Three Kingdoms: Ten Times Speed, Diao Chan Says I'm Too Fast

Time flies, and several days have passed.

Five or six days had passed since Duan Yu entered Ji County.

For the past five or six days, the atmosphere in Ji County has been unusually eerie.

Ever since Duan Yu entered Ji County on the first day and piled up more than 10,000 Qiang heads into a Jingguan (a mound of skulls) in the east of Ji County, officials throughout Ji County felt a bloody stench sweeping into Liangzhou.

The previous governor of Hanyang Prefecture had always adopted a policy of appeasement towards the Qiang people.

But as Duan Yu arrived in Hanyang County, everyone realized that the winds of change were about to blow.

Duan Yu's tough methods, coupled with the arrogant and fierce generals behind him, and the support of his father-in-law Dong Zhuo, made him a formidable force.

Coupled with Duan Yushi's reputation as a tiger general, it seemed that all the officials, big and small, in Ji County had already heard the clarion call of war.

The day after Duan Yu took office in Ji County, Governor Liang Hu claimed to be ill and stayed at home.

But everyone knew that Liang Hu had already sent a memorial to Luoyang impeaching Duan Yu.

Liang Hu stayed indoors to avoid direct confrontation.

But what puzzled everyone was...

On the second day after arriving in Ji County, Duan Yu did some routine initiation work and then dumped all his affairs on Gai Xun, the Prefect of Hanyang Commandery.

Then he even shut himself in and refused to come out.

It has been five or six days now.

This left all the officials in Ji County completely bewildered.

Nobody knows what Duan Yu is up to.

Moreover, in the past few days, a large amount of vegetation has been continuously transported from outside to Duan Yu's residence.

In addition to vegetation, there are also a large number of livestock.

Pigs, horses, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese, dogs, and the like.

The hottest topic of discussion at the county government residence right now is what Liang Hu is doing, locking himself in his house.

What is Duan Yu doing locking himself in his house?

...........

In front of an unused courtyard in the rear residence of the prefect.

Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu stood listlessly in front of the door.

There were also many soldiers guarding the courtyard.

The high walls completely concealed the interior of the courtyard.

So much so that from the outside, it was impossible to see what was happening inside, or what Duan Yu was doing inside.

"It's been five or six days already."

Tie Shitou, whose legs were getting sore from standing, squatted down, put his hands on his knees and stretched his legs, and said, "The general locks himself up here every day, I don't know what he's doing."

"Don't just say you want to know, everyone wants to know right now."

"Everyone originally thought that the general was going to wage war against the Qiang people."

"But there was a fight when we came here, and we didn't catch up with it."

"The newly arrived Lü Bu and Qu Yi have both made contributions."

Wang Hunu helplessly turned around and looked at the tightly closed courtyard gate behind him.

..........

In the courtyard.

Five days ago, this was a clean, unused courtyard.

It was generally used as a residence for servants and attendants in the household.

But ever since Duan Yu started using this courtyard five days ago, it has undergone a complete transformation.

Various kinds of trees were transported to the courtyard.

The bluestone paving stones on the ground were all pried off.

Large pits were dug out of the ground.

Some of the delivered saplings have already been planted.

Others were lying haphazardly in the courtyard.

Besides saplings, there were also all kinds of livestock.

Pigs, cattle, horses, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese, and dogs.

The chickens, ducks, geese, dogs, pigs, cattle, horses, and sheep roaming around have turned this courtyard into a farmhouse.

I'm watching Duan Yu.

He was not wearing armor.

He wasn't even wearing his official robes.

He was only wearing a light gray short-sleeved brown shirt.

If only he were a little shorter and his skin a little darker.

That's incredibly close to ordinary people.

At this moment, Duan Yu, under the blazing sun, was holding a whip in his hand.

In front of it was a group of black boars.

The local pigs are not very big, ranging from around 100 jin (50 kg) to over 100 jin (50 kg).

