I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 47, Route

Niu Gui smiled and said: "It's not that we don't cultivate land, I just think it's a pity that these pastures are left unused here. Raising some cattle and sheep is meat after all! It can reduce our food consumption.

And we have tens of thousands of horses and 1.2 cows in our hands. Don’t we need people to raise them? Since they are all raised, we should raise more and use these pastures. "

At the beginning, Xu Wei bought a large number of cattle and horses in order to increase the speed of marching. With more than 2 ox carts and horse-drawn carts, plus hundreds of thousands of wheelbarrows, Xu Wei was able to walk to Yanmen Pass with 200 million shi of grain.

Xu Wei said: "It's okay. There are many old people who come with us. They can do some light physical work of grazing. I will send a few Karasuma coaches to teach everyone grazing. Not only can we solve our food, the most important thing is to improve a lot of food. When we want to open up wasteland, these cattle may play a big role!"

The last time Xu Wei captured thousands of Gongsun Zan's cavalry, hundreds of them were from Karasuma. They were all recruited by Gongsun Zan. After capturing them, Xu Wei learned the modern captive system and did not abuse them.

But Xu Wei didn't think about it, Xu Wei just gave these Karasuma people the same treatment as the Han army captives, without any distinction, which actually made them feel grateful.

Later, Xu Wei investigated and found out that the Han Dynasty did not regard these Hu people as human beings at all. They recruited Hu people as soldiers, but they didn’t even send food. .

So Xu Wei treated them equally and treated them for their injuries. Instead, these Karasuma soldiers were grateful, and dozens of lonely Karasuma people simply took refuge in Xu Wei.

And it happened that Xu Wei captured 1500 horses from Gongsun Zhan, and he could form a cavalry team, so Xu Wei appointed these Karasuma people as cavalry instructors, and wanted to train a strange army. After all, on the grasslands of northern Xinjiang, there are no cavalry. Can be slaughtered.

At the same time, Xu Wei asked Wang Lei and all of them to learn riding skills, including himself.

He couldn't remember which novel of the Three Kingdoms he wrote, saying that Liu Bei's riding skills should be very superb, because he was defeated repeatedly in his life, but he was able to escape from defeat. Even an enemy like Guan Yu was caught by Cao Cao experience, but Liu Bei did not, which shows that Liu Bei's superb riding skills.

Xu Wei knew that the world was about to enter a chaotic world. Who knew that he would be defeated that day. With superb riding skills, the chances of escaping would increase by a few percent!

Wang Lei said with a smile: "Niu Gui is right. Raising some cattle and sheep can also reduce food consumption. Now it's July, where is the time to grow food, and we are not short of food, 200 million shi of food is enough for us It's been two years.

Now that we have money, we are not afraid that we will not be able to sell food. If we want to eat better, we can go to the Huns to buy cattle and sheep. If we don’t have enough food, we can go to Taiyuan to buy food.

We can make carriages, wheelbarrows and other iron tools as we did in the valley. These are what the Huns and us Han people need. We exchange these goods with them for cattle, sheep and grain, which must be more than the grain we can get from farming. , so that the manpower saved cannot build Mayi. "

"Besides, we, as the heroes of the forest who stand for the heavens, shouldn't eat meat and drink heavily, so that we can enjoy ourselves."

Xu Wei was blamed for this blame. At the beginning, he often told some martial arts stories when he was in the valley. The hero of Liangshan changed his background and became a hero of the green forest.

And the actions of these heroes are obviously very suitable for the thoughts of young people like Wang Lei.

"A prodigal son, you know how to sit and eat, and you don't know how high the sky is after only a few full meals. Although we have a lot of money and food, we can't last long for 20 people. You still want to eat meat and drink. Why don't you go to the sky so quickly? I forgot the days when I was starving! Besides, at this time of year, there is a shortage of food everywhere, and if you want to exchange it, it doesn’t matter whether he is willing or not!” Old man Wang chased and beat Wang Lei angrily, and he caught Wang Lei’s words The point is that I want to eat meat and drink a lot!
Xu Wei was in a bit of a dilemma. After such a discussion, several routes came up. Some wanted to farm, some wanted to herd, and some wanted to take the trade route.

It seems that Xu Wei is not a stubborn person, and the old man Wang also reminded Xu Wei that troubled times are coming, and food is the most important thing in this world.

So he said: "I shouldn't think about reaching the sky in one step. Everyone is still the same, divided into several production teams to build our new homeland! But it can't exceed 5 people, and the remaining 15 people will be used to open up wasteland. Before entering winter, we have to reclaim 100 million acres of land!"

Old Man Wang and Old Man Niu nodded in satisfaction when they heard Xu Wei's words. From their point of view, the production team in Shanggu was very good, especially when Xu Wei arranged most of the people on land reclamation. Satisfied.

Xu Wei continued: "We need to make a plan now!"

"First of all, we need to build a lumber mill. Whether it is building a house or burning charcoal, we need wood. This is indispensable. Secondly, we need to build a coal mine. No matter whether it is ironmaking or burning bricks, we must find clay mines. It is used to make bricks, find iron ore, and use it to smelt iron to make various tools! Limestone mines are used to build city walls, and finding these minerals is up to Uncle Wang.”

These are all buildings without which other technological speeds cannot be developed.

Old man Wang said with a smile: "Captain, don't worry, most of these are in Mayi itself, especially the coal mines. It is said that Mayi can just find a hill and dig down to a depth of one foot to dig coal mines!"

Xu Wei continued, "Old man, I will leave the transportation of all kinds of minerals to you, old man."

Old man Wang said: "This is on the old man!"

Then Xu Wei said to the old man Niu: "After the bricks are successfully manufactured, the old man and I will build a new type of small blast furnace together. This kind of blast furnace can make tens of thousands of catties of iron once it comes out. Whether it is mining or land reclamation, there is a need for enough farm tools, and it all depends on you, old man Niu."

The old man Niu patted his chest and promised: "The old man will definitely go all out to let everyone have a set of farm tools!"

"Niu Gui, our foreign trade will be entrusted to you in the future. You can find a way to transport more cattle and horses to the Xiongnu. Whether it is transportation or land reclamation, these large animals are indispensable!"

Niu Gui smiled and said, "These bags are on me!"

Bingzhou may be good at this point. There are coal mines everywhere, and you can dig out coal mines just by digging on any mountain.

There is obviously no more suitable place than Bingzhou to build an industrial center in this era.
