Chapter 32 Population Growth
Inside the Wubao, in the school grounds!
Originally, the trilogy of the clan was practiced here, but now they are busy with this and that, instead of letting the school ground remain vacant, it is better for Li Yao to lead people to use it.

Compared with the simple school yard they built, this school yard is not only spacious, but also has extremely complete facilities.

The ground was bulldozed and compacted, antlers were planted all around, weapons were piled up on the left and right of the school yard, targets and stone locks were placed in front of and behind the school yard...

It is to highlight a profession!
Now Li Yao can claim that he has hundreds of horsemen in his hands, even though all of his guards are under the age of 15.

But it doesn't matter, they will grow up sooner or later, and it is more convenient to cultivate now.

At this time, everyone dispersed, those wielding knives, those wielding guns, and those lifting stone locks to practice their strength...

Horsemanship, archery, riding and archery, these are their most basic abilities, and on this basis, they will also learn other martial arts according to their preferences.

But at this moment, Li Yao galloped over on his horse, turned sideways, drew his bow, took aim, and let go... It can be said that it was done in one go, and then in the blink of an eye, he shot two arrows again.

boom! boom! boom!
Shoot three arrows in a row and hit the target!
Immediately, cheers erupted from all around, and everyone was cheering for Li Yao.

However, Li Yao was very calm and slowed down on his horse, changing from a fast run to a slow walk.

After all, Li Yao's foundation is very good, his father Li Wenhou is a warrior on the battlefield, and he himself can eat a lot of meat, so his physical fitness is definitely good enough.

In order to be able to practice riding and shooting well, Li Yao also worked very hard. At first, he drew the bow thirty times with his left hand and thirty times with his right hand, and gradually increased. Now he drew the bow with his left hand sixty times, with his right hand sixty times, and with his left and right sides 120 times.

Opening a bow is different from swinging a sword. It is a huge test for physical strength, endurance, perseverance... all of which can be said to be a huge test.

You may swing your sword ten times and not feel particularly tired, but you will definitely feel very tired when you draw your bow ten times.

If possible, Li Yao would also like to practice more.

But the reality is that it's simply not possible.

However, Li Yao has already done a good job. Shooting three arrows in succession is the result of his training. At least within fifty steps, there is basically no possibility of missing the target.

But this was not enough, thinking that Lu Bu could shoot a twig of a halberd from 150 steps away, Li Yao's scalp would go numb, although he couldn't be sure if this was real history or a fake romance.

Like the riding bow in his hand, the effective shooting range is only seventy steps, if it exceeds this distance, it will gradually lose its aim.

To reach that level, you first need a good bow, a really good bow handed down from generation to generation, then you need strong arms, even a thin dog may not be able to pull the bowstring, and finally you need talent and hard work.

Not to mention anything else, at least he must reach Lu Bu's level in riding and shooting, so that he can be satisfied.

At the same time, Li Yao breathed out a mouthful of hot air, but in such a cold weather, it directly turned into a cloud of white mist, and only by exercising could he feel a bit of warmth.

"It's been three years in Guanghe, not the second year in Guanghe. This winter is really long. If it doesn't get warmer before March, I'm afraid the spring plowing will be delayed!"

Feeling the cold weather, Li Yao couldn't help but think so.

Thinking of this, Li Yao gradually frowned. After all, it led to the demise of the Han Dynasty. Apart from man-made disasters, it was natural disasters.

Here, the summer is short and the winter is long. In this kind of cold weather, it is difficult for the food grown to germinate. They are planted in spring and harvested in autumn. They can only be harvested once a year. Unlike some areas, they can harvest twice or even three times a year.

If the winter is extended again, only one time is acceptable, but two, three, four times... Not to mention other Qiang tribes, even they will go bankrupt.

Grain income is getting less and less, and food expenditure is increasing. Sooner or later, if things go on like this, they will be unable to make ends meet.

Once that time comes, there is no need for other Qiang chiefs to come and win him over. His father Li Wenhou will also take the initiative to contact other Qiang chiefs and agree to go together to plunder.

After all, people are extremely hungry, and they can do anything. It's not just a rumor.

No one would have thought that this winter would be so long...

It's just that they didn't reach a desperate situation. These Qiang tribes fought among themselves in order to compete for more living space.

Those big Qiang tribes have not attacked this Wubao for the time being, probably because they are concerned about Li Wenhou's reputation.

But those wandering Qiang people didn't think too much about it. Their tribes were wiped out and their properties were taken away. They just wanted to survive, so they acted without any scruples.

Even near Wubao, such thugs have appeared many times. It is really a headache to wipe them out and reappear later.

Now the Clan Central Division leads the patrolling knights, tracking these thugs all day long, and killing them immediately when they find them, it is because they are all busy that Li Yao can lead people to directly occupy the school grounds.

Of course, in addition to this kind of thugs, there are also some family members who dare not plunder wantonly because they have women and children, so they immediately ask for attachment when they come here.

After Zhao Yan gained experience, she also accepted them as appropriate. After all, dragging the family is relatively easier to control, at least she has some scruples in doing things.

This caused the population of Wubao to increase, but the food expenditure also increased. Fortunately, the family has a big business and can support it.

In fact, based on the pastures and livestock owned by the Li family, it is at least a tribe of several thousand people.

But they only have such a small population. Compared with their property and strength, it can be said to be very unreasonable, but they do exist.

All the reasons are on Li Wenhou. As one of the leaders of Yi Cong, he can naturally deter the Qiang people, sitting on a vast pasture and a large number of livestock.

Therefore, accepting these Qiang people can rapidly increase the population and achieve a balance between strength and property. There are advantages and disadvantages, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages!

Finally, the weather finally warmed up, and the time came directly to the end of March.

Spring returns to the earth, and everything recovers.

After a long winter, the food consumption is extremely huge, and the livestock also become emaciated.

Farming and grazing are imminent.

At the same time, thousands of people will be added to Wubao, and the new work arrangement will also increase the schedule.
