Chapter 12: The Land of Plenty

Chen Fan finished his busy day and brought some leftover rice from today.

Yueyu Yue'e hadn't eaten rice for a long time.

This is what he suddenly remembered when he was drinking porridge.

The original owners had to eat rice for every meal, and Yuerou and they always ate wild vegetables, or kudzu.

Chen Fan saw that each colleague had only eaten three bowls of porridge, and he was the same.

But he only drank half of it, and poured the rest into a bowl and brought it home for Yuerou and Yue'e to eat.

He dragged his tired body back home, and saw Yuerou and Yue'e talking and laughing on the bed.

"Ahem, ahem!"

"The head of the house is back!"

The two rushed up, and one of them grabbed one of Chen Fan's arms.

Chen Fan picked up the bowl in his hand, and for a while, he didn't know who to give it to.

So, he found two bowls, divided the porridge equally, and handed them to both of them at the same time.

"Eat something more and go to sleep!"

"The head of the house! Did you bring this to us? “

"The head of the house! Are you enough to eat! You bring it back to us.

You bring so many things back that your colleagues won't say anything about you?

Today we heard from the female workers in the yamen that you can eat three bowls of gruel for each meal.

Drink too much and you'll roll your eyes.

The bowl of porridge you brought us is so silky, you must have drunk soup! “

"The head of the house! If you don't have enough to eat, my sister and I won't eat! ”

"I'm not afraid you'll starve!

I asked you to go and help the female workers in the yamen in the morning because I wanted you to get to know more people.

If you have a good relationship with them, you may be able to find a job for you in the future.

I let you eat my money, and I am afraid that you will not be willing to give up that little money.

You don't have a place to cook, so you just don't do it.

I couldn't leave, so I thought I'd bring you something to cushion your stomach. “

"The head of the house, the kitchen lady, see us helping them with their day's work.

He lent us the kitchen.

We do want to save you some food, but you only have rice to eat.

So we cooked some porridge and drank it. “

"Have you eaten enough?"

"I'm full!"

"Yue'e, have you eaten enough?"

'Eaten! “

"Tell the truth! Yuerou, have you eaten enough? “

"Head of the house, Yuerou is really full!"

"Honestly?"

"Tell the truth!"

"Labor and Management Shu Dao Mountain!"

"Master, we're really full!"

Yue'e went to bring the rice bag over and showed it to Chen Fan.

Chen Fan found that the rice bag did feel like it was missing.

He took the rice bag and found that it was estimated to weigh 15 pounds!

A woman probably eats 300g to 500g of rice a day!

But Yuerou Yue'e is so thin and weak, she has long been malnourished.

They must be given more nutritious food.

For example, eggs and fish are all protein-rich things.

There are also fruits to help them supplement vitamins or something.

Seven days at most! The rations bottomed out.

Chen Fan opened his mouth and prepared to tell them that they must finish eating within seven days.

But thinking that they are thrifty and make them unconscious, there must be a lot of things that they really have.

"Okay, you drink this porridge first.

Tomorrow we'll add some food or something, eggs, vegetables, and I'll bring you some then

You always eat rice, and sooner or later your body will collapse.

I think your sisters must have died because of this!

I'm so guilty of their deaths, and I hope you don't let that happen anymore. “

"We don't blame you, master, we know you're being nice to us now.

We can still feel this! ”

"Did you make any money?"

"150 wen. Put the sheets underneath. “

"Okay, let's wash and sleep! Wait for me in bed. “

When the two sisters were busy, Chen Fan began to write articles.

Because he reads books relatively quickly, he has already finished reading the county chronicles.

I know the situation in the county for so many years.

He planned to write some advice to the master and the county magistrate.

These are simple things for him, because he comes from the earth of the 21st century.

I have studied a lot of history and law, and I know how to deal with politics.

This county, including this country, has only one core problem - poverty!

The king saw that the population was withering and that the land had no people to cultivate.

Qu Yuan saw the lack of talents and vigorously cultivated talents.

But none of them realized that it was all forced by lack of money and food.

The king believed that by securing the land and the people, the country would rise again, and the people would like it.

But if the king recognizes the true part of the world.

Only then will he understand that he is actually in a safe corner.

Qu Yuan strives to cultivate talents, and also hopes that someone can turn the tide.

Qu Yuan has not yet come up with a fundamental solution.

That's why he will go to see the strategies of the students of the school palace under the society day and night.

In fact, the country has a small population and a lack of labor.

If you want to use a limited labor force to maintain this vast country.

There is only one way to improve production efficiency.

Invest as few resources as possible in exchange for maximum returns.

And if you want to do that, you have to use technology!

Science and technology are the primary productive forces.

In ancient times, when grain was harvested with a sickle, dozens of people did not stop for a day, and they could only harvest less than 100 acres of land.

And if you have a harvester, a few people can harvest 100 acres or more of land in a day.

That's what productivity and technology are all about.

Chen Fan felt that it was not a long-term solution for the county to ask for supplies from the county every year.

You have to be self-sufficient before you can think about anything else.

And to do so, we need to develop the economy.

The expenses of the county government yamen are reimbursed by the county.

The yamen had to have some of its own property, which he saw and learned from the county chronicles, and this was not a crime.

There are some liquor stores and markets in the county, but most of the goods come in from nearby counties.

The county will also make the difference.

He found that meat consumption is very heavy, and dignitaries and scoundrels love to eat meat.

The vicinity of Zeng County is full of mountains, and there are many wild animals.

Most of the hunters are inexperienced women.

Experienced and archery hunters were recruited into the army.

Chen Fan decided to hand over how to hunt first, which he had learned in the army and had a lot of experience.

At the same time, find a way to buy the prey of the hunters and supply it to the liquor store and the market.

In this way, the government also makes money, and the people also have money, and they do not have to rely on other counties for help.

The government does not have to be paid a median price.

Chen Fan is also going to teach the restaurant chef how to cook.

He learned this when he took turns in the army to cook for his comrades.

It may be very flowery when the time comes, but you can exchange it for prey!

"It seems that the king has guarded a fertile land for the people of Dawn!"

Yuerou Yue'e couldn't wait any longer, and began to urge Chen Fan to come to sleep.

"The head of the house! Rest early! ”

Chen Fan didn't want them to wait too long, so he washed up, went to bed and hugged Yuerou to sleep.

Yue Rou rubbed him hard, but he was unmoved.

The body is not good, and if they indulge, they will not be able to save their lives.

So he hugged Yuerou tightly and restrained her, and she couldn't break free, so she fell asleep.

In the second half of the night, after Yuerou fell asleep, he rolled over and hugged Yue.
