Chapter 246 Grassland Fortification Plan Opens
Zhang Xiaohuo was also unambiguous. He pointed to the plow on the ground and began to explain the principles of the plow to Yang Qian. Not to mention that he was not good at farming, but when he talked about this thing, he looked very eloquent.
The current plow is a concave shape that turns to the left, with a straight top and a straight bottom. Zhang Xiaohuo felt that it was not enough, so he encouraged Yang Gan to come down and try it.
Yang Gan was also unambiguous. After taking off his shoes and socks, he jumped down as soon as his clothes were tied up and patted the body of the cattle. Unexpectedly, Zhuangzi had good cattle-raising skills.
The cattle were raised very strong, and when they were pulled around the world, they could really feel the resistance when the plow was breaking up the earth.
Although normal farming can still be done, this resistance will greatly consume the physical strength of the cattle.
Zhang Xiaohuo took out the wooden board he had brought with him and used charcoal to write and draw on the wooden board. After a while, a strange-looking rake was drawn.
Maybe he was afraid that Yang Qian wouldn't understand, so he kept explaining to Yang Qian, "My newly improved plow, first of all, changes the straight and long shafts into curved and short shafts."
"A plow disc that can rotate freely is installed on the shaft head, which not only makes the plow frame smaller and lighter, but also facilitates U-turns and turns, making the operation flexible and saving manpower and livestock."
Yang Gan's eyes widened, staring at the picture on the board, taking a breath, looking at Zhang Xiaohuo in disbelief, and blurted out, "Did you fucking invent the Quyuan Li?"
Zhang Xiaohuo was surprised and said, "Quyuanli? What a good name. Thank you, Master, for naming this plow."
Yang Gan scratched his head, he was still confused. He knew about cold weapons and water conservancy, but he had no interest in rakes at all.
So I only know that there is such a thing as a curved shaft plow, and I remember a little bit about its shape, but I don’t know what it looks like, otherwise it would have been found long ago.
Yang Qian patted Zhang Xiaohuo on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Xiaohuo, you are really powerful. You alone can defeat an army of 100,000 people."
Zhang Xiaohuo bared his teeth. The Sheriff's hand was really strong, but he was not proud. Instead, he was a little panicked and said, "Sir, don't talk nonsense. I am just a tenant farmer, how can I withstand an army of 100,000 people."
Yang Gan laughed heartily, turned his head and said seriously, "I said we can make it if we can. With the curved shaft plow, the farming speed will be greatly accelerated, and we can reclaim more wasteland. This year's harvest will definitely be huge."
Seeing Yang Qian's heartfelt smile, Mu Qing was drunk. He never thought that a man could smile so beautifully.
"I'll give it a try too~~~!"
Yang Gan pulled the cattle with his bare feet and kept plowing the soil in the fields. It must be said that after retting, the fertile fields smelled stinky, but the yield was indeed high.
No wonder the output was so low in the past. As long as there is enough food and every household has a granary, they can survive even a year of drought without fear of floods.
As long as there are no problems with your grain harvesting plan, countless granaries will rise inside and outside the city, and any uneaten grain can be stored.
After the food increases, the county governor's mansion will become richer and richer. Once the county governor's mansion is rich, it can build many livelihood buildings, such as building bridges and roads.
If you want to get rich, build roads first. If silk products like Wufeng County are paved on official roads, the speed will be as fast as flying.
Other counties also have specialties from other counties. In Yang Qian's vision, all the roads in the county town are connected to each county, and all the products, handicrafts and the like are gathered in the county town.
In this way, a county town similar to a trading area can be formed, and caravans from various counties, towns or vassal states can come to trade.
The industry standards that are finally formed can only be meaningful if you customize the standards yourself.

Right of speech.
If there is no food, everything will be empty talk.
"Mu Qing, do you want to ride a bull?" Yang Gan extended his hand to Mu Qing on the field ridge and smiled.
Mu Qing was stunned. She had lived a fine life since she was a child. Although traveling around the world was a bit dusty, she had never done any heavy work.
After hesitating for a moment, Yang Qian nodded lightly and placed her directly on the back of the cattle.
The plow cow shook his head.
He called out "moo moo" several times.
Yang Gan was a little excited, dragging the cattle around. For someone like Mu Qing, she must know the importance of food, but this was the first time she had seen how farming was done so closely.
Especially the wide back of the beef, apart from the unpleasant smell, it has a different kind of novelty.
"This is my first time riding a bull."
Yang Gan pulled the cattle and smiled and said, "I have ridden one before, but I rode a rhinoceros."
"Yang Qian, I looked at other vassal states, and their chiefs' eyes were almost dull and lifeless, but your chiefs here are very positive." Mu Qing asked the questions he had after arriving at the manor.
Yang Gan kicked one deep and one shallow, and it was quite refreshing to stand barefoot in the field for the first time, but it was a pity that it was not volcanic mud, otherwise he would have been doing a volcanic mud foot mask.
Putting the strange thoughts out of his mind, he said, "Because I gave them light."
"Light? What light?"
Yang Gan showed an unreadable smile, "See for yourself, think for yourself, Mu and everyone should not be able to see this, right?"
