Liu Bei's information was indeed well-informed. Jian Yong asked about the materials for forging the magic weapon. Liu Bei told him three pieces of information that he knew. After Zhou Tai heard the information, he wanted to look for it now.

If they find the materials now and quickly send them back to Qilin Villa, they may have time to forge them before they go to Xiandu County. I don’t know what the situation will be like when they get to Xiandu County. Having the magic weapon Zhou Tai’s combat power will be greatly improved, Liu Xin

He gave Zhou Tai 2,000 taels of gold and asked him to personally go to the three addresses given by Liu Bei to look for meteorites.

In just over ten days, Zhou Tai came back. He drove a carriage or two to bring back the materials for forging the magic weapon, and the forging master was also found.

After Zhou Tai learned [Panlong Double Halberd], he decided to use double halberds in the future, and Liu Xin also wanted to use double halberds.

According to his own strength, Zhou Tai's double halberd weighs 31 kilograms each, which is the most suitable weight. In this way, a short halberd is about one foot long. Zhou Tai used the iron halberd to confirm everything, and asked the forging master to make it in the east of [New Town].

The blacksmith shop on the side forged it for him.

This time, Zhou Tai brought back more than 200 kilograms of materials, and the 2,000 taels of gold were spent cleanly. Fortunately, Liu Xin had no shortage of money in the village now.

The remaining materials were finally given to Liu Xin to forge a magic weapon. Liu Xin tested the euphorbia weighing 26 kilograms each and found it to be the most convenient for him, so he also asked the master blacksmith to forge a magic weapon for him.

Liu Xinjian still had plenty of final materials, so he forged a 72-pound sword for Guan Hai, but all the materials were almost used up.

On the 19th day of the first lunar month, Zhou Tai told Liu Xin that the copy of "Coiling Dragon's Double Halberd" had disappeared again, and Liu Xin gave him another copy.

He wants to leave himself 11 books to upgrade [Coiling Dragon Double Halberd] to the highest level, and there are still five books that are just enough for Zhou Tai to upgrade to [Enter the House]. The rest is up to Zhou Tai himself.

By the end of the first lunar month, Qilin Villa will be preparing for spring plowing.

Liu Xin received a total of 310,000 shi of grain in four months last autumn, and now he still has 230,000 shi, of which he used more than half of the sweet potatoes, which were cooked and sold or ground into powder and sold directly.

Millet is not used much, half of it is fed to chickens and livestock. There are not many people eating corn in Luyin Township now. Everyone basically starts to eat wheat. From then on, the food is no longer visible on the faces of the people, and every family has no food.

Worry about food again.

The main reason for consuming so little food is that there are plenty of eggs in Luyin Township. An egg only costs 10 yuan, and most families can afford it. In addition, the soldiers eat a lot of eggs and meat, and the entire food consumption in Luyin Township is also low.

Not too big.

Zhou Tai discussed with his retainers that Qilin Mountain Villa has enough food. This year, the planting of sweet potatoes will be reduced and the planting of corn will be increased. All the cultivated land outside the foot of Qilin Mountain will be planted with wheat, millet, yellow rice and beans.

Liu Xin thought that he might need a lot of food when he went to Xiandu County this year, so he asked for a variety of sweet potatoes as much as possible. Although sweet potatoes are not convenient to store directly, they have the highest yield. If you can save food now, you can save more for next year.

Everything should really be in chaos, but it is no longer possible to buy food.

This time he went to Xiandu County to be the county magistrate. Liu Xin planned to bring 1,500 family soldiers, half of the family generals and 500 servants, and more than 1,000 people brought back from Hejian County, plus their family members and followers.

Some small families have a total number of more than 4,000 people, which means that he will take away less than half of the people in Luyin Township.

These people need about 100,000 shi of food a year. In the first year, Liu Xin didn't know what the situation was like in Xiandu County. It would take more than half a month to transport food from Zhuo County to Xiandu County, so this year he still had to farm hard.

.

In early February, the people of Lvyin Township began to get busy. They began to slowly fertilize the fields. They can start farming in another half month. At this time, everyone is used to working in the fields quickly. The harvest of the year depends mostly on the efforts at this time.

Already.

