Chapter 188: The Coalition of the Three Yi Clans
Yang Zilu opened the household register and field register sent by Chonghu, which had just been counted. Unexpectedly, the population of this Dong'an Department is really quite a lot, and after a big war, there are still 3,000 people, of which 1,000 are Ding. What excites Yang Zilu the most is that there are 100,000 acres of land in Dong'an City, but because of its proximity, it is often eroded by seawater, and the agricultural technology is relatively backward, and the average per mu of land is only two stones and three buckets. However, there are 230,000 stone of grain in a year, and according to the tentative ten taxes and two of the Han Kingdom, there is also an annual income of 46,000 stones. In particular, because the Han Kingdom is located in the mountains, there are only Juyi and Juwu cities in the granary.
Juyi is good to say now, there are now 150,000 mu of land, and an additional 150,000 mu can be developed, of course, this is already the limit. But don't look at 30 acres of land, it seems like a lot, but it is only enough to house about 3,000 households, that is, about 15,000 people. In addition, there is a sentence without a city, and the sentence without a city is not bad, and there are 200,000 acres of fertile land.
But helplessly, Wucheng is on the front line, and Yang Zilu does not dare to increase his efforts to develop. In the event of war, the previous investment in these fields will be cleaner than if they were thrown into the water, or at least there is a thud in the water. In the long run, if the problem of land is not solved, the Han country will not look at the length of 600 miles, but the population will reach 40,000 at most, and no matter how much productivity in this era is used, it will not be able to support it. There are more than 100,000 people in Yueguo, and Yang Zilu doesn't think he can fight big with 40,000 people.
And now, it's okay to find so many fields at once, although it's almost enough, it's enough for Yang Zilu to be happy. The most important thing is the potential here, according to Chonghu, the coast is a slender plain, although the fields are not very good, but the rain is abundant, and the land is large enough to be completely reclaimed, at least there are 20,000 hectares of fields. One hundred acres of one acre! The yield per mu is a little less, and it is not as good as 100 acres of land in the Central Plains that can be resettled for a family. However, if we calculate that one household is resettled in 150 mu, theoretically 13,333 households can be resettled, and five people in one household can be resettled, which is equivalent to a population of more than 66,000.
However, Yang Zilu didn't have time to think about how to increase the development of the new territory, and Chonghu had already broken into the high platform with a panicked face. He was followed by two guards with hideous faces.
"Lord! Big things are wrong! Chonghu ignored the sword drawn by the reckless man standing beside Yang Zilu, and the two guards behind him, and suddenly fell on the floor and exclaimed.
Seeing this, the two guards were a little at a loss, but they still stared at Chonghu, afraid that this guy would do something to assassinate him.
"When the sky falls, I'm carrying it, what are you afraid of!" Yang Zilu scolded dissatisfiedly, and at the same time waved his hand to Mang Gao and the guards, signaling that Mang Gao did not need to be nervous, Mang Gao then inserted the sword into the scabbard, the two guards glanced at each other, gave a military salute to Yang Zilu, and slowly withdrew. As for Chonghu who trespassed in, Yang Zilu is really not afraid that this guy will do something to assassinate himself, now Chonghu and Yang Zilu's interests are closely related, Chonghu He is not stupid enough to do such a thing that hurts others and himself.
When Chonghu heard this, he was more or less comforted. However, his face was not very good, and he said with a sad face: "Lord, the day before yesterday, I sent a henchman to inquire about the news. ”
"Hmm!" Yang Zilu nodded noncommittally, he also knew about this matter, and he personally ordered it to be approved.
"As a result, I found out that the old man actually said that the lord was sent by Zhou Tianzi to kill the Sanyi clan! Now the Sanyi tribes south of Dong'an City have united and are preparing to attack Dong'an City! Chonghu said with a sad face.
"What are you afraid of! It's not just the tribe south of the Sanyi tribe, how many troops can there be! Yang Zilu said disappreciably.
When Chonghu heard this, his face became even more ugly, as if he had died of his father and mother, and said, "Lord, you don't know!" There are only two small tribes of the Sanyi tribe north of the Dong'an Ministry, and there are no 1,000 people in total, and the Sanyi tribe in the south of the Dong'an Department is basically equal to the Sanyi tribe as a whole! Although the coalition did not have the best efforts of each tribe, there were 6,000 people! ”
Yang Zilu's disapproving face changed dramatically, and people at this time are still relatively honest (you can also understand stupidity). There are a thousand people who will never say one thousand and one, unlike later generations, in the Three Kingdoms era, Cao Ying was only 200,000 people and claimed to be a million troops, and this number has doubled several times. Now Yang Zilu hopes that the people of this era are not honest, so that the real strength of the so-called 6,000 people is usually more than 4,000 people, or even less, how can it be a little easier to deal with than 6,000 people.
Chonghu suddenly thought of a piece of good news, and immediately said: "Lord, but according to my henchman, it is already July, and there are still two months to go before the autumn harvest. And this coalition army is already troublesome, and it takes almost a month to prepare, plus the troops, if you don't do it well, you will delay the autumn harvest, so the time of sending troops is said to be set in October after the autumn harvest! Now the Lord has almost three months to prepare! ”
When Yang Zilu heard this, he was also a little relieved, these 6,000 people didn't come now, otherwise Yang Zilu would have to smear oil on the soles of his feet, and he would have to sneak away first. First, there were almost fifty dead and wounded in the battle, and then Yu Miao escorted Haiyan back with a hundred people, so now Yang Zilu only has six hundred and fifty people in his hands.
No matter how arrogant Yang Zilu is, he will not be stupid enough to think that he can defeat the 6,000 Sanyi Clan Alliance with 650 people, then it is simply one as ten, you Dao Sanyi Clan Coalition is muddy? Besides, there are almost half of the soldiers in Yang Zilu's hands now, that is, three hundred, who are just volunteers who have just participated in a battle.
It's good that there is room for maneuver now, and Yang Zilu will not give up easily if he says anything to Dong'an City, not to mention that there are a lot of fields here. Just the resource of sea salt, Yang Zilu is unwilling to give up easily.
Yang Zilu immediately sent people back to Jiukui City, let Kan Pingtian enter a combat state, and the ordnance supervisor worked day and night for twelve hours to build weapons. In addition, people were sent to the subordinate tribes of the Loss Zibu and the Guiguo Department to ask them to send troops.
But soon Yang Zilu had a headache, and he forgot a very important thing, Xiaohu, Xi Shi, and Zheng Dan had already come to Dong'an City. It's not impossible if Yang Zilu lets them go back now, but in the eyes of the Dong'an people who just surrendered to Yang Zilu, it also means that Yang Zilu will abandon them at any time. Even if Yang Zilu wins the battle afterwards, it will take a lot of effort to win people's hearts. And even the army loyal to Yang Zilu will inevitably be affected to a certain extent in terms of morale.
