"Yingzhou, Yingzhou." In the study, Yun Yi tapped the fingers of his left hand lightly on the desk, and his right hand held a piece of paper full of words.

Yun Hao passed the book from Yingzhou Flying Pigeon and reported the situation he had obtained from his exploration in Yingzhou to Yun Yi, and on this Flying Pigeon Biography, Yun Yi knew a little bit about Yingzhou.

Although Yingzhou is not a vast continent in Yunyi's imagination, an island with an area comparable to Zezhou and fertile land is enough for Yun's development needs.

Zezhou is one of the worse states among the eleven states of the Dali Empire, and the area of Zezhou is in the middle of the eleven states, with a radius of 700 li, which is about 11 or 2 times that of Yunhua County, but the population of Zezhou is the smallest among the eleven states, about 2.4 million.

The area of Yingzhou is about the same as that of Zezhou, but Yingzhou is full of fertile land, and the population that Yingzhou can support is at least more than that of Zezhou.

What's more, the letter also said that they found sweet potatoes in Yingzhou, sweet potatoes are not ordinary crops, sweet potatoes are adaptable, and can even be planted in saline-alkali land, and the yield of sweet potatoes per mu can be as high as thousands of catties, far exceeding the rice, millet, millet, wheat, soybean and other crops planted on the land of China.

For example, once all the farmland in Yunhua County is planted with sweet potatoes, then with the power of Yunhua County, it will be able to feed the people of the entire Zezhou, or even more.

The discovery of sweet potatoes is of great significance to Yun's, in this era of backward science and technology, the value of grain is higher than money, Yun's has been buying grain from the outside world, but not buying too much, it has caused the price of grain to rise in Zezhou, and other states have also risen slightly, in the face of this situation, Yun's can only suspend the purchase of grain, or turn to secretly and secretly purchase, Yun's does not want to cause food prices to rise rapidly, which will seriously affect the lives of ordinary people, but also affect Yun's prestige.

However, there is also an unexpected situation, since the beginning of the summer, the Dali Empire has fallen into a situation of drought and lack of rain on a large scale, and many people predict that the grain production of the Dali Empire will be seriously reduced this year, so the major forces within the Dali Empire have begun to buy and hoard grain, and even some forces collude with the official personnel of the Dali Empire to sell the grain in the official granary.

Even if Yun's does not buy grain, the price of grain in the outside world is also rising rapidly, which is not a good thing, fortunately, ordinary people have the habit of storing grain, otherwise the soaring food prices will seriously affect the lives of the people, but if this situation continues, one day the grain in the hands of the people will be eaten, and the people will suffer at that time.

The discovery of sweet potatoes in Yingzhou is undoubtedly good news, and Yun Yi really can't wait to go to Yingzhou immediately.

For this flying pigeon biography, Yunyi attaches the most importance to two things, the first is naturally sweet potatoes, and the second is a herd of wild horses on the grassland in central Yingzhou.

Horses are divided into horses, ordinary (pass) horses, good (quality) horses, excellent (quality) horses, BMWs, and thousands of horses, and the good horses (inclusive) can be used as war horses, and the good horses are mainly used for pulling carts and grinding, and riding is also possible, and the speed and endurance can not catch up with the war horses.

There is no shortage of horses and horses in Yunhua County, and ordinary farmers can raise them at home, but the war horses are different, limited by the conditions, only the horse farms in the northern states of the Dali Empire can produce war horses, and the number is relatively small.

This leads to the fact that in the territory of the Dali Empire, there is no market for war horses, and now the hundreds of war horses in the hands of the Yun clan are also purchased by the Yun clan for favors and at a high price.

Cavalry has a lofty position on the battlefield in the cold weapon era, and in field battles, 10,000 cavalry can even defeat 100,000 infantry who are ready to fight, which shows the strength of cavalry.

However, the cost of cavalry troops for the same number is much higher than that of infantry, and there are only five cavalry legions in the hands of the Dali Empire (which also has a reason for the lack of war horses), but each of these five cavalry legions is a trump card on the battlefield and a magic weapon to defeat the enemy.

The Yun clan also needed cavalry, but because of the lack of war horses, it was difficult to form a cavalry unit.

The Yun clan is not short of money, but war horses cannot be bought with money, and now Yun Yi sees the possibility of forming a cavalry unit.

Most adult wild horses have the qualities of good horses, and as long as these wild horses are tamed, they can become war horses, and the Yun clan can form cavalry troops.

Yun Yi also thought of more, Yingzhou belongs to the Yun family, everything on Yingzhou is the Yun family, and the Yun family can establish a large horse farm on the grassland in the middle of Yingzhou to breed more war horses.

The Shenji battalion attacked the city and defeated the enemy, and the iron cavalry swept in all directions, when the Yun clan held these two magic weapons, the Yun clan should be invincible.

Yunyi is a human being in two lives, it can also be called a traverser, which traverser will be willing to live an ordinary life, Yunyi doesn't know, but Yunyi will not be willing to go ordinary.

If this world is a peaceful and prosperous world, everyone can be fed and clothed, no one is oppressed, and if the monarchs of all countries in this world are virtuous people, maybe Yunyi can be his own viscount with peace of mind, slowly develop the family, and inherit it for generations.

But this world is not a peaceful and prosperous world, ordinary people suffer from the oppression of the family, and countless people are frozen to death and starved to death every year, how can Yunyi be content with the status quo in the face of such a world?

A good man should have the world in mind, and a good man should travel in all directions and make immortal achievements!

After reading Yun Hao's flying pigeon biography, Yun Yi wants to go to Yingzhou more and more, but Yun Yi's coming-of-age ceremony is still more than half a month away, as the protagonist, Yun Yi must be present, if Yun Yi disappears, not only Yun Yi's elders will go crazy, but those guests who come to the ceremony will also despise and ridicule Yun Clan.

As the patriarch of the Yun clan, Yun Yi had to think about the family and could only wait slowly.

During this period, Shen Yu would come to Yunfu every day or two as a guest, and sat down with Yunyi to discuss, everything can become a topic of conversation between the two, Shen Yu has been to many places, Yunyi has the memory of two lives, and in the discussion, both of them have gained a lot of inspiration.

Shen Yu originally wanted to represent the Shen family and the Yun family to cooperate in the establishment of the Yun restaurant outside the Dali Empire, this matter was directly responded to by Yun Yi, the Yun family got a thirty percent share, and the Shen family got a seventy percent share, don't look at this ratio is less than the Yun family's fifty-fifty share in the Dali Empire, but think about it, the Yun family doesn't have much to do with the Dali Empire, the construction of the Yun restaurant is all paid by the Shen family, and the Shen family needs to dredge up the relationship, the Yun family can get a thirty percent share by only producing some chefs and recipes, this share is not high, but it is definitely not low.

More importantly, through this cooperation with Shen, Shen will help Yun's recruit various talents in the 100 northern countries.

The Northern Hundred Kingdoms are the most active areas of the Hundred Schools.
