Don't run away, lady: pick up a witch to farm

Chapter 15 Decentralization
"Dig the ditches, don't be too nervous, I will ask people to pay the wages, and I will release people back when the farming is busy. You can also send your family members to visit, it's on the wasteland side." Yao Yun looked up at the village head and said calmly. .

"I think you also know who I am. After all, it's no secret in Nanhuang."

Yes, everyone in Nanhuang knows that the current manager of Nanhuang is King Xianyun, who is only three years old. No need to pay tribute, not to go to Beijing.Everyone knows that Nanhuang is ruled by King Xianyun.

A year ago, Concubine Shugui gave birth to twins for the emperor. The second prince Xianyun King who was far away in the southern wasteland had completely lost power. The royal family no longer paid attention to it. The salary was paid to King Xianyun, and the national treasury would pay back every year, so it was simply given to Yaoyun directly, and Yaoyun was left to fend for itself.

When the imperial decree was in Yaoyun's hands, Yaoyun immediately accepted everything in Nanhuang, rearranged the people sent by his grandfather to the outside, collected all the materials, and then arranged a series of management regulations to manage Nanhuang with full power.

Yaoyun's regulations are humane, which gave the cautious people of the southern wilderness a glimmer of hope. People who lived here for generations did not want to leave their homes. Everyone saw hope and became more content with the status quo.

The people in Nanhuang had joy on their faces, but Yaoyun was not satisfied. Now that the whole Nanhuang belongs to him and the imperial power no longer interferes, Yaoyun began to show his hands and plans step by step.

Yaoyun wants to develop Nanhuang, so that everyone dare not underestimate Nanhuang, turn Nanhuang into a rich and small country, and make the imperial power far away in the capital completely unable to control Nanhuang and control itself.

"Little old man, pay my respects to King Xianyun." Yaoyun didn't reveal his identity before, so the village chief couldn't expose him, but now that he has been exposed, the etiquette is naturally indispensable, so he immediately got up and knelt down.

"Village chief, get up, I have something to tell you, don't be restrained."

"Yes, my lord, you said, the little old man will answer every question."

"According to my research, there are about 400 million hectares of grassland outside, which is very vast and relatively flat, right?"

"Returning to the prince, in fact, it is only half of it. Half of it is covered by tall weeds, and the trees are constantly growing outwards. It is impossible to measure the exact size."

Half of it is not too small. It is impossible to use plowing as arable land, but not only arable land can be used. Yaoyun’s idea is to dig canals to release water, first make pastures, and then slowly push in, and then plow the outside for planting crop.

There are plenty of aquatic plants, so grazing is the most suitable. Snakes, insects, rats and ants can be cleaned up with drugs. Of course, if possible, Yaoyun does not want to use the method of killing and looting. Since he can understand animal language, Yaoyun hopes to find a suitable method to let them Animals that do not need to be strangled are expelled to find a suitable place to live.

The most important thing in the swamp is water. The area that can be drained is actually only 100 million hectares according to the budget. It will take about half a year to a year to drain the water, and it will definitely take two to three years to complete the digging of canals and lakes.

Therefore, Yaoyun thought of aquatic crops, using the original aquatic edible plants in the swamp, planting them on a large scale, and using local materials, so that the people here would not be unable to persist due to food during the two or three years of development, resulting in All previous efforts were wasted.
