"This Xiaoice period has a lot to do with the activity of sunspots in the sun, this sun is a big fireball, there is a substance burning on it, some burn fast, better, so the heat emitted by this sun is very large, a lot, such a time lasts for a long time, some for hundreds of years, some for more than a thousand years." Shang Wu said. Hu Zhao was a little surprised, or rather, he had never heard of such a doctrine, as if Shangwu had seen it with his own eyes.

"But sometimes, the sun is also lazy, and the speed and degree of burning are not as good as in normal years, which means that the earth, that is, our earth, does not receive enough heat, and if this heat is insufficient, the earth will not receive enough heat, and in this way, it will affect the earth." Shang Wu said.

"Earth, sir, what is the earth?" Kuroko asked.

"Well, it's our earth, it's a sphere, it's a big, big sphere, and later, I'll make something called an astronomical telescope and let you see it, and you'll know. That's it for now. "Shangwu can't let his men cross down.

"Oh." Kuroko scratched his head and agreed.

"This earth, many places are the sea, and most of this rain comes from the sea area, and when there is less heat, there is less water vapor, and there is less water vapor. Then there will be fewer clouds in the heavens. There are fewer clouds. There will be less rainfall. In this drought and lack of rain, there are many natural disasters. Shang Wu said.

"yes. It seems to make sense, yes, isn't that how things have been going on in recent years? We farmers know these things best. The harvest decreased, but the taxes of the imperial court did not decrease, so the time was not as good as the sky. One shook his head and said helplessly.

"Yes, yes, yes." A lot of people are worried.

"Sir, has this been going on for hundreds of years?" Zhang Li suddenly remembered that Shang Wu had said that this would last for hundreds of years. When they thought of this, they were very nervous.

"Yes, for hundreds of years." Shang Wu said. Upon hearing such a reply, all the people were taken aback. Even Mr. Nahu couldn't sit still. He remembered it and asked carefully, but he felt that it was very abrupt to ask rashly, such a statement was terrible, and how did this general know? This made Hu Zhaodu feel very anxious.

This is exactly what Shang Wu hoped to achieve, during the Xiaoice period, Shang Wu had studied such data, according to Zhu Kezhen's Chinese meteorological history data, China experienced four Xiaoice periods, and the Three Kingdoms and two Jin. It was during the Second Xiaoice period. And each time, it will cause large-scale casualties and population loss, which is not undeprising.

"Be quiet, be quiet, I just say this, everyone is not enough, may not believe this, but some facts can explain such a problem, for example, in the previous history, from the end of the Yin Shang to the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, this was a period of Xiaoice, the temperature in the north decreased, the weather was dry, grain production was reduced, and the society would be in turmoil, which may last for more than a few decades, or even longer. Such a turbulent society will cause great losses. Shang Wu said. Hearing this, Hu Zhao also began to nod silently. Because everyone knows that history.

"Yes, I heard from the elders that Jiang Taigong seems to be in that period, and at that time, it seems to be the period when King Wu was fighting." An old squad leader who seemed to be very knowledgeable said. As soon as the others heard it, the time was right. Then they started to get worried. Because in the next few decades, society is likely to be in turmoil.

"Well, sir, how is this good?" More people asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, in the last years of Yin Shang, didn't China come over like this? It's just that in the violent turmoil of society, many people will die. If the population is declining, food production will be rapidly reduced, and what should we do in such a situation? Shang Wu said.

"The time is not as good as the location, and the location is not as good as the people. Natural disasters are not terrible, what is terrible is man-made disasters, if the current government can come up with a positive attitude to solve this problem, this problem is not very terrible, but what is terrible is that the government can't manage these at all. What to do? The only way is for us to help ourselves, to unite ourselves and solve this problem on our own. We should remember that together, man will conquer heaven. Shang Wu said.

"Yes, unite, man will conquer the sky." Kuroko was the first to stand up and wave his arms and say loudly.

"United, people will win the day, united, people will win the day." It's a momentum, but it's also a determination.

"I wonder how the general raises food?" Hu Zhao met with Shangwu after the meeting and asked such a question.

"This, to put it this way, the world is big, and we may not be able to reach many places in our lifetime." Shang Wu said.

"During the Xiaoice period, the impact on China was the greatest, because China has a monsoon climate. The rainfall comes mainly from the influence of the southeast monsoon. But if we expand the land beyond the Central Plains, this situation can be solved very well. Maybe then we will have another problem, that is, too much food, too little population. Shang Wu said with a smile.

"Current?" Hu Zhao asked the second question.

