Xi Zhicai saw that Chen Yi chose this time, not the political center Jinyang, which he thought of, nor was Shangdang, who had Shangdang and Xihe County, which were not willing to go to now (that is, now Yan'an, Lishi area north to Heilongjiang, Inner Mongolia. Although this place is nominally under the rule of the Han Dynasty, in fact, this place has basically no longer the farming area. According to a rough demographic statistics of the Eastern Han Dynasty that Chen Yi saw on the Internet in his previous life, the total population of the Bingzhou counties in Bingzhou is as follows: Shangdang (Huguan is in Shangdang) 120,000, Taiyuan 200, Shangjun 28,000, Xihe County 200,000, Wuyuan (Jiuyuan also belongs to Wuyuan) 23,000, Yunzhong, 26,000, Dingxiang 13,000, Yanmen 250, and Shuofang 7,000. From these data

We can see that the top three populations are Shangdang, Taiyuan and Yanmen, and the other counties are very different from the populations of these three counties. Chen Yi decided that the total population of the Xihe area in Shangjun was less than 50,000, which is not enough for Yanmen County. So Xi Zhicai didn't understand Chen Yi's idea. Xi Zhicai's idea was that since he wanted to leave and survive well, he would definitely choose a good place. If there was no textual information, then he would naturally go wherever there were many people, because everyone would definitely want to go to a good place? Who knew that Chen Yi actually chose these two places? Xi Zhicai estimated that after this robbery, that kind of place should be without a hundred miles of people and no chicken crowing thousands of miles of chickens. Xi Zhicai really didn't understand why Chen Yi chose such a place where birds could not shit.

Chen Yi looked at Xi Zhicai with a shocked and suspicious face and smiled and said, "Sir, there are many questions. Don't worry. We two are discussing this matter carefully this time, so just ask if there is any problem." Xi Zhicai nodded: "Then I will ask straight to the point, why did the lord choose such a rare place? You must know that tens of thousands of people are scattered on such a huge piece of land, coupled with the robbery of the Huns, Xianbei and Wuhuans, there are still many people in these places." Chen Yi said, "Sir, asked this question."

Yes, this place is now deserted. I heard Cui Hua and the others say that they were able to escape from these two places with people. With our current situation, it is definitely not possible to go to places with many people. As for the reasons, I don’t need to explain it more. The gentleman also knows that those people hate us to the core and think about how to use my head to seek credit. The more people there are, the more people there are, the more likely we are to be exposed. At a critical moment, it’s just a matter of whether these hundreds of us can exert their combat power. Moreover, we hold it in our hands now.

With well-trained border troops, they all licked blood on the tip of the knife and fought head-on with the Huns. With them, we can work hard on these two places now, so we won’t suffer too much, but let the other party take over us. With these people, Chen Yi has the courage to persevere in such a difficult environment. However, Chen Yi has some ability to settle down, that is, his own agricultural knowledge. Farmers’ children still need some knowledge, such as basic, but now it is an epoch-making invention of the curved plow, which seems not too much.

It is important, but in actual use, this can indeed allow Chen Yi to gain a bad geographical advantage that surpasses ordinary people. Chen Yi has hope that he will cultivate grain on barren land that is not inferior to ordinary land. This is Chen Yi's confidence. Self-confidence comes from strength. Chen Yi's strength is naturally the agricultural knowledge he has accumulated for a long time. These agricultural knowledge is stronger than ordinary people, and it is better than millions of soldiers. Yuan Shao's original biggest reason for his defeat was that all the food and grass were burned out by Cao Cao. It is never empty talk before the troops moved.

Isn’t this the best proof? Chen Yi did not expect the problem of food, but he was in a hurry after this. If it weren’t for the unexpected incident between Chen Yi and Wei, Chen Yi would probably have escaped in shame. After making a big statement, he could not successfully solve the problem of food. Chen Yi would have been the only way to be sacrificed by the angry everyone to sacrifice the sky lantern. After all, Chen Yi had no friendship with this group of people before, and angry people who lost their minds would make various unreasonable actions. People in this state would definitely find a scapegoat that can get angry no matter what. Chen Yi, who just arrived here to praise Haikou, was suitable for this but to take the blame. So sometimes life is a collection of accidents.

