The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 14

[Chapter 14 Mercy]

Seven days after Zhong Yu got the refugee camp, his luck seemed to be good, as if he was favored by the goddess of luck.

In other words, the system knew about his difficulties and specially gave him some care.

The entire refugee camp has a total of more than 1,800 people, which greatly relieved Zhong Yu’s population pressure.

With only 600 people originally, he now has about 2,500 people, and he can start some construction in the territory according to Zhong Yu’s ideas.

First of all, Zhong Yu selected 300 young men of appropriate age from the 1,800 refugees and trained them into a new army.

Train for a rainy day.

In the near future, not even in a few days, his territory will face an army that outnumbers his own and consists entirely of that savage group of barbarians.

Those barbarians hunted all year round, and there were frequent conflicts between tribes. They all had certain war experience, and their strength should not be underestimated.

If you don’t want to be fully prepared, in case your own army is defeated, then the new army formed by this group of refugees.

It will be a life-saving existence, as long as it is firmly grasped, then there will be another chance to fight another war.

Those young adults were selected and handed over to Wang Daniu to take to the newly opened barracks for training.

The military camp was built by the refugees in the past few days. It was very majestic and spacious, including dozens of buildings, including accommodation, training grounds, commanding platforms, political halls, and so on.

An army with a capacity of about 3,000 people is stationed in it.

This is for later, the territory and the population will expand.

The army will inevitably have to expand its recruits, and if it is established in advance, it can be considered a precaution.

After arranging those young and strong soldiers, start to arrange the remaining people, organize them, and carry out the construction and development of the territory.

It is still early spring, and it is time to sow seeds. The plain here is just passed by the river. The land on both sides is irrigated by the river. The land on both sides is very fertile. Addicting.

A family of five needs to consume about five catties of food every day, and on average each person needs one catty.

The population of his own territory will probably increase to tens of thousands in a short period of time, which will consume tens of thousands of catties, or 100 stone of grain, every day.

And because the land here is relatively fertile, the ancient algorithm is the field with high yield.

About one mu of land can produce 3 stone of grain.

If you can harvest two seasons of grain in a year, then you will be responsible for half a year’s grain, which is 18,000 shi.

Within half a year, the population will definitely increase, so I need to increase some grain reserves, at least 30,000 shi of grain.

In other words, within this month, he has to develop a total of at least 10,000 mu of land, which is not a small amount of work.

According to the “Book of Supplementary Agriculture, General Discussion”, “In my field, one farmer can only manage ten acres, so those with a lot of fields are often planted by tenants and charged for their rent. And the densely populated land makes it difficult to obtain land, so It is said in the saying that since the ancient mu was a small mu, ten mu is about 3 mu in the current city mu.

In other words, to plant that 10,000 mu of land, at least 3,000 strong laborers are needed.

However, because now, the young and strong among the refugees have been removed by himself, and the rest are the elderly and weak, women and children, and the population who can participate in farming is about 2,000 people.

If you concentrate them to work together, then with a good water conservancy system, you can barely plant 10,000 mu of fields.

In this way, all the refugees were gathered and divided into groups of 100, a total of 20 groups, with an average of 500 acres of land.

Zhong Yu set up a reward, and the group that completed the task first, after the harvest, gave each person five more grains of food.

And the group that completed the task at the end was fined an additional month of hard labor.

Stimulated by rewards and punishments, the land reclamation work quickly proceeded, but about one-seventh of the work was completed within a few days.

At this rate, it doesn’t take a month, but about 20 days to complete the task.

Maybe we can take advantage of the remaining ten days to open up more fields and grow more food.

After dealing with the internal affairs, Zhong Yu came to the military camp, but not yet.

Not far away, I heard the screaming of the sky, the sound was so loud that the insects and birds flew up in shock, making people cringe for a while.

“Take it, thorn! Take it, thorn! Seriously, it may be very hard now, but in the future these are the skills that can save your life. Lord Lord has a saying: Sweat more in peacetime, and bleed less in wartime. This is You must remember the most wise words.” Under the protection of the four guards, Zhong Yu slowly walked into the noisy barracks.

Looking at the hot training scene in the military camp, a smile slowly emerged. These are the foundations of my future rule and suppression of this place!

Looking at the group of recruits, they were punished by the instructors because of constant mistakes, with a frustrated expression on their faces.

Or he was praised by the instructor for his outstanding performance, and a smug smile appeared on his face.

This kind of energetic spirit makes Zhong Yu keep nodding. An army with soul and vitality is an army with combat effectiveness.

This kind of mental state is good, and when the time comes, they should be able to make themselves slightly satisfied with their performance.

Seeing myself coming to the barracks,

At this time, he was standing on the high platform, commanding Wang Daniu, who was training new recruits.

He quickly got off the high platform, Xiaobu ran towards him, bowed, and slowly reported to himself the training of the recruits.

“My lord, apart from being a little unaccustomed to these recruits for a day or two at the beginning, after a period of adaptation, they have become accustomed to the life of the military camp, and now they have moved in a good direction.” Wang Daniu briefly introduced the current situation of the recruits. .

Then he paused again and said, “Now that some basic queues have been carried out, UU reading www.uukanshu.com battlefield skills training is only a little familiar, but as long as he has him for more than ten days, he should be able to basically master it. In the battlefield, you won’t be too flustered, and your chances of surviving will be greatly increased.”

When Zhong Yu heard Wang Daniu’s report, he pondered for a while: It has been about seven days since the two tribes received the news that they had unified all the small tribes.

They won’t give themselves much time to digest the population they just plundered.

In two or three days at most, they will call themselves. In that case, these new recruits are only half-finished products and cannot play a big role. They can only be treated as consumables.

Thinking like this, Zhong Yu looked at the group of soldiers who were training, and a look of pity and pity flashed in his eyes.

Since he deplores his own small population, it is meaningless to consume like this.

Again, pity the group of soldiers who are full of hope for the future and have no idea of their next fate.

The smiles on their faces were fate’s greatest irony to them.

These thoughts flashed through Zhong Yu’s heart, and they were cut off by him mercilessly.

As a lord who owns a ten-mile land and a population of thousands, he doesn’t need these meaningless pity. Those soldiers can contribute to their great cause.

It is their honor to make themselves kings, emperors, and kings over the whole continent, and it is their honor to boast to all the ghosts in the time after their death.

After all, because they had nothing, they were able to live a few days full of happiness because of their gifts, so what could complain and regret?

For many people, they have been very lucky!

Zhong Yu – “If you gain it by yourself, if you lose it by yourself, why should you hate it”.
