Since then, Zhao Suhou has often come to Yang Feng's place, called greetings, and is really seeking advice. Every time, Zhao Suhou returned with a full load.

On this day, Zhao Suhou came here again.

"It seems that King Zhao has had a happy event recently? ”

"Hehe, why do you say this? All this is thanks to Mr. ”

"When I came here just now, I saw that Mr. Wang's farmland had started to be watered, and it seemed that this method was very convenient. ”

The king said with a smile, I will draw the drawings, and the king can hand them over to the craftsmen to make them, and then promote them throughout the country. In this way, a lot of land can be irrigated, and it is estimated that there will be a bumper harvest next year. Congratulations to the King. ”

"Sir, as long as you follow the tools you made, you can have a good harvest by watering in times of drought?"

"Well, of course not. There is also a method for this watering. We mainly grow wheat for a living. What about wheat. The ground should be irrigated about a week before it is planted so that the soil is moist and the seeds germinate easily, but also to facilitate the growth of wheat in autumn and winter. The second irrigation, which should be in the winter, is to prepare the wheat for the next spring, and at the same time to freeze the insects in the land. The third irrigation is in the season when the wheat is raised, and the fourth is when the wheat is flowering. As long as the water is irrigated according to the season, the wheat will be abundant. Of course, you can't use too much water for each irrigation, and the land can be wet for one foot. ”

"It seems that Mr. is also proficient in agriculture, I really don't know what Mr. can't" Since Zhao Suhou was conquered by Yang Feng's talent, Zhao Suhou's name for Yang Feng has also changed. They used to call him a warrior, but now they call him a gentleman.

"Hehe, the king can't be careless, after all, this grain is the lifeblood of Zhao State. More cellars and wells should be dug near the ditch to store water in normal times, and in times of drought, if there is no water in the river, you can use the water from the cellar for irrigation, so that nothing goes wrong. ”

"Well, that's a great method, and when I get back, I'll have a ditch and a cellar dug at once. Mr. Zhao Guoguo, it's really my Zhao Guo's luck. ”

"Zhao Guo has won the award. Opening ditches and digging water cellars were relatively huge projects, and the king could take out a part of the sergeants to work on the one hand, and at the same time a part of the common people, as long as those who participated in the project could be exempted from taxes. Of course, it is better to start work during the slack time, so as not to affect food production, and at the same time to free up more manpower. ”

"Isn't it okay to dig a water cellar militarily?" Zhao Suhou hesitated when he heard this.

"Don't think too much, your lord. Only some, not all. Think about it again, the time is urgent, and if there is not enough manpower at that time, it will affect the output of grain. In this case, the king's hegemony will drag on for a longer time. ”

"Oh well. As soon as he heard that his hegemony was going to be delayed, Zhao Suhou immediately made up his mind.

"In fact, the king has 200,000 troops, and he can remove 50,000 of them through competitions, and go to open up wasteland and cultivate land, so that the country's treasury will become more substantial, and the army can be maintained for a longer time. In addition, through competitions, better soldiers can be selected, which is conducive to competition among soldiers, and a virtuous circle can be formed. ”

"In this way, isn't the number of troops going to be reduced?" Zhao Suhou had some unhappiness on his face, after all, this was a little contrary to his own thoughts.

"The king is too worried. As long as the country has more food, then the population will increase, and of course the soldiers will increase. In this way, it will only make the quality of the sergeant better and stronger. Survival of the fittest. The reduction in the number of troops is only temporary, and after two years, the population will become more and more, and the king will have reasonable rewards and punishments, and the number of troops will increase.

"So the main thing now is to be able to have more grain and grass, so that Zhao can develop. Otherwise, no matter how many troops there are, but there is no food and grass, it will be starving to death. ”

"Well, that's all there is to it. Zhao Suhou sighed.

