Chapter 1317: New Tricks (I)
Regarding the consumption of food in the Sixteen Guards, there are the generals of the Sixteen Guards here, and there are also the military department books, and it is very simple to know the comparison, and there is a rough comparison almost in a moment.
"Strange, why is it so much worse? It's almost half, when did these little cubs start dieting? When he learned the results of the comparison of specific data, Wei Chigong grabbed his head and muttered to himself in confusion.
"Hmph, you only watch people get pregnant, you don't see people being stabbed!"
"Poof......" Cheng Biting Jin, the old thing, came up with a meat joke, and Li Er, who listened to it, squirted out a sip of wine that he was about to swallow.
"Old Horseman ......" and "Shameless ......" Fang, Du and others scolded directly, with an expression of disdain for being with them.
"What's wrong, did I say it wrong? Food is saved, but what do those bastards say about a pound of meat per person a day, it's much more expensive than food. Cheng bit Jin and argued with his neck.
"In general, the price is about the same, a pound of meat can top several pounds of grain, and the physical fitness of the soldiers is much stronger than before." Li Ji's comments are still relatively pertinent and impartial. It's just that just now the question of how much food to store was still being discussed, and now in the blink of an eye, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers has begun to be discussed again, and this topic seems to have jumped a little too fast.
"In fact, it seems to be true, now that farms have been built in various places, livestock breeding has also formed a scale, and a large number of non-staple foods have been put on the market, food seems to be really not as important to the people as before." Wei Heizi nodded and pulled the topic back up.
In the past, Datang grain was the main food of the people, and the poor meat was outrageously expensive, and few people could afford to buy meat.
Later, at the suggestion of Li Chengqian, Datang set up countless farms, large and small, and hired some disabled soldiers to be responsible for the cultivation of grain and the breeding of livestock.
After a few years, the value of meat has decreased dramatically, and the quantity has begun to be able to guarantee supply.
In this way, the people have more choices in terms of eating, from the past single grain to the current combination of meat and grain.
Experienced friends know that the energy produced by a single grain is actually very limited, especially in the ancient era when there was no oil and water, if you want to ensure a person's physical strength, it is likely to take several catties of food every day.
But meat is different, high-protein, high-fat meat can produce much more energy than pure grain, half a catty of meat can even be several times the quality of rice or white flour.
It is precisely because of this that after the combination of meat, the consumption of grain is immediately greatly reduced, and the original one-year storage of grain can now basically be eaten for two years or more, which is the fundamental reason for the large amount of food leftover.
After figuring out this truth, an old fellow immediately said to himself, "What if there is so much food left?" Don't get food from Linyi in the future? โ
"No, we still have to buy grain, and we have to buy more, and the extra grain can be used to make wine, or to make alcohol for disinfection, and at the worst of all, it can be used to exchange animal skins and their specialties with those nomads."
"And we can move some people from the Western Regions, Tubo, Khitan, and Xue Yantuo, now is the time when we are short of labor, since there is a surplus of food, then move the population in."
Li Chengqian, who had not spoken much, spoke, in his opinion, the grain stock of Datang was far from enough, in this scary era of low grain production, even if there was more food, it was still not enough, and if you wanted to consume the extra food, there were countless ways to think about it.
"The internal migration population ......" The old man took a deep breath, and he had to admire Li Chengqian's brain for indeed turning fast.
"Father, we have conquered many countries in the past few years, and if those alien races still put them on the land that originally belonged to them, it will only add countless troubles."
"So Erchen thinks that we can pick out some people from among them to move into the Tang Dynasty, so that they can see hope, so that they can be divided from the inside, so that they can form two groups within their own nation."
"In this way, the external contradictions will be transformed into the internal, and the will to resist will be consumed within them, which is of great benefit to our management."
The topic chatted and chatted, and slowly turned into a discussion, and the generals ran to the side to eat and drink when they were idle and bored, while the civil servants gathered around the old man and began to study the policy towards the aliens.
As the initiator of the topic, Li Chengqian was quickly ostracized by the old men, because some of the things he said were too speculative, so he could only use his ideas, but the specific plan could not be done according to what he said.
Therefore, Li Chengqian, who was bored, could only turn to the great cause of eating, and asked for tiger teeth, bear paws, deer breasts, and roast suckling pig from Xiaobai...... All kinds of meat are moved to the table and pushed, and the swords are raised to eat heartily, which makes people can't bear to look at it directly.
Cheng Lao Xiang even shouted blindly on the side: "Good boy, it is really the son-in-law of my old Cheng family." The angry old man glared at Li Chengqian vigorously, and the result was ...... It's useless, Comrade Xiao Li is still a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water.
However, Comrade Xiao Li is not one of those old killers after all, even if he looks ugly when he eats, there are times when he finishes eating, and the table full of meat fills his stomach after a while, and he can't eat anything anymore.
"Have you finished eating? Come over when you're done eating, I have something to ask you. Seeing Li Chengqian put down the knife in his hand, His Majesty Li Er glared at him again and said angrily.
"Uh, I'm done." Handing the knife back to the heartbroken Xiaobai, Li Chengqian wiped his mouth indiscriminately and leaned over to the old man.
"Tell me about your farm, during this time I heard that your farm is going to hire people again, and you only need women, what do you want to do." After the old man called Li Chengqian to his side, he pouted and asked.
"It's nothing, it's just doing some work like pollinating flowers, which is troublesome and requires patience, and the gang of slaughterers on the farm can't do it at all, so they have to hire people." When it comes to why he wants to recruit people, Li Chengqian is also helpless.
"Pollination? What is that? The new term made the old man a little puzzled.
"It's just a little brush and dip it on the flowers of each plant." Li Chengqian explained simply: "Plants are similar to animals, they are also male and female, and those plants in the glass house in winter do not have small insects such as bees to help pollinate, so they can only be artificial." โnt
