Chapter 1183: The issue of food can be discussed

This year, on the tables of the residents of the Iron Castle, there are naturally no small changes.

First of all, beef and mutton, which was not common in previous years, has begun to increase this year.

Large pieces of red braised lamb and beef stewed radish make people feel delicious when they look at it.

Eating hot pot in the winter is, of course, inseparable from thinly sliced shabu beef and mutton. If you go to the vegetable market early, you may even buy fresh beef shutters, beef brisket and the like to go back to hot pot, which is even more beautiful.

There are also springy and refreshing beef balls, which are also very popular with everyone.

Because, after more than three years of hard work, the scale of cattle and sheep breeding in the Steel Castle has been greatly improved, and it can finally start to supply beef and mutton to the market steadily.

In addition, there are more shrimp and crabs.

In the past, the shrimp and crabs on people's tables were mainly fished, more in summer and less in winter. Because in winter, the river is frozen, and it is easy to catch fish, but it is more difficult to catch shrimp and crabs.

But this year, professional farms have been built, and the water temperature is constant, so there are many shrimp and crabs to supply the market even in winter. This naturally makes everyone's table more abundant during the Spring Festival.

In short, life in the Iron Castle is clearly getting better every year.

At the same time, even the people in the surrounding Blackwater Settlement and New Oil City were also stained.

While the survivors of other settlements were still frightened and hungry under the threat of zombies, they had also followed the Iron Castle to live a stable, prosperous and well-off life. The difference is not small!

However, Chen Yuan, the leaders of these settlements, still can't relax.

I want to live a life of drinking tea and reading the newspaper all day long, leaving work on time when the time comes, going home to let go of myself, and living a life without shame and shame.

Because of the calculation of time, it is estimated that within this year, a higher-level corpse control than the corpse king will appear!

The scale of the zombie army that can be controlled will reach tens of millions!

That's absolutely terrifying!

But fortunately, according to the experience of the previous life, the number of corpses at this level should not be much, and in a place as big as Huaxia, it is estimated that there will only be seven or eight of them.

It is also mainly found in the most densely populated places in the past.

Beidu, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Yuzhou, Shangdu, Wushi, and there is also one in the spring market in the northeast in the previous life.

In fact, the population of the spring market in the past was not much, more than 4 million.

The reason why there is an imperial corpse here seems to be because the Spring Market is just halfway between Ha City in the north and Shen City in the south. The combined number of zombies in the three cities exceeds 20 million.

Fortunately, the materials in the spring market have been taken back before they should have been taken.

Otherwise, as soon as the emperor's corpse here appears, and then you want to get it, you will be looking for death!

At that time, even a half-corpse will be very dangerous to enter. Not to mention bringing things out, you also need to be careful and careful to spy on information.

At the same time, in the face of such a behemoth, Chen Yuan and they also need to make more preparations.

First of all, in terms of agriculture, from this year onwards, it is necessary to consciously extend to the north, where there is a large amount of idle land that can be cultivated.

Although due to the temperature, only wheat, corn, soybeans and potatoes can be grown, which they are not used to eating in the south, but they are all grain.

The southerners are not used to eating it, so the northerners eat it. And to be honest, more than eighty percent of the population composition of the Iron Castle today is also northerners. So don't be careful, no one eats the food you grow.

…… This kind of worry is estimated to only appear in the current steel castle. Whoever cares about wheat or rice in other settlements will have to eat it!

Besides, as soon as the zombie army in Qiha City was tossed last year, the food output of the Steel Castle was directly reduced by one-third! The loss is not small!

Even so, the Iron Castle produced enough food last year to feed their people for several years.

But no one will be too much food these years, and it is necessary to make up for last year's losses if they can grow more this year.

The ghost knows what the hell the world will look like when the Imperial Corpse Legion comes out in the future.

Besides, even if there is so much food that you can't eat it all, you can still take it out and sell it!

Although the grain of Shenwuguan and Yangcheng has been self-sufficient, due to the relationship between soil quality and precipitation in North China, the varieties are still relatively simple. It is mainly wheat and corn.

At present, most of their soybeans, sugar beets, and even sesame seeds are still supplied from the Steel Castle.

Besides, in addition to Shenwuguan and Yangcheng, there are so many settlements in the world that have not even solved the problem of food and clothing!

Don't talk about it far away, just talk about the city of Xinha.

Chen Yuanke heard that their per capita ration standard this year seems to have been lowered a little!

The news from the "inside" is that it is said that their grain stocks have been worse for a year!

There is no way, who told them to press the settlement near Harbin City in the first place!

There are so many zombies there, and I don't know how many times they have attacked Xinha City throughout the year.

Although there are a lot of spiritual resources, the food that is planted will suffer.

Although they planted a lot of food every year, after a whole year of zombie devastation, by the end of the year, less than 30% of the final harvest could be harvested. And there is a lot to pay for it!

It's strange that there is enough food!

For this reason, some time ago, the people of Xinha City specially sent a delegation to the Iron and Steel Fort to discuss the purchase of grain with Liu Jinlong and them.

However, at that time, because Chen Yuan had not come back, Liu Jinlong had not decided on this matter.

After Chen Yuan came back, he heard about this, and in line with the principle of humanitarianism, he said: "Although they have an enmity with us, this matter can still be discussed!" ”

"But...... After all, our Steel Castle was also bad last year! The landlord's family also did not have much surplus food. What's more, Shenwu Pass, Yangcheng, and so many settlements also have to come to us to buy food. They have to buy so much at once. So the price...... It is twice as expensive as the price in the market of the Steel Castle. ”

"Anyway, they don't have a lot of spirit meat in Xinha City, they can use spirit meat and helicopters to exchange it with us! If the price can't be negotiated, it's okay, let them find another place to buy it. We don't want to be more demanding! ”

But speaking of other families, where can there be so much grain to sell to them now, there are still some in Shenwuguan and Yangcheng, but the railway is in the hands of the Steel Castle!

In addition, the second important task to be promoted in the next step is to accelerate several key scientific research and technological breakthroughs in the Iron Castle.

With the miniaturization of nuclear energy, the supertank will be able to cruise on the road for a longer period of time.

It is certainly not a problem to run for two or three years with one fuel, which can greatly improve the combat capability of the super tank. 2k reading web
