Yue was deserted, and what Chu really occupied was the area north of Zhejiang (Qiantang River), Guling (now Xiaoshan), Yuji (Yishan), Kuaiji, Juzhang, Zhuji, Yin (now Ningbo), and Wushang (now Yiwu) still belonged to Yue, which was under the jurisdiction of Yuejun Kai.

There are only cities north of Zhejiang, including Wucheng (now Huzhou), Great Wall (now Changxing), Changshui (now south of Jiaxing), Yuhang, Qiantang, Yuqian (now Lin'an), Pingyuan (now Haiyan), Li (now Tongxiang), Chaipi, Xing, Wuyuan, Fuchun (now Fuyang), and Gumi (now Longyou). There are many cities and towns, but in fact, Dingkou is only thirteen or forty thousand, which is the size of two small counties.

Yuedi had many mountains and few lands, but later generations had cultivated land, namely Fuyang, Tonglu, Jiande and Jinqu Basins. Yu Yin Sun Yu thought that the entire Yuedi could withstand 150,000 immigrants (five people per household), and no more would be available. To the south of the river and north of Zhenze, two or three hundred thousand households could be placed, provided that the surround ze is a land. However, these 300,000 households would not be able to collect any land rent within 20 years. Compared with the mature land on the Huai River, the fields in Jiangdong were too thin, and the soil in many fields in Yuedi was red.

The war involves immigration, and immigrants involve food, fodder and shipping, and finally agriculture. Without field, there is no food, and without food, there is no soldiers. The next morning, Yu Yin, the official official of Yu Yin, had already sent people to Jiangdong to investigate, and the atmosphere became a bit cold. Although Xiong Jing had some understanding of the situation in Jiangdong and had taken some measures to make up for it - the Three Valleys of Xizhou and overseas trade, the time was not enough.

The sailboat has not yet been launched, the sailors have not been trained, and the two ships can only go to sea at the end of the year at the earliest. The sailors do not have a one to two years of near-shore adaptation period, so Xiong Jing dare not let them cross the Pacific Ocean. After crossing the Pacific Ocean to the North American continent, they have to travel south along the entire continent - sweet potatoes are produced in Mexico, but corn is in Central America, and potatoes are the farthest, and they have to go to South America. Without five or six years of hard work, if you don’t send several batches one after another, it may be difficult to find these things.

This is the case with the three valleys, and ocean trade also takes four or five minutes to open up. It is not as good as the Americas, and the route from the Yangtze River Estuary to the Red Sea normally takes two years to travel. Moreover, there are many islands in the South Ocean, and the possibility of getting lost is very high. Of course, there are also shortcuts. Before the Polynesians who were amazed by many people, Malay sailors had already crisscrossed the Indian Ocean in the third century BC. They drove a boat tied up by two canoes, ate bananas and coconuts, and used the monsoon on the Indian Ocean to sell cinnamon along the coast of East Africa. They were called cinnamon merchants.

If the Chu merchant fleet could meet these people in the South China Ocean, either by force or by profit, they could use their already formed routes and simple trading stations on the coast of the East Africa to conduct ocean trade. This is not impossible. In the literature that Xiong Jing has read, after Yuezhi was expelled from the Huns to Central Asia in the second century BC (about 174 BC), India, which lost its gold supply (India gold was produced in Siberia and transported from Central Asia), had to follow the Malay route to enter Southeast Asian waters in order to find a new ‘golden land’.

However, no matter how you find a shortcut, it takes at least ten years of long-distance trade, which is almost synchronized with the time to find the three valleys across the Pacific Ocean. Trade does not just obtain huge amounts of gold and silver, but you have to use these huge amounts of gold and silver to buy grain from India or Egypt to transport it back to the end. Even if there are no twists and turns in the trade, there will definitely be twists and turns, and maybe there will be a few battles. It also requires the supply and support of trading stations along the way, and also consider the construction of merchant ships and the transportation volume of merchant ships.

Time! Time! Time!!

Xiong Jing was thinking about one question: time. At this time, a few hens slipped in from the government office of Yu Yin. The chickens were giggling and screaming. The chickens looked sideways at the government officials outside the hall. Without waiting for Sun Yu's instructions, the officials drove them out.

"This chicken is raised by the Yu Yin Mansion?" Xiong Jing asked unconsciously. There are chickens in the palace, but more are birds and beasts.

"Report to the king, that's right." Sun Yu said, "This is a chicken in Lu. The king once asked his ministers to raise chickens and ducks, thinking that they were eating meat."

"Lu Chicken?" In order to let the soldiers eat meat, Xiong Jing's idea was to raise chickens, ducks, pigs and fish, but none of them had any results.

"That's right." Sun Yu said. "Lu chicken is taller than Yue chicken and is good at hatching eggs. Swan eggs can also be used to suck it, but Yue chicken cannot."

"Swan eggs and chicken slap?" Xiong Jing seemed to remember something, but there was still a layer of paper.

"That's right." Sun Yu said: "The chicken porridge is porridge in the first month, and the young chickens come out for more than 20 days, only once a year. The duck is not good at raising eggs, so the duck eggs are mostly chicken eggs. I think..."

"Wait!" Xiong Jing quickly stopped. "Sun Qing said that chickens only boil eggs once a year?"

"King?" Sun Yu looked at Xiong Jing in surprise. He was not a chicken man, he just heard people say this.

"Call the chickens, hurry up and call the chickens." Xiong Jing couldn't sit still. Your mother! You only pick eggs once a year, no wonder there was no meat to eat.

