Dominate Marvel

The five sub-items under Yuan Fu cannot be seen for the time being, and they are a bit mysterious. But under the heading of "Yuanqi", the ten words "military" and "civilian" made Ying Yi's imagination run wild. The current military and civil affairs are in dire straits. If the literal meaning is correct, it is just a pillow for those who feel sleepy.

It was so late at night that Ying Yi couldn't go back and disturb Zheng Yunzhi. He just went back yesterday and then went back in the middle of the night. It wasn't like that. Xiao Xiao is now a leader-level figure, and Ying Yi is not a young man, so he still has some composure.

You can wait overnight, but you can't wait longer. Early the next morning, Ying Yi left the army training matters to his two thousand-household officials as usual, and immediately set off into the mountains to the Crescent Valley.

He had come back the day before and came back the next day. The scholar thought there was something important. When he asked Ying Yi, he found out that it was for a book, which made the scholar speechless.

"You go about your business, I'll go see my father-in-law Taishan."

"I happen to be traveling with you, sir." The scholar smiled and said, "I would like to ask the county magistrate for his opinion on raising livestock."

Ying Yi nodded: "Then let's go together."

The two of them arrived at the county magistrate's house.

Zheng Yunzhi's family was having breakfast. When she saw Ying Yi arriving, Zi Niang uttered an ouch and hid in the inner room. Mrs. Li and Zheng Yunzhi's concubines both chuckled.

Zheng Yunzhi asked curiously: "I heard that you left the mountain yesterday, why are you back today? Is there something urgent?"

Ying Yi bowed and said, "It's just one thing, and it's not a big deal."

"Sit down and eat together." Zheng Yunzhi waved her hand.

Ying Yi was not polite, he didn't eat it anyway, but the scholar smiled and said: "My subordinate has already eaten it."

Zheng Yunzhi did not force the scholar, so he asked Ying Yi: "Why are you running so diligently?"

"I want a book. After thinking about it, I think only my father-in-law has it." Ying Yi took the bowl and chopsticks handed over by the maid and said with a smile.

"Oh?" Zheng Yunzhi was surprised and said, "You run so hard just for a book?"

Ying Yi nodded: "I Ching, my father-in-law should have this copy, right?"

Zheng Yunzhi laughed: "I thought you wanted some book. I have the Book of Changes, but it's not here."

Ying Yi was startled.

Zheng Yunzhi said: "When I left in a hurry, I didn't take away many books in the study, so I simply put them in the grain cellar. Didn't you see them when you were picking up the grain?"

When Ying Yi heard this, he thought that when he was getting food, he actually saw a pile of books in a corner of the cellar. I didn't care at all at that time. I couldn't eat or use it, so I just ignored it. I didn’t expect to need it at this time, but it was not at hand.

He smiled helplessly: "At that time, I only cared about food and supplies, but the pile of books is still there."

Zheng Yunzhi said: "If you want it, go get it yourself."

Ying Yi nodded.

After the meal, Xiucai discussed breeding and planting with Zheng Yunzhi.

Raise six livestock and plant thorn vines. Planting thorn vines is easy, just organize the manpower, collect the seedlings and find the land, and just circle one type. The difficulty in breeding is to urge people to breed. It’s not difficult to grow yourself, just like growing thorn vines. But if you want the people to follow and support you, you have to say something.

There isn’t enough food for people right now, so who wants to raise more animals?

Although Ying Yi proposed the method of stocking, people still hesitated after all. The world is not good, and people are more hesitant than in peacetime.

"The people of Crescent Valley eat all the food they bring with them." Zheng Yunzhi said: "If you ask them to raise a large number of livestock, of course they will not do it. Unless they bear the food consumption, it will definitely not work."

The scholar said: "This subordinate is troubled by this. I wonder if the county magistrate can do anything about it."

Zheng Yunzhi glanced at Ying Yi, twisted his beard and said with a smile: "You are too hasty in doing things. You have to do everything at once, and sometimes you are asking for trouble. You have to look at the order and timing of doing things. Let me ask you, do you want to breed? , not only do people need to raise them, but you also want to open a breeding farm. Where are the cubs of the six domestic animals? Are there so many?"

The scholar was startled and shook his head: "No. My subordinates have investigated and found that in the entire Crescent Valley, the total number of pigs, cattle and sheep does not exceed one thousand. There are more chickens and ducks, not more than two thousand. The number of pigs, cattle and sheep's cubs is less than two thousand." One hundred. There are less than five hundred chickens and ducks, but we can collect a lot of eggs."

"That's right." Zheng Yunzhi said with a smile: "Let me ask you again, how many of your breeding farms are you planning to raise at one time?"

The scholar smiled bitterly: "It seems that my subordinates are too impatient. Naturally, my plan is to have more, the better."

"So there is no need to rush." ​​Zheng Yunzhi said: "Buy all the cubs first and raise them yourself first. Don't worry about the people. They have to live by themselves counting grains of rice now and have no energy to take care of livestock. Wait for the opportunity in the future. When it matures, you can just let the people breed it. Of course, you can also use silver as an inducement, how much a pound, how much an animal, and buy it with a clearly marked price. When the people see that it is profitable, you don't have to encourage them, they will do it themselves It can be done. But there is a prerequisite - money can be spent."

At some point, Ying Yi had left.

With Zheng Yunzhi taking care of things in Crescent Valley, most of the problems can be solved without any need for Ying Yi to keep an eye on them all the time.

When he returned to Xiaowangzhuang, Ying Yi did not stop. He said something to Zhou Li and Zhu Bingkun, and then left for Ye County.

The weather is not very good, it has been cloudy these past few days, and I don't know when it will rain. Ying Yi walked alone in the wilderness, lonely and empty.

It seems unhurried, but it is faster than a galloping horse.

With a gentle push of his feet, the person was one or two feet away.

"I Ching..." Ying Yi looked relaxed.

In the middle of the journey, several horses were galloping in front of him. Ying Yi took a closer look and saw that it was Ye Buzui under his command.

When the scouts saw the figure from a distance, they were very alert. They drew their swords and quickly gathered around them. When they saw it was Ying Yi, they breathed a sigh of relief: "Sir!"

Several people got off their horses.

Ying Yi waved his hand: "You are so anxious, is there something wrong?"

The leader said: "Sir, the little people noticed something moving in the north."

"Oh?" Ying Yi's eyes lit up: "But the additional troops sent by the bandits have arrived?"

The scout shook his head: "I didn't see a large group of soldiers and horses. They should be the vanguard scouts. The few villains did not confront them and quietly avoided them."

Ying Yi nodded: "There is no need to fight at this time, the main thing is surveillance. Vanguard scouts... It seems that the additional troops sent by the bandits are about to arrive. You guys go back to Xiaowangzhuang quickly and tell Zhou Li and Zhou Li about the matter." Zhu Bingkun, let them be prepared."

"Yes, sir!"

After the scouts left, Ying Yi continued to Ye County.

"I didn't expect the intruder to come so quickly." He thought secretly: "We just talked about this issue last night, and there are traces today. It seems that the intruder has the current climate, it is not a fluke. Maybe he also considered Shaanxi In terms of soldiers and Baoding soldiers..."

"I just don't know how many more people will be sent..."

Looking at the empty sky, Ying Yi took a breath and strode towards Ye County.

Ying Yi picked up the speed and quickly arrived at Ye County.

More than half a month has passed, and Ye County looks extremely dilapidated and vicissitudes of life. No matter where it is, once it loses its popularity, it will soon fall into decline. And if it is popular, no matter how simple it is, it will give people a different feeling.

Entering Ye County, opening the cellar, Ying Yi stooped and walked in.
