Chapter 1112

Another few months passed, and Ba-Shu had now been completely rectified by Qin Mu.

A total of five cities, one big city and four small cities. The big city occupied the highest ground, and the four small cities were in front.

That is to say, even if someone attacked, they had to destroy the four small cities first before they could attack the big city.

And the four small cities were closely connected together, with the support of the big city behind them, which could be said to be easy to defend and difficult to attack.

As long as there was enough food, it would take at least thirty times the troop gap to attack!

But, if the defenders were elite soldiers, then without a huge gap in numbers, I'm afraid not a single city could be attacked.

As for methods like fire attacks and smoke, Qin Mu had already made corresponding preparations. Various ventilation systems were done quite well.

In these few months, Qin Mu was also frantically expanding the army. Peerless General Pan Feng might not have great combat power himself, but he still had some skills in leading and training troops.

"803"

Qin Mu specifically gave him five hundred people and the method of making refined salt, letting him take people to the coastal area to make sea salt and bring salt back to Ba-Shu once a month.

Then he carried out major reforms in the five cities separately. All official positions had both primary and deputy positions.

They assisted each other in work and played a role in supervising each other. As long as the other party did something they shouldn't, they could be promoted by one rank directly after reporting!

And all official positions were based on strength, not recommended by other officials!

The five big cities all implemented the imperial examination system, once every half a year. Various perfect systems completely eliminated the possibility of cheating.

This made the ghost talent Guo Jia full of praise.

And this was only a part of the development in a few months. Qin Mu also built the curved-shaft plow, which directly made everyone full of praise.

It directly increased the number of plow oxen, which were originally scarce.

However, even so, Ba-Shu's own grain production was still relatively low. There was no way, this geographical location made ordinary wheat difficult to plant.

Only terraced fields could be used to plant rice. There were potatoes in this century, but they were still overseas.

For this reason, Qin Mu specifically let Lu Bu take some elite soldiers to Xianyang to block Xu Fu.

However, in military affairs, one still had to look at Guo Jia and others.

After discussion, Qin Mu decided to implement a three-year plan to build Ba-Shu into the most solid place before Qin Shi Huang passed away!

At least there must be five hundred thousand elite soldiers!

In just a few months, Yu Ji also married Qin Mu.

Xiang Yu, who was far away in Western Chu, couldn't eat for three days after getting the news!

Usually he had to eat the meat of a cow a day, but now he hadn't eaten for three days.

Whenever he thought of Yu Ji in Ba-Shu, Xiang Yu couldn't help but feel a heartache. What a good beauty, but why wasn't she his! He hadn't thought about raising an army to attack Ba-Shu, but he had recorded all those soldiers who had spat on him.

A total of twenty thousand and two!

One of them, Lu Bu, was countless times stronger than himself, and one, Pan Feng, was much weaker than himself.

And those twenty thousand soldiers, he could feel that his own troops were no match at all!

It was the kind that he wouldn't dare to go over without one hundred thousand troops. Even if he had one hundred thousand troops now, it would only be a lose-lose situation, so what would happen to the Qin State? Xiang Yu was still somewhat rational. He was not blinded by beauty, or rather, the hatred of destroying the country was far more hateful to Xiang Yu than these humiliations! And recently he had contacted another anti-Qin person, named Zhang Liang!

Zhang Liang was said to be a genius in the Little Sage and Virtuous Manor. He came out also preparing to win over Jianghu assassins, wanting to assassinate the King of Qin!

He had already contacted the Mohist school and the two great masters of the Vertical and Horizontal schools!

Now all that was missing was for the Xiang family to send troops to drag down Qin Shi Huang's army!

And they received news that three months later, Qin Shi Huang would hide his identity and go on an inspection tour!

On the other side, Qin Mu stayed in the pigsty all day studying piglets.

Although Yu Ji didn't understand, she still accompanied Qin Mu very virtuously.

"I say Mu, why do you stay in the pigsty every day these days? Could it be that you want to become a pig knight?"

Yu Ji covered her little mouth and laughed. In this era, pigs were difficult to eat and had a rank smell.

Even the poor rarely ate them, and raising pigs was purely for traveling!

That's right, these pigs usually had good foot power, and on long-term journeys, they were not inferior to oxen.

Plus they ate a lot of things, almost everything, so they were countless times easier to raise than horses. The poor traveled by riding pigs!

Everyone became a pig knight.

Qin Mu's face turned black after learning that there was such a saying. I'm afraid they didn't know that pigs could be eaten.

"Ji, it's smelly here, you go back first. In a few days I'll let you taste roast suckling pig, I guarantee you'll want to eat it again after eating it." Qin Mu said with a slight smile.

After Yu Ji heard this, she broke into a cold sweat. Eat a pig?

Spare her, was that thing something a human could eat? Yu Ji was scared away directly by Qin Mu's words....

Zhuge Liang came to find Qin Mu every day to report on work. He also didn't understand why his Lord stayed in the pigsty all day.

Several days later, Qin Mu finally succeeded. It turned out that if you want pigs to lose their rank smell, it's not just simple castration that can succeed.

After the first castration, there was still a smell, almost suffocating Qin Mu. He thought to himself, no wonder the poor didn't eat pork.

This wasn't meat, this was simply poison.

And this time he finally succeeded!

Qin Mu directly skewered a small suckling pig and roasted it over the fire.

Fortunately, pigs came with their own fat. What he didn't expect was that there was no oil yet!

Don't talk about peanut oil, even lard hadn't been seen used by anyone!

Qin Mu decided to find an opportunity to promote everyone to raise pigs together to remove the rank smell and develop lard!

Qin Mu felt heartache for Qin Shi Huang who was far away in Xianyang. I'm afraid his daily food was tasteless.

At most there was some salt, some saltiness, and no other seasonings.

After Yu Ji returned home, she smelled the smell of roast meat, and suddenly the whole person felt bad, thinking that it must not, it must not be...
