Chapter 68: The county is not as numerous as the county
But when they went out, they were afraid of the crocodile's huge body and huge attack power, and the people didn't dare to provoke it.
The soldiers lacked food, and Cao's "sex", who had the name of the Yellow Dragon, was not afraid of this earth dragon, taking advantage of the fact that the crocodile was in a state of suspended death and hibernation in winter, and there was no attack "sex", so he organized the soldiers to search for it and personally killed the crocodile.
And cut off large pieces of crocodile meat on the spot, and eat it when it is cooked.
In addition, Cao "sex" purchased crocodile skin at a price not lower than that of cowhide, and developed crocodile leather armor, which greatly stimulated the wave of killing crocodiles.
Out of the attention to food, the reclamation of wasteland can not be left behind, in short, Cao's "sex" is not limited, and he doesn't even have time to think about the problem of physiological needs.
I can only regret to let the potter who has not been completely brainwashed go.
When he left Zhenyang County, a group of Wenchen around him was left with only Su Shuang, Wang Ning, and Wang Huan when he came back.
"Damn the doll bird to the sky! Immortal for thousands of years! Let's go! Cao sighed, and soon regained his vigor, and said to Su Shuang, who was in charge of money, food, and materials: "Mr. Su, how is the grain procurement?" Can you get in touch with Jiaozhou? How many vacancies? ”
Su Shuang took out a roll of bamboo slips that he carried with him, unfolded it, and his face was a little worried: "Lord! Nowadays, the basic troops in Zhenyang are the soldiers who have been cultivating in Nanyang, Jiangxia and other places since the autumn of the first year of Zhongping, and the fields cultivated by them account for 10% of the mature fields purchased and the new fields reclaimed by buying wasteland account for 90%, amounting to one million mu.
Although the yield of Xintian is not high, there is a lot of expensive land, and there are also lords who spend a lot of money to cultivate cattle and horses, and sometimes hire temporary helpers.
In addition, the method of raising the dragon to feed the poultry invented by the lord made the soldiers open a large number of chicken pens for raising chickens, and the chickens in the chicken pen are fat, and the eggs are big and numerous, all kinds of fishing, hunting, locusts, loach and yellow eel,
After years of cultivation and development, I finally met my self-sufficiency and had some grain in stock.
In Jiaozhou, with General Jiang Qin as the main general, Li Rong is also supplemented by Li Haozi, and has already made contact with Zhu Fu, the son of the general of Jiaozhou Assassin Shi Zhu's right carriage, and Cangwu Taishou Shi Huang, fortunately Zhu Fu knows that the lord has a personal relationship with his father, and fully supports us to buy grain.
Can! ”
Zhu Jun's son Zhu Fu is the history of Jiaozhou Thorn? Shouldn't Jiaozhou be the world of the Shi family? Who is Juan? I know the people and things related to major events such as the Yellow Turban Uprising, the crusade against Dong Zhuo, and the competition between the heroes.
But Jiaozhou has never participated in the war in the Central Plains, and for Jiaozhou, he only knows that Shixie's family controls Jiaozhou, and he still lived to the age of ninety in the Three Kingdoms of the late Han Dynasty with an average life span of no more than 30.
The others were left with Dongwu Buqiu taking over the history of Jiaozhou's assassination, and finally "dang" flattened the family surnamed Shi, so that Jiaozhou was merged into Dongwu.
I don't know anything about Jiaozhou, is it right to choose Jiaozhou as the foundation?
Cao "sex" thought about it, and his brows furrowed together.
Su Shuang stopped, and his face was even more difficult, thinking that Cao "sex" was not satisfied with him.
Seeing that the other party had misunderstood, Cao "Xing" stretched his brows and said, "Just say anything directly, there are no outsiders here." ”
"No!" Su Shuang arched his hand: "But Jiangxia Tuntian's career has just started, and now eight or nine out of ten have come to Zhenyang, although there are 100,000 Central Plains soldiers to replace and 10,000 Jiangxia old soldiers to teach, but so on." ”
Su Shuang understood that the next words were all a denial of Cao's sex, which might anger Cao's sexuality at any time, and he was born as a businessman, so he instinctively didn't want to say it, and his position as a powerful family might be lost because of this.
