"Good news! Good news! Liu Taishou led his army to attack Qiangyin County, killed more than 11,000 Xianbei cavalry, killed the leader of the Xianbei Yilan tribe, and restored Qiangyin County!"

One after another, the messengers were running and howling in the major counties in Yanmen, as well as the Lu County, Fenyang County, Yun County, Yangqu County, Langdiao County and other places under Liu He's actual control.

The counties under Liu He ruled, plus the newly recovered Pingcheng County and Qiangyin County, totaling 19 county towns. Today, the people have exceeded 600,000, accounting for more than 70% of the actual controlled population of Bingzhou.

For a moment, most of the more than 600,000 people were all happy, and many even cried with joy.

Between the fields, on the streets and in the restaurants, everyone was talking about this matter happily.

"I didn't expect how long it took for Lord Liu to go to the Northern Expedition. It only took more than half a month since he left Yinguan City. I didn't expect that the two counties would be recovered so quickly, and my Yanmen County would be restored to complete again."

"Good, in my life, except for the two times of getting married and becoming a father, I am the happiest today. Let's go and drink!"

"A new wine has been released in the Zuiyun Tower in the east of the city. It is said that it is brewed specifically from grain transported from Youzhou. Let's drink a few drinks!"

"You go and drink, I won't join in the fun. Lord Liu worked so hard that we can't leave. Although there is not much wasteland, the government issued another notice saying that forest land is not allowed to be cut down randomly and cultivated mountains. Then we will dig a few more ditches, dig more land, remove weeds, and harvest more food in the future. If Lord Liu's army needs it, we can also provide real things to support it!"

"Well, you're right, I'll go too!"

"I don't farm, but I am a Shangshang from Yanzhou. Pingcheng and Qiangyin counties are good. I am going to mobilize some supplies to go there. Even if I lose money, I will help Lord Liu and my compatriots there!"

"Okay! Who said that we businessmen are born with low-key business? We are also passionate and strong, I support you. This time we ship the goods, I will count it as a copy!"

This situation occurs in every place in these nineteen counties.

Soon, this situation spreads further, and in other counties, counties, and even states, such enthusiasm is spread, but the further away the mood is, the lower the mood.

The root of all this, or the initiator, was on the city wall of Qiangyin County, looking at the water siege not far from the northwest side.

Yanze, in Liu He's previous life, was called Daihai. It was an important saltwater lake in the north. Its area is not small, as big as 14 or 5 West Lakes.

Although saltwater lakes cannot be as lush and densely covered with forests like freshwater lakes, they are not lifeless.

Liu He could see clearly when he stood on the city wall. Around the salt lake, there were lush grass and trees, and there were herds of cattle, sheep and horses on it, either lowering his head to eat grass or running around, full of vitality.

Although there are also continuous small hills around Yanze, there are still large grasslands in the middle. Even those hillsides, due to the low height and steep hillsides, there are still many cattle and sheep who will run to the hillside to find food.

Not only near Yanze, but even around Qiangyin County, even to the southeast, to Pingcheng County, within a radius of hundreds of miles, it can be called a grassland area.

"Brother, what are you thinking?"

Liu He was awakened from his thoughts and looked over. It turned out that Zhang Yong and Cui Jun were on the city wall.

"So it was Mingwei and Zhouping. I was watching. If all this vast grassland is reclaimed into fields, is it good or bad?"

Zhang Yong was stunned and smiled and said, "Haha, brother, the people of Qiangyin County have always focused on farming, with grazing and animal husbandry as supplements. There is nothing wrong with it."

Liu He shook his head.

"I thought so before, or it should be said that I never considered this issue before, but I just felt that everything was the same as before, so I could not worry about it. But now when I see this scene in front of me, I feel that I shouldn't have done this."

"Oh? That brother thought how should Qiangyin County develop in the future?"

Zhang Yong asked curiously.

Liu He did not answer directly, but instead asked Cui Jun.

