"Phew. It's unpalatable. Firefox kept spitting, she was hungry. So she decided to eat something.

There are more restaurants in the Republican Army. But the food they cook is just too rubbish.

Firefox ordered a dumpling soup. The meat filling of the dumplings is not chopped, and a whole piece of meat is wrapped, and the condiments are also very monotonous. There is no taste of dumplings at all.

"This guest officer, is this dissatisfied with the dumplings in the small shop?" A shopkeeper asked with some dissatisfaction.

"Satisfied? Hey, spare me. Look at your dumplings, how are they wrapped, are they dumplings when you wrap the skin? Firefox asked, holding a dumpling with chopsticks.

"Isn't this?" The shopkeeper asked rhetorically.

"The dumplings in our shop, but they came down from the battlefield, and they were all made like this, and they also used mutton soup, added pepper, and they tasted numb, and our people here said that they were delicious, and our small shop, not to mention the first in Handan, was also a number of delicious dumplings." The shopkeeper said proudly.

Dumplings were originally called flat food. Because it is indeed not as good-looking as the later generations do. At first, Shang Wu thought that dumplings seemed to be like this, that they needed to evolve, so he didn't pay much attention to it, and his interest in food was only based on filling his stomach. He didn't do much research on the smell and smell of food. The same is true for private markets, where people see being able to eat dumplings as a symbol of happiness. Because there are so many meanings of dumplings.

For the understanding of dumpling filling, in their opinion, the bigger the meat filling, the better, and even eating a whole piece of meat is the best.

"My God, how can your dumplings be made like this, and the dumpling filling, the ratio between various vegetables and meat, and the blending of all kinds of dumpling flour, don't you know what dumpling flour is? Thirteen incense. Firefox said loudly, and the people around him looked blankly. They had no idea that there was so much to do with making dumplings.

"We've never eaten any of this." The shopkeeper innocently said that he thought they had met a connoisseur.

"Oh my God, what are you doing? It's a waste of ingredients. Firefox said. Then the shopkeeper took the initiative to come out, and Firefox knew that he didn't keep his hands, and these guys didn't know what dumplings were.

So, Firefox made pork and green onion stuffing, many ingredients are not easy to find, but you can use other alternatives, such as thirteen spices. I still need to go to the pharmacy to buy it.

And many people are also very strange, why, to make dumplings still have to go to the pharmacy to buy. They just don't understand.

"Look, this is a dumpling, you eat flat food, not dumplings. Do you understand? Firefox said with dumplings in his hand.

"Well, fragrant, it tastes better, refreshing, the ratio of meat and vegetables, it's so good. And it's not greasy. Delicious, delicious. "The dumplings on the side were suddenly gone when the fire fox showed off.

"Hey, you're really not particular about eating." Firefox shook his head and said. Dumplings, not even vinegar and garlic.

Firefox has to admit that the Republican Army is developing very well here, but the food is too flattering. For example, the hot pot that came from Luoyang in the south did not spread here, and there were stir-fried dishes, and the upper echelons of Luoyang had adapted to this kind of dish. But here in the Republican Army, there are no high-end hotels, let alone civilians.

Most of their food is boiled and steamed, for example, the chicken they make is either steamed or boiled into chicken broth. I don't know, the Republican Army is in confinement.

The food aspect was so poor.

But in terms of ingredients, the Republican Army is better than Luoyang. For example, they have appeared cheese, cheese. But most of these things are eaten directly without processing. Most people try it. It's rare to actually store it like this. It seems that this aspect of food is biased towards food safety rather than good ingredients.

"Oh my God. The IRA also ate too badly. I don't know how they got to where they are now. Firefox looked at the food of the civilians under the control of the Republican Army, their food did not even have soy sauce, it looked light and tasteless. The whole food is not aesthetically pleasing. It's almost the same as pig food. It can't be described as beautiful at all.

"Well, I finally know what I'm going to do here? Let me save the stomach and tongue of the Republicans. Firefox couldn't help but shake his head and say.

The IRA did make great strides in military technology, they ushered in the age of firearms, but their food was only about filling their stomachs, providing them with the necessary calories, for the taste, for the aesthetics, and so on. Not at all.

