Chapter 43: Ye Wang's Legacy

He Xi was faintly worried in his heart, so he immediately gave an order. Salted fish caught in various parts of Lushun are given priority to be sent to Fushun, Shenyang and other factories and mines.

After all, these Koreans are not the same as the original people of Liaodong. The people of Liaodong really have food, and after the food stamps are issued, they will only go to the granary when they finish eating their own food, or other things. But the Koreans came here destitute.

Although the amount of rations given by He Xi is not small.

I felt enough to eat before. But Tie Xuan's practice tells He Xi that it may not be.

------

He Xi is even faster. Came to Yingkou.

Niuzhuang, no, Yingkou is almost the same every day.

At this moment, the cattle farm is under construction. After all, Goryeo immigrants are used all the time, and the hungry people of Shandong come from the sea, and Niuzhuang is the first stop for most Goryeo people.

Huang Zicheng, Yang Shiqi and others came to greet He Xi, not to mention.

After the group sat down. Yao Guangxiao handed a document to He Xi first.

He Xi looked at it, put it away, and said, "When will these two people arrive?" ”

This epistle is nothing else. It is a matter of appointing Wu Gao as the commander of Liaodong and Liu Jing as the prefect of Liaoyang. Of course, the Divine Decree is still on the way.

Yao Guangxiao said: "Wu Gao is half a month early, and a month late. He should be in Nanjing at the moment. And Liu Jing doesn't know. After the accident of Chengyi Bo, the Liu family was not in Nanjing, but returned to Qingtian's hometown. In addition, a few years ago, Uncle Chengyi's eldest son died, and the court favored Liu Jing to inherit the title. But Liu Jing resolutely refused. This time His Majesty is recruited, whether it can be done or not, there are still two counts, I have heard of Liu Jing's name, and I don't want Liu Bowen's son to be a hard bone. Therefore, it is inevitable that there will be a delay. ”

He Xi silently calculated, then put the letter aside, and said, "Then let's talk about it then." ”

Wu Gao came earlier, and perhaps he could meet the most difficult moment in Liaodong. But He Xi has enough self-confidence to overpower him. As for Liu Jing, when Liu Jing comes, the most difficult moment in Liaodong is estimated to have passed.

Don't worry about it at all.

He Xi asked directly: "How much grain has been transported in from outside during this period of time?" ”

Huang Zicheng said in a somewhat bitter tone: "Hardly." The drought in Shandong is very serious this year, and the imperial court transports grain by sea, firstly, to raise the price of grain, and secondly, to seize the transportation capacity. A lot of grain was requisitioned at sea. The food we want can only be delayed for a while. ”

After He Xi listened, he was tired. Although it is said that in the past few years from He Xi to Daming, it has not all been smooth. However, this year we encountered a major drought in Shandong, and it was not other major droughts. If there is a disaster in other places, it has little to do with Liaodong, which relies on the sea to transport grain. In Shandong, whether it is land or sea, the price of grain can be affected.

Not to mention that more and more hungry people from Shandong are coming to Liaodong.

He Xi thought about repatriation, but now he is relying on a face to support him. The repatriation of displaced people will make many people speculate about Liaodong's grain reserves.

I can only endure it.

He Xi said: "The problem is serious. How long can food last? ”

Yang Shiqi said: "It will be supported until June. Not even in June, I did the math. It seems that the people are taking more and more food from the granary. Probably the grain stored in previous years is about to be eaten up. If that's the case, June may not make it to the end. ”

He Xi said: "Winnard, how long will it take to ripen?" ”

This can be regarded as Ye Wang's legacy. When it came time to plant soybeans, he planted a large amount of zinnia. It is an early-maturing soybean variety. It seems that the difficulties of the present are just in anticipation.

Yang Shiqi said: "I just watched it, and I also asked the old farmer, it takes about ten days. ”

He Xi got up, sighed and said, "Ten days, I hope that within these ten days, it will be peaceful." ”

Although a batch of soybeans is mature, it is grown in the wasteland after all, and the yield is not too high. In total, there are probably hundreds of thousands of stones. But if you use it as a ration, you can survive for a while. When the grain ship purchased before arrives and returns to the ship, all kinds of goods from Liaodong will be taken away, and this pass will be passed.

