Chapter 211, Harvest Festival

So he found the best armor among the entire Tengjia Army, found Wan Shi and said to him: "Go to Luoyang City, find Dong Zhuo, and say I congratulate him on becoming the Great Han Sikong. Here is a set of soft armor.

A set of inner armor and a set of plate armor, just tell Dong Zhuo that these gifts are my congratulatory gifts to him, and tell him to take care of himself in Luoyang City!"

Now that Dong Zhuo has entered Luoyang City, it is certain that he will fall out with the noble family.

Now Xu Wei is worried that his butterfly effect has deceived Dong Zhuo. Historically, Dong Zhuo should have been assassinated many times, so he was so cautious and even arranged for Lu Bu to protect him. Historically, he must have not been assassinated.

Stone, but now that there is a big butterfly like myself, it may not be possible?

Who knows if Dong Zhuo can escape these assassinations? If Dong Zhuo is beaten to death by his wings, Xu Wei will be so depressed that he vomits blood! So he simply gave him some defensive armor to save his life! Anyway,

He has to obey fate in everything he does! This is all he can do to help Dong Zhuo. I hope Dong Zhuo in this world can be more powerful and turn the whole Han Dynasty upside down!

Xu Wei has no time to pay attention to Dong Zhuo now.

Because another group of disaster victims came to Bingzhou, Xu Wei sighed that the Han Dynasty had indeed entered the end of the dynasty, and even God wanted human lives.

Obviously, the Yellow River flooded last year, and it flooded again in June this year, flooding several counties in the Central Plains and causing millions of refugees. At this time, Emperor Ling died of illness, and the entire Luoyang City court was busy.

In the struggle for power and profit, whoever has time to manage the victims here will leave it to the local prefect and county magistrate to handle it themselves!

As for the governors of the Central Plains, what else could they do if they had no money or food? They could only use the old method. Whenever victims appeared, they would throw them to the north bank of the Yellow River, and the rest was none of their business.

The noble families in the Central Plains also learned new methods of land annexation. When they found the refugees, they found ways to help them go to Hebei. However, they were embarrassed to accept the land left by the common people and regarded it as labor payment. In the Central Plains

With the joint efforts of the prefecture magistrates and noble families, millions of refugees in the entire Central Plains crossed the Yellow River in less than a month!

Although there are millions less ordinary people in the Central Plains, due to these two floods, there are many more families in the entire Central Plains. The power of the powerful and aristocratic families across the states and counties. The power of the aristocrats in the entire Central Plains has been reduced during these two natural disasters.

Becoming more and more powerful.

These victims either entered Bingzhou through Hanoi County, or crossed the Yellow River to Jizhou. Most of the others came to Jizhou! When Yang Biao, the shepherd of Jizhou, learned about this, he was so angry that he wanted to kill people. What kind of thing is this? Beggar-thy-neighbor is not the way to do it.

of!

Only Huangfu Song sighed helplessly and said: "Arrange these refugees to settle in western Hebei. There happens to be a lot of barren land there, and I will need a lot of labor to build the fort in western Hebei. They come at the right time. I

There is a shortage of young people here! You can arrange for these victims to go to Western Hebei, and I will take care of them!"

After Huangfusong took in Lei Gong's situation, he found that the entire Han Dynasty, whether it was Wubao or the city, was almost like paper in front of Lei Gong. He learned in detail that there were two methods for Lei Gong to attack the city. One was to use crowbars.

It was planned that all thieves and bandits in Jizhou would gather together, and any fort would be easily breached by using a crowbar. After seeing the crowbar, Huangfu Song also marveled at Lei Gong's whimsical idea.

But there are still people who use thunder magic. Even Huangfu Song doesn't know about it, but he doesn't know that Lei Gong's thunder magic is not used to fool people like Zhang Jiao's magic, but is real. Several cities have been affected by thunder.

There are tens of thousands of people who have seen the thunder method, but Huangfu Song thinks that Lei Gong must have mastered something similar to thunder and lightning, and there are not many of them. If Lei Gong really knows the thunder method, he will

Thunder magic should be used in battles, instead of being used only on a few battlefields as it is now.

This made Huangfu Song breathe a sigh of relief. If he really fought against Lei Gong, he really didn't know how big the battle would be. But now Lei Gong only uses a secret technique, and there are not many of it. It can only be used at critical moments. This thunder can only be used at critical moments.

