Chapter 41: The Current Situation!
"Not to be summoned yet." Su Ming replied in his mind.
After destroying Li Zicheng, except for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there was almost no chance to get rich overnight like this at the end of the Ming Dynasty, not even Zhang Zizhong.
This huge amount of money is also intended to be used by Su Ming to summon administrators, workers, engineers, scientists and the like to stay, and then restore social production, promote social scientific and technological progress, and start the industrial revolution.
When the industrial revolution is to start in the future, it will definitely not be enough to spend more war points, so how can you not save some money now?
Besides, Su Ming has no foundation at all now, and if he wants to feed the 100,000 Yue family army, he has to rely on the grain stored in Beijing.
It was precisely because Su Ming knew that there were enough food reserves for 100,000 Ming troops in Beijing to eat for half a year, that Su Ming dared to summon 100,000 Yue family troops in one go.
Of course, if it reaches the point where it is about to run out of food, it is naturally a way to go back to modern times to buy food.
The money is naturally enough, not to mention the harvest of the previous bandits, just this time to eliminate Li Zicheng, Su Ming seized tens of thousands of gold and silver, just in terms of money, it is not a problem to buy billions of catties of food.
But if you want to continue to buy so much food and not be checked by the water meter, I'm afraid you're not lying to yourself.
If you buy hundreds of thousands of catties of grain at one time, it will not attract much attention, after all, many company units and school canteens are more than 100,000 yuan a day, and the food reserves of those canteens are millions of catties, and hundreds of thousands of catties are too small for pediatrics.
Moreover, hundreds of thousands of catties of grain are just the grain output of a small village in a quarter, and even an ordinary person who does nothing can afford it if he pays the price of bankruptcy.
Therefore, hundreds of thousands of catties of grain are too ordinary, and if you buy it only once, there is basically no risk.
What's more, Su Ming also applied for a license for an international trading company, and when the time came, he loaded the grain on the ship, drove it directly to the high seas, and then received the grain into the system space, and finally drove the ship to Africa to go around, and the ghost knew where you got the grain.
Of course, although this will reduce the risk a lot and make it difficult for others to find out where the food is, it is a very risky thing to continue to buy a large amount of food for 100,000 people, and it is impossible for Su Ming to do such a thing.
Of course, it is not feasible to continue to buy large quantities of grain for the time being, but it is still necessary to buy some seeds of modern high-yield grains.
Because Li Zicheng's Dashun army invaded Beijing, the spring ploughing in the Beijing area in the 16th year of Chongzhen was basically abolished, although there is still some surplus grain in the people's homes, but in two or three months, when these surplus grains are exhausted, and there is no grain income for spring ploughing, it is very likely that a large-scale famine will break out.
But fortunately, it is the end of the third lunar month of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, and if Su Ming can seize the opportunity to resume production, he can barely catch some of the tail of spring ploughing.
In fact, Su Ming had already begun to prepare for this matter, and in the last modern time, he ordered tens of thousands of catties of potato seeds from some relatively remote agricultural towns in batches, and rented a medium-sized warehouse in other provinces to transfer the seeds to warehouses in other provinces for storage.
If you want to plant more than 5 million acres of fields in Beijing, tens of thousands of catties of potato seeds will definitely not be enough.
However, before Su Ming returned to the end of the Ming Dynasty, he had already asked Yu Kaixuan to buy potato seeds, and when he returned to modern times, potato seeds would definitely be enough.
In fact, it is not only potato seeds, but other high-yield crops Su Ming also let Yu Kaixuan buy a lot, but now the only thing that can solve the problem of food shortage as soon as possible is modern high-yield potato seeds.
According to Su Ming's thoughts, occupy the entire city of Beijing during the day today, summon the administrative staff this evening, and go back to modern times, go to other provinces to load potato seeds, and then return to the end of the Ming Dynasty, and then send the administrative staff to the counties around Beijing to take charge of the work, so that you can directly start spring ploughing.
After the spring ploughing, hundreds of millions of potatoes were harvested, and the food problem was completely solved.
When the time comes, even if hundreds of thousands of soldiers are summoned, Su Ming will still be able to raise them!
Even, Su Ming can rely on a large amount of grain to quell millions of rogues at the end of the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop!
The Ming Dynasty has not been able to solve the problem of the rogues for more than ten years, and today they have killed all of them, and tomorrow another wave of new rogues will emerge.
In Su Ming's view, it is impossible to solve the problem of rogue with pure military force.
After all, in such an era of natural and man-made disasters, any poor people, as long as they are about to be unable to get by, may turn into a rogue.
It is impossible for Su Ming to kill all the peasants in the Ming Dynasty, right?
However, as long as Su Ming has food in his hands and can ensure that every citizen under his rule can eat and drink enough, the so-called rogue army will automatically disappear.
Able to eat enough, who wants to rebel with their heads up?
Until agricultural production in the Beijing area was restored, spring ploughing was completed, and a wave of modern high-yielding crops were harvested, Su Ming would not be able to feed more troops, let alone use grain to subdue the rogues.
Fortunately, the development time of modern high-yield potatoes is only more than a month at most.
In other words, Su Ming only needs to survive more than a month, and the sky is high and the birds will fly!
And during this period, Su Ming could first destroy the scum such as Manchu Qing and Wu Sangui.
Well, it was perfect.
