Chapter 234: Food Shortage (Part II)

(TXT ) (TXT ) (TXT) In the evening, Zhan Tianyou came to the Tang Palace of Aishan, looking at the sorrow on his face, Li Dacheng sighed helplessly, the problem of food is the most sensitive, it seems that the food shortage has affected the construction site, otherwise the upright Zhan Tianyou, XT website

"Sincerity, does the food shortage have a big impact on the construction site?"

"Second master, the construction site is panicked, since yesterday, the progress of the project has been greatly affected, since half a month ago to the day before yesterday, the price of grain in Jiaozhou has doubled, the day before yesterday, yesterday two days, the price of grain doubled in one day, the meal money of a hundred sons, today can only buy a nest!

We sincerely think that the Tabutou project should be stopped, and we will come forward to replace dry food with gruel to temporarily calm the people's hearts! โ€

Zhan Tianyou has also encountered such a thing in railway engineering, it takes time to solve such a problem, and the best measure now is nothing more than a procrastination.

"Hmmm! Yes, let's raise gruel, and the wages will be stopped, but the food money will still be paid, and it will still be a hundred children, if the price of food continues to double, we will also double the food money. โ€

Zhan Tianyou's procrastination trick, Li Dacheng understood it, this is a good method, as long as he still has food in his hand, he can keep people, and the food money he sends can be regarded as a way to stabilize people's hearts......

"The second master asked Cheng Cheng to come, not only for this, right?"

The matter of stopping work and paying for meals can be solved by Li Erye sitting in Aishan, although Zhan Tianyou is honest and upright, he will also figure out people's hearts, but he doesn't know what Li Erye wants to do with him.

"Hmmm! I asked you to investigate the disaster situation in Shandong in recent years, to see if there is a way to ensure Shandong's grain output this year, to dig wells in dry places, and to dig canals in waterlogged places.

Tabutou stopped work for half a month, and then half a month. Look at the situation and talk about anything else! โ€

Drought and flood to ensure a bumper harvest are basically explained in five words, and drought and flood are the key; as long as the two problems of drought and flood can be solved, more than half of the grain problem in the Qing Dynasty will be solved.

"Second master, the food shortage is an urgent matter, and it should be cut through the mess quickly, now digging wells and repairing canals, I'm afraid it's too late!"

Second Master Li's method. In Zhan Tianyou's view, it is useless to solve the food shortage, and the most critical problem now is to raise grain. When there is a shortage of food, I think of digging wells and repairing canals to fight drought and waterlogging, which is not the right mouth for some donkeys.

"Don't panic! What are you familiar with? Civil engineering!

How to solve the food shortage can use the civil engineering technology on your Zhan Chengcheng, is what you should think, starting from Jiaozhou Mansion, half a month, come up with a plan to solve the drought and flood in the four prefectures of Jiaolai Qingyi. After the food arrived. Tens of thousands of people who were separated from Tabutou were hired locally in the four prefectures of Jiaolai and Qingyi. Before spring sowing, the drought and flood problems in these four provinces should be solved. And then push it to the whole of Shandong!

This year, let's try it in Shandong first, and if the result is good, it will be pushed to the whole country!

Sincerely. Looking at the food problem in the long run, it is still the same sentence, you do yours well, I will do mine well!

And you Zhan Chengcheng has stayed abroad, if there are any good irrigation methods abroad, you may wish to refer to it. โ€

Sometimes you need to work hard, but sometimes you can't, you have to figure it out slowly, the food shortage is a very troublesome problem, and the transportation of grain and grain can only be solved for a while, and it can't be solved for a lifetime, since it has happened, Li Dacheng doesn't mind solving this problem for a long time.

Chemical fertilizers, pesticides, agricultural machinery, this Li Dacheng can't do it now, but the simplest water diversion and drainage, he can still do it, the technical threshold of this thing is not high, and the tactics of crowds are as effective, even if there is a problem, how much evil can it bring about by drilling wells and repairing canals? Even if there are evil consequences, then it will be destroyed!