"At present, the current problem is how to concentrate the land, and if the cultivation is dispersed, the possibility that individuals will be able to bear the risk of natural disasters is very low, but if there is a state and a guarantee from the government, I think the problem can be solved partially. After all, the power of people is still very large. The Agricultural Bank of China was established under such an idea. China is a traditional smallholder economy. His land was scattered. And the concentration of land, which is a trend, cannot be resisted. Shang Wen said. In fact, Chinese history has been going around in circles, or rather, it has been spinning and not getting out of such circles. At the beginning of a dynasty, the land was scattered, and with the evolution of the dynasty and the passage of time, the land began to slowly concentrate, and at the end of a dynasty, the land annexation was extremely serious, such as the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Because the land resources are concentrated in the hands of a small number of people, while the others do not have access to resources, and the industry cannot be further upgraded, this directly leads to more serious unrest, because it is equivalent to many people losing their jobs. The unemployed have lost their source of income, and think about what will happen to society. Every time foreign economists study here, they always don't understand why the Chinese can't concentrate on using the land. It's an idea of their own, and they always like to divide the land as if that would solve the employment problem, rather than looking for another way to solve the problem.

"Land concentration, the efficiency of resource utilization will be greatly improved, which is a good thing for us, we can plant a single cash crop, manpower, material resources can be concentrated and effective to solve this problem, farm, is a trend of future development." Shang Wu said.

"Hmm. We'll see. "Hu Zhao is very smart and wise, he knows that Shangwu must have a solution, how to solve this solution, he still doesn't know, but he knows that as long as he waits patiently, this problem will inevitably be solved. But all this told today is enough to make his head think for many days. He felt that it was not in vain that he could hear such remarks here.

"Xiaoice period. Interesting, interesting. Hu Zhao shook his head and left it all.

Day 2. Shang Wu began to mobilize his soldiers to volunteer in various villages, the so-called voluntary help is to help them dig tunnels, or busy with agricultural work. Because Shang Wu found that some troops were indeed not very suitable for fighting, for example, the first few troops, they were very comfortable in fighting, they dared to fight, and they dared to fight, while the next few troops were not very suitable for this kind of combat mode, and their enthusiasm was not very high, so Shang Wu had to transfer those troops to do some production things. At the same time, he also gave some propaganda to the military cadres, asking them to give more propaganda and explain some things about the Agricultural Bank.

In the seventh company, the company commander took one of his own squads to level the land for an old lady. The eldest mother is a native of nearby Shangshe Village, with two sons, because the family is poor, they are already twenty-seven or eighteen years old and have not yet married, there is no way, whenever the family has some savings, the government will come to collect taxes, the number of times is more and more year by year, originally the two sons can marry one person, now, no one is gone. Because there is no money to pay taxes. Two sons were conscripted into forced labor. Went to the state and state.

"Auntie, beans have been planted in other people's fields. Su also went to the ground. "The commander of the Seventh Company is a farmer, an absolutely and absolutely honest man, he was just an ordinary soldier under Shangwu before, and his name is there. It's called Li Nong. Originally, he was just an honest peasant, it was okay to follow orders to fight, let him fight by himself, he felt that he could not do such a thing. This is like many ordinary Chinese peasants, once they enter the state of guerrilla warfare, their subjective initiative needs to be brought into full play, but Li Nong is not such a person who can take the initiative to give full play to his subjective initiative, at least on the battlefield, he will not do such things.

"Hey, there's no way. I am an old woman who can only plant one acre of land, and I originally had two sons to plant these more than ten acres of land. Now that the two sons are gone, I, an old woman, really can't plant. The eldest lady said helplessly.

"Auntie, why don't you deposit the land into the Agricultural Bank of our team. That's a place. Li Nong persuaded. He is an authentic farmer, and he can turn corners when he speaks, so he really burns high incense.

"What, don't save, don't save, listen to the people in the village, if you save it, you won't come out. This is the government defrauding the land. "The eldest lady is also a real person.

"Auntie, no. Our team is full of honest people. Auntie, I won't tell you, seeing you is like seeing my mother, but unfortunately, his old man went early. I, I didn't catch up with the filial piety. Li Nong said honestly.

"I see it." The eldest lady said.

"Auntie, this land is deposited in the bank, and your old family can have food to eat. You don't need to buy this land, this land is still yours, and you can get food every month. Not only do you get food, but you also get some money. Our Red Turban Army is stationed here, and the safety of your old man is also guaranteed. Li Nong persuaded.

"Really?" The eldest lady asked.

"Yes. Yes. Our chief is a man of great ability. I know how to do it, my aunt, there are few of us, but our chief is a man with a spell, and he can borrow heavenly thunder from the sky. Otherwise, how can we ensure our safety? The chief also said. This is hundreds of years later. The world is not at peace. There is less rainy weather. The land will be dry. There are many natural disasters. Li Nong said as he worked.

