Lord of the People of Online Games (Lord of the Gaming World)

Chapter 190 American Crops and Trade Nodes

"Lord Lord, you captured 800,000 Yellow Turbans and won a great victory, but how should we solve the food problem for these Yellow Turbans?"

Chu Tianxiong returned to Xiacheng quickly, and soon encountered a thorny problem. Xia Liang smiled and asked him for food.

"It's not that I want to subdue so many Yellow Turbans, but that they are willing to follow me. In the past, when Liu Bei passed through Xiangyang, countless residents were willing to follow him, and they kept saying that this is probably the charm of his personality."

Chutian tried to change the subject.

"But Lord Lord, what about the food? What about the food for 800,000 people?"

Facing Xia Xian Liang's pressing step by step, Chu Tian almost leaned against the wall, her breathing could be clearly heard, her chest heaving and undulating because of excitement.

Chu Tian put his hands on her soft shoulders and gently pushed them away: "There will always be a way, as long as this year is passed, 800,000 refugees will reclaim farmland and grow food for us, and we will no longer have to pay for food in the future. Troubled problems."

Chu Tian thought that the sudden influx of 800,000 refugees into Langya Kingdom was indeed a huge test for the officials of Langya Kingdom.

He recruited 800,000 refugees outside himself, and he made great achievements in battle, which was a pain for a group of officials in Langya Kingdom. They must properly arrange this group of refugees to prevent changes.

The first is the food problem of 800,000 refugees. The Yellow Turbans basically had no surplus food, and all the captured Yellow Turbans were supplied by the granaries of various villages and towns in Langya.

"Alas..." Xia Xianliang sighed, "Fortunately, I bought a batch of sweet potato seeds. If they are planted on a large scale in May and June, they can be harvested in October, and perhaps the food crisis can be overcome."

"sweet potato?!"

Chu Tian's eyes lit up, this is a good thing.

The ways to increase grain production include improving the rotational farming system, building water conservancy, and applying fertilizers. In addition, it is affected by soil and climate, as well as crop varieties.

With sweet potato seeds, the land of Langya can undoubtedly feed more people.

"How did you get it?"

Chu Tian looked at Xia Liang with hot eyes, what he was looking for was Xia Liang, but the seeds of sweet potatoes.

"A player in the Americas sold it to a player in the Eastern Han region, and then a player in the Eastern Han region sold it to me. My subordinates used the teleportation array to go to Luoyang and bought the seeds of sweet potatoes from a lord of Jiaozhou. The lord of Jiaozhou still has Seeds for new crops such as corn, peanuts, Champaign rice, tomato, etc.”

Xia Xia Liang calmed down, she had actually thought of a countermeasure a long time ago, but just deliberately teased the lord.

Corn, peanuts, potatoes, sweet potatoes, Champaign rice...

Chutian was shocked when he heard the names of these crops.

With these crops, the Eastern Han region could feed twice or twice the population.

Some cold- and drought-tolerant crops do not have high requirements for climate and soil, but new crops from the Americas can be grown in places that are not suitable for growing wheat. In addition, the new crops themselves have large yields...

These new crops are probably the greatest influence the civilization of America has had on the modern world. Their indigenous civilization had little influence, but instead became a colony of the West.

"It's only been a year since the borders of civilization were opened, how could someone get these crops?"

Chutian thought that from the Americas to the Eastern Han region, separated by the sea,

The area of ​​"Lord" has been expanded tenfold, the sea is vast, and it takes an extremely long time to cross the sea.

"There are trade nodes in the lord world, and trade nodes have teleportation arrays. For example, the Straits of Malacca is a world trade node, and Edo Bay is a trade node... The teleportation array between trade nodes and nodes can be used in peacetime. Otherwise, it is only a global trade node. It takes ten years to sail, and no one can afford to sail for such a long time."

"It turned out to be the credit of the teleportation array."

Chutian understood that if he used the teleportation array, he could indeed get crops from the Americas very quickly.

"Where is the world trade node in our Eastern Han region?"

"Each civilized area generally has only one trade node. Because the territory of our Eastern Han region is so large, there are two trade nodes in total. One trade node is the Protectorate of the Western Regions on the land Silk Road, and the other is the trade node. It is the Nanhai County of Jiaozhou on the Maritime Silk Road.”

Chu Tian silently recorded these two places, one was in the west of the Eastern Han District and the other was in the south of the Eastern Han District.

The two places in Chutian could not be in contact with each other for a short period of time.

But in the later stage, the battle of the main world of "Lord" across the civilized area also depends on the gathering of troops in the teleportation array of the trade node, which can be said to be very important.