"What do the military advisor think?"

Cui Jun smiled and said, "The lord actually has the answer in his heart, right?"

Liu He laughed: "Haha, the one who knows me is the military advisor."

Zhang Yong was not stupid either. After looking at the reactions of the two, he quickly understood.

"Could it be that my elder brother wants to raise livestock here?"

Liu He looked firm and said, "Yes. Although I am not proficient in agriculture, I am far inferior to Daojun's brother and Mr. Zhan Qingyuan. But I also know that the salt lake is full of salt, and the surrounding soil must be the same. Some plants can adapt to this soil, but the grain is not good."

Cui Jun also expressed his affirmation: "Yes, Qiangyin County has always been the poorest county in Yanmen. In addition to being too close to the Xianbei, it also has a great relationship with the soil quality."

"I understand that if you can grow plants and trees, you can naturally grazing, but if you use them for cultivation, the yield is very low. It is naturally clear which one is better or worse."

Zhang Yong quickly figured out this point.

But then he frowned again.

"But my great man has always been mainly engaged in farming. It is okay to raise pigs at home and raise a few chickens and ducks. It is not our strength to raise livestock on such a large scale. The Xianbei people are good at it, but they can leave it to them, not to mention whether they are completely credible, this language communication is a big problem. After all, those ordinary Xianbei people do not speak Chinese."

Cui Jun laughed.

"How come my big man is not a good person at herding? It's far away and close to you."

Zhang Yong seemed not to understand Cui Jun’s meaning, but after thinking about it, he soon thought of it.

"Ah, by the way, that Mr. Zhao Kui! Why did I forget him? Damn it."

Seeing that Zhang Yong and Cui Jun agreed with their ideas, Liu He no longer hesitated.

He had already investigated Zhao Kui's attributes. It was because he saw his attributes that Liu He suddenly had such an idea.

Because although Zhao Kui has ordinary attributes and is not outstanding, he has a very outstanding special attribute of the good herd!

"Good herds: When raising livestock, the breeding rate and the chance of excellent breeds appearing increased."

With such a talent, Liu He dared to make such an attempt with confidence.

"Immediately issue an order. Whether it is raising a livestock in Qiangyin County, whether it is raising a livestock, except for the tax exemption mentioned earlier, you can choose one of four types of livestock, cattle, sheep, horse, and donkey. The government will sell the cubs at 90% of the market price."

The reason why the market price is 90% rather than lower is mainly to prevent some illegal merchants from buying from Qiangyin County at a low price and then selling it to other places. If the price is 90%, then the merchants will have no money to make money by adding the cost of the back and forth. However, for ordinary people, this is still a considerable discount.

Cui Jun added: "It's better to make a limit. First, our army is under too much pressure, and second, the number is too large, which will still give some profitable merchants the opportunity to make profits. Third, Qiangyin County has a limited territory. If you really want to raise too many livestock, I'm afraid it won't be able to bear it."

Liu He nodded and said, "Yes, let's leave this matter to the military advisor. I have sent someone to transfer Gong Wei and Guangyuan. I think I will arrive soon. After you three of you discuss it together, you will issue it. As for Mr. Zhao Kui, let him temporarily take over the position of agricultural and deputy chief of Yanmen County, and then allocate a sum of funds to him, so that he can decide what to raise and how to raise it. As for whether this "temporary regeneration" can be converted to a regular position depends on his performance."

"Here!"

Zhang Yong and Cui Jun took the order and went down the city tower, but Liu He was still looking at the grassland in the distance.

"Qianyin County, Yanze, I will make you my first ranch for Liu He! Although this place alone cannot provide our army with too many war horses, I believe that there will be a second and third place soon! Sooner or later, the soldiers and people under my rule will be able to work and livestock to eat, eat often, and donkeys and horses to provide foot strength when traveling. If we can really do this, it will be no empty talk to unify the world without bloodshed!"

Liu He's eyes suddenly became extremely firm.
