(TXT ) (TXT ) (TXT ) "Second master, there is a grain shortage in northern Lubei!"

Seeing that Second Master Li was a little unconvinced, Wang Maozhai repeated it again. (TXT )。 し0。

"Bastard! But someone stumbled Lao Tzu and intercepted the transportation of grain from the south to the north? Or is someone hoarding grain in Shandong? ”

There were two main reasons for the grain shortage in the Qing Dynasty, one was a large-scale famine, and the other was a man-made disaster.

In the past two years, although the Qing Dynasty has said that there have been continuous disasters and famines, but the southern several major grain-producing areas are still smooth, from the south to mobilize hundreds of thousands of stone grain north to Shandong, this matter should not be difficult, Lubei, as long as there is more than 100,000 stone of grain there will be no food shortage, there is a food shortage, which means that the situation has reached a critical moment.

Once the food shortage becomes no food, and there is no food in the winter and spring when there is no food output, countless people will starve to death! In the area of Jiaozhou Mansion, there are now 200,000 strong men, counting the family, at least 300,000 or 400,000 people, and the specific number of Li Dacheng's family members has not been counted, but no matter how much, once there is no food in northern Lubei, then he Li Dacheng will be in big trouble.

As soon as he heard the word grain shortage in northern Lubei, Li Dacheng's first thought was that Yuan Shikai gave himself a killer blow, and the food shortage was a killer weapon, so that the matter could only be solved with a knife and gun!

"Second master, someone forcibly bought the grain from the south, but there was a reason for it!"

It is said that Li Erye's murderous spirit is great, this time Wang Maozhai can be regarded as a personal experience, just now those eyes are like a spring breeze, in a blink of an eye, it is no different from a wild dog that has eaten a dead man in the famine season, and the forest is cold and cold as if he will choose someone to eat in the next moment.

After practicing Tai Chi for at least fifteen years, Wang Maozhai thought that his courage was still superior, but after seeing Li Erye's murderous gaze, he only felt that he was sitting in the ice cave all of a sudden, his scalp was numb, and his tailbone was cold!

"It happened for a reason. What happened for a reason? Tell me about it! ”

Rubbing the roots of his teeth, he asked Wang Maozhai fiercely, the killing intent in Li Dacheng's heart was so strong that he couldn't dissolve, this food shortage involved not just Jiaozhou Mansion, but the entire northern Lubei! At least millions of people will face the crisis of running out of food, and once the food is gone, there will be no more Boxers?

"Some time ago, most of the grain in Luzhong and Luxi was transported to the northern part of Lu, and Luzhong and Luxi were also short of grain. Now they also eat more than five taels of silver and one stone of southern rice, even so, Luzhong and Luxi also have signs of food shortage.

The grain that the sixth master brought from the south. Now there is no way to pass Luxi and Luzhong, once the grain arrives in Shandong, it will be sold out in an instant!

Second master, the reason for this food shortage is ours! In a month and a half, we have eaten most of Shandong's grain until next summer! ”

listened to Wang Maozhai's explanation. Li Dacheng sat on the bed. He understood the reason, it was indeed Jiaozhou Mansion. It would be more accurate to say that it is on oneself.

In the winter and spring when there is no work, it is a good day for a family of seven or eight people to eat a pound of grain a day. The vast majority of people in Shandong, at this time, can only eat two meals of gruel in their mouths every day.

Railway branch line, Tabutou port, Huangdao quarrying. It is all heavy physical labor, nearly 200,000 people work, and the amount of food consumed in a day is astronomical for them.

Different from people who don't make a lot of effort, a meal and a half pound of grain are enough to eat, but people who don't have the strength to die can easily eat two or three catties of grain at a meal, and after steaming, half a pound of sorghum rice wotou, people who have a dead force in Jiaozhou Mansion can eat three in ninety percent of a meal, and it is not uncommon to eat five or six meals, and some people with a large belly can eat seven or eight or even more than ten.

