Chapter 138: Accumulation of Grain
Zhenbei Marshal's Mansion, study. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Early in the morning, Li Yuanche's henchmen and generals came to the study to discuss the matter of the Eastern Crusade.
"Treasure book, everyone is here." Chen Jinaxe stretched out his hand and grabbed Qin Baoshu's shoulder, and said with a big grin, "Why don't you start yet?" Didn't you say that today we were discussing the matter of the Eastern Crusade? ā
Qin Baoshu shook his head at him, turned to look at Zhou Ping, and asked in a low voice. "Brother Zhou, who are you waiting for?"
"Hmm." Zhou Ping nodded, but didn't explain much. The lord should be waiting for the sixth lady of the Wang family in the backyard to come.
Li Yuanche looked at the expressions of the generals in the room, didn't speak, and looked up in the direction outside the door. I slept too late last night, and I don't know if I got up.
He remembered the words that had been whispered to him in his ear last night, and his heart was still on fire. If this northern frontier can really be as gently said, the Great Northern Wilderness will become the Great Northern Warehouse, then the world will not be uncertain.
"Lord, do you want to go to Cui?" Seeing that the sky was already bright, Mr. Fushan turned his head and asked Li Yuanche. He thought to himself that it would take too long for this young lady to dress up.
"No, you don't." Li Yuanche, who had been staring at the door, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and a smile flashed on his well-defined and resolute face. Shocked, all the generals in the room wondered if it was dazzling just now, how could the marshal, who had always been indifferent and self-controlled, show such a smile.
"She's coming." Li Yuanche ignored the surprised looks of the generals and strode towards the door.
"Baoshu, wasn't it my old Chen dazzled just now?" Chen Jinaxe rubbed his eyes exaggeratedly, "Why is this marshal smiling so ......" so bright? So gentle? Thinking of this, Chen Jinaxe shuddered. Forget it, forget it, my old Chen hasn't studied, so I don't know how to describe it.
Qin Baoshu didn't reply, and turned his head to look out the door. I saw the marshal personally holding a girl in white and slowly walked in. He couldn't hold back the surprise in his heart, and quietly looked around from the corner of his eye, but found that Mr. Fushiyama and Zhou Ping were all accustomed to it, so he guessed the identity of the person who came.
This woman with an indifferent face and clear eyes is probably the world-shattering miracle doctor fairy. Since returning to Qizhou, Qin Baoshu has heard many legends about this miracle doctor fairy among the low-level soldiers and ordinary people, but he has never seen him. Now that I finally see the real person, I can't help but look carefully.
This miracle doctor fairy was only sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in a white Luo skirt, and only wore a belt of the same color embroidered with plum blossoms around her waist. The flowing straight hair is not like the girls of today, combing the complicated bun, only a goose yellow hairband is simply tied together, and an ordinary-looking mahogany hairpin is inserted.
The girl's face is not stunning, but just a little delicate. What is rare is that pair of pure and clear eyes, like the brightest gems, can not see a trace of impurities. The girl's gaze flickered slightly, and it made people fall headlong into it, and people couldn't help but feel close and reassured.
After just one glance, Qin Baoshu couldn't help but be shocked. I have been fighting in the rivers and lakes for many years, and now I only look at this girl, and I can't help but feel trust and peace of mind in her. This miracle doctor fairy, who doesn't know the origin of his name and is known as Miss Six, is really extraordinary.
All the generals in the room looked at their marshal with some surprise, and walked into the study with a calm face holding a woman's hand. And when this woman faced the generals staring at her and Li Yuanche's connected hands, there was no trace of shyness and crampedness on her face, and she walked in so naturally.
This woman is obviously not very old, but this indifferent and calm bearing is heartbreaking, and she is worthy of the marshal's favorite woman. The generals glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but nod secretly in their hearts.
"Alright, let's get started." After Li Yuanche helped his sweetheart to sit on the left side, he stepped to sit on the top and nodded at Mr. Fushan.
"Ahem!" Mr. Fushiyama coughed lightly a few times, and when he saw that all the generals had come back to their senses and looked at him, he spoke.
"Everyone knows about the two holy decrees yesterday." Fushiyama now saw that the generals nodded, but suddenly changed the subject.
"I think everyone knows that our Qizhou has made the decision to build a high wall, accumulate grain, and delay the king." Mr. Fukuyama turned his head to look at the girl on the left, "This method was mentioned by the sixth lady from the family medical hall. ā
Wang Ji saw the mixed reactions of the generals in the room, and did not speak. She just stood up, bowed to everyone, smiled slightly, and sat down again.
"Sixth Miss," Mr. Fushan saw the girl's calm and calm appearance, and nodded secretly in his heart, only this bearing is worthy of being the head of the Tang State Mansion.
"It's easy to say that this high wall and slow claim to be the king are just a matter of accumulating grain, and I'm afraid it's a little inconvenient for us in northern Xinjiang." Speaking of this, Mr. Fukuyama couldn't help but look sink.
First, this northern frontier is vast and sparsely populated, perennially harassed by barbarians, and wars are continuous, and few farmers settle here. Second, Jiuzhai in northern Xinjiang has barren terrain and not much fertile land, so I am afraid that there will be no grain to grow.
