Putting away a pile of inferior papers, Zhao Si and Wang Li drove together to Zhao Si's field.

Zhao Si's field is only fifteen hectares, concentrated outside Xianyang City, the location is very good, the surrounding ditches have been built, easy to irrigate, the terrain is flat, it is a first-class fertile land.

It's just that the grain has been planted on it now, although it is a pity, but it is still necessary to order it to be pulled out, after all, this loss is borne by Zhao Si himself, and secondly, Zhao Si has to plant a large number of all kinds of seeds, this is not a blue field, and there is no wasteland for him to reclaim.

The subordinates were a little heartbroken, but they did not dare to question Zhao Si's decision-making, and obeyed the orders to uproot them one by one, and Wang Li had already ordered someone to take seeds from home.

"Fifteen hectares...... In a few months, autumn will begin. Wang Li looked at the busy subordinates and pulled out the grain that had already produced seedlings, and felt a little distressed.

……

"It won't be long before autumn begins......"

Longxi, on the school grounds, Fusu looked up at the cloudless sky scorched by the scorching sun with bamboo slips in his hand, and in front of him were more than 5,000 Qin soldiers equipped with a full set of horseshoe, saddles, and horseshoes.

"The Huns are about to take it anymore!" On the side, Meng Tian, who was strong and square-faced, was covered in armor with a smile on his face.

"This horse-pedaling saddle horseshoe is really a good thing, but unfortunately, the Huns can't wait for next year, and after a while, it is estimated that they will go south. If you can wait until next year, the Longxi cavalry can all be loaded with treasures, and the Huns can be decided in a battle. Meng Tian had regret on his face, just now, Meng Tian led five thousand cavalry equipped with horseshoe saddle horseshoes to complete the first equipment test.

The experiment of riding a hundred horses alone has been carried out many times, and there is no doubt that the Noble Phantasm will improve the combat effectiveness of the cavalry.

This large-scale drill is an improvement in the overall performance of the cavalry corps in order to observe the large-scale installation.

At present, the horseshoe saddle and horseshoes are still in continuous production, and the Shaofu, and even the military station of the Lantian camp and the local military craftsman smelting place in Longxi are all urgently produced, but the time is too short to cover the whole army for the time being.

Not only the horseshoe saddle and horseshoes should be produced, but also the new riding bow should be re-produced, because after increasing the stability, the cavalry is more handy, and the stability of archery is greatly improved.

The time of the large-scale southward movement of the Xiongnu is easy to estimate, and it is nothing more than the autumn queen.

It is not advisable to raise troops in winter, the Huns still take the initiative to attack, and daring to take the initiative to raise troops in winter is tantamount to seeking a dead end.

Spring and summer is the season when cattle, sheep and horses are in estrus and mating, and this time is equivalent to the busy season of sowing and farming in the Central Plains.

The only time to be able to deploy and send troops on a large scale is autumn, when the breeding of cattle, sheep and horses is completed, and the Huns can take advantage of this time to seize living space for themselves.

"If the Huns raise troops in the autumn, there should be 30,000 of them immediately." Fusu pondered for a moment and spoke.

"Where's the heavy armor?" Meng Tian asked.

"It is difficult to smelt heavy armor, and it is necessary to smelt the horse treasure, and to re-forge the riding bow, and there are not too many people, and at that time you can play up to three hundred heavy armor." Fusu replied.

"Enough!" Meng Tian had a smile on his face.

"Three hundred heavy armor, thirty thousand horsemen with horses and treasures, the army is pressed, and it is not difficult to cross Yin Mountain." Meng Tian spoke in a deep voice.

"That's good, the Xiongnu are frustrated to the north and east, and now they can only go south, just cross the Yin Mountain, the Xiongnu don't want to exterminate the clan, so they can only surrender to Qin." Fusu had a smile on his face.

In this way, Daqin's strategic plan in the north could be preliminarily completed.

After the Xiongnu were seriously injured, they could only ask for help, and choose one of the three forces from Donghu, Yueshi, Daqin, and surrender.

As for why Fusu said so surely, it is very simple, because the Donghu Yue clan will not let the Huns graze, and Daqin can allow the Huns to graze here, and secondly, what Daqin can give is far more than what Donghu and Yueshi can give.