"Cuckoo~"

"Cuckoo~"

Holding a whip in his hand, Duan Yu followed behind several pigs, slowly waving the whip to drive them away.

It looks just like people driving pigs home from the fields.

If military commanders or officials from Ji County were to witness this scene, they would surely be astonished.

A dignified general, the Empress Dowager of Hanyang Commandery, the Marquis of Guoting, and the General of the Central Army who was sent to the Xiongnu, was actually herding pigs!

However, Duan Yu's expression was very serious, and he tirelessly drove the pigs around the house in the courtyard.

【Ding! 】

[Ding! The [Tenfold Effect] has taken effect. The host has completed one beast taming, and the effect has been increased tenfold. Congratulations, host, you have gained +1 experience.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for accumulating experience in the [Domestication of Livestock] skill. You have gained a new attribute: [Breed Improvement - Blue 0/10000]]

[Breed Improvement: All livestock belonging to the host will undergo significant quality improvements in their next generation, with a one-third reduction in growth cycle, a 100% increase in meat quality, a 100% increase in resistance, and a 100% increase in yield. All offspring will inherit these qualities, as will subsequent generations of livestock bred, regardless of the host's ownership.]

I heard the system voice in my mind.

Duan Yu immediately threw away the whip in his hand in excitement.

"Damn it, it finally worked!"

Duan Yu's legs were getting numb from walking, so he retreated to the steps by the door and sat down.

too difficult.

It's really too difficult.

Who would have thought that he was a general, a prefect of a county?

I've been staying home for so many days, neither to handle official business nor to enjoy life.

They were actually herding livestock on this school campus.

It's not quite like grazing.

I suppose... well, it's probably something we should raise.

Ever since that day when Jia Xu poured cold water on me.

He made up his mind to change his approach to treating cold.

Having only a big stick is definitely not enough.

I want to cure Liang, I want to cure Qiang.

They wanted to expand the population of Liangzhou.

There is only one way.

They engage in commerce and animal husbandry.

We need to use both a big stick and sweet dates; we have to do it all at once.

As for how to proceed, after being cooped up in this small courtyard for five days, Duan Yu had already come up with a plan.

Turn on the system.

Duan Yu glanced at his system.

I took a look at the results of these five days.

Name: Duan Yu

【Age: 25】

Height: 191cm

[Weight: 95 kg]

【词条：【十倍速度-金色】【箭如连珠-紫色164579/1000000】【九牛之力-紫色70000/100000】【抽刀断水-红色45000/100000】【种子改良-蓝色0/10000】【一寸光阴一寸金-白99/1000】【势如破竹-蓝色0/10000】】【品种改良-蓝色0/10000】【树种改良-蓝色0/10000】

For the past five days, besides herding pigs, sheep, walking dogs, and feeding chickens in the courtyard, he did only one thing.

Plant trees!

That's right, it's about planting trees.

He had a general understanding of how the entries were activated.

It means repeating the same thing over and over again.

Therefore, after deciding to treat the cold in two ways.

He then thought of animal husbandry and planting.

Four words are indispensable in any era.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation.

In the ancient agricultural era, housing and transportation were relatively basic, and these were considered areas for improvement in living standards.

But clothing and food are necessities.

But he had already developed seed improvement techniques.

Now all we have to do is wait for the autumn harvest so we can get the improved seeds and then start planting.

Duan Yu's initial idea was to get the Qiang and Xiongnu peoples, who were mainly nomadic, to give up herding and turn to farming.

This allows for centralized management.

But after thinking about it for a while, Duan Yu felt something was off.

If these Qiang and Xiongnu people had grain in their hands, and it was even an improved variety of grain.

Without the food crisis, for example, the Qiang people.

The population of Liangzhou was already greater than that of the Han Chinese.

With the food crisis over and enough food available, will the Qiang people experience a population boom?

And without a food crisis, will these guys all become professional soldiers?

