The second day of July.

Counting the time in detail, it has been nearly three months since Li Mengxi unexpectedly arrived at the end of Han Dynasty.

In the past three months, it seems that I have done nothing, and at the same time, I seem to have done a lot of things.

However, he first escaped from the rebel army with his young brother, and then deliberately stopped by the road. When Liu Bei's rebel army passed by, he took the initiative to get to know Guan Yu, and then took the opportunity to join the rebel army.

Later, when he met Liu Xuande for the first time in the army, he made up an identity at random, and started talking loudly about the power of the world. As a result, his words were astonishing, and he defeated Liu, Guan, and Zhang. As a result, he was sentenced to death under the age of ten.

Liu Bei paid homage to the military commander.

Later, I saw the Yellow Turban prisoners in the army were all mixed up, so I suddenly decided to go to the prisoner camp to see what was going on. I happened to encounter gangsters who bullied women in the prison camp, encountered babies who were seriously ill, and saw Yellow Turban prisoners everywhere.

Yes, a look of hatred.

After careful consideration, Li Mengxi submitted three plans for the placement of the captives to Liu Bei, and that night, he tried to make distilled wine for the first time in order to treat the baby.

Halfway back to Zhuozhou, he also suggested that Liu Xuande distribute food to the captives. Those who are willing to join the rebel army should forget about past mistakes. Those who are willing to return home should be given half a month's food.

This single strategy will win over all the captives.

When I returned to Zhuozhou, the Yellow Turbans in the four territories were not yet cleared, and there were two methods of recruitment, care, expropriation, and collection.

For the sake of the people, Li Mengxi urged Liu Bei to recruit the Yellow Turbans as much as possible. After all, the Yellow Turban refugees were mostly poor people.

But since then, to appease the Yellow Turbans, more food and grass will be needed. Where will the food come from?

In order to solve this problem, Li Mengxi thought of using the power of the government to collect food from wealthy households.

But he was unprepared and was almost deceived by the county magistrate. Fortunately, Liu Xuande gave him some advice, so he took advantage of the plan. After the county magistrate posted a list to collect grain, he seized the food from the powerful and recruited food, and there was no shortage of it immediately.

The more important point is that Li Mengxi perfected the strategy of appeasement almost by himself. He sent out his cavalry and Guan Yu's troops to recruit the good people while conquering the stubborn enemies.

In the end, the number of Yellow Turban refugees recruited by a mere thirty or twenty rangers was almost as many as the prisoners captured by Guan Yu from various places attacking mountains and strongholds.

As for the details of the recruitment process, it was almost entirely arranged by Li Mengxi alone.

There are more than 20 porridge sheds, which can serve up to several thousand people per day.

Considering that the refugees might be short of bowls, hundreds of bowls were prepared in advance.

Not to mention that we didn’t realize until we were dividing the porridge that we had to add water to cool down the hot porridge, divide the porridge according to the head, and keep an eye on it to prevent anyone from encroaching on the rations of women and children. These details were all observed and discovered by Li Mengxi in practice.

of.

Then they spread quicklime all over the ground for fear of spreading the plague; they specially summoned the medical officers and lined up in a row to treat the refugees; then they rushed to the river to take a bath, and after washing, a fire was set up on the river beach to bake clothes, and various arrangements were made to prevent the plague from spreading.

The possibility of an outbreak has been reduced to a very low level.

In fact, when the hungry refugees came to the city of Zhuozhou, they all drank warm porridge that was neither cold nor hot, and then were treated by medical officers one by one. From that time on, Liu Bei had already done everything for the refugees.

heart of.

By the way, I won’t mention the little trick of deliberately letting the Yellow Turban spies get closer without disturbing me.

The past month has been busy, with more than 20,000 refugees being cared for. How to resettle the refugees has become an urgent matter.

Li Mengxi proposed the policy of farming.

When preparing to farm, it was discovered that hoes, houses, cooking utensils and other items were all in short supply.

