As for the worst fields, the soil is poor, and there are either droughts or floods. This land will not be left empty, but sorghum will be grown. Sorghum is drought-resistant, also does not eat the soil, and is tall enough to compete with weeds for sunlight, even if there are many weeds, it can grow well.

Low-lying areas are planted with coix, which has a low yield but is resistant to waterlogging.

There will be no vacant land left at the head of the land, and crops such as mulberry trees, red beans, green onions and ginger can be planted.

In short, the land that can be planted should be planted with crops. If you can't plant the land, you have to find a way to grow crops. No piece of land should be left empty, even the worst of the land.

"The farmer is indeed a great talent." Chestnut said with a smile. Although he did not like the idea of the farmer, he could not admire the skill of the farmer.

Farmers don't just start by cultivating seeds to increase yields. Rather, it is tested and investigated from various angles such as cultivation technology, weeding, insect control, fertilization, soil, water and drought. According to many factors such as the fertility of each cultivated land, floods and droughts, mountains and plains, each crop is allocated and planted to achieve the optimal effect.

No one or any school of thought had ever been able to do this before.

If the farmer can survive millions of people, even if the ideas are not in agreement, it is not unacceptable, and even respect the other party.

"From now on, I, Zhao Guo, don't have to worry about food anymore." Li Mu said happily.

"When we take the Hetao, my Zhao State will also have the two granaries of Hebei and Hetao, which will be tied with Guanzhong and Bashu of the Qin State." Huang Shigong said.

The Qin State was able to continue to wage wars, and the two granaries of Guanzhong and Bashu contributed a lot. Now that Qin State does not have Zheng Guoqu, the output may not be as good as that of the Central Plains. However, there were no military disasters in Guanzhong, and all the wars of Qin took place in the enemy's territory, and although the domestic taxes were heavy, the people might not have enough to eat, but they would never starve to death.

And the Central Plains continued to suffer military disasters, no matter how high the yield was, as soon as the harvest came, the Qin State would attack, and it would not be able to harvest it, so it was useless, not to mention that the output was not much higher than that of the Qin State.

The period when there was no military disaster in the Central Plains could still be passed, and once a war broke out, people would starve to death.

"Report, King, Frontline Emergency." At this moment, a herald came from a distance and arched his hand.

"It's worthy of Le Yi." Zhao Kuo opened the battle report and looked at it, and said with emotion, and then his face changed, Le Yi's worry was not unreasonable, although it was unlikely that the Xiongnu would return to the grassland, but he had to guard against it, "Order the whole army, speed up, and arrive in Jiuyuan City in the evening the day after tomorrow."

……

In the account of the king of the Huns, Gu Tu sat on the throne with a gloomy face, his hair was a little unkempt, and he no longer had the vigor of the past, and Le Yi's battle made him clearly realize the gap between the Huns and the Zhao State.

The 150,000 Xiongnu army was killed and lost, and only more than 50,000 escaped with him, and the army of Quyan that he had worked so hard to conquer was gone, and only half of the Xiongnu king's cavalry, which he relied on the most, was left.

These are not the key, the key is that the leaders of the various tribes below are beginning to move, and Rong Di such as Xiu Wei, Heigu, and Zhu Raccoon have no longer have the fear of him.

Now there are two choices in front of him, one is to concentrate all his forces and fight to the death with the Zhao State, and if he wins, he will be the king of the grassland, and if he loses, he will have nothing.

The second option was to retreat to the grassland and cede all the land south of Yinshan to Zhao.

The former may plunge the Xiongnu into a place of no return.

The latter, everyone's previous months of hard work came up in smoke, weakening the strength of other tribes not only did not reach, but they themselves were weakened.

And...... Gu Tu handed over half of his tribe's pasture to Donghu in exchange for 100,000 soldiers and horses. I wanted to occupy the Hetao and then send troops to recapture it.

A big fist on the grassland is the last word, don't say that it is not moral to do this, we Huns do not talk about morality.

But now it is obvious that there is no strength to take it back, and the remaining half of the grassland is simply not able to support so many tribesmen, unless the pastures of other tribes of the Xiongnu are robbed.

The other tribal leaders were not fools, they understood this, and after receiving the news of Gutu's defeat, they discussed it, regardless of Gutu's preoccupation

Whose pasture, everyone must unite to oppose it.

After a long while, Gu Tu slowly raised his head, his cold gaze swept over everyone's faces, and said in a cold voice: "The strength of the Zhao army is indeed strong, but it is not invincible, the previous battle Zhao army only won on the reinforcements, if it wasn't for Zhao Feiqi to come in time, I would definitely kill Zhao Jiang under the horse."

The crowd didn't speak, and Gu Tu found himself a fig leaf, and there was no need for them to tear it off.

"I want to recruit another 100,000 soldiers and horses in Lou Fu, Zhu Fu, Heigu, Zhu Raccoon Dog, and Xiu Miao, and fight a decisive battle with Zhao State, and determine the ownership of the Hetao." Gu Tu said.

"Shan Yu, all the adult men of my Heigu have been recruited by you, and if you recruit my Heigu again, you will be dead." King Heigu said sadly.

Although Rong Di claims to be a soldier for all people, it is impossible for all adult men to go to the battlefield, and there must be some adult men left in the rear.

The Xiongnu had recruited most of the adult men of Heigu before, and even if this battle was won, Heigu would not be able to recover its strength without twenty years, if it was to be recruited again......

"The Black Gu King is reasonable, but he is in a hurry." Gu Tu got up and walked in front of the Heigu King, leaned over and saluted, the Heigu King didn't even dare to say, just about to get up and salute back, a knife flashed, and hot blood gushed out, splashing on the King of Hugh and the King of Zhu Raccoon next to him, frightening the two of them to turn pale.

"Go to the Black Girl Barracks and bring someone in randomly." Gu Tu tore off the fox fur coat on the Black Gu King, wiped the blood stains on the knife, and said to the guards at the door.

After a while, a man was brought in, and when he saw the Heigu King lying in a pool of blood, he was immediately speechless with fright.

"From now on, you are the Black Girl King." Gu Tu pointed to the man who walked in and said, he doesn't care what the other party's name is, just be obedient, and if you are disobedient, you will change another one.

"Is there anyone else against it now?" Gu Tu repeated the question just now and asked in a deep voice.

There was no objection......

It's not that Lou Fu and Ragged are united to compete with the Huns, but the two glanced at the Heigu King on the ground, and in the end they didn't dare to speak out against it, they didn't dare to bet.

The leaders of the Xiongnu tribes were also indifferent, they had been ready to join forces to resist Gu Tu, but since the other party chose to cut the flesh of other Rong Di, it had nothing to do with them.

After the demise of these Rongdi, the pasture will be its own.

"Within ten days, I want to see the recruits, and I can give half a month for Lou Fu and Ragged." Gu Tu said.

The crowd was submissive and did not dare to object.