"In fact, the king, regarding grain and grass, the supply can also increase by 30%. ”

"Ah, can it be increased by three percent?" Zhao Suhou was very surprised after hearing this, and thought in his heart, according to Yang Feng's approach, then, next year can be effective, and the grain and grass can be increased by two to three times as much as before, if it can be increased by three percent, that year is equivalent to the harvest of at least three years in the past, in this way, can Zhao Guo not become stronger. His hegemony is even closer.

Mr. Wen elaborated. ”

"Wheat is generally planted in autumn and harvested in summer, so there are still a few months in between, and this time is the best time for plants to grow, and if they can be used, then there will definitely be as much food as possible. ”

"Originally, it used to be two kinds in two years, but now there are three in two years, so there is one more harvest. Of course, it is impossible to grow wheat. We can find some summer grains, such as sweet potatoes, which, moreover, have a high yield and are drought tolerant. ”

"Yes, that's great, sir is really a man of God. If my Zhao country is strong, it must be the credit of Mr. ”

"Sir, what method did you say last time to deal with the Wei Ironclad Cavalry and the Phalanx Formation?"

"There are many types of troops in this world, but if you encounter a class that is mutually restrictive, then the elite class will also be defeated. ”

"Arms are mutually restrictive?" Zhao Suhou asked, this was the first time he had heard such a statement.

"Yes, when an ordinary soldier meets an iron horseman, it is a sheep into the wolf's mouth, and in the same way, when a cavalry meets a heavily armored soldier, there is no chance of victory. Of course, it's all close-quarters combat. Light cavalry is a sword for long-range attacks, but it can also be a mobile unit with rapid sorties. There are many types of troops, such as cavalry, infantry, spearmen, sword soldiers, shield soldiers, archers, etc. All branches of the armed forces should cooperate with each other. ”

"There are so many troops, so how to cooperate. Han Le, who was on the side, couldn't help but ask.

"Cavalry is a kind of fast movement, and if it is combined with archers, it is a sharp sword for raiding. Raid from a distance, and leave immediately after releasing an arrow. Or let the arrows go while walking, so that it is difficult for the enemy to grasp the position of the archers. In addition, when the light cavalry encountered heavy armor in a surprise attack, once it was surrounded, it would be miserable, and it would basically be the destruction of the entire army. Light cavalry is very difficult to surprise in front of heavy armor. In addition, when the light cavalry encountered an orderly infantry phalanx, it was also very miserable. ”

Therefore, the cooperation of the arms and the generals of the battle are the ones who determine the success or failure of a war. ”

"It turns out that there is so much knowledge in leading soldiers, and I dare to ask Mr. to be able to teach and help train soldiers in the army" After all, he didn't understand a lot of things, so he wanted to invite Yang Feng to teach in the army.

The two agreed on a time, and Zhao Suhou and Han Le left. Within a few days, Han Le sent troops to pick up people from the village that Yang Feng had been to before.

It's just that the people of that village were very surprised when they first saw the officers and soldiers, and they didn't expect that someone would pick them up to Handan, although they didn't know who, but there was no way, after all, those officers and soldiers were not jealous, so that the people of a village came to Handan in a daze, and it wasn't until they saw Yang Feng that everyone understood.

After the task of those soldiers was completed, they left, and Yang Feng's side was very lively at the moment, hundreds of people came at once, and the house and other items were all problems, so Yang Feng asked Kong Xuan to take people to purchase. At the same time, the rest of the people will be handed over to the management of the Houtu.

Houtu will give different divisions of labor to the rest of the people according to different ages. Children under the age of 10 practice martial arts every day. And the age of 10 to 15 trains in the morning and works in the fields in the afternoon. From fifteen to twenty-five years old, they were all gathered to train and keep the village safe. From the age of twenty-five to fifty, he was a good hand at working in the fields. As for those over 50 years old, they do some work at home, such as framing, breeding, etc.

In this way, the pattern of a village was slowly formed. In order to commemorate Yang Feng's contributions, the village was named Yangjiazhuang. No one would have thought that this village would become famous in the Seven Kingdoms in the future.
