In fact, Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty has always maintained difficulties, to a large extent, it is customary.

It's really habitual.

It is not impossible to cultivate north of Kaiyuan.

Even if nothing else works, there is no problem with soybean sorghum.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the soybeans transported from the Liao River were as high as 4 million stone per year, and the grain transported from the south to the north by the canal was only 4 million stone per year, which means that only the soybeans transported through the Liao River caught up with the Cao transport. This is still the end of the Qing Dynasty, and after the death of our Qing Dynasty, there will be more after the Northeast is completely open to the Han people, and there is no problem that the soybean varieties at the end of the Qing Dynasty are different from those of the Ming Dynasty

The Northeast is the origin of soybeans.

Wild soybeans are found in the northeast, even north of Heilongjiang.

There is no difference in variety.

This thing is meant to be wild at this latitude.

It's not an alien species.

The real root cause is that the people of the Ming Dynasty, at least before the natural disasters fell at the end of the Ming Dynasty, did not bother to grow these things that needed to be widely planted and harvested, and they were not delicious at all without processing, and the processing required extra effort.

Is it bad to eat rice?

Is Xiaomi bad?

Is flour bad?

Boiled beans to eat?

The people of the Ming Dynasty are not poor ghosts in Western Europe.

Soy sauce?

Before the modern leaching process, the oil yield of soybeans was very low, far less than rapeseed, and the fishy smell was heavy.

For example, the Cao family, one of the eight imperial merchants of the Qing Dynasty, started by making tofu outside the customs.

It is estimated that bean sprouts are also sold.

After all, for nomads, bean sprouts are also vegetables!

For the people of the Ming Dynasty who eat rice, millet, and flour, soybeans really have no status, they are only planted in the poorest places, and the main use of soybeans is actually to use as fertilizer for rice fields. That is, the compound fertilizer of the Ming Dynasty with a very heavy taste, using soybean cake as raw material, coupled with all kinds of mess, and finally fermented into dung pill, the effect of this fertilizer is excellent, that is, the taste is extremely heavy.

Bean cake is an important ingredient.

Even soybeans are at this level, let alone sorghum.

That's for horses.

The people of the Ming Dynasty are basically not famine, and no one eats this thing at all.

Li Shizhen said it all, but he didn't know much.

Uncommon.

To our Qing Dynasty belongs to the normalization of famine, it can be said that people are almost born, most of the days are in a state of famine, so the food requirements are very low, at that time soybean sorghum became an important food, after all, there is no need to eat rice, no matter what shortcomings there are, it can be eaten after all.

Just like the sweet potato boom, it's not that the sweet potato is delicious, but that there is really nothing else to eat.

This has to change.

Can't get used to them so much.

You have to let the people of Daming eat soybeans.

Sorghum is not tasty, but it can be used to make wine.

Sorghum wine should have appeared in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, at least there was no record in the early period, and it was also Li Shizhen who said that sticky sorghum could make wine.

That's where the trick comes in.

Large-scale soybean planting in the north of Kaiyuan, then oil extraction, making various soy products, and then promoting dung dan in the south of the Yangtze River, so that the demand for soybean cake skyrockets, and it is profitable to grow soybeans here, and soybean oil can be taken to Zhu Zhi for canned processing, fried canned sea fish obviously taste better, as for sorghum in addition to being used as feed, in this area to engage in horse farms, the rest is winemaking.

It was then shipped to the north and sold.

There is certainly no market in the south, but sorghum wine is still popular in the north.

Of course, this work is definitely not Yang Feng's responsibility.

He is not a Ming citizen.

Now it can only be said that it is a plan, and how to operate it is another one, but it is not difficult, after all, there is such a thing as Shangtun in the Ming Dynasty, which is nothing more than finding a group of poor people, and then letting them use the name of Shangtun to open up wasteland and farm in the plains, Zhu Yuanzhang is encouraging this kind of immigration to the frontier.

And there are no taxes.

Shangtun provided food to the border army, and then exchanged it for salt.

In the early Ming Dynasty, when the Chinese system was opened, Shangtun spread all over the country.

Not only Jiubian, but even the mountainous areas of Guizhou have a large number of salt merchants to open up the wasteland.

Just in Yang Feng's complacency, the battle in the castle in front of him came to an end.

"Ambassador, Xiyangha has run away, and nearly a thousand people have also run."

Polo walked up covered in blood.

"Chase, his head is the most valuable."

Yang Feng said.

"Ambassador, the brothers have suffered a lot of losses, and if they continue to chase and kill, they will force him to be desperate, I'm afraid there will be more casualties, and there is still the army of the King of Liao on the left and right, and we have already made a great contribution to his lair."

A Jurchen Qianhu said.

The other thousands of households nodded one after another, and they could see that it was really painful.

They suffered more than two thousand casualties here, and when they were blocked for a while, there were six or seven hundred casualties, plus the bloody battle in the city, it was indeed a little unbearable, in the final analysis, they had no loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, they were attracted by the interests of burning and looting. But now that this place has been laid, it can be said that what you want has been obtained, although Xiyang Ha has run, and it is true that there is no biggest piece of fat, but fortunately, you have already got a lot, and there is no need to continue to work hard.

