Three Kingdoms: Everything Can Be Gamified

Chapter 283 Don’t stand without warning
There are very few old people in Taihang Mountains, and they are basically young men and women. It is rare that there are quite a few children.

In the Taihang Mountain environment, the child mortality rate is at least doubled.

Among the population of 42, there are only a thousand elderly people, about [-] children, and the rest are young men and women.

Among men and women, the majority are men, with a male-to-female ratio of almost two to one.

A large number of singles came to Bingzhou and Sizhou to go on blind dates arranged by the government.

The targets are widows who are willing to remarry, and some young girls of marriageable age.

Blind dates are voluntary, and the woman has priority. If two or more women choose one man, the man has the right to make his own choice.

In theory, this blind date only supports monogamy.

To achieve this step, Zhang He can be regarded as the most benevolent widow who is unwilling to remarry, and he did not force anything.

The army under Zhang Yan was reorganized, leaving behind soldiers whose performance was just okay. If you want to say that they have no bad habits at all, you'd be lying!

After the selection, Liu Bei had [-] more soldiers under his command.

It is up to him to decide how to mobilize, and Zhang He will not interfere anyway.

After waiting for five days, Changan finally gave the final approval:
The Taihang Mountains were placed under the jurisdiction of Bingzhou, and three counties were established. The county magistrate was appointed by Zhang He.

Zhang Yan was appointed as the general of Zhonglang in Guiyi and was transferred to the command of Taishi Ci.

The various ministries were dispersed to Liangzhou, Hanzhong, Nanyang, Yingchuan and Yanzhou.

One part was under the command of Zhang Fei and the other part was under the command of Guan Yu. The two armies had three thousand each.

In the past, all the bandits in the Taihang Mountains were given official status. They were basically military attaches, and they could only be military attaches.

Letting them govern is irresponsible for people's lives and property.

"I may have a hard time this year..." Zhang He sighed, "But at least you don't have to worry, others will take the opportunity to call you."

Tens of thousands of soldiers had been lost previously, and as the territory expanded to Puyang, East County, the defense line was further stretched. It was difficult to say whether the enemy would attack.

Now that there are [-] new soldiers, plus the additional ones, Liu Bei has more than [-] soldiers. Plus the local county soldiers and county soldiers, he is basically not afraid of being attacked by others.

It is basically impossible for the money, food and supplies of the Montenegrin Army, excluding weapons and equipment, to be returned to the public.

They surrendered, but the money, food and supplies were personal items, and they didn't say they had to be handed over.

Fortunately, those people basically have a surplus of food, otherwise no amount of food would be enough for 42 people.

Probably Zhang Yan was also worried about pushing Zhang He into a hurry, so she didn't go too far.

"We are not very nervous about food, and we can harvest a batch in more than a month, but this year we may have to reduce production." Xun You reported.

There is a slight drought this year. Even if the water conservancy project is fully launched and a large amount of investment is made, production will inevitably be reduced.

However, the wheat varieties improved by Zhang He are high-yielding varieties, and even if the yield is reduced, it will only be average.

"It would be better to say that our high-yield crops and early-maturing chickens and ducks are not popular across the country. I really don't know why this is the case." Zhang He joked.

"It concerns the interests of local wealthy families, and it's hard for my subordinates to comment so much." Xun You was a little embarrassed.

They are not introduced in various places. On the one hand, these high-yielding crops consume the soil very much and must be supplemented by manure and plant ash.

Many technologies are complementary, but they only divert high-yielding crops, instead destroying your own land.

On the one hand, it is also to facilitate the control of food prices. In today's world, trade routes are blocked, and food relies heavily on local production.

Who would want to go into business if they could make money by manipulating food prices?
Especially now that the business environment is unstable, it is easy to lose everything.

Again, if conditions didn't allow it, they would probably be willing to regress to the era of slash-and-burn farming.

The princes from all walks of life are not fools, and naturally they will not allow such a thing to happen.

Without promotion, it would still be a waste of time.

