Fantasy Three Kingdoms: Four knots in Taoyuan at the beginning

Chapter 76 074, how dare the barbarians to be rude to my general?
The policy of farming has actually been in place for a long time.

Before the Qin Dynasty, each war did not last long, so there was no need to establish a grain production logistics base.

Qin Shihuang first encountered this problem when he was at war with the Huns.

"The first emperor sent Meng Tian to attack Hu in the north with 44 people. He learned that the river is a fortress, and built [-] county towns, which are close to the river. They are only suitable for garrison." This can be said to be the predecessor of Tuntian.

In the 11th year of the Western Han Dynasty BC, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty used sinners, slaves and recruited farmers to garrison the borderlands, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty dispatched a large number of soldiers to garrison the western regions.

But at that time, farming was mainly concentrated in the western and northern frontiers, and the main method was military settlements, and the scale was small.

It was Cao Cao who carried forward the farming and profited from it. Cao Cao adopted Zaozhi and Han Hao's suggestions and carried out farming near Xudu (now Xuchang, Henan).

The land in Tuntian is unowned and barren land.

The labor force, cattle, and agricultural tools were captured during the suppression of the Yellow Turban Uprising. Some of the labor force was called recruited, but they were actually forced to come, and the fields harvested millions of hu.

"So the prefectures and counties set up land officials, where they accumulated valleys, conquered the four directions, and had no labor to transport grain, so they merged the bandits and conquered the world."

In short, the farmland provided a strong food foundation for Cao Cao to conquer the world. If there was no farmland, how could Cao Cao have the capital to support hundreds of thousands of troops.

Chen Yuan was going to follow Cao Cao's strategy of farming. It happened that Xiangyang was now a county seat, and Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng were almost harmed by the magnates in the county.

As for the population, these sect thieves are the best farm labor force.

However, Chen Yuan didn't intend to be as ruthless as Cao Cao, with 7 officials and 3 civilians, or even 8 officials and 2 civilians. This is simply not a way for people to survive.

Chen Yuan planned to have 5 officials and 5 people, and the government would provide cattle, farm tools, and seeds, and the next year's harvest would be divided in half.

With the sharp weapon of the Baojia Law, and Gu Yong, a first-class political talent, Chen Yuan only needs to make some arrangements.

Gu Yong can naturally handle the rest of the matter properly.

The information and farming affairs were all arranged, so Chen Yuan didn't have much to do, so he thought of other things.

How about inventing something?
There are many canals in the land of Xiangyang, and water trucks are perfect for irrigating the land.

Chen Yuan asked someone to ask, and only then did he know that the waterwheel had already existed.

The inventor was also a eunuch.

Bi Lan, one of the ten permanent attendants.

Chen Yuan was speechless after hearing this.

What happened to the eunuchs in the Eastern Han Dynasty? Why do they all want to be inventors?

There was Cai Lun in the front, and Bi Lan in the back. If you don’t mess with the court, what are you doing as inventors? Isn’t this stealing other people’s business?

Forget it, it would be better to have it.

At present, Chen Yuan ordered Duoduo to build waterwheels, and then set them up in various canals to irrigate the land.

In fact, the waterwheel was invented seven or eight years ago, but it was not used to irrigate the land at first, but to clean the roads.

"It is also used as an overturned thirsty bird, spinning around the west of the bridge, and using it to sprinkle the roads in the southern and northern suburbs, so as to save the people's cost of sprinkler roads."

Did you see it? It's the so-called clean water splashing on the street, which was used to open the way for Emperor Han Ling.

It's unreasonable to have a good farming tool, not use it for agricultural production, but to wash the streets for the emperor.

With the waterwheel, what else can increase grain production?

By the way, rice seeds!

Good guy, Chen Yuan almost forgot about this thing.

Champa Rice!
This is a good thing.

Champa rice has three characteristics.

"Drought tolerance", "born in any place", "only more than [-] days from planting to harvest".

I just don’t know if there is any Champa Rice in this magically altered world.

The so-called Champa is Vietnam, and this era should belong to Jiaozhou.

It doesn't matter if there are any, just send someone over to have a look.

Chen Yuan told Liu Bei about the matter, and when Liu Bei heard that there was such rice, he could still sit there.

If there is such a thing, then the food problem will not be a problem in the future.

Immediately, Zhao Yun was dispatched and flew directly to Jiaozhi to look for rice.

As a second-rank powerhouse, Zhao Yun won't take too long to go to Cochin.

Sure enough, within a few days, Zhao Yun came back.

He still came back with a big pile of rice on his back.

Hearing that Zhao Yun was back, everyone in the Liu Bei Group gathered in the county government office.

Zhao Yun knelt down on one knee and said to Liu Bei, "My lord, luckily Yun did not disgrace his life and came back with the rice seeds."

It's just that Zhao Yun's situation is not very good at this time.

Breath seems to be a little disordered.

Liu Bei quickly helped Zhao Yun up: "Zilong, why are you here?"

Zhao Yun took the rice behind him and said: "My lord does not know that this rice seed is not an ordinary thing, but a sacred object of the local tribe. Yun wanted to take the rice seed, but the people of the tribe refused to allow it, and there was some conflict. The tribe seems to believe in an evil god, and Yun fought with him for hundreds of rounds before getting rid of the evil god's entanglement, but Yun was eager to turn around and suffered some losses."

"Fortunately, Yun did not disgrace his mission, and brought back the rice seeds that the general asked for."

With that said, Zhao Yun gave Liu Bei the rice behind him.

Liu Bei didn't look at the rice, but looked at Zhao Yun with concern: "Is there something wrong with Zilong?"

Zhao Yun shook his head: "Thank you, my lord, for your concern. Yun is not hindered, and he can recover after a few days of cultivation."

Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief: "It's fine if there is no problem."

After finishing speaking, Liu Bei's face was full of anger: "In the remote place of Quer, the barbarians dare to be rude to my general. It's really audacious. They must be destroyed soon."

With that said, Liu Bei was about to go and destroy that tribe.

There are a total of four second-rank generals, and it will not be too easy to destroy that tribe.

Seeing this, Chen Yuan hurried out to stop him: "My lord, wait a minute!"

Liu Bei looked at Chen Yuan angrily: "Zi Chu, are you trying to stop me?"

Chen Yuan nodded: "My lord, don't raise your troops out of anger. That tribe is thousands of miles away from us. Even if the lord dispatches a general to destroy it, the benefits will be taken away by others, because we can't send it out for the time being." It is unwise for the soldiers to go and make wedding dresses for others since they cannot seize their land and take advantage of them.”

After hearing this, Liu Bei was still very angry: "Then how do you deal with it?"

Looking at Liu Bei's angry look, it seems impossible to prevent him from venting his anger.

Liu Bei is a big Hanist, in fact it is not only Liu Bei, the people of the big Han people in this era have this idea, one Han is the five barbarians, if you dare to do anything to the people of my celestial dynasty, you will be damned.

Chen Yuan thought for a while: "Well, let the second brother, Zilong, and Ziyi go, as long as the barbarian tribe is willing to pay compensation, they can forgive them for offending Zilong, and if they don't agree, just kill them. My lord, what do you think?"

Only then did Liu Bei nod his head: "How should the amount of compensation be calculated?"