The threat from the law is much smaller.

Therefore, Huangfu Song's main focus is to deal with the crowbar. Compared with the thunder method that only Lei Gong knows, the crowbar poses a greater threat to the Han Dynasty. It makes the situation where defense is stronger than offense come true for the first time in thousands of years.

Improvement, to conquer a city together requires more than 10 times the number of troops. Now even with equal strength, it is possible to conquer the city. It is because of this crowbar that the Yellow Turban Thieves can offset the role of the fortress and can use their strength in numbers.

The advantages.

The main reason why Jizhou's clan was so miserable was because of the crowbar. After thinking for a while, Huangfusong and his men found that the best way to deal with the crowbar was to use giant rocks as the base of Wubao.

The foundation of the fort is made of huge rocks, which makes the crowbar useless.

With the existence of the Taihang Mountains, there is no shortage of stones, but it consumes a lot of manpower and material resources to mine them. With this group of cheap labor, the construction of fortifications in western Hebei can also be accelerated. For Huangfusong, the only drawback is the increase in food consumption.

Huangfu Song's words made Yang Biao feel relieved. It would be great if someone was willing to take over. He was not Liu Bei. He couldn't help drive the refugees to Bingzhou!

Yang Biao thought for a while and asked: "Now that Jizhou has to resettle millions of refugees, should we stop the encirclement and suppression of the Yellow Turban Army for a while?"

After Huangfu Song came to Jizhou, although he had not yet taken action against Xu Wei, the military operations had not stopped. There were 5,000 soldiers in the Taihang Mountains all year round to suppress the Yellow Turban thieves and bandits in the Taihang Mountains. It can be said that the entire Taihang Mountains were never stopped, because Huangfu Song

Song knew that Jizhou was a flat plain and the terrain was easy to attack and difficult to defend. If he wanted to fight the Tengjia Army and besiege the Tengjia Army, he had to find a way to occupy favorable terrain, and he had to find a way to occupy the favorable terrain in the Taihang Mountains.

Naturally, Xu Wei could not watch Huangfu Song's military actions indifferently, but armed Wang Dang and others. They wanted to avenge Zhang Yan and fight the Han army, and Xu Wei helped them. In the past few months, Wang Dang

When they had the weapons and equipment provided by Xu Wei, they actually fought back and forth with Ju Yi and the others, and they did not lose!

Huangfusong said calmly: "We can't stop. If we stop now, all our efforts will be wasted. Now the Tengjia Army does not dare to fight us because of the food problem, so we can still have the advantage. If Lei Gong solves the food problem, it will be our turn."

Facing hundreds of thousands of elite iron armored troops, Wen Xian thought there was any dangerous place in Jizhou that could block hundreds of thousands of rattan armored troops?"

Yang Biao was speechless. Jizhou became the granary of the Han Dynasty because it was the Great Plains. What a dangerous place it came from. But he finally understood that now Huangfu Song was occupying a dangerous place for Jizhou.

After talking to Yang Biao about resettling the refugees, Huangfu Song came to Changshan Kingdom, and Ju Yi surrounded and suppressed them in the Changshan Kingdom area.

Huangfu Song came to Xu Rong and asked, "How is the battle situation with Yuntian and the others?"

Xu Rong smiled bitterly and said: "With the support of Lei Gong, the Yellow Turban Army has improved a lot in terms of weapons, equipment and organizational strength. Moreover, there are two fierce generals in the Yellow Turban Army who can defeat ten thousand people. Even Yuntian's skills can't take advantage of it." It’s so cheap, now it’s hard for Yuntian to suppress them,”

Huangfu Song was surprised and said: "Is there anyone else who is Yuntian's opponent?"

Ju Yi is famous for his bravery in Xiliang. He likes to attack on the front line in battles and tear apart the enemy's military formation with his strong martial arts. There are few people in Xiliang who are Ju Yi's opponents, so Huangfu Song was surprised by the Yellow Turban Army. There is actually someone among them who can fight Ju Yi!

