Chapter 215 The so-called conservation of energy
Huo Hai's short words required tens of thousands of people to work, and the intensity was quite high.
The so-called initial development of Hexi is to allow them to produce enough food to support themselves, so that they can export more cattle, horses and livestock to the army under Huo Hai.
The food required by hundreds of thousands of people a year is not a small amount, so the amount of land and farmland is
Nothing less.
Based on the current population, it takes at least more than two million acres.
Because the yield of new fields will be relatively low, and even five acres may not be able to support one person. There are currently more than 300,000 people in Hexi, and most of them are the Huns and Qiang people who are not good at farming.
After all the ice and snow in Hexi melted in March, Sima Chong, who was in charge of military farming, realized how difficult it was to cultivate farming.
The frozen rain for more than ten days made the weather even more wet and colder than when the mountains were blocked by heavy snow. After the frozen rain, the cold wind like a knife ravaged for several days, causing all the vegetation that had just sprouted to death.
And that's not the end. When it comes to April, the weather suddenly warms up. In the next two or three months, the rain disappeared from the sky, which made the new fields that had just opened up a whirlwind of mud and sand.
"Old Jia, is this what you said better and better?" Looking at the fields drying to the cracks, Huo Hai looked at Jia Xu who was following him with some reproach.
"The seedlings of tens of thousands of acres of land survived tens of thousands of acres of land because of digging canals to divert water and several Taoist priests who used spiritual talismans to rain at the right time. This is great." Jia Xu smiled helplessly.
"You mean, the situation in other parts of the world will be worse than that in Hexi?" Huo Hai said thoughtfully.
"In the general's words, energy is conserved. If the Heavenly Dao wants to use energy, it must be drawn from the bodies of all things. That time, the Qilian Mountains pumped too hard. This extreme weather may last for more than ten years." Jia Xu nodded.
"So, those of us who benefit from the strange phenomena of heaven and earth should do something for those who have been harmed by natural disasters." Huo Hai said with a bad face.
Historically, this period was a very dark period, and the scientific explanation was that it was the Little Ice Age, with disasters for years.
Natural disasters are often the beginning of man-made disasters.
When people start fighting for a bite and stop producing and saving themselves, only more people will die.
"I'm afraid the general can't do anything." Jia Xu shook his head and said.
"Is it still because of energy conservation?" Huo Hai frowned.
"That's right, the general used a large number of talismans to ensure good weather and weather in the whole place, which will definitely lead to worse environments in other places. This is not a long-term solution.
Moreover, it is really hard to define what the spiritual energy of heaven and earth represents. This may include the luck of the people in the Central Plains, nine out of ten rooms and no rooster crowing thousands of miles away, and perhaps in the next few years not far away." Jia Xu said seriously.
From his serious eyes, Huo Hai also saw a hint of joy, because he still saw some vitality in the north.
"Sir, what should I do next?" Huo Hai asked after sighing.
Jia Xu's wisdom is definitely the top-notch, but the only thing that is that he is a little indifferent to the world and only cares about his own future. He has no philanthropic thoughts for irrelevant people.
Of course, this is also the perception of the most talented people in today's society.
After all, family and world are the mainstream ideas at present, and it is human nature that people do not punish themselves and punish themselves.
"The general should hold the emperor's edict, the seal of the Bingzhou governor, inspect all counties and counties, arrange those who have passed the letter to serve in important positions, so that the officials and civilians of each county will obey you, be accustomed to your management, and even determine from the heart that you are the master of Bingzhou."
"Is the people-oriented project? This is simple. I will be released tomorrow to recruit people who cannot farm due to the bad weather. The government is responsible for lending grain and rice interest-free to the people who cannot eat in each county, and counting the number of households in each township. I will visit each county, household by household, personally visit them, and give them some daily necessities such as grain, rice, salt, etc.." Huo Hai smiled.
"In this case, the general will have something to do in the next few months." Jia Xu said in a daze.
"Bingzhou must take a different path from other princes. Being close to the people will become a necessary homework for all officials. Now, I will take the lead in setting an example for them." Huo Hai said very surely.
"I'm afraid it's more than that. Once this policy is announced, people from other states will come to our Bingzhou, and the general may be eaten up.
Moreover, what the general should do now is to select officials to enhance the military strength of Bingzhou, and not let talented people leave them in the countryside.”
"What are you talking about is those who have special abilities after the strange phenomena of heaven and earth?"
"That is, now all the princes in the world are doing this. The more special talents they have, the stronger the military strength will be. If we don't do it in Bingzhou, these local talents will be lost to them to strengthen their strength, which is not conducive to the general's development plan.
