Three hundred and eighty fourth chapter three years(1/2)
Half a month later.
The troops in the four major Chu states stationed in Xiakou, Jiangling, Guiyang and Changsha resumed normal training.
Xiakou is still Wei Yan as the main general and Lu Xun as the deputy general, commanding the original 50,000 Chu troops.
Jiangling is composed of 10,000 cavalry of Liu Pan and 20,000 infantry under Deng Ai.
Guiyang, Wu Ting Yao trained 20,000 elite soldiers from this unit of vine armor.
Of course, Huang Zhong was responsible for the training of the 30,000 troops in Changsha.
At present, Xing Daorong just re-summoned the 130,000 veterans, and there was no warning to the new recruits.
Calculate the time, the world has been changing for thirteen years. The first batch of newborns were almost adults. Chu State would not have to worry about soldiers in the next few years, but we still need to wait for it now.
Of course, the main task of Chu State at present is to settle the people, encourage mulberry fields, restore social order, and expand the army without rush.
Not only Chu, but also the other four countries of Wei, Qi, Shu and Yan are all like this.
After a year, he worked in the four countries in detail and reported the general situation of each country, which was similar to that of Chu.
In addition to restoring military training, Xing Daorong began to order people to reorganize breeding farms and fishing grounds in various places.
Due to the great changes in the world last year, the terrain has changed a lot. The original breeding farms and fishing grounds have been damaged to varying degrees, but the foundation is still there, so it is not much effort to organize personnel recovery.
It is worth mentioning that Wuling’s horse farm has not been greatly affected.
Not only that, because of the expansion of the area and the increase of the site, the aquatic plants in the horse farm have become more abundant and their luxuriant degree is not inferior to those in the northern grasslands, resulting in a significant increase in the reproduction rate of horses.
At the beginning, Xing Daorong fought east and west, captured the seven counties of Jiaozhou, and took the land of the south. However, because there were few horses in the south, the number of horses in the horse farm was only about one thousand.
Later, Cao Cao gave away 20,000 war horses. In addition to taking out 10,000 cavalry troops, the rest were handed over to Liu Feng for raising them in the horse farm.
Liu Feng lived up to Xing Daorong's entrustedness and carefully cared for the horse farm. In the past three years, the number of horses has doubled, reaching about 23,000!
This speed is not slow.
The cycle of a horse being pregnant and giving birth to a horse is similar to a human being, and it is once a year. Most of the horses in the horse farm are mares, and they give birth to foals every year, which is why it doubles even more speed.
After learning the news, Xing Daorong was very happy.
You know, the foal can be bred after the age of three!
In other words, the first batch of foals can participate in breeding next year to further increase the number of horses.
From then on, the horse farm will enter a high-speed cycle breeding period!
Xing Daorong estimated that at this speed, in five years, the horses in the horse farm will reach 100,000!
Moreover, after the great changes in the world, large areas of grassland appeared in various parts of the State of Chu, which were very suitable for raising horses. In the future, more and more places will be suitable for horse growth.
To be simple, from now on, the lack of horses in the south will be a legend and will never return!
Ten years later, the State of Chu established a pure cavalry of 100,000 or 200,000, which was no problem!
After understanding this, Xing Daorongle couldn't stop talking all day long.
Of course, that's what happened in the future.
At present, the most important thing in the State of Chu is the issue of food.
Because, a year later, the originally stored grain began to bottom out, while the newly reclaimed 20 million land acres yield was extremely low, which could not meet the consumption of nearly five million people.
Therefore, starting from the second year after the great changes in the world, the state of Chu entered a difficult period of saving money and frugality.
The government will come forward and regularly distribute food to the people, regardless of whether they are full!
Fortunately, the reputation of the Chu State government is quite good, and the people of this era are easy to talk to and have food to eat. If they cannot starve to death, they will not cause trouble.
A few people who caused trouble were suppressed immediately!
