Although Qu Mao and Kong Ming traveled non-stop along the way and sailed day and night on the sea, when they returned to Yi Island, the holy land of Yi Hou, it was already noon on January 10th in the sixth year of Tianxuan.

Kong Ming did not return to the outlying island immediately, but followed Qu Mao back to the lord's cabin.

When they walked into the living room on the first floor of the lord's hut, Qu Mao and Kong Ming found that Xinping had been waiting for a long time.

Qu Mao frowned and said: "Xinping, the magic communication crystal is very convenient to use. There is no need for you to waste time waiting for us here. One remote communication can solve all problems."

Xinping smiled and nodded, indicating that he had remembered Qu Mao's words, but he still reported to Qu Mao unhurriedly the combat situation of the seven princes in the inverted U-shaped area of ​​the Eastern Continent.

Naturally, Kong Ming also sat down in the living room on the first floor of the lord's hut, listening to Xinping's report slowly.

Finally, after Xinping finished his report, Qu Mao asked: "Oh, according to Zhao Pan's battle report, the strategy for the seven princes ended on January 8, that is, two days ago. It actually took six days.

Well, taking all the territories of the seven princely states in the inverted U-shaped area of ​​the Eastern Continent in six days is not a bad achievement.

However, as many as 50,000 soldiers were killed, and nearly 100,000 soldiers were injured. Compared with the results of the battle, it was not a huge price, but in the end, many soldiers were killed and injured."

Kong Ming shook his goose feather fan and said: "Sir, you are always reluctant to let soldiers die in battle. In fact, when your subordinates are conducting gunpowder application experiments and the development of artillery and muskets, people often die in the experiments. Your Excellency must learn to accept this fact.

, our development time is too short and the results are too urgent.”

Qu Mao nodded and said: "Kong Ming, I understand everything you said, so you don't need to persuade me. I am very satisfied with the result.

You just came back from Sand City in the Kingdom of Gilead, aren't you going to go back to the outlying islands immediately to study your artillery barrels and gun barrels?"

Xinping said: "Sir, everything is normal during the military operations in the Eastern Continent. I don't think there is any need to be too concerned. Lord Zhang Da's garrison and Lord Su Qiaoer's administrative ministries and garrison heroes have already begun to take over.

It's just that Lord Jia Sixie and Lord Franklin King have been in Yicheng for two days, and it seems that they have something very important to discuss with you.

Master Kong Ming happens to be here, why not listen together."

Qu Mao was stunned for a moment, then said: "In terms of seniority, no one in the Holy Land of Yihou Territory is older than Jia Sixie and Franklin King. Since they are both in Yicheng, let's call them back and have lunch together.

Let’s talk about anything while eating, Xinping, why don’t you also have lunch together, in the restaurant on the first floor of the lord’s hut.”

Soon, Jia Sixie and Franklin King walked into the restaurant on the first floor of the Lord's Lodge together.

Jia Sixie glanced at the food in front of him, licked it a few times, and said, "Sir, do we still eat these in our lord's cabin?"

Qu Mao glared at Jia Sixie and said dissatisfiedly: "Jia Sixie, how long have you been going to Liandao Green Forest Town? You actually dislike the food in the lord's cabin."

Jia Sixie smiled and said: "Sir, it's not that I dislike the food in the lord's hut, but the matter that I want to discuss with Franklin has something to do with food.

At the summary meeting at the end of the fifth year of Tianxuan, all departments reported that our territory has made tremendous progress in the military, economy, science and technology, education, etc., but the development related to agriculture is still at the level of desperately producing food.

Speaking,,,edition.]

After all these years, except for your attempt to raise fish on Sky Island, there has been no other progress."

Franklin King said: "Sir, I am in charge of the Animal Husbandry Department. Now the raising of war horses is also controlled by the Logistics Department, so it is basically idle. Except for the nearly 300 acres of fish ponds in Kongdao Fishing Village, there is no animal husbandry.

My subordinates and Jia Sixie are here because they want to discuss with you the development of the entire agriculture industry, including animal husbandry."

Qu Mao said while eating: "You are right, I have been thinking about how to seize more territory from the Eastern Continent recently, but I have not bothered to consider the development of agriculture, the most basic industry.

Jia Sixie, Franklin, if you have any good ideas, just tell me."

Jia Sixie said: "Sir, although you emphasized in the fourth year of Tianxuan that Yihou Territory should develop the catering industry, tourism, etc., but have you noticed that the food in our Yihou Territory is still very simple, either steamed or boiled, great again

A roast.

The residents mainly eat rice, and the war horses mainly eat corn. As for the dishes to go with the rice, they are nothing more than boiled meat, fish, barbecue, and grilled fish. There are not many dishes at all.

In the past, when the territory was small, adults would bring back some other seeds every time they went to Yancheng Port, but now we basically don’t grow anything except grain.

Sir, if we want to develop the catering industry and tourism industry, without sufficient production of dishes, I'm afraid it's just a castle in the air."

Franklin King also said: "Sir, in the past we only resettled people, and the population in the territory was extremely unbalanced in terms of gender, so we did not have the habit of raising poultry and livestock. But now we have moved out so many households, and the newly resettled residents are also based on households.

By providing unit resettlement, the raising of poultry and livestock can be transferred to the hands of residents and enrich the residents' menu."

Qu Mao thought for a while, turned on his cheating technology and took a look, and happened to find more than a dozen vegetable seeds, chicken, duck and goose chicks, as well as piglets, calves and lambs, and the prices were extremely cheap.

So Qu Mao ignored himself and went to the restaurant on the first floor of the lord's hut in Yihou Territory to purchase a pack of each of more than a dozen types of vegetable seeds, 100 chickens, ducks and geese, and 20 piglets, calves and lambs each.

Seeing these things appearing out of thin air, Jia Sixie and Franklin King opened their mouths so wide that they could fit a fist into them.

Qu Mao said nonchalantly: "Franklin, Jia Sixie, I have put very little energy and attention into agriculture and animal husbandry in the past. You can use these to conduct trial planting or trial breeding, and then promote them after enough seeds are left.

You can also find some wild vegetables for domestication experiments. There are no Kongdao Animal Husbandry University and Outlying Islands Agricultural University. You can just let them do the experiments. If you need people or gold coins, you can directly submit them. I will provide sufficient support, but the results are up to you.

Go for it yourself.

You two are the earliest residents of our Yihou territory, so don’t think of yourselves as outsiders."

Jia Sixie and Franklin King bowed their hands and said, "Yes, sir, please rest assured."

On the afternoon of January 10th, the sixth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao, Xinping and Kong Ming did not leave the lord's cabin. They listened to Jia Sixie and Franklin King talking about the future agricultural and animal husbandry development plans of the Yihou territory all afternoon.

Full approval of Franklin King's plan.