Duan Yu's original intention was to increase grain production by changing the crop, and then train professional soldiers.

If we accidentally raise the Qiang people, then we'll be in trouble.

Therefore, Duan Yu decisively rejected this method.

The seeds of this grain must absolutely not be allowed to leave the country.

Otherwise, it will surely become a disaster in the future.

At the very least, before he becomes a regional lord, these seeds must not be allowed to leave the country.

One method won't work.

Then we'll have to find another way.

The solution must be one that not only fails to fundamentally increase the strength of the alien races but also weakens them, and it must be one that makes them willing to comply.

Therefore, Duan Yu thought of the method Qin used to destroy Han.

When the Qin state unified the six states, the first one it destroyed was the state of Han.

The first battle in Qin's conquest of Han began with a trade war.

When Qin Shi Huang ordered the large-scale purchase of refined copper and iron, the people of Han were instead engaged in iron smelting instead of farming.

Because of the high price of iron, a laborer could earn money by smelting iron much faster than by farming.

Food, on the other hand, can be bought with money.

This led to the abandonment of large amounts of farmland in South Korea, with people flocking to iron smelting farms.

This trade war is not without its problems.

But even if they discover it, they can't stop it.

Because this is the human heart.

Human greed makes it impossible for the public to even realize this crisis.

You don't smelt iron, you farm, but the grain you painstakingly grow is easily sold by others who make money from smelting iron.

In addition to purchasing large quantities of iron, the Qin state also continuously sold low-priced grain to the Han state.

This is a conspiracy.

A calculated scheme targeting the people of a nation.

Duan Yu was also inspired by Qin's use of trade war to defeat the state of Han.

So Duan Yu began planting trees.

Duan Yu remembered seeing a slogan in his village when he was a child.

To get rich, raise pigs first; have fewer children and plant more trees.

Animal husbandry can provide a large amount of meat and fur.

But planting trees...

It might work in later generations, but it certainly wouldn't work in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

But Duan Yu didn't want any other kind of tree.

It is a mulberry tree.

This is the crux of the trade war.

In Liangzhou, the Qiang people are promoting mulberry planting, silkworm rearing, and cloth weaving.

Cloth was also an extremely important strategic material in this era.

Duan Yu had already discovered this when they were in Jinyang.

Cloth can even be used as money.

A piece of ordinary linen costs around four hundred coins, which is equivalent to the price of one shi (a unit of dry measure) of rice.

The price of a bolt of silk would be around eight hundred to one thousand coins.

As for better silk, it is even more valuable.

The Qiang people lack resources, mainly due to a lack of economic resources.

If we promote mulberry cultivation and silkworm rearing among the Qiang people and teach them weaving techniques, the Qiang people will have a stable source of income.

Of course, Duan Yu would collect the woven cloth; he couldn't let the Qiang people sell it on their own.

Liangzhou was a vital stop on the Silk Road leading to the Western Regions.

Silk was also a major commodity traded through the Western Regions.

Not only in the Western Regions, but also during the Han Dynasty.

With the Zhen family, a powerful merchant family, Duan Yu naturally had no shortage of sales channels.

He promoted mulberry planting, silkworm breeding, and cloth weaving among the Qiang people, and then purchased these goods from them to take revenge on them. This would weaken the Qiang people's nomadic lifestyle and reduce their migration.

This also allowed them to lay down their weapons and have a stable source of income.

Subsequently, it promoted handicrafts and animal husbandry among the Han people.

By selling goods to the Qiang people, a perfect closed loop is formed.

Weaken the Qiang ethnic group, strengthen production capacity, export goods, and accumulate wealth.

Get more in one fell swoop.

So for the next five days, Duan Yu did nothing but plant trees, feed chickens and walk dogs, and tend to the silkworms he raised.

Five days of hard work were not in vain.

The improved mulberry species have significantly enhanced the tree's resistance and growth cycle.

Next, it will be implemented!