Xu Rong smiled bitterly and said: "These two people are named Yan Liang Wen Chou. They were the thieves Cao and personal guards of Fu Zhoumu. After Fu Zhoumu was assassinated by the nobles in Jizhou, they joined forces with Zhang Yan to help Fu Zhoumu take revenge and massacred many people from the noble families in Jizhou. , and then led hundreds of people to fly the banner of Dao for Heaven, and became bandits on the Taihang Mountains! However, they usually targeted people from the noble families, and did not harm the common people! But I don’t know why they got involved with the Yellow Turban Army. Together."

After hearing this, Huangfu Song sighed and said, "What a pity that these two loyal and good men have gone astray like this!"

At this time, Ju Yi, who was covered in blood, entered the tent and said angrily: "It's just a shame. What's the point of using an iron-clad sword?"

Huangfusong asked: "Why is Yuntian so angry?"

Ju Yi said loudly: "I had the upper hand in our fight with Yan Liang today, but I didn't expect that he was wearing this precious armor, and the sword in his hand was better than mine. I was about to win, but the sword was chopped off. broken!"

Huangfu Song said: "So that's it. I will find you a good set of armor and sword right now. I will not let you lose to the Yellow Turban Army in terms of equipment!"

But Ju Yi's face didn't look much better. Instead, he said: "General, just a set of armor is useless. With Lei Gong's support, the equipment of the Yellow Turban Army is generally better than ours. Not to mention that their ceramic armor is lighter than cowhide." The armor is more than three times stronger. Now our troops are training to improve their combat effectiveness, but the Yellow Turban Army is also doing the same thing. Even because their equipment is better than ours, their combat effectiveness is improving faster than us!"

Huangfusong thought for a while and said: "It is impossible for Lei Gong to help the Yellow Turban Army expand. Wang Dang's soldiers only have tens of thousands of people who escaped from the Taihang Mountains. Therefore, the Yellow Turban Army cannot be our opponent despite all efforts. Yuntian, you can think of a way to let the Yellow Turban Army expand." The soldiers in the field also went to the Taihang Mountains to fight with them and gain experience. Our real enemy is still Thunder Lord!"

Ju Yi nodded and said: "No!"

Xu Wei, who was in Bingzhou, breathed a sigh of relief when he knew that Huangfu Song had accepted most of the refugees because he wanted to colonize the area. Bingzhou would really be unable to cope with the millions of refugees. If so many refugees really came, Xu Wei would have to attack Jizhou or Youzhou has expanded its territory to accommodate the refugees. Now there are only hundreds of thousands of refugees entering Bingzhou, so Xu Wei, the refugee, can still be resettled!

Valley Thorium

Although there are no more refugees in Bingzhou, some refugees can still be resettled in the grassland. Xu Wei can only organize the refugees into 30 battalions of field soldiers, intending to place them near the Xianbei Wangting Khantan Mountain, where there is abundant water and grass. It is a good place for grazing.

Xu Wei first asked them to take good care of themselves in Taiyuan County. Just from September, the grain harvest in the entire Bingzhou began. Xu Wei simply made the 30th Battalion of the field soldiers become Mai Ke, each of whom was given a sickle to help the villagers cut wheat to earn some travel expenses.

.

The people in Taiyuan County also sympathized with these victims very much. Most of them were just like these victims a year ago. When they saw them, it was like seeing themselves before. They gave them some food or some cloth.

Help these victims to the best of your ability!

In this way, the field soldiers of the 30th Battalion harvested one county after another. While harvesting, they continued to move north! Soon they arrived at Mayi, the large granary of Bingzhou!

The people of Mayi also welcomed these field soldiers to help. There were many old tribesmen here in Mayi. Everyone had their own money-making skills, such as raising sheep and weaving. The family-style textile industry in Mayi

It is very popular, and daily work consumes most of their energy. During the autumn harvest, there is a bit of labor shortage.

Of course, even if doing other things is highly profitable, the tribesmen in Mayi will personally harvest food during the harvest season. After all, in recent years, natural and man-made disasters have continued in places outside the scope of the Tengjia Army, making everyone attach great importance to food income.

But every time it is harvest time, the whole Mayi will be very busy and there is a very shortage of labor force. Now that Xu Wei has brought hundreds of thousands of labor force, everyone will naturally welcome it.

Xu Wei also attaches great importance to the grain harvest here in Mayi. The food here is related to whether the entire Tengjia Army can eat enough!

