562: Salt production, silkworm cultivation, food stamps]
Shen Tang said: "Humans, as long as they are not immortals who eat the wind and drink the dew after eating grains, even if they are as powerful as twenty-level warriors, they cannot cut off grains and grains. Food is the most important thing for the people, no matter how they farm, they can't cut it off. A decent job?"
Ning Yan tried to explain.
"My lord, it has nothing to do with dignity, but..."
Shen Tang knew that Ning Yan's understanding was still based on the inherent impression, so he intercepted her words with a smile: "Tu Nan, don't be impatient, I didn't make it clear. Yan Ling farming is different from the Gong farming you know. It takes one person's effort. It can even supply an army of thousands of people."
The power of one person...
Supply an army of thousands???
Ning Yan's first reaction when she heard this was that it felt absurd, but she was a smart person after all. Her second reaction was that Shen Tang had led a lone army deep into the hinterland of Shiwu for more than a month, and he had brought people to their knees and was able to survive A heroic deed of retreat.
Outsiders only think that Shen Tang is very courageous, running to other people's rear areas without getting lost, and achieving great results. They have never thought about the logistics and food problems. Even if they think about it, they will probably guess that she is using food from the enemy to solve her own crisis. .
As for why she was able to maneuver so well that she accurately found the enemy's lair and raided their granary in time to ensure constant food supply...
This is unknown.
Without knowing the truth, it is most logical to give food to the enemy, but Shen Tang's words gave Ning Yan another idea -
In the army, there are people who can turn spiritual words into food.
Completely self-sufficient!
Without the constraints of the supply of food and grass, this rapid march of a thousand people no longer had to worry about anything, and its mobility was completely maximized.
No wonder the enemy didn't even catch their shadows.
Co-authored truth is here!
For a moment, her heart beat like a drum.
The hands in the sleeves trembled slightly with excitement.
What is the struggle of marching and fighting?
The ability of the commanders of both sides to command the overall situation, the resourcefulness of the military advisors, the combat power of the military formation, the size of the troops and horses, or the power of the ordnance?
They are all factors that determine the outcome of the war, but in the final analysis, it is still a competition between the two forces' background and whose supply line of grain, grass and baggage is the most stable and secure. Once one side is unable to supply grain and grass and is besieged by the enemy, the outcome will no longer be in suspense.
This shows its importance.
For a while, Ning Yan's mind was filled with war logistics.
Shen Tang coughed slightly to bring her thoughts back: "The war will eventually end, and training them is not to follow the army and serve as granaries for the rest of their lives... But from birth to death, people can't live without food. If there is a spirit of words, Assistance, let one person farm for a year, pay taxes on the harvest, and have enough leftover food to feed the family every year, and no longer depend on the weather for food..."
"There will no longer be the tragic situation of dying of hunger and lying on the ground thousands of miles away." He was more serious than ever before, "This is what I want."
Ning Yan was startled when she heard this.
This is probably the difference between Shen Tang and others.
If Yan Ling is beneficial to farming, almost everyone's first reaction is that with this sharp weapon, they can fight in wars. But what Shen Tang thinks about is how many people will no longer have to starve to death. Fighting will kill people, and she hopes for more People live because of it.
Ning Yan managed to breathe steadily.
"My lord is kind."
Newcomer Liao Jia was even more in awe.
Not for anything else, just because Shen Tang has this heart.
The already high favorability level has gone up a notch.
I couldn't help but secretly say in my heart: [What kind of luck did Qi Yuanliang have to find such a little saint...]
Yes, this is the criterion for choosing a master for praying for good.
Liao Jia once laughed at his naivety.
I'm full of bad ideas, but I still want to find a living saint to be my lord's assistant? Isn't it afraid that the two of them will have different ideas and part ways?
Isn't this self-abuse?
When Liao Jiagang heard about Shen Tang's good reputation, he didn't believe it at first, then slowly questioned it, and finally he was doubtful. It wasn't until Shen Tang's words that he really dispelled his doubts. His unsuspecting psychological activities were naturally attracted by Gu Chi Listen to them all.
Gu Chi: "..."
My Lord is really "harmful".
After Ning Yan sat down, Xun Zhen spoke: "My lord, there are no other scholars like you and Ling De except you. How to practice, we still need to explore. Zhen suggested that we might as well collect the weather, integrity, farming, and farming tools first. Relevant spiritual books."
Although the same sayings and sayings have different effects due to different personal understandings, there is nothing wrong with learning the sayings in a targeted manner.
You can also do a test at the same time.
What does Shen Tang and Lin Fengyan's ability to transform spirits have to do with it? Is it because of their gender, or is it because of their way of being a prince/the way of scribes. Shen Tang's way of being a prince is originally related to farming, and it makes sense for Yan to turn spirits into things. Among them. The core of Lin Feng's "Essential Techniques for Elevating the People" is farming, and "Essential Techniques for Elevating the People" is a masterpiece on agriculture. It is logical to have this effect.
besides--
Where are the others?
Would it be possible to achieve exactly the same effect by learning these farming-related sayings and cultivating enlightenment in this area?
These are still unknown.
Shen Tang: "Well, this matter needs to be arranged."
Last night's dream gave her confidence.
This will definitely happen!
Because of the farmers!
Because of the Farmhouse Academy!
Even more because of the contention of a hundred schools of thought!
However, it takes time to cultivate and develop, and those small fry that have barely reached enlightenment are obviously not of use yet. At present, Shen Tang and Lin Feng can only work overtime to ensure that the initial operation of the plan runs smoothly. If silkworm weaving Being able to form a characteristic industry would give Longwu County an extra income. The abacus beads in Shen Tang's heart were crackling.
