Riding and chopping: Overlord of the Han and Hungarians

Chapter 170 169, thriving

"Uncle, Your Majesty is so generous, why do they still want to become bandits?"

In Suyi, 14-year-old Huo Qubing raised his head on the blood-stained ground and asked Wei Qing about his doubts.

Commanding the new soldiers to detain the prisoners, Wei Qing said without turning his head, "If you don't have enough to eat, you will fall into grass, and if you don't wear warm clothes, you will become a bandit."

The new recruits have been trained for more than a year. These good families around Chang'an are generally good. Coupled with their age, these people are all ambitious, and they are a little better than the veterans of the Han Dynasty.

Since the military training, Wei Qing has led these more than ten thousand people to trek frequently around Chang'an, and now they have reached Suyi, and they will reach Shuofang County further north.

"However, His Majesty's decree is good. Whether it is the first emperor or His Majesty, they are all targeting the rich and powerful, but why are these people still not full?"

Wei Qing turned his head and glanced at Huo Qubing who had just reached his chest: "Qubinger, you are still a little younger. When you grow up, you will naturally know."

For hundreds of years in the Han Dynasty, the figures of the refugees have also run through the hundreds of years. Whether it is the beginning of Liu Bang's founding of the Han Dynasty or the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, you can find their shadows throughout the history books.

In other words, throughout the history of China, the figures of refugees have never disappeared.

Wei Qing didn't know what would happen in the future, but he often lived next to Liu Che, and he could clearly see and hear the behavior of the two emperors Wen Jing and Liu Che over the years, which all showed that they were suppressing the military meritorious lord.

Contradictory to say, the Han Dynasty relied on military merits to establish the dynasty, but whether it was Liu Bang, Empress Lu or Emperor Wen Jing, they were constantly weakening the land rewards of military merits.

Those who can ascend to the throne are not stupid. They have always known the land annexation problem brought about by the disadvantages of the military meritorious title, but there is nothing they can do about it.

Fortunately, there is still a Xiongnu at the front, and there is no great danger erupting in the Han Dynasty, but one day, these repressed refugees will rise up and change the world, and even then they will still live. life today.

"Oh." Huo Qubing scratched his head in confusion, and stopped asking.

The entire army, as the supervisor of the Habayashi Army, he trained these new soldiers according to the specifications of the Habayashi Army. More than ten thousand new soldiers cleaned up the battlefield. For the refugees, they have no ability to resist these people .

"Back to Suyi to garrison!"

"promise!"
-
Wuhuan.

In the grassland more than a hundred miles away from Wuhuan, near the water.

A one-story building occupying a very large area is located here.

The building is paved with a clean and flat concrete floor, and countless pigsties that look like replicas are scattered all over the place.

Now most of these pigpens are empty, and only a few hundred piglets are kept in them.

These pigs were neither the white pigs in Zhang Qi's impression, nor the black pigs in the Han grassland.

The pig's fur is gray, and it is eating continuously beside the feeding trough. The pig's food is as thick as porridge water, and the only recognizable things in it are sorghum stalks, pumpkins and melon vines.

The ground of the entire pig farm has been paved with lime, and sporadic white spots can still be seen even now.

Zhang Qi walked in the aisle between pigsty and pigsty, followed by dozens of people.

"Your Majesty, the pig farm has carried out daily disinfecting tasks strictly according to your requirements. These piglets are also growing very fast. According to current observations, they can be slaughtered within two years."

The manager of the pig farm was one of the thousand people brought out by Zhang Qi last time, and the rest of the staff were recruited from Wuhuan City.

While watching, Zhang Qi nodded. If it wasn't for the lack of modern equipment in the pigsty, Zhang Qi would have thought he was visiting a pig farm in a modern town.

It can be seen that the manager is very attentive.

"You did a good job. Raise these piglets first. When your subordinates have enough experience, you can teach them to people in Wuhuan and Xianbei. If you want to expand the scale, you still have to rely on the strength of the people."

Patting the shoulder of the manager of the pig farm, Zhang Qi quickly walked a few steps away from here. Although there are not many piglets, there are only a thousand or so, but the taste will not be reduced much because of the number.

The smell of feces and urine is strong. Although the sanitation is done quickly, there are still some residues.

Regarding the treatment of feces, the scarcity of fertilizers in this era has led Zhang Qi to attach great importance to these pickles. Except that cow dung can also be used as heating materials for the people in winter, other feces are collected by special people and transported to Fermentation in sparsely populated composting ponds.

Today's Xianbei, in addition to planting beans to increase the nitrogen fertilizer of the land last year, is now also using fermented black water for dilution and splashing.

Now the nearly 40 mu of fields around Xianbei are now lush and lush, and with the careful care of the farmers, this year's harvest is guaranteed.

The 40 mu of land is already the limit that Xianbei can cultivate. Xianbei is not like Wuhuan. Now there are only about 7 people in Xianbei. Excluding harvesting, smelting and other labor, the number of people who can be in charge of the fields is only more than 4. On average, 40 mu of land requires each person to be responsible for about ten mu.

Coupled with the fact that the area of ​​40 mu is not small, Xianbei has already begun to implement the village system, and it is developing in the mode of militia and military settlements.

Except for the more than [-] people in the royal court, the rest are distributed around the fields.

The army station is a good thing, it can supplement the armed forces, and it can also make a large number of herdsmen get used to farming life.

But still because of manpower, Xianbei's wasteland reclamation movement has now stopped.

Fortunately, this situation will not last for too long. When Wuhuan City is completed, Zhang Qi will migrate a large number of Wuhuan people to Xianbei. At that time, the fields can continue to expand.

Except pigs.

The breeding of chickens, ducks and geese is also in progress. Meat, eggs, milk, meat, eggs, milk, meat can be produced by pigs, cattle and sheep, and milk can also be produced by pigs, cattle and sheep, but eggs, they really can't do anything.

Moreover, with the expansion of the army, the consumption of arrows will naturally increase. If we only go to the birds in the Greater Khingan Mountains, it will not be long before there are only a bunch of bare birds left in the Greater Khingan Mountains.

Arrow feathers are an important part of the arrow shaft. Although hardened leather can also be used instead, the best ones are still bird feathers.

Production has always been chain-linked. Since poultry is to be raised, the source of food for poultry must also be raised.

The earth dragon, that is, the earthworm, appeared in Zhang Qi's sight.

It is very good to use earthworms to make meat paste and mix dry grass for poultry farming, not to mention that the by-products brought by earthworm farming can also have the effect of fertilizing the field.

Zhang Qi had no reason not to breed them.

Even the things needed to breed them are not lacking on the grasslands.

All kinds of feces are their best breeding grounds.
