Chapter 0771 - Up the Mountain and Down the Water

When I walked into the tent, I saw the four girls busily cooking.

There are not many things, very simple three dishes and one soup.

For Yang Qi, the lord of the country, it does seem a little shabby.

But now that Yan is in a food shortage, it is already very good to have three dishes and one soup.

"Roast chicken, fish soup ......"

Carefully looking at the three dishes and one soup, Yang Qi was slightly stunned, looked up and asked Cao Lin, "Where did this chicken and fish come from?" ”

Cao Lin stopped what he was doing, looked up and said with a smile: "The chicken was sent by Peng Pai, and it was said that it was caught in the mountains." The fish was sent by Zamahe Aoki, and the concubine guessed that eighty percent of them were caught from the river. ”

"Chickens in the mountains? Fish caught in the river? ”

Yang Qi lowered his head and muttered, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he beat his chest and said, "How did I think of such a simple question." ”

After saying this, Yang Qi hurried out of the tent with a happy face.

"Xianggong, you haven't eaten yet......"

"I won't eat it."

By the time Cao Lin chased him out, Yang Qi's figure had already disappeared in front of the tent.

Yang Qi returned to the camp where he worked, and immediately ordered Zama and Aoki to go down to give an order and summon all the officials in Yanjing City to discuss matters in the camp.

After a while, the officials in Yanjing City all gathered in Yang Qixing's camp.

Yang Qida sat on the top and asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, in the territory of Yan Kingdom, mountains, forests and lakes can be abundant?" ”

Lu Mengzheng bowed down and said: "Back to Your Majesty's words, in the territory of Yan Kingdom, there are five big rivers and more than 360 small waters, all over the entire Yan Kingdom. Mountains and forests are also very rich, Taihang Mountain is located in the northwest of Yan Kingdom, in addition to countless large and small mountains and forests. ”

"Good!"

Yang Qi stood up excitedly and said: "Now that the national disaster is at hand, there is a food shortage all over the country. In order to prevent the people from starving to death, I decided to carry out a strategy of going up the mountain and going down the water.

Let the yamen in various places organize the people, go up to the mountains to hunt animals, and go down to the rivers to fish, shrimp and crabs.

Even if we eat all the fish, shrimp and crabs in the river and the wild beasts in the mountains, we must not watch the people starve to death. ”

All the officials were stunned when they heard this.

They glanced at each other with complicated expressions.

Kou Zhun stepped forward slightly and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty...... I'm afraid this move will hurt the peace, right? ”

What Kou Zhun meant by hurting the heavens and harming the heavens, everyone in the camp knew very well.

It's not that Kou Zhun has mercy on those birds, animals, fish, shrimp and crabs, but once Yang Qi launches such a large-scale order to hunt animals and fish, millions of people rush up the mountain and down the river, which can easily disrupt the balance of the food chain.

Our ancestors discovered the existence of the food chain many years ago, and they also tried to interfere with the food chain in the past.

The end result was not very good.

Since it was impossible to explain such things in the language of science, they gave everything to heaven.

All the consequences of interfering with the food chain are considered to be the revenge of the heavens caused by the killing of the gods.

In view of the fear of God.

So after Yang Qi put forward this idea, the officials had concerns in their hearts.

However, millions of people are waiting to be fed.

How could Yang Qi take care of this.

Yang Qi looked at the officials under his command with firm eyes, and said in a deep voice: "People's lives are more important than anything else. If you really want to hurt Tianhe, then let Tianhe come to me. ”

The officials opened their mouths, not knowing how to persuade Yang Qi.

In the end, they could only salute in unison and say, "No......"

Kou Zhun hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the implementation of this decree can certainly alleviate the pressure of the domestic grain and grass crisis. But this is only for the original people, those who came from Liao, and the people who came from the Great Song Dynasty, they have not yet settled down, how can they talk about going up the mountain and going down the water? ”

Yang Qi straightened his waist and said lightly: "I have also thought about this problem, there have been many battles in the Yan Kingdom Classic, and many places have been empty, and the most serious one is in the east.

Therefore, I am going to resettle all the people who came from the Song and Liao countries to the east.

And the eastern part of our Yan country is near the sea, and within the sea, the products are abundant, far exceeding the land.

I have sent orders to the caravans of the South, and they have gathered tens of thousands of ships to be sent to the coast.

When the time comes, these people will be arranged to go fishing. ”

"This ......"

Lu Mengzheng hesitated: "Except for a few fishermen, I'm afraid that few people know how to fish......

