But Zao Yuan didn't expect his number to expand to 1.6 million people at once!

Almost the entire Huaibei region and the common people in the Runan region came to him.

He already had more than 800,000 Qingzhou Black Mountain thieves in his hands before, and now he has nearly doubled.

Don't say anything else, if a person eats half a catty, he can eat half a catty a day.

1.6 million people, the daily consumption of grain is 240 catties.

How much grain is there in Zao Yuan's hands. Most of them are military rations!

If he gave it all to these people, when Cao Cao asked him for military rations, he would go and give Cao Cao something!

You can't give mulberries again.

"It's a head-killing thing." Guo Ming understood it.

"I beg you for the people of you and Huai."

"There's got to be some way you can help them get through this, and help me get through this."

If you don't give food, you starve to death, and you can't bear it.

gave food, messed up Cao Cao's plan, and Zao Yuan couldn't bear it.

"The people are innocent, they just want to eat a bite of food. Without food, it is difficult to calm the world, and if the world is uneven, there will be no food to eat. ”

"What did Ming Gong say?" Guo Ming asked suddenly.

"Ming Gong said, it's good for the general to cut himself off, don't ask me." Zao Yuan said.

Guo Ming almost slapped him in the face.

Isn't Cao Cao clearly cheating an honest man?

This is to prevent people from starving to death, and not to delay things.

"General Zao Yuan, I want to ask you, if you feed these people to them, how will they be counted as military households?"

"What do you mean?" Of course, Zao Yuan didn't understand.

Guo Ming meant that all of these people who were physically fit and able to fight were selected and sent to Cao Cao's military camp.

Since then, these people have become military households.

Cao Cao first had to keep his military household, otherwise the rebellion at the front would be a big deal.

Then there is more room for development in military households.

The biggest difference between military and civilian households is that they can use iron tools.

In this era, iron farm tools were really only available to military households, such as iron plowshares and the like.

Guo Ming used to exchange a large number of iron tools from the system, such as shovels or pickaxes.

Sell these things, and he can also get a lot of points.

"With these things, at least everyone can work hard to plant, and if there is any wind and grass, these things can also be used as weapons."

Zao Yuan didn't understand for a while.

"It's all these things, but there's no food."

"The prime minister didn't ask you to adjust food, in fact, he gave you a room for relaxation. You, just tell the prime minister that Qi Yue said that he wanted to expand the scope of Tuntian, from the south of Chenliu directly to the entire land of Ru and Huai. ”

In this way, these people are equal to where they came from and where they are going.

But the household registration of these people already belongs to Cao Cao.

The place where they are is naturally also Cao Cao's place.

And Yuan Shu, the original owner of these places, has now retreated to Shouchun, relying only on a lonely city to defend himself.

These places are now all borderless lands, and it is logical for Cao Cao, as the prime minister of the imperial court, to take them back on his behalf.

But Cao Cao's territory is equivalent to expanding to Liu Biao's doorstep.

"Tell these military households that they will support each other in the village, and the whole village will be punished for losing food. A village lost food, and the whole pavilion was punished to connect them all into a line. ”

Zao Yuan nodded when she heard this, but she also had doubts.

"What if Liu Biao robs the grain?"

"The shovels and hammers in their hands are all dry rice? When the food was taken away, they were put to death. But first they have to tell them that no one has been given food except for people they know in the past. Whoever dares to grab food will be killed on the spot! ”

This time, Zao Yuan really understood.

He had already figured out an account himself.

According to Hou Ye, in this way, it can produce millions of grains a year.

At that time, Huaiyang, Runan, a land with abundant water and grass, will become a granary of the national treasury.

Far from being victims, these people are the pillars of the country.

"If Liu Biao comes to grab grain, he will lose the support of the people, and those who lose the hearts of the people will not be able to seize their land."

"The rest of the bandits are not to be feared. One person dares to die, a hundred people are afraid, the whole village is desperate, and one army is invincible! Thieves can also be assessed here. ”

Zao Yuan excitedly stood up and walked around three times, and hurriedly bowed his hand to Guo Ming.

Guo Ming nodded, asking him not to get excited for the time being.

Because he also has another gift for Zaoyuan.

He closed his eyes and returned to the system, making a request to Xiao Ai.

"Master, do you mean to ask for modern rice seeds?"

"Yes, didn't I still have a chance to create? In this way, the opportunity of this creation will be used to create a modern wheat seed. I remember that the yield of modern wheat per mu is about 500 catties, and it is almost enough to eat when it is popularized. ”

Xiao Ai turned his head sideways to look at Guo Ming.

"Master, Xiao Ai thinks you seem to be unhappy this time?"

"It's not that I'm unhappy, it's that I'm a little flustered." Guo Ming sighed.

"But wouldn't that be a better place to grow rice? Why grow wheat? Xiao Ai asked.

"That place was originally half of the front line, if you planted rice, it would be snatched away by Liu Biao, Liu Biao's people are not used to eating wheat, but they are more accustomed to eating rice, I also know what you mean, hybrid rice has a higher yield per mu, but it is also more in line with the other party's taste."

Xiao Ai agreed.

Guo Ming can be regarded as giving this last chance to create a creature to Zao Yuan.

"The production capacity of this kind of seed per mu reaches 500 catties?" Jujube is like a treasure.

"Normally, it should be about four hundred and thirty catties to five hundred and fifty catties, I don't know how many hundreds, but in short, it's a big number."

"In short, how much you should collect, how much you should plant, you can do it yourself, and the method will tell you, how to report to Ming Gong, you can do it."

Zao Yuan was so excited that he knelt down for Guo Ming with a bang.

"General Zao can't do it, not so much." Guo Ming hurriedly picked up the jujube jacket.

"No, I'm saving the lives of millions of people, Mr. Xie Guo. When I go back, I will tell them that every family must set up an immortal tablet for Mr. Guo! Burn incense every day and pray every night, hoping that you will live a long life. ”

Guo Ming smiled, this matter is considered in the past.

He gave all the high-yield wheat to Zaoyuan, and told him that if it was not enough, he would send a letter at any time, and he still had it here.

Zao Yuan can be said to be grateful this time.

He finally got it, but it was a big problem.

When he reported to Cao Cao, he told Cao Cao about the next military system and the distribution of iron weapons, which eliminated his worries.

The crops planted are wheat that Liu Biao's subordinates are not accustomed to eating but Cao Cao's subordinates are accustomed to eating.