There are already rumors that Zhang He deliberately created this thing to destroy the cultivated land of the Han Dynasty. This is just a joke!
If they come to Liangzhou, Sizhou and Bingzhou in person, they will know that even if high-yielding crops are grown every year, the soil fertility has not declined.

Backed by the Yellow River Basin, the river bed appears in the dry season, and the sediment is reduced. The fertile river mud is the best material for fertile fields.

That is to say, the Yellow River is yellow after all. Some people already call it "Zhuo River" and "Yellow River".

If the water and soil are not protected, in a few hundred years it will almost be named the Yellow River.

"Speaking of which, the Huns are basically farming now, right? Are they still nomadic?" Zhang He suddenly thought of this question.

After all, the Yellow River first flowed through the territory of the Xiongnu before flowing to Bingzhou.

Excluding some Gobi in Shuofang, there may not be much desert. The problem is that the Southern Huns are indeed on the Loess Plateau.

"Basically no longer nomadic. After all, there are very fertile plains over there in Meiji." Xun You thought for a while, "It's just that others know very little about the situation there. Maybe the businessmen know something, so I have to find someone to ask."

Indeed, in Zhang He's view, the Southern Xiongnu's occupation of the Hetao Plain was a waste.

Their farming techniques are poor, and what they worry most about is wasting land resources. They also frantically expand farmland, leading to soil erosion.

Although Zhang He comes from the future of great national integration, the debts of the Hu people to the Han people in this era have to be calculated separately.

It cannot be said that after the national integration, we can directly define the Xiongnu's sins as civil war, and then say that Huo Qubing fought in civil war and was not a national hero...

Anyone who can put forward such a point of view must be mentally ill.

After all, according to this logic, if there is fusion by us a few years later, will the previous invasion be considered a civil war?
Blood is blood, three views are three views, and the national stance is the national stance.

No matter how pure the bloodline is, if there are problems with the three views and national stance, it will be useless. Just look at the virtues of those banana people.Zhang He has long passed the impulsive age of imperial men, and bloodline has long been no longer so important.

Therefore, he supports the Sinicization of the Hu people. As long as they regard themselves as Han people, restrain themselves by Han people's etiquette and rules, and safeguard the interests of the Han people, they are Han people.

From a higher level, I am a Chinese believer. Besides, China is known for its tolerance, regardless of whether it is active or passive.

I've been talking nonsense for a long time, let's not talk about those messy things.

Let’s just talk about the Southern Huns’ plundering of Bingzhou in recent years. Let alone other ethnic groups, even if such armed separatism and rebellion occur locally, it is normal for the local government to suppress it.

There is no talk of national justice or international issues. The Southern Huns plundered and merged the states.

As a Bingzhou shepherd, Zhang He decided to abolish the 'Southern Xiongnu Autonomous Region' and deal with the perpetrators in accordance with the law. Who dares to have an opinion?
While Zhang He was looking at the map and thinking wildly, a businessman who knew the situation there also came over.

"Replying to the envoy, the Southern Huns are indeed mainly engaged in farming, but they also herd. They also herd a large number of cattle, sheep and horses. Every year, a large number of livestock are transported from there for sale." The merchant told what he knew. .

"Free-range, not captive?" Zhang He quickly noticed this.

"Yes, I'm probably used to it, so I just keep it in a free-range state." The merchant wiped the sweat from his head.

It was an honor for him to be in contact with officials of this level, and it also made him tremble.

Yes, it is really nomadic, which directly leads to serious soil erosion...

I don’t know what the original historical situation was like, but then the Yellow River became so turbid. It’s hard to say that it had nothing to do with it.

"Can you get through Qiu?" Zhang He asked.

"Your Majesty, please stay calm this year..." Xun You sighed, "Besides, why did our topic change to this?"

"Isn't this obvious? There is very little cultivated land in Bingzhou!" Zhang He complained, "But the high-quality cultivated land is not all in that area."

Having said that, the current situation in Bingzhou is obviously not focused on farming.

A large number of coal industries have begun to spread across the country, and have gradually developed from agriculture to industry and commerce.

