When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Chapter 181 Shrink the stronghold, just to fight better
The heads of the Xin family looked at the position that Xin Qu gave up and gathered around the map to discuss.

A Qi stood next to Xin Qu, handed him a glass of water and said, "You kid, you are crazier than I thought. I underestimated you!"

Xinqu took the water, took a sip and said, "If there hadn't been this heavy rain, no one would have supported my plan. But it's different now. Everyone knows that if there is another heavy rain and there is no effective sorting out, the consequences will be What will happen.

Therefore, if I say it now, people will not resist it, but will think it may be feasible.

In the past, Xia Hou controlled the water plains and achieved supreme status.

This is recognized by countless tribes in the north and south.It’s just that sometimes I feel like they’re not authentic. "

"Of course that's not authentic." Ah Qi chuckled after hearing this, "The purpose of water control after Xia is to ensure the stable production of grain in the Central Plains. Then they took people to beat the disobedient tribes and forced them to work in the fields. Work. How many people died of starvation and exhaustion?"

“But their water control still helped the tribes in Hebei, especially the Shang tribe on the Fushui River, giving them the opportunity to follow the river into the south.

We did the same thing this time. After the rivers are built, the construction of subsequent cities will not be so urgent. We only need to renovate and upgrade some strongholds.

Once rolled out, farmland, pastures, fish ponds, and waterways will all be there.

We can take the south and go to the north. No one can stop us.Even the merchants from Dayi were the same. I deliberately built the waterway into a peripheral 'moat' with the Xin family. After setting up the stronghold, I left the middle passage for them.

I would like to ask, should you spend a lot of effort to dig out the soil and bury it in the river, or should you attack these strongholds by force? "

A smile appeared on the corner of Xin Qu's lips, and he looked at his plan. He knew that as long as the plan could be completely implemented, he would not have to worry about his head being selected as a sacrifice when he woke up one day.

If the merchants from Dayi really dare to come, let's see what the consequences will be if a group of their top nobles are all killed on their carefully designed flood and drought defense line.

The country is ruined and the family is destroyed!

"Then our people are done?"

"Don't worry, it's only five years." Xinqu shook his head, "What we need to do now is to consolidate the results at this stage. The fields in the northwest will be intensively cultivated this year.

The southwest direction is given to the Sawa clan, and the southeast direction is to the Yunuma clan.We shrink our stronghold just to fight out better.

As for the forest area, it can be used as an isolation point.

After severe drought and heavy rain, there will inevitably be plague. They must be given space to live and cannot be allowed to run around, otherwise they will be more dangerous.

Then we should stick to the old rules, let them live in the strongholds in the forest area, and then let each tribe control it on their own.We recruit workers, break down their identification with their original tribes bit by bit, and naturalize them.

Now we are the ones who least covet the land in the east, and we are also the ones who have food.

For these tribes, they will face the subsequent crushing of the Ji clan and the Yu clan.

Therefore, the population is just a burden to them. They will help anyone who can provide them with food.

But there are also some who are unwilling to contact the two families, which is the target of our cooperation. We have food, but we cannot rush to give it to them, but let them beg for it.

Of course, if winter had come directly later, the plague would not have broken out now.

But it will be postponed until after spring.

Think about that time, when a big wave of epidemics was compounded by a recession..."

Ah Qi's body trembled when he thought about that scene. How many people would have died?

"Fortunately, we have a big city that can stop these crazy people." Aqi let out a long sigh of relief.

Changping City was too important to the Xin family. Without this city, Aqidu couldn't imagine how many people would swarm him in the future.

For tribes that have lost hope of survival, they don't care which side is the overlord. They will come directly to grab it. As long as they grab a little, it will be considered a profit.

But it's different if there is a city. Who can fight in with such a pestle?
Especially with the Xin family, when the main force goes out to fight, the people left behind are really not in ordinary danger!

Xin Qu chuckled: "Let's check the weather in the next two days. If the temperature is okay, we will plant it in winter."

"Eh? Winter is coming?" A Qi wondered, "What new ones have you brought? Can you plant them in winter? Is this true?"

"Yes, Qing Lai. I have seen the Qing Lai we got, and I also asked the escapees from the Akaishi tribe. They said that sometimes you can see the Qing Lai standing up again after autumn, and they can survive the winter. Then in April and May Can be harvested.

This means that we can plant a batch of them over the winter now without needing to take care of them. The ground has already been cultivated anyway, so we can turn them out and let the sun dry them out to kill the insect eggs.

In the coming spring, whether it is waiting for harvest or directly used as feed for livestock, it will not be a problem. "

Xinqu explained a little: "It has just rained, and the water and soil are moist. It will be sunny for a few days, which is also suitable for planting. Now that the time and place are right, work hard. The hard days have been here for a few years. Once you get over it, the benefits will come." coming.