Li Mengxi then tried his best to facilitate the start of the kiln to make pottery, purchase hoes from everywhere, and sent out rangers to explore possible farming sites, among other matters.

This was occasionally mixed with other things. For example, Li Mengxi commissioned craftsmen to make several sets of evaporators, improved them several times, and improved as he went. Finally, he trial-produced a set of usable evaporators.

As for the method of numbering the fields one by one that Li Mengxi thought of a few days ago, as well as the Gui Gushen arithmetic derived from it, and teaching the arithmetic method to Liu, Guan, and Zhang, these are trivial matters that are not worth mentioning.

.

Let's see, Li Mengxi has done so many things without knowing it. Since meeting Li Mengxi, Li Mengxi's figure can be seen in everything Liu Bei's rebel army did.

To be more precise, the overall strategic direction was formulated by Li Mengxi, and the specific details were perfected by Li Mengxi.

Why can't such a resourceful and resourceful person who is helpful in all matters big and small not be appointed as a military advisor?

Who dares to say that he is not worthy?

On July 2nd, the great cause of farming began with great vigor.

Early in the morning, the refugees who were going out to work in the fields had a hearty meal. Liu Bei even deliberately killed two fat pigs the day before to reward the peasants and make them strong.

After having enough food and food, there were groups of 100, 200, or 300 refugees, each carrying a small pottery urn on their backs and two pairs of straw sandals made of wheat straw, each carrying a

Half a bag of food was enough for a month, and each of them held a hoe in his hand. Following the rangers, they filed out of Zhang Fei's manor and out of a shabby shed made of tattered branches.

Someone in Zhuozhou City saw a long line of people carrying hoes, walking southeast, northwest, and they didn't know what they were going for.

As soon as the field work officially started, everyone was mobilized.

One day, more than 8,000 people were sent out at once.

Because enough supplies had been prepared, and because the cavalry had already explored the barren mountains and ridges where farming could be done, and figured out the direction, everything was ready, and all that was needed was success.

Guan Yu was responsible for leading the refugees to various places to farm. Guan Yu was responsible for the related matters.

In the manor, under the pavilion, Li Mengxi and Liu Xuande were talking about something at the stone table.

I saw Li Mengxi holding a pen in his hand and a large piece of paper in front of him, talking and writing at the same time.

I saw him sometimes frowning, sometimes stopping to ask questions, looking like he was engaged.

After a long time, Li Mengxi stopped writing and dried the ink.

"Okay, the whole strategy for farming has been completed."

Li Mengxi finished sorting out the strategies for farming that he had thought of during this period.

Liu Bei looked over and saw that the paper was full of words written on it.

——

The law of farming involves land selection, settlement, management, farming and other matters.

The first priority for farming is land selection.

Selection of land: The land for farming should be broad and round, not too big or too narrow.

It is better to have a hundred people working in the field and cultivating a hundred acres of land.

First, when I went to work in the fields, in order to avoid disputes with the locals, I only looked for unowned land such as deserted beaches and wild valleys, which are called deserted beaches and wild valleys. They must be remote places. They are more than a hundred miles away and are difficult to find.

The second is that the land is narrow, with more than a dozen acres or dozens of acres. Although it is large, the land is small, so there must be fewer people to farm. In one farm area, more than a hundred people cannot protect themselves.

Therefore, the place for farming must be a land that can cultivate hundreds of acres and build hundreds of ding.

Moreover, houses can be built anywhere for daily needs, but water is inconvenient.

If a well is dug, firstly, it will be difficult to find the water veins, and secondly, digging the well will take a long time.

Therefore, the place for farming must be chosen near water, either by a river, by a lake, or by a stream.

The second strategy for farming is to store things.

The necessities for farming include hoe, pottery urn, land ruler, boundary bricks, house, mattress, and firewood.

Plowing hoe: I have been looking for a plowing hoe for more than a month, and one person has enough.