And as long as we can't beat them, we will grow white no matter how many land we grow."
"These people have won the luck of 90% of the people in the world for nothing. They should do their best to give back to those people and help everyone survive the harsh environment in the future. This matter will be done according to the teacher's idea! After recruiting talents, I can come and receive them in person." Huo Hai nodded.
"What the general said is reasonable, then you can borrow food without interest..."
"It's okay to borrow. No matter how many people come, we will eat it as usual. Don't forget that the territory I am in charge of is not only Bingzhou, but also the entire northern grassland. If it really doesn't work, I will send cavalry to a farther place to find a suitable space for survival."
If Huo Hai was embarrassed to say it when he went to find someone to rob him, there was no force worth robbing.
However, Jia Xu understood what Huo Hai meant and did not continue to dissuade him, because he knew that Huo Hai had another trump card, that is one-quarter of Jizhou and the water and land commercial system that was about to connect the world.
Several major merchants in Jizhou will collect the world's grain to the north. As long as it is not opened, Huo Hai can even raise a million troops.
Because he has several new crops from Tianwai in his hands, and now they have expanded their planting. And the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has very little impact on these Tianwai crops.
Perhaps it only takes two or three years, and his strength is a little stronger than Yuan Shao, who occupied the four northern prefectures in history.
"Report that news has been heard by General Zilong."
After a communication soldier informed him, he handed a strip of cloth to Huo Hai's personal guards. Soon, Huo Hai saw the contents on the cloth.
Lu Bu has already broken through Qi Jin, and his combat power is so strong that his brother is not as good as possible. He asked his brother for a year to leave. He wanted to retreat to the place where the White Tiger fell, and strive to break through to the Qi Jin level and help his brother check and balance Lu Bu as soon as possible.
Huo Hai has been back from Qilian Mountain for more than two months, but he has not ordered Lu Bu and Zhao Yun to return. One is because they are responsible for clearing out strange beasts born in Qilian Mountains due to the changes in the world, and the other is because Qilian Mountains has the most abundant spiritual energy, and he hopes that his top combat power can be improved.
A few days ago, Huo Hai had already received a letter that Xu Huang and Guan Hai had reached the peak level of internal strength, and their combat power was not even inferior to Lu Bu before. Now it seems that Zhao Yun has also reached the peak level of internal strength, and his combat power should be far superior to Lu Bu before.
But now he said bluntly that he was not as good as Lu Bu. It seems that Lu Bu, who has been upgraded to the level of Qi and strength, has made a big leap in his strength.
The most important thing is that Lu Bu has reached the level of Qi and has not informed Huo Hai, and he has not brought the strange beasts hunted by his subordinates in the Qilian Mountains to Huo Hai.
"Lu Bu broke through the Qi and Power level, and there are few opponents in the world. I'm afraid he has become more independent. Sir, what should I do with him?" Huo Hai transferred the information directly to Jia Xu and said.
"Lu Bu is arrogant and will not be willing to live under others. Didn't the general have already intentionally let him disturb the Central Plains? After Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, the general can directly ask him to lead troops to attack Dong and set an end for the princes." Jia Xu said, touching his beard.
Huo Hai looked dim when he heard this, "Once the battle between princes and hegemony begins, decades of war in the Central Plains will be inevitable. At that time, I don't know how many innocent people will be killed or injured."
"It is an indispensable process for the general to go against the will of heaven. However, the general did not say anything. The war in the Central Plains will not last for decades. According to my deduction, ten years later, the world may become a stalemate, and for another twenty years, it can be unified without fighting."
"All things in this world can be predicted in advance?"
"It's not all that. There are certain variables in the world. The deduction technique can only predict the best and worst situations. As the variables continue to arise, the ending will continue to change. What I just said is that according to the current development, the situation may appear, and inferring it in a few months or even a few years may be another situation. As strong as Duke Zhou, he cannot fully understand the affairs of the future, let alone me."
"So, everything is still based on reality?" Huo Hai said with some disappointment.
Jia Xu nodded and said, "Yes, everything can only be based on reality. Just like the general wants to let Lu Bu go to disrupt the Central Plains, whether Lu Bu will go or not will cause trouble according to the general's wishes is only within one thought. Lu Bu may have many thoughts in one day. He chose any of them, and the results caused are different and unpredictable."
"Sir, just now, what about the worst case?"
Jia Xu said with a sad expression, "The creatures in the Central Plains are in trouble and are occupied by foreign tribes. The Han people have become two-legged sheep and live a dark life. It takes more than a hundred years to get a stable life."
Has Lao Jia read history books?
