Crushed leaves.

"No courtesy, all well done!"

In the lobby of the Hezhong Economic Envoy's Mansion, Yang Feng sat on the bearskin throne and looked at the subordinates who were worshipping in front of him and said.

These people are doing a good job.

In the days when he left, everything here was in order, of course, this also had a lot to do with the presiding of the wife of the envoy, as for Duan Xiushi, he had already left after learning that Yang Feng was appointed as the envoy of the river envoy, after all, this place is no longer subordinate to the envoy of the Anxi Festival, so it is not appropriate for him, the judge of the Anxi Festival, to be in charge here, everything here is presided over by Li Xiu after he left, and Li Xiu, who grew up in the Western Regions with Li Siye since he was a child, still has some management skills.

During the year, everything was normal with broken leaves.

First of all, there was a bumper grain harvest.

It is extremely abnormal to grow food in this place without a good harvest, fertile land, abundant water for irrigation, and more abundant sunlight, it would be strange if crops did not grow.

The largest granary of the Soviet Union!

Little Russia's grain production is not as good as that of Kazakhstan.

However, because there is no corn at this time, and the climate is not suitable for rice, so the grain of broken leaves is mainly winter wheat, soybean and millet, just after harvesting wheat and planting the last two, as for other food crops although they are also planted, they can not be regarded as staple foods, staple food is these three, especially winter wheat has become the first major food crop here, which even exceeds the mainland, and the winter wheat in the mainland has not ranked first, and it has really ranked first in the Ming Dynasty. The main cash crop is cotton, although the cotton seed is still not good enough, but it is enough to spin the old coarse cloth and fill the cold clothing, especially the old coarse cloth produced by the broken leaves, which has even begun to appear in the interior, and now the families of the three thousand veterans of the Broken Leaf Army, almost every household has a spinning machine and a loom, and the robbed Hu girls happily weave and farm, and go all out to give birth to children for the men who robbed them back then.

And then there's the grapes.

Because of the climate, sugar cane is certainly not possible here, sugar beet seeds have just been stolen by the Hu merchants for a lot of money, but they have not yet been produced on a large scale, this kind of thing is native to Europe, and the Great Food and Persia have only just begun to be cultivated, so grapes are an important means of supplementing sugar.

Similarly, the wine industry is very prosperous.

While the women weave and farm, their men are mainly engaged in industry.

The steel industry is still the top priority of Broken Leaf, and by this year, there will be no iron smelting on the grassland, and all the iron tools of all the herdsmen in the entire land of Seven Rivers come from here, and the ordnance warehouse of Broken Leaf has piled up a full 10,000 sets of Mingguang armor, and there are countless excellent Mo knives, horizontal knives, horses, battle axes, and crossbow arrows, even Yang Feng's recruits have all arrived now, and they can all be armed in an instant.

Other industries such as salt, ceramics, glass, bricks and tiles are equally prosperous.

Even cement is produced.

And more importantly, a small coal kiln was developed on the south bank of Atashi, of course, this small is in Yang Feng's view, in fact, it can be called a huge mine in this era, especially important is that this coal mine is on the shore of Atami, although the difficulty of underground mining is relatively high, but the mined coal can be directly transported to the wharf on the shore of Atami, and then transported to the west bank by boat, and then transferred by horse-drawn carriage to the bank of the Chu River more than ten miles away until it is transported down the river to Broken Leaves, and now thousands of prisoners of great food are bleeding, tearing and sweating there with shackles, Contribute to the broken leaf economy.

Although the yield will not be very high, it can also alleviate the lack of charcoal, especially for brick kilns and ceramic kilns.

On the contrary, iron smelting is not used for the time being.

Although coke iron smelting represents the future, at this time, Yang Feng still prefers to use charcoal to ensure the quality to the maximum, after all, the problem of sulfur is very troublesome to solve, and what is the backwardness of charcoal iron smelting? In the seventeenth century, Europe's global footsteps were supported by charcoal iron smelting in the back, and coke iron smelting was in the eighteenth century.

In addition to industrial agriculture, animal husbandry flourished in this land.

The surrounding grasslands that have not been developed due to lack of manpower are full of cattle, sheep, horses, and camels, of course, most of them are out to grab them, but regardless of the source, it is a fact that the number of various types of horses owned by the cities of Broken Leaf exceeds 50,000, and meat and milk have also become one of the staple foods of the cities of Broken Leaves. The next step is to develop a thermometer, and then engage in pasteurization, which is not only milk, but also the storage of wine, in fact, Pasteur invented this technology for the purpose of better preservation of wine, but this is definitely not possible without a thermometer.

Even because Yang Feng prefers pork, there are still a large number of pigs grazing in the nearby forests.

