The Necromancer of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 40
Yuan Xu didn't unpack the bag immediately, but lay down on the couch.

Summoning the undead across the ages consumes too much energy.

The night before, he summoned the undead, and before he could tell them to get the items, he was smashed by Zhen Mi, and he didn't consume too much energy.

He just summoned the undead and got what he needed, and he felt that he didn't even have half the energy in his body.

After lying down for a while, Yuan Xu felt his strength recover, and Yuan Xu sat up.

He greeted the guard outside the door: "Come here."

A guard walks in.

"Go invite Tian Yuanhao, and then tell Deng Zhan to get ready and accompany me out of the city later." Yuan Xu ordered.

Not long after, Tian Feng arrived.

After entering the study, he asked Yuan Xu: "My lord is looking for me?"

"Look at those burdens." Yuan Xu ordered.

Tian Feng picked up a bundle and took out a handful of things from it.

Holding in his hand is a handful of rice seeds.

He looked at Yuan Xu suspiciously: "My lord, this is..."

"Hybrid rice." Yuan Xu said: "Grow it in the fields, and the yield per mu should be at least a thousand catties."

Tian Feng was stunned. He had never heard of any crops that could yield a thousand catties per mu.

"Accompany me out of the city to have a look." Yuan Xu stood up and greeted Tian Feng without explaining.

After consuming too much energy, he just stood up when his eyes went dark, he staggered, and almost fell down.

Tian Feng hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and asked with concern: "What's wrong, young master?"

"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired." Yuan Xu waved his hand, indicating that it's okay.

Leading Tian Feng, he walked out of the study.

Deng Zhan was already waiting outside the study.See him come out, go up to salute.

"You two accompany me to go out of the city and see the fields in Taiyuan." Yuan Xu ordered.

Tian Feng and Deng Zhan should go down.

The three left the mansion with more than a dozen guards.

As he rode his horse towards the city gate, Yuan Xu asked Tian Feng, "Has the high-ranking officer gone?"

"Leaving before dawn." Tian Feng replied: "He sent someone to inform me and asked me to pass the news on his behalf."

"You didn't tell me." Yuan Xu said: "If you say that again, I should go out of the city to give it away."

"After Taiyuan was cut off, the high-ranking cadres are not happy, why would you want the young master to send you off?" Tian Feng replied: "You don't have to worry about it, the young master can govern Taiyuan better than before, just let him see what he can do."

"Stronger than before?" Yuan Xu shook his head: "What I want is not so simple."

He asked Tian Feng again: "Have you drawn up the documents you are required to make?"

"It's done." Tian Feng took out the document from his arms and handed it to him with both hands.

After receiving the document, Yuan Xu watched while riding forward.

"Encourage childbearing, land reclamation, and animal husbandry." Yuan Xu nodded, "These are the only things that need to be stepped up at present. As for picking mulberry and growing hemp, there is no need to encourage it."

Tian Feng was stunned: "It's nothing to do with sangma. From the prince to the common people, they have no clothes to wear?"

"I remember I mentioned cotton to you." Yuan Xu replied: "From now on, the Taiyuan area will no longer grow hemp, but instead grow cotton. No clothes to wear? How is it possible? Is it possible that I will run naked with all the people?"

Yuan Xu made a lot of rice seeds early in the morning, saying that they were hybrid rice that could yield a thousand catties per mu, Tian Feng was suspicious.

He also proposed not to grow hemp, but to grow cotton that he had never seen before...

Tian Feng felt even more uncertain.

"Why?" Seeing that he was suspicious, Yuan Xu asked with a smile: "You don't believe what I said can come true?"

"No." Tian Feng replied: "I just think it's too risky for you to change the crops so drastically?"

"Adventure?" Yuan Xu replied: "When marching and fighting, we risk our lives every time, but in troubled times, can we stop? There is no opportunity without adventure, the food production is too low, and the population of the people is too small. There is a big war, where do you recruit soldiers and horses? Do you want me to drive the undead everywhere?"

"I would like to follow the young master in everything, but I am afraid that the people will worry..." Tian Feng replied: "Many people will resist things that have never been seen before."

"It's simple." Yuan Xu said: "Whoever is willing to grow hybrid rice and cotton will be rewarded with a cattle and a donkey for each household. As for other people, when they are willing to make changes, they will go to the government to receive cattle and donkeys."

He asked Tian Feng again: "Have you counted the congratulatory gifts for my marriage with Zhen Ji?"

"The inventory is out." Tian Feng replied: "You can buy a hundred cattle."

"Hundred heads?" Yuan Xu frowned: "There are only so many..."

"It's quite a lot." Tian Feng replied, "It's not easy to have one farm ox among a hundred households after years of war..."

"Then buy farm cattle and donkeys first." Yuan Xu said, "Find someone to raise them and have more calves and donkeys."

"Cows and donkeys can only have one litter a year." Tian Feng replied: "There is only one litter per litter, so it may not be appropriate for a dedicated person to raise them."

"How do you think we can quickly breed cattle and donkeys?" Yuan Xu asked.

"Give it to the people for farming and transporting goods, and at the same time, it is mandatory not to delay the production of cattle and donkeys." Tian Feng said: "As long as calves and donkeys are bred, they must not be bought or sold privately. They must be purchased by the government. Distribute it to the rest of the people."

"That's it!" Yuan Xu nodded: "In addition, fish and poultry farming should be encouraged."

Looking ahead, he said with emotion: "There are too many things that need to be changed, and we can't do it in three to five years, but we don't have that long time at all."

Tian Feng's face was also very serious.

Yuan Xu asked Deng Zhan again: "You are at Cao Cao's place, have you heard of the plan to send troops to Yuan's family?"

"People say it every day." Deng Zhan replied: "Cao Cao is busy collecting food and grass, and recently he is recruiting soldiers and horses. It seems that he is indeed planning to use soldiers against Yuan's family."

"We only have a maximum of one year." Yuan Xu nodded, "Either my father is going to serve Cao's family, or Cao Cao is going to serve Yuan's family."

"What do you plan, son?" Tian Feng asked.

"At that time, of course Taiyuan will send troops." Yuan Xu replied: "You go to draw up the conscription documents and recruit soldiers from all over the world. But anyone who is willing to join the army in Taiyuan will be given the best treatment."

"Then state in the document that there will be meat for every meal, and there will be dishes for each meal." Tian Feng replied.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the land was barren after successive battles, and many places were suffering from famine.

Haoxiong conscripts, as long as they fill their stomachs, many people are willing to join the army.

It is a great happiness for the soldiers to be able to eat vegetables for every meal.

Don't even think about having meat to eat every day.

The conditions offered by Tian Feng are really very attractive.

"If you have meat to eat, you must improve the breeding of livestock." Yuan Xu said: "Go to the fields first to have a look, and when I come back, I will find a way to get some meat. The road ahead will be blocked."

The three walked and talked, and unknowingly came to the gate of the city.
