Chapter 17: Who is Lin Chong?
I swooped up and hurriedly scooped up the sweet potatoes in the pot, but fortunately, the water was not hot!
Oh my God! I almost boiled these baby bumps and ate them. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Old man Wang and Ma Sanye heard Chen Jincai's shouting in the big house, rushed over to take a look, and what they saw was Chen Jincai holding a few water-stained things and wiping his clothes with water.
Take your own clothes and wipe the water on that thing, it would take a treasure to do it.
Chen Jin saw Old Man Wang and Ma Sanye rushing in, raised his head and said solemnly: "I need a cellar, a warm cellar." ā
The cellar was just that, and in the present situation of more than forty labor campers, a delicate, well-functioning cellar appeared.
Chen Jincai carefully put the sweet potatoes and potatoes and old corn on the ox cart into the cellar, and the whole action was cautious, for fear that he would accidentally bump and hurt these treasures.
You know, it's dripping ice outside! If these bags of crops unique to South America in the Great Song Dynasty in this time and space in this world are frozen, he will have no place to cry.
Old man Wang and Ma Sanye looked at each other in a cold sweat and didn't let anyone touch them, they just took one sack after another and carefully carried the three sacks of things into the cellar, and even picked up the roll of silk quilt in the ox cart and covered it, this kind of action made the two old men twitch when they looked at it.
Old man Wang couldn't stand it anymore, the quilt of unknown material was luxurious and light, and he knew that it was worth a lot of money at a glance, and the young man in front of him actually wanted to use it to cover three sacks...... Stuff.
Chen Jincai, who was held by the old man Wang, realized that he was stunned, this cellar has been dug up, just take some hay and spread it on the ground, how can you use silk to cover it.
After returning to the ground and everyone sat down, Ma Sanye asked curiously: "Why is Childe so concerned about those bags of things, I don't know what they are?" But I see that there is dirt on that thing, I'm afraid it doesn't grow in the soil? ā
Chen Jincai smiled helplessly: "Ma Sanye, how many times have you said it, don't call it Childe, the kid has said it a few times, the kid is called Chen Jincai, you are always happy, just call me Jincai, you are unhappy, just call me Chen Jincai, but don't call me Childe, this makes the kid feel raw, how can we say that it is also a common adversity!" ā
"Those three sacks are indeed things that grow in the ground, well, it's grain, very good grain."
"Huh" Old man Wang and Ma Sanye let out a sigh of relief: "I said Jincai, just a few bags of grain, even if it is delicious, you don't have to wait like a little daughter-in-law!" ā
Chen Jincai smiled: "That's right, the kid has already treated those bags of grain as a treasure like his daughter-in-law, and after a while, the kid will let people build a house in the cellar, and the kid will live there in the future!" ā
Ma Sanye opened his mouth wide and asked in a daze, "This is not enough!" ā
"As for!" There is an article in Chen Jincai's tablet, which he likes very much, although the author's writing seems to be a little worse, but he can explain things.
The title of that article was "Holy War."
Why is the title so hateful? The article analyzes the deepest reasons for each change of dynasty.
After research, it was found that whether it was in ancient times, before the Spring and Autumn Period, after the Qin and Han dynasties, until the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, all the turmoil and unrest.
In the end, it only became two words, hungry.
As the saying goes, only when you have enough can you talk about etiquette, and then you can go to the poor mountains and bad waters, and then you can have perseverance when you have constant production.
These three statements, in fact, all say one thing, that is, if you have a full stomach, the world will be comfortable.
If there is enough family in the barn to live in abundance, a few common people will still think of rebelling, and in order to continue to live in harmony and beauty, those who do not want to destroy such a life will subconsciously respect the laws and regulations of the state and the ethics of the society, because they are afraid that if there are people who do not respect the laws and ethics of the law, they will plunder their wealth.
In order to eat, people even dare to throw the neighbor's children into the pot and cook them when there is no food, this is all forced by the stomach, and if you don't get out of Diao, you will be starved to death, can you not be Diao!
When he arrived in New China, Grandpa Tai said that only with constant production can there be perseverance, and because of this sentence, the majority of farmers saw the hope that they could be full, so when Taizu stood up, the general trend had been decided, and Emperor Jiang had to retreat to Bay Island.
These are the power of hunger.
From ancient times to the present, as long as human beings have developed to a certain scale, the consequence of the inability of the productive forces to keep up is that as long as there is a little disaster in nature, it will bring about the overall decline or even extinction of a large race.
Just like the Yellow Turban Rebellion that destroyed the Eastern Han Dynasty, if everyone has something to eat, I am afraid that the great sages and good teachers will have the ability to speak at the same level as Hitler, it will be in vain.
But the bad thing is that there were too many people at that time, compared to all the land that could be cultivated, the output of the land, there were too many people.
What should I do if there are too many people, what should I do if there is not enough food to eat? What should I do if I just encounter another disaster year and the food is even more finished?
There are only two choices, one is to wait, when everyone eats up all the food they can find, and then they can't find food, everyone dies together, and it may be a country, a city, or a village, or even a tribe.
Second, the second is actually a subconscious choice made by human beings, for example, at a certain time, when a certain number of people occupy all the land to survive, when there is not enough food, they will kill others, and then eat other people's rations.
And so there was war.
The results of the war are remarkable, plundering resources, and reducing the population of the opposing side.
Therefore, in many records, the people who founded the country have always been lucky, because after the two old and new dynasties conquered each other, there were many, many more ownerless lands in this world.
Then the founders waited for these lands, and the happy days began.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is all food, in fact, basically every founding emperor who successfully changed the dynasty has a group of poor people who can't eat behind him, and basically the last emperor who was ousted from the throne has a large group of poor people who can't eat in front of him.
This shows the importance of food.
Compared with the output of only 100 to 200 catties per mu in the Great Song Dynasty, the yield of potatoes per mu is 10,000 catties (of course, that is the most recent variety, the protagonist takes those in the past, and modern Huizhou has a new variety of 10,000 catties per mu), which is a guarantee for the continuation of a dynasty in that era.
(Too much, this paragraph should be said in the later part of the history, skip it now)
Ma Sanye listened to Chen Jincai's answer, smacked his lips, and changed the topic, after all, food is nothing in his eyes, even if grain is generally not produced here in the Great Northwest, but it is produced in the Great Song Dynasty, so food is not a topic in his eyes.
"Listening to the Wang Lun who just entered and talked to the outside, do you know Lin Chong?" Ma Sanye asked tentatively.
Old man Wang was curious, who made Ma San, who dared to ask, a little careful: "Who is Lin Chong?" ā
