We need to cut down forests, we need to level the land, we need to cultivate crops, we need to recruit displaced people, we need to train soldiers. The opinions put forward by everyone are the same as that of ploughing and warfare, but everyone knows very well that food is a qiē. With food, there is manpower, and then you can build weapons, cultivate farmland, train soldiers, and finally the northern expedition to Liaodong.

"Clearing the land is the most urgent task, so let's hurry up and plant the seeds and stock up on more food for the winter. Yang Zhiyuan was born in a military household, and he felt that the agricultural time had been delayed, and he was already anxious.

"Mao Junmen allocated 5,000 stone of grain, enough for us to eat for half a year, I hope we can harvest by then." He Baodao also echoed, he had no experience in farming, and he had already made up his mind to be the shopkeeper.

Zhao Slow-bear, who advocated hunting, reported that deer, bears, and jackals had appeared, and that if there was meat supplements, the grain could be eaten more slowly, and should be able to hold out until the harvest.

"It's been a cold year again, and I'm afraid there won't be any good harvest from farming. Huang Shi said lightly his plan: "Mainly for fishing and hunting, cutting down trees to boil salt, storing wild beasts and fish, or simply skewering fish and drying them as military rations." ”

"Adults can't. Yang Zhiyuan was anxious: "If everyone goes fishing, we won't have time to reclaim the land." Food is fundamental, and fishing and hunting cannot solve big problems. It's been a cold year, but who knows what will happen to God? We're still going to do our best. ”

Huang Shixin said: "I know the things of God, it is said on the Internet that from 158o to 165o, the sunspot activity of the sun disappeared for seventy years, this period is called the 'Xiaoice River period', manpower is insufficient, most of the farming is not harvested, and it is too late to cry at that time." ”

"My lord, think twice. Seeing that Huangshi didn't speak, Yang Zhiyuan pleaded again: "The destiny of heaven is in my Ming Dynasty, God will definitely bless our army and let us have a good harvest." If we have been blessed to come here through all odds, we will not let the soldiers go hungry. ”

Huang Shi was silent for a long time, pondering Yang Zhiyuan's words......

The Ming Dynasty allocated 100 million acres of cultivated land as a military cantonment, and the output was used as military funds. At the beginning of the Wanli Dynasty, with the advent of the "Xiaoice River Period", grain production in northern China was greatly reduced, and military households had to fight wars and engage in various kinds of labor such as weapon production.

For this reason, the Emperor of Wanli frantically looted mining taxes, commercial taxes, and porcelain mines, relying on these funds to ensure the combat effectiveness of the border army, but also forced a large number of handicraftsmen to ruin. Therefore, although the Son of Wanli won the great martial arts of the "Three Great Expeditions", he could not but leave a reputation of "Wanli Harsh Government" in history.

Modern knowledge makes Huang Shi feel that he is very powerful, but he does not believe that he is so powerful that he can change the laws of the sun. By the time of the Apocalypse, the military households in the nine sides had sown seeds with hope again and again, and worked hard, but year after year, these labors did not receive any return, and Xuanda Town did not have a single bucket of rice for thirty-six consecutive months.

The soldiers of Datong can also sell their sons, beat their wives and daughters to go out to pick up customers for food, and in the end they also begged along the street to get a lot of food, but the more than 1,000 soldiers in Huangshi didn't even have a place to ask for food.

What is more troublesome at the moment is that what Yang Zhiyuan said is sincere and straightforward, but Huang Shi has a stomach full of historical knowledge but can't say it clearly, which makes him scratch his head very much.

"Gather the whole army, Yang Zhiyuan, you go and pick out people with farming experience, and I will discuss farming with you tonight. ”

"Your Excellency. Yang Zhiyuan was glad that Huang Shi had adopted his advice, and immediately trotted all the way to gather the military households.

In the evening, Yellowstone carefully questioned the experienced military households, describing various crops of the Americas that he knew.

"Without potatoes, it seems that they have not yet been introduced to China. Huangshi muttered to himself, there is nothing to hesitate about, the land must not be planted.

Sweet potatoes seem to be available, and this nutritional value is considered smaller by Huangshi, but it doesn't matter, at least it can be used to make porridge and sweet potato flour. Carrots have been there since the Tang Dynasty, this thing is of great help to night blindness, although it is not called a medicine to cure the disease, but long-term consumption can effectively alleviate the symptoms, most of Huangshi's subordinates have mild or severe night blindness.

"There are two kinds of corn, high pole and low pole, high pole drought resistant, low pole lodging resistant. ”

"What do you mean by lodging?" Huangshi didn't know anything about agriculture.

"That's it...... It is the wind, and the wind does not destroy the crops. The black words of the villain's hometown make the adults confused, please atone for your sins. ”

"I just don't understand...... Not a joke...... I really don't understand...... Well, no more apologies. ”

Huangshi doesn't pay attention to face, but now he only leads more than 100 soldiers and 1,000 strong men, and is reclaiming a broken island.

"The island must be windy, so let's plant low-stem corn. ”

After Huang Shi finished determining the crop, he saw that Yang Zhiyuan's face became ugly again, but in front of a large number of strong men, Yang Zhiyuan was not good at opposing it in person, and he was only anxious to scratch his ears and cheeks on the side. Huang Shi smiled secretly in his heart, China's tradition of being a Venerable is sometimes beneficial, at least there is no need to talk nonsense in front of everyone and Yang Zhiyuan.

"My lord thought twice, my subordinates asked, planting corn for one acre can make one stone of grain. At the small-scale meeting, Yang Zhiyuan, who had not been able to find an opportunity to speak, immediately objected.

"Well, it takes fifteen acres of land to raise a soldier, ten acres for a strong man, and six acres for miscellaneous men, and they will marry their own children in the future. According to 1,500 households, our army needs about 20,000 acres of land. This number also frightened Huangshi, who asked for so much land.

"So you can't grow corn, the yield is too small. ”

Less is better than nothing, Huang Shi said categorically: "It's so decided, I don't think the weather will be better this year." ”

"The subordinates obey the order," Yang Zhiyuan agreed unwillingly and reluctantly: "Then we must reclaim more land." ”

Zhao Slow Xiong also gave Jianyì: "My lord, we can hunt, there are many deer on this island, and we can also fish." ”

Fish is a high-quality protein and doesn't crowd arable land. "How many deer and how many fish can you shoot in a year?"

"It's hard to say about the beast, but if there are three or four hundred skilled fishermen, the subordinates think that they can make a million catties a year. ”

One million catties of fish, sounds like a very considerable number, Huang Shi happily grabbed a branch and drew it on the ground, and he could raise a lot of mouths: "Even if a person eats three catties of fish a day and a thousand catties of fish a year, we can still make a net profit of more than 500,000 catties of fish." Mr. Zhao Qian, if there are 1,000 people who go fishing, will they be able to catch 3 million catties of fish?"

"Fish can't be eaten as food. Yang Zhiyuan really couldn't listen to it anymore.

"Why not? The grilled fish is delicious. ”

"My lord, the grilled fish is really delicious, but I can't eat it for two days, so I still have to grow food. ”

"If you can't eat it, you can do it differently, such as boiling fish. ”

"My lord, my subordinates dare to ask, what if I can't eat the boiled fish?"

"Then fry the fish. ”

"Your Excellency, fried fish requires oil, a lot of oil. ”

"Then eat the grilled fish. ”