Besides, the main reason why Xi Zhicai was very unsupported to Chen Yi's plan was because of the food problem. The more sparsely populated places, the harder it was to find food. Chen Yi and his team still had more than 300 mouths waiting for food. Chen Yi was still young and middle-aged men, and the daily demand for food was naturally greater. Even if the basic food rations for each person were included, Chen Yi could calculate the bag with Xi Zhicai. There was no way that people still had a big appetite. Although the food brought by Chen Yi and his team looked amazing this time, they were really divided according to the head. Three hundred

Eighty people multiplied by three daily meals, and by sixty days of usage. Chen Yi now wants to take everyone to follow the trend of their descendants. Let’s eat dirt. This is a feast held by college students in the 21st century at the end of each year. Of course, everyone will enjoy this trend at the beginning of each month and at the end of the month. The magnificent and tragic level is no less than the large-scale military exercises in China around August every year. Chen Yi thought that if he called on everyone to eat dirt now, wouldn’t he be the pioneer and pioneer who was thousands of years ahead of him? Hehehehehehehe—

At this time, Xi Zhicai appeared in time to stop his lord's ambition. Really, the lord seems to be a child. It is obviously a matter of life and death now when discussing the future future, the lord actually had a delusion of a foolish look on his face. It really dragged everyone down. Chen Yi also came back to his senses: "Okay, okay, let's continue to discuss. In short, my plan is to go to Shangjun and Xihe County. After we get there, we can use a large amount of local unowned wasteland to enclose land and farm, just on both sides of the Sheyanshui River (now Wuding River). What's the best place to have a convenient water source?

Used to farm." What made Chen Yi very happy was that the Wuding River at this time was not like the Wuding River he was in. The water volume was uncertain. The severe damage to the vegetation of the Hongliu River in the upper reaches of the Wuding River was only started during the Tang and Five Dynasties. For example, the river valley below Hongshi Gorge was very wide, with scattered water flows and Duoxin Beach. The valley width was 1,500 to 2,000 meters, and the river flood and terraces were developed. It was the main agricultural area in Yulin later. It was also the area that Chen Yi focused on this time. This area not only had irrigation water sources and plain valleys that were easy to cultivate, but also had relatively fertile soil.

Chen Yi was not so stupid that he just thought about where he wanted to live by robbing the things from the nomadic peoples who came here to rob the Han people. No one was doing production by robbing. In the end, everyone starved to death. Chen Yi felt that the stupid places of the nomadic people at that time did not understand this truth at all. The food and people on the Han people were not inexhaustible, but they still needed to work hard every year to produce them. Whenever there was a natural disaster, they wanted to rob others of others. But do you know that there was something called global climate change? At that time, everyone was generally unbalanced and unhappy. Everyone was all

When you are hungry, you always think about snatching to the south. You can still grab Antarctica. So no matter how you say snatching is never a solution. I can only say that wherever Chen Yi goes, to lay the foundation for subsidizing his family income, he must gather refugees, fight against the invasion of the attacking nomadic peoples, increase his own property accumulation, and improve his financial situation. However, just like everyone has been calling for emphasis on agriculture and commerce, agriculture is still the foundation that Chen Yi must focus on. Food is much more down-to-earth than meat, but it is also very good to use other people's hands to develop the animal husbandry industry and let everyone have a tooth sacrifice.

Chen Yi and Xi Zhicai said this: After a detailed investigation, Xi Zhicai came to such a conclusion, so he didn't say anything more. Moreover, Chen Yi didn't say anything because Chen Yi knew that there was a salt official in Wuding River, which was also a very critical hit for Chen Yi to finalize the development of the Wuding River Basin. People cannot live by just eating, but also need a very important thing, that is salt. Salt is something that everyone cannot obtain, otherwise Emperor Wu of Han would not have created the salt and iron official camp. Riots and uprisings about salt were not uncommon in previous dynasties.

Chen Yi is also focusing on the part of the salt managed by the Yanguan. However, Chen Yi has a place that he must take over for his future plans, Hedong Yanchi. As for the key points, we will mention it in the battle to attack Hedong Yanchi later, so I won’t say much about it. After discussing it, the two of them made a preliminary decision to set off for Wuding River in five days. However, as for the end, Chen Yi still did not intend to act arbitrarily and planned to convene everyone to hold a meeting tomorrow before making a decision. As for the reason, one of the reasons is that it is already dark, from 9 to 5, and there are not so many night activities in this era.

If you want to know what happens next, let’s talk about it next time.