Salt, iron, pasture, grain, Donghu Yue's own are not enough, the Huns' lost dogs, in the past, Donghu and Yue's dogs could only gnaw bones at most, but Daqin is different, when Daqin is a dog, he can eat meat.

Everything, only this year!

"This horse treasure is really a good thing, if it weren't for the horse treasure, I'm afraid it would have been wasted for many years. I heard that three new grains have been produced in Xianyang, and the yield of corn per mu is more than 900 catties, and the other two grains are above 2,000 catties. Meng Tian said with a smile.

"I have already written to Xianyang, and it won't be long before three new grain seeds will be sent from Xianyang." Fusu smiled.

"Outside the Guan, except for the vicinity of Hetao Yinshan, the grain production is extremely low, if you want the Hu people to follow, in addition to letting them graze, you also have to let them farm." Fusu spoke.

The Hu people don't eat beef and mutton all at once...... In fact, every winter, the Hu people have to starve to death and freeze to death, the Huns and the Central Plains are like birds, the real herds of cattle and sheep are the big nobles, and most of the rest have no long things, and the cattle and sheep are not theirs at all, they are grazing for the lord.

It's just that there are too few grain producing areas here, and the Hu people are not good at farming, so now there are two new grains of sweet potatoes and potatoes, which solve the urgent need.

The Hu people at the bottom are much worse than the people in the Central Plains, facing famine every winter, and this land can't support too many people, which is also the main reason why the Hu people start wars almost every year regardless of whether they win or not.

If the population exceeds the upper limit, it has to compete for living space, win the feast, lose the feast, and eat less people, and if there are fewer people and eat less, you can survive the cold winter.

The same is true of the Xiongnu aristocracy, with herds of cattle, sheep and horses because they can only graze, as the saying goes, the family wealth is thousands, and the hairy ones are not counted, and the natural resistance of the nomads is much worse than that of the farming people.

The big nobles of the Central Plains have surplus food, and it is not a big deal to encounter a one-year famine, and they can even make a fortune by natural disasters.

However, when the Xiongnu nobles encountered bad weather, the water and grass were not abundant enough, and most of their property had to shrink, and if they were unlucky, they encountered the plague...... It was really overnight, and the poverty was like washing.

This is also the main reason why the nomads of later generations persevered and wanted to enter the Central Plains, the ancient methods of dealing with the plague were limited, there was no way, their wealth was too invaluable.

"Sweet potatoes and potatoes are also the top priority, and they are paired with a treasure...... Northland has a lot to offer. Fusu had a confident smile on his face, full of spirit.

Meng Tian agreed with Fusu's remarks, although sweet potatoes and potatoes have many shortcomings, but don't think about any shortcomings as far as Hu Ren's poor and sour appearance is concerned, as long as you can live, the barren land is not enough, and you don't expect sweet potatoes to yield thousands of catties per mu, and it is no problem to produce a few hundred catties enough for people to live.

"By the way, what's the name of the boy who came back from going to sea?" Fusu asked with a smile.

"Zhao Si!" Meng Tian opened his mouth, he was no stranger to Zhao Si's name, his younger brother Meng Yi wrote to him in the family letter mentioned Zhao Si's name many times, and today's strategic props, horse pedals, saddle horseshoes, and cross-era heavy cavalry ideas were all put forward by Zhao Si.

"Not bad!" Fusu nodded, and then looked in the direction of Xianyang.

In a blink of an eye...... I don't know how long I stayed in Longxi, although Fusu was sent to Longxi because he angered the First Emperor, in fact, Fusu held the power of military, government, money, grain, and taxation in the entire Longxi......

……

"What kind of seeds, you have to plant them yourself?" Before the ridge, Wang Li followed Zhao Si to sow seeds, and the dazzling sun made Zhao Si sweat profusely.

"Your consciousness is very low!" Zhao Si kicked Wang Li and said with a smile.

"I'm different from you, I'm born rich, how long have I been a right man? How can you just be promoted to the knighthood, and you can't wait to put on a shelf? ”

Zhao Si sprinkled seeds while blowing nonsense, in fact, Zhao Si was really too lazy to plant, but this matter was too important, and it was very important to Daqin.

Not only does he have to plant, but he also has to come and walk around every day when he has nothing to do, and if he has time, he prefers to stay in the ridges to weed and control insects.

As long as it can induce seed evolution, all the hard work is worth it.

