When leaving the Baihu Farming Station in Yanggu County, Li Mengxi looked back at the entire farming base on horseback. The round thatched houses and the walls made of branches suddenly reminded Li Mengxi of the half-century story in the history textbook. Poe's illustrations of scenes from primitive man's life.

Today's campers look very much like primitive people. They all have straw huts, branches and fences, and their cooking utensils are all made of pottery instead of iron.

The mode of production in farming is mainly livestock and pheasant. Only by raising chickens, ducks, geese, and sheep and geese can you see the harvest. If you cultivate the fields for a while, you will not get any harvest at all.

The lifestyle of the campers is very similar to that of primitive people. They collect things like branches, wheat straw, hay, pig grass, and grass that can feed sheep everywhere.

In the feudal era, people lived according to the lifestyle of primitive people. In other words, the living standards of these resettled people were far behind the living standards of ordinary people.

The seventy-two settlements were all similar. It took three days to see the seven settlements in Yanggu County. Li Mengxi didn't want to see the rest.

Once you take a look at it, it will take a long time.

Head back to Zhuozhou.

In short, everything about farming is done properly, which makes people feel extremely reassured and confident.

Speaking of which, from a concept to a mature and complete process, it is really not Li Mengxi’s credit.

For example, the idea of ​​letting the refugees raise chickens and ducks was proposed by Liu Xuande.

The scene was like this.

The farmland was finally settled, and Li Mengxi asked excitedly, "Xuan Degong, when will the reclaimed land be able to harvest food?"

Liu Bei thought seriously for a long time and said, "Two years."

"Ah?" Li Mengxi was surprised at that time. After two years of opening up wasteland, he couldn't harvest food. "What should I do?"

"How about raising some chickens and ducks? The land can't grow crops, so if you raise some livestock, you can see something, right?" Liu Bei suggested.

Liu Bei's family is rich in experience. Farming and raising chickens are two separate things.

Because of Liu Bei's reminder, he later added loans to the villagers to raise poultry and livestock.

This measure immediately made the somewhat useless farming strategy of only importing but not producing output become ten times more cost-effective.

Why?

Because, if there is no such thing as livestock, the income from each farm will continue to provide food.

And seventy farming sites, equivalent to seventy-two collection areas, can even dig earthworms to raise chickens, collect firewood, make fires for cooking, and get some pig grass to feed pigs.

The radius of movement of people is limited, and if the refugees are all concentrated in Zhang Fei's manor, then people will not be able to collect firewood even if they are kept in a radius of several miles.

There is zero output in the initial stage of farming, but after adding livestock at the same time, output can be achieved immediately, alleviating the pressure on finance, food and other aspects.

The improvement of the detailed rules for farming is also due to Guan Yu.

Regarding the management of armaments, every hundred men in each camp were given twenty spears, five bows, and one hundred arrows. This was for the campers to guard against wild beasts and to protect themselves.

Forget about spears, but bows and crossbows are life-threatening weapons. Therefore, each centurion must strictly manage the bows and crossbows.

It's Julu, Julu... that's right!

Isn't this the same giant deer where Xiang Yu destroyed the cauldron and destroyed the Qin army?

Inspiration strikes.

Li Mengxi was very calm. He glanced at Guan Yu, raised his head and asked, "General Guan, is the giant deer in Jizhou the same giant deer that King Xiang Yu of Chu used to destroy the cauldron and sink the boat?"

"Exactly!" Guan Yu replied, brushing his beard.

"So, this is why it is predicted that the place where the Yellow Turbans will fight the army will be a giant deer."

"What should I say? In order to build a place for a decisive battle in ancient times, there must first be a situation capable of a decisive battle, which can facilitate the deployment of troops, facilitate the confrontation of generals, and have no hindrance. The winner can advance bravely to pursue and kill, but the loser cannot take advantage of the dangers of mountains, rivers, cities, and rivers.

And if you run away calmly, you can't come back again.

In this terrain, if one side wins a great victory, the other will suffer a great defeat, so it is a decisive place, so a decisive battle can take place.

This is when military warfare is dominated by favorable geographical conditions."

"In the past, there was an overlord who defeated the Qin army in Julu. There was a certain war that was different from ancient times. I don't know how many battles there were in Julu.

However, there are precedents to follow. I predict that there is a possibility of a big battle in Julu, far better than elsewhere.

What does General Guan think?"
