[Notepad opens.]

[202 AD, Jincheng.Qiang and Hu soldiers invaded Hedong County in large numbers and plundered Han people.You were named the General of the Northern Conquest by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty and went to Pinghu, Hedong County.In Hedong County, you killed thousands of Qiang and Hu cavalry. At the same time, you purchased Qiang and Hu heads at a high price, mobilized the Han army around Hedong to encircle and suppress the Qiang and Hu, and wiped out the Qiang and Hu in Hedong.After that, you led your army across the river and went straight to Jincheng, the Qiang and Hu base camp. Using the strategy of siege and reinforcements, you annihilated most of the Qiang and Hu troops and captured Qiang King Beigong Ling.In the end, Beigong Ling led the entire Qiang and Hu tribe to surrender. 】

gold!

Liu Xuan's eyes suddenly shone brightly. After Lu Bu and the great pirate's treasure, another golden entry finally appeared.

And this time it's different. Gold doesn't appear as a question mark. Liu Xuan can save the entry and wait for the right combination.

As the goddess in the hearts of hundreds of thousands of Qiang and Hu people, Beigong Ling is powerful and beautiful. Moreover, she must be extremely smart as she has been able to rule the Qiang and Hu for so many years as a young girl.

It seems like a seedling worth cultivating.

"Package: Hardy Pasture Seeds"

[Successful combination, obtain cold-resistant pasture seeds (blue)]

[Cold-resistant pasture seeds: Pasture seeds that can be planted in cold areas and are not afraid of severe cold. 】

Liu Xuan decisively combined the other two entries. In this case, there are still three word slots left. Even if the new task is completed, the golden entry will not be refreshed.

A hill-like pile of grass seeds appeared in a hidden corner.

Liu Xuan's consciousness suddenly moved, he called out a handful of seeds, grabbed it in his hand, and then called out the seed box that improved the quality.

Place the seeds into the seed box, close the lid and start.

[Notepad opens.]

[The quality of cold-resistant forage seeds has been improved, the yield has been upgraded, the disease resistance has been upgraded, the nutritional content has been upgraded, the growth cycle has been shortened, and the livestock quality has been additionally improved. 】

[The quality of cold-resistant pasture seeds has been improved, and similar items can be rendered. Do you want to render? 】

"Rendering."

With a flash of golden light, all the grass seeds in the space were lifted.

Liu Xuan looked at the words in the notepad, and his Adam's apple couldn't help but move.

This kind of grass, even in the world he traveled to after 2000, would definitely be a major achievement in biology.

It has a short cycle, is cold-resistant and disease-resistant, and most importantly, can improve the quality of livestock.

Isn't this a proper advanced biological project?

With this kind of grass, it may be possible to solve the winter survival problem of the northern nomads.

This time Liu Xuan managed to put down the Qiang-Hu rebellion by killing nearly [-] Qiang-Hu warriors.

Moreover, the mission was accomplished by holding Beigong Ling hostage, but this is definitely not a long-term solution, even if Liu Xuan really kills all the Qiang and Hu people and allows Han people to live in this area.

When the Han people grow up, if the productivity of this area is not enough to support the survival of the locals, they will still have to invade the Central Plains to snatch the means of living.

A new idea was generated in Liu Xuan's mind: he wanted to change the current situation of the Hetao Plain and achieve long-term peace and stability.

[Notepad opens.]

[In 202 AD, Jincheng, you defeated the Qiang and Hu, and Beigong Ling led all the Qiang and Hu to surrender.But you found that the land in the Hetao Plain is not enough for the Qiang and Hu people to live a stable life, so you decided to change this situation. You want the people here to live a life of plenty of food and clothing, and change their livelihood of plundering the Central Plains. Bad habits. 】

[Trigger challenge mission: Long-term peace and stability]

[Mission details: Manage the Hetao Plain so that the Qiang and Hu here will no longer plunder the Central Plains]

[Task reward: entry*2]

Seeing that the task was activated, Liu Xuan became more sure of his idea.

In the Jincheng meeting hall, all the civil and military personnel under Liu Xuan gathered together, and Beigong Ling was also invited.

Liu Xuan got straight to the point: "I would like to inform all officers and men that since the Qiang and Hu have surrendered, they are no longer enemies, and you can no longer attack the Qiang and Hu people."

"Beigong Ling, you have a transcendent status among the Qiang people. I still appoint you as the Qiang King to lead the Qiang and Hu tribes. You can send orders to all tribes. Anyone who is willing to return to the Hetao Plain can return to their original place. All tribes stay in their local areas. It’s up to you to come forward to appease the people.”

Liu Xuan looked directly at Bei Gong Ling and said, "However, you must stay with me, just like before, but you don't have to do the work of a maid. Do you have any objection?"

After Bei Gong Ling surrendered, he never had a good attitude toward Liu Xuan. After all, Liu Xuan was almost an enemy to him who had wiped out his entire clan.