But then again...... I don't know if the First Emperor listened to his own words.

Zhao Si doesn't remember exactly what year the First Emperor died, in short, it should not be more than fifty years old, it is now the thirty-sixth year of the reign of King Qin, and the First Emperor ascended the throne at the age of thirteen, and it is estimated that it will be either this year or next year or the year after next.

It's good if the first emperor can survive, if he really dies, then Zhao Si is afraid that all this will be cheaper for Liu Bang's old boy.

Theoretically speaking, as long as the First Emperor quits Jindan and does not die suddenly, under the influence of the Puyu aura, although he cannot directly let the First Emperor live again, but let the First Emperor's body gradually improve. It's okay to live to the limit of your lifespan.

"Busy with these...... It's better to go hunting, as for it~~" Wang Li rolled his eyes at Zhao Si's ridicule.

"Of course!" Zhao Si nodded seriously.

To be honest, Zhao Si had a very good impression of the First Emperor.

If he had the opportunity, he also wanted to see what would become of Great Qin after the first emperor extended his life for ten or twenty years, or even thirty years later? How much of a splash can you set off as a traverser.

Is it from the death of the second to the death of the first?

Or is it ...... Daqin solves internal obstacles and rejuvenates his vitality?

On the other side of the palace, the First Emperor was replying to the recital.

Obviously, with the production of new grain, Su Feng can no longer sit still.

The First Emperor rubbed his brows slightly tiredly......

Walking from Penglai to Fusang, he also had to write a letter of forgiveness to the crew members who stayed in Fusang as proof.

Daqin now has twenty ships, and it will definitely not work to fight hard, and there will not be many people to bring with him at all, and the new ships will have to be rebuilt.

Just about...... There are gold and silver mines in Fusang, so that the children of the Yin and Yang family can make a good living there, and as for the crew members who followed Xu Fu and stayed in Fusang, they could not be directly pardoned and repatriated.

He was pardoned for his capital crime and stayed in Fusang for five years, just staying there to open a mine.

It is too fake to rashly pardon all the guilt and allow the guilty to make meritorious contributions......

The new ship will continue to be built in Langya and Penglai...... There should still be a lot of ships stranded on Xu Fu's side, and if the damage is not great, Fusang will be in trouble, and Daqin will not have to be in such a hurry to build ships.

The disciples and crew of the Yin-Yang family took more than a dozen ships to explore the far sea, and the remaining ships were used to travel between Daqin and Fusang and even the surrounding islands, and were used to transport gold, silver, minerals, grain, and grass......

"In the coastal area, in addition to Fuso, you also have to explore well." The First Emperor opened his mouth slightly, but in the end he didn't write it, so let's honestly find the gold and silver mines in Fusang first...... There were too few sea ships in Daqin, and more than a dozen were divided to explore the open sea, and the rest of the round-trip transportation to Fusang was not enough.

Large-scale shipbuilding is not a day's work, and it can take several years for a ship to be built from the beginning to the time it enters the water, but in recent years, it is only necessary to find the gold and silver mines of Fuso for mining.

When the construction of the first batch of seagoing ships is completed, it will be the time for Daqin to explore and develop the offshore sea on a large scale.

Right...... Some boats were also set aside to hunt the Jiaoyu......

When Xu Fu went to sea, there were a total of 130 large sea ships, and I don't know how many were left at the moment, Zhao Si brought back 20 ships, and dozens of ships were destroyed at sea, Xu Fu estimated that there were at most about 60 or 70 ships left, provided that Xu Fu did not dismantle these ships and build houses......

Time...... It takes three to five years to build a ship, ten or twenty years to develop the coastal waters, ten years to work in the north, and 20 years to do more than 100 years......

Even the return of the expedition of the far-sea exploration fleet may take years or even ten years.

However, it was he who needed the most time!

The First Emperor didn't even know that he didn't have a chance to see the return of the far-sea exploration fleet.

"...... here," the first emperor calmed down his anxiety and beckoned, wanting to ask if there was any mistake in the arrangement of Zhao Si's coastal area, but found that Zhao Si was not there today......

That's right, I didn't call him by name today to discuss the government left and right.

The First Emperor folded together, looking out of the door, the hot sun slowly slanted westward, and Zhao Gao was quiet as if he was a transparent person, as if there was only one First Emperor left in heaven and earth.

It always feels empty!