Mu Qing's beautiful big eyes blinked and nodded, "Okay."
No matter how good she is, she is completely different from girls in the city. Even if Zhang Yumeng likes Yang Gan, she will fight against him all day long, but Mu Qing is different.
After identifying Yang Gan, Yang Gan is his one and only. She will listen to whatever Yang Gan says. She is simply the goddess in men's dreams. It is not an exaggeration to call her the best marriage partner.
At this time, Lao Chen led several men who looked like generals and walked towards Tian Gengtian and shouted to the people below.
"Xiaohuo, I heard that the young master is coming here, have you seen it?"
Zhang Xiaohuo pointed to the clay figure playing happily with the cattle in the field and said, "Hey, there."
Old Chen glanced at him and said displeasedly, "Don't mess with me. What I'm looking for is the young master, the Sheriff."
"That's him."
Lao Chen was stunned for a moment, and ran towards Yang Gan without caring about the shallow water in the field. The generals were also confused.
I saw that the lower half of Yang Gan's body was covered in mud. Because of the fertilizer, the whole body smelled very bad. In fact, the smell in the entire village was similar, and everyone was used to it.
Several generals ran over in disbelief, clasped their fists at Yang Gan and said, "See you, general."
Yang Qian was chatting enthusiastically with Mu Qing, but his mood suddenly turned bad, but considering that he was coming from the military and not sure if it was an important matter, he asked.
"What's up?"
The general said, "General Tian, let us ask the general for instructions. Should the construction plan outside the pass be started? Where will the money and food be allocated?"
Yang Qian nodded, spring had already begun in a blink of an eye, and he almost forgot.
"Go and tell Tian Zong about the city building plan. From now on, there will be hundreds of thousands of slaves from the three tribes. All of them will be brought to work for me. The money and food will be allocated from the army."
Yang Qian had already thought about this issue. At that time, when the three tribes were exterminated, he didn’t get much loot, and the county
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
I also took some and put most of it in the army to pay for the construction of five cities, so there should be no problem.
Cement is extremely cheap, and it almost only requires manpower. The preparations started half a year ago, and there are hundreds of thousands of slaves. The final expenditure on food and money is nothing more than rations for livestock and slaves.
Asking Lao Chen to get pen and ink, Yang Qian drew a few strokes on the cow's back, then outlined the general terrain, and marked dozens of points 1,000 to 500 miles outside the pass.
Some dots are thinner and some are thicker.
After receiving the information handed over by Yang Qian, the general who reported the news looked confused: "General, this, this is not in line with the original plan?"
"In the past, how many slaves did we have? It wasn't even enough to mine, but now? It's enough with food."
"Looking at the weather during this period, there will definitely be a bumper harvest this season. There will be endless food and meat. How about building more cities?"
Yang Gan took the information over again, spread it out on the back of the cow, pointed at the big and small dots and said, "Look, these small dots build small cities, and the big ones build big cities. Each city echoes each other." "
"Once a city is in trouble, support can be provided from all directions."
Yang Gan analyzed the generals in detail and stipulated the uses of these cities. Most of them were to recruit nomadic tribes so that they could have a place to spend the winter.
There is a place to trade, people. Once you have eaten and drank enough, you may find something to do, but if you want to put your head in your belt, you will always think carefully first.
In addition, no tribe is allowed to have more than 5,000 people on the grasslands occupied by Yang Gan. They also need to learn Chinese characters under the guidance of teachers.
I believe that before long, the three ethnic groups who have been influenced by culture for a long time and some of the younger people will begin to get used to the stable life in the city.
At that time, whoever dares to break all this will be the enemy of the Central Plains and the entire people who enjoy vested interests.
These dotted cities not only provided external defense for the border, but also played a crucial role in trade, transportation, and communications.
After a while, Yang Qian looked at the weather and suddenly thought of something. He immediately took out the book from his arms and wrote information quickly.
"Bring this to Tian Zong and say that the 100,000 border troops need to be reformed immediately, and they need to strictly follow what I wrote. If there is any neglect, you will be severely punished!"
"No~~!"
After carrying Mu Qing to the ridge of the field, Yang Qian found a ditch with bare feet, cleaned it, and wanted to hold her in his arms.
Unexpectedly, Mu Qing, who was usually gentle and submissive, was very resistant. Even if he was happy to fool around with Yang Gan, he would not show too much enthusiasm outside.
At this time, a group of half-grown children passed by Yang Gan. Yang Gan quickly got out of the way, laughing and scolding, "Little tiger, why are you running so fast? Don't get into trouble and get beaten by your grandpa."
Xiao Huzi was stunned and immediately said in surprise, "Sir? Are you back?"
Yang Gan smiled and touched Xiao Huzi's head. Although he was the elder, in fact they were not much different in age.
"Well, it's been a few days, why are you running so fast?" He looked at the little tiger holding a bowl of lard residue in his hand.
Yang Qianqi said, "It seems it's not time for dinner yet."
"We are hello, big tiger, two tigers, big bear, and two bears."
Yang Gan slapped his head and almost forgot about his pets. After walking for several months, he didn't know what they looked like.
"Let's go and see it together."
