Chapter 255: Faith

When the big bell is not there, the little bell can't sleep, and it's not steady. She didn't know why.

Fortunately, in the middle of the night, General Zhan came back with the dusty Wang Yan. After coming back, Wang Yan didn't sleep and started working again, and Wang Yan never had the habit of chatting with the little bell.

That's fine, Little Bell doesn't like to talk to Big Bird, just watch him quietly. When talking to him, he likes to talk back, and the whole person looks very jerked.

Winter is coming soon, and food is what Wang Yan is most worried about.

It seems that if you pinch Cao Shouyi and pinch his seven inches, you can extort money. At the least, the Funing Army was appointed by the emperor, and it had a reorganized army ration and salary, and the actual personnel establishment was now only 200 people.

The kindness of the Great Song Dynasty lies in the fact that the money given to the big soldiers is not much, but the military rations are very sufficient, and those grains cannot be sold in theory, but in fact they have been selling them all the time. In particular, the northwest region has the most abundant military rations, and civilian grain is the most scarce, so the prices are very high.

Then more than 2,000 people have surplus military rations, and the volume of 10,000 people in Funing County is passable to save a little soup kitchen. At this point, Dayan will not break his word, and can do what he promised to those slave laborers at that time, "no worse than before".

But that's not enough.

The construction of the city wall will start immediately. There must be enough food and they must not be allowed to work hard in a state of starvation.

Then Wang Yan's strategy was not to serve, but to spend money to hire them, and then let them buy their own food. In this way, an atmosphere and cycle of self-reliance can be formed. Then there is a problem involved here: there must be food for them to buy, otherwise it will be a situation where there is no market for it, and it is useless to take the money.

In this sense, food has really become the issue of the moment. The military rations of the Funing Army are only the final bottom line, which can keep the people of Funing County from starving to death. However, in order to build and develop, before the cultivated land is fully utilized next year, it must find its own way out, that is, buy grain from outside at a high price and sell it to the people of Funing County at a reasonable price.

This is what Dayan's so-called food subsidy program.

This is very important, giving porridge to all of them is also a subsidy, and buying at a high price and selling it to them at a low price is also a subsidy, but Wang Yan chose the latter.

And Wang Yan doesn't want to "import" rice, it is obviously full of food, and the rice bought from other places will definitely not be cheaper than the local Shaanxi, because when it comes to the grain merchants in the world, they are in a group.

Feed is king, that thing is much more nutritious than rice, but cheaper than rice. If you only eat rice, you will be as thin as a monkey, but if you only eat feed, you will be completely fine, you will become stronger and stronger, you will have fewer and fewer diseases, and your life expectancy will be greatly improved.

The only trouble is that it doesn't sound good, and there is a suspicion of raising people as animals.

Fortunately, the people of the Funing Army have been eating this kind of thing from beginning to end, and Little Bell loves to eat this kind of thing very much. That's the propaganda that leads by example.

Speaking of the feed industry, the most developed productivity is in Shuzhou, which is the water and soil where Dayan started. But Shuzhou is too far away from this road, the variables are too great, and the transportation cost is too high.

The sub-developed productive forces are in Bianjing, which is much closer to this side than Shuzhou, but even if you can take the waterway to Hezhongfu, it is still far away, and the cost will still be very high.

Therefore, in the case of falling out with the Suide Army, through various weighted calculations, now, the most suitable feed procurement base in Funing County is Hedong Taiyuan Mansion, Han Qi's nest.

Uncle Cao Ji is very enthusiastic to do this. Because as long as Han Qi is dry, the Bianjing Coal Yard can sell a few production lines that are more advanced than those of the Great Song Dynasty to the old Han Shuangshuang at a high price.

Yes, it is no secret that the feed formula is not a secret now, but Wang Yan's own formula has been optimized, and he has summed up a complete set of production lines with quite good efficiency.

Other private production workshops are small in scale, backward in terms of efficiency, for the time being, Wang Yan's production line is not sold much, those small workshops can survive because the transportation efficiency of the Great Song Dynasty is very backward, and the biggest cost of a commodity from a place to 100 million land is not the commodity itself, but the transportation loss.