The 2,400 acres of newly opened fields at the foot of Qilin Mountain are also sown with alfalfa seeds. Although the thousand acres of alfalfa fields last year were enough, the alfalfa is rich in nutrients and can be eaten by people if you plant too much.

In the greenhouses in the lower courtyard and [New Town], half of the earthworm fields were transported outside. While they were starting to raise seedlings indoors, they planned to plant potatoes and beets at the same time. Even though there was no shortage of food now, Liu Xin still let the greenhouses grow two seasons a year.

The experience of growing in a greenhouse cannot be left behind.

Liu Xin put the date of departure on February 17, and Liu Qi said it would be March, so it would be best to arrive in early March. It is usually the beginning of the month when he takes office. This is an official custom.

The market in Zhuoxian County opened this year, and the bustling level was much less than before. One reason is that the Wuhuan people in the north of Youzhou were in rebellion, and the court had not given up the idea of ​​appeasing them. This made the Wuhuan tribe even more arrogant, and they committed all kinds of robbery, killing, and plundering. The entire Youzhou

The northern trade routes have been cut off, and there are no horse traders coming from the north. The price of livestock in Zhuo County has skyrocketed, and the trading volume has dropped significantly.

The second is that Liu Xin withdrew his people from the county. Luyin Township has become a prosperous trading place outside Zhuo County. There is no entry fee here, and the variety of goods is complete and the prices are lower than in the city.

Liu Xin saw that many Jizhou horse dealers came to Lvyin Township to buy cattle, sheep, and horses. He now had a large number of horses, cattle and sheep, so he sold some of them, leaving behind the [Qinchuan cattle] and [Boer goats] extracted from the system.

Other varieties such as these were sold for more than 20%.

A total of more than seven million yuan was not too much, but it brought down the extremely high livestock prices in Zhuo County.

For example, Liu Xin also saw an opportunity. Most of the horses and livestock purchased from various parts of the Central Plains were purchased from Zhuojun and northern Jizhou. If he could transport horses, cattle and sheep from northern Youzhou back to Zhuoxian, it would become a stable source of income for him.

This way of making money, even if it does not enter Zhuoxian County, Qilin Villa's status in Zhuoxian County will continue to rise, and the Lu family and the Prefect's Mansion will be more dependent on them.

He is sparring with Fang Yue in the dam di barracks. Now even if he does not use the [Green Dragon Star] talent, Fang Yue is no longer Liu Xin's opponent. It is difficult for Liu Xin to have an opponent if he is above the top level. In the past few days, Liu Xin has taken Fang Yue under his control.

Hai, Cheng Yuanzhi, and Wei Qin were appointed as school captains, so that their soldiers can also get attribute bonuses within 100 meters of them. The four of them have become the most important generals under Liu Xin except Zhou Tai. These days, they

Also adapting to the sudden increase in strength of Liu Xin's troops after leading the army, the combat power of Liu Xin's troops increased several times.

I originally wanted to include Zhou Tai into the military symbols, but the system prompted that the 24-star general could not be included as a captain, which made Liu Xin a little disappointed. He also thought that in the future, more people would be included in the military symbols, and the 24-star general would be included.

The captain himself can be invincible!

After separating from the battle with Fang Yue, Liu Xin saw that Fang Yue was out of breath from exhaustion. Liu Xin checked that his loyalty was 89 points, his force was 88 points, and other attributes had also been slightly improved. This was all due to him [Triple Training Card

]'s contribution.

"Lord!"

At this time, Liu Xin heard Zhou Tai's voice behind him and turned around to see him walking over with two black iron halberds with a happy expression on his face. Recently, he has been going to the weapon forging workshop every day. Today, his weapon was finally forged successfully.

!

"Finally the forging was successful! Come on, let me try out its power!" Liu Xin replied loudly.

He also held a pair of halberds in his hands to kill Zhou Tai. Zhou Tai used his newly acquired magic weapon to deal with it with all his strength. In the past, he was cautious when inputting his energy, but suddenly let go of all his strength. Liu Xin was suppressed and retreated steadily. He felt that

Zhou Tai's true energy eroded his body, and he was defeated in just five rounds.
Chapter completed!