Don't chase after the poor!

They understand that, too.

Yang Feng waved to a few of them speechlessly.

Then a few of them stepped aside

"Are you going to die?"

Yang Feng said.

"Uh, this?"

"Let's just say you're going to be at the front, right?"

"Ambassador, the little ones are naturally in command from behind."

"To whom is that reward? For you, or for the soldiers? You have indeed laid a lot of things in this city, but thousands of people divide them, and in the end, even if you are thousands of households, how much can you share? But what if there were fewer people?

Of course, I'm not asking you to do anything, I'm just telling you a fact.

Don't think too much about it.

So are you still afraid of the dead? ”

Yang Feng was like a little devil tempting these thousands of households.

The latter looked at each other

It seems to make a lot of sense!

"I treat you as brothers, so I have a heart-to-heart with you."

Yang Feng said earnestly.

"However, those dog minions are not willing to fight."

A thousand households said with a struggle.

"Who? Who would dare to disobey military orders? You are their generals, you have given orders, if they dare not listen to them, it is disobedience, and disobedience will be dealt with by military law, we are brothers, if you can't suppress them, then come and tell me, I'll see if their bones are hard or my bullets are hard, I will support you.

Let it go!

Whoever dares not to listen to you is against me.

I will give you serious military discipline.

As for the ones you have seized in the city, don't worry, I will show you, whoever dares to touch a livestock and a woman inside, I will destroy him, and I will give it to you completely when you come back.

If I break my promise, the sky will thunder! ”

Yang Feng held the rifle and said very simply.

"Ambassadors, Little Ones"

"Call brother!"

"The brothers are not for reward, but they think that the Ming Emperor has the grace to take in and protect the brothers, and think of finding an opportunity to contribute to the Ming Emperor, we are all from the mountains, straight, and we don't understand those rhetoric, just one sentence, this life is given by the Ming Dynasty, so why not give up your life for the Ming Dynasty?"

The thousand households said very heroically.

"Yes, we must be grateful to be a man, for the grace of the Ming Emperor, we will let it go today!"

"Thanksgiving!"

Thousands of households roared in chaos.

Then they turned around very resolutely, taking heroic steps to show their gratitude to the Ming Emperor.

That's it!

It's not that they're dead.

Those who died were all subordinates, but the high-ranking officials they exchanged for were theirs.

Got it!

Don't think that just because they are simple mountain people don't understand.

As the old saying goes, there are clouds, poor mountains and bad waters, and people come out of the people!

"I think you're like a demon, tricking good people into becoming bad."

Zhang Fu said with emotion.

"Good guys? Do they deserve it? You have to understand that any bewitchment can succeed, but only if they have a demon hidden in their hearts, and bewitchment will not create a demon out of thin air, they already have it in their hearts, and bewitchment just opens the door for them. And the door wasn't iron, it was just a straw curtain, and they would open it themselves when they needed to, or I was just shouting outside, to be exact. ”

Yang Feng said.

These Jurchen dignitaries are just pretentious, they have been preparing to do this for a long time.

It's just that I'm afraid of a mutiny.

They also know that this is very excessive, they just want to rob livestock and women for the sake of high-ranking officials, and now that they have it, of course, it is impossible to work hard for their high-ranking officials, so they need Ambassador Yang to support them.

Now it's OK.

As long as Ambassador Yang has the backing, they can force their men to work hard.

"Spread out and chase, don't chase after you!"

Yang Feng shouted at them from behind.

It really needs to be dispersed, after all, thousands of people get together, it is difficult for Zhu Zhi to block it, and it is much easier for a group of hundreds of people.

Those dignitaries turned back and agreed, and then they rushed to their respective subordinates, ordering them to continue to hunt down the fleeing vultures for the sake of the Ming Emperor, and those Jurchens definitely didn't do it, the dignitaries waved whips and reprimanded, but the latter was not good at stubble, one by one angrily, and simply drew swords to each other, and there was a posture of fire and fire if there was a disagreement

It seems that the casualties are really large.

Yang Feng picked up the gun without hesitation, and shot a Jurchen who had already drawn a knife in the head from at least half a mile away.

The rest is all honest.

Then the dignitaries scolded them with fake tigers.

In the end, under the leadership of their respective commanders, they pursued the fleeing Xiyangha separately, and what they didn't know was that on the periphery of this mountain forest, more than 10,000 Ming troops were already completing the blockade. Yang Feng didn't care about Zhu Zhi's side, he walked into Xiyangha's village proudly, and then sat down in front of the gate where the corpses were piled up very responsibly. Ambassador Yang is a trustworthy person, and when he says to show them, he must show them, and the women who have been tied up and the livestock that are tied up must be kept for those Jurchen warriors in their entirety.

Looking at his figure sitting in front of the city gate, and then looking at Zhang Fu with the Ming army who stayed outside the city, those Jurchen warriors who were secretly monitoring from a distance, he couldn't help but sigh

Ambassador Yang is a good person!

Then they confidently pursued Xiyangha.
