Chapter 351: Lantian, Immortal Realm
It's not a joke to support people to death, after experiencing extreme hunger, people will go crazy and want to eat, and because they eat too fast, this person doesn't react to whether they are full or not, and even if they have the feeling of holding on, many people will not stop, they are really hungry, which causes the food to open in the stomach, and finally breaks the belly, and the person is strangled to death.
This is not a joke, but really, there are really people who are dying because of this, in order to put an end to such a thing, the three major lieutenants strictly regulate the amount of food, that is, a pound of bar-head cakes, plus broth, the broth will dissolve the cakes, and the instant satiety is very strong, they have tested it with the most edible crops, even if the crops like the king of big stomachs say that they can eat enough, they are hungry fast.
It's not important to be hungry quickly, just don't eat the dead, and the crop head is hungry because he has too much work.
The head of the crops, who used to be the most capable leader of the landlord's family, is now a model worker and a labor leader in Lantian County.
In the past, a hard criterion for the landlords of the Ming Dynasty to find the head of the crop was to see if you could eat the head of the crop, and the average good crop could eat a chopstick cake for the first meal.
What is called a chopstick cake, that is, the landlord's house bakes a flatbread, and then sets up a chopstick on the table, bakes a cake and wears it on the chopsticks, so it falls layer by layer, and falls so thick with chopsticks, it is called a chopstick cake.
The head of the crop can eat a chopstick cake, which is considered to be passed, why in this era, look at the amount of food of the crop? Because in this era, people generally believe that those who can eat can work if they are strong, and those who can work are good crops.
Later, Lantian was established, the crops put the head of the meal from the flatbread to the head of the bar, this thing is a little hungry, generally a strong laborer a bar head under the stomach, a morning to do heavy physical work without hunger, so far, corn has occupied the position of the staple food in Lantian, mainly corn production.
The yield of sweet potatoes is also large, but it can't be used as a staple food, in the words of the peasants, this thing is too Xuan, not hungry, at that time I was full, and after a while, I was hungry.
And the head of the bar is not, this thing is hard, not easy to digest, so carry hunger, so after a series of competitions, corn stood out and became the main food in Lantian.
Most of the sweet potatoes are made of sweet potato powder, and some are fed to poultry, of course, there are also sweet potato lovers, for example, this thing is very delicious when roasted.
Although potatoes have not become the staple food, but unexpectedly become the main dish, many people in Lantian people eat potatoes as vegetables, what fried shredded potatoes, boiled shredded potatoes, but also use potato balls, various ways to eat, the potatoes directly to the status of the main dish.
In addition to potatoes and sweet potatoes, only wheat has a competitive power left, but it is not easy to make, the wheat yield is not good, use it to steam steamed buns, and the baking flatbread does taste better than corn, but for the food security of Lantian, Li Chaosheng has set up a red line for corn planting every year, and only to ensure that the red line for corn planting is guaranteed, wheat can be planted.
Because as long as the yield of corn is guaranteed, Lantian people will not starve, this is the foundation, and this data is calculated by the teachers and students of Lantian Agricultural College through strict accounting.
If you grow wheat, although Lantian may not starve, but the risk resistance is too small, and it cannot export grain on a large scale, which is not in line with Lantian's strategic plan, in which he is a large supplier of grain, and needs to rely on grain trade to obtain huge benefits.
Therefore, Lantian is currently only full of food, but not to eat well, coarse grains, has always been the main ration of Lantian, this problem Li Chaosheng mentioned at the meeting, at present, it is not to let the people of Lantian live a drunken life, eat fine grains every day, now the main thing is to solve the problem of Lantian is full.
Lantian wants to become Guanzhong, which is the main grain producing area in the entire northwest region of Shanxi Province, and wants to become a big granary for the people of the whole country.
However, this has also encountered a problem, that is, the cultivated land area of Lantian is limited, and it is not enough to support and dominate the whole country, so Li Chaosheng has recently been studying whether the Hetao area can be developed.
After all, the Hetao area is a high-quality wheat cultivation area, and in the 21st century, Hetao flour is very famous, and it is sold more expensive than other places, which shows that the quality of flour here is very good.