Now, everything that needs to be done has been done.

Everything that could be done was done.

The rest can only be left to God. It's better to be still than to be still.

Now he does nothing and keeps it a secret. There is no news circulating in the Liaodong market, and it may be able to pass this hurdle. But if he did too much and someone with a heart snooped on the secret, the news spread. Causing a run on the wave.

That's really no way.

------

The newly opened wasteland was reclaimed along the Liao River. He Xi has been working normally in Yingkou during this period of time.

Inspect the textile factory, the printing factory, the silver trumpet. And so on large and small venues. Then plan the cow village, no, the city wall of Yingkou. The location of Yingkou Castle has been selected, and the layout of Koukou Castle has been operated. and sent people to establish Liaoyang New City. It is the seat of Liaoyang's prefecture.

And so on. It looks like it's business as usual.

It's just that Zhu Xiongying sent some soybeans in the yard of Niuzhuang Station. He Xi stood here every day for a long, long time.

The good thing is that time doesn't go fast because of anyone, and it doesn't go slow because of anyone.

Ten days soon.

Large areas of soybeans are not yet ripe, but there are already batches of ripe.

He Xi personally presided over the harvest, and the soybean harvest was more troublesome. Fortunately, He Xi designed a lot of shelling machinery in advance, and directly stuffed it in, and the soybeans could be beaten out, and soon large swaths of soybeans rolled out.

He Xi picked up a soybean. Although it is said that the grains are full. But compared to modern soybeans, it is much smaller. Then he took one and stuffed it into his mouth, ate it raw, and a beany smell came to his face. But He Xi felt like a milky smell.

He Xi said: "Order, immediately add food to all Koreans, and each person will add one soybean per day." There was also an oil mill to be opened, and all the freshly pressed oil was distributed directly to the guards as part of the stipend, with a proportional reduction of some food stamps. ”

Together, is a unit of measurement.

Shihe is one liter, about more than 100 grams. Although it is said that there are not too many additions. But hundreds of thousands of people. That's too much.

This batch of soybeans is estimated to be eaten quickly.

Up to two months of support.

There is also the matter of oil extraction, which is actually reducing food consumption.

In fact, it is very simple, when people eat more oil and water, they will not eat more rice. Different groups are treated differently. For Koreans, just add food. But for the old people in Liaodong, it's different.

Oils and fats can be rare in ancient times. No matter what kind of oil it is, it is very expensive.

He Xi improved the oil extraction technology, and the oil yield was even more. But it doesn't change the price of soybean oil, and it is absolute to say that luxury is a luxury. But ordinary people can't eat oil and water a few times a year. And a large amount of soybean oil is distributed. Naturally, it will change the diet of the guards, after all, the oil will be used more for stir-frying.

This also saves some food.

Bean cakes can also be used for horse and cow feed.

Forget about horses, they are strategic resources. And cattle are also the means of production. However, Liaodong naturally has a foundation for animal husbandry, and there are still a large number of sheep. Whether it was raised by the people of Liaodong before, or Naha surrendered and left behind in Liaodong.

These sheep are He Xi's last chips.

No, it has already been used. There are relatively few sheep in the government. After all, sheep are free-range. The cost of large-scale breeding in the government is too high. He Xi has been using many methods to quietly purchase sheep from all over the world. As a grain reserve.

He Xi and the people around him carefully calculated. These hundreds of thousands of stone soybeans, as well as other soybeans that have matured one after another, although it is not good for the people to return to the Qin and Han dynasties to eat bean rice. But considering the situation of all parties, this crisis seems to have passed quietly.

It's just that He Xi never thought of it. He had just breathed a sigh of relief when an astonishing message came from Fushun.

The Goryeo people in the Fushun coal mine reversed.

He Xi's face turned pale suddenly, although he didn't know why for a while. But He Xi thought that it must have something to do with the food supply. Without saying a word, he immediately set off to Shenyang with a batch of soybeans. He must solve this problem immediately.
