After the conversation with the Rat-Sucking Overlord, Qin Kai's attention returned to himself.

The Rat-Sucking Overlord can be an ally and a boost, but the main force in the national war is ultimately Qin Kai himself.

Qin Kai does not rely entirely on his allies.

He still has two special character recruitment cards that he has not used.

For the first special character recruitment card, Qin Kai recruited Xunzi, the Confucian empress saint. Xunzi's character characteristics are ridiculously strong and very practical. His role is no less than that of a saint-level military commander and a saint-level civil servant.

This made Qin Kai look forward to the special character recruitment card.

Qin Kai used the second special character card.

"Ding! You consumed a special character recruitment card and recruited a special character - Xu Xing."

Xu Xing?

Qin Kai has never heard of this person.

Xunzi's words are so famous that they pierce our ears like thunder.

But the special person recruited this time seems to have no sense of existence.

Qin Kai had never heard of such a number one person.

Qin Kai specifically investigated the origin of this special person named Xu Xing.

Xu Xing was a representative figure of farmers during the Warring States Period. He farmed in the fields with his disciples in Teng State, dressed in rags, and lived a collective life. Xu Xing's thoughts mainly include the theory of "the king and the people farm together" and the theory of "the city and the merchants are not divided".

The monarch and his subjects should engage in farming equally and be self-sufficient. Xu Xing also believed that people engaged in agricultural labor can directly exchange agricultural products for handicrafts. If the quantity of the same kind of goods is the same, the price will be equal.

His disciple Chen Xiang also engaged in a debate on "agriculture" and "Confucianism" with Mencius.

It turned out to be a representative figure of farmers during the Warring States Period.

During the period when a hundred schools of thought were contending, the peasant family seemed to have a lower sense of presence. It was not as prominent as Confucianism and Mohism, nor was it as prominent as Legalism.

Wait, since Xu Xing is a representative figure of peasant thought, his character traits should be very practical and may be able to increase grain production.

Food is an important basic resource in "Tianxia".

The soldiers and horses have not moved, but the food and grass go first.

The more food and grass is produced, the more soldiers can be fed.

Having too many soldiers is also very scary.

The human wave tactic is common.

Even Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, could not withstand the endless sea of ​​soldiers.

A middle-aged man wearing a short linen jacket appeared in front of Qin Kai. The man's palms were thickly calloused. He looked like a dark old man who was proficient in farm work, which was in sharp contrast to the elegant Xunzi.

There is a conflict between peasants and Confucians. One represents the interests of the peasant group, while Confucianism represents the interests of the rulers.

Qin Kai opened Xu Xing's character panel.

…

Xu Xing is obviously a purely special character. He can be used as a civil servant at most, but cannot be used as a general or counselor.

However, Xu Xing's character traits are very practical.

Xu Xing can increase the output of all farmland in the Three Kingdoms Region. Although the increase is not large, it can still increase the grain output and thereby increase the military strength of the Three Kingdoms Region.

This means that the Three Kingdoms Zone can support more soldiers and horses.

The presence of peasant figures such as Xu Xing can also increase farmers' satisfaction and reduce the probability of peasant uprisings such as the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Theoretically, Xu Xing is still somewhat useful in this regard.

However, with the current lineup of civil servants and military officers Qin Kai has, he is not afraid of a peasant uprising breaking out and suppressing it at will.

Of course, if a peasant uprising at the level of the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, it would undoubtedly affect the food production in the Three Kingdoms area, which would be detrimental to Qin Kai's hoarding of food and grass, attacking other civilizations, or participating in national wars.

All in all, Xu Xing is also a very useful special character. Qin Kai feels that his practical value may not be as good as that of Xunzi, but his sense of existence is slightly lower.

Qin Kai immediately summoned Xun He and asked him to arrange the land and arrange a rich land for Xu Xing and his farm disciples to cultivate. Xu Xing's character attribute "collective farm" can increase the output of grain and grass. Qin Kai could not

Mind giving them a piece of land specifically for farming.

"There is one last special character recruitment card."

After Qin Kai settled Xu Xing, he used the last special character recruitment card.

"Ding! You consumed a special character recruitment card and recruited a special character - Shen Wansan."

Good guy, Shen Wansan!

Qin Kai may not have heard of Xu Xing, but he must have heard of Shen Wansan.

This guy is so famous.

Shen Wansan was a businessman in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. He inherited his father's business, led his children to work hard in farming, opened up fields and houses, and became rich in gold and jade. He also used his hometown of Zhouzhuang as a commodity trade and circulation base to collect goods and supplies, and quickly became the first merchant in Jiangnan.

A wealthy man. Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, attacked the city of Suzhou. Zhang Shicheng relied on the strong support of Shen Wansan and other Suzhou people to defend Suzhou for eight months. After the city was defeated, Zhu Yuanzhang took retaliatory measures. Seeing the serious situation, Shen Wansan took the initiative to show his goodwill. First, he

Helped build the city of Nanjing and funded one-third of the city's construction funds. The Ming Taizu wanted to reward the army, and asked for a reward of silver. The Ming Taizu was afraid that Shen Wansan would win over the army, so he planned to kill him. Empress Ma repeatedly advised him, and Shen Wansan finally

He was spared from death, but his family was ransacked instead, and he was exiled to Yunnan, where he later died in a foreign land.

According to folklore, Shen Wansan had a cornucopia. If you put a gold hairpin in it, you can get out a handful of gold hairpins. If you put a silver ingot in it, you can get out a pot of silver ingots. It is inexhaustible.

, so you can be rich in the world.

Shen Wansan's story is so famous that Qin Kai couldn't help but know about Shen Wansan.

A rich man appeared in front of Qin Kai, whose temperament was completely different from that of Xunzi and Xu Xing.

"In sinking Wansan, I am willing to make Ming Gong rich and provide money."

Shen Wansan hit the nail on the head as soon as he opened his mouth.

To feed so many soldiers and horses, Qin Kai not only needed food and grass, but also money.

Since Xu Xing can increase grain production, Shen Wansan might be able to increase treasury revenue.

Qin Kai immediately checked Shen Wansan's character panel.