However, now that there are many people in the country, Li Chaosheng has not yet freed his hands, and when Li Chaosheng has freed up his hands, he can take Guihua City as the center of the circle, attack the land of Hetao, and turn those wastelands that are still overgrown with weeds into the grain planting land of the Han family.
Farming, this is what the Chinese nation is engraved in the genes, whether you are a wolf or expand the territory, the final purpose is to find the land, farming, this is no way to change, this is the Chinese people carry something in their bones, the Chinese people are where to go, where to plant, this is the stubbornness of the Chinese people, the ambition of the Chinese people.
Now Lantian is developing rapidly, all industries are revival, and the Lantian people who lack entertainment, have nothing to do, and live a rich life, and believe in the traditional concept of having many children and many blessings, have begun to have children like crazy.
Li Chaosheng supported this, after all, according to the experience of later generations, population is the greatest wealth of this era, and only when there are people can all industries be revitalized, and without people, all industries will wither.
Li Chaosheng decided to take advantage of the stage when Lantian industrialization had not yet begun, and accumulate some population for Lantian well, because when industrialization began to speed up, the people would not want to have children, and there would be various reasons, part of which was exquisite egoism, and a large part of which was the pressure from society.
Li Chaosheng has no way to change this, after all, to develop, it is necessary to form a concentration of capital, and the concentration of capital will definitely give birth to squeezing, and capital is not concentrated, Li Chaosheng has also seen it in history textbooks, excessive egalitarianism is the biggest unevenness, because there are differences between individuals, more work and more gains, less work and less gains, can not do more and do less to get the same salary, then how can society progress?
If egalitarianism is not implemented, then capital must be concentrated, so that some individuals with courage and ability will become rich first, but when they become rich, because of the inferior nature of people, there will definitely be oppression, and Li Chaosheng can only guarantee that capital is not allowed to kidnap the imperial court, and the imperial court can control capital, ensuring that Lantian is at least the imperial court controlled by Li Chaosheng in the end, and put a rope around the neck of capital, so that no matter how much they swell, as long as he Li Chaosheng is willing, with an order, hundreds of millions of commercial empires will also collapse.
However, these are all challenges that Lantian will face in the future, and Li Chaosheng feels that there is no need to intervene too much, but now Li Chaosheng is very optimistic about Lantian having children, and has given a lot of policy support, such as after each child is born, there will be an acre of ration field.
And Lantian has not been desperately expanding in recent years, which has led to the gradual lack of rations in Lantian, so there is no way but to think of a way, the first way is to speed up the expansion of the country, but the court still has the power of a war, Lantian can not be unscrupulous, and there are anti-thieves raging, Li Chaosheng wants to give the anti-thieves enough space to play.
Since it has become difficult to open up the wasteland in the Ming Dynasty, then it is necessary to find a way to go to the grassland, Li Chaosheng decided, and when the imperial court eliminated Gao Yingxiang, Lantian will gradually swallow up the northern Shaanxi region, and send a large army to continue to expand the land to the north, at least the huge land of eeds, Li Chaosheng decided to expand him into his own territory.
The end of the Ming Dynasty was definitely a disaster for ordinary people, terrible disasters, natural disasters and man-made disasters, thousands of miles of red land, there were more dead than alive, but it was definitely a gluttonous feast for careerists.
In such troubled times, as long as you dare to fight, you can lay a foundation and achieve supreme glory, such as Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, who took this opportunity to grab money, food, and women.
Carry out a carnival that lasts for more than ten years, and there is an outlier in this carnival, that is, Lantian, Lantian's policy is just the opposite of these people, not to rob money, but to give money to the people, lend money to the people, and let the people resume business and farming.
Second, don't grab grain, Lantian has been distributing grain, after the Lantian boundary monument arrives at a place, Lantian will immediately send the chief to govern the place, after entering, the most important job is to send food for disaster relief.
The third is to rob women, Lantian never robs women, and will only accept homeless people who no one wants, because homeless people are a drag and a burden in other forces, and they will only reach out to ask for food, and the biggest role is to use homeless people to consume the gunpowder cannons of the officials and soldiers.