After that, everyone discussed how to improve the plan and arrange manpower to start several projects at the same time.
Liao Jia originally thought that she had nothing to do with her.
After all, he is still a newcomer.
It will take three to five months to get familiar with the environment.
Who knows——
"Shaomei is familiar with Chi Yan?"
Liao Jia humbly said: "I know a little bit."
Shen Tang nodded when he heard this, raised his hand and allocated a group of manpower to him, asking him to find and level the wasteland and plan to build salt fields.
With the help of courageous warriors, the project will go quickly.
Make preliminary preparations before trying to attract seawater.
If that doesn't work, Yantian will have to convert it into farmland.
Liao Jia was speechless for a moment: "..."
Is this too fast?
Shen Tang didn't think so. She even felt that the manpower was too small and not enough. After the morning meeting, she hurriedly took people to inspect the abandoned salt wells, and also brought along the government officials who had been in charge of the salt wells. It would be best if the abandoned salt wells could be used. Once it is put into use, it will be dug separately. The digging of salt wells is a difficult problem for the current level of science and technology, and it is also the main reason why the cost of well salt remains high.
but--
Wu Dan Warrior is really useful.
Shen Tang once didn't understand why the world only wanted to let Wu Daren Warriors, such useful all-purpose tool men, fight with them?
What a waste of natural resources, what a waste of natural resources!
"Explanation, stay for a while."
When the morning meeting dispersed, Chu Yao smiled and called Xu Quan to stop him.
"Gong Cao has any orders?"
Chu Yao said: "We have something to discuss."
Who can I buy silkworm seeds from?
Xu Jie.
Who can I buy mulberry leaf material from?
Xu Jie.
Who can I buy a large amount of coarse salt from?
Or Xu Jie.
Although he is not in the official office of Longwu, his shadow of Xu Wenzhu is everywhere, and his cousin Xu Quan is the best mouthpiece!
Xu Quan, who originally wanted to find Zhao Wei, had to change his mind.
"good."
Zhao Wei, who was waiting with a gun in his arms, saw Qi Shan and Liao Jia on duty from a distance. It was not that Qi Shan wanted to get close to this person, it was simply because the Lord asked him to bring a group of newcomers to familiarize themselves with the environment. For example, taking Liao Jia with him Jia went to the military camp to mobilize manpower.
Who knows that Liao Jia doesn't even know where to open the gate of the military camp at this moment? Others are not familiar with Liao Jia, and Qi Shan, who recommended Liao Jia, naturally became the most suitable candidate.
Zhao Wei: "Sir, did you announce your duty so early?"
Liao Jia got on the carriage assigned by the government office.
"No, we still have to go to the military camp."
Zhao Wei's eyes lit up: "Then can I go?"
She is Liao Jia's nominal guard.
Lio Jia looked at Qishan and nodded.
"able."
Zhao Wei is gone, so he can take the man into his pocket, right? Hehe, I just hope that Dayi will see his daughter in front of the battle one day, so that he won't lose his composure.
The government garrisoned troops outside the city.
From a distance, you can see a swarm of flags waving in the wind.
Zhao Wei often followed his father into the military camp to play, but no matter how much Zhao Feng doted on his daughter, he would not let her run around. She was watched all the time, and the places she could go were extremely limited. This time she went to a stranger. The military camp is full of expectations.
The military camp flags, in addition to Shen Tang's [深], are the surnames of the commanders of each camp, which can be distinguished at a glance.
【white】
Zhao Wei murmured: "This surname is rare."
After thinking about it for a while, I didn't expect that there was a famous martial artist with the surname Bai, the carriage was engraved with the official seal, and the lights were green all the way.
"Go and see the commander of this camp first."
By chance, the general was in the camp.
Bai Su was wearing armor, and his front feet had just come back.
"Why is the chief secretary here? But does the lord have an order?" Bai Su was on duty at the military camp today and did not attend the morning meeting.
Qi Shan asked Lio Jia to bring over the transfer order signed by Shen Tang, and said: "His surname is Liao, Liao Jia, Liao Shaomei. The lord asked him to transfer a hundred men, at least twenty low-ranking officers, to go to the wasteland. Is it convenient for Captain Bai to open up salt fields?"
Bai Su confirmed that the order was correct.
Cai Dao: "It's natural and convenient."
Breaking the stereotype that women cannot embody literary spirit and courage, Liu Jia recognized at a glance that the courageous warrior in front of her, who was the same height as herself, was a real woman. However, Zhao Wei did not recognize it, and was attracted by Bai Suying's Wu Qingxiu. face is attractive.
She has seen too many rough and arrogant warriors.
A little more comely, also like Xu Quan.
I have never seen a "male" like Bai Su, who is handsome, elegant and yet powerful, and her aesthetic appeal is totally hers!
Bai Su put away the order: "Follow me."
Although her battalion has expanded to 3,000 people, in broad daylight, apart from basic defense, less than 50% of them are left, and the rest are either practicing or working. In such a large martial arts training ground, there are only five or six hundred people left. A man is practicing hard at stabbing.
Bai Su summoned his deputy who was leading the drill.
Fortunately, he is an acquaintance.
"How could it be you?"
Isn't this the young man named Lu?
Bai Su noticed Zhao Wei, glanced at her face, glanced at the spear she was carrying, and finally landed on Zhao Wei's hands exposed outside the sleeves. There were thick calluses left by martial arts practice on the fingers and palms. It seemed that she was also a Lian Jiazi is still a girl.
She asked: "Zhi Zong, do you know him?"
"We met the criminals who were arrested two days ago."