Chutian can't control the world trade node now, it doesn't mean it's useless in the future...

"In this way, the Protectorate of the Western Regions and Jiaozhou Nanhai County have gained a lot of benefits from the opening of civilization boundaries."

"Yeah. But in the future, once the various civilized areas are unified and go to war, they will bear the brunt. The world trade node will become a springboard for the war between civilizations because of its importance. The national war at that time will be the real national war. "

"You are right."

Chutian's analysis of the cool summer is recognized.

The reason why the world trade node is important is that firstly, there is a teleportation array that crosses the civilization zone in "Lord", and secondly, it is the superiority of its geographical location.

Any place that is eligible to become a world trade node is an inevitable passage between civilizations.

For example, as long as the Strait of Malacca in Southeast Asia is occupied, the merchant ships of all countries passing by will have to pay taxes. Every year, the ship tax alone is enviable.

"You should have bought the seeds of corn and peanuts, right?"

Chutian believed that she would not let herself down.

Sure enough, Xia Xianliang nodded: "All the major new crops in the Americas, as long as they are suitable for planting in the Yihe area, I bought them from the lord of Jiaozhou at a large price and obtained a batch of fine seeds. I spent 5,000 taels of silver for this. This is the account book. "

"5,000 taels of silver... The lord of Jiaozhou's bid is too harsh."

"They used the teleportation array to obtain the seeds of these crops from the American trade nodes, and then obtained new seeds through their own cultivation. They joined forces to form a chamber of commerce to monopolize trade, which is of course expensive. But after we get the seeds, we can cultivate them ourselves. At the beginning of the month, Li Kui was asked to arrange farmers to plant corn, spring sweet potatoes, and peanuts. Wheat and mulberries could be harvested at the end of June, and corn and daylily at the end of August. Autumn potatoes can be planted in January, and wheat can be planted in October…”

Densely listed agricultural arrangements, Xia Liang explained the monthly agricultural arrangements for Chutian one by one.

In addition to crops, it is necessary to build reservoirs, dig drainage ditches, dig wells, collect fertilizers, prevent locust plagues, and arrange farming in rotation...

There are also slightly different types of crops in each county that need to be adjusted. The difference between crops in plain areas and hilly areas is even greater.

In the past, Chutian thought that farming was an easy task, but now, just listening to his subordinates reporting on the monthly farming arrangements is already a big deal.

However, Chutian still grasped the key point. Because of the introduction of crops such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, peanuts, and corn, grains are harvested every one or two quarters. As long as it can be supported for one year and the wheat harvest next year, the food problem can be completely solved.

"Li Kui should be in charge of these farming matters."

"But his knowledge of potatoes, corn and other crops is limited, so his subordinates assist him in completing the first year of farming arrangements, not intentionally overstepping his authority."

"I mean you don't have to overwork yourself."

Chutian is naturally satisfied with the performance of the cool summer. Although Li Kui can bring agricultural bonuses to the territory, he has limitations after all. Li Kui will not think of going to Luoyang to buy the seeds of new crops in the Americas, because he has no idea about the Americas. new crops.

At least for now, Xia Liang has the foresight to spend 5,000 taels of silver to buy the seeds of a batch of American crops in Luoyang to help Langya through this food crisis.

Chutian believed that 5,000 taels of silver was worth the money.

With new crops, a larger population can be fed, giving the entire Eastern Han region a more terrifying potential for war.

Chutian believed that the lords of civilizations in Europe, Egypt, and West Asia should have also managed to get the seeds of these new crops. They may get new crops earlier than in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

"You go with me to inspect the harvest of the farmland."

Chutian took Xia Liang, who was usually a clerk, to inspect the farmland in Xiacheng.

Chutian attacked the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans in the third month of the lord's calendar, and it was already April when he officially invaded Beihai Kingdom, and he faced off against Dorgon in Beihai Kingdom until May, and it was already June when he returned to the division. It happened that the food could be harvested, and the war was stopped at the same time, and the people's hearts were improved.

Large numbers of Yellow Turban refugees were resettled in nearby villages and towns. In order to resettle the refugees, Chutian also specially established 30 villages composed of refugees, each village resettled 5,000 refugees and reclaimed wasteland.

At present, the population controlled by Langya State is about 3-4 million people.

The reason there is no accurate data is that it is too late to count.

Because Chutian implements a policy that is beneficial to players, the proportion of player accounts in Langya Kingdom is not low.

These players regard Xiacheng, Langya City, Xueyue City, and Jucheng as the cities where they live, and the strength of Chutian forces makes them feel safe.

