In the small courtyard, Bird Di is basking in the sun. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Mo family boy's face was still pale, but his spirit was much better.

He sat quietly in his chair, with a gentle smile on his young and handsome face, playing an unknown game of chess with the old ranger Zhaofeng. The chess pieces used are mud blocks and plant rhizomes found in the courtyard, and the chessboard is Zhao Feng used a sword to draw on the table on the spot, with five chess pieces on each side, but after a while, the old ranger has been eaten two pieces, and he is forced to be frightened by the chess pieces of the bird, and the old ranger's face is flushed.

This ancient chess game relies on the pinching of chess pieces to capture the opponent's chess pieces.

The old ranger's chess pieces are gone, and they are obviously out of luck.

The old man began to play Laipi: "I haven't played it for a long time, you have to be familiar with it, this game doesn't count, start again!" ”

Bird Di is strong in his bones, but that is a trait that will only be shown when dealing with enemies, and he has always had the style of a humble gentleman, and he is even more respectful and polite in front of his predecessors. Seeing the old man like this, Yu Di blamed himself a little, and it seemed that he shouldn't be too serious when playing chess with the old man, which made people lose face.

Yu Di said secretly: "It's a shame that I didn't learn to play chess quietly......"

The old man proposed to start over, and the young man of the Mo family naturally would not object.

There was a burst of boos from the side.

Qu Chen, a young man in blue, stroked his forehead and said: "Uncle, this is all familiar with five plates, how many plates do you have to be familiar with, can you always give a real number......

A certain village chief said bitterly: "Old man, don't bring this." Why don't you cool off on the sidelines and give the others a chance? Take a break, and maybe it'll be your turn to shine later......"

Mocked by two young people, Zhao Feng was furious, threw away the chess pieces, and walked away angrily.

"The seniors are angry."

Bird Di wanted to play a round, but the old man had already slipped away and disappeared.

"Xiao Di don't scream, the old man won't be so stingy. It's just that he lost so many of you in a row, and he knew that he couldn't get it back, so he took the opportunity to find the bottom of the stairs. Yu Buzhi laughed.

Bird Di was relieved and said apologetically: "It's all because I don't know how to advance ......or retreat."

Qu Chen slandered: "Killing the seniors, pretending to be innocent afterwards, this fang is really insidious......"

Xu Shu appeared at the gate of the small courtyard.

"Lord, the guide has been found, can I leave now?"

"Let's go." Yu Buzhi stood up and invited Yu Di and Qu Chen: "Xiao Di has been lying in bed for so many days, it's time to go out and take a walk." Qu Chen has been busy taking care of Xiao Di since he came to the territory, and he wanted to find a time to take you around the neighborhood. We're going to Baihu Mountain now, so let's go together. ”

Xu Shu was not surprised by this, he knew the thoughts of a certain village chief.

Qu Chen's performance in Yidao Gorge was eye-catching, and a certain village chief was moved by his love for talents, and his heart and mind pulled Qu Chen in. Recently, Yu Buzhi has often run to Yu Di, just to get as close as possible to Qu Chen.

Bird Di gladly agreed.

Qu Chen was originally coming for Yu Di, and when he saw that Yu Di was going, he would not object.

The village chief and the deputy village chief traveled at the same time, and in addition to the guide, more than a dozen soldiers accompanied by the deer chaser soldiers.

The guide is an old man chasing deer, and if he wants to understand the situation of the territory, he naturally has to find a native deer chaser.

The old man was very talkative, and the opportunity to serve as a guide for the lord and others made the old man seem to be in high spirits.

Yu Buzhi and Xu Shu climbed Baihu Mountain together, naturally they didn't have nothing to do to go to the mountain to see the scenery, the purpose of their trip was to survey the terrain and choose a site for the new affiliated territory.

With the continuous influx of refugees, the population of Zhululing has increased rapidly and is close to the upper limit.

The Deer Collar is a Level 3 village with 4 subordinate provinces.

However, the current three subordinate territories of the Zhulu Territory, Bashan Village, Yeyu Village, and Baihu Village, are all level 2 villages, and they only need to upgrade each subsidiary territory to level 3 to accept 2,100 more people.

Yu Buzhi and Xu Shu did this in advance, but it was actually out of consideration for the overall layout of the territory.

When it comes to the layout of the territory, you have to figure out the terrain around the deer territory first.

With Zhululing as the center, there are plains to the east and north, Baihu Mountain to the west, and the Han River and the Danqu Water to the south. In terms of the ease of development and whether there is enough room for expansion in the future, it seems that the dependent territory is more suitable to be built on the relatively flat east and north sides.

But the reality is far from that simple.

As a lord, you first need to think about how to keep your territory safe.

A territory that cannot guarantee its own security can easily become a target for others to covet.

Because of this, the first two subordinate territories established by Zhululing, Bashan Village and Yeyu Village, are both to the west of Zhululing, between Zhululing and Baihu Mountain. These two subordinate territories have Baihu Mountain as a barrier on the left and the main base of Zhulu on the right, and once an enemy attacks, the direction to be defended is not so large.

The establishment of subordinate territories usually needs to be carried out around the main base, with the main base as the center and gradually expanding outward.

The third subordinate territory, Baihu Village, is located to the east of the Zhulu Territory.

It seems that the Fourth Dependent Territory would be a choice between the north and the south. However, after carefully analyzing the actual situation of Zhululing, Xu Shu put forward a different opinion.

Giving priority to the establishment of subordinate territories in the plains is a typical agricultural civilization.

The number of Han people who lead the deer occupies an obvious dominant position, but the number of Yi people in the territory is increasing, which is also a fact that must be faced. Although the Yi people in the territory come from the flow of refugees, but recently, Xu Shu has clearly noticed that the number of Yi people in the vicinity of the territory is also increasing.

So here's the problem.

Most of the Yi people are good at hunting, and their farming level is not as good as that of the Han people, if the territory is still in accordance with the usual practice, giving priority to setting up subordinate territories in the plains, where will the many Yi people be placed? It is true that the territory can also adapt the people to agriculture through education, but in that case, it will inevitably weaken the blood and bravery of the people, making it more difficult for the deer leader to recruit good fighters from the people.

In order to maintain the bravery and warlike spirit of the people, it is necessary to create a suitable environment for them.

They have to keep the habit of hunting in the mountains, and fighting lions and tigers in the mountain streams is the favorite of the Yi people.

The Yimin need vast hunting grounds.

So Xu Shu proposed: In the future, the subordinate territory should be established around the Baihu Mountain area first.

The priority is to establish a subsidiary territory in Baihu Mountain, not that Xu Shu intends to let more villagers learn to hunt.

Baihu Mountain is not large, with a radius of more than 20 miles and a total area of about 100 square kilometers.

Fifty miles west of the White Tiger Mountain, there is another player's territory, and if the other party continues to develop to the east, the power will reach the White Tiger Mountain sooner or later. Xu Shu planned to strike first, and before the other party's tentacles stretched out, he would first surround Baihu Mountain with a subordinate territory, so that Baihu Mountain would become the back garden of the Zhulu Leader.

Yu Buzhi was quite excited about this plan.

Enclosing Baihu Mountain, the benefit of the territory is not just to allow the people to keep their hunting grounds. Minerals, herbs, and timber resources in the mountains can all bring wealth to the territory, and if the territory needs to develop medicinal herb cultivation or animal husbandry in the future, Baihu Mountain is also a treasure land.

This is a big project that may affect the strategic direction of the territory's development.

A certain village chief and Xu Shu were unwilling to make a hasty decision, and they had to see what choice to make.
