On February 17, the fourth year of Chongning of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, the third day of Yue Fei's two-year-old year was two hours, and on the modern day, it was 1:40 a.m.

Yue Fei found a major clue about a problem he was very concerned about in the scattered information recorded on the last page of the biography written by Yin Shou.

The news leaked inside was that Shennong found a kind of food during his collection of herbs.

He said that it was food because Shennong recorded that it could be eaten.

Yue Fei actually agreed with Shennong's point of view because he found the same thing in his wild survival training in another world, and he ate it for ten days.

The special forces have a very powerful stomach and can eat anything in this world, including those things that ordinary people cannot eat at all. They also taste no difficulty.

However, after he ate this thing for ten days, his stomach and intestines were safe. It can be seen that the thing is really food, as Shennong said.

Yue Fei felt that his own experience could stand the test more than Shennong's tasting experience.

Yue Fei is building a new high grain yield in Chenggang Village and Wuligang Town for him in recent days. The grains, beans, wheat, sticky rice, rice and other grains grown by local farmers are all real estate crops in a nutshell.

If the weather is good, the government should not impose excessive taxes, and farmers can barely be able to eat.

If we also supply food for those outsiders, according to Yue Fei's plan, it would be far from enough to recruit large numbers of refugees to attract foreign populations.

The troops and horses are going to move first before they move their food and grass. This is a need for war. Yue Fei will definitely solve this problem in the future, but it is not yet. Now he is attracting refugees, and he will first raise the inventory and have no food in his hand. Not to mention that refugees cannot be recruited, it is also a problem. The farmers who farm cannot eat enough.

However, recruiting refugees is an indispensable key in Yue Fei's strategic planning and is an imperative key.

In other words, whether it is the farmers in Chenggang Village or the bandits in Wuligang Town, the population base is not enough.

If Yue Fei has plenty of time, he can use the method of developing production and rewarding childbirth, relying on increasing children every year to increase the population.

It takes twenty years for a newborn child to grow up.

But where can Yue Fei wait? Not to mention that if you can't wait for twenty years or two years, you won't catch up with one step, you will not be able to catch up with one step.

It is the fourth year of Chongning of Huizong, and there are only twenty-two years left before the Jingkang shame of the Northern Song Dynasty. Waiting for Yue Fei to increase its troops by natural methods, the number of people can be added to the maximum of a few hundred people in twenty years. Not to mention the time to train, the number of people is too different.

Yue Fei's total strength is no longer something that the one-million-strong army has, and 200,000 elite troops are still needed.

In the first few years, the soldiers are expensive but not too much, but not too little, otherwise no matter how serious they are, they cannot make up for too little people.

Yue Fei's military expansion plan certainly includes two methods: conquering and fighting. No matter which method is used, you must have a minimum trump card.

This trump card is to have a certain number of elite soldiers, and to raise elite soldiers, you must have enough food. In the future, you must have two pillars: elite soldiers, and sufficient food.

In order to realize this strategic concept, the first thing to do is to solve the food problem.

A bumper grain harvest requires two major conditions. The first is to have a large amount of arable land; the second is to have high yield seeds.

As the arable land increases, Yue Fei has made preparations. One is to purchase arable land through Wang Ming and others.

The second thing is to open up land by yourself. Not long ago, through negotiations with the county magistrate, Wuligang Town obtained a large amount of wasteland and could be reclaimed.

Yue Fei has planned a good idea to reclaim wasteland, which is to let the children of peasants who are all soldiers reclaim wasteland through training and kill two birds with one stone.

This is because only with Yue Fei's insight can we come up with this skill, which solves the contradictory problems of military training and production in one fell swoop.

In fact, the key here is that the content of military training in the past cannot be combined with production. Both can only do the same, and both cannot do both.

Therefore, the strength used by the training of soldiers is in vain, while the labor required for farmland production is largely vacant because of the need for training.

Yue Fei is more confident in the increase in arable land. Now there are about 5,000 young and strong people in Chenggang Village and Wuligang Town. If these people are combined with training and land reclamation according to Yue Fei's vision, they can get two gains after working for two consecutive months.

The first gain is that these five thousand people will definitely be as strong as a cow.

Think about it, in two months, the land was opened like an old cow every day, and it could not stand it even if it was a cow.

Another thing is that Yue Fei is not short of hungry soldiers. What he can guarantee is that all young and strong people who participate in the land cultivation will eat for free, and eat whatever they want.

This alone, for example, how motivate should a person who has never been full of a big belly like Hu Zi?

Moreover, Yue Fei also has a set of reward and punishment measures, which are effective tricks.

Yue Fei remembered clearly that his grandfather told him a story. Once upon a time, there was a land reclamation champion named Du Linsen. In a land reclamation competition, he built a land reclamation with bare hands and created a miracle. He opened up six acres and three points a day, and was called "Illegal to death".

Yue Fei remembered it very clearly because he was still young at that time and said in surprise: "Wow! There are so many, let alone clearing the land, I can't do it, right? But when I grow up, I can open up seven acres of land!"

Hearing his grandfather smiled and gave him a spoonful of skin on his head: "I want to brag at such a young age? I have worked hard to open three acres of your grandfather. Can you be better than grandfather?"

In Yue Fei's eyes, grandpa was omnipotent. Seeing that he was taking care of his father, the mouse knew that he was awesome when he saw that the cat was similar.

It was probably because my grandfather didn’t master the energy at that time, which made Yue Fei’s head hurt. Now when he thinks about it, he still feels painful.

Later, when Yue Fei grew up, he also knew how successful it was to reclaim six acres of land every day. There was no way to compete with Du Linsen. Yue Fei sometimes even felt that that guy had special abilities.

