Xu Wei was really happy to hear Zhou Bangguo's words. The disabled tribesmen in Mayi are not only living very well now, they have also developed a breeding industry chain that feeds tens of thousands of people. If it continues to expand to the entire Bingzhou, wouldn't it be possible?
Hundreds of thousands of people can rely on this breeding industry chain for a living, and ensuring employment is very important to Tengjiajun.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Bangguo is a good talent. If he continues to train him, he may not be able to become the head of a county!
Xu Wei looked at the fat pigs in the farm. He didn’t know if it was due to eating high protein. Every pig was fat and strong! He looked at the pigs and said with a smile: "You are really good at raising pigs. This year's pigs in Mayi
During the Harvest Festival, I want to invite the 150,000 victims of the disaster to the grassland for dinner, and you can’t do it without pigs!”
Zhou Bangguo gave a thumbs up and said: "Qu Shuai is still handsome and heroic, and the treat is extraordinary! Naturally, my subordinates will not hold you back, Qu Shuai!"
Then he thought about it and said: "If 1,000 people eat one head, 150,000 people will need 1,500 head. The pig farm can still afford it. I will help Qu Shuai prepare it!"
Xu Wei heard that one pig for 1,000 people would be enough to eat, so he asked: "Can't we provide more? One pig for 1,000 people is a bit too little, right?"
Zhou Bangguo explained: "It's quite a lot. This pig weighs 300-400 kilograms (the weight unit of a big man). On average, each person has less than half a kilogram of meat. This should be enough if you add some other dishes!"
Then Zhou Bangguo said: "And even if you want to increase it, it won't be much more. We have more cattle and sheep in Mayi, but less pork. The pigs here already account for less than half of the entire Mayi. Even if there are some in other places, there won't be too many.
If there may be more in a few years, Qu Shuai should get more sheep? Or I can get some chickens and ducks?"
Sure enough, supplies are still in short supply. If I want to treat someone to a meal, I don’t even have enough pork!
Xu Wei nodded, and then said to Zhou Bangguo with great expectation: "You have to work hard to expand the scale of the breeding farm. Try to let the members of our Tengjia Army live a life of eating meat as soon as possible."
Zhou Bangguo said with a smile: "Next time Qu Shuai wants to invite people to eat pork, I will ensure that everyone can eat meat as much as they want!"
The news that Commander Qu was asking for labor soon spread among the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the entire settlement camp, and the locals also talked about the harvest festival in Mayi.
"After we came to Mayi, every year after the harvest, we would prepare a sumptuous banquet to reward ourselves. At this time, the big fish and meat accumulated in Mayi would be put out for everyone to have a feast!" said Mayi.
Everyone in the tribe was looking forward to it.
Life is really hard this year. After using food stamps to fix rations, everyone can't eat well and everyone is very uncomfortable. Especially in Mayi, we have already adapted to three meals a day, but now many people have changed.
For those who have eaten twice a day and are full, it becomes very unbearable to be hungry again.
But in the Tengjia Army, even Qu Shuai couldn't have enough to eat. With Xu Wei leading by example, they couldn't complain anymore. Now they can have a big meal, and these old tribesmen are very excited!
Needless to say, the settlement camps have never had a full meal in their entire lives. Many people have begun to dream about the harvest festival feast. In short, the whole Mayi is now very lively.
Zhao Tian and his family were also part of the excitement.
They are ordinary members of the settlement camp, but they are also lucky ones because their whole family is still together, which is very rare in the settlement camp.
This year, the Yellow River flooded, and his family's fields were submerged. The only grain stored in them was washed away by the floods. The whole family could not survive. His father had no choice but to sell his family's fields at a low price.
It was given to a landowner named Cao.
They used the land to pay off Cao Landlord's son's printing money, gave their family 2 shi of grain, and then took away their family's land.
Then he told them that they could survive as long as they crossed the Yellow River. Both Jizhou and Bingzhou were taking in the victims. He also told them that the people who fled the flood last year also survived by crossing the Yellow River. As long as they crossed the Yellow River, they would have a way to survive.
!
However, Zhao Tian's father didn't believe it at all. He resisted for a month in his hometown and wanted to see if there was any chance of becoming a tenant in his hometown.
