"I went to sea with Mao Junmen, but unfortunately I never participated in the Battle of Zhenjiang. "Bao Jiusun has a distant cousin surnamed Wang in Liaodong, and when that cousin went to sea with Mao Wenlong, he also went with him. Although Bao Jiusun has no credit, as an old man, he has also become the president.

"Now that the country is in trouble, it is really an opportunity for my generation to make meritorious contributions, and joining the army is not ruined in a lifetime. Huang Shi comforted Bao Jiusun, and made a joke casually: "Don't live up to your name, Jiusun, hehe, hey, very ambitious." ”

Zhao Wanxiong and Jin Qiude hurriedly laughed funny, and Bao Jiusun also laughed: "The name of the humble position is not ambitious, and my cousin is still called Baisun." ”

"Baisun, Wang Baisun. Huang Shi casually pronounced this name, and there seemed to be a sense of intimacy in his heart: "Good name, what about others?"

"My cousin is a subordinate of Lord Zhang Yuanzhi, after the battle of Zhenjiang, he stayed in the city as a soldier, he must have died a heroic death. When Bao Jiusun spoke, his face was full of pride......

The conversation quickly turned back to agriculture.

"The whole Dongshan is a stone mountain, and it is impossible to reclaim terraced fields. According to the estimates of the people, the cultivated land on the island is about 60,000 to 100,000 mu. ”

The mountainous terrain of Changsheng Island is a limestone structure, and during the Republican period, this place produced first-class cement that was exported to all parts of Asia.

Although Huang Shi didn't know this geographical knowledge, he also knew that Stone Mountain was mostly useless, and his face became ugly when he was irritable. He quickly estimated the number in his mind, and even if he planted corn, it seemed that he could not feed tens of thousands of people, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

Bao Jiusun continued: "The harvest of fishing and hunting is not stable, if we only rely on the cultivated land and fish and beasts on this island, I think that this island can support 10,000 military households, each family can marry a wife, and at the same time can also support 5,000 old people and 20,000 children, I am afraid that no more." It can provide 10,000 peasant soldiers in the slack season, and can maintain 2,000 soldiers in peacetime. ”

Peasants can only be used for defense, or to attack nearby areas during off-season, and they have limited time for daily training. Huang Shi was already disappointed when he heard this, and began to walk back and forth with a frown.

"Your Excellency is wise, and you have ordered that the sergeant of this island must marry a bigfoot woman......

"There is no need to say more," Huang Shi impatiently interrupted Bao Jiusun's compliment: "Let me ask you, is the limit of 10,000 military households?"

"Humble back to the adult's words. Bao Jiusun bowed, as if he didn't see Huangshi's restless wandering, and reported loudly to the front: "Although the existing military men on this island are all single, and none of them are tied by their families, but in the future, when our island gathers displaced people, there will inevitably be old people and children, and the existing military men will also have families, so only 10,000 military households on cultivated land is indeed the upper limit." ”

Yellowstone immediately noted: "I'm not going to feed everyone. ”

"Adults know that they don't plan to feed the elderly, children and women, even if they are strong, they also have to eat when they are busy, and drink porridge on their leisure days, only two meals a day. ”

The old man and the child are of little use, and if a large number of babies are born, it is even more useless to eat, the more Huang Shi thinks about it, the more anxious he becomes, and he orders loudly: "Re-examine the land and see if there is any mountain land that can be cultivated." ”

Bao Jiusun was silent for a while, and after a while, he finally mustered up the courage not to accept the order, but retorted in a low voice: "Humble and courageous, Changsheng Island is close to the beach and mountainous area is more than seventy percent, and the humble position has already surveyed all the area, and it is absolutely impossible for the cultivated land to exceed 100,000 mu." ”

Huangshi's anger suddenly rose in his heart, and Bao Jiusun hurriedly added when he saw this: "I think that if our army wants to get more food, we must find another way. ”

"What's the solution?" Huang Shi reluctantly suppressed his dissatisfaction and asked coldly, his understanding of agriculture is arable land.

Although it is impossible to reclaim the rocky mountains for cultivated land, there is soil between almost every rock crevice, so most of the rock crevices have mountain dates, if our army organizes manpower to collect, it will add up to a lot, and it is also a considerable source of food, and this work does not need strong men or strong women, the old people and children are enough to do it. ”

Mountain dates are eaten as food, this thing Huangshi has not thought about yet, but it sounds like it can at least solve food consumption, and in addition, it can find some jobs for the elderly and children. Huang Shi pondered for a moment, and felt that it was better to believe in the agricultural experience of the people of this era: "Sounds good, continue, continue." ”

"Obedience. ”

Bao Jiusun is fundamentally opposed to deforestation in the mountains, believing that it is better to use the existing wild resources than to grow radishes in the mountains. He didn't seem to be idle in the past few days, and Huang Shi listened to him introduce another batch of wild vegetables.

There are also bitter ding, dandelion, violet, green onion, sheep **, bitter horsetail, endive, and so on. In Bao Jiusun's words, the yield of these wild vegetables is not low. The most important thing is that the manpower required to grow vegetables in the mountains is strong labor, and collecting wild vegetables can make more full use of human resources, after all, the strong man must have a subordinate population, so that even if the output is less, but the precious food will not be consumed in vain, but in general, it is earned.

Bao Jiusun also found white grass roots on the sand that could not be cultivated, which can be eaten with petals and fibrous roots, and the plump juice can be used to satisfy the children's hunger, but it will be affected by the season. It is said that this thing can also be used in medicine, which means that it can be sold for silver.

Next, Bao Jiusun is like a number of family treasures, Yuanzhi, crane grass, stork grass, plantain, cassia seed, Xiangjiapi, Yu Li Ren, Pueraria root, Banlan root, Codonopsis, Sha Shen, Platycodon ...... Huangshi listened to it with a big head, and many of them didn't remember it at all. It sounds like there are many kinds of medicinal materials in the mountains, which can solve the needs of military medicinal materials, and can also be sold for some money, which can be handed over to non-strong laborers.

Although Bao Jiusun said that the yield of wild vegetables is not low, Huangshi does not believe it. The reason why wild vegetables are wild vegetables is mainly because of the low yield, otherwise they would not have been popularized long ago, and he felt that there was a sense of masonry in these words: "So we can't burn the mountains and open up the fields, but should protect the forests, this is what you want to say?"

"Your Excellency is wise. ”

After all, wild vegetables do not compete with grain for land, and there is no need to arrange strong men to farm, Huang Shi understands that his own joy and anger can determine the fate of his subordinates, so it is inevitable that others will figure out their own psychology, and it is not incomprehensible to say good things hard.

In any case, this is a very serious person, and he has some guts to speak. Huang Shi forced a smile: "You did a good job. ”

"The adults have praised it falsely, and lowly positions are only foolishness. ”
