"Champa claims to have 200,000 soldiers and horses, but in fact, the army that really belongs to the Cham king will not exceed 40,000, and the army that belongs to the heads of the major tribes will not exceed this number. The so-called 200,000 is only able to make up this whole number if even those people who are blindly calling with bamboo spears are counted. ”

Hearing Yang Gongren's naughty words, everyone couldn't help but laugh. Even Ben Gongzi couldn't help but smile, this guy is worthy of being a family with Yang Shidao and Yang Gongdao, he is cautious, but he is quite funny and popular.

"After several years of work, our evaluation of the combat effectiveness of the Cham country is level three." Speaking of this, Yang Gongren gestured three fingers. "Although our Jiaozhi Corps is only 50,000, they are all the elite of the elite, and with the good work done in the past few years, we have actually mastered nearly one-third of the territory and combat effectiveness of the Champa country."

"Therefore, in this battle, as long as there are no major mistakes, we will definitely be able to take the entire territory of Champa."

"Well, by the way, let's talk about the customs and customs of the Cochin area." I nodded in satisfaction, and then smiled at Du Ruhan.

Du Ruhui nodded, stood up, walked to the sand table, and began to point and speak. The land of Cochin and Cham is rich in minerals, has an excellent harbor, and there are three crops of grain a year, as well as all kinds of spices that are necessary for the tropical production...... In short, every thing you say will make the hearts of these civil and military ministers who attended the meeting all the way.

In particular, grain is the most important supporting factor for the Chinese nation, which represents the most orthodox agricultural civilization. According to the intelligence department's reconnaissance over the past few years, the number of fields owned by the land of Jiaozhi alone and the land of the Cham country is about 15 million mu.

This is also because of the lack of manpower in many areas, and the fact that these barbarians are lazy and gluttonous, and they are not willing to reclaim the land at all. According to intelligence, the actual amount of rice fields that can be cultivated in this large area should be between 4,000 and 45 million mu.

However, even so, the output of 15 million mu of rice, if there are three seasons a year, can get about five stone of grain per year, that is to say, this area alone is close to the amount of grain produced by the Bashu region, and the total population here is only more than 1.2 million.

Everyone grinned, like a bunch of hippos waiting to be fed by the breeder. Even if people in the north eat less rice, it is definitely a good choice to use so much food for disaster relief or to ensure the country's food security.

In addition, there is also a large potato, which is the staple food introduced from Tianzhu by some local barbarians in the mountainous areas of the Cham country, and this large potato has been carefully cultivated and studied by the agronomists who have been dispatched to the past, and detailed data have been obtained.

This cassava yield is not small, although it is poisonous when eaten raw, but after processing, it can obtain a large amount of potato flour, which is a very good choice for making wine.

Well, when I first heard about this kind of thing, I was shocked by this kind of thing, and I thought that someone had traveled to this era in advance, and brought the sweet potato from the American continent to Asia.

Later, after seeing the real thing, I learned that this kind of big potato originated in Tianzhu. Perennial winding herbaceous vine. Wild tubers are mostly oblong cylindrical; The tubers of cultivators are highly varied, with long cylindrical, conical, spherical, oblate and overlapping, or branched.

It is irregular cylindrical, similar to the size of sweet potato, the surface is light brownish yellow to brownish yellow, there are longitudinal wrinkles, there are often unfinished cork traces, the texture is solid, the section is light yellow, and there are a small number of light brown dots. It is odorless, sweet and slightly sour, and sticky.

And no matter how I look at this thing, I feel a bit like the yellow-core sweet potato eaten in later generations, but for the sake of safety first, I still handed this thing over to the Royal Society of Medicine, and after the study of the members of the Royal Society of Medicine, it was determined that this thing is non-toxic, and it also strengthens the spleen and stops diarrhea; It has the effect of nourishing the lungs and kidneys.

When cooked, it has a soft and waxy texture, and it feels like a combination of yam and sweet potato, and it has a fresh fragrance of yam. The most suitable thing for this thing is cooked food, whether it is steamed or fried, it has a good flavor. However, it can only adapt to the southern climate, that is, the Qiqi area, the Lingnan area, and the southern Yunnan area are suitable for planting.

The yield is not small, and those barbarians in the land of Jiaozhi can also grow an income of about 300 catties per acre. Under the careful management of the farmers stationed in Jiaozhi, the output reached 500 catties.

This kind of yield is indeed very large, and the important thing is that it can grow in any hot area, regardless of whether it is a mountainous area or a low-lying area. The Lingnan, Qiqi, and southern Yunnan regions are all mountainous and less plain, and this thing is very suitable for planting.