So far, apart from the several battles that broke out when Chu Tian unified the country of Langya, there was generally no war in the country of Langya. Especially after Chu Tian officially became the Prime Minister of Langya, he basically led the war to the territory of other lords.

Compared to the Beihai Kingdom with ten rooms and six vacancies next door, Langya Kingdom is not an exaggeration even if it is called a paradise.

"Do you remember the time of the first epic battle?"

"Of course I remember that the first epic battle was in December of the first year of the lord's calendar. The first national war was from August to October of the second year of the lord's calendar."

"It's June, but the second epic battle has never been announced."

The epic battle and the national war are alternated.

The event in the third year of the lord calendar should be an epic battle in the Eastern Han region, but at this time there has been no announcement.

"Could it be a crusade against Dong Zhuo?"

"Emperor Han Ling hasn't died yet, so Dong Zhuo doesn't dare to enter the capital. But I heard that many players in Guanzhong, Xiliang, and even Hanoi support Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo's power is even stronger. They are playing with fire..."

Chutian was terrified of Dong Zhuo's momentum.

Dong Zhuoxiong of Guanzhong, Xiliang, and other heroes such as Li Ru, Jia Xu, Huaxiong assisted. The most worrying are the players who fish in troubled waters. If they support Dong Zhuo, no one knows whether Dong Zhuo will unify the Eastern Han District.

Chutian finally joined Cao Cao and Zhao Gongzi to beat Dorgon and Wu Sangui, who were trying to rise, and now there is a more powerful army of Dong Zhuo and Xiliang.

Dorgon did not have the Eight Banners cavalry, Wu Sangui did not have the Guanning cavalry, and the Yellow Turbans were in command, so it was easy to deal with.

However, Dong Zhuo commanded the regular army and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. The difficulty was not comparable to that of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army.

No prince would be happy to see Dong Zhuo's troops go out of Hulao Pass and attack Kanto.

Chu Tian also did not want to see a Dong Zhuo who became wise and martial under the influence of the players.

Dong Zhuo has the ability. If he devotes himself to competing in the Central Plains instead of being in a corner, the outcome is unknown.

Xue Rengui was training heavy cavalry in the fifth-level school field in Xiacheng when someone came to visit.

Xue Rengui was a little surprised. Generally, each general has his own task, and he will also have it in private, but not this time.

"Who is visiting?"

"He claimed to be Changshan Zhao Zilong."

"Zhao Zilong?"

When Xue Rengui heard the name, he was stunned for a moment, and then quite surprised.

He rescued this fierce general named Zhao Zilong not long ago near Anqiu County in Beihai Kingdom.

Chu Tian learned that Xue Rengui released Zhao Yun last time, and was depressed for several days.

He had already instructed Xue Rengui that if Zhao Yun came to him to repay his kindness in the future, he must try to keep Zhao Yun behind, even if he used strong means such as ropes and sweating medicine, anyway, just keep Zhao Yun.

What Chutian can't get, don't want other lords either.

Otherwise, who knows how terrifying Zhao Yun is in the hands of a hostile lord.

Zhao Yun's popularity is very high. In the setting of "Lord", high popularity often means that the strength is not weak.

Xue Rengui weighed the importance of training troops and going to meet Zhao Yun.

Because Chu Tian emphasized that Zhao Yun must be kept, Xue Rengui temporarily stopped training heavy cavalry and chose to go to talk with Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun was waiting outside the school grounds. He was eight feet long, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Even if he changed into a commoner, he was still majestic.

Xue Rengui was similar to Zhao Yun, and the two hit it off at first sight.

Xue Rengui is only eighteen and younger than Zhao Yun.

He specially invited Zhao Yun to go to the wine shop and used his salary to invite Zhao Yun to drink hard. Zhao Yun was also a man of temperament and did not refuse.

"My lord has heard of Brother Zilong's reputation for a long time. He often warns me that if Brother Zilong comes to visit, he must introduce him to the lord. If Brother Zilong does not dislike it, why not follow him to visit the lord?"

"There is a grass-roots in the lower district, why did the Prime Minister of Langya hear about the reputation of Xia?" Zhao Yun was a little surprised, but then his expression became sad, "I have no intention of allegiance to the new master for the time being, I am afraid..."

"Brother Zilong's words are bad. The lord just wants to have a long talk with brother Zilong and talk about heroes in the world. It is not necessary for brother Zilong to be loyal. Brother Zilong doesn't need to be under pressure."

Xue Rengui felt like a pimp, trying to lure Zhao Yun to Chutian. After being with the lord and the military advisor for a long time, he gradually learned to use other people's routines. The first one to use was Zhao Yun.
