After Tan Feng completed the award, many officers in his army were beaming, because the role of this rank is to improve the sense of honor of soldiers. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info, especially this promotion rank, represents the promotion of officials and wealth, although the specific position has not changed much, but it represents the promotion of the rank, so that everyone is very satisfied.

But in any case, after this award, it can improve the cohesion of many people, and they are also very satisfied. But next, Tan Feng has to face far more than that. He is faced with a thousand things, and he still has to solve all kinds of problems.

"Commander, according to our investigation of the grain in the major granaries, we are already facing some food shortages. Our current grain is used by collecting the grain of the people in our northeast and implementing the publicly-owned rationing system. However, in the past, the people were engaged in agriculture, and the physical consumption in winter was not much, so the food was naturally not consumed. ”

"But we have to do a lot of training now, so we consume a lot of food in the winter, so naturally it is not enough. So I think we have to address the need for food. ”

Tan Feng saw the food demand counted by the staff officers below, and his face was suddenly not very good, this food is a big problem. Tan Feng had to convene a meeting again, and everyone brainstormed together to find a way to solve the food problem.

"What do you think you should do, how to solve this food problem. If we don't solve the food problem, we may be in short supply. If there is no food, our soldiers below will really rebel. In all dynasties, there was no shortage of food, resulting in the soldiers having no combat effectiveness and even mutiny. Our current grain has been difficult to support for too long, so how we solve the grain is the most important thing. ”

Tan Feng told everyone about the current situation, and the current food is only enough to support one month. Because the food consumed for training is obviously far behind the food consumed under ordinary circumstances.

Especially war horses, war horses are a big consumer of food. If you want to train and fight with high intensity of war horses, you must consume a lot of food, because it is difficult for war horses to grow fat with this forage alone, so you must use food. However, this food is obviously insufficient, and the food that was originally enough for the people to survive the winter is no longer able to meet the training needs of the soldiers, so the current food for the army is only enough to support one month, and this is the biggest problem.

One of the staff officers asked: "Commander, will we be able to get some meat out of Mongolia?" ”

Tan Feng first vetoed it, saying: "This is impossible, it is absolutely impossible to get meat from Mongolia." Because Mongolia doesn't have a lot of meat, even Mongolians can't eat meat every day. There are many cattle and sheep in Mongolia, but it does not mean that Mongolians can eat meat every day. In fact, human beings still have to rely on food, and even if we take out all the meat of Eastern Mongolia, it will not be enough for us to distribute. ”

This plan will definitely not work, and the cattle and sheep in Eastern Mongolia will not be able to meet the materials that everyone needs. Even if all the cattle and sheep in Eastern Mongolia are killed, it will not be enough for everyone to eat for half a month. Even the Mongols themselves have to eat mainly food, which cannot meet the needs of human beings. The reason why food can become the staple food of human beings is actually because food is the lowest cost, but it can provide the most things that are loved by the most. The high cost of meat is destined to be only used as a side dish, not as a staple food.

The cattle and sheep in Eastern Mongolia can't be moved, not to mention that the Mongolians will oppose it after moving, not to mention that after moving, they will also meet the needs of not a few days, so everything is in vain.

"No! We really can't grow food, especially since we are currently in winter, and this winter will not be able to meet our planting. It is impossible to grow food in winter, and even if we have to meet the invasion of a large number of Manchu troops next spring, we will not have the opportunity to grow food. Another staff officer asked.

Tan Feng asked directly: "Before entering the customs, how did the Manchu Qing add food?" Don't tell me that the grain of the Manchu Qing Dynasty fell from the sky. ”

Tan Feng directly wanted to understand and think about how the Manchu Qing Dynasty before entering the customs back then solved the problem of food demand. Tan Feng is actually repeating the road of the Manchu Qing Dynasty entering the customs back then, so how the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs back then and how to solve the food demand is also a method that can be used as a reference.

"Before the entry of the customs into the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there were multiple channels to solve the demand for food. One is smuggling from Kannai through Mongolia. Moreover, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had eight imperial merchants in Shanxi, and the eight imperial merchants had a great collusion with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, helping the Manchus to smuggle materials, and even helping the Manchus sell all kinds of looted stolen goods, thus forming a channel for grain smuggling. ”

Tan Feng shook his head and said, "This is not good, we don't have such a smuggling channel in the customs." I'm afraid that not many people are willing to help us smuggle now, and even if there are people who are willing to smuggle, it will be too late. We didn't have time to build such a smuggling channel, this method will not work! We must obtain in a short period of time enough food for all our troops to train and fight, at least to survive the Manchu offensive next year. ”

Soon, another staff officer said: "In those years, the Manchu Qing Dynasty solved the demand for food, in addition to smuggling through Mongolia. That is also looting, they are nothing more than entering the customs to loot, or to loot North Korea. When the Manchu Qing Dynasty started, it made a living by looting, and grain was mainly looted. The place they plundered was mainly in our Guannai or North Korea, especially in the early days, which was mainly North Korea, and obtained all kinds of food and materials from North Korea, and even part of the population. ”

"North Korea is near our northeast, and if we go south, we can rob North Korea."

Tan Feng saw North Korea, the neighbor on the Chinese border, and then a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. Although this peninsular country does not have a large population and territory, and even the land is a little barren, it cannot squeeze much oil and water. But at this time, it was enough to become a life-saving spring for Tan Feng and them in their most dangerous time. What's more, Tan Feng was also very unhappy about this capricious country in later life, which has been capricious and undisciplined to the Han people since ancient times, which made many Chinese very disgusted.

"Since this is the case, then we can only die the Daoist friend and not the poor Dao! Immediately assemble the team and prepare to go to North Korea with me for dinner. Tan Feng said.