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Yang Qi said indifferently: "You don't have to worry about this, I have my own plans......"

Kou Zhun was stunned and said, "Your Majesty wants to go out in person?" ”

Yang Qi nodded and sighed: "There is a national food shortage, how can I sit here safely." ”

After finalizing the decree to go up the mountain and go down the water.

Kou Zhun immediately ordered someone to write a newspaper and quickly distribute it to all prefectures and counties.

The officials of Yan State went down to the common people, and after learning of this decree, they launched a vigorous movement to go up the mountain and into the water.

In the past, the mountains and forests and rivers were inaccessible.

Now the mountains and forests and rivers are full of people.

According to the mountain and water conditions in various places, the yamen in various places carefully divided the hunting areas.

The people began to run in droves into the mountains and forests, and to drill into the rivers.

The mountains and rivers in the Yan country are very rich.

Although the people have long been out of the primitive state of existence, their development of all the surrounding mountains, forests and rivers is still very limited.

In the past, famous mountains and rivers were occupied by strong people.

The people did not dare to go into the mountains and forests alone.

This also maintains the pristine nature of the mountain forest.

Now with the help of the army, the people have organized a huge team into the mountains, and they are naturally not afraid of a few small thieves.

From the issuance of the decree to the implementation.

Within seven days, the feedback received from all over the country was very gratifying.

The people who organized the mountains in various places have made great gains, and some officials even asked Yang Qi if he needed to hand over some.

Yang Qi didn't pay attention to this.

He is stepping up preparations to go fishing.

Compared with the mountains and rivers, the sea is the real treasure trove.

The food in the mountains, forests and rivers will be consumed in a very short time.

But the products in the sea, even if all the people of Yan Kingdom eat them openly, they will never be able to eat them all.

After Yang Qi decided to go to the sea, he had a deep understanding of the work of going to the sea.

He found that the people of this era had a very simple understanding of the sea, even those fishermen who went out to sea all year round.

Many fishermen have never eaten anything they have never dared to touch.

No one was going to be the first to eat crabs at all.

The work that Yang Qi has to do is to record all the seafood that he has in his impression that can be eaten into a book, with pictures, and then print it, distribute it, and hand it over to the people.

Yang Qi prepared in Yanjing City for ten days.

Ten days later.

He took a group of horses and horses, and carefully selected 100,000 prisoners, and rushed to Shanhaiguan.

To the south of Shanhaiguan is the port city, which is the famous Qinhuangdao in later generations.

In the past, the Liao people built a simple port here, and later after the southern merchants stationed in the Liao country, they expanded the port here.

After Yang Qi pacified the sixteen states of Yanyun, it became a bridge between Yan and Nanguo.

The soldiers and horses guarding here, with the help of the Nanguo Money Bank, expanded tenfold on the original basis of the port.

Today's port city has become a port city that is not inferior to the southern harbor city.

When Yang Qi led the men and horses to arrive here, the port city was already full of people.

Except for the defenders, who were responsible for maintaining order and guarding the ships, the rest were either merchants or ordinary people.

For those businessmen who took the opportunity to make profits, Yang Qi ignored them.

At this time, no matter who sends grain to Yan Kingdom, no matter how high or low the price is, Yang Qi has to accept it all.

Who called the grain shortage in Yan Country serious?

After sending people to collect all the grain in the hands of the merchants, they were beaten and left the Yan country.

After sending off the merchants, the only people and soldiers left in the port city were the people and soldiers of the Yan Kingdom.

The generals stationed here had already prepared a residence for Yang Qi.

After Yang Qi arrived at the residence, he immediately gathered his men and horses and held a meeting.

Inside the hall.

Yang Qi sat alone at the top, and the rest of the people stood in front of the hall.

Yang Qi stared at one of the men wearing armor and asked in a deep voice, "Are you Wang Biao?" ”

Wang Biao, who was full of beard, nodded solemnly, "The last general, Wang Biao, will see Your Majesty." ”

Yang Qi waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite. I promised you before that I would let you go back and help Zhao Defang ascend to the throne, and then bring your family to Yan Kingdom.

Originally, I was thinking that when you came over, I would follow me to eat and drink spicy food.

But I never thought that after millions of you came, you caught up with the food shortage.

You abandoned the high-ranking officials and lords that Zhao Defang promised you, and rushed to Yan Country without any difficulty.

I didn't give you the life you deserve, do you have any complaints? ”

Wang Biao, who was standing in front of him, was the commander of the forbidden army who had been promised by Yang Qi and led the 100,000 soldiers of the forbidden army who had already taken refuge in Yang Qi to return to Bianjing.