Don't underestimate this change.

In the Middle Ages, Europeans actually lived by herding pigs in the forest, especially in England, the main food of the ancient English people was those pigs covered in feces and arching around in the forest, including Germany, and they were all not castrated, which is probably an important reason why they worship spices so much.

Pig herding means that ancient forests, which used to be difficult to provide for people in large quantities on a sustainable basis, have suddenly become an important source of food.

The prosperity of agriculture and animal husbandry, so that the cities to which the broken leaves belong, have truly achieved food and clothing, and this kind of happy life that people have pursued for generations has also made this paradise a whole, Yang Feng stands at the peak of the pyramid, and below him are those battalion commanders, these battalion commanders are military and political, they are county commanders, and the directors of important factories are like Yang Feng's tentacles to complete his orders, and under these people are those soldiers, at this time it is not only the initial batch, but also two thousand recruits, That is, Nan Jiyun and Xie Xiong brought it, and there were also selected from the exiled prisoners, in fact, the total strength of the Hezhong Army had reached 7,000 at this time.

These 7,000 soldiers all have their own families, and even if there is no woman after becoming a soldier, they will be matched with a woman by the envoy of the Economic Strategy.

Their women and children and the exiles who did not become soldiers were at the bottom of the pyramid, responsible for farming, weaving and herding, working as grassroots workers in the factories, and of course, the 7,000 soldiers would also participate in production when they were not training and fighting, after all, the population here was still too small. As for those slaves, they are nothing, at most they are just mud under the pyramid, and they are all involved in heavy work such as mining, rowing, and charcoal burning, because they are afraid that they will escape, and in fact many of them are working with shackles.

This is the current broken leaf.

It's hard to describe the system exactly, but if anything, it's much like the pre-Civil War American South.

Democracy is there here.

The internal affairs of the cities were settled by the soldiers who were citizens in nature.

After all, Yang Feng almost didn't care.

And the battalion commanders he appointed, in fact, the vast majority of them were from the lowest level of soldiers, and the reason why the soldiers they managed obeyed them was only because they were appointed by Yang Feng, but they themselves did not have any authority, there was neither a nobleman nor a family here, everyone was equal from the beginning, of course, it was all the soldiers, so everyone must discuss something.

This is also what Yang Feng encouraged.

Slavery is also present here.

Yang Feng even encouraged the use of slaves, his only restriction was that Han Chinese were not allowed to be slaves, and all large slaves had to undergo surgery, and the Zoroastrians were not obligatory, of course, if the master wanted to do so, they were free to do so.

Feudalism must be here as well.

There is also an industrial society here, an agricultural society is also here, and nomads are also here, all in all, this is a freak, a freak under the control of Yang Feng, if there is no control of Yang Feng, it is indeed difficult to say what this freak will do, but as long as it is under the control of Yang Feng, this freak is a powerful regime, a regime full of aggression and expansion, the desire to grab money, women and livestock flows in the veins of every man here, after all, everything they do is mainly robbed, Whether it was their women or their slaves and money, it was mainly from foreign plunder.

At this moment, all the generals were staring at their marshal.

What does it mean for Yang Feng to come back?

It means that there is a battle to be fought!

If it weren't for the war, how could their festival commander rely on a bustling city like Chang'an not to run back to the broken leaves, and he came back specifically in winter, everyone knows that spring, summer and autumn here are good times, but winter is the most boring.

It's even dripping into ice.

Although it is not said that it is too cold to go out, when the northwest wind blows, the snow covers the grassland, and the ice freezes the river, the only fun in this land is probably to lie on the kang and do sports.

Compared to the warmth of Chang'an, the winter here is not very attractive.

He didn't come back when he was good, but he came back when he was most boring, because all work stopped in winter, even the steel mill was semi-shut down because the river froze and the hydraulic machinery was stopped, and even the salt works and coal mines were also semi-shut down because the water transportation was cut off, so it can be said that the vast majority of people were idle. And being idle means that it is time to go out and engage in side jobs, or rather, it is time to go out and rob, and not only they are idle, but their accomplices and minions are also idle, from the foot of the Golden Mountain to the banks of the Wuhu River, all those Turkish herdsmen, those Sogdians, those Tocharians, all end their busy lives and turn to a state of idleness.

And after last year's carnival-like southern expedition, everyone was also looking at Broken Leaf City and waiting for that exciting moment.

"Are you all idle?"

Yang Feng sat on the bearskin throne, just like Liang Jiahui's version of the mountain carving, and said with a rebellious face.

"It's all idle!"

The officers said in unison.

"Then blow the whistle, call people, and the time has come to go south to herd the horses."

Yang Feng slapped the table and stood up and said.
