Unlike 1,500 years later, Northland wheat is not a staple food at the moment, even if it is to harvest an extra grain, after the wheat is threshed, there are not many fine grinding, and more often it is directly steamed in a bowl. The texture of Maifana ...... It's literal.

Therefore, wheat is not eaten by scholars after all, and if the old masters eat a bowl of wheat rice and have their teeth, it will be something that can be complained about for a lifetime.

However, wheat is finely ground and becomes flour, which is very different and can be made into various foods. It's just that the yield per mu is touching, far inferior to millet and millet. Even in the water conservancy areas of Henan Province, most of the Ueda will also have rice. The taste of rice is naturally much better, although there is a national occupation city south of Jiaozhou, thousands of miles of sea and west of Shitang, and its rice can produce three seasons, but unfortunately the taste is extremely bad, and the people in the south of the Yangtze River do not like it.

At this time, the best rice sold in Henan Road, one is the pearl rice produced in Taihu Lake, there are many branches, including a kind of phoenix rice in Jiangyin, the taste is soft and glutinous, Yu Shinan is in Beijing, most of them take this rice to entertain guests, and the reputation is excellent. The other kind of rice produced in Raozhou, Yugan and other places of Pengli Lake has a solid taste of porcelain, not much water for cooking, and it is high yield, plus the particles are slightly longer, and Taiji Palace has a lot to buy.

It's not so easy to change what you eat, but if it's delicious, anyone will stick out their mouths and try it.

In accordance with the state practice of 1,500 years later, the Shicheng Iron and Steel Plant concealed its output, and of course it was not a big deal to conceal the output, and it would not have been shot. Besides, this is a private enterprise, although the state takes care of and purchases, but the purpose of concealing the output is to develop imperialism with Datang characteristics, so it is very scientific and reasonable.

It is only that the number of slave laborers increases at any time, and it is impossible to rely on inferior aged grain all the time to deal with it. The grain stocks of Zhenguan Year basically came from the ten-year accumulation of Wude Year. Aged grain was depleted due to wars and disaster relief. However, I ran into a mess in Hebei Province, and the states of Hebei Province were in deficit. That's where it comes from.

Unlike 1,500 years later, the deficit can be repaired by making accounts, and in this year, the deficit is the inventory of the Chazhou capital. The number is not right, the official dies first, and then it is the turn of the adjutant of the lord and the like, then the county order, and then the state assassin history......

The official is boring, just greedy for a little dirt. Take such a big risk.

If it weren't for the strong support of Zhang Caozhi, a conscientious young man in society, I am afraid that many shrewd and capable public servants would have lost a lot because of a small loss, which is really a big loss for the Tang Empire.

"The harvest of this wheat per mu is only about 200 catties, which is not very interesting. Besides, the barbarians don't like farming, so it's better to let them mine. ”

Someone persuaded Zhang De like this.

However, Lao Zhang held a meeting of managers of China Resources counties in Pingzhou, Jizhou, and as the mastermind behind the scenes, he repeatedly emphasized that agriculture is the cornerstone of society. It's the natural nanny of industry, so don't keep an eye on money.

Then Lao Zhang said earnestly: "The land of western Liaoning is vast and sparsely populated, and the wheat fields are less laborious than the millet and millet. And although the yield per mu is low, it is widely planted, and there are thousands of hectares of land. It's also considerable. ”

How can you make a profit of 200 million catties of wheat in one million acres of land. According to the daily consumption of the Tang Army's rations, it is calculated as two to five catties. It can feed a lot of soldiers, if only a little more elite soldiers. It's even more impressive.

And it's not just farming, interplanting cotton is also something Zhang De wants to do, plus alfalfa grass and so on, the output of one acre of land in a year is enough to play for three or five years before the soil is completely consumed. As for rotational fallowing, in these years, rotational planting and fallow eggs, less people and more land, and not squeezing out the fertility of every inch of land, that is cruelty to oneself.

"No one eats wheat, it."

"Slaves are still picking? In this workshop, instead of feeding bran and wheat bran, after the wheat is ground, one person is also served with one or two meats, which is good! ”

Some people complain and some refute, which makes Lao Zhang very satisfied, at least these stinky and shameless managers of China Resources are working hard to think for the company, forming a good Tang Dynasty version of the corporate culture, the purpose of this corporate culture is: don't feel that the company is exploiting you, it is the company that rewards you with a mouthful of food, and you want to resist if you don't kneel down?

"The West Mill in the city of Beijing grinds flour quite finely and can be emulated. In addition, steamed cakes can be stored overnight, which can save a lot of money. ”

Zhang De then said, "Whether the imperial court wants to conquer Liao, in my opinion, there is no need to think about it anymore." The conquest of Liao is inevitable, and the land of the four counties of the Han Dynasty can be abandoned? At that time, Liaodong was not only ten thousand acres of fields? ”

Everyone's eyes suddenly warmed up, these managers, of course, can also be said to be the head of the head of the manager's office, some of them are from Jiangyin's own family, some are from the Cheng family's Li family, some are from the old devil of Wei Chi, and there are also local small families and small wealthy families, as well as relatives and friends of the East Palace staff, as well as some officialdom colleagues who Lao Zhang knew when he was a librarian......

