This desire to farm has been lingering in Liu Cong's heart since he conquered Fancheng, making him unable to get rid of it.

Liu Cong is rational. He knows that in order to defeat Cao Cao in three years, he must seize the time to strengthen Jingzhou's power. To strengthen Jingzhou's power, the first step is to have sufficient troops and food.

However, in the past few years, Jingzhou's yamen have become increasingly depressed and their work has been ineffective. As a result, Jingzhou's agriculture, like other industries, has been languishing. Now that the situation in Jingzhou has developed to this point, land reclamation has become a top priority.

Therefore, after Liu Cong captured Fancheng, he did not even bother to go back to Xiangyang, so he hurriedly came to Xinye, thinking that before the New Year, he would decide on the matter of reclaiming wasteland and farming in Xinye.

However, it has been two days since I came here, and the official work on farming has not started yet. It is only in the process of brewing, and it is like pouring cold water on Liu Cong.

At first, it was Pang Tong and Xu Shu's negative attitude that made Liu Cong angry.

You know, Liu Cong basically pinned his hopes of farming in Xinye on Pang Tong and Xu Shu, so after being poured cold water on him, Liu Cong took corresponding measures, knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, and alarmed the two of them for a while. Now, this

The two guys finally faced the matter of farming honestly.

Just now these two guys discussed the difficulties of farming. Judging from their attitude, it seems that they are going to scrap Liu Cong's farming plan here.

Liu Cong, however, would not be easily denied. He knew that he was in charge of one of the most important events in the world, so he should be decisive and decisive, and the decisions he made should not be changed casually by others.

Therefore, Liu Cong expressed his determination to implement farming.

After this attitude calmed down Pang Tong Xu Shu and other ordinary yamen officials, Liu Cong stood up and ordered: "I have expressed my attitude regarding the farming matter. In this way, Pang Tong Xu Shu cannot stay in the village in the few days before the New Year.

The city is preparing to celebrate the New Year. Go down and investigate in the countryside to find a solution to the difficulties in farming.

Also, write the farming order at the same time. After writing it, while still here, we will meet again to study and formulate a farming work plan."

Pang Tong and Xu Shu smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, this matter is difficult to handle. There are three things that must be possessed to successfully farm. One is labor force, the other is land, and the third is cattle and other tools. We don't have these three points at all. This plan

How to formulate it?”

But Liu Cong replied without changing his expression: "It's up to you to decide how to formulate it, don't ask me."

After Liu Cong finished speaking, he ignored Pang Tong and Xu Shu and just gave some instructions to Huang Zhong, which meant that he was not going to spend the Spring Festival in Xinye and wanted to go out to inspect the farming affairs.

After Liu Cong finished speaking, he got up and took Fatty Lai away from the Yamen.

After Liu Cong left the Yamen, he did not go home. Instead, he left the south gate of Xinye and walked to a farmland ahead. He had to think carefully about how to start farming.

After exiting the south gate of Xinye, there are stretches of wheat fields on both sides of the road ahead.

It was a mild winter this year, and there was very little snow in the Xinye area. However, because there was abundant rain in the autumn, the wheat fields were moist at this time. Looking from a distance, I saw that although the wheat fields were not glowing with fresh green, they were still green and connected to the sky.

Liu Cong's mood improved. He quickened his pace and came to the wheat field. He squatted down and gently brushed the soil with his right hand. When the roots of the wheat seedlings were exposed, Liu Cong pinched a wheat seedling and pulled it up.

Fortunately, the wheat field was not too frozen, and the wheat seedlings were pulled out completely. Liu Cong felt like he had found a treasure, and he carefully appreciated the wheat seedlings in his hand under the skylight.

This person is also strange. He usually doesn't pay attention to things that have nothing to do with him. Let's talk about Liu Cong. Before time travel, he lived in the countryside. At that time, the mountains and ridges were covered with wheat fields. Maybe it was because it was commonplace. Liu Cong

Cong had never looked directly at a wheat seedling.

Since we are going to start farming today, why do we see these wheat seedlings being so affectionate?

At this time, Liu Cong admired it repeatedly. After admiring it for a while, he suddenly remembered the words of a great man before time travel, "Without investigation and research, there is no right to speak!"

Liu Cong jumped up, clapped his hands together a few times, and sighed: "Oh! What the big shot said makes sense, isn't it? It hits the point today. I never thought that what people said two thousand years later would be so useful.

Today is also instructive. It’s really ‘one size fits all’.”

Liu Cong sighed and laughed out loud: "Whatever applies to everyone is just right for the specific situation in front of me. That's right, since these two rotten bastards Pang Tong and Xu Shu have always emphasized that they cannot

Farming, emphasizing that Jingzhou does not have the factor of farming, why don’t I go out to the countryside and do some research to see if there is any idle land, whether there are idle cattle farming tools and labor force.”

When Liu Cong thought of this, he immediately became confident: "Jingzhou covers thousands of miles and is home to millions of people. Will it have no idle land? With these millions of people, all the land has been cultivated?"

When Liu Cong asked himself this, he moved his eyes away from the wheat fields and looked into the distance. He saw only the rolling hills and large areas of wasteland. Liu Cong thought: "Aren't these lands idle? Why not cultivate them?

What?" Thinking of this, he felt that he didn't know much about the ownership of this land, so he muttered: "Go down to investigate, investigate and study, first determine it and see if there is any land that can be cultivated."

Liu Cong made up his mind and told Liang Zhu'er, the fat man, "Go home, pack up, and go to the countryside to inspect the farmland tomorrow." After saying that, he turned around and walked ahead, lowering his head to consider as he walked: "The land issue has not been decided yet, but as long as

If there is idle land, I will have the means to acquire it."

Liu Cong was thinking as he walked, putting aside the land issue for the time being, and then thought: "The next problem? It is the labor force. There is no need to examine the labor force issue. The main force is Jingzhou's hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. Yes! The final problem is the production tool-ploughing.

Cattle Farm Tools.”

Liu Cong thought too much at the moment and his mind was a little confused. He smiled and persuaded himself: "Don't be so impatient. You can't eat too much if you are impatient. Take your time, you have time. Anyway, I will go to the countryside to investigate tomorrow and these problems will be found."

The answer is yes, let’s go home first and have some rest.”

So Liu Cong raised his head and looked forward, and suddenly found himself in a fireworks alley.

This Fireworks Alley is called Yanliuju, a narrow alley where dozens of households of pheasants live.

Because Yanliuju was right on the road where Liu Cong went home, Liu Cong, who was thinking about the problem with his head down along the way, stumbled into this alley and had already walked in.

Hearing a few songs of warblers, Liu Cong turned around and saw a few pheasants coming out to greet him.

Liu Cong said on a whim: "I knew there was Yanliuju in Xinye a few days ago. I heard it from Liang Zhuer and Fatty Lai. I guess these two guys came here to do some good deeds. Since we have come here, it's not dark yet.
