The days of north-south tidal convection are over, and the sea is no longer as raging as it was in previous days.

On the sea, the warship floated calmly.

The sea held the hull of the boat, and the gentle waves washed the boat.

Yang Xiu brought a low table and placed it on the bow of the boat, facing the sea, and he was pouring himself a drink.

"Dezu!" Jia Xu, who had not been up long ago, came to his side with a little tiredness and said, "Drinking alone, but what a different taste? ”

"The benevolent man enjoys the mountain, and the wise man enjoys the water. A wise man is happy with water! Yang Xiu smiled slightly: "Face the sea and listen to the waves." Taste a glass of wine, can there be such a pleasant thing in the world? ”

"Comfortable is pleasant, if there are one or two confidants to talk happily, it is a joy in life!"

"Confidant?" The corners of his mouth hooked up a shallow smile, Yang Xiu looked at Cao Jun on the boat: "Vulgar husband, how can you be a confidant?" ”

Yang Xiu drank alcohol and didn't call Jia Xu.

The four words "vulgar husband", although they looked at Cao Jun's soldiers and soldiers, invisibly implicated Jia Xu.

Jia Xu was not ashamed of this, but smiled slightly and said: "Why don't you slice a few pieces of beast meat on the sea when you drink at sea?" It is also as strong as an empty stomach. ”

"The war is about to start, the piece of beast meat is on it, if the enemy attacks, how can you collect it?" Yang Xiu said: "Sea beasts are rare, how can they be willing to destroy heavenly things? ”

Yang Xiu was open-minded and didn't put anyone in his eyes, Jia Xu already knew.

Cao Cao's mind is also often clear, and Cao Cao is very unhappy.

Therefore, although there are wisdom, they have never been reused!

Jia Xu didn't bother to say more to him, smiled indifferently, and turned to leave.

Yang Xiu didn't keep him either. looked at Penglai with a wine bottle, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a touch of indifference.

Received an order to train troops with Cao's army. Ma Fei and Ma Yi ordered the night spur to prepare and fight at any time.

There was no fighting in the city. Yuan Xu was not as nervous as he was a few days ago.

Although Penglai has been rebuilt into a city, the beautiful scenery of the island is still there.

and Zhen Mi came to a cold pool on the island.

Hantan is located on the inner island of Penglai.

There is a handsome and dangerous peak on it.

The peak is straight and steep, as smooth as a mirror.

The waterfall hanging down from the dangerous peak, like a white exercise, falls into the pool, stirring up a cold splash.

Looking at the turquoise and clear water, Yuan Xu said, "Zhen Ji can sleep peacefully these days? ”

"In the early days, there were constant war drums and horns, and I couldn't sleep well every day." Zhen Mi said: "Recently, Cao Jun has stopped a lot, but he has slept more peacefully. ”

"Cao's army besieged Penglai. It will take a long time to break the siege. Yuan Xu said: "My mother and mother-in-law have never seen such a battle, Zhen Ji must go to say hello more." ”

"Don't worry, Childe!" Zhen Mi responded.

"Why are you here?" Yuan Xu asked.

Zhen Mi shook her head.

"How's the view of Hantan?"

"It's a little exquisite, but it's beautiful!"

Zhen Mi said exquisite, referring to the fact that Hantan is slightly smaller.

Yuan Xu smiled: "Exquisite, this word is well used!" ”

With a blushing face, Zhen Mi bowed her head and said nothing.

"The country is vast, and Penglai is just a corner of the projectile." Yuan Xu said: "I have no intention of conquering the world, but Cao Cao refuses to let us go!" ”

Sighing lightly, Yuan Xu said: "The world is big. Where can there be a place for us to rest and recuperate? ”

"Gongzi is the best among people, Cao Cao is jealous, of course he can't tolerate it." Zhen Mi said: "If the concubine is Cao Cao, she must be jealous. ”

"That's it. Bringing you here just to enjoy the view, nothing else. Yuan Xu said: "You and I only talk about the scenery today. Nothing else. ”

"Childe is not here just to enjoy the beautiful scenery." Zhen Mi said: "The concubine is stupid. Can't figure it out. ”

Hugging Zhen Mi's waist, Yuan Xu smiled and said, "I married Zhen Ji." The mind is seen through. But when you say it, you will no longer hide it. ”

Pointing to Hantan, Yuan Xu said: "The waterfall is endless all year round, can Zhen Ji know why Hantan is dissatisfied?" ”

"I don't know!"

"Reflux!" Yuan Xu said: "The water of the waterfall falls into the pool, and there is a place for the bottom of the pool to flow back. Cao's army has not attacked the city recently, but it reminds someone of something. ”

"Penglai has little land, and the population on the island is not very large at present, so it is still self-sufficient." Yuan Xu continued: "If one day, hundreds of thousands of people gather here, how can they be raised just by the land on the island? ”

Penglai is just an overseas island.

As Yuan Xu said, there is not much land on the island.

Hundreds of thousands of people live on the island, although it is still too spacious, but the food and mulberry hemp are absolutely insufficient!

At that time, if Cao Jun comes again, he will be trapped for three or two months, and Penglai will be chaotic!

"The sky and the sea and the night can not stab more than two thousand soldiers and horses, and dozens of warships dock at the port, just because there is no one to control it, it is useless!" Yuan Xu said: "It is imperative to increase the population and expand the military strength!" I was thinking about how to make the island rich in grain and grass without having to buy it from outside. ”

"Is there a way for Childe?" What Yuan Xu said sounded tantamount to whimsy to Zhen Mi.

An acre of land, when you meet a good year, you can only harvest half a piece of grain.

Based on the calculation of one bucket per person per month, two acres of land are required to make a person eat enough for the whole year.

Penglai has little land, and more than 10,000 people live here and can still be self-sufficient.

If it really gathers hundreds of thousands of people, even if Dong Zheng's caravan transports grain throughout the year, it is not enough to support the island's expenses.

"Intensive farming." Yuan Xu said: "Jiangnan is rich in rice, which is different from millet in the north. It has larger particles and higher yields. If you pollinate different rice, the harvest will be much better! ”

"How does Childe know?" Zhen Mi was stunned.

There seems to be nothing in the world that Yuan Xu doesn't know.

He had never been to Jiangnan, but he knew that rice was abundant there!

"There must be an endless source of water for fine roots." Yuan Xu said: "I'm here with you for this matter!" ”

"What is Childe going to do?"

"In addition to the sky and the sea and the night thorn, there are still men on the island. They were divided into two groups, one to cultivate the fields and the other to dig canals. Pointing to the waterfall, Yuan Xu said: "The waterfall is made of stone as a bucket, leading water into the canal, and the waterwheel is diversion, and there is no shortage of intensive water sources." ”

"Waterwheel?" What Yuan Xu said made Zhen Mi confused.

She didn't know what a waterwheel was, let alone what it was.

However, these words were fascinating to her ears.

Rice was introduced in Penglai to irrigate the fields by diverting water from the waterfall.

If it wasn't Yuan Xu who proposed it, but someone else, just thinking about it, Zhen Mi felt that it was unlikely.

"In a certain year, he ordered Zixiao to recruit women in various places, just to give birth." Yuan Xu said: "But they must not only give birth, but also do something. ”

"Childe, please." Zhen Mi said: "The concubine will be arranged later!" ”

"Digging canals and building waterwheels is not something for women to do." Yuan Xu said: "Zhen Ji can make every family raise silkworms and grow hemp. Grain, grass, and clothes can be self-sufficient, and a certain person can sit in Penglai safely! (To be continued.) )
