Speaking of Liaodong, there is another thing that provides a lot of support, and that is talents, seeds, and livestock.

The seeds have been collected and will be planted after spring. As for the livestock, they need to be transported after spring. This is to avoid being sent there in winter and not receiving good care.

As for talents, there are many aspects, including farmers and herdsmen who cultivate the land; talents who have planned villages and pastures, and people who are proficient in fruit planting and poultry raising.

The first order that officials from various places received was to restore people's livelihood, try their best to resettle the people, and survive the winter safely; and the second order was to count the mineral deposits in the jurisdiction. How is the food output? How about the water resources? There are also those wild foods that are not usually paid attention to.

, medicinal materials.

Integrating manpower and resources is the first step to vigorous development. This is a path for future generations, especially in this era of underdeveloped machinery, it is very necessary.

Zou Yu was very lucky to have two such top talents in his hands now. After talking with Zou Yu for several days, the two brothers Yan Lide and Yan Liben finally willingly agreed to continue to serve as the master craftsman and the young craftsman supervisor.

This is because they have seen the armor and weapons of Liaodong and are very interested in the theory of alloys. There are also many new ideas proposed by Zou Yu, such as how to drive various instruments without animals, and the most important thing is how to use the power of nature.

.

Yan Lide went to Liaodong to find a place to build a large waterwheel, firstly for irrigation, and secondly for mining and forging.

Waterwheels have been around for a long time, but the private sector is weak and there is no technology in some places? Some places are not suitable for placement? Some places do not have both. This time, craftsmen will come forward? According to the local water resources?

Build canals, make? Place water trucks to irrigate fields.

Because Liaodong's technical strength is weak, Yan Lide needs to personally lead people there? In the Central Plains, there are craftsmen supervising some craftsmen, so they can go to different places separately.

Organize the people to work and distribute the clothes and food to them. It is not charity, but what they have earned through hard work. In this way, the livelihood of the people is solved and things are done well. The key is that it does not cultivate the people's moral integrity.

Lazy? Don’t think of relying on relief whenever you encounter difficulties.

Carloads of grain are shipped from Yongfengcang to various places. A large number of people come out of their homes to participate in the construction work organized by the government; this is the first time in history that the government has built large-scale convenience projects for the people.

It also provides meals for the people, which naturally makes people flock to it during the slack season. After all, three meals a day is a very luxury in ordinary people's families, especially in winter.

Xue Yantuo moved inland and brought more than 3,000 cattle with him. Zou Yu exchanged woolen clothes for 2,000, because Xue Yantuo would also re-establish a captive pasture in the next year and focus on planting land, but it was enough for them to keep 1,000 cattle. After all,

If there are not enough cattle, horses can still plow the land.

When it comes to keeping warm, of course, cotton-padded clothes are indispensable, and cotton was finally found after many inquiries. It turns out that cotton has long been available in the Central Plains, but it is a kind of wild grass cotton, called cotton! It is used to fill quilts, clothes, and pillows, and is used by ordinary people.

It is collected in the wild, and its thermal insulation effect is very poor, because it has no silk and cannot be woven.

The cotton that Zou Yu is looking for is now called Baidiezi. It is an ornamental plant that blooms every two years. (Cotton first bloomed every two years. Later, after planting for a long time and selecting the best, it gradually became an annual.

plant.)

Although he didn't understand why it was a biennial plant, he found the actual plant from Jinyang Palace, but there were not many. Fortunately, he was not in a hurry now, so Zou Yu asked people to go to Gaochang and other places to buy a large amount of seeds.

According to the orders from Jinyang, there are a large number of official documents from various places every day, which keeps Zou Yu busy. Fortunately, he has many people under his command now. There is no need to go there in person for many things. He only needs to teach some people.

Then just assign them to take command.

With Li Jing in charge of supervising and training soldiers, Li Keshi went to inspect various places. This was because he had a better understanding of Liaodong's model. Zou Yu, Fang Xuanling, Xue Yuanjing, Yin Shishi and others were the busiest.

With the power of victory, the government orders were passed smoothly. Although many people still had some doubts and expressed concerns about whether this young general could govern well, they still followed the orders. Especially at the beginning, most of them

Government orders are all directed towards people's livelihood.

Government orders that are helpful to people's livelihood will definitely not have much impact. After all, it is not farming now. As time goes by, everyone gradually begins to admire Zou Yu, because under his rule, the people's enthusiasm is mobilized and they are all

He participated in the work in full swing, and there was no turmoil due to the use of people's power. People's hearts quickly recovered and stabilized.

The canals used to irrigate the fields with water trucks do not need to be too big or too deep, so they were quickly spread all over the country. There were also many people who knew carpentry. Under the guidance of the craftsmen and supervisors, the water trucks were also built one after another.

Standing by the river.

Because water is diverted for irrigation, it must not be all from rivers, but also mountains and rivers. Mountain water flows along the hillside and usually flows into rivers. This requires digging large reservoirs in appropriate places and then diverting the water.

Of course, there are two important tasks for excavation in various places, which is to dig out wells and fish ponds. Basically, we must ensure that every village has more than two wells and two or three large fish ponds.

Firstly, it is convenient for the people, and secondly, it stores water. In years of severe drought, it can at least last longer.

With the rapid development in various places, the soldiers have become transport teams, traveling north and south, east and west, transporting food and materials to ensure the smooth progress of work in various places.

Another advantage of this big operation is that it can show the abilities of local officials. Now under Zou Yu's rule, there are 121 counties, including 50 county magistrates. These are new recruits.

Now is the best time to observe whether the roughly selected ones are competent.

Similarly, the recruited scholars from poor families, Zou family, Lu family, and family members will also be tempered and inspected during this operation.

What Zou Yu is most satisfied with is that now in the entire Jinyang small court, no one from top to bottom is dissatisfied. Regardless of their ability, at least they are serious about doing things. This is an attitude. Good ability does not necessarily lead to solid popularity.

, unless your ability is very outstanding, your superiors will accept your minor flaws.
