The Invincible Summoning of the Three Kingdoms

Chen Taishou obeyed his words, and finally the two unified their opinions.

Afterwards, they realized that to improve Huaicheng's strength, the top priority is the food issue.

But to get enough food and cultivated land is not a problem of course.

Now there is chaos in various places, and around Huaicheng, there is a lot of abandoned farmland.

The number of people is the crux of the matter.

Although there are frequent wars now, and the people often move their families and do not want to produce, as long as the policy is appropriate, the population is not without the possibility of growth.

Now there are many refugees in various places, and most of them are living in hardships, and they are all good laborers.

But how to attract them here?Prefect Chen frowned.

Liu Rui immediately offered suggestions, saying that it is not difficult to attract refugees to settle in Huaicheng, as long as the following points are required: the situation in Huaicheng is stable, and the farmers who come to farm the land have housing and food.

The most important thing is to have an attractive farmland policy.

Liu Rui introduced Zhuge Liang's field system to Chen Taishou and won his full support.

Soon after, a simple and easy land policy was formulated to encourage the displaced people to come to Huaicheng to farm as soon as possible.

The field system originated in the Han Dynasty. After Zhuge Liang perfected it, it is now more in line with the reality of Huaicheng.

Chen Taishou handed over everything to Liu Rui, gave him great authority, and allowed him to recruit troops in Huaicheng to expand his troops.

Liu Rui, Zhuge Liang and others immediately started to act.

The prime minister is to promote the field around Huaicheng.

It's winter now, and it's a time when food and clothing are lacking. As long as the propaganda is done properly, a large number of refugees will soon be willing to defect.

When the spring of next year begins, the idle land around Huaicheng will be the best granary.

He did what he said, and Liu Rui gave Zhuge Liang full responsibility for this task.

Zhuge Liang soon formulated various policies on the settlement of fields. The government organized cattle farming, and according to whether the official cattle were used or not, the farmers of the fields and the government distributed the harvest in different proportions.

Farmers in the field are organized according to the military establishment and managed by officials. The field system is the most effective way to solve the problem of food and grass supply for the army. It can be used for production training in peacetime and can be used as soldiers in wartime.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao took the lead in implementing the field system in order to supplement the shortage of military supplies, which laid a solid foundation for Cao Wei's strength and unification of the north.

When the spring of next year begins, the refugees will reclaim nearly one million mu of arable land around Huaicheng, and the harvest will be harvested next autumn, which is worth looking forward to.

Once the news of Tuntian came out, it soon attracted a large number of refugees to defect.

After Zhuge Liang sorted out everything in the field, he left everything to Jian Yong to take care of it.

……

In the blink of an eye, the east goes to the spring.

Zhuge Liang organized the transformation of farm tools, digging canals in Huaicheng, and taught farmers new farming methods.Then hand over these to Jian Yong.

After completing these tasks, Zhuge Liang started the research and development of new weapons.

One day, Zhuge Liang ordered Liu Rui to be invited to the shooting range of the experimental weapon.

After arriving at the shooting range, he found that Li Guang, Yang Zhi and others were also there, and Liu Rui couldn't help but feel a little strange.

After seeing Liu Rui, Zhuge Liang saluted with a smile: "My lord, I'll show you something good!". ,,.

1110: Zhuge Crossbow

"What good thing?" Seeing his mysterious appearance, Liu Rui's curiosity was immediately seduced.

Zhuge Liang smiled without saying a word, and as soon as he waved his hand, a pair of bows and crossbows were presented by his craftsmen.

"Look, my lord, this is my newly developed crossbow."

Liu Rui's eyes were immediately attracted by the bow and crossbow.

Liu Rui knows the ordinary crossbow, but this crossbow is clearly different from the ordinary crossbow!

Liu Rui noticed that the crossbow slot is a fully enclosed structure. If you look at it from the outside, you can't see the inside structure at all.

Looking at the repeated crossbow in front of him, Liu Rui's heart was shocked, and he immediately lost his voice: "Is this crossbow the legendary Zhuge repeated crossbow?"

For Zhuge Liannu, Liu Rui, who is familiar with history, still understands it.

Zhuge Liannu is a kind of repeated crossbow made by Zhuge Liang of Shu during the Three Kingdoms period. It is also called Yuan Rong crossbow. It can fire ten arrows at a time. Defend cities and camps.

Ma Jun, a great inventor of Wei at the end of the Han Dynasty, wanted to improve it and make it a fifty-bow arrow with more power. However, because the production is very complicated, the arrows used must also be specially made, so they were not mass-produced and were later lost. .

But the crossbow in front of me doesn't seem to be the same as the one described in the history books!

Not only is it small in size, but it is not very heavy when weighed, so it can be used by a single soldier.

Seeing Liu Rui say the name of the crossbow, Zhuge Liang was no longer reserved, and immediately replied: "The lord is really wise, this crossbow is indeed a continuous crossbow, and it has not been named, if the lord uses my name Liang is honored to be named."

At this moment, Li Guang, who was beside him, picked up the repeated crossbow and said to Liu Rui, "My lord, let me show you the power of this crossbow first!"

After all, Li Guang moved the crossbow machine with his hands.

Whoosh...

I saw that the repeating crossbow in his hand was like a jet of machine guns, and it spit out a dozen crossbow arrows in a row, and the force was quite strong!
