerely, one of them. Second, although Fang Xue is a backward, he is sensitive and studious, hard-working, and is a person cultivated by the general, and the general ordered him to obey me, called Assistant, which is really a tempering, which is also a great trust in Lin, and he dares not to do his best? Master Fang and Captain Mu were both rescued by the general, and their loyalty to the general is undoubted, and Fang Jun is knowledgeable and sincere, and his future is limitless. Fix him today, and it will be enough to help him the day after tomorrow! ”

Cheng Shilin doubted: "If it is as Jun said, wouldn't it be good to accept Fang Jun as a disciple?" ”

"Although the general is young and strong, but the self-discipline is very strict, not good money and extravagance, do not confuse women, since entering the city, I have not heard of him confused by the sound of dogs and horses, and he usually lives in the barracks. Listening to the general's personal defense, the general mostly reads history books and classics in his spare time, and reads at night. Therefore, I think that the general has the ambition of founding the country and the righteousness of the king. ”

Xie Lin sighed, and continued: "Since ancient times, the sages and emperors did not like their subordinates to form parties for personal gain, and the party was the same as the other, since I have the ambition to follow the general, I should be cautious. General Fei attaches great importance to practical things, frivolous and exaggerated, we are now careful about the affairs of agriculture, if we do practical things, we will be able to have a place under the general's seat! Fang Xue's master book is a person who will be used in the future, and now he only needs to guide and make friends carefully. ”

"Having said that, but Fang Jun can be said to be a teacher from you, but I'm afraid that I will inevitably be inseparable from it in the future." Cheng Shilin thought for a while.

"As long as Xie is not confused about major events, he must be in danger if he is surprised. Besides, the general is a wise man, how can he be deceived by Xiaoxiao? ”

"At the beginning, the adults were begging for perfection under the beggars, and for many years they worked for Sangzi, and the county's water conservancy, agriculture, and taxes were all in order, and there was never a mistake, thanks to the adults' hard work day and night. General Fei was able to allow adults to continue to be in charge, and he also saw the ability of adults. It's ridiculous that I didn't understand the meaning of the adult's attachment at the beginning, but fortunately, with the persuasion of the adult, the subordinates can get lost and know the return, please accept the next worship of the subordinates! Cheng Shilin cleaned up his clothes and bowed down.

Xie Lin smiled slightly, these former subordinates were all eating the food of the Yuan Court, and since Yu Zhilong broke the city, he joined the gang with him, and many people were frightened and fearful, fearing that they would be retaliated against by the Yuan Court's army. Due to the situation at that time, everyone did not dare to speak out against it, but it was inevitable to slack off in doing things, and Cheng Shilin was one of the representatives.

Because Xie Lin completely pressed his net worth on Yu Zhilong, he had many heart-to-heart talks with his subordinates in private, and he barely dispelled everyone's concerns, but it was not until this great victory of the Shuntian Army that everyone's worries were finally greatly eliminated, and he was willing to do things more seriously.

Speaking of which, the pressure on Xie Lin these days is also very great, and the daily chores are constant, Liu Zhengfeng didn't give him many instructions for a while after entering the city, but just ordered him to do a good job in the city, assist in the recruitment of people to defend the city, or cooperate with the various departments of the Shuntian Army to collect grain and grass, and collect donations from large households, but Yu Zhilong has an unusually strong interest in how to govern the county government, and he also has a clear and organized idea of detailed management, even the rather conceited Xie Lin can't help but be surprised.

Yu Zhilong once said to Xie Lin and Fang Xuedao: Most of the sage books are the moral words of self-cultivation and self-cultivation, and personal understanding and education are indeed infinitely beneficial, but in how to govern the government, persuade agriculture and water conservancy, how to carry out urban and rural construction in an orderly manner, and develop agriculture, commerce, animal husbandry, fishery and forestry, etc., it is almost extensive governance, and there is a lack of clear and detailed guidance that is tailored to local conditions. In particular, the officials of the special management of the imperial court rarely have professional ability, only know how to collect taxes and distribute miscellaneous labor, and rarely think about how to make the cake bigger and stronger.

Xie Lin was not convinced at first, although this Fei General was brilliant in wisdom and bravery, seeing that he was so young, how much experience he could talk about. Xie Lin didn't say it, but he was a little disappreciative in his heart, but he was calm in his heart and good at hiding his scheming, and since he was determined to follow Zhilongwei, he naturally didn't want to argue with him.

Shi Yuan Tingsi Agricultural Division compiled the "Agricultural Mulberry Collection", and there were also the "Summary of Agricultural Mulberry Food and Clothing" written by Lu Mingshan, a native of the Western Regions, and the "Agricultural Book" written by Wang Zhen, a native of Dongping, all of which were engraved and distributed. Yu Zhilong got a copy of "Agricultural Mulberry Collection" from Xie Lin, and read it for three nights in a row, but unfortunately its text is concise and full of literary language, not to mention that Yu Zhilong is extremely difficult to read, and it is estimated that the old farmers in the fields are even more glaring!

Relatively speaking, the "Summary of Nongsang Food and Clothing" is more detailed, and the operation method can be briefly stated, but unfortunately there is no punctuation at all, Yu Zhilong can barely read it, but a large number of traditional exclusive words are not known at all, and its semantics are naturally difficult to understand. For example, in case of "the dew hurts the wheat, but there is sand fog, use the hemp to scatter the long rope on the morning invasion of the morning, so that the two of them hold the rope on the wheat, drag and wipe off the sand fog, and it will not hurt the wheat", Yu Zhilong consulted Tian Lie Fang to know the sound of "苘, 絟", and its meaning. But what is sand fog, Yu Zhilong really doesn't know!

