Li Mengxi didn't come back to the city lord's palace to wait for fish. He ate casually for a while. He felt that it was almost time and the people in the official department should have finished copying the official documents. He put down Kuai Zi and said, "Xuan De Gong, please

You take a walk."

Liu Bei looked over, smiled and asked what was going on.

Li Mengxi then told the story about the Ministry of Personnel, saying that the Ministry of Personnel had already built a partial structure that was far superior to other departments, so he wanted to encourage it to inspire the rest of the people.

After Liu Bei heard this, he was very curious. He was curious, but it hadn't even been half a day since all the officials had taken office. Someone had actually made a meritorious service and deserved to be praised with great fanfare.

Anyway, the banquet was almost over. Liu Bei stood up and said to everyone, "Let's go, you can go with us."

——

In the gentleman's camp, the officials of the various ministries suddenly received an order to reward the officials, and the ministries could go and have a look.

Officials from other ministries were curious as to what kind of deeds Qin Shu and the others had done to deserve a reward.

Soon after, people gathered at the west gate. Seeing that everyone had arrived, Liu Bei told the new officials why he wanted to reward the officials. Then he praised them and gave each of them half a catty of meatballs. Then he encouraged the others.

After talking to each other, Liu Bei pointed to several large pieces of paper posted on the city gate and said to everyone, "Look at the official documents issued by the Ministry of Personnel."

The officials from various ministries gathered around to take a look. They saw that the large paper posted at the city gate was full of things. When they read the content, the officials from various ministries were half puzzled and half understood. What was clear was that they understood it.

What is the content? What is puzzling is that many people think that just writing such a few things counts as merit?

Later, after thinking deeply, many people realized that the sentence written by the official department was not the brainstorming method taught by the military adviser? No wonder the official department was praised, seeing that the official department had already figured out the structure.

From top to bottom, departments, departments, departments, bureaus, and sections are all clearly divided.

The completion of the work of the Ministry of Personnel provides important reference for other departments.

After the rewards were given, Li Mengxi, Liu Bei and others had gone back, leaving the new officials still where they were.

Someone approached Qin Shu, smiled and asked Qin Shu to give some advice.

This was a semi-ridiculous remark, but Qin Shu nodded seriously. He said to the Ministry of Justice officials in front of him and other officials around him, "I also have this intention. The military advisor said that the training of officials also belongs to our personnel department. Everyone

If you have time, come to my official department, there are some things I need to talk about."

As the person at the top of the list, Qin Shu was the most popular person among the hundred officials. Especially with this official reward, Qin Shu's popularity was even higher than ever before.

Along with Qin Shu, everyone returned to the camp.

There were so many people that it was inconvenient to enter the tent, so Qin Shu explained the truth seriously to a group of fellow officials in the open space.

As Qin Shu spoke, the officials listened thoughtfully and nodded repeatedly.

Soon, the sky became dark, and Qin Shu said to the officials, "If you don't understand something in the future, you can come to my staff and ask. Although we are officials, we still have the responsibility to make sure we don't make mistakes."

, it won’t go wrong, right?”

What Qin Shu said makes sense. If you are not an official, you will not be in trouble. But if you are an official, you have to be cautious.

——

It was night in the city lord's mansion. There were no outsiders in the main hall, only Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Jian Yong, and Li Mengxi, plus a little brick who didn't know anything and asked Li Mengxi to kidnap the villain.

Li Mengxi didn't know how to tie up a villain. He tied the hemp rope around for a long time and tied up a lot of knots, but he still couldn't tie him up.

With nothing to do, Li Mengxi had no choice but to hand the hemp rope to Xiao Bian and ask Xiao Bian to ask Liu Bei for help. Liu Bei was a master at knitting shoes and playing with ropes.

Xiao Brick went over to ask Liu Bei for help. Liu Bei put Xiao Brick in his arms and put him on his lap. He held Xiao Brick in his arms and wrapped the hemp rope around him and quickly knitted it.

By tonight, I have been completely busy with the imperial examination.

Li Mengxi patted the mud on his clothes from the small bricks, raised his head, and said to Liu Bei and Guan Yu Jianyong, "It's the imperial examination. Today is February 14th, and it's already late.

Tomorrow, we have to send people to work in the fields as soon as possible."

Liu Bei moved his fingers nimbly, and a straw rope had braided a small head and half a chest in the blink of an eye. The little brick stayed in Liu Bei's arms, staring motionless.

After listening to Li Mengxi talk about farming, Liu Bei nodded and looked at Li Mengxi, "Well, we will leave tomorrow."

"But, I have several concerns, and I don't know how to explain them." Li Mengxi frowned and said.

Everyone except Xiao Zhuan, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Jian Yong looked over.

Li Mengxi organized his words and said, "First, one winter day last year, a certain company sent a large number of manpower to investigate the land. After more than a month of investigation, it was found that there are 20 million acres of land in Julu County."

