Huang Yi didn't know how to farm, but he knew that the conditions for rice cultivation were relatively high, so he had no hope.

In spring next year, three acres of corn and seven acres of wheat will be planted in the base area using the seeds brought from across the border.

It will be developed to several thousand acres in the next year. There is no doubt that improved varieties can increase production.

Guaranteed harvests not only solve people’s food rations.

Another big advantage is that the number of cattle and sheep lost during the winter will be much reduced, or even lost at all.

The reason is very simple. The base area is rich in coal resources. Briquette stoves have entered hundreds of households, and people have begun to use coal in large quantities for cooking.

The saved wheat straw and straw can be compacted and tied with hemp rope, or chopped into pieces and stored in sacks.

There was definitely no straw baling machine in this era, and that didn’t matter. Huang Yi could design an animal-powered baling machine. Even if it wasn’t as sophisticated as later generations, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

As long as the volume can be compressed for easy storage and stacking, it is enough!

The main reason why cattle and sheep freeze to death during the winter is that they don't have enough food and lose their resistance. With a feed composed of straw and wheat bran, the cattle and sheep that spend the winter will not lose much weight, so they will definitely not freeze to death.

Nomads are more dependent on nature and climate. What they fear most in the Mongolian steppes is white disasters and black disasters.

Because white disasters and black disasters will definitely cause a large number of livestock deaths, they can also easily lead to the spread of epidemics.

This will lead to an endless cycle and lead to a sharp decline in population.

The root cause of these disasters is that a large number of cattle and sheep froze to death and starved to death, unable to survive the winter safely.

The base area can store as much hay, wheat straw and straw as possible before winter, as well as wheat bran and chaff.

It can completely ensure that the cattle and sheep of herders in the area survive the most difficult winter.

Sheep manure is a first-class natural organic fertilizer.

There are so many sheep on the prairie that policies can be issued to the herdsmen in the base areas to encourage herdsmen to collect sheep dung.

According to the local government, the exchange rate is one pound of wheat for one pound of dried sheep dung eggs.

Sheep manure is a good thing. It can not only be used to fertilize fields and increase yield per mu, but also improve the soil.

In later generations, sheep manure from the Bashang grassland was sold online by the pound, which was much more expensive than wheat.

Not only sheep dung, cow dung is also a good thing. It is not only farm manure, but also fuel.

Therefore, the Han people's development of agriculture on the dam can complement the herding Mongolians, and opening up wasteland for farming outside the Great Wall will definitely alleviate the food crisis.

Moreover, Huang Yi will also increase the planting area of ​​sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn on a large scale.

The "prosperity" of Kangxi and Qian Dynasty, which caused diarrhea due to eating bran, was not caused by sweet potatoes!

People in the base area will not suffer from malnutrition due to long-term eating of sweet potatoes.

Because the staple food here is not only sweet potatoes, but also wheat, millet, highland barley, potatoes, corn, etc. You can also often eat beef and mutton.

The vast majority of officials in the Ming Dynasty focused on uniting the party and opposing dissidents, and on corruption and corruption.

Even Chongzhen hanged himself, and the officials still didn't know how to learn from the pain.

The small court of Nanming, which was in turmoil, was still engaged in internal fighting, and it became more and more intense until the game was over. This shows how insensitive the dignitaries in the late Ming Dynasty were.

Xu Guangqi obviously experimented with sweet potatoes and maize in the north, but the potatoes did not get support and could not be promoted. In the end, they took advantage of the Jiannu who entered the customs and created a "Kangxi-Qianlong prosperous age".

It is said that the reason why high-ranking officials are unwilling to promote high-yielding crops is to better plunder the land of ordinary people.

Because ordinary people who have a stutter will never be able to borrow money at usurious rates, and they will never be able to sell their properties because they need to pay off debts.

Huang Yi did not check whether this inference had any theoretical basis. Anyway, the base area was the newly born political power, and it was the territory of Huang Yi.

Usury will always be banned here, and banks will be opened by the base area government to handle lending in the future.

Government lending cannot be the kind of vampire that comes out nine times and returns thirteen times.

The base area government must severely crack down on any form of usury.

The principle that the people do not hold officials accountable does not apply to loan sharking to make huge profits. Once confirmed, the loan shark will be punished until his entire family is bankrupted.

The borrowing interest rate controlled by the government bank shall not be higher than 1% per month, and the annual interest rate shall be at most 12%.

Anyway, Huang Yi is full of confidence. The base area has the basic conditions for the development of agriculture, animal husbandry, and industry, and it is also close to Zhangjiakou, a commercially developed city.

This land and water support a population of 7 to 8 million people without any pressure.

This is not blind confidence. In later generations, the area outside the Great Wall in the Zhangjiakou area, including the area near Zhangjiakou North in Inner Mongolia, had a total population of several million.

Not only is it self-sufficient in food and meat, it is also exported in large quantities.

As long as the base area has a population of hundreds of thousands, it becomes possible to select and train 20,000 to 30,000 loyal warriors.

There are not too many soldiers but good ones. Soldiers' families work and live in the base area, so of course they can share weal and woe with the base area.

Furthermore, Huang Yi deliberately led the army to implement firearms, and all military logistics support became mules and horses.

Facing the people's army of 20,000 to 30,000 people in the base area with strong mobility and powerful firepower, no army in the world today can shake it.

When Huang Yi arrived, the smoke had cleared from the Hedanbaatar camp, leaving only a mess.

There were several large piles of naked, headless corpses outside the camp, probably numbering in the thousands, and carts full of headless corpses were constantly being pushed out.

That was when Hedanbaat'er knew that Huang Yi could exchange human heads for food and money from the Ming Dynasty, so he ordered his men to strip the enemy corpses of their clothes and armor, and he also cut off the heads.

Upon learning that Huang Yi had arrived at the camp, Hedanbaatar quickly led all the leaders to greet him.

The busy tribesmen also put down their work and rushed to the camp gate.

Many of them have never met Huang Yi, but they often hear Huang Yi's legends.

Many girls used to like to hear the legend of Huang Yi, thinking that Huang Yi was brave and brave, and hoped to marry such a person.

Now that the man in the dream appeared, of course they all rushed to watch.

Huang Yi couldn't be arrogant. When he saw a large group of soldiers and many men, women, old and children coming, he immediately dismounted his horse and walked forward quickly with a smile on his face and clasped his fists:

"Hedan Battertaji, long time no see, I miss you so much!"

Hedanbaat'er's Chinese was a mess and he couldn't understand it at all, but when he heard Huang Yi clearly calling him Taiji, he was immediately excited.

He quickly said in blunt Chinese: "Thank you, thank you Huang Yibatulu!"

Promoting Hedanbaat'er to be the Taji of the Ujimqin tribe is beneficial to the base area.

Whether it can be approved by Lin Dan Khan is another matter. Governor Xuanda can report it to the court and get canonization from the Ming Emperor.

At a time when tribes in the grasslands were seeking refuge in slavery, Hedanbaat'er went against the current, and it was estimated that Geng Raqi, who had facilitated this, could still get some credit.

Those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish.

Huang Yi is destined to cause trouble in the prairie.
