Chapter 574: Talk about Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!

Zhou Xu was also greatly shocked by this wave.

But considering that they are lizard people, this seems quite reasonable.

To be honest, before he traveled through time, there was a place for eating bugs in the original world.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that it is really not a strange thing.

In this way, after adjusting his mentality, Zhou Xu returned to the temple and began to have another headache.

That is, according to Bolevin, at least four to five hundred lizardmen hatched in this wave, and these lizardmen can eat normally after eating white flesh worms for almost a month. .

In addition, this is not all in the sacred incubation pool. There are at least seven or eight hundred eggs in the sacred incubation pool.

Bolewen estimated that one batch should be hatched in late autumn, and the other batch should wait until the beginning of next spring.

Of course, what's more important is that after entering a relatively peaceful period, the lizard people who have idle time are also breeding offspring.

After all, without this kind of breeding efficiency, they wouldn't be able to afford to fight the ratmen all year round.

When these news came to Zhou Xu, they basically all turned into four big words at once, food pressure!

Judging from this rhythm, after this year, they are likely to have more than a thousand more mouths in Dazhou, and they all have to eat!

And while doing the cooking, there is not much labor left.

Zhou Xuguang’s head felt heavy just thinking about it.

However, he also knows that this is a process that must be experienced in population development. Compared with the lizard people who are considered adults at the age of six, the babies recently born by their human race really have a long way to go.

The most urgent task now is to quickly increase their internal food production.

"Is there a report from Zhao Geng today?"

Say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will be here!

Zhou Xu’s question had just been asked when Zhao Geng’s report was sent over.

Without saying anything, Zhou Xu opened the report and started reading.

The content of the report is very simple. One part explains that the crops transplanted from the rainforest area can be fully grown on the plains.

The other part of the content explains that crops with relatively short growth cycles, including potatoes and corn, have been successfully harvested in the experimental fields.

Seeing this, Zhou Xu couldn't help laughing.

As long as large farms in the plains can be established, internal food supply will not be a problem!

The pressure in my heart was swept away at this moment.

【It would be great to have someone who is good at farming! 】

Zhou Xu thought to himself as he continued to look down.

“The corn grown here is not only bigger and plumper than the corn we grow in Dazhou, but it is also sweeter? What’s more?”

After reading the report, Zhou Xu turned his head and cast his gaze on the attendant who sent the report.

"Where is the corn that Zhao Geng sent?"

"Here."

As he spoke, the attendant quickly picked up the corn that had been put aside.

Zhou Xu picked one up and weighed it in his hand.

“Good guy, it’s really a lot bigger. Is it because of the climate?”

While muttering to himself, Zhou Xu put the corn back in his hand.

“Go, steam these corns and bring them over.”

The attendant moved quickly and delivered the steamed corns to Zhou Xu in the blink of an eye.

Breaking off a piece of steamed corn, Zhou Xu took a bite and his eyes suddenly lit up. Just like Zhao Geng said, the sweetness of corn has indeed become more obvious, and the corn kernels have also become fuller, giving it a better taste when eaten in the mouth.

"Send the order so that Zhao Geng and the others can start large-scale planting of potatoes, corn, and crops transplanted from the rainforest area."

Until this matter was arranged, Zhou Xu's face Everyone could not hide their joy, and their mood became much lighter.

At the same time, the southern border...

As the current commander-in-chief of the southern border, Li Ce is currently in his camp, looking through the latest statistical reports.

“In recent times, the frequency of harassment by ratmen seems to have begun to increase, and the size of the harassing troops has also increased.”

Hearing this, Soros, who was also in the camp, showed no surprise on his face.

"Normal, after all, the season is about to enter autumn. Under normal circumstances, the rat men usually launch large-scale attacks in two periods, that is, late autumn and early winter."

"Herein Do you have any explanation? "

"Yes, the fundamental reason is actually the same, that is, it is difficult to find food in winter, so the army is mobilized in late autumn, which is to reduce the number of slave soldiers in advance before winter. The same goes for mobilizing troops in early winter to reduce food pressure. The specific time chosen depends entirely on their mood and state at the time. "

After saying this, Soros spread his hands and looked very helpless.

"But what is certain is that no matter which time they mobilize their troops, they will slowly increase the frequency and scale of harassment and consume us before autumn begins."

Faced with this answer, Li Ce Frowning slightly.

Over the past six months, he has actually become accustomed to the rat men appearing outside their southern defense line every now and then.

To a certain extent, these harassing troops from the rat people are an excellent target for practical training for new recruits who have never been on the battlefield.

In the past few months, he has trained his troops with the rat men on the opposite side.

Basically, after several consecutive battles, the new recruits were exhausted, and the rat men's harassment offensive would not stop.

Under this premise, if the frequency and scale of harassment continue to increase, the pressure on their side will not be small.

Just when Li Ce was so worried, a soldier ran in.

"Captain, the weapons and equipment sent from the rear have arrived."

After the establishment of the enchantment department, it has been operating recently. The innate qualifications of the prairie elves are there, and the early improvement is still very fast. Yes, after more than two months, it is getting better now.

The prepared enchanted weapons are now being sent to the front line one after another.

"Please make arrangements to distribute them to soldiers who do not have crystal iron weapons."

"Yes!"

The arrival of this batch of weapons made Li Ce feel a lot. Somewhat confident.

At the same time, Soros’s voice sounded again...

"Don't worry, this year we have the crystal iron weapons and scale armor provided by the king. It will probably be easier than in previous years to deal with it."

Thoros who talked about this did not mention the blessings on them. It has not returned to its original level.

In fact, during this time, Zhou Xu has upgraded the 'Lizard Man Endurance Strengthening' project to two levels, thus further improving the Lizard Man's endurance.

Invisibly, thanks to his talent of 'evolutionary leader', the endurance of the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty should have improved more or less.

But from the perspective of the lizard people, this strength has obviously not returned to its original level.

Fortunately, they obtained weapons and equipment. In Soros's view, the existence of these weapons and equipment was enough to make up for the lack of reinforcement.

"And..."

Update sent, thanks to the book friend 'Xian can meet but not seek - Da' for the reward