"The second master mentioned the ocean, but it gave Cheng an idea, Milican, who is across the sea from us, exports a large amount of corn and wheat every year, we might as well transfer grain from overseas, send orders by telegram, and solve the grain shortage in Shandong in the rest of the month!"

Zhan Tianyou's method, Li Dacheng thought of it as early as when he came to Jiaozhou Mansion, this is a good method, but it can't be used now!

"Sincerely! Let's get rotten in the stomach first! This methodใ€At this timeใ€Not available!

Do what you have to do and what you can do first! โ€

There is no explanation, Li Dacheng directly interrupted Zhan Tianyou, who wanted to continue, at this time, didn't he give someone a handle when he came up with this idea?

"If the second master doesn't say it, he doesn't understand!

In addition to Milliken, India and Nanyang also export grain and rice, and the food shortage is an urgent need, so why don't you use the fastest way? โ€

Zhan Tianyou wants to trace back to the source, Li Dacheng doesn't want to offend this engineering master, Zhan Tianyou's method is the fastest, most direct and most effective method, but he doesn't understand what politics is, sometimes, the fastest, most direct and most effective method, often hides huge political traps and crises, overseas grain purchases, once done badly, the consequences are more serious than the defeat of a country on all fronts!

"Qian Laoba, you take Mr. Fei and our cook to see the scenery of Aishan, Cheng, you come with me!"

Li Dacheng was also not sure if Fei Shenfu and the cook were someone else's eyeliner, so he directly drove everyone out of the Tang Palace, took Zhan Tianyou to the main hall where the statue was enshrined, and after looking around to make sure it was safe, Li Dacheng spoke softly.

"Sincerity, food is the lifeblood of a country, do you know?

Food is more important to a country than its national strength, science and technology, industry, and people's hearts!

It is not impossible to buy grain overseas, but it is by no means now, even if grain is purchased overseas, all of this grain cannot be used for satiety!

You know why?

Once the food is controlled by outsiders, the country will never have a chance to turn over, unless there is a world turned upside down with countless casualties.

How much food does it take to control a country? One or two achievements of rations are enough, and there are many places in the south and Shandong that do not grow food, do you know? They grow cotton! These cotton fields are all good fields!

Why? Because you can make money by growing cotton! It's more profitable to be a yarn factory!

Now it's just a Jiaozhou government to build roads and build ports, which has caused a food shortage, once the Grand Canal with millions of strong men is used to start construction, there is a food shortage, do you know what the outcome will be? The world is in chaos!

The emergence of a grain shortage in northern Lubei at this time, for us, is not a disaster but a great blessing, which makes Lao Tzu see the great risk behind the Grand Canal!

Whenever. Food must remain self-sufficient, this food shortage, we must use our Qing grain to solve it!

Once you use overseas food, the foreign devils will see our weakest side, these years of disaster and famine in the Qing Dynasty, the food has been a little beyond our means.

If foreign devils discover our weakness, what will they do? If I do it, I will take advantage of the Jingu war and the plague to block the sea routes of the Qing Dynasty and cut off the supply of cotton cloth and cotton yarn by sea.

There is no foreign cotton, cotton yarn. The price of domestic cotton in the Qing Dynasty will inevitably rise exponentially, what will this bring? This will allow all the land that can be used to grow cotton.

You may ask. We don't have enough food, so how can we take all the fields and use them to grow cotton?

What about foreign food? Who cares when the vast majority of people can make ends meet? Moreover, the vast majority of the land in the Qing Dynasty is in the hands of the landlords, and they do not worry about eating and drinking, and they have more profits. They'll plant anything! They don't care if the people live or die.

Foreign food supports the lifeblood of the country. Three or two years later, once there was a sudden shortage of food. What will be the consequences? The consequence is a famine even worse than the Dingwuqi famine!

At this time, what does someone want to do? Destroy our country. It's also a breeze!

Don't think that the foreign devils won't do this, when the interests are enough, they can cooperate against us. Think about it! In three or five years, how much is the interest in occupying the next uninhabited country?

