When the farm is far away, stability is the first priority.

Whether one is stable or not does not depend on whether the house is warm or cold, or whether there are mosquitoes, snakes, and ants, but only on the food rations.

If everyone eats from the same stove and the food is unevenly distributed, and the stronger ones bully the weaker ones, conflicts will inevitably arise.

At that time, fights and fires broke out, and a farmstead property was wiped out in an instant.

Therefore, small urns are distributed, and each urn is enough for one person's daily eclipse. The urn is small and can save firewood, which is the best of both worlds.

That is to say, each soldier in the camp has his own food, and there should be no conflict when sharing the food, so the camp is stable.

Ground ruler: The ground ruler is only used for initial measurement of the land. It does not need to be kept on a regular basis. It is enough to carry a ruler at one place.

Boundary Bricks: Because the fields are often barren and unmarked, and there is no eye-catching identification, the plots of land may be initially divided, but they may be forgotten during the day of the settlement, and the land can no longer be identified.

Therefore, the acres of land were immediately divided. Boundary bricks were placed at the edge of the land as boundaries, and numbers were written on them. Then a piece of bamboo was ordered to be taken, and the numbers were written on them.

The numbering of bamboo and bricks is the same, and people are connected with the earth, so there should be no confusion.

House: Building a house is the most important thing for farming. It is difficult to build an embryo house, but it is easy to build a thatched house.

Whenever you come to a farming area, you can send people out to collect branches, bamboo poles and other materials, and then go to the villagers nearby to buy wheat straw, thatch, etc., and the thatched house can be built in less than three days.

The clay embryos were then divided into several molds and left in the field. During the free time, the clay embryos were used to build walls and houses. After a few months, in winter, the mud houses were fully completed.

Bed: Mattress and quilt, it is difficult to get together in a hurry.

The villagers can be asked to weave straw into manuscripts and cover it with straw to make quilts, which is enough to keep out the winter cold.

The third strategy for farming is law and discipline.

Five Principles of Military Law for Settlement and Reclamation.

1. The campers go out to farm during the day and return to camp at dusk. They are not allowed to leave lightly.

2. The farmland is scattered in the countryside, with villages on the left and right. The villagers are xenophobic, so be careful. We should interact with them on weekdays and do not conflict with them.

Third, the people in the camp must not bully each other.

Fourth, fasting and drinking water.

Five, use fire with caution.

Five items in total.

The fourth strategy for farming is control.

Among the brave men from the countryside, capable corps commanders were selected and promoted to centurions, serving as officials in charge of the various farms.

Furthermore, for food supplies, separate manpower was set up to go from Zhuozhou City to various farming stations, and supplies were made once a month.

Salt and other supplies are supplied on a monthly basis.

The fifth policy of farming is garrison.

One is to garrison oneself. In each camp, a hundred men are equipped with twenty spears, five bows, and one hundred arrows, enough to frighten wolves, ferocious beasts, and anyone who looks at them.

The second is patrolling. Recruiting three hundred young and strong men as soldiers, preparing battle formations, teaching them tactics, equipped with armor, spears, bows and crossbows, and stricter military discipline.

After that, the patrolling soldiers of this unit went to various places to show their momentum. When people saw our hundreds of soldiers, they would not dare to bully each other, so the farmland was safe and undisturbed.

The sixth policy of farming is to prevent epidemics.

If there is no medical treatment or medicine in the farming areas, medical officers can be sent to carry out regular treatment with medicines, so as to prevent the rural residents from getting sick without medical treatment and preventing epidemics.

The seventh policy of farming is sideline business such as livestock, fish and hunting.

Farming is not a one-time effort, and it is difficult to see a harvest within a year and a half.

As for the cultivated land, the average person is only three to five acres, which can be cultivated in more than a month, leaving the rest with nothing to do.

You can go to the nearby villages to buy chickens, ducks, sheep, geese and other livestock, loan them to the villagers, and collect them back at an appointed time.

Or loan one chicken and pay back 100 eggs, or loan one chicken and pay back two chickens, and so on.

