Chapter 44: The Goal is Gold
Of course, Li Xiangqian and others will not forget to mix in private goods, "We must always unite in Israel...... Under the leadership of the core collective, we are always ready to fight for our great cause for life. ”
Sprinkled, this nonsense doesn't take much time, and it probably takes up a few minutes after dinner when the first movie just opens, Li Xiangqian erases all the logos of the former Guangdian Zongju, and naturally the time is much richer, of course, some pictures from the future will be added, but these dirt buns don't know what high-speed rail, starship or something, the real "heavy weapon of the country" The audience's response was not enthusiastic, however, some "ordinary" pictures attracted the attention of some people.
"Master, as it was said in the movie, this one farmer can grow dozens of hectares of treasures, can you really give it to us."
That's right, the editors appointed by Li Xiangqian, in line with the idea of being close to the people and the masses, made a short film dedicated to the progress of agriculture in later generations, and did not introduce too much about the "black technology" such as automatic vegetable factories, that is, some rice transplanters, harvesters, and piles of grain, under genetic engineering, huge pumpkins, huge fat pigs, etc., all made these people who started the morning because of hunger excited, although Li Zicheng's rebel team was similar to the former postman, blacksmith, There are a lot of salesmen, but as an agricultural society, there are still a lot of farmers in the team, and people are very confused.
Li Xiangqian smiled, of course he couldn't say, this should be at least a few years later, and said: "Farming is very hard, even if there are these machines, but how to use and repair them is also troublesome, in the future, the world will be peaceful, you can go into the city to do things, there are many better jobs to do." ”
Zhao Bangmao shook his head, he also crawled out of the pile of dead people, he has seen the scene of starvation everywhere, and he has also tried the feeling of not being able to eat for many days, in fact, this lean Luoyang man has lived since he was a child, saying that he can't eat, and there are too many children born in the family, and he was thrown into the basin, but he didn't drown, so he couldn't bear to be like this, so he raised it like that, and named it Bangmao, which is also consistent, and the folk custom of cheap names is easy to feed.
Zhao Bangmao shook his head, and suddenly knelt down like this, "Dong Dong" kowtowed on the ground: "Master, I don't know any big truth, if I can live such a life of mountains of grain, I am willing to go to the soup for the master, and I will not hesitate." ”
Li Xiangqian was a little surprised when he was kneeling in front of him for the first time in his life, but after stabilizing, he smiled and said, "Where do you go to the soup and fire." ”
He pointed to the sky and said, "You see, with our strength, where we need you to go to the soup and go to the fire, just do your duty." ”
Zhao Bangmao said: "I don't dare, I just think that the old men are all fairy-like characters, and they originally drove me to wait for what to do, so we could only obey the order, but every day I was in charge of eating and drinking, and watching movies and dramas, I knew that this was really good for us." ”
Li Xiangqian smiled bitterly, how could he really be good to them, he ate all kinds of things every day, at least he maintained a level of nutrition and taste, and calcium tablets supplemented, and what he gave these captives to eat was actually small rice, pickles and gada, that's it, these people were already very satisfied.
What many people don't understand is that the economy of the Ming Dynasty is actually in a period of transition, and a large number of high-yield crops in the Americas have just been brought to TC by missionaries TC people with racial talent, known as the fate of the first foodie in the universe, naturally have a great interest in this, and are beginning to introduce seeds, try seeds, test their habits, taste, where to plant, suitable for frying, cooking or raw eating......
At that time, how many things were introduced, including corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, peanuts, sunflowers...... And so on.
Not to mention the peppers that Sichuan girls like to eat the most, as well as tobacco.
In other words, the corn and potatoes that are gradually blooming and bearing fruit in TC are just before the start of a potato boom.
Of course, theoretically, because Li Zicheng's regime is still in the run-in period, at least before the funeral of Emperor Chongzhen, there is no way to penetrate all the tentacles of power into the people and mobilize resources, as for the current government, hehe, have you heard that the company is about to go bankrupt, and the department manager runs away with money, in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, there are such people everywhere.
Therefore, many times, Li Zicheng's army arrived in a place, and the local county officials and treasury officials either fled with donations, or left an empty warehouse to the Shun army, so to speak, there was no discipline at all, so, in the preliminary discovery, although this year's temperature and precipitation were good, in fact, it was at this time that the legendary Xiaoice River period just passed the peak and reached a tail, although this year the Daming court was not as good as a day, but at least the spring ploughing was not delayed, I believe in the summer grain purchase, At least it is not a big problem to maintain the self-sufficiency of the northern people, but in order to feed this army, in fact, they are already running out of food.
Li Xiangqian fully understood that if the current army of captives had gradually begun to accept their orders, once they ran out of food, these people would immediately turn into a violent machete, hurting people everywhere.
Due to the training carried out during the day, the daily food standard is not low, the millet porridge is very thick, and the "light cake" modeled after Qi Jiguang is also one per person per day, because Daming does not have a vegetable basket project, so it is already good to have pickles to eat, but even with such a standard, using the stored grain brought by Li Zicheng from SX all the way, there are only 10 days of food left.
However, Li Xiangqian was still not in a hurry, he and Hu Minghui chatted slowly, Lao Hu was an engineer of a mining company who had recently walked closer to them, of course, college students in this era are worthless, in fact, they are the operators of an automatic mining machine.
However, in this era, it is a miracle-like existence, at least Hu Minghui's understanding of those mineral deposits that have not yet been discovered in this era is still very exquisite, and he also understands what Li Xiangqian wants to do, so he naturally chats happily.
"We need gold, at least in the short term, the importance of this first pot of gold is very high, no matter how I think about it, our force cannot be against our compatriots, so the initial government resettlement funds need to be carefully considered, in fact, I first put the idea in, the American colonists' vaults and silver vaults, you know, are all cast gold nuggets and silver bricks, piled up in mountains and piles, Spanish gold is accumulated to the age of the head of state has not been spent, when I think of so much gold in the end of the pearl secretly invested, I cry and cry."