Of course, there is no possibility of fraud in Du Linsen's land reclamation figures, because the indicator has countless eyes and verifications, and there are many participating people who supervise it, and there is no difference in the slightest.

Although Yue Fei admired his grandfather at that time, he had to admit that he could not meet the standard of land relocation of six acres and three-pointers. Not to mention six acres and three-pointers, deforestation of one acre of land could make him tired as a dog and lie on the ground and unable to get up.

But now, hehe!

Yue Fei, who had undergone physical transformation, was full of confidence again. I guess he would have to look at him with admiration when he asked his grandfather to see what he is now.

After floating for a while, Yue Fei braked back to the ground to think about the issue of land renovating.

Well, don’t be too ambitious. Even if you open one acre of wasteland a day, how much will it take for two months to open?

Well, count it: thirty days multiplied by five thousand people by one acre of land equals 150,000 acres!

Not too much, but there are also quite a lot, probably ten times the arable land of these two villages and towns.

So how much more grain can you make? Each mu yields of 100 kilograms? 200 kilograms? 300 kilograms? 400 kilograms?... 1,000 kilograms?

Yue Fei had a headache, and it was not easy to confirm, because it depends on whether the seeds can produce high yields.

The current wheat, millet, rice, beans, and even the highest yield rice, up to 500 kilograms, are not allowed to grow in all lands.

For example, rice yields will be higher, but it must be planted in water-watered fields, not in dry land. The newly reclaimed wastelands are basically dry land, and it is very difficult to transform into water-watered fields.

It would be useless to make a small fuss, so Yue Fei didn't worry about it, so he just calculated it as dry land.

This matter is probably based on the principle that it can increase a large amount of arable land through land reclamation and solve the problem of available land.

As for achieving the goal of 150,000 mu, Yue Fei didn't care much about it. He was thinking about it carefully, not doing scientific calculations, and there was no need to be accurate to one mu, one cent.

When making plans, the necessary prerequisites must be resolved, otherwise the foundation will be lost. Since the arable land is well-known, there is still a lack of good varieties.

This thought originated from Yin Shou's biography, Shennong's poor pictures and a few clues. When Yue Fei had no clue, he returned to Yin Shou's manuscripts.

I guess it was because I had been reading books for too long, and my eyesight was a little dazed. I just looked at the books and didn’t use my brain. My mind was not very clear. I just recalled and settled accounts for a while, and I recovered. When I saw that I took some broken pictures and cut words, I actually gained new results.

Looking at the stone marked "squatted", now I look at it, it is not a stone, but a clumsy bird, a kind of hawk. Even if I crouch on the ground, it is like a man squatting on the ground.

Then his memories that were already broken were also connected.

According to Yue Fei's cognition, this edible thing weighing 120 kilograms was not popularized during his active period in later generations. At that time, those people generally believed that similar foods were sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes or similar substances. From the taste, those potatoes may not be worse than this kind of behemoth, or even better. However, from the perspective of mass, these potatoes popularized in later generations were simply not worth mentioning.

One is a veritable behemoth, the other is just a little finger.

And that kind of insignificant potato has nothing to do with this behemoth, it was introduced from the foreign mirror of the country.

This made Yue Fei feel incredible.

If you don’t need something you have prepared dozens of times, why do you get a lot of bad stuff from outside?

It's not right, it's so bad that it's not as bad as it is, but it's really not as good as what I've had, like a mouse in front of an elephant.

No matter what caused it, he just ignored it.

Ignoring it is not about not doing anything, but directly starting from the giant, finding it as a seed of high-yield grain, and using it on newly reclaimed arable land.

Since it has not been popularized until later generations, Yue Fei estimated that the behemoth is still alive, and it is probably a bigger behemoth.

He also took it for granted that such a giant would definitely not be alone, but there must be many. If you find one, you will lead one and bring it up.

This is also the reason why Yue Fei wanted to use it to sow seeds in a regular manner. Moreover, there is such a huge thing in the place mentioned by Shennong. Isn’t there any other place? It’s just that it has not been discovered and not popularized.

There is no following in the things that Shennong discovered at that time. Even if there are other places, they will not be valued.

Yue Fei also considered that the behemoth was so powerful that the timid man was frightened when he saw it, so how could he dare to eat it?

Not everyone is Shennong.

Shennong tasted the giant with the courage to taste hundreds of herbs. It probably did not have special medicinal effects and would not be specially promoted, so it did not attract everyone's attention. After all, Shennong's purpose was not to find food, but to find medicine.

The natural ability of human beings is to find food when they are hungry, and the food nature can provide naturally meets human nature needs, except for those greedy desires.

Now Yue Fei has put his ideas on the behemoth, of course it is not because of his greedy desire, nor because the behemoth tastes particularly delicious.

Yue Fei's stomach and intestines, trained by special forces, is probably in the Song Dynasty, and no one can compare to him.

In other words, even if everyone starves to death due to lack of food, he can live and jump around.

You may also ask suspiciously: "There are delicious everywhere, why are you so polite? You just don't eat it?"

Therefore, Yue Fei was deliberately trying to find trouble for the giant, not for himself, but for the Song Dynasty people who needed food.

In order to attract hungry people, expand the soldiers who are all soldiers, and provide them with sufficient basic living needs.

Not only that, it is also for the greater increase in Yue Fei's troops and supporters in the future.

This increase will be expanded to all the borders of Song in a certain future period. At least it will not starve people to death in the years of famine, and will also support their growth. These are inseparable from food.

In addition to having the Song Dynasty, Yue Fei will also expand his position of supplying food in the future. In addition to having the Song Dynasty, the scope is larger and requires more food.

However, Yue Fei was not very worried, because as the support scope expanded, the arable land would increase a lot, so he would not have to worry about not having a place to plant such high-yield crops.