Then at this stage, the labor cost of the Great Song Dynasty is very cheap, which is the reason why the backward workshops can survive. Because of Shuzhou's current productivity-weighted frantic freight, there is no advantage over small workshops.

Especially when it comes to the production line of roasting and compression, only Wang Yan has this Dongdong, because only the Shenji Battalion has always used compressed feed to make military rations, and other armies are useless, and there are many factors, political reasons, reputation reasons, various religious thinking, feng shui superstitions, etc., are restricting the promotion of this initiative.

The technology and production line of the coal yard are certainly not cheap. However, as long as the compressed military rations can be sold stably, it is no wonder that Han Qi loves farming so much.

So in the early days, when Da Yan asked Lao Han to borrow grain, he didn't say anything and didn't respond, but if he signed a long-term subscription contract with Hedong, he shouldn't be unable to get along with finance and employment, right? That's him, Han Qi's political achievements, no.

"That's it." After all kinds of calculations and sorting out the clues, Wang Yan stretched his waist, and now it was late at night.

"What have you decided?" The little bell asked curiously beside him.

"I plan to buy the kind of military rations you like to eat from the Han Qi Xianggong in Hedong at a high price, and sell them cheaply to the people of Funing County." Wang Yan said.

"That's stupid, isn't it?" The little bell is very childlike.

As a result, he was slapped on the back of the head again, and Wang Yan scolded: "Little Wang, I am such a smart person, how dare you call me stupid?" It's a very good deal. ”

The little bell said: "I still don't see that it's a good deal, but it's true that I lost money." It's clear that you have a good heart and deliberately give everyone benefits, but you give it in a very weird way. ”

Wang Yan waved his hand and said, "Don't be verbose, you don't have to worry about that." You said well, is the military ration delicious? ”

"It's delicious." The little bell licks the skin of her mouth.

"Spicy, now if I let you go, will you still escape from prison?" Wang Yan said.

"No, I don't want to leave this place. I'm the same whether I let it go or not. The little bell whispered.

Wang Yan said: "For the sake of mercy, the official still decided to remove your shackles and neck bells, this is not to acquit you, but to count your good performance outside of prison." From now on, you will still be a prisoner, but you can move freely within the walls of Funing County. In addition, in view of your demagoguery, I will give you a reward, and you will spread my glorious and righteous image among the people as my gold medal agent. Visually, you will have a group of clever little children as fox friends and dog friends, now, you are going to bewitch them, as fish food for fishing, now I allow you to take out some precious military rations, for marketing pyramid schemes, through your fox friends and dog friends, slowly promote this thing as a higher grade than rice, this is my great cause, your mission. ”

"Always ready."

Little Bell's brainwashing is basically done, and the appearance of the little soldier is immediately correct......

Damn it's getting colder, the situation in Funing County is getting more and more serious, and people are full of worries about it.

In a corner of the city, shelter from the wind, a group of unclothed children gather here to take shelter from the wind and cold, and their mood is as bad as the weather.

"Huh, Nana...... You are Nana. ”

When the little bell was coming, the children swept away their gloomy emotions and happily gathered around.

"Nana, you've grown taller, and your face is much better, I almost can't tell it's you."

"A while ago, I heard that something happened to your family and disappeared, and no one knows where you went, and we are all worried about you. If you are not there, we will not dare to go out of the city to pull wild fruits, because some fruits will eat the dead, and we do not understand. ”

"Nana, when are you going to take us fishing, you are very good at fishing."

"I definitely remember that the last time you successfully dug a bird's nest was under your leadership, and you were always the one with the most means."

"There is news that you were captured and killed by Lord Zhijun, he is an evil person, and we have been worried about you recently."

The children were talking crookedly, and it was clear that they were very happy to see the little bell again.