Secretly looked at Cao's "sex" and "look" as usual, Wang Ning, Wang Huo's uncle and nephew were a little anxious and impatient because of their own words, and they were hard-headed, and tentatively said that Cao's "sex" was not:
"Lord, the Central Plains soldiers who have never been to the south should be uncomfortable because they are not familiar with the climate and environment of Jiangxia, and they are not accustomed to the water and soil.
Cao "sex" nodded, motioned for him to continue, with the support of Cao "sex", the more Su Shuang said, the smoother it became:
"But it will have some impact, so the income of Jiangxia Tuntian in the coming year may be just enough to be self-sufficient, and the small amount of grain stored will have to be kept for food until after the handover of green and yellow.
The fields in Zhenyangtun are all newly reclaimed raw land, and the year's harvest saves a little, plus the purchase of grain from Jiaozhou, with prey, wild vegetables, and wild fruits, it should be able to make a living.
The main reason is that Jiaozhou is vast and sparsely populated, there are less than 100,000 people in Cangwu County, and most of them are mountains and forests, and most of the people are mountain people who are struggling to survive, and the control of the imperial court is limited, and the grain that can be sold is also limited.
In this way, the more than 100,000 soldiers waiting for us in Zhenyang, how can we be short of food before the autumn harvest?
Moreover, these Jiangxia soldiers have already relied on eating bran vegetables, and even eating locusts, loaches and yellow eels, salted fish, and seaweed, to get through the most difficult first year of the tuntian, and the harvest of their labor was enough to eat for a year, but in order to take care of the newly arrived Central Plains soldiers, these grains were left in Jiangxia.
Now that he has listened to and supported the lord to come to Zhenyang, he has begun to work hard again like the first year, and I am afraid that there will be some complaints! ”
Su Shuang analyzed the causes and consequences, it can not be said that it is not detailed, the new deputy commander and personal bodyguard of the pro-guard battalion who was listening on the side, Wang Zhong, who was from Xiliang and was used to living a hard life, was angry:
"Has the lord ever starved these soldiers to death? Have you ever let these soldiers freeze to death How many times better than what they have eaten for decades and cannibalism in a famine year? ”
This Wang Zhong, who came from the Xiliang Army under Dong Zhuo, was completely different from Hu Chi'er's honesty, his temper was a little short-tempered, and his speech was also very direct, and the surrounding guards were infected by Wang Zhong's words, and they gritted their teeth one by one.
The Han Dynasty was "chaotic" 50 years ago, ordinary people were in danger, and cannibalism was not uncommon.
Although this Wang Zhong has the ability in history, he is also reused under Cao Cao, who became the general of Yang Wu when he was alive and was the Marquis of Tingdu, because he was hungry during the Guanzhong War and ate human flesh, so he was despised by Cao Pi and was not allowed to be reused after Cao Cao's death.
Now that I heard that there will be more than a year of hard life, I am afraid that the former Yellow Turban soldiers who rebelled against hunger and cold a year ago will complain, and Wang Zhong, who is used to seeing life and death, will not be angry.
Wang Zhong gritted his teeth:
"So gracious to these mud-legged people, thief yellow scarves, we just levy forced labor as usual, can they still complain? Will conscription be lighter elsewhere? And what the hell is this Jiaozhou, a county is not as many as our Zhenyang! There has never been a war, and there is no surplus food! ”
"Wang Zhong! Pay attention to your attitude and words! He was also appointed as the deputy commander of the pro-guard battalion and took over as Cao's number one bodyguard, Wang Zhong's superior, Lu Fan, saw that Wang Zhong didn't go through his brain, and said that Cao's "sex" was optimistic about Jiaozhou, and couldn't help but shout.