Lack of food, food shortage, we are not afraid, we are afraid that at this time we will rush to the doctor, show our weakness in front of outsiders, once we are caught in the weakness, no one will be able to return to the sky! โ€

What did the Qing Dynasty rely on to stop the economic aggression of foreign devils? A self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy! Forty years have passed since the British invaded China, and the self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy is still the most important weapon against the economic aggression of foreign devils.

The Qing Dynasty does not import foreign grain, the United States imports a lot of rich and strong flour every year, but the purpose of its import is very different from curbing the food shortage, which is a luxury for the rich class in food!

Once Li Dacheng imports a large amount of grain for subsistence in Shandong, it is impossible not to attract the attention of foreign devils, and the grain that Shandong lacks is not 100 tons or 1,000 tons, but tens of millions of stone of grain, nearly 30,000 tons of grain per million stone, at least dozens of ships, and it is impossible not to attract the attention of foreign devils for grain imports of such a scale!

Let the foreign devils pay attention to it, it is to remind them, what is a colony? It is for the great powers to produce cheap industrial raw materials, cotton is only one of them, once the foreign devils catch this flaw, only cotton and a large amount of imported grain, the foreign devils can easily destroy the already precarious small peasant economy.

Therefore, the opening of grain imports must not be opened when there is a grain shortage, and it is not impossible to import grain, but it is necessary to stagger the grain shortage!

"Second master, you're short-sighted!"

Why did Zhan Tianyou build the railway, the purpose is also simple, rely on transportation to enrich the country and strengthen the people, Li Erye's statement is logically rigorous, after listening to the disadvantages of a large amount of imported grain, he also sweated in the winter.

"It's not short-sighted, I also have the idea of using foreign devils, but in this matter, we can't take the initiative, just do what we want to do, cover it up, and refuse to welcome it!"

Can't import a large amount of grain, Li Dacheng is talking about the initiative, if it is passive, the meaning is different, the Qing Dynasty imported because of the lack of grain, and the foreign devils exported because of surplus, although it seems that each takes what he needs, but these are two completely different concepts, Zhan Tianyou is afraid that it is difficult to understand this, because this is economic and political, people who don't understand, can only listen to other people's explanations......

"Second master, what is this statement?"

"Horizontally, it is a peak on the side of the ridge, and the height is different from far and near. I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain!

Chengcheng, do you know why I am the second master? Do you know why I was able to do these things in Jiaozhou Mansion?

Because Lao Tzu sees far and thinks a lot, Lao Tzu glances at a hundred years and everything turns in the blink of an eye, so Lao Tzu is the second master! Therefore, Lao Tzu is invincible! โ€

Leaving Zhan Tianyou with a vague artistic conception, Li Dacheng also talked about his own ability, no matter how history changes, the general road will not change, what is this general road? It's the level of science and technology! That's the key to turning history around!

Political means, means of war, cultural aggression, these are not worth mentioning compared to science and technology, what is technology? Science and technology are food, weapons, economy, war, politics, industry, and history, and you can only create history by repeating history and following the footsteps of science and technology.

Only use the existing science and technology, go out of your own way, according to the history of the development of science and technology, step by step to show your ability, should be Li Dacheng's own path, science and technology can be many things, but why is science and technology born? Born of people! And for what is the reason for the birth of man? Born of Food! If there is no food, there will be no people, and without people, this technology will not be any.

All development must be based on food and clothing, and everything is empty talk if the food problem is not solved.

A few words with Zhan Tianyou also allowed Li Dacheng to grasp his own path, and this food shortage appeared in time, allowing him to see the road ahead in time.

"Second master, I still don't understand!"

"Humph! If you don't understand, just watch! In the future, you may be able to see it!

But the future is always the future, we still have to look at the current things, your Zhan Cheng's immediate thing is to solve the drought and flood problems in the whole Shandong, and if you do this, the role is much greater than if you build 10,000 miles of railways and 1,000 wharves.

Go ahead! โ€

Li Dacheng stood at the door of the Tang Palace, but there was a helpless wry smile on the corner of his mouth, another meaning of not being able to import grain in large quantities is that he would rather watch the food shortage continue, once the plan is unfavorable, Lubei will be cannibalistic.