After all, with a stable logistics city, subsequent expansion will not be a problem. "

After hearing this, A Qi was stunned for a while, looked at Xin Qu carefully and said, "Your method is good, but I always feel that your approach is different from those of us. I didn't see any problems before. It's visible now.

You take the land very seriously!But if you cultivate for a long time, the output will be poor. What should you do? "

"Isn't this simple?" Xin Qu said with a smile, "Burning straw, spreading fertilizer, and rotating crops are all solutions. The land must be nourished." "Nurture?" A Qi murmured, "Let's see the results first. If After three years it started to become barren, let’s talk about other things. Anyway, after the river channel was built, Changping was all irrigated land. The barren land was used for grazing and raising cattle and sheep. After a few years, the land was burned down and replanted. "

"It's okay." Xinqu did not deny this method, because it was a method commonly used by many tribes.

The ancients have accumulated agricultural experience for thousands of years. They knew very well the uses of cattle and sheep dung after raising cattle and sheep, but they didn't know how to transform it.

But Xin Qu was different, he understood.

"Okay, let's talk about what you think."

Xin Qu clapped his hands, and his voice drew everyone back to their senses.

They looked at Xin Qu with expressions more like looking at a monster.

After all, there is really no objection to these methods.

The only one who opposed the big move was blocked by Xin Qu.

That is, this is a five-year goal, and it is not to be completed within one year. Since it is five years, everyone has a chance to breathe. Compared with the hard work of these few months this year, it is simply a drop in the bucket.

The design that Xin Qu deliberately revealed was also based on five times the scale of Xin's city and river construction this time.

Inexplicably, I can solve a year's work in a few months, but I can't solve a stage in a year?
"Just obey your arrangements. We don't understand this either."

Shi Wu shook his head. He could barely understand the pictures, but when they were put together, he was numb. He could only see the signs of mountains, marshes, forests, and rivers. The only one who could really handle big projects was Xin Qu.

Most people also nodded.

Of course, apart from this, Tan said at the right time: "But I have a question, not all land is suitable for reclamation into farmland, so how to calculate it?
After all, tribes also need land for livestock farming. "

Xin Qu raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "What you said does make sense, but why don't you consider increasing your land.

The land will become barren in three years. If the barren land is used for grazing cattle and sheep, then the land that was originally used for grazing cattle and sheep will be burned and cultivated. Wouldn't the problem be solved? "

"But...but isn't the land taxed?" Tan frowned and asked, "The tax rate is not low. If this land is used for grazing, how can we compare the prices? Is it possible to sell the livestock and trade it for millet? Tax……"

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard that Nada himself came up with a solution, so that his voice became quieter and quieter.

"Look, haven't you come up with a solution now? Everyone is growing millet, and the output is more. If your family is rich, don't you want to have a toothpaste? I'll buy it from you when the time comes.

If you are worried that the livestock cannot be sold, it is okay. The tribe can buy it from you at the market price.For example, when a big sacrifice is needed, the clan does not have enough cattle and sheep. If you have cattle, sheep, and pigs to be slaughtered, if you don’t want points or bamboo coins, I can directly give you the equivalent value of millet.

So, don’t always complain about this or that. As long as your thoughts don’t slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties. "

Xin Qu concluded and looked at everyone: "Then if there are no problems, I will formulate and issue everyone's tasks as soon as possible.

The old rule is, if you do a good job, you will get points and coins.After that, I will allocate the construction teams, tribesmen, naturalized people, slaves, whichever team completes the goals I set will only receive normal rewards, but if it exceeds the mission goals of one month, one quarter, half a year, or one year.

I will give the agreement about birth and title.

Whoever contributes more will get more!And for the households with the most outstanding performance, I give the paddy fields near the water. You know better than me how fertile this kind of place is.

Judging from the current map, the paddy fields after all development will only be less than [-] acres at most.

The best will get it! "

Xin Qu's words instantly ignited everyone's excitement, even Tan became excited.

Paddy field!This is a paddy field!
When the clan farmed together, everyone knew exactly how much the paddy fields produced!
If this is intensive farming or grazing, then the output will not reach the sky?

No one can say no!
Xinqu sent them off and told them to do a good job for the tribe, while he looked at the entire map alone.

As long as we can manage this place, we can cooperate with the strongholds we design on the periphery.

At this stage, nomads cannot pose a direct threat to themselves.

After all, they haven't been able to come and go like the wind.

And I, at most, will be able to "come and go like the wind" in the next year or so!

"Hmph! I hope the south can be in chaos for three to five years. The longer it takes, the better it will be for me!"

Xin Qu took a deep breath. Only by remaining firm as a mountain could he suppress everything.

Next, Qifang people!
I don’t know how advanced their shipbuilding technology is.

It can travel across the sea, so it shouldn't be bad.
