Steel Dynasty - Chapter 607

[Chapter 607: Advance with great success]

PS: There is one more chapter.

The fragrance of the earth wafts freely in the spring breeze, the trees in the fields are full of chirping sparrows, and the beautiful pastoral scenery is unobstructed.

The three of them carefully watched the use of the grain drill before returning to the field with a smile.

Fiji asked at this time: “Your Highness, what can be grown with this grain drill?”

“Wheat, barley, sorghum, millet, beans, early rice, rapeseed, and flax can be used with it.” Xiao Ming said, looking around at the beautiful scenery.

Since coming to this world, he has never appreciated the pristine scenery of this world so seriously. Now that the threat from the south has been resolved, he can finally enjoy life in this world with peace of mind.

As for King Yan, King Zhao and King Liang, they are just meat on the chopping board. When to cut them is just a matter of time.

“So much.” Fiji stroked his beard and narrowed his eyes with a smile.

First there were potatoes, then sweet potatoes. Now the advent of seed drills has reduced the number of people needed to cultivate the land. Fengguo’s agriculture is now booming. He believes that in a few years, Fengguo may not be able to finish all the food.

Pang Yukun was happy in his heart, but he also thought of an important question, “Your Highness, Wei has more people but less land, while Youzhou has less people and more land. In this way, the amount of land allocated to each commoner will inevitably be different. Xianguan Are you thinking about transferring some people from densely populated prefectures and counties to Youzhou?”

Xiao Ming nodded: “What Pang Shoufu said is what I am thinking about, but not everyone is willing to leave their hometown. Wei has just been here. At this time, people’s hearts are still unstable, and if we do it rashly, we are afraid of causing civil unrest, so I think it is better to introduce some policies to benefit the people in densely populated counties and counties. For example, if they move to Youzhou, they can get compensation, or even We can allocate more land.”

“Your Highness has thought carefully about this,” Pang Yukun said.

Xiao Ming said: “Youzhou is the second best. What I am mainly worried about is the land outside Shanhaiguan.”

“The land outside Shanhaiguan?” Fiji looked confused.

“I have read a lot of history books these days and found that the troubles in the north have continued for thousands of years because even though the grassland barbarians were driven away, no one was sent to settle on this land in the past dynasties.” Xiao Ming said.

As the saying goes, if you don’t occupy the place, others will. This is the reason why the grasslands in the north are plagued by disasters.

Once a prairie barbarian tribe left, the north would soon be occupied by another prairie tribe. Repeatedly, Dayu people never made up the majority on this land.

Therefore, in Xiao Ming’s opinion, the most important thing after defeating the barbarians is to move the Han people to this land to settle and breed. Otherwise, another grassland tribe will rise within a few decades.

After all, land that is not dominated by Dayu people will inevitably be occupied by foreigners.

“Your Highness, it is bitterly cold in the north. Who is willing to live in these barren lands?” Pang Yukun said a current fact.

Xiao Ming sighed and said: “That’s all, I just mentioned that it may take some years to defeat the barbarians, but you have to keep this issue in mind now.”

There is no way now, but it doesn’t mean there is no way in the future. Next, He will encourage the people of Dayu to have more children. When the water tank is full, it will overflow. When the population increases, people will naturally be willing to settle in the north.

Without mentioning the matter again, Xiao Ming said: “Now that you have a grain drill, you should also find a way to promote it to businessmen. It takes a lot of steel and manpower to make this thing. It is worth it if you can sell it at a good price. Establish a separate workshop for production.”

Pang Yukun took the initiative to stop the matter. He said: “Your Highness, leave this matter to your subordinates. Mr. Fei Ge will definitely be very busy in handling Wei Di’s affairs.”

Fiji smiled. , although the two often have arguments due to different ideas, they have always cooperated well on government affairs.

The three of them walked towards the government office as they talked. Now they just need to wait for good news from the Southern Expedition Army.

On March 6th,

the Battle of Chuzhou in Haizhou City ended. Lu Fei led the army to the Haizhou City in Wei. During this period, intelligence from the secret guards continued to come in. Just as he had guessed, the Battle of Jinling City, In the Battle of Chuzhou, all the main forces of Wei had been wiped out, and the remaining cities were just some defeated soldiers.

After the secret guards in the city reported that there were only 8,000 defenders in the city, he launched an attack, and Haizhou City was destroyed in just one day.

On March 9, after three days of rest, the Southern Expeditionary Army left 2,000 people in the city to maintain public order and then set out for Suzhou. On March 13, Suzhou City was captured.

At the same time, Ye Qingyun, after leaving 10,000 people to guard Jinling City, led 20,000 people to Binzhou, which was only one day away at night.

Binzhou City was captured on March 14th, and Shouzhou City was captured by Ye Qingyun on March 20th.

On March 25th, the city of Sizhou was captured, on April 2nd, the city of Taizhou was captured, and on April 10th, the city of Yaozhou was captured.

On April 20th, Ye Qingyun led the Dengzhou Army and Lu Fei to meet at the foot of Shouzhou City. This Shouzhou City was the last city in Wei. If this city was captured, the entire Wei region would be included in the feudal state.

“Ye Qingyun, why do you only have so few people left?”

Lu Fei glanced at Ye Qingyun’s people, and there were only about 10,000 people left.

Ye Qingyun rolled his eyes, “You are overthinking. These soldiers did not die in the battle, but I left them to maintain order in the occupied prefectures and counties. Isn’t it the same for you?”

“I thought it was you. He was not good at studying and killed everyone.” Lu Fei rubbed the back of his head and laughed.

Ye Qingyun and Lu Fei have known each other for a long time, and they are veterans of the feudal country. Because of this, he and Lu Fei talk very casually, and the two often fight and scold each other.

Glancing at Ye Qingyun of Shouzhou City, he said, “You fight or do I fight?”

Lu Fei thought for a while, “We won’t fight, let Luo Hong fight. After all, the Luo family is also a famous family of military gods in the Chongqing Kingdom. Now that the tiger is in Pingyang, we have to give him some opportunities, right?”

Ye Qingyun was stunned for a moment, He said: “Yes, I heard that the firearms camp fought very hard these few times.”

“Yes, because of this we can’t bully others.” Lu Fei said.

Ye Qingyun nodded, “Okay, I won’t compete with Luo Hong. The brothers in the Firearms Camp also need some money to settle in Qingzhou, so this piece of fat will be given to them.”

“Bah, you are pretending to be generous. Who doesn’t know that you take advantage of After arriving at Jinling City, you, Ye Qingyun, are so fat when the bounty is distributed.” Lu Fei said dissatisfied.

Ye Qingyun’s face was full of smiles, and he didn’t care what Lu Fei said. Just as Lu Fei said, he and his soldiers were very excited now.

He had already counted the treasury of Jinling City, and Fengguo had really made a fortune this time.
