Chapter 19 Not enough farmland? Then grab it
Chu State.
Kuaiji.
In the Yu mansion.
Listening to the chirping sparrows outside the window, Lin Yu slowly opened his eyes.
It's a brand new day.
"Hmm."
The beautiful wife Yu Miaoyi beside her was also awakened by the sparrow, stretched out, and gently lifted her smooth and slender jade legs to rest on Lin Yu's waist.
Xiao Linyu immediately stood at attention.
He gently hugged Yu Miaoyi and asked in a low voice: "Daughter-in-law, do you want to sharpen your gun in clinical practice?"
Yu Miaoyi's pretty face turned red, and just when she was about to answer, a maid came over from outside the door and sent a message: "Uncle, someone from the government office has come to discuss something important!"
Lin Yu looked depressed: "It's so early in the morning and I'm not even given a chance to sharpen my gun. It's really annoying!"
After saying that, I had to get up, get dressed, and rush to the government office.
When they arrived at the government office, the female military advisor Qin Banruo came out with gentle steps.
Today she changed into plain clothes with a hint of light pink, and her upper body was designed with a tube top. This outfit reminded Lin Yu of a movie - "A City of Golden Armor".
In short, when he stared into the abyss, the abyss stared into him.
"Good morning, young master."
Qin Prajna bowed Yingying and said in a gentle voice.
"Good morning."
Lin Yu nodded, and accompanied by her, they walked into the government office.
Qin Banruo observed his words and saw that Lin Yu seemed to be unhappy, so he quickly asked: "Why does the young master look so troubled? But who has provoked the young master?"
Lin Yu pulled out the chair and sat down, and said bluntly: "It's nothing, it's just that when I woke up in the morning, the little general was a little swollen and felt uncomfortable."
After all, Qin Banruo was good at understanding people's clothes and understood men's hearts best. He understood Lin Yu's distress as soon as he heard it, and whispered Ruolan into his ear:
"Why don't you let me, as the young master, give you a blow, and the general will be able to reduce the swelling immediately?"
Lin Yu coughed and said, "Business matters are more important. Let's talk about business matters first."
"You called me to the government office early in the morning. What's the important thing?"
Qin Banruo smiled lightly, raised her pretty hips slightly, sat on the handle of Lin Yu's chair, leaned against him slightly, and said:
"Reporting to the young master, I worked all night last night and completed the tasks assigned by the young master."
"At this time, there are 500 Western Chu warriors, 1,163 sword and axemen, 300 crossbowmen, 421 cavalry, and 300 scouts in Kuaiji City."
"In addition, there are 2,517 surrendered troops from Qin."
After hearing this, Lin Yu nodded with satisfaction and praised: "You did a good job."
Qin Banruo smiled brightly and said: "But young master, after this, I discovered another problem."
Lin Yu: "What's the problem?"
Qin Banruo: "We have 300 kilograms of rice seedlings in our city. According to my observation, these rice seedlings are of excellent variety and the yield should be good."
Lin Yu smiled proudly and said, "Of course, this is hybrid rice, and the yield is more than three times that of ordinary rice!"
Qin Prajna said: "But the paddy fields in Kuaiji City are limited and are not enough to sow so much rice. According to my calculations, the remaining acres in Kuaiji City are only enough to sow 150 kilograms of rice seedlings. The remaining half of the rice seedlings will probably be wasted."
…”
Lin Yu immediately shook his head and said, "This is not possible!"
"Food is the first priority for the people. Food is the foundation of a country."
"Hybrid rice is high-yielding and efficient. Planting it will ensure that the people of Chu State will not go hungry. We must not waste it. We must plant it all!"
Qin Banruo'er frowned slightly and said in embarrassment: "But young master, there is not so much farmland in Kuaiji City anymore."
Lin Yu pondered for a moment and said suddenly:
"There is no more land in Kuaiji City, so let's capture other cities!"
"When the city is conquered, there will naturally be more farmland!"
"In the past ten years or so, hasn't the Qin State invaded and occupied more than thirty cities in our Chu State?"
"This account should be settled with Qin!"
"It's time to take back the lost territory!"
Hearing this, Qin Prajna's delicate body was shocked!
The abyss in my chest also trembled.
"As expected of the young master!"
“I came up with a very bold solution in an instant.”
"If you only look at the one-third of an acre of land in front of you, then only half of the 300 kilograms of rice seedlings will be wasted."
"Since there is no land, go and grab Qin's territory!"
"Anyway, that is our territory of Chu!"
Lin Yu nodded and said, "Not bad."
"Kuiji is the border with Qin State, so war is inevitable!"
"Instead of waiting for the Qin soldiers to attack me first, it is better for us to take the initiative!"
"Now that I have Western Chu euphorbias, infantry, cavalry, and crossbowmen, why can't I still conquer a few cities?"
"Prajna, show me which of the surrounding cities has the most fertile land!"
Qin Banruo responded quickly: "Yes."
After saying that, he took out the map, looked at it carefully, then pointed to one of the cities and said:
"Young Master, Yangling City is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the terrain is flat. This must be a treasure land for farming!"
Lin Yu nodded with satisfaction and said, "In that case, let's target Yangling City!"
"Watch me knock Yangling down to farm within three days!"
"Prajna, go and call Uncle Liang, Uncle Xiang, and Xiang Zhuang to discuss matters!"
"As commanded."
Qin Banruo took the order and left.
…
Half an hour later.
Xiang Liang, Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Bo and others all came to the meeting hall.
Lin Yu stood in front of a sand table with his hands behind his hands, pointed at a city in the sand table, and said, "Do you recognize this city?"
Xiang Liang immediately said: "This is Yangling City. It was originally the city of our Chu Kingdom more than ten years ago."
"The terrain here is flat, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and has fertile fields. It is called the granary of Da Chu."
Xiang Zhuang sighed helplessly: "It's a pity that it has been plundered by the Qin State and became the granary of the Qin State."
Lin Yu said in a deep voice, "Not bad!"
"This city originally belonged to my country of Chu, but unfortunately it was taken away by the Qin people."
"Food is the foundation of a country. You can imagine the importance of this city!"
"Previously, Chu State was at war with Qin State. We lost consecutive battles and had to surrender the city and cede territory as a last resort. But now we have killed Wang Li first and then Six Sword Slaves, and our morale is at its peak. Do we still have to accept Qin's arrogance?"
When Xiang Liang heard this, his eyes flashed with blazing light and he asked:
"Yu'er means..."
Lin Yu directly showed his cards and said loudly:
"I mean, it's time to take back our granary!"
"I will capture Yangling within three days!"
As soon as this statement came out, the whole audience was in an uproar!
After all, in the past ten years, only Qin State has captured Chu State's cities, and Chu State has never captured Qin State's cities.
What's more, the Qin State is so powerful and full of military virtue that no one from the surrounding countries dares to provoke it!
If Qin Shihuang is offended, it will be a disaster!
Now Lin Yu actually wants to take the initiative to provoke, which is really shocking!
Although Xiang Liang admired Lin Yu's courage from the bottom of his heart, he still asked anxiously:
"Yu'er, Yangling is an important food area, and the Qin State must be heavily guarded. Are you sure you can attack it?"
Lin Yu said confidently:
"Uncle, don't worry, I have a plan to defeat the Qin army!"
