As for the lack of food in the north, why not eat minced meat?

If you don't have enough food to eat, you will eat meat, where does the meat come from, raise chickens, ducks and sheep by yourself!

Subsequently, Xi Tong checked the production situation in various parts of the Tongmeng Association.

The North American Tongmeng Association is scattered in more than a dozen locations, and each stronghold has opened up a minimum of 50,000 acres and a maximum of 100,000 acres of fertile land to grow corn, soybeans, and wheat.

If the weeds grow next to the crops, they will never be able to grab any water and fertilizer, and eventually grow slowly, and then be robbed of the light, and have to wither to death.

These crops are perverted in terms of environmental adaptation, reaching invasive levels, and combined with multi-purpose agricultural vehicles, the Indians were stunned by their grain production and jaw-dropping by the white colonists.

Now, the only thing that limits the development of the North American Tongmeng Association is time.

The development time is too short, there is too little fertile land to cultivate, there is not much grain to be sown, and even if the multi-purpose agricultural vehicles work 24 hours a day, the cultivated area is very limited, and they need more vehicles.

The North American Tongmeng will sell all the harvested grain to the system, and after exchanging it for game currency, buy more multi-functional farm vehicles and open up more farmland in order to harvest more grain and earn more game currency like a snowball.

Similarly, there is also the Nanyang Tongmeng Association.

The rice here is three or even four a year, with a yield of nearly 2,000 catties per mu - this yield frightened the local Chinese Miao descendants, you know, in the past, an acre of rice was at most 300 catties to 400 catties, and the best harvest was definitely not more than 500 catties.

After the comparison, the Nanyang people immediately understood that in the future, in terms of farming, they would not be comparable with the immortals, and the price of grain here would definitely fall to the point of being as cheap as sand.

What's more, the Xianjia has been opening up new farmland, and there are more and more Xianjia iron cattle that can farm, and the harvest will definitely multiply several times in the next season.

The Australian and South American clubs are also similar.

These two places are rich in minerals, especially coal and iron in Australia and copper mines in Chile, which are open-pit rich mines, so the Tongmeng Association of these two places will focus on purchasing multi-purpose mining vehicles and metal refineries when developing.

But even so, they sold nearly 100,000 tons of grain to the system.

Looking at the more than 3 million tons of grain in his stockpile, Xi Tong felt that the grain merchants in the Qing Empire who were hoarding and living in strange places were going to cry.

Xi informed that many famines in history were not caused by natural disasters, and even if there were natural disasters, they were only a very small part, or even very small.

Just like the saying of "the lake is wide and the world is full", the grain of one region can supply the whole world for food, and with the vast territory of the Qing Empire, how can it cause a tragedy of starvation and mourning all over the world.

Man-made disasters are the main cause.

Ninety percent of the money and food for disaster relief were lost before they were delivered to the disaster area, or even a penny left.

Even if the silver reaches the disaster area, the price of grain has skyrocketed tenfold or even a hundredfold, and the money that used to buy ten catties of grain cannot even buy a piece of steamed bread.

What is even more ruthless is that the grain merchants hoard, no matter how much money they give, do not sell until they force people into desperation, exchange houses and land for food, and easily plunder the houses and land money accumulated by others for generations.

Those big dog families such as "Li Bancun" and "Huang Bancheng" have saved their net worth through this means.

Ordinary people burn incense and worship the Buddha to pray for good weather and abundant grains, and those grain merchants are just the opposite, they are not profitable in good years, and disaster years are their good market.

The heavier the calamity, the greater their profits, so they do not hesitate to create calamities artificially.

In the year of the catastrophe, the peasants revolted, and the displaced people attacked the big families to loot the grain - there is no need for mercy, one of these landlords' families is counted as one, and none of them are really good, and this kind of fate is purely playing with fire and self-immolation, and the blame is self-inflicted.

Xi Tong didn't do anything about it, and asked Ye Yiruo to issue an oracle in the name of the Holy See, the content of which was roughly to advise grain merchants in the world to sell grain at a reasonable price in order to accumulate merit and avoid karmic retribution.

Some grain merchants already believe in the main god of the system, so they obey the words of the Holy See.

After all, the Pope has said that selling grain at a low price is a matter of accumulating merit, and hoarding is a matter of retribution. Although money is important, if it angers the gods, what is the use of making more money.

But it was only small grain merchants, and more big grain merchants still went their own way, and even sent people to secretly buy the grain of small grain merchants.

Compassion is not in charge of soldiers, righteousness is not in charge of wealth, and those who hoard and accumulate strange things have long fed their conscience to dogs.

These big grain merchants even ridiculed: Isn't the Holy See a god, then let them turn grain out.

At the same time, these big grain merchants have strengthened the guards of their granaries, arranged people to patrol day and night, and even asked the monks and Taoists to draw ghosts and ward off evil spirits and sticks them on the granaries, so as not to fall into the five ghost carrying techniques.

Xi Tong has been following the disaster situation in the northern provinces.

The Yellow River basin has always been seriously flooded, with the Yellow River flooding every three or five times, and farmers not harvesting grains, and it is also an area that grain merchants focus on.

This year, the Yellow River valley is not bad, God is not making a fuss, but this year's food shortage is faster, more violent, and more unexpected than in previous years of catastrophe.

The peasants still had a little harvest in their hands, and it was not a problem to get to the end of the year, and the residents in the towns who bought rice and noodles every day were the first to cut off their cooking.

As soon as the grain from the outside was brought in, it was eaten by the big grain merchants, and the big grain merchants did not produce grain, and the small grain merchants below had no goods to sell, so they could only close their doors one by one.

The grain store closed, and the price of other food immediately skyrocketed.

The people who do odd jobs, work hard, and do work are busy all day, but they find that the money they earn can't even afford to buy a small handful of vegetables, and looking at the children who are waiting to be fed at home and the mother-in-law who washes their faces with tears, a heavy haze appears in the eyes of the men.

They already had a bad premonition, and the older ones immediately remembered what they had experienced in the last disaster.

Caring for grain and vegetables became a daily necessity for urban residents, and the emperor issued a holy decree to prohibit hoarding, ordered grain merchants to open warehouses and sell grain, and ordered local officials to strictly investigate, and those who stocked grain were killed.

However, it was of little use, and the great grain merchants disdained the emperor's decree.

The Holy See also issued oracles, three in a row in a month, which were more useful than holy decrees, at least some grain merchants who were not bad consciences knew that they had gone wrong.

However, it is a drop in the bucket.

The food that flows into the market is like water splashed in the desert, and it disappears in a blink of an eye.

Wealthy people are okay, there are old hens that lay eggs at home, and there are fat pigs that keep for the New Year, and they can still hold on after killing, and those who are as poor as washing the four walls of the house can only gnaw the bark of grass roots, and after gnawing, they can only eat Guanyin soil.

This is the scene that the big grain merchants dream of.

At this point, death is inevitable, and there will be many, many deaths, and under the threat of death, those who are alive will figure out whether money, land, or food are important.

However, at this time, the Holy See issued another oracle - the Immortals began to sell a thing called food stamps, which could be purchased in various temples and the Amway.