Xu Wei looked at the strong wheat and said happily: "This year's wheat harvest seems to be higher than last year!"

"That's right, the land in Mayi has been matured after several years of cultivation. The soil fertility is very high. This year's grain yield per mu is an average of 5 shi. In just one autumn harvest, we harvested more than 25 million shi of grain! And

Students from the College of Agriculture also discovered the use of struvite. The more struvite applied to the land, the greater the grain output. In the experimental field, there is a wheat field with an yield of more than 8 shi per mu!"

This year's autumn harvest affects the entire Tengjia Army. Everyone is assigned a county to supervise the autumn harvest, and Old Man Wang is assigned to Yanmen County, so he came to Mayi earlier than Xu Wei to organize everyone's autumn harvest.

, in order to ensure the success of the autumn harvest, he even closed many factories, and this is why everyone welcomes this group of field soldiers!

Even he didn't know that struvite could increase the wheat yield to more than 8 dan per mu. Xu Wei was surprised and said: "Then why not apply more struvite to the entire fields in Mayi? If the struvite is not enough, we will let

Fan Xian led his fleet to dig in Youzhou! The entire tribe in Bingzhou is so hungry that their faces are yellow and their muscles are thin. Now the grain production can be doubled, so everyone no longer needs to use food stamps."

Xu Wei, who was troubled by food, did not expect that there was such a quick way to increase production. If the grain output of the entire Bingzhou was 8 shi, he could feed half of the world in Bingzhou! By then, what would the princes of the world have to do with themselves?

Fight for the world!

Old man Wang smiled bitterly and said: "But struvite cannot be applied randomly. There are 100 acres of land because too much struvite was applied, and the wheat was burned to death. Now those students are still trying to figure out how to increase grain production the most.

, so much that it won’t burn the wheat!”

Agricultural students discovered that it is not enough to increase the amount of fertilizer. They found that if the amount is exceeded, the wheat will be burned. Applying a small amount will not increase the yield. Moreover, they also found that when the amount of struvite is not applied, adding a large amount

It is possible to increase production, but if it is increased too much, the effect of increasing production will not be high, and it is easy to waste precious struvite.

Moreover, they discovered that struvite must be fertilized with other fertilizers to increase food production. In short, there are many ways to fertilize, so that Old Man Wang was as confused as if he were listening to a book from heaven. Now they are all trying to find ways to study it.

How much struvite is most appropriate to apply on one acre of land!

"But I think the current production is already very good. Now many people in Youzhou and Jizhou know the use of struvite. The price of struvite has skyrocketed. Too much needs to be applied, which exceeds the growth of grain."

The price is not worth it, and now several islands near the Youzhou coastline have been dug out. I’m worried that if we continue to dig like this, future generations will go hungry!”

Xu Wei smiled bitterly and said: "If even I am starving to death, what future generations will there be! Our Tengjia Army is not short of money, what we are short of is food. If the entire Bingzhou can produce 5 shi per mu of food next year, everyone will

You can have a full meal!”

In fact, the situation of the Tengjia Army is much better now. Judging from this year's autumn harvest, the annual grain output has exceeded 100 million dan, about 120 to 30 million dan. Bingzhou said that

There are tens of millions of people, but in fact there are only more than 8 million. With the tens of millions of cattle and sheep raised by Tengjia Army, the food is enough for everyone.

The reason why they did not relax the food limit was because the Tengjia Army was frightened by the natural disasters in the Han Dynasty in recent years. When the Yellow River flooded, millions of refugees were displaced, and there were also some droughts in Bingzhou. It was just because Xu Wei mobilized millions of people to build water conservancy facilities.

, no one feels it, but old people like Old Man Wang can detect it through rainy weather.

Moreover, the grasslands are not stable either. Snowstorms have continued in the past two years. This is just because most of the herdsmen of Tengjia Army have begun to settle down and graze. Not many cattle and sheep have been frozen to death. In addition, the frozen cattle and sheep can be sold to Mayi. This is

The herdsmen's losses were greatly reduced, so no disasters occurred. Without Xu Wei's methods, Mayi would now be waiting for the Xianbei people to invade.

Thanks to Xu Wei's initiative, he occupied more than half of the desert. The Xianbei and other Hu people on the grassland could not defeat the Thunder God, nor could they grab it. In order to survive, the Hu people on the grassland simply formed groups.

