After supper that night, all the grain and grass accounts that were supposed to be managed by Bai Ren were handed over to Dunno.

Deng Nuo did not live up to Xiang Cheng and Bai Ren's expectations at all, and the writing was organized in an orderly manner within three or five days. Even Xiang Cheng teased Bai Ren, saying that he was a scholar who was even worse than this cloth cloth.

But Bai Ren said, I just didn't bother to take care of these things. But he was happy and idle in his heart, and now there was such a person to help him, but he was freed.

After no longer having to be distracted and taking care of these things, Bai Ren focused on how to solve the remaining rogues, and the arrival of Ma Teng and others made Bai Ren and Xiang Cheng feel like a tiger.

Of course, the most important thing is that the second batch of soldiers sent by He Jin has also arrived! Plus the previous 1,000 cavalry, this time more came, a full 5,000 infantry! With these troops, Xiang Cheng is now comparable to a prince.

Presumably, these scattered rogues will be wiped out in less than a month.

The reason why it takes more time is because there are beautiful mountains and rivers between Xinye City and Nanyang City, although there are not many of these rogues, but if they want to hide between the mountains and rivers, it will take a lot of time for Xiang Cheng to find them all.

But Xiang Cheng doesn't need to worry about these things, and he doesn't need to be eliminated to exterminate this little rogue.

Now Xiang Cheng, Wen has Bai Ren, and there are countless generals, and these generals can be regarded as people who can be alone anywhere.

Under Bai Ren's dispatch, Sun Jian and Ma Zhong took over the city defense work of Xinye and Nanyang, and Ma Chao, Ma Teng, and Gan Ning divided their troops into two routes, wandering between the mountains and forests every day, killing and taking prisoners in less than ten days, and clearing nearly 2,000 people.

The remaining rogues have smaller targets, and the three of Gan Ning have sunrise and sunset in the past few days, but they have not found any clues about the rogues.

What is Xiang Cheng doing these days? Naturally, he followed Dunno to study people's livelihood.

In Xinye and Nanyang, although there is a lot of grain in stock, it may not be enough to feed these victims for a whole year. Moreover, his own soldiers must not go hungry, in case these remaining rogues are really forced to the point of being ruined, they must count on these soldiers to defend the city and protect the people.

Therefore, Xiang Cheng is now more concerned about the situation of grain production.

The southern part of the Han Dynasty planted wheat, but after watching Dunno's operations in the past few days, Xiang Cheng always felt that there seemed to be something missing from planting these wheat.

Because according to Dunno, these wheats are only harvested once a year!

This makes Xiang Cheng very puzzling, friends who have been to junior high school know that the crops grown in southern China are also two crops a year, to say the least.

Not to mention why Nengnuo grows wheat, but these wheats are actually ripe once a year, and Deng Nuo still had a confident smile when he spoke, so that Xiang Cheng couldn't understand why at all!

However, looking at Deng Nuo's self-confidence, Xiang Cheng couldn't dampen his enthusiasm, he couldn't figure out this problem, so he could only think about it by himself.

In the end, Xiang Cheng summed up several points based on historical development.

First, the social productivity is low, people only know that they rely on the sky for food, and when the seeds are planted in the ground, they only look at God's face.

Second, the seeds planted have not yet been fully developed, and some high-yield crops have not been asked, but Dunno has never heard of them.

Third, the geographical location of Nanyang, strictly speaking, should belong to the "north" of our country, which is why Dunno planted wheat, if it is placed in Jiangxia, I am afraid that it will be sorghum.

Fourth, based on the third point, it is still the geographical location, if Xiang Cheng can walk some distance in Xiangnan and reach the vicinity of Jiaozhou, the temperature there can support crops to grow twice a year. However, Jiaozhou is vast and sparsely populated, but not many people produce there, not to mention, now it is to solve the mess of Nanyang and Jiangxia counties that were messed up by Zhao Ci, what does it have to do with Jiaozhou!

If these four points can be solved, productivity will be greatly improved.

Xiang Cheng has also thought about how to solve these problems, but Xiang Cheng doesn't understand these things, and he also knows that some better crops are still far away on the other side of the world, and it is definitely unrealistic to get them, such as peanuts in the Americas.

Then there is the problem of Nanyang and Jiangxia, Nanyang has little water, and it is definitely unrealistic to think that Xiang Cheng is doing a project such as "South-to-North Water Diversion" with these people.

And Xiang Cheng can only solve the first point, human resources problem. Because of the 6,000 soldiers and horses under Xiang Cheng, they are also idle, and all kinds of land should be exercised.

In fact, Juntun has existed since the Western Han Dynasty and was not carried forward until the Ming Dynasty. During the Three Kingdoms period, Boss Cao also used this method, so that he was able to gain a firm foothold in the Central Plains surrounded by wolves.

However, Xiang Cheng did not let these people go to farming immediately, but discussed this issue with Bai Ren and Deng Nuo.

found two people, Xiang Cheng said: "In my opinion, now our soldiers are idle, why don't we let the soldiers also go to farming?" ”

This question made Deng Nuo happy, but Bai Ren was frightened.

Bai Ren said: "This is absolutely unacceptable, think about it, most of these people came to join the army to eat and drink, you let them go to farming now, not to mention reducing the strength of the army, I am afraid that there will be a mutiny!" ”

The concept of "Shinong Industry and Commerce" has been said before, and in the Han Dynasty, the hierarchy was very strict. Although these soldiers are just writing small soldiers, they are also in the ranks of "soldiers", and if you demote people by one level for no reason, you will be unhappy in your heart.

However, Xiang Cheng waved his hand and said: "You have also seen that Nanyang is full of disaster victims, our food is limited, and the disaster victims usually can't eat enough, how can they have the strength to farm?" It's better to let our soldiers mix in, and when the harvest comes, I'm afraid they won't have any psychological resistance. ”

Bai Ren said again: "This will wait until the harvest is still a year, how will you stay this year?" ”

Bai Ren was Xiang Cheng's strategist in the final analysis, although he had just said that Xiang Cheng's method was not feasible, but seeing that Xiang Cheng must act like this, he no longer persuaded him, but asked about Xiang Cheng's plans.

Xiang Cheng thought for a while and said, "The cavalry stays to strengthen training, and I will practice it myself." The remaining infantry went to Tuntian to solve the current disaster in the two counties. ”

Bai Ren thought for a while, and said helplessly: "That's it, I'll go and talk to the three generals later, let them transfer troops here." ”

Seeing that this matter was properly arranged, Deng Nuo suddenly said: "General Xiang, there are still some people available here on Nuo's side, how about sending them to Tuntian together?" "The Deng family is also a Xinye clan, although they were slaughtered by Zhao Ci, but as Deng Nuo survived and was reused by Xiang Cheng, those exiled family members also returned one by one.

Xiang Chengdao: "That's very good! ”

Dunno said no more, turned and went out of the house to arrange for the men.

Bai Ren also turned around and wanted to come out, but Xiang Cheng said, "Zifu, you come to see this." When Bai Ren heard this, he walked over, only to see a scroll spread out in Xiang Cheng's hand, with some things drawn on it that he couldn't understand.

Bai Ren pointed to the animal skin scroll and asked, "What is this circle?" ”

"Waterwheel!"
