Chapter 448: The status quo of cottages

Liu Biao has two sons, the eldest son Liu Qi is smart and has a good set of winning over subordinates. So far, Jingzhou's general Huang Zu is firmly on Liu Qi's side.

As for Liu Biao's second son Liu Cong, although he is deeply loved by Liu Biao, he is too weak after all. In this troubled era, Liu Cong has such a character, and it is inevitable that he will lose power.

And Cai Mao chose the team at this time because Cai Mao felt that Liu Biao was not suitable to continue to sit in the position of the lord of Jingzhou. Although Jingzhou is prosperous, it is like a pool of muddy water, and if outsiders want to catch a few fish, it is very likely that one of them will accidentally put themselves in.

Ye Mo didn't know about the changes in Jingzhou, but when Ye Mo returned to the cottage, although those people knew Ye Mo's status in Luoyang, they were still enthusiastic about Ye Mo.

Although the people in the cottage said that they knew that Ye Mo could be the former lieutenant of the dynasty at the beginning, they did not think that Ye Mo's status was very high after all. This time was different, what happened after Ye Mo left the cottage suddenly made the leaders understand Ye Mo's invisible status.

It's just that on the day Ye Mo came back, before the leader could express his awe, the big bull ran directly in front of Ye Mo, punched Ye Mo twice, and then said: "Strategist, it's not kind!" You've been away for so long, and you didn't bring anything to eat when you came back? ”

Originally, the leader was still respectful, but as soon as Da Niu opened his mouth, the entire atmosphere was suddenly destroyed, and where could the leader be strict.

A meeting that would have been very embarrassing was resolved by Da Niu in this way, and it was as foolish as wisdom. Nothing more.

Moreover, when Ye Mo returned to the cottage, he found that the cottage had also suffered from a locust plague. It's just that, unlike the outside, the locust plague in the cottage is not very strict.

First of all. The cottage is originally located on the mountain, but there are relatively many birds and beasts. In addition, there were originally wooden villages on the periphery, and after the outbreak of the locust plague, the farmers summoned by the system also commanded the bandits in the cottage to use wooden strips to process those wooden villages into fences, which could block some locusts.

Moreover, those peasants summoned by the system. But when the people in the cottage were not paying attention, a large flock of turkeys was served. There is no way, they can deal with the living creatures of huàn, either turkeys or sheep, and they can't use sheep to deal with locusts.

There's such a big flock of turkeys. It has indeed worked wonders in dealing with locust plagues.

In addition, the main crops have already been turned into potatoes and corn in the cottage, and although the corn has been basically destroyed in this locust plague, the potatoes are still there. Moreover, although the corn seedlings were destroyed, the people in the cottage did not affect the harvest after replanting potatoes.

At this time, Ye Mo was sitting in the middle of a large flock of turkeys. Think carefully about the recipe.

That's right, Ye Mo was sitting in the middle of a large group of turkeys at this time, listening to the cries of this group of turkeys every day. Smelling the excrement of this flock of turkeys every day, even walking ten steps in the cottage will step on the excrement of the turkeys five out of ten steps. And this is the result of someone cleaning every day.

This is not an exaggeration, the cottage originally lived in more than 1,000 people, plus less than 500 acres of land, but raised more than 5,000 turkeys. If it weren't for the threat of locust plagues. These turkeys can kill people, what difference can this be from living on a chicken farm?

Of course. Those peasants came out with so many turkeys when the locust plague passed through the place. It is indeed a good way to suppress the disaster.

But when the first locust plague passed, the turkeys became a burden to the cottage.

Now if you count it, two thousand turkeys in the cottage are definitely enough. As for the others, under Ye Mo's insistence, two thousand were released into the mountains and forests. As for the extra thousand, it was the reason why Ye Mo thought about the recipe.

The turkey is not like the domestic chickens raised by the Chinese people in Ye Mo's previous life, although the turkey has higher nutritional value, but the meat is a bit of firewood. Moreover, although Ye Mo had eaten turkey, he had only eaten roast.

If Xiang Yemo roasted a thousand turkeys this time, then it would be better to let them go.

"Strategist, what are you thinking?" Just when Ye Mo was still thinking about how to turn the turkeys in front of him into food, Da Niu kicked the turkey all the way, got half of the and ran in front of Ye Mo.

Seeing Da Niu like this, Ye Mo couldn't help but stand up and take two steps back. This taste, the big cow actually doesn't dislike it?

Originally, Ye Mo covered his nose with his hand, but he also felt that it might not be good to do so, so Ye Mo also put his hand down. "Da Niu, you came to me, but what can't you do?"

Although Ye Mo's previous actions were a little disrespectful, Da Niu didn't care at all. If it weren't for the fact that he had lived with these turkeys for a long time, Da Niu would actually care about these things very much. It's just that after seeing that the turkey can deal with locusts, he and the others in the cottage didn't say anything more.

"Hehe, military advisor, my mother-in-law asked me to ask the military advisor, can our family slaughter a chicken and marinate it?" During Ye Mo's absence, Da Niu had good luck and married a daughter-in-law.

When Ye Mo heard Da Niu say this, he immediately patted his head, how could he forget this stubble?

"Yes, of course. Go to every household, and say that each family can slaughter a chicken, and dry and smoke it as you like. Ye Mo immediately made a decision. Each family slaughters a chicken, although it seems like a lot, but there are less than 400 households in the cottage.

As soon as Da Niu heard Ye Mo's words, he was immediately excited, and he didn't even say hello to Ye Mo, but went to tell the other people in the cottage the good news.

As for Ye Mo, at this time, because of Da Niu's words, his mind suddenly opened.

Think about the 5,000-year-old civilization of China, among which the food culture is even more profound and profound, how can you not even deal with a small turkey?

Suddenly, the names of dishes such as flower turkey, kung pao turkey, and mushroom stewed turkey directly appeared in Ye Mo's mind. This is due to the fact that there are no ingredients such as cola, otherwise, Ye Mo is really going to have an all-turkey feast.

Thinking about these questions, naturally, is just to pass the leisure time. Now that this problem has passed, what Ye Mo has to consider next is naturally about the development of cottages.

Not long after the locust plague broke out, the number of people who fell into the grass in the vicinity has gradually increased. If these people are not managed, it will inevitably affect the livelihood of the people in the vicinity in the future.

It's just that how to deal with those bandits is a big problem. If it is a bandit formed by the new grass, then it is good to say, at least those people are not very powerful, and if they see that there are old forces that will take them in, it is estimated that there will be no resistance.

The difficulty lies in the fact that there are some old forces, and their strength is not weaker than the bandits in this cottage where Ye Mo is located. If there is a conflict at that time, it is really not enough to rely on these bandits alone.

Perhaps, it is possible that some allies will need help. It's just that where to find allies and what kind of allies to find is a big question. (To be continued)