Not to mention the people who work on the construction site, let's talk about these few in the Tang Palace! Li Dacheng, Qian Laoba, Li Chengyou, Fei Shenfu plus a Jiaozhou cook, a total of five people, four meals a day, how much do you eat a day? The sheep bought from the outside, one a day is not enough, but also with some chicken, duck and fish meat, white flour steamed buns are an average of two drawers, potatoes, cabbage is not considered rice.

The steamed bun weighing half a kilogram of the palm gets up at four o'clock and eats one person; Two hours of morning class, the second meal at nine o'clock, Li Dacheng has to eat at least three, Qian Laoba has more four or five, Li Cunyi, who is in his fifties, has about the same amount of food as Li Dacheng, and Fei Shenfu has at least two steamed buns at a meal; Lunch starts at ten o'clock, and lunch is eaten at one or two o'clock, which is similar to breakfast; After lunch, I had a few boxing trips, evening classes at four o'clock, dinner at eight o'clock in the evening, and a lot of wine and meat to eat.

This is the food that five people have to eat in a day, and Li Dacheng alone has to eat almost six catties of steamed buns and six catties of meat, why do he eat so much? The consumption is too great, the first thing in the morning class, a trip up and down Aishan, at least five kilometers away, only half an hour, after the long-distance run is half an hour of strength training, after strength training, it is half an hour of sparring training, after the sparring is over, or half an hour of strength training, a trip to the morning class to take off a layer of skin.

From 4 o'clock in the morning to 8 o'clock in the evening, for nearly 16 hours, you have to squat and walk when eating, you have to take a big top when dealing with affairs, and the time you can sit down and rest is only an hour a day, which is also the hardship and tiredness of practicing.

The strong man on the construction site, every day is four or five o'clock to get up at seven or eight o'clock to finish, the same is fourteen or fifteen hours of working time, in addition to eating, are all strong physical labor, sorghum rice this thing is not hungry, eat less you have to get tired to lie down, not more food can be done?

It is not uncommon for a person to be able to eat almost half a month's ration for a family in one day, and more than 200,000 pot-bellied men can eat more than half of Shandong's winter grain in a month and a half.

"During this time, there should be at least hundreds of thousands of stones of grain in the sixth place, all of which have been intercepted by Lu Zhong and Lu Xi?"

The problem is in oneself than in the enemy, but it is much more serious, in the enemy, it can only be regarded as the grain channel is cut off, and there is no problem in the connection, but it is in oneself, that is, the food is not enough, in winter and spring, Li Dacheng can not conjure up food out of thin air, once there is really no food available, then the trouble is really too big!

"The second master, the sixth master also gave a message, saying that it was because of the Queen Mother's return to Luan, the canal should retain water, not allow navigation, and transport grain by land. The cost is at least twice that of the waterway, and now the sixth master is already losing money selling grain over there, and there is not no food in the south, but for a while, the pack horses on the land route are not manpower enough, and they can't be transported! ”

The transportation of grain in the north mainly relies not on pack horses but on manpower, one or two people in a small cart, pushing up and down a thousand catties of grain, step by step from Jiangsu to Shandong. If you can walk thirty or fifty miles a day, you are a good man, and most people can travel twenty or thirty miles a day, and the lack of transportation capacity consumes too much. It was stuck in Li Dacheng's throat at once.

"How much food is there over there?"

"The telegram said that there are still 300,000 stones!"

"Not enough! Mao Zhai, you go back and send a message to Lao Liu, let him see where there is still a grain source, 300,000 stone is far from enough, from now until the summer grain and autumn grain harvest. At least half a year away. The food we need here is only about 2 million stones, and 300,000 is too little!

Let him find. As long as people can eat and fill their stomachs. Anything can be eaten.

After returning to Fucheng, you will let people find out how much grain is stored in Jiaoao and whether there are any freighters docked at the port.

The sixth also asked him to take a look. See if there are any empty freighters in the major commercial ports? ”

Between the elbows and armpits, and the main reason is in his own person, although he was anxious, Li Dacheng had no expression on his face, took off the bear skin on his body, lay on the brocade, and motioned Fei Shenfu to continue to massage himself.

"Second Master!"

Wang Maozhai, who listened to the instructions, did not leave, the food shortage is not a trivial matter, the fifth master said, once there is a problem, the only one who can solve it is the second master, there is no way to solve the food shortage, he will not leave the Tang Palace.

