According to the behavior of slaves, dividing slaves is also a way to effectively manage slaves.

Everything has its own two sides. While creating value for the Luo family, these slaves were also unstable factors within the Luo family's territory. In order to take good care of these slaves, a part of the retired standing and reserve peasant soldiers formed a large number of guardians to guard these slaves.

However, long-term implementation of tough policies on them will only make the backlog of dissatisfaction in their hearts increasingly heavy, and there will always be a day when they will explode (although there are restrictions on the daily food given to them in order to prevent these slaves from rioting or escaping, there will always be a day of negligence in the long run. If these slaves riot, it will definitely cause some trouble to the territory). The transfer of good-performing slaves to the slave farm, while continuing to disperse the number of these slaves, also gives them a comparison or a better goal in their hearts, thereby diverting their dissatisfaction.

Except for a few stubborn slaves in their hearts, most of the rest hope to enter the slave farm as soon as possible, and then get the status of a tyrant and regain the freedom of life.

In addition to solving the problem of these slave resettlement, Zhengliang also had his purpose in establishing slave farms. First, it was to first promote the cultivation of some new crops to see the local yield of these new crops; second, it was to provide logistical food guarantees for the military status of the Luo family and official institutions at all levels.

Currently, in the territory of the Luo family, there are five slave farms in Feiqian State, six slave farms in Feihou State, and even in Zhuhou State, there are three slave farms. All of these farms are planted in the mulberry fish pond model.

The so-called mulberry-based fish pond model is a comprehensive fish farming method for raising fish in ponds and planting mulberry ridges. It starts with mulberry planting and ends with the fish farming production cycle through silkworm raising. It forms a close relationship between mulberry, silkworm and fish, forming a relatively complete energy flow system for mulberry planting mulberry leaf raising silkworms, silkworm cocoon reeling, silkworm sand, silkworm pupa, silkworm reeling wastewater raising fish, fish manure and other mulberry fat. In this system, silk is an intermediate product and no longer enters the material cycle. Fresh fish is the final product and is provided for people to eat.

This planting model can promote the development of mulberry planting, silkworm farming and fish farming, and drive the progress of textile industries such as silk reeling, which greatly promotes the internal affairs of the Luo Family. Of course, the Luo Family's textile workshops, silkworm farming and other work has just started, and even the most basic raw materials are not many mulberry forests. It will take a long time to form this real mulberry-based fish pond model. Therefore, Zhengliang has also made some changes to this model.

In addition to building silkworm houses on the pond foundations of various fish ponds on the farm, he also built some pigpens and chicken houses. In addition to planting mulberry trees, he also planted crops such as divine melons, corn, and various wild vegetables (these crops are an important food source for the food house). In addition, there are soybeans and sugarcane.

Soybeans were brought from Mingguo last year by merchants from Mingguo. It is said that the yield is good and is an important crop to solve the problem of food and clothing. But the only disadvantage is that it requires a lot of fertilizer to grow well. Therefore, the nearby pigpens, chicken coops and other fertilizers have brought it a lot of fertilizer, while the ponds bring them sufficient moisture.

As for sugarcane, it was discovered by Zhengliang's people in the Satsuma region. It is said that sugarcane was spread from China to the local area a long time ago. However, it has not been promoted locally. Zhengliang, who is familiar with the value of sugarcane, naturally let it go. He sent people to collect sugarcane from all over the country and began to plant it in various slave farms.

For the farm, mulberry, soybean and sugarcane are the latest new crops introduced by the farm this year, and Zhengliang has great expectations for these crops.

Mulberry trees are food for silkworms. Its smooth growth can ensure that silkworm farming and the establishment of subsequent textile workshops can be carried out smoothly. If the experiments here can be successful, after the textile workshop is on track, Zhengliang will promote the cultivation of mulberry trees and the breeding of silkworms on a large scale within the territory, and transfer the production of silk to the people. Luo's textile workshop is only responsible for processing silk. This will promote the improvement of the life of the people and also increase the income source of the Inner Affairs Pavilion.

For soybeans, Zhengliang hopes that it can become the main grain of another territory after the Shengua, waterway, and wheat. You must know that the variety of grain crops in a territory is sufficiently abundant to ensure that it can resist strongly when the territory encounters natural disasters.

In addition, Masara also hopes to use soybeans to study the marching of the Luo family. Since the last attempt to create Mizu, Masarara has been trying to find a way to create a Mizu that meets the actual conditions of the Luo family. With Mizu, the Luo family's army will be able to obtain greater logistical support in the future.

As for the last sugarcane, Zhengliang hopes to use it to build a sugar-making workshop. Sugar is a rare and precious food in the local area, and for many people, it is no different from ginseng fruit. Not to mention that ordinary people do not have the opportunity to taste this "delicacy in the world", even ordinary wealthy families are not allowed to eat it. Rich people buy sugar as raw materials and other desserts (such as bean bags) as gifts, which is a great thing for people to save face. Those who receive the gifts will also think that the gifts are very valuable. In this case, Zhengliang naturally hopes to make a fortune by making sugar.

In general, the main thing in slave farms is to plant some newly discovered crops and then test their planting effects. In this era, food is the lifeblood of the people. For new crops, except for the leaders of the wild and mountainous areas, the leaders of other areas will not necessarily accept them. Therefore, Zhengliang must first test satisfactory results on the farm so that the retainers and people of the territory know that after planting these new crops, they will be able to gain something, so that they can successfully start promoting them in various regions of the territory.

In addition, the farm provides sufficient logistics food for the Luo family army and various institutions. Almost all the vegetables they need in daily life are grown from these farms. The fish, chicken, pork and other meat they usually eat are mainly grown from here.