As he said that, Li Mengxi looked at Liu Bei uncertainly, then at Guan Yu and Jian Yong. He asked, "Julu County really has so much land. This county has 20 million acres of land.

Is this accurate, is it too much, or is it too little?”

On the side, Jian Yong thought for a moment after hearing the words, and then said, "It's almost the same. Julu is a large county. One county has 30% of Jizhou, and 20 million acres, which is roughly the same."

If you ask this first question clearly, Julu really has tens of millions of acres of land.

Jian Yong said that the giant deer was one-third the size of Jizhou. Li Mengxi was surprised, could the giant deer be so big? It was one-third the size of Jizhou.

For the second question, Li Mengxi looked at the crowd and frowned, "The army has built many curved shaft plows. With these plows, people can plow the land without the need for animals."

However, no matter how convenient the curved-wheel plow is, it can only plow more than two acres of land in one day, and the time is limited. In one farming season, the free time is at most half a month, that is, one plow can plow 30 acres.

land.

But when we go to farm, one person has to divide the land as much as two hundred acres..."

Liu Bei heard that Li Mengxi allocated two hundred acres of land to one person. Liu Bei, who was making up a villain, immediately raised his head and looked at Li Mengxi in surprise, "Two hundred acres? So much?

Faced with Liu Bei's doubts, Li Mengxi explained why, "Yes, two hundred acres. Julu has 20 million acres of land, and our army's manpower for farming has been reduced to only 100,000. Therefore, one person has to control 200 acres of land."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! To be more serious, the reason why our army chose Julu as a foothold is because the powerful and powerful Julu are dead and scattered, leaving no official government and a vacancy in power? For this reason,

Even if the land is deserted this year and no more crops will be planted, and even if all the food is bought, we still have to occupy all the land first.

Otherwise, when time passes, the refugees flee and the officials return, the advantage the giant deer has over me will be gone in an instant.

Time waits for us not to wait!”

As mentioned, the political purpose of farming is more important. The political purpose is to get the land into hands as quickly as possible, no matter what, even if the land cannot be planted, or even if the land is abandoned.

"This is the difficulty. Our army has no supply of food and grass. Rushing to plant one season can greatly relieve the food and grass crisis. It would be a pity to leave the land uncultivated. But if we plant it, there will not be enough plows, we will not be able to plow it, and we will not be able to plant it all...

…”

Liu Bei thought for a while and said aloud, "Two hundred acres can be planted if you want, just barely."

Li Mengxi was surprised, "...how to say?"

Li Mengxi didn't understand. There were not enough manpower, not enough plows, and not enough time. How could one person plant as much as two hundred acres? Is there an average of livestock per capita?

Regarding Li Mengxi's doubts, Liu Bei explained, "Actually, Xi'er, it's best to plow the land and then plant it. But if you don't plow the land, the crops won't grow much, but it won't return well, and you can still see some grain."

."

"Besides, the replanting is peas. The peas have deep roots and the ground is not plowed. Just dig a hole and throw in a few beans to see if they germinate and grow."

Li Mengxi suddenly understood. He remembered that primitive people did not have plows, but primitive people could also cultivate land. Primitive people cultivated land through slash and burn. They did not even need to plow. They still cultivated the land and harvested grain.

So if you really can't cultivate it, just sow it all over the ground. Just throw the seeds all over the ground and plant two hundred acres by one person. It seems to be possible. Although the output of extensive operation is lower, it doesn't matter. It is to rush for seeds.

It's enough to slow down for a while and regain your strength.

Another problem solved.

Li Mengxi gained insight again. He now understood that it was possible to cultivate land without plowing, and that it was possible to cultivate land without plowing.

After that, there is the last and most difficult question left, because this question involves the most troublesome people - people.

Li Mengxi said to Liu Bei and others, "If Julu really only has hundreds of thousands of soldiers left in our army, and the place is empty, it would be okay. We can just go down and collect the land."

But in Julu countryside, there are still many people, and the difficulty lies here. If the field teams are sent out to work in the fields, it will be difficult to control the people when they disperse, and any kind of trouble may happen.

Therefore, before Duke Xuande returned, I originally wanted to take a small team to the farmland to see how much trouble there would be, so that I could come up with countermeasures to reach the entire army and avoid conflicts with the villagers.

However, even if you think carefully, people are confused and things are chaotic, and you may encounter something. We are going to farm and divide the land, not to be bandits. The people of Julu Countryside also have me at hand to help. There must be no conflict.

.

When it comes to farming, if you do it slowly and steadily, you can avoid conflicts, but the best opportunity to control the giant deer will pass away; if you do it urgently, if you move thousands of people around, you can avoid missing the opportunity, but this will inevitably lead to the loss of the opportunity.

There is a conflict among the villagers. What is the solution to this dilemma?"

Li Mengxi couldn't think of a countermeasure, so he raised the problem. When the problem was raised, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Jian Yong and the others were also stumped.

At night, Li Mengxi and others discussed countermeasures for a long time, and the discussion continued late into the night.