It's terrible to have no culture! Yu Zhilong patted his head and sighed deeply, although the Yuan court also printed the book and forwarded it to the Sifang Prefecture and county officials, asking for reference and promotion, but this kind of reading material can only be read and understood by a very small number of people. And most people in the government want to be promoted and make a fortune, how can they be diligent in civil and agricultural affairs? As for the troubled times, the government has no intention of taking care of agricultural affairs.

In addition, many people are illiterate, especially farmers, and with the current level of literacy, it is inevitable that new achievements will be a mere formality if they want to vigorously promote new achievements in the form of books among the people!

Yu Zhilong thought about it carefully, the current war is tense, and he has no time to focus on this matter, and after the overall situation is stabilized, he must organize manpower to promote associations, literacy and other things. As for the current text, there are many strokes that are extremely cumbersome, difficult to write and difficult to recognize, and the article has no sentence break symbols, etc., all of which need to be solved together.

I really don't know why the ancients were so cumbersome!

These things are too long-term, let's solve the current agricultural affairs and planting tools first. Yu Zhilong finally made up his mind silently.

When it comes to farming, Yu Zhilong is not only concerned about the restoration of agricultural mulberry, but also about improving the yield of the unit. This is often overlooked among the officials and farmers of the day.

Seeing the outline of Xingnong sorted out by Xie Lin and Cheng Shilin, Yu Zhilong vigorously affirmed it, but with the power of the government, how to carry out seed selection and breeding, the two did not have a clear idea.

Yu Zhilong once asked Xie Lin and the old farmers in the field, and nowadays, the selection and breeding of crops are generally spontaneous actions of the people, and the government rarely organizes large-scale experiments and promotions. After all, these things may not have any big results for decades, and the investment of the characters is extremely huge, which is by no means something that a small family can bear, and if it fails, a family's one-year livelihood will be in vain.

Even the government of a place cannot hold on for a long time, especially the frequent change of local officials, which has caused the disadvantages of people going to politics.

Seeing that Xie Lin was a little unimpressed with the selection and breeding, Yu Zhilong did not break it. can be so diligent in civil and agricultural affairs, Xie Lin and Cheng Shilin can definitely be included in the Yuan Court's performance assessment, and Xie Lin is effective and loyal to himself, and he is no longer harsh on him.

However, I don't ask for it at this time, but I still have to have a goal, Yu Zhilong casually asked a few questions, so that Xie Lin, Cheng Shilin and Fang Xue had time to think about it carefully, and then reply after having ideas or answers.

For example, how to increase the yield of wheat per mu by 100 catties, or even to 200 catties; How much does the living expenses of the small people in the city need to survive in a year, and how much rice and grain do the farmers outside the city need to harvest in a year to meet the taxes they pay and the whole family? If you want your family to pull a few more clothes, and have meat and fish in the pot every month, how much more food do you need to collect to achieve it?

Xie Lin and others felt relaxed at first, but after careful study, they felt that Yu Zhilong had good intentions, and several questions were all related to people's livelihood. Fang Xue grew up in the city since he was a child, and his family has a bookstore, although he has a plan, but he has no clue about farming, Xie Lin has been a local county governor for several years, and the prime minister has a lot of local experience.

The latter question is easy to say, the key is the first problem: how to increase the yield per mu by 100 catties, or even 200 catties.

There are five grains from time to time, wheat millet is the main one in the north, and rice is the first in the south. According to the records of agricultural economics and agricultural books, the yield per mu of wheat millet in the north at this time is at most 300 catties, and the harvest is mostly 1,200 catties when encountering bad years, and even no grain is harvested in drought years.

According to the current mainstream idea, if there is more yield per mu, in addition to the good weather, it is nothing more than weeding, top dressing, watering and other steps.

But the annual ploughing, sowing, weeding, fertilization, irrigation, harvesting, threshing, drying, transshipment and other links are indispensable in the planting and harvesting of crops, and all are manual, extremely time-consuming and laborious, if the water source is sufficient, it can still alleviate part of the labor.

Due to the physical strength of women, the field farming cannot be compared with men, so the strong man Ding Shi is the pillar of the family! If there is the assistance of cattle and horses, it can naturally save a considerable amount of manpower, but the average farmer is too poor to support livestock.

In fact, when the farm is busy, peasant women and children are not exempt.

The imperial court's pensions and reductions could not offset the losses of men, which was one reason why men were reluctant to join the army.

The amount of labor in the field is large, the yield per mu is low, and the labor apportionment of the Yuan court is large, so it is not easy for small households to ensure that there are enough men to go to the field; At this time, it is dependent on the sky to eat, so it is almost a luxury to greatly increase the yield per mu in the agricultural era, and the vast majority of people only hope that the wind and rain will be smooth and the grains will be abundant. Xie Lin and Fang Xue are also vulgar. The two pondered for a long time, but they only wandered around in fertilization, irrigation, and even dense planting, as for breeding, selection, they also heard, although the agricultural book mentioned, but how to act specifically is also on paper, and they can't come up with a good way for a while.

Fortunately, Zhilong did not force the two to find a feasible breeding strategy immediately, but only asked the two to pay more attention and try the opportunity after the war passed.
