Boil the heavens

"How could there be so much output?" Nian Duan frowned in disbelief.

"There will be." Yan Fei chuckled, "You have seen the yield of potatoes and sweet potatoes before, and rice, the rice I got is quite a prolific variety. It is conservatively estimated that the yield per mu is more than 400 catties. As for corn, intensive cultivation , it should be able to produce more than 100 catties per mu, in fact, Guo Jing’s data is still conservative.”

"According to this data, as long as we survive next autumn, the demand for food in Dazhou can be greatly alleviated."

"Guo Jing, besides farming, what plan do you have for opening up wasteland next year? The cultivated land is far from enough for Da Zhou's future development." Yan Fei looked at Guo Jing.

"Returning to Your Majesty, according to your previous plan, to develop cultivated land in the south direction, I plan to recruit 5000 workers, and it is best to reach [-] people, and continue to develop millions of acres of land in the south." Guo Jing said.

"Millions of acres, quite a huge amount, are you confident? I'm afraid there may not be so many people going to open up wasteland with you." Yan Fei said.

"It doesn't matter if there are fewer people. The key is the puppet of the Mohist school. That thing is so easy to use. One person can support ten people. What's more important is that many people cannot be matched by manpower, but the puppet can do it." Looking at Yan Fei, Guo Jing said, "Your Majesty, I want to apply for five hundred puppet manpower agencies and one hundred Qinglong farming agencies."

Human puppets are simple, humanoid, and powerful.

As for the mechanism puppet, it is a disguised tractor, manned, which is quite convenient when reclaiming wasteland.

Hearing Guo Jing's application, Yan Fei didn't say anything, but old man Ban's old face turned green.

"Guo, do you want to exhaust us old men to death?" Blowing his beard and glaring, the old man Ban said loudly, "Those little bastards are useless, and the hundreds of puppets you want completely need us old men to do it. We can’t do it. Moreover, we still need to study railcars and improve other mechanisms. In one or two months, spring will start and farming will start. You can also continue to open up wasteland. In just two months, the old man will become Not so many organs come out."

In fact, Ban Laotou and others have already adopted Yan Fei’s assembly line operation to produce parts and then form them into shapes, which is already very time-saving and labor-saving. It takes time.

Guo Jing opened his mouth to ask for six hundred puppets, which was really beyond the capabilities of old man Ban and others.

Little by little, in the eight months of last year, these old men only wiped out 90 organ puppets and 13 Qinglong puppets.

Of course, the speed will be faster the further you go. In the first five months, there are still time-consuming tasks such as research and development and modification.

But even so, it was difficult for Old Man Ban and the others to achieve the amount Guo Jing requested.

"Old man Ban, why don't you write a letter and ask Six Fingers to ask someone to come here?" Looking at old man Ban, Yan Fei suddenly said, "Don't worry, I won't force them to stay. I plan to use refined salt to hire them. What do you think?"

"Yan Dan wants to fight the Qin State, and the war needs money, and refined salt is a lot of money, plus your Mohist disciples will not go to the battlefield, I think this is a good deal for both parties."

"This...old man, let me ask the giant!" After thinking about it, old man Ban felt that this deal was not bad for the disciples of the Mo family.

He doesn't care about making money, but Yandan is going to fight, even if the Mohist disciples are neutral, there is no guarantee that they will not be dragged into the water. In this case, it is better to come to Dazhou to avoid it.

"That's for later." Guo Jing looked at the old man stubbornly, "In short, before the beginning of spring, we need at least 60 human puppets and 10 Qinglong organs. It takes two full months, you can do it."

"You can, sir!" Looking at Guo Jing's stubborn expression, the old man wanted to scold, but Yan Fei stopped him, "Do your best, food is really important, you work overtime, no matter what, you can't delay the spring plowing and open up wasteland."

"...Okay!" Yan Fei had already spoken, and the old man had no choice but to agree.

[It seems that the research and development of the rail car is only temporarily stopped. 】

"Your Majesty, there is actually one more question. If we continue to open up wasteland in the south, we will encounter Drizzle City. How should we deal with the relationship with Drizzle City?" Guo Jing asked.

"It's just land reclamation, a friendly visit." Yan Fei laughed, "Drizzle City has less than 1 people in total, so we can't make waves. Of course, it doesn't matter how many people there are. We're taking the route of peaceful ideas. Use money to buy land, understand?"

"I heard from the people of Drizzle City who came to work in Dazhou this year that their city lord is a cruel and money-greedy person. If you give him enough wealth, I believe he will not refuse to add a piece of arable land in front of his house."

"It just happens to let the people of Drizzle City see how much arable land our Dazhou people can have, and make them envious. It's best to make them envious enough to kill their own city lord, and then take the initiative to integrate into us."

0251 Year-end report ([-])

Guo Jing's land issue is a big issue, so he has studied deeply, from what kind of grain to grow, to how much grain to grow, to the care of the cultivated land...

Many details were thrown out and solved one by one, and he spent the whole afternoon solving his problems.

"If all the emperors were as meticulous as you are, I'm afraid they would have died of exhaustion." At night, Concubine Yan said to Yan Fei, "Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish, husband, you should let go."