But the reality made Zhao Tian's father extremely disappointed. He found that these powerful people in his hometown were willing to spend a lot of money to buy slaves from Xuzhou and Qingzhou, rather than hire locals like them!
When he almost finished all the food in his hands, he realized that he would starve to death if he stayed in his hometown, so he had to follow the flow of people across the Yellow River.
Then they followed the crowd all the way north, relying on this little ration of food and eating leaves and grass roots along the way. The whole family didn't know how long they walked.
Countless people fell down along the way, and each fallen person would soon turn into a pile of bones. This frightened Zhao Tian, and for a while he didn't even dare to lie down.
The whole family didn't know if it was useful to continue walking like this, or whether they would die in a foreign land, but they were too hungry now to think, so they had no choice but to follow everyone else.
I don’t know how long they walked. When the whole family couldn’t bear it anymore, someone gave them porridge in a daze. At that time, he drank three big bowls, and his belly was bulging. This was his half year.
I feel full for the first time in a long time.
He wanted to continue drinking but was stopped and told that he would be strangled to death if he drank any more!
Everything that happened next surprised him. The person who gave them porridge said that they had come to the territory of the Tengjia Army, and that as long as they got here, they wouldn't have to worry about starving to death!
What happened next was indeed like this. These people would give them porridge every day, then give them a bath, put on clean clothes, and burn their tattered clothes. They also helped them build a tent for them to live here.
At the same time, some captains of ten, centurions, thousands, and ten thousand were selected among them to organize them, and told them that they would have to live here for half a month to make sure that they were not sick before they could enter the Tengjia Army.
's territory.
Zhao Tian did indeed see sick people being taken away by the Tengjia Army, and then never showing up again. This made everyone terrified, fearing that they would be the next person taken away.
Gu Xuan
Zhao Tian was worried, but he was afraid that his parents and siblings were sick and could not enter the territory of the Tengjia Army, so that their whole family might be separated. This was not what Zhao Tian wanted. He wanted the whole family to be together.
Fortunately, they were very lucky. No diseases were found during the half month here, and they could continue to enter the territory of the Tengjia Army.
They lived in the tent for half a month. Although they could only eat porridge every day, the family finally recovered and did not look like they were going to collapse like before.
His brother and sister were also taken to a big house by a god-like gentleman to study and read. This made him envious, and he even listened secretly for a few days.
The old gentleman found him and did not drive him away. Instead, he let him in and told him to read and read. Unfortunately, the time was too short and Zhao Tian had to leave without knowing a few words.
But the old gentleman didn't take it seriously. Instead, he handed him a book and said: "This is a dictionary. The way to read words is the pinyin method that the teacher taught you. If you don't understand the word, just spell it. Remember to read.
You will be successful only after you can read and write. In the future, you have to find a way to learn the content here on your own. If you encounter something you don’t understand, just ask other people who seem to be knowledgeable. They will teach you. Once you have learned it, they will teach you.
Brothers and sisters, there is a saying from my husband that you must remember, knowledge can change your destiny. If you don’t want to become a farmer all your life, you must work hard to learn these things!"
Zhao Tian nodded in understanding, holding the book in his hand as if he was holding his future destiny.
But such a stable life was soon broken. An official of the Tengjia Army told them that there was no land in Taiyuan County to support them. If they wanted to live a good life, they had to go to the grassland to cultivate land. He asked them if they were willing to go.
, if you don’t want to, you can still cross the Yellow River to control the desert. This job belongs to civil servants. Every month we will distribute enough rations and monthly salary to support ourselves, but it is a bit more remote.
Everyone doesn't know where the grassland and the desert are, but if they have to choose, basically no one will choose the desert. Everyone knows that now they rely on the Tengjia Army to support them. Of course, they must listen to the Tengjia Army. If they don't choose the desert, they will only
Now that they can choose the grassland, they don't dare to ask where the grassland is.
Then Goto Kajun gave them a sickle and asked them to harvest grain. They had an income of 30 yuan a day, which made everyone very happy. Their family could earn 90 yuan a day, so they harvested wheat in one county and accumulated money in the past month.
There was 2,700 money left, which was kept by my mother, saying that it would be used to build a new home in the future.