In short, it's complicated, it's huge, and it's painful.

But I have to say that these people don't do anything even if they fart, just this little bit of personal connection is enough to make Lao Zhang eat and wait for death for a lifetime.

However, it is not Zhang De's goal to eat and wait for death, his goal is to play the little overlord learning machine and wait for death.

"There is a lot of hemp cultivation in Liaodong now, and the generals in the western part of Goguryeo have enclosed the land to graze sheep, and some Nanmurwei people are now grazing for the Buyeo people."

"There are more than 100 cities in Fuyu, and there are many acres of land. In the past two years, merchants have traveled between the two countries, and the local products and features of various places have been recorded. Compared with the previous year, the grain fields in eastern Liaoning decreased by at least 10%. ”

"Why not just one percent? The western general and the envoys of Xuansu City drove the peasants to the south, and now there are many exiles in Wugujiang and Yalushui. When the eldest grandson Gongzi took office, we bought Goryeo maids in Jian'an, the number of which was about 3,000, but the Jian'an ambassador concealed the report to the upper peak, and only said that there were more than 200 fugitives to the Goguryeo patrol. ”

If a family of five is counted, and three maids come from one family, then at least a thousand families will be destroyed. This situation is enough to make Goguryeo unstable, but there is no, which shows the strangeness.

"The person who built the Great Wall in Liaodong was a powerful Goryeo hero, whose name was Gai Suwen. Don't look at his youth, but he is a ruthless man, and hundreds of people have died in Jian'an City of Goryeo at his hands. ”

It is also beneficial to have a meeting often, at least after these messages are summarized, Zhang De has a general idea. What is happening in Goguryeo now, and what has changed in Liaoxi and Liaodong, those official ears and eyes spies are far less powerful than these bastards who want money.

After a while of noise among these carnivores, who had never eaten vegetarians, Zhang De asked, "Then Gai Suwen, it has been more than a year since he supervised the construction of the Great Wall, right?" ”

"When the Turks fell, they came to build the Great Wall, and the city of Beisha was built all the way to Buyeo City, and it was under construction for three years."

Hearing the return, Zhang De was stunned: This Gai Suwen is a bit interesting, very strategic.

The Tang Dynasty wanted to kill Goguryeo, this is an established national policy, ******** this matter is to put it bluntly: Lao Tzu is surrounded by a circle, and there must be no one who can fight.

Of course, this is a big country, and for a small country, what the fate will be, it all depends on luck. If you have good luck, you may be able to mix it for hundreds of years; If you have bad luck, it will be miserable, and you have to look for the traces of ruts and crushing from the historical process of a great country.

However, for Lao Zhang, an engineering dog, all fortifications are paper in front of him. At present, the Tang army will definitely be very painful, but if the commander of Zhengliao is Uncle Zhang or Uncle Li or Uncle Cheng or even Uncle Wei Chi...... Then the one who hurts the egg must be the Goguryeo people.

"In this way, starting in August, the price of hemp has risen by two cents."

Zhang De said suddenly.

"Two texts?! it, this ...... That's too much, isn't it? ”

"Yes, the father, now that the northland hemp is full, if you raise the price, you won't be able to collect much."

The corner of Lao Zhang's mouth twitched: "It's just that you can't collect much to raise it, if you don't raise it, the Goguryeo people will still grow hemp next year?" Gotta give them a lot of hemp. ”

The meat-eating managers were stunned: "it, if they grow hemp, the grain will not be harvested, what should I do?" ”

"Ask us if we can buy it."

Lao Zhang was a little speechless, there was still a lack of communication, and the intentions of the leaders could not be accurately understood by his subordinates, which was really disappointing.

"Uh...... it, this business sells food, and it can't get out? Besides, the profit on food is too low, and it's not worth wasting your efforts. ”

Of course, the man of Liangfeng County knew what would happen if he smuggled grain from the Tang Dynasty to Goguryeo, but why would he do this?

"Is the fleet idle and not doing business? Last month, the old lord of the northern country of Zhushi Island was eager to restore the country, and when the time came, the grain grown on Zhushi Island was pulled to Liaodong by the fleet to be sold. It's not the grain of Hebei and Henan, what are you afraid of? In addition, there is not enough food on Zhuzi Island, and the land in the west of the capital of the Japanese Kingdom is also fat, and there are strong and powerful people in the Japanese Kingdom, so why not buy grain and resell it to me? ”

Seeing the bewildered expressions of a group of carnivorous managers, as the mastermind behind the China Resources, Lao Zhang encouraged them in a tone: "Vision, be long-term." Be broad-minded. ”

"It's reasonable, it's reasonable."

"My generation is really ashamed, embarrassed, embarrassed ......"

"The words of the public, like Daigo empowerment, make people suddenly open, it is really breathtaking......"

Too deliberate!

Such sycophants are completely unqualified!

However, these are not the main points, this meeting can be regarded as a unity of thought, integration of internal opinions, about the further upgrading and strengthening of the Tang Dynasty version of the East India Company, it can be regarded as walking on the right path. (To be continued.) )
