With his beautiful wife embracing him in his arms, Si Yuan felt peaceful in his heart.
Quietly think about the many plans and plans for the future.
"In this era, the yield of crops in the Central Plains is not very high, and the grain reserves are limited."
"In addition to the frequent wars between various vassal states, there are also natural disasters that often break out. If you don't have enough food in hand, it is very easy to die on a large scale."
"In the agricultural era, population was the greatest resource."
He naturally knows it in his heart.
The reason why the Qin State in the West was able to soar into the sky was that it swept across Chu, Zhao, South Korea, Wei, Yan, Qi, Wei, Lu and Zhongshan in just ten years.
The natural super-large granary formed by Zhengguo Canal plays a decisive role in it.
"Having enough food is the core key to exploding troops."
"In today's era, for the vassal states in the north, wheat, which has a relatively low yield, is not the main food crop."
"It is more common in the cultivation of other high-yielding cereals and grains."
"In my fiefdom, ordinary civilians need ordinary food to live. The 50,000 shields and armor of Wei Anhou's private army are trained and cultivated, and they need a lot of nourishing qi and blood and nourishing medicinal materials for dark wounds."
"These matters must be dealt with as soon as possible without any delay."
Si Yuan thought for a moment.
Start to carefully recall the various crops in nature.
"Potatoes are native to the Andes Mountains of South America; corn, native to Central and South America; sweet potatoes, native to South America and the Greater and Lesser Antilles."
"These three high-quality grain crop seeds with high yield, short growth cycle, and strong resistance to abnormal growth environments must be obtained as soon as possible."
"When the time comes, it can become one of my tools to help me hype up and package the living saints with double pupils."
"It can also become a response capital for the subsequent large-scale drought outbreak."
Although he didn't know much about the entire history of the Warring States Period.
But he remembered it clearly.
In this era, droughts, floods, and locust plagues occurred with extremely high frequency, as well as meteors flying across the sky and meteorites falling.
"I need to prepare early to avoid trouble in my fief due to disaster refugees."
"Death puppet, you can still use it like this..."
Si Yuan gently closed his eyes and fell into a false slumber.
…
…
It didn't take long.
The sky is getting brighter and the sun is rising.
Si Yuan got up from the bed, was served by the beautiful maid, dressed neatly, washed up, and left Suiyang Palace.
The exhausted Princess Suiyang was left alone, still sleeping soundly.
Come to the dining hall.
While Si Yuan was enjoying the delicious food, he ordered the foreign manager Hei Feng to be summoned.
After a while, Heifeng hurriedly came to him, bowed to the Marquis of Wei An, bowed respectfully, and said, "My subordinate, Heifeng, would like to pay my respects to the Marquis."
"Send an order to those businessmen to catch the fastest flying bird for me as quickly as possible. I want it alive, not a chick."
"I obey my orders!"
Black Wind bowed again and saluted, then slowly retreated outwards.
…
…
Several hours passed by in an instant.
In the back garden of Wei Anhou.
Si Yuan accompanied his sister Yu Ji and taught her how to practice internal strength.
Soon, the foreign manager Hei Feng personally carried an iron birdcage and hurried to Si Yuan, holding the birdcage in his hands.
"Master Hou, this is the bird you want."
"Put the things on the stone table in the pavilion." Si Yuan casually ordered, and continued to carefully observe Yuji's inner strength practice, after confirming that the little girl really entered safely.
He then waved all the maids and guards around him to retreat.
Go inside the pavilion, open the birdcage, grab the adult peregrine falcon trapped inside, and crush its skull with two fingers.
Summon the furnace of life and death at will.
Open the furnace lid, throw the Peregrine Falcon body into the Yin Furnace, and use your spiritual thoughts to initiate the form-seizing smelting.
The cold and strange light flashed away quickly.
An intact dead puppet body of the Peregrine Falcon was released. Si Yuan quickly refined it, separated a ray of spiritual thought into the form-seizing curse seal, and controlled it remotely.
next moment.
The peregrine falcon in his hand seemed like a ghostly phantom, rising into the sky in an instant.
Under the blessing of the secret technique of flapping wings, its flight speed directly entered the silent supersonic state, with a clear direction, heading straight towards South America on the other side of the ocean.
Finish handling these things.
Si Yuan turned to look at Yu Ji, who was practicing her internal skills conscientiously and obediently. She was always monitoring her practice progress with her spiritual thoughts to ensure that no accidents would happen to beginners.
In my mind, I was still distracted and thinking about things.
"Most of the medicinal materials in this era are wild, and very few are artificially cultivated."
"Although wild medicinal materials have extremely high efficacy and quality, their quantity is too scarce. While artificially cultivated medicinal materials have poor efficacy and quality, their quantity is sufficient."
"If all the 50,000 private troops of Marquis Wei An under my command practice the Hundred Refinements of Shield and Armor, they will definitely consume a lot of medicinal materials and refined meat."
"Even though there are divine power and secret techniques to improve the qualifications of external muscles and bones, and the secret techniques of ablation can greatly improve resource utilization, they cannot support the large number of people in demand."
"Besides, this is just a private army of 50,000 in my own name."
"Princess Suiyang also has thirty thousand private troops under her name. After she marries me, her fiefdom, her private troops, etc. will all be transferred to my control."
"It's equivalent to me having 80,000 regular private troops and two fiefdoms."
"If we train all of them into Wei soldiers, it would be such a huge consumption of resources..."
After a rough estimate, Si Yuan was secretly frightened.
This only takes into account some problems with medicinal materials, and does not take into account the supplementary needs of Wei soldiers' armament resources in terms of meat.
The living needs of ordinary civilians and common people in the fiefdom have not been considered.
“In this era, almost all of the meat obtained was from hunting wild beasts.”
"If you want to engage in large-scale artificial breeding, there is still a lack of feed and grain feeding, so it is impossible to do it. Small-scale scattered breeding is nothing more than a drop in the bucket."
"Potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn are the driving force behind all my plans."
It's just the development of private fiefdoms, and resources are so tight.
It can be seen that if you want to develop a huge vassal state, how much resource allocation and training is needed. Without resources, everything is a castle in the air.
"It's really not easy to be the king of a country." Si Yuan shook his head secretly, but he had his own solution.
It just takes some time to realize it.
"The Qin State built the Zhengguo Canal, a water conservancy project, which took about ten years to complete."
"This period of time is also the time for my farming development. Build high walls, accumulate grain widely, and strengthen the power and organization under my command."
"Only with the power and fists in my hands can I have the right to speak."
"Quietly watch the changes in the world, sit back and watch the rise and fall of various countries."