Xiong Jing complained in his heart that in fact, from this era to the Song Dynasty, chickens, ducks and geese were all self-fed, and ducks and geese were very low, so their eggs were mostly replaced by chickens. The so-called "chicken and duck eggs are buried in water" in the Eastern Han Dynasty. This is exactly the case. During the Song Dynasty, an artificial method of hatching eggs with "cow arrows (smoke) out of the old woman" was invented. The cow dung will ferment, and the fermentation heat is enough to hatch a child. In addition to cow dung, there is also a method of roasting fire and finding soup and fire.

"I pay homage to the king." There is a chicken man in the palace, and this guy looks like a chicken.

"Crocks only have porridge once a year?" Xiong Jing asked as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Report to the king, there may be two times, but once more." The chicken man didn't know why the king was not concerned about such trivial matters.

"It's wrong!" Xiong Jing said loudly. "As long as it's an egg, as long as it's... Yang, as long as the temperature is right, it can produce a child chicken. Why can I only boil once a year? How many chickens and ducks can I boil once? Wait..." Xiong Jing waved his hand at everyone, including Yu Yin Sun Yu, and the others hurriedly bowed. "Go to the maid to get a thermometer, put it in when there is a chicken egg, and then find a large jar to make a fire outside the big fire to hatch eggs. Why do you need a chicken to pick it up?"

The mercury thermometer was made, but it was mainly used in medical and industrial production, and never in agriculture. When Xiong Jing ordered, Sun Yu immediately nodded and said that the king knew about it had become a conclusion.

"There are many ponds in the east of the Yangtze River, so you can raise more turtles." Xiong Jing was intrigued. "Chicken and duck can be eaten in half a year without consuming corn."

"I respectfully accept the order." Sun Yu bowed deeply. "After using the method of roasting fire, I should send someone to sell it to the market."

"How about pigs?" Xiong Jing, who accidentally solved the problem of chickens and duck eggs, took the opportunity to ask about pigs. "Sun Qing said that the land in Jiangdong is barren, so why not raise pigs? Pig manure should be a fattening field."

"This," Sun Yu is the Minister of Agriculture. How can he understand how to raise pigs? He had to say: "Please call the king to summon the pig Yin."

"Teng Yin?" There are chickens, and pigs, and pigs, and Xiong Jing never carefully considered the power of officials under his rule. "Summoning Teng Yin."

Like the chicken man, Teng Yin also ran out of the palace and garden. When he saw Xiong Jing, he bowed deeply, "I am visiting the king."

"I ask you, what's the difficulty of raising pigs and pigs in common people's homes?" Xiong Jing was not in the Grand Sima Mansion today. After visiting Yuyin Mansion, he was going to the shipyard for the construction of the mansion, but now he was only delayed by raising chickens, ducks and pigs.

"..." The king asked this question, and Dun Yin really didn't know how to answer. He suddenly thought of only two things and replied: "Report to the king, the difficulty of raising pigs in common people's families is to produce pigs, and the other is that pigs eat human arrows. The family of five people does not have many arrows, so it is difficult to raise pigs."

"Food arrows?" Xiong Jing was slightly stunned. Isn't it a dog eating shit?

"That's right." said the pig. "Pig is raised in the toilet and eats arrows to make a living. In the past, people offered a big pig to King Zhao of Yan to raise it, saying that it was Xiruo. This pig is not a big pig, and it is not a treasure unless it is a big pig. Therefore, no one can bring it, so it cannot raise too much pig."

"Don't pigs eat grass?" Xiong Jing was a little discouraged when he heard this. He remembered that pigs eat feed, and of course some eat pig grass. Why did all pigs eat human arrows two thousand years ago?

"There are some pigs that eat grass, but they should not be raised outside the circle." Feng Yin said, "The pigs enter the wild and should be considered wild pigs."

"Can't you come back from mowing the grass?" Xiong Jing pursued. In addition to the children in rural areas, there are also guys who cut pig grass.

"I don't know." How did the Tong Yin know what happened two thousand years later? He answered a little confused.

"How about pig production?" Xiong Jing thought that it was best to feed pigs with sweet potato vines, but unfortunately there are no sweet potatoes now.

"The birth of pigs is because the mother's mother is unable to get pregnant." Turtle Yin's expression was a little embarrassed. The king was young and did not understand men and women's affairs. He could not explain it clearly. He explained it carefully and violated etiquette. "......, it is not good for wu."

"I understand." It's probably a boar. Pigs are fed after castration. The sows are all breeding. If there are too few boars or the boars are not strong, the sows will naturally not give birth to pigs.

"Go and summon Ma Yin." Xiong Jing waved his hand and asked the followers of the temple to summon Ma Yin.

"I'm visiting the king..." When the people of the roosters and the roosters were already in chaos, the garden was already full of chaos. The people of the temple came to summon Ma Yin, the roosters and the roosters had been waiting in the garden.

"Bu Ning asked you, what happened?" Xiong Jing looked at Ma Yin, his words were very vague.

"Report to the king, it has been done." Ma Yin is a wise man. As soon as the king said that, he knew what it meant.

"Is it feasible?" Xiong Jing asked.

"Report to the king, it's possible." Ma Yin's expression was no longer solemn, and there was a smile on his face. "There are more than a dozen horses pregnant."

"Yeah." Xiong Jing nodded. The two of them were talking about artificial insemination. The climate south of the Yellow River was hot and humid. The stallions were unintentional to mating, and the mares rarely conceived. Since that is the case, then manually operated. There is an ice room in the palace, which can be stored at low temperature for several days. With these days, a stallion can breed mares within a radius of hundreds of miles.

"Can pig be like this?" Xiong Jing asked.

"Pig..." How could pig compete with Ma? Ma Yin looked at Tong Yin with anger and replied helplessly: "Maybe."