"You think I don't want to let go?"

Cursing his lips, Yan Fei said, "If you let go, many problems will return to the original track, and it will become like the Seven Heroes of the Central Plains, and the Great Zhou that I want to build is not that kind of dynasty."

"If the country is big, naturally it can't do everything in detail, but now, it's the size of a sesame mung bean, but it can participate in everything. Now, I participate in every little thing, and slowly, every little thing changes. They will all carry my behavior style and thinking mode. Over time, they will affect the executors and form habits, and then the executors will pass on to the next one. Through these executors, they can influence the whole country, let the whole country get used to it and form my habits. The style, the so-called subtlety, is like this."

"I'm planting seeds now, how can I not do it myself? The seeds that are not planted by myself will germinate and take root in the future, and the food grown will be very difficult to satisfy."

"Then what kind of country does His Majesty plan to build Great Zhou into?" Concubine Yan laughed.

"My ideal country." Yan Fei chuckled.

"Hmph, avoid the serious and take the light." Hearing Yan Fei's answer, Concubine Yan groaned softly and patted Yan Fei's chest.

"Hey...Madam, just wait and see. You have to experience the specific country for yourself. Wouldn't it be boring if I said it?" Yan Fei grabbed the jade hand that Concubine Yan put on her chest, and then Turn over and press it down.

On the second day, the year-end report continued.

The one who started today is Arnold who is in charge of animal husbandry.

A Nuo, the boss of the descendants of the moon wolf, is also the father of the little girl named Nuo Min captured by Yan Ling Ji.

The descendants of the moon wolf lived on the grasslands, oppressed by the Huns, and lived a miserable life. They were suddenly rescued by Yan Fei. At first, they were not used to it, but after adapting for a while, thanks to Dade, they integrated into the Great Zhou , are the people of Da Zhou, but they even consider themselves Yan Fei's slaves.

In their opinion, being a slave of Yan Fei is the happiest thing in the world.

As a result of being enslaved for a long time, coupled with the special thinking of the grassland, in this way, this Anuo became a member of the Great Zhou with the old and weak descendants of the seven hundred moon wolves.

The descendants of the moon wolf, apart from the ability to summon the wolves, their ability that Yan Fei likes the most is not poison production or combat power, but animal husbandry.

These guys are good at keeping livestock.

"Your Majesty, the descendants of the moon wolf surrendered to Da Zhou three months ago and began to take over the animal husbandry of Da Zhou. In the past three months, the descendants of the moon wolf have already acquired 1234 cattle and 2100 horses through purchasing and taming. , raising 12321, in addition, the number of chickens, ducks and geese that His Majesty asked for free-range breeding also reached tens of thousands." A Nuo reported a series of surprising numbers to Yan Fei.

"A Nuo, you really did not disappoint me." Yan Fei happily said if he watched A Nuo's report with interest, "Tell me specifically."

"Thanks to His Majesty's divine power..."

A Nuo told the story between him and the cows and horses. A Nuo's animal husbandry is all free-range farming. In fact, this is also Yan Fei's request. The centralized breeding has good and bad. At present, there is no shortage of meat in Da Zhou, so , Yan Fei is not going to do this either.

The main reason is infectious diseases. Although intensive breeding is very efficient and saves countless costs such as space and time, once the disease occurs, it is quite serious. Moreover, although the meat quality of long-term intensive breeding is not bad, it is definitely not good. At least, the physical development of people is very general.

In addition, the unique breeding technology of the descendants of the moon wolf is also an important reason for Yan Fei to give up intensive breeding for the time being. They can prepare a very powerful feed. After eating this feed, the cattle, sheep and horses will not only grow meat, but also become stronger. .

"Your Majesty, when it comes to breeding, these cattle, sheep and horses consume too much food." At this time, Li Si suddenly said, "It's better in summer, but in autumn and winter, if you want these cattle and horses not to lose weight, you must Although the food they feed is the most inferior food, it can’t support the appetite of these animals, so my subordinates suggest that the scale of the farm should not be expanded for the time being.”

"No, we need to expand." Looking at Li Si, Yan Fei smiled and said, "But it's not just the breeding farm that will be expanded, I also want to build a meat joint factory."

"Arnold's breeding methods are quite good. Many livestock are already pregnant and can give birth after the new year. This is a good cycle. Now that I have a certain foundation, I plan to turn these cattle, horses and sheep into practical benefits. Computing is not self-sufficient for the time being, and I believe it can also alleviate part of the funding gap.

As for the specific measures, first of all, it is natural to slaughter and sell meat, but Da Zhou's own consumption capacity is limited, so he established a meat joint factory, processed it into high-quality products that can be stored for a long time, and sold it to nobles in the Central Plains and Western Regions. The price is good; secondly, the meat processing factory mainly processes pork. As for horses, our horses are far stronger than the war horses in the grassland. I plan to sell war horses. "

"War horses are a strategic material, and its profit is almost as good as refined salt. As for cattle, we have too much arable land to plant and too much wasteland to reclaim. Except for government puppets, all these jobs depend on them. gone."