Firstly, manpower can be put to better use; secondly, the men in the camp can get eggs and meat to supplement their supplies; thirdly, if our army lends one chicken, it can get two chickens, which is a way to make money and can also make up for the shortage of military rations.

These seven strategies are carefully prepared for farming.

I'll record it again when I have more information.

complete.

——

It is written eloquently, with more than a dozen pieces of paper, nearly a thousand eloquent articles, seven strategies, and everything is in the header.

Liu Bei read the Detailed Strategies for Farming written by Li Mengxi several times from beginning to end, smiling and nodding his head as he read it.

No matter how big or small, everything is included.

With this detailed strategy for farming, there is no need to worry about farming!

At this point, the farming strategy was considered complete.

Farming is simple to say, but it can also be very simple to put it into practice.

The simplest thing is to distribute some food to one person and send him to work in the fields, and you can control his life or death.

Houses and other matters are left to the people to take care of themselves.

This way we can also farm.

However, the campers had nothing to cook or make a fire, so they could only chew dry food. Within a few days, some people would suffer from stomachache and the number would be reduced.

Furthermore, the Yellow Turban refugees are much wilder than ordinary people. Among other things, the Yellow Turbans have seen a lot of life and death, and many of them have even killed others, so they have long been indifferent to life and death.

If there is no strict restraint, the villagers will go out to steal the chickens of fellow villagers, or provoke the young ladies passing by, which will anger the local people. They have a large number of people, and the farmland will be ruined in an instant.

It's just that the farm station is gone. If the army of the farm station is strong and the bullied people dare to be angry but dare not speak out, it will be troublesome.

Because of the farming, people everywhere were disturbed by chickens and dogs. Well, since then, Liu Xuande's reputation has been completely ruined.

He only won the support of tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans, but if in exchange for the farming incident, hundreds of thousands of people from all over Zhuojun pointed their noses at Liu Bei, it would be too much of a loss.

If the field management is extensive and discipline is not strictly enforced, such problems will inevitably occur.

In the same way, if medical officers are not dispatched to patrol around the village at all times, there will be no place to treat the residents when they get sick, and people will die every month.

And what does manpower mean? One manpower can reclaim three acres of wasteland into three acres of fine soil.

Or, in your spare time, you can herd three or four sheep.

Manpower is precious and cannot be wasted.

Farming is simple, but there are also differences between farming and farming, the difference between the lower limit and the upper limit, the difference between heaven and earth.

The farmland policy that Li Mengxi, Liu Guan and Zhang had just completed after several days of negotiation was the key to the healthy development of the farmland issue.

Farming is just a good idea.

However, the Seven Strategies of Tuntian, which have accumulated the opinions of the masses and matured the wisdom of the masses, can truly be regarded as an important tool for the country.

——

Throughout July, the rebels were busy working in the fields.

On the 20th, Guan Yu returned with nearly 8,000 troops and 72 separate camps.

The banner with the word "Liu" representing Liu Bei's Yijun has been planted in 11 counties in Zhuojun.

Liu Bei was not at ease, and Li Mengxi was not at ease either, so they all worked together to inspect the various farming bases before talking about it.

More than a dozen people rode fast horses out of Zhuozhou, to the south of Zhuozhou, to Yanggu County.

There are seven farming areas in Yanggu County.

Liu, Guan, and Zhang took Li Mengxi to the first place.

I saw a large lake, with villages in the east and swamps in the west. Behind the swamp, there was a large open field of wild grass.

A big flag with Liu characters flying high, the campers built simple thatched houses made of wheat straw, small and short.

When they arrived, they were greeted by centurions assigned by the local area, wearing armor, carrying bows on their backs, and holding spears.

This man was the commander-in-chief who had been promoted due to his merit when he accompanied Guan Yu to conquer the remnants of the Yellow Turbans. Because there was a shortage of people to manage the farmland, he was appointed as the centurion here.

In fact, farming refers to militarized farming and must be managed using military means.

The campers picked up small branches and surrounded the camp, like a small wall, separating the village from the outside space.