At this time, you can't be soft-hearted!
Time passed silently.
The third year.
Before the great changes in the world, the food stored by the government was completely exhausted!
Fortunately, after a year of planting and care, the yield of the deserted fields reclaimed last year began to increase.
The output of private land is still not enough!
There are more than 10 million mu of land, 4.8 million people and 1.2 million households. On average, each household has more than 10 mu of land.
In a normal era when heaven and earth are changing, this amount of land is enough for a family of five to eat. Of course, it is just based on the previous standards.
If we calculate based on the appetite that the people have raised in the past decade of changes in the world, such grain output is still insufficient.
After all, for more than ten years, the people have had a full meal every time, and sometimes they even ate one bowl and poured one bowl. It does not count the nutritional content, but only depends on the quantity, and is not under the modern society in later generations.
Therefore, for the people, the current food is still insufficient.
It doesn’t matter, there is still a Guantian!
This year, there was a large amount of surplus in the official land, which was equivalent to that of the civil land, and under the organization of the government, it was distributed to the people by borrowing and lending.
Therefore, this year, the food problem in Chu State was completely solved.
Three years later, the deserted fields turned into fertile fields.
On average, each household has ten acres, which is equivalent to the yield of fertile fields in later generations of hybrid rice. Every household has returned to the dietary standards before the great changes in the world.
The fourth year after the great changes in the world, spring.
In the simple Chu Palace, in the Chamber Hall, Jiang Wan, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Zhang Zhao, Liu Ba and other senior Chu leaders gathered together.
"Master!"
Jiang Wan looked happy and bowed to Xing Daorong and said with a smile:
"Last year, the people not only had enough food for their own use, but also returned all the grain borrowed from the previous year, and the granary of the government was full of!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Xing Daorong laughed and said:
"It's so good. I will cancel the ban on alcohol. I want to drink good wine, hahahaha!"
In the past three years, due to food shortage, Xing Daorong immediately issued a ban on alcohol, prohibiting the brewing of wine among the people.
Not to mention those restaurants, even the "Xianren Zui" led by Fan Xiu'er has long stopped brewing.
Xing Daorong, who has always been drunk, has not drunk alcohol for three years!
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Jiang Wan, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Zhang Zhao and others on the opposite side laughed out loud when they heard this.
The literati of this era, like the generals of the army, were all booby drinkers. They had no wine for three years, but they were all so greedy!
"Master!"
Xu Shu stepped forward and bowed and said:
"Now that barren fields have become fertile fields, food is no longer a problem. The next step is to rebuild the county government, county government, and royal city!"
"Well, what Yuan Zhi said is exactly what I want!"
Xing Daorong nodded and said.
Since the biggest problem has been solved, we will naturally further restore all domestic affairs.
"King, there are many domestic affairs at present, and the army will not be expanded for the time being, but the formation of elite troops can begin!"
Pang Tong left the line and bowed and said:
"I plan to re-establish the 'Chinyan Feather Guard'. In addition, General Huang Hansheng made an advice to me the day before yesterday, and wanted to form an elite cavalry called the 'Xuanhuang Blood Cavalry'. I have agreed!"
"oh?"
Upon hearing this, Xing Daorong was a little surprised, looked at Pang Tong and asked:
"General Han Sheng has also developed elite troops?"
“That’s right!”
Pang Tong smiled and said:
"General Han Sheng explained to me, I think there is a lot to do!"
"good!"
Xing Daorong waved his hand happily and said:
"Shi Yuan told Han Sheng that he would train well and that he would go and observe another day!"
As the level of civil officials and military generals in the world increases, the power of military generals' skills becomes greater and greater. In the future wars, ordinary troops are not enough to see.
Under this situation, elite troops with "evil energy protection" are becoming more and more important. How could Xing Daorong be unhappy when he heard that Huang Zhong also developed an elite cavalry?
"There's another thing!"
Pang Tong continued:
To be continued...