"What? God is dying. The eldest lady was frightened and quickly exclaimed.

"Auntie is not afraid. Our chief said. Just gather together. What's it called, a piece. "Li Nong is really a peasant, he didn't even know the word unity, and he chanted it a few times yesterday, and he actually forgot it. It can be seen that he is a person who can't be an official. But fortunately, he is honest and can quickly absorb the trust of others, which is incomparable to other officers, for example, Kuroko, his patience is not stopped, and his temper is extremely short-tempered, so he can't do such a thing. But Li Nong can do that.

"Hey, big farmer. The eldest lady thought about it. It's up to you. The eldest mother thought about it, and her two sons didn't know where they were. People are old. There are a lot more headaches and brain fevers. I don't know when I will die, how can I take these fields away. But if it is deposited in the bank, it can also bring some benefits to his son, and listen to this red turban army does not hurt the people or harm the people, so you can give it a try.

"Auntie, this is a good thing, I'll take you to see our chief." Li Nong said excitedly that when his chief assigned the task in the morning, whoever could complete such a task would be able to complete the task well, and the chief would reward him well. If you are able to complete the task, you are naturally willing.

"Auntie is old. Originally, there were two sons, and I thought that there would be one to die. and satisfied. It's a pity that the government doesn't allow it. The two sons don't know where they are, and their old bodies are not as good as before, if the big farmer can recognize me as a godmother, this will be deposited in the bank land, and you will be divided, but this will be the end. "The eldest lady is also a little embarrassed, after all, some people still don't agree to such a thing.

"Mother. The child has visited his mother. After Li Nong heard such words, he immediately fell to the ground, he couldn't fulfill his filial piety before, it was helpless, it was the Tiansha government that didn't let him do this, and now, his wish can be repaid. He already had this idea just now, he is a sincere person, and if he does, I am afraid that others will say that he is a sinister villain. But now, the eldest lady herself made such a request, and as he wished, she immediately knelt on the ground.

"Good. Okay, hurry up, hurry up, godmother, let's deposit the land in the bank. The eldest lady cried. She is so happy that she finally has someone to care for the elderly.

Shang Wu dealt with a lot of things, but Zuo Feng got some gold and silver treasures, which was a good thing, but he needed to buy more supplies.

"Lao Jia, after so many days, are you still used to staying here?" Shang Wu found Lao Jia and asked Shang Wu to find the sulfur mine, this is impossible, first of all, he doesn't have such energy, and he doesn't have the talent in this area, so this thing can't be done. Moreover, in the base area, the people still do not support him, so he decided that something must be done.

"It's okay, it's just that the general doesn't know what to do with me?" Lao Jia asked Shangwu, because Shangwu was very busy, he could only look around, the idea of the Agricultural Bank made him very surprised, he felt that if he could, he could join a share, think about the profit of this land is very big.

"Oh, that's right, we got a batch of gold and silver treasures, and we want to buy some materials, we lack such a way, so it's up to you to do such things, I think it will be more convenient to go to a place like Luoyang to purchase." Shang Wu said.

"Well, this matter can be handed over to Xiao Ke, Luoyang is very familiar with it." Lao Jia contracted it.

"Well, no matter what the price is, just collect it, and let them deliver the goods here. What we need is sulfur, saltpeter, and if there is mercury, it is also possible, after all. We need to produce something. That's right. There are other commodities that we also need, for example, grain, cotton. Cotton may be in the south, or in the Western Regions, and you need to bother to find it. Shang Wu said.

"Hmm. Is that all? Lao Jia didn't understand what Shangwu was looking for these things for.

"Yes, that's all, I'll give you some money first, if it's not enough, you can come back and get it again, and there's no problem if the price is high. Anyway, we're going to build a futures trading market. Shang Wu said. Lao Jia was puzzled. Because he heard a new word.

"Mr. Jia, be careful, these businesses, after all, sometimes don't see the light, safety first." Shang Wu entrusted.

"The general is not afraid, did Lao Jia take the money and run away?" Lao Jia asked.

"Don't be afraid, if you're afraid, I won't entrust you Lao Jia. Lao Jia, you are a master who makes a lot of money, and you don't look at this little wealth. Shang Wu said with a smile. Indeed, Lao Jia wanted to make a lot of money wholeheartedly, otherwise he would not have sacrificed his life to ask for his own cloth in the first place. Why, because that's his Ben. Without Ben, he couldn't do anything. That's a sure thing.

"The general is righteous, and Jia will never let it down." Lao Jia said with his hand.

"Go and get back." Shang Wu arched his hand and said.