Because most of the IRA is practical, the food is basically a continuation of the traditions of the past. The variation in food is not too much. After all, the population of the Republican Army has just come out of the subsistence line, they are able to eat enough, and they are moving towards the stage of eating well.

So, when Firefox came here, what I saw was that the Republican Army had barely made much direct progress in terms of food, there was no soy sauce, there weren't too many condiments, and the dishes basically revolved around meat. The demand for taste buds does not seem to have been mentioned to a very high degree. In this case, this gave Firefox a great opportunity, and he finally found such an opportunity, and he could do it to such an extent. This is definitely beneficial for them, and it will help them to develop and improve to the greatest extent. That's some of the things they're going to notice at the moment.

Lijiazhuang. War Department.

"The establishment of a series of meat processing plants, dairy, wool and leather processing plants in the north will be of great help in driving border trade and influencing the economic structure on the other side of the border. And it can provide us with more sources of tax revenue. Shang Wu said with a smile.

The newly established Yanmen Prefecture soon noticed its economic advantages, its proximity to the northern nomadic areas, and the import and export trade was very high, but the simple export still could not stimulate the development of the local economy, because more goods came from Hedong, and even the newly restored Bingzhou. How can we drive the economic development of Yanmen Prefecture?

Local officials conducted a detailed investigation, during which they found: Some businessmen from Hedong and Bingzhou have taken out loans to set up corresponding factories, which make full use of the advantages of local economic resources, and the demand for this is still very large, they can make milk, goat's milk, and even mare's milk into milk powder and sell it. The profits, as well as the demand, are very large.

Yanmen State was quick to encourage this. And Shangwu also approved the purchase order of the military in terms of meat products and dairy products. This has greatly stimulated the economic recovery and development of Yanmen Prefecture, which is an extremely very beneficial thing.

"We should see that the struggle between the northern nomads, the military struggle, seems to be reaching a point where we are exhausted, and we should give full play to our economic advantages, transform their economic structure, and become the same as us, in line with our economic structure." Jia Xu said.

"You're thinking long-term." Shang Wu said to Jia Xu.

"We had to do this. In the past, most of our attitude towards the grassland was to fight back and push back, but we have never regarded the grassland as our own inherent territory. The IRA was the first to look at it that way. Jia Xu said.

"Therefore, we have to digest them even more, so that their economic model enters the state that we should adjust, and only in this way can our advantages become more advantageous." Jia Xu continued.

The means of the republican army have become diversified, of which economic influence is the most important link, through the economy, that is, the use of resources, and resource mobilization to suppress the Huns, the Wuhuan people, so that their economic structure is fundamentally incorporated into the economic development track of the republican army, in the future development, they will not treat such a situation in an independent way, but use an economy that has lost its independence to be incorporated into the system of the republican army, The agreement between the interests of the Republican Army and the nomadic peoples of the North on the economic interests would be much more advantageous for the inclusion of animal husbandry in the economic system of the Republican Army.

This is an important factor in the commanding heights of their economy. Shangwu is doing just that.

Shang Wu and Jia Xu have discussed this issue countless times, for example, in the past, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, although he did not necessarily use pure military means to defeat the Xiongnu, but some measures that were too tough will inevitably bring some unfavorable factors, such as the damage to the domestic economy, unable to pass on the huge cost factors brought about by the war, you know, the continuous war will expand financial expenditures, which is extremely unfavorable to the economy. Jia Xu also saw such a point and thought of economic means.

And economic means can alleviate the huge sense of oppression brought about by war, and at the same time, give a certain outlet, economically, suppress the other side. In turn, they will regulate the economic structure of the other side and expand their strategic advantages.

The last little bit of tightening will bring the opponent's war advantage to a more advantageous position to strike at the opponent. That's their biggest advantage at the moment.

The expansion of the war made their situation much more favorable.

"The development of economy and trade is to release this pressure. But at the same time, we also need to take the opportunity to cultivate some forces of our own. After all, our ultimate goal is not to expel the other party from the grassland, but to occupy the grassland and incorporate it into our territory. become within the confines of our tradition. Shang Wu said.