Mr. Fushan always thought that Wang Jiqing's strategy of accumulating grain was to transport grain and grass from the south of the Yangtze River to northern Xinjiang. But now that Guanzhong is in turmoil, wars are raging, and it is impossible to send grain and grass from Jiangnan. If you do this at this time, I'm afraid it won't work.
"I wonder what concerns Mr. has?" Wang Jiqing didn't get up, but just took the teacup handed by Li Yuanche and took a sip.
"Now that Guanzhong is in chaos, where does the food come from?" Although Mr. Fushiyama admired the girl's intelligence and kindness, he did not give in at all on this great issue.
"Naturally, food is grown from the ground." Wang Ji put down the teacup lightly, and the girl's cold voice remembered indifferently in the ears of the generals. "Our Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures have a vast land and many people, so we are naturally not afraid that we will not be able to grow food."
Fushiyama nodded now, then shook his head. It is natural that this northern territory is vast, and there are many people, but it is not possible. This girl first came to Northern Xinjiang, and her time is short, so I'm afraid she doesn't know the truth about Northern Xinjiang.
Wang Ji saw Mr. Fushiyama shaking his head, and knew what the other party thought. She didn't speak immediately, but stood up and looked at the generals in the room one by one.
"Dare to ask how many troops are there behind the generals?"
"There are now more than 250,000 troops in my northern Xinjiang." Li Yuanche saw that everyone didn't react for a while, so he stood up, walked to the girl's side, took his sweetheart's hand, and bowed his head to reply.
"Yes, two hundred and fifty thousand troops." Wang Ji secretly broke free of Li Yuanche's hand, this man must not know how to restrain in front of everyone.
"These 250,000 troops are enough to reclaim a lot of fertile land and produce enough food." Wang Ji saw that the faces of the generals changed, and without waiting for everyone to speak, she spoke first.
"I am a soldier in wartime, and I am a farmer in my spare time." The girl's voice was soft, but it was loud.
The generals in the room didn't react for a while, and they were all a little stunned. This thing of integrating soldiers and peasants has never happened before.
Wang Jiqing was not afraid that everyone would not understand, she just looked at Li Yuanche beside her and smiled. In his previous life, this matter of integrating soldiers and peasants has long been proven feasible by history. Not to mention, in his previous life, isn't this Nanniwan and Xinjiang Construction Corps ready-made examples?
"Good, good idea." Mr. Fuyama was the first to react, and he couldn't help but be amazed, looking at the girl on the top with an excited face.
"But this northern frontier is barren, and there is no food to grow?" The cautious Zhou Ping also reacted, but he was born in a peasant household and clearly knew that it was not good to grow rice and wheat in northern Xinjiang.
"What I want to grow in northern Xinjiang is not rice and wheat." Wang Jiqing is naturally what Zhou Ping is thinking, now that the conditions are ripe, she will naturally not hide it.
"Although there is a lot of sandy land in northern Xinjiang, there is not enough rain and the terrain is arid, but there is no problem in growing potatoes and corn."
Potato? Corn? The crowd was confused, completely unaware of what it was.
"Yes, it's potatoes and corn." Li Yuanche saw that Wang Jiqing stopped talking, knowing that his sweetheart wanted to make him in the limelight, he couldn't bear to blow her mind, so he stepped forward and stood in front of her.
"These potatoes and corn are the food of overseas people. The yield is extremely high, and the harvest will be available in three or four months, which is the most suitable for my northland planting. Li Yuanche remembered the yield of potatoes and corn that she had described softly last night, and his heart was also a little excited.
"I have ordered people to store enough seeds overseas for our eastern crusade to conquer Liaodong." Li Yuanche said here, and looked at the generals in the room, "Those seeds can be transported directly from Quanzhou to Jiaozhou Port by sea, bypassing the war-torn Guannei at this time." ā
As soon as the words fell, everyone was shocked. It turned out that the marshal wanted to attack Liaodong, and there was such a deep meaning.
Mr. Fushan, who had been handling internal affairs in Qinzhou, glanced at the girl behind the Lord very meaningfully. Others don't know, but Mr. Fushiyama knows, the Lord has never sent anyone to the south, so it is impossible to know about this new grain, and naturally it is even more impossible to reserve this potato and corn in advance.
Mr. Fushan nodded secretly and was delighted, presumably all of this was from the hands of this sixth lady of the Wang family. This woman should be smart when she should be smart, low-key when she should be low-key, so kind and compassionate, she really has the demeanor of the mother of a country. To be able to get this woman's help is a blessing to the Lord and a blessing to the people of the world.
And Qin Baoshu and the other generals who followed Li Yuanche nodded in their hearts. The marshal was so far-sighted that he really deserved to be followed by himself and others. If nothing else, this new grain plant alone will save the lives of many poor people. What is the reason for waiting for yourself to rebel, isn't it because you can't eat? If everyone can eat enough, who will rebel with nothing to do!
Wang Ji saw that the generals in the room looked at the man in front of him with admiration, and she couldn't help but be proud in her heart. She doesn't care about those false names, as long as she can promote the new food, she can help Ah Che win the hearts of the people and compete for the world; Second, you can really help the poor people at the bottom, why not do it yourself? As for whether it was her or Ah Che to do it, it didn't make a difference to her at all. (To be continued.) )