Needless to say, most of the large reservoirs in Lantian are built by the homeless, even the old and weak women and children are also useful, women can be used to give birth to children, and the children are strong when they grow up, and the elderly can also do some easier work in Lantian to contribute to Lantian.
Therefore, the only place in the world that can leave a way for the homeless people to survive is Lantian.
The homeless people also thought so, the homeless people originally ran for the attitude of a dead horse as a live horse doctor to hit the big luck, but they didn't expect Lantian to really send relief here.
A large piece of saved-up food is enough for them to eat for ten days, and a bowl of broth with oil splashes wafting on it, which is simply the best meal they have had in years.
The homeless people looked at the big cake from Lantian in disbelief, their faces were full of shock, this is real food, not food pretended to be from turf roots, but food that can fill their stomachs.
This is said to be fat, Lantian is so rich, and there are even one or two pieces of big fat meat in this soup, my God, we were not homeless before, and we could eat one or two pieces of fat during the New Year, and when we were homeless, we have never seen a piece of fat, of course, this is not absolute, on the way to escape the famine, I saw someone go to dig someone else's dead man who had just been buried, and cut off the dead man's thigh meat and ate it.
There are also hungry people, who exchange their starving children with other people's children, cut them and stew them in a pot to eat, this is not a joke, they have really seen it, and even some of them may have a piece of the pie.
When people are extremely hungry, they can't care about these at all, the taste of starvation is really too hard, it is difficult for modern people to experience that feeling, of course, brothers and sisters who are dieting and losing weight may have a little bit of experience.
But dieting and losing weight is only the initial stage of hunger, that is, this stage is not worth mentioning with people who are really hungry to the extreme, and the real hunger is despair.
The homeless people gnawed on the bread, some of them were desperate, eating it in large gulps, devouring it like starving ghosts, while others were only willing to eat a little bit, and a large piece of the bread was put into their arms, and they stubbornly thought that this bread might be their ration for the next few days, and they ate it all today, and tomorrow they might starve to death.
The food was used to save lives, and although the militia who distributed them promised that they would have the same bread for the next meal, or that they would have a nest to eat, they stubbornly did not believe it, but hid the bread in their arms, and at the same time covered their collar, as if it were not bread but gold bars.
The first batch of displaced people who ate food and rested for two quarters of an hour began to be gathered, and whoever ate the food according to the regulations had to go with them to build the local area.
Therefore, the three lieutenant chiefs began to order their lieutenant chiefs to take the first batch of people back, and the first batch, each lieutenant chief, was divided into about 2,000 people, and three hundred militiamen followed the lieutenant chief, and rushed to their respective villages and towns with these displaced people, and the first line of these displaced people was the construction site of the reservoir built by each village and town.
According to the law of Lantian, after the displaced people enter Lantian, they all need to serve on the construction site for a year, this year has several meanings, the first Lantian saved you, you repay Lantian for a year, so that the people of Lantian agree to you enter Lantian and be a Lantian person.
Second, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, due to the continuous disasters and plagues, the displaced people were often the first to receive the plague, so this year also had the meaning of isolation, and even when they allocated the construction site, the new displaced people had to be separated from the old refugees, and they were often given a separate site.
Third, give these displaced people a chance to integrate into Lantian, after all, these people have nothing on them now, and when they enter Lantian, no one will hire them to farm, for two reasons, first, Lantian has no big landlords, a lot of land, Lantian people themselves are not enough to plant, how can they hire people, second, Lantian people are xenophobic, you are not familiar with the land into Lantian, Lantian people will not be willing to hire you, because Lantian likes to use their own people, even if the price of their own people is a little more expensive.
It is precisely because of these three points that the displaced people entered Lantian and immediately began to enter the construction site to build water conservancy is a very good means, the first construction site is to manage food and housing, and there is still a salary every day, although it is not much, but it is enough to save enough for a year, and it is enough to gain a foothold in Lantian.
Second, you can also get to know Lantian County at the construction site as soon as possible, because the militia here likes to promote the benefits of Lantian to these people, so that they can understand what Lantian is like.
Finally, the most humane thing is that if you want to continue working on the construction site after a year, the salary will also rise, and it is a good place to settle down.