Wang Biao looked at Yang Qi and said sincerely: "We don't complain. ”

After a pause, Wang Biao said calmly: "I am a soldier of the forbidden army, and I am not a person who cannot endure hardships. The brothers also understood that if they wanted to be happy, they had to endure hardship first. I waited for His Majesty to vote, but I didn't make an inch. Your Majesty has personally traveled here for the sake of our livelihood, which is enough to see that Your Majesty treats us with sincerity.

As everyone knows, His Majesty loves soldiers like sons.

When I waited in Bianjing City, although we had the name of the First Army of the Great Song Dynasty, no one ever regarded us as human beings.

In their eyes, we are just tools, and anyone can use them when they want to use them, and throw them in the barracks when they don't want to use them.

During the big war, they didn't care whether we lived or died, and they didn't care how many of our brothers died.

In the past, the brothers had nowhere else to go but to stay in the barracks of the forbidden army.

Now that His Majesty is in the north and has established the Yan Kingdom, our brothers also have a choice.

I just ask Your Majesty not to treat us as tools like them. ”

In the battle of Shunzhou that day, the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army did die too miserably, all because of Zhao Guangyi's stupid command.

Wang Biao had this kind of thought, and Yang Qi was not surprised.

Yang Qi looked at Wang Biao seriously and said, "As long as you treat me sincerely, I will naturally treat you sincerely." This time, you have hit a food shortage. Everyone else thinks it's a disaster, but I think it's a phoenix rebirth.

As long as you wait with me to work together to get through this difficult time.

Withstood this test.

In the future, when you wait in Yan Kingdom, you will definitely be able to eat and wear without worry. ”

"Huh~"

Wang Biao, as well as the generals of the forbidden army who followed Wang Biao, all knelt on one knee and said loudly: "The ministers will never give up for Your Majesty." ”

"Good!"

Yang Qi shouted heroically, he looked at the other person again, and asked, "Wang Mingcheng, can you prepare what I ordered you to do?" ”

Today's Wang Mingcheng is much older than before, but his eyes are bright.

Hearing Yang Qi's question, Wang Mingcheng bowed down and said, "Back to Your Majesty's words, 13,400 big ships, the minister has already prepared. In addition, the minister also collected a large number of small boats among the people, totaling 32,000 boats. Each of the large ships has its own sailing captain, and each small ship is equipped with a captain.

Combined, large and small ships can carry 300,000 people and 10,000 catties of fish. ”

When the status reached Yang Qi's step, many things no longer needed to be done by himself, and many actions that were enough to shock the world could be completed with one order.

It can carry 300,000 people and 10,000 catties of fish, which can be said to be unparalleled.

This scene is enough to be written into the history books.

Yang Qi heard Wang Mingcheng's words, nodded and said, "Very good, pass the order, let all the boats prepare, and start fishing today." ”

Yang Qi glanced at everyone, "We can wait, but the people can't wait." For every quarter of an hour we delay, perhaps one people starves to death.

The fishing operation is imminent, and I hope you can remember that everything you can eat, everything you can bring back with you. ”

Yang Qi shouted loudly: "A fish is a life." ”

Everyone said in unison: "No! ”

Yang Qi ordered Peng Pai: "Send the booklet I have prepared." ”

A small booklet, why did Peng Pai distribute it?

Because Yang Qi not only issued a booklet, but every person who received the booklet was also equipped with a scarecrow or volcano guard.

And each of the Volcano Guards and Scarecrows carried three boxes of Heaven-shattering Thunder.

Yang Qi is fully prepared, if the net fish net is not available, then fry the fish.

As long as you encounter a school of fish in the shallow water, two earth-shaking thunderbolts will go down, and after a while, a piece of belly-flopping fish will float to the surface, and the people on the boat only need to pick up the fish.

After everything was completed, it was already noon.

All those who were selected to go out to sea to fish boarded the boat.

Yang Qi led nearly 10,000 people and boarded twenty huge five-tooth ships, which would serve as flagships and lead all the ships that went out to sea to fish.

The sea breeze howled, and the cheeks of those who blew ached.

Yang Qi put his hands behind his back, stood on a five-tooth ship led by him, looked around, and looked at the black sea covered by ships, and sighed with emotion.

Nearly 40,000 ships, nearly 300,000 people, at this moment, formed the most powerful fleet in the world.

And their purpose is not to conquer the world, they just want to fill their stomachs first.

But no one knew that this fishing was the origin of their conquest of the world.