Little Bell said: "You have heard that the series, Lord Zhijun looks hateful but that is the surface, he will never be a person who can get involved with evil. ”

A little boy said: "Yes, yes, or Nana is smart, my mother also said that Lord Zhijun is a good person, my father basically only has half a life when he goes home, and my mother said that if it wasn't for the county government to come forward to take people home, they would definitely die in this winter." ”

Another little girl said: "We are a miserable area here, Lord Zhijun may be a good person, but winter is coming soon, I heard that the grain in Funing County this year is less than before, I don't know how many of us will die at the beginning of spring next year?" ”

In this way, everyone is sad, because every year after winter, there are always a few familiar faces, and they will never be seen again. This is the harsh reality.

Little Bell took out some compressed military rations and distributed them to everyone, and said, "Now this girl is nicknamed Little Bell, and she is a big man with hands and eyes, and I will protect you." I can tell you responsibly that there will be no deaths this winter, not a single one. There will be food as well as charcoal fires for heating. ”

I don't know what this compression block is, but they trust the little bell very much, and immediately devoured half of it, and put the rest in their arms, planning to take it home.

"You stay first, and listen to me, girl, so that you can understand the magic of this dry food."

Next, Little Bell left them behind and started holding the MLM class. The syllabus and lesson plan were drawn up by the obscene big cloud, and the little bell was responsible for reading the book.

They are all little fools who have heard about the series, and they have a special trust in the little bells, so the children's eyes light up when they all listen.

"This kind of artifact is so good, it makes Nana grow so much taller in a short period of time, and her face is so good. It's a pity that only big people with hands and eyes can get it, and ordinary people can't buy it. A little boy said in frustration.

"If you can buy it, you will be able to buy it soon, and it will be shipped from the distant Hedong region in a steady stream before winter." Little Bell said.

"Well, Nana said that if you can buy it, you can definitely buy it, but it's hard for us to do it if we don't have money." A little girl licked her lips and said.

The little bell said: "This is not a problem, as a well-informed person, this girl understands that the county government will recruit workers soon." ”

"Ahh I have to serve and work again! Winter? At this point, the children were all pale with fright.

Little Bell said, "That's not the case, this time it will be a real recruitment, work voluntarily, work will be paid, and everyone will be able to buy this delicious military ration by themselves." There are many, many specific types of work, so many that it is unimaginable, and there is no restriction on men and women, as long as the people of Funing County want to work. But for the time being, women and children can only do handymen, but even if they are handymen, they have 10 to 12 copper coins a day. ”

"Twelve copper coins, not iron coins?"

The children were stunned, this was almost close to the treatment of those soldiers, and it was much more cost-effective than conspiring to fish and dig birds' nests.

The little bell said, "Yes. And as long as you are willing to learn, you will have the opportunity to progress, and if you grow into a skilled position such as carpentry and ironworker, I heard that you can get up to 50 copper coins a day. ”

Another little girl said in frustration: "In this case, your family has really become a big man, and your father can get fifty copper coins." However, my father could only hunt, not a mechanic. It's a pity that there is no prey in the vicinity, and even if there is prey, it can't be sold at a high price. ”

Little Bell smiled: "You call it a series that thinks too much." It is true that technicians are paid well, but I have news that anyone in Funing County who has experience in fighting horse thieves can directly eat the imperial grain and join the public security or military forces. Your father is a ruthless man, once when a horse thief broke into the grain depot in Funing County, your father resisted, but I saw it with my own eyes, and when the time comes, I testify and recommend your father to be a soldier and eat food. ”

Now the little girl laughed like a little tomato.

Khan, the little bell demagoguery does have a few brushes, and there is no resistance. The efficiency is much higher than Wang Yan's own work, so in a few days, although there is still no substantial change, the folk customs of Funing County have changed greatly, and what everyone is spreading by word of mouth is the rumors about the little bell walking.

Coupled with the fact that Wang Yan killed people in the German army and brought a large number of men home, this is a substantial thing, and with those rumors, the obscure atmosphere in Funing County was swept away in a short period of time, and suddenly, they were full of expectations for the future. It's actually called faith......