"Second master, the food shortage is not a trivial matter, you have to come up with an idea!"

continued to do massage for Li Erye, and Fei Shenfu was also helping Wang Maozhai, who was embarrassed, to speak.

"Uncle Shi, the people of Lubei are at least three or five million, and once they have no food to eat, they will eat people!"

Li Cunyi, who was also in the morning class, also helped to talk, and his fists did not leave his hands, even if he was in his fifties, Li Cunyi's morning class here was also quite intense, he glanced at Wang Maozhai in front of him, and Li Cunyi who was steaming all over his body, Li Dacheng sighed lightly.

"There is always a solution to things, what is the mess?

What if there's chaos here? What will happen to Jiaozhou Mansion?

There is a shortage of grain in northern Lubei, and what is lacking is only the grain circulating in the market, and there is still some grain in the hands of the people.

This is the time to solve the problem in the past two months, I am not a god, it is impossible to conjure food out of thin air, if I don't find out where there is food, what do you let me solve?

Mao Zhai, what I just told you is the solution to the food shortage, go do these first, give me an answer as soon as possible, tell the people below, what to do, if there is no food in Jiaozhou Mansion, the work over there in Tabutou, stop first!

When you go back, let's go to Tabutou! Let Zhan Yancheng come to Aishan! ”

Grain shortage, but there is not much grain circulating in the market, not to say that there is no grain to eat every day in today's grain shortage, although there is a grain shortage in Lubei, but the people must have grain in their hands, grain storage is life, the people will not easily sell the grain in their hands, relying on these sporadic grain stocks, it should be possible to delay for a month or two.

Just like Li Dacheng said, if there is really no food to transport, that is the real trouble, as long as there is a food source, the problem can be solved, the most afraid is that there is no food anywhere, at that time, it is really the gods who come and cannot be saved, unless they can conjure food out of thin air.

Wang Maozhai, who looked worried, left, Fei Shenfu's massage also dealt with some things, and the breakfast after the morning class, except for a Qian Laoba, Li Dacheng, Li Cunyi, and Fei Shenfu didn't eat much, and the lifeblood of the grain people, once there was really no food to eat, it was not a sentence that could be pushed over when it was a big trouble.

"Su Tang, after dinner, how about let's try the power of the Copper Protective Fist?"

I want to ease the atmosphere, but then I said, the atmosphere at the dinner table is still the same solemn, and food is a matter of life and death!

"Alas...... Good! ”

Bitterly responded to his uncle's request, Li Cunyi was also very helpless, he was a good hand at boxing and teaching boxing, but dealing with the food shortage was none other than Li Erye and Uncle Li, and he could only watch from the sidelines.

After breakfast, Li Dacheng took Li Cunyi to try more than a dozen pairs of copper fists sent by Wang Maozhai.

The fist guard is like that, as long as you can bring it, the two fists will also have the ability to open the stele and crack the stone, leaving the roughest copper plate fist guard, Li Dacheng let the three of them choose a pair each, and he himself chose a pair.

"Su Tang, you take this pair of copper plate fists, take a walk around the shacks, and see if the size is appropriate!"

Copper plate fist, although rough, but the simplest to manufacture, at this time there is a punch, this is similar to the minting machine, after a while Li Dacheng will build a coin factory in Jiaozhou Mansion, this copper fist is also a good disguise.

"Uncle Shi, big things are important!"

The food shortage came, and seeing that his uncle Li Dacheng still had the heart to do these trivial things, Li Cunyi couldn't hold back his temper.

"You can't die if you faint! At this time, you can't mess around, you can do what you have to do!

After going down the mountain, you are looking for Mao Zhai, and then make a pair of four-hole hollow fists, so as to save materials! ”

Watching his nephew reluctantly descend the mountain, Li Dacheng didn't say much, and continued to practice his Xingyi Boxing, not long after the lunch class started, Li Dacheng's stomach was rumbling, he didn't eat enough breakfast, and the amount of exercise was too great, and he endured the feeling of burning fire in his stomach to complete the afternoon class, and Li Dacheng's face was a little more fireworks.