It's just that the order Liu Xuan just issued was goodwill to the Qiang and Hu people. Bei Gongling naturally knew that this goodwill could not come without a price. The price was that she still had to be a hostage by Liu Xuan's side.

Shaking his head gently, Bei Gongling said coldly: "It's up to you."

Liu Xuan automatically ignored Bei Gong Ling's indifference and continued: "But the ugly words are ahead. Your life is still connected with hundreds of thousands of Qiang and Hu people. If you still have any ill intentions, all Qiang people will be harmed." Hu people."

"You!" Bei Gong Ling raised her cold eyebrows and glared at Liu Xuan, but she was met only with Liu Xuan's domineering eyes.

Bei Gong Ling knew that Liu Xuan had completely grasped his Achilles' heel. Although he was unwilling to do so, he could only swallow his anger and reply: "I know."

After arranging Beigong Ling, Liu Xuan ignored her and turned to Jia Xu to make arrangements.

"Mr. Wenhe, how many Qiang and Hu people are there in the original Qiang and Hu territory?"

Jia Xu skillfully spread out the book in his hand and said: "Back to my lord, there are about 15 people in the Qiang and Hu territories concentrated near several cities. There are about 30 other nomadic tribes scattered across the grasslands. The comfort order from the leader of Beigong After the announcement, it is estimated that [-] people will return to the Qiang and Hu territory, totaling [-] people."

Liu Xuandao: "Let's calculate it as 30. In this battle, almost all the young and strong Qiang warriors were killed or injured, and most of the remaining ones were old and young women. They alone cannot survive the winter smoothly."

"Immediately send my order to Huaiyin to transport 30 stones of grain to the west bank of Fenglingdu, and cooperate with the leader of Beigong to distribute the grain to the people of each tribe." "Beigong Ling, when the food arrives, you will organize the tribesmen. Is it okay to receive winter food according to population?"

Bei Gongling was stunned, and subconsciously opened her mouth slightly: "Huh? Oh, okay."

This turn of events was a bit big, and Bei Gongling was suddenly unable to get around it. Just now, he was still acting like a villain, threatening himself with the lives of the tribe's people, but in the blink of an eye, he solved the problem of the entire tribe's 30 Qiang and Hu people surviving the winter.

30 shi of grain, plus the livestock meat that the tribesmen had originally stored. If what Liu Xuan said is true, this will be the richest winter for the entire Qiang and Hu clan since he ruled the Qiang and Hu.

When Bei Gongling thought of this, she couldn't help but feel a little hopeful.

The eyebrows that had been lowered could not help but raise slightly, and glanced at Liu Xuan,
I saw that Liu Xuan was continuing to arrange the next matters very seriously, and almost every step was closely related to the development plan of the Hetao Plain.

There are also some measures and concepts that Bei Gongling has never heard of.

For example, attracting immigrants to work for relief, improving the soil quality of tidal flats, rotating rest grazing methods, etc.

Although Bei Gongling heard it half-understood, seeing that Liu Xuan's subordinates had no doubts, it was obvious that these plans were mature plans for them.

The arrangement work was quickly completed, and Liu Xuan's subordinates took their orders and left, leaving only Beigong Ling and a few guards in the meeting hall.

Liu Xuan stood up and walked out of the hall. At the same time, he said to Bei Gong Ling,
"Take me to the nearest ranch in Jincheng."

Beigong Ling didn't know what Liu Xuan was going to do, but he honestly took Liu Xuan to a pasture outside the city.

It is now late autumn, and the grass in the pasture has long been eaten up by cattle, sheep and horses, and the remaining grass roots have withered and turned yellow, looking a little desolate.

Liu Xuan looked around and saw that the entire pasture covered almost a thousand acres. He couldn't see the edge at a glance, but it almost always looked desolate.

Liu Xuan ordered the guards behind him: "Just turn over this pasture a little and scatter the seeds."

The guards took the order, led hundreds of soldiers behind them carrying iron rakes, and quickly turned over the grass in front of them.Just turning over the soil casually, and there were so many people, soon dozens of acres of land in front were turned over.

Several soldiers carried sacks and sowed the grass seeds in the sacks.

Bei Gongling couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but said: "Winter is about to enter, and the weather is freezing. What's the use of sowing seeds now? They will all freeze to death in the ground."

Liu Xuandao: "Of course when you sow the seeds, they will grow into grass. We will know in a few days whether they will freeze to death in the ground."

He reached out and grabbed a handful of grass seeds from the soldier's pocket and handed them to Bei Gongling, "These are called cold-resistant grass seeds. They are not afraid of severe cold and have a short growth cycle. It is estimated that there will be grass for cattle and sheep without waiting until winter." edible."

Beigong Ling tilted her head and looked at Liu Xuanda in confusion: "How is that possible? I have lived on the grassland for more than [-] years, and I have never heard of such seeds."