And it is resistant to storage, after being wrapped in wet mud, placed in a cool kiln, and left for two years without much problem. Such an amount of food that can be stored for a long time is really very gratifying to this child, although the yield is far less than those high-yielding staples from the New World.

But before the Chinese Empire set foot in the New World, these things were relatively prolific staples that we desperately needed.

At present, this son has ordered a trial planting in the area of Qiqi County, and the effect is good, but it has not yet been fully promoted. In addition, the area around Cochin is really a treasure of feng shui, not only can the grain be transported to the outside under the condition of ensuring self-sufficiency, in addition, all kinds of minerals are also very rich, and there are many timber resources are outrageously rich, and there are many excellent timber used to repair ships, and the age of the trees is more than 100 years old.

According to those old shipwrights, with such good materials for shipbuilding, not to mention a 500-ton ship, even if it is a ship of one or two thousand tons, they are sure that they can build it.

Although this may seem exaggerated and boastful, it also shows that high-quality wood is the foundation of shipbuilding. The wood used in the boats built in Hancheng County is far inferior to that of Cochin, both in terms of material and age. Nowadays, with such a large base of high-quality materials, it is believed that at most two to three years, the first 1,000-ton clipper or fortune ship will be able to be launched.

At that time, it is believed that it will be easy to go to the big island of Liuqiu, or Mindanao.

Back home, my sister brought my little nephew to the door, the little guy is white and tender like a doll in the New Year's painting, seeing everyone smile and look like a good old man, it is really a bit like his father's smiling tiger nature. However, it's still not as good as my two daughters. Well, in my eyes, my daughter is the most beautiful girl in the world, of course, my two mothers-in-law are not inferior.

"Brother, Xie Lu thanks you, you helped my husband and father-in-law again." Innocent stood beside me with a smile, but her eyes kept following her son and my nephew. With a look of satisfaction and tranquility, at this moment, I can't help but feel a little emotional, the little girl who used to be in front of me has also grown into an adult, a wife, and a mother.

It's no longer the little girl who walks around behind my ass and cheers for my brother all day long.

"It's okay, it's not just kind to do this for my brother." I smiled, there was nothing I couldn't say about my own sister.

Wujian nodded understandingly: "Little sister knows what Brother Dao thinks. Brother, you are not only here to help my husband and father-in-law, but also for the future of Huaxia. ”

"Brother, do you know the way? Regardless of whether the little sister is married or not, I am your sister's eldest grandson. Xiaomei believes in you, brother, you are the most qualified emperor in this era. "The clear, unadulterated eyes were quiet, with a hint of admiration, and they seemed so kind, as in the past.

"If you think so, that's even better." I took a deep breath, shook off the emotion in my heart and nodded, it seems that my sister still understands my brother very well.

"But brother, since you have already made a glass mirror, why don't you even take care of your sister?" Before I could finish my complacency, the girl came up with a wicked smile and asked.

Damn, it must have been said by the two losers, otherwise how could my sister know that the glass mirror had been made. However, now is definitely not a good time to show off. Ben Gongzi squeezed out a sincere and kind smile and said: "Don't worry, my brother will naturally not lose my sister, but this time is still in the trial production stage, and I haven't done it all yet, and when it's really done, my brother will definitely give it to my sister as a gift." ”

"Hmm...... That's Xie Lu Xie brother. Only then did the innocent fade away from his anger and said with a smile.

Where does this girl know that this son's bedroom has been covered with glass mirrors, and now after entering it, it will be impossible to find the south, south, west, and north. Well, at night, after lighting the candles, the whole room looks so crystal clear, especially when it comes to the mother-in-law, as exciting as it gets.

"Brother, why are you drooling?" Innocent is curious. was so frightened that Lao Tzu was startled, and quickly wiped the corners of his mouth indiscriminately. "Don't talk nonsense, my brother is worrying about the country and the people."

"Cut, it's strange to believe you. By the way, brother, my sister-in-law said that she wouldn't take me to your bedroom to visit, what is the secret? Wujian asked curiously, so frightened that Lao Tzu's heart jumped up. If this girl goes in, it's strange that she doesn't hate me as a brother, and she doesn't even give a piece of it to her sister when she sticks mirrors all over the house.

"Well, the decoration hasn't been renovated yet, and it's out of the pool, so the bedroom is temporarily closed." I quickly squeezed out a smile and explained. Then he threw a grateful look at the two mothers-in-law, in exchange for two pairs of lovely white eyes.

"Oh, then let's see it next time, brother, you are not allowed to lie to me, I hid something good in the bedroom and didn't show it to my little sister." is worthy of my sister, although she doesn't know the truth, but her guess faintly points to the truth.