Maybe within three to five years, or even ten to eight years, Bingzhou's development will be completely biased towards the industrial and commercial industries.

There is a shortage of food here, so it is transported from other states, and then the industrial and commercial products here are transported to other places for sale.

After all, under the auspices of Zhang He, the trade routes have gradually matured.

"That's not possible. The transportation is still very underdeveloped these days." Zhang He retorted, "Now the population of Bingzhou is small. In the future, the population will be more. There will not be enough food to eat. The food transported over there will be lost on the road. It will be the same if the quantity is too much. It’s a waste, and in the end, the price of food is too high and it’s hard to afford it.”

Since the Hetao Plain and the Yunzhong Wuyuan side have a dense river network and most of the plains are suitable for farming, it is natural to take them back.

Taking a step back, Taishi Ci was the one leading the way to the east, so what else could he do besides heading north?

You can't wait until Taishi Ci can't hold on any longer, go over to support him and get some minor military exploits?
Not to mention that if he wants to fight over here, the supplies will be paid for by Bingzhou.

Other supplies are okay, armor and weapons are enough.

But this food, in the event of a large-scale war, may affect the cost of local people.

If we don’t take this issue into consideration now, we will have headaches if it arises later, or we will be forced to transport food from other places. This will not only waste time, but also waste food.

Especially last year Guan Yu and Zhang Fei fought a battle, Tai Shici was the only one who didn't fight.

Would he not want to go to war and earn some military exploits?
With the current situation, war will start in one or two years at most. If we don't prepare now, how long will it take?

"This is the truth..." Xun You thought for a moment and then reacted, "Shijun, do you mean Lian Yunzhong?"

To say that the Southern Xiongnu is still attached, Yunzhong Land is now Bu Dugen's territory. Fighting there would be equivalent to starting a war with Xianbei.

"That's Bingzhou's territory, I'm just taking them back." Zhang He replied.

This is correct. It was originally under the rule of Bingzhou, but the people who occupied it had a somewhat special status.

"Shouldn't we calm down the world first, and then make plans?" Zhang asked, mainly because he couldn't sit still.

"How many schools are there in Xianbei?" Zhang He asked back, "How many weapons and armor are there? How many cavalry and crossbows are there? If I don't attack them across the grassland, just cut off their way south and into the clouds. Besides, even if we don't attack them, we can , they won’t fight? Even if His Majesty is considered, he will still die in the hands of Bu Dugen. Is it wrong to avenge His Majesty? "

Is there anything wrong?It seems right!
But to be sure, there seems to be some problems...

"That decision should be made by King Liang." Xun You reminded.

"Nonsense, if we really report it, we won't be able to fight." Zhang He complained, "Fight first and then talk about it. At worst, I will take over Northern Xinjiang from now on!"

If that doesn't work, take [-] cavalry into the grassland and look for the lone tribes to deal with. It depends on how many tribes there are in Xianbei.

Although the grassland is large, the ethnic groups on it basically live in pursuit of water and grass. If you know the direction of the river, you can basically find the location of the tribe.

"It's too early to talk about this now!" Cui Jun felt that the topic was getting further and further away. "Although it is impossible to predict or stand up, it is too early for you to predict."

"Guangping, you're wrong!" Zhang He snapped back, "In this year's situation, except for the continuous improvement of this plan, what else can we do? You think I don't know that Xianbei is not easy to fight, this is not a thorough plan How about some?"

There is no need to worry about food and grass, nor armor and weapons. We already have soldiers. If we put 2 people in Bingzhou and don't think about how to fight them out, how can we let them continue to waste food?

In the end, I don't know who among them was the second-in-command and passed the news to Liu Bei.

"Fight him, I'm sure!" Liu Bei replied like this. It should be said that he was worthy of Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty.

"I knew that big brother would support me... No, when did big brother become emperor?!" Zhang He suddenly realized something.

　This chapter was relatively weak, and I was not satisfied with it after writing [-] words, so I increased it to [-] words, which can be regarded as compensation for only having two chapters yesterday.