"Just because you haven't heard of it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist." Liu Xuan smiled, "So follow me to gain more knowledge. I will take you to Yangzhou to see a lot of new things in the future."

Bei Gongling curled her lips and did not answer, but she was still skeptical about the cold-resistant seeds Liu Xuan mentioned.

This ranch is not far from Jincheng. In the next few days, Bei Gongling will run to the ranch whenever he has time.

After an autumn rain, Bei Gongling came to the ranch again and saw Liu Xuan also there.

Liu Xuan was bent over and squatting on the ground studying something. Bei Gongling quickly walked over and knelt down to take a look. On the moist grass, there were dots of green among the originally withered grass roots.

Bei Gongling was surprised. He stretched out his hand and pulled up a piece of turf and put it in front of his eyes for observation.

I saw that the seeds sown by the soldiers a few days ago had taken root and sprouted.

As the leader of the Qiang Hu, Bei Gongling was very familiar with the growth of pasture. Looking at the growth rate of green shoots and grass roots, it was actually much faster than the growth rate of ordinary pasture in spring.

Is it true, as Liu Xuan said, that these seeds can grow in the cold winter?
I saw that Liu Xuan had stood up and patted the dirt on his hands.

"Okay, no problem. Distribute the remaining grass seeds to various tribal pastures. Plant these first this year, and then increase the planting area next year when the grass seeds are produced. In the future, the livestock on this grassland will not have to starve in winter. "

Bei Gongling followed Liu Xuan back to Jincheng in a state of despair, still thinking in her mind,
"It can't be true what he said?"

If the cattle and sheep on the grassland have enough pasture in winter, why do they, the Qiang and Hu people, need to keep migrating?
The reason why nomads are nomadic is because there is not enough grass in the grassland. After eating in one place, they have to move to another place to graze. In winter, they can only continue to look for grass in warmer places in the south.

No matter what, Bei Gongling still had some illusions about Liu Xuan's words.

A few days later, the messenger came to report,

"The first batch of grain has been transported to the west bank of Fenglingdu, and Xu Hucao and the head of the Shen family have also arrived."

Liu Xuan was overjoyed that the people under his command were able to do things well.

Then he took Bei Gongling and rushed from Jincheng to Fenglingdu.

Jincheng is to the west of the Hetao Plain, while Fenglingdu is to the southeast.

It is naturally a better choice to let the Qiang and Hu tribes rush to Fenglingdu to collect food.

Liu Xuan took Bei Gongling and a group of subordinates to rush to Fenglingdu in a few days, and saw that the place was already busy.

Countless amounts of grain were piled on the carriage, accompanied by many civilians and soldiers protecting the grain.

Fortunately, before this battle, Cao Cao took the initiative to open the door for Liu Xuan. When Liu Xuan's troops transported grain, grass and baggage through Cao Cao's sphere of influence, they did not need to go through customs procedures and had a green light throughout the process.

"Xu Chong, Shen Fu, I have met His Highness the King of Huaiyang." As soon as Liu Xuan arrived, old acquaintances Xu Chong and Shen Fu came to greet him with smiles.

"Excuse me, both of you," Liu Xuan waved his hand and said with a smile, and then recommended Beigong Ling to the two of them, "This is Beigong Ling, the leader of the Qiang and Hu. If you have any questions about the management and development of the Hetao Plain, you can contact Chief Beigong. Cooperate."

After saying that, he turned to Beigong Ling and said: "This is Xu Chong Xuhu Cao, who is very professional in farmland water conservancy. This is Shen Fu, a trader. You can trade with him for the cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock of the Qiang and Hu people." , the price is absolutely fair.”

When Bei Gongling heard Shen Fu's name, her beautiful eyes trembled, and she blurted out: "You are the big businessman Shen Fu? The master behind Jincheng's bank?"

Shen Fu didn't expect Beigong Ling to know him and was a little surprised. However, he had been doing business for decades and had seen all kinds of scenes. He didn't lose his composure. He just laughed and said: "I didn't expect that the leader of Beigong would recognize me, a big businessman." Not to mention, I’m just making a little money with King Huaiyang.”

"Jincheng's bank is indeed managed by people below, but the master behind the scenes is not me."

Shen Fu said with a smile and looked at Liu Xuan, but did not tell Bei Gongling.

It's just that Bei Gong Ling is not a simple person. Just by looking at Shen Fu, you can tell that the master behind this is most likely Liu Xuan.

While marveling, Bei Gongling still said to Shen Fu: "Of course I recognize it. We Qiang people have done a lot of business with Han merchants, and only the Shen family's prices are the most reasonable. It's just that in recent years, the number of livestock purchased by your Shen family has been greatly reduced. , it’s really a pity.”

"Haha, there is no need to regret it," Shen Fu laughed, "No, His Highness the King of Huaiyang personally summoned me to discuss the purchase with the leader of Beigong. The purchase volume and price are guaranteed to satisfy you."