Groups of tribesmen and tribes came to seek refuge with Lei Gong. This year alone, more than 300,000 barbarians have sought refuge with him.

However, Xu Wei still has to accept them, because if you don’t accept them today, they will come to snatch them with swords tomorrow. This has nothing to do with how strong Xu Wei is, because they can no longer survive, and they can live like this

The barbarians who refused to go down were everywhere on the grassland. Through them, the top brass of the Tengjia Army also noticed that natural disasters had become more and more frequent on the grassland in recent years.

It is because of the constant natural disasters that Old Man Wang and the others have become more worried. They cannot save enough food for everyone for a year. No one wants to give up the current food stamp system! Moreover, if they have saved enough food for a year, Old Man Wang and the others only plan to increase it slightly.

Only when everyone's quota is enough to save three years of food will the current food stamp system be completely abandoned!

Old Man Wang smiled and said: "Forget it, let's not talk about it. Those boys said that they will find the most suitable amount of chemical fertilizers. We will just wait for their good news!"

Xu Wei looked at the scene of the wind blowing wheat waves and said with a smile: "These hundreds of thousands of field soldiers are going to the desert soon. I don't know how much hardship they will have to endure in the future. It just so happens that Mayi has a good harvest this time, so we will hold a harvest festival together."

, just take out some good things and treat them to a meal, so that they can have a good memory in the desert!"

Old Man Wang looked at the victims who were like skeletons. They looked much worse than the tribesmen in Mayi. The past two months were not enough to restore their health. Now it can only be said that they are barely able to

alive.

It can be said that this is what Old Man Wang and the others were like before. Old Man Wang thought about it and nodded in agreement.

After purchasing all the grain in Mayi, Mayi began to purchase a large number of pigs and sheep, preparing to celebrate the harvest and improve the food! To reward everyone for their hard work throughout the year.

Old man Wang went to buy sheep, while Xu Wei found Zhou Bangguo, the pig king of Mayi.

"Lao Zhou, how is your pig farm going?"

When Zhou Bangguo saw Xu Wei, he was surprised and said: "With your help, Qushuai, it wouldn't be bad there. Now our pig farm has become the largest pig farm in Bingzhou, with thousands of pigs not counting piglets."

, including tens of thousands of piglets, the entire city of Mayi who wants to raise pigs must buy piglets from me!

There are more than a dozen chicken and duck farms opened, each with more than tens of thousands of chickens and ducks. Thanks to Qu Shuai, you thought of the method of raising earthworms. The chickens, ducks and pigs grew up one by one after eating the earthworm feed.

It's so fast. Now many people are buying earthworms from us and mixing them into feed for cattle and sheep. The cattle and sheep are also getting fatter and stronger. Now our feed factory is the most profitable factory. The whole Bingzhou is under our control.

Buy worm feed here!”

"How many earthworms have you raised? There are so many farms that you can't use them all, and you can still take them out?" Xu Wei was surprised. How long has it been since earthworms have become a breeding production chain?

Zhou Bangguo said with a confident smile: "To say a few, there is only one factory, not far from the pig farm, but to say a lot, there are tens of thousands!"

Xu Wei was surprised and said: "Ten thousand families, how is this possible?"

Zhou Bangguo said with a smile: "We found that earthworms are easy to raise. You can dig a cellar or use a wooden cabinet to raise them at home. In order to facilitate everyone's breeding, every household has raised some earthworms. Then they only need to get some dry cow dung or grass, and the earthworms can be raised at home."

It will grow on its own. The more it eats, the faster it will grow. We receive it from everyone and put it into the feed factory. Then we make it into chicken feed, pig feed, or mix it into the grass to make cattle and sheep feed. With these feeds

Be it chickens, ducks, cattle or sheep, they all grow very fast!

Everyone has found work to do. Now we buy cow dung from the grassland and use the cow dung to raise earthworms. Every family has an earthworm field in their own courtyard. You can make a good profit every day by raising earthworms.

A few hundred dollars, plus the monthly salary and dividends from the breeding farm, now each of us has thousands of dollars, and our lives are much better! These are all thanks to you, Qu Shuai!"

Xu Wei smiled and said: "I just made a start. The current results are the result of your own hard work. You are the real heroes!"