But Zhao Tian could see that his parents were very envious of the members of the Tengjia Army. Their food production was too high, more than double that of his hometown. If they could have a field here, they would be willing to die here.
.
The thing that makes his parents envious the most is that here in Taiyuan County, they have actually found many fellow villagers from Yanzhou. They came here last year and are now living like rich people.
His fellow villagers told Zhao Tian's parents that the Tengjia Army is the one who helps the people, and you can live a good life as long as you listen to them.
Then they continued to go north to a place called Mayi. This place used to be very novel. There were giant waterwheels and canals built in the sky. Zhao Tian didn't believe these were canals, but he took a sneak peek and found them.
There is really water in it!
After learning about this water canal, Father Zhao sighed: "If there were such water conservancy facilities in my hometown, watering would be much easier, and our food production could be doubled! We wouldn't have to flee from famine!"
The wealth of Mayi was unimaginable to them. They traveled thousands of miles and found no place richer than Mayi. They found that every household here had dozens of small sheep and cultivated land.
In his eyes, cattle and carriages were things only owned by wealthy landlords, and they owned them all.
Every one of the tribesmen here is actually a rich man? This simply makes Zhao Tian’s parents unable to believe it. Their views were shattered and they were very cautious when they came here!
The tribesmen in Mayi are very busy every day. Not only do they have to harvest grain, but they are also busy taking care of the sheep. They also have time to weave. The whole family helps an old tribe of Tengjia Army to harvest grain. The host is very happy. Every day
I gave them an extra 10 yuan to see how hard they worked and told them many ways to make money.
If you don’t have money, you can find a way to knit sweaters. If you have money, you can find a way to build a textile machine and spin woolen cloth. As long as you are diligent, you can make hundreds or thousands of money. If you have more money, you can buy some lambs to raise.
, the price of both wool and mutton is very high now, and it can take up to three years to recover the investment!
And he confidently told them that as long as they are hardworking in Mayi, they can buy a family property in at most three years, and told them that as long as they work hard for three years, they can be as rich as him!
Zhao Tian's parents saw the sight of the Tengjia Army, imagined the words of this old tribesman, and began to dream about the life of the new family business!
There are many people like Zhao Tian's parents. They found that the further north the Tengjia Army lived, the richer they were. They thought they would have a good life when they went to the grassland!
Good night!
The whole city of Mayi started to get lively. The Harvest Festival has become a special festival for the whole city of Mayi. The whole city of Mayi started to take action. Tables, chairs and benches in the warehouse began to be filled with principals and grain drying fields. Pigs and sheep were being slaughtered continuously.
Then they were packed up by tribes. Thousands of women were packing various dishes. The giant cauldrons left over from the old days of eating big pot rice began to be brought out for cooking. The aroma of the food filled the entire city of Mayi. Other tribesmen also looked like
During the holidays, prepare a table of delicious food at your own home to reward yourself.
When the moonlight rises, the entire Mayi has become a gourmet city, and everyone is waiting for the delicious food.
Xu Wei stood on the high platform and said with a tin trumpet: "Today's delicious meal is a practice for everyone. I hope everyone will go to the grassland to rebuild their homes and live a life where they can have enough to eat!"
"Okay?" Everyone cheered for a while, and then there were the sounds of eating and drinking everywhere. Everyone couldn't stand such good food.
Even Xu Wei was a little bit affected and started eating and drinking!
Old Man Wang wiped the sweat from his head and said: "Fortunately, we are having this meal in Mayi. It is really difficult to prepare a banquet for hundreds of thousands of people in other places!"
Xu Wei smiled and said: "As long as your thinking does not slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties. Old man, have you forgotten how we got to Mayi in the first place? The people of Bingzhou gave us a lot of help along the way. They can all find a solution.
If we can provide enough food to feed our 200,000 troops, why can’t we provide banquets for 150,000 people!”
Old man Wang thought about the past days and said with a smile: "Old man always thought that Qu Shuai was a prodigal son who spent several times the money to buy things, but now it seems that this is Qu Shuai's ambition. If it hadn't been for these multiple times of effort, we wouldn't have done it in the first place.
Maybe it was so easy to escape the pursuit of the Han army! Now our Tengjia army is getting better and better, but the Han Dynasty has begun to decline. From now on, you will definitely be the leader of the world!"
