After Zhang Yushu briefly reported some information, he suddenly changed his words: "The urgent need now is that winter is coming." A survey of the surrounding areas of Pyongyang City revealed that the coal and iron ore deposits here are shallow and all of them are open-pit mining. ”

"However, the little devil transported all the high-quality anthracite coal mined, and the rest was used for railway transportation and the little devil's own coal, and the people's winter has no guarantee at all."

"The most anxious thing now is food and coal, otherwise, many people will have to freeze to death and starve to death this winter, which is very unfavorable for us to gain a foothold here, and no one will believe us in the future."

Bai Shujie looked at the logistics minister Qiu Shufen and the deputy minister Geng Lianbiao, and then said: "Shufen, Shi Liancheng reported that 130,000 tons of grain, salt, and edible oil have been transported back, and other troops have also received some income, how many resources do you have now?" ”

Qiu Shufen nodded and said: "In addition to the 127 ships used by Shi Liancheng's First Division to transport back 100,000 tons of grain, the most is that Chen Jie's Second Division used trains to transport all the materials along the railway from Andong to Lianshanguan. ”

"Among them, there are 230,000 tons of grain. This should be the autumn grain collected by the little devil this year, and it has not had time to transport it away. Wei Chong swept the warehouses of Yingkou and Dashiqiao Railway Station, and also brought back 30,000 tons of grain. Combined, we now have 360,000 tons of grain at our disposal. Is that a lot of numbers? Quite the opposite! ”

"All the items that we have seized in the occupied territories are not counted. Why? Because we want to stabilize the prices here! For example, when we came here, we were able to collect 220,000 tons of grain by executing only the big landlords of Toyo Takushoku Co., Ltd. near the railway. Can you move now? No! ”

"We now have 150,000 regular troops, 37,000 recruits, 41,000 prisoners, and more than 6,000 technicians and skilled workers, including nearly 210,000. In addition, there are nearly 10,000 people on our government's side, and a total of 250,000 people must be prepared. ”

"According to the calculation of one pound of grain per day, one person needs 250,000 pounds a day. However, one pound per person for our troops, skilled workers, and technicians is not enough, and it should be calculated according to two catties, so that 500,000 catties of grain are needed a day, that is, 25 tons, or 100,000 tons a year. ”

"According to the balance set aside for two years, we can use a maximum of 100,000 to 120,000 tons of grain. According to the results of Zhang Yushu's investigation, the population of the surrounding towns we occupied has exceeded 2 million people. I'm talking about the towns, not the countryside. ”

"Even if a person helps half a catty of grain every day, he needs 1 million catties a day, that is, 500 tons, or 180,000 tons a year. Now we have to make sure that no one starves to death, we also have to leave the seeds for next spring, right? ”

"So, we had to find another way. Otherwise, we will only be able to sustain ourselves for a year, and we will not be able to experience natural disasters. Even if we don't consider the local people, once our 250,000 people run out of food, it will be hopeless! ”

"The key issue is that the northern part of the Korean Peninsula is mostly mountainous, the northeastern region has deep and narrow valleys, and the coastal plains are mostly in the western region, and most of them are mountains and hilly terrain. The limited land along the western railroad is only 11 percent of the arable land that is suitable for growing food. ”

"The per capita arable land is about 0.8 acres, and the agricultural products include rice, corn, vegetables, wheat, barley, rape, sugar beet, millet, sorghum, soybeans and tobacco. Coupled with the impact of typhoons on the west coast, seawater backflow led to salinization of farmland. Due to the lack of fertilizer to change the soil quality, the yield has been greatly restricted. ”

According to this analysis, according to the current cultivation level of the farmers here, even if God blesses the harvest, they can only barely feed themselves, let alone provide sufficient military rations. With regard to the structure of agriculture on the Korean Peninsula, this is now our biggest problem. If you can save it for a while, you can't save a lifetime, and I hope everyone will hurry up and plan a strategy. ”

Most of the people here are girls, and a small number of singles have been fighting with Bai Shujie since they were children, and they don't know what farming is all about.

Qiu Shufen raised these questions, and the participants were like listening to a book from heaven. So in the end, I looked at Bai Shujie to see what tricks the omniscient commander-in-chief had.

Bai Shujie actually didn't farm either, so he was also full of money, so he asked tentatively: "How is the animal husbandry situation here?" ”

"The number of people engaged in farming is very small!" Zhang Yushu looked at the information in his hand and said: "Tongguò held a symposium of existing officials, and they said that the local people don't even have food for people, so how can they feed livestock?" Whatever is eaten by livestock, it is for human consumption. ”

Bai Shujie nodded: "How many small cargo ships are there that Shi Liancheng snatched back?"

"Four ports, four shipyards, a total of 719 ships have been brought back, and now they are all parked on the Taedong River south of Pyongyang. There are 33 small boats of less than 300 tons, and 385 boats of 300-500 tons. ”

"That's it!" Bai Shujie already had a preliminary idea: "Because of the exploitation of the little devils, the people can't survive anymore, so they have to produce to save themselves." ”

"We need to start in a number of ways: first, change the diet. Search for all fishermen at once, and then organize collective fishing companies. The government provides ships and provides free fuel for half a year, and the harvest is split in half. ”

"Half of the harvest that the fishermen get, in addition to their own consumption, the surplus may be exchanged for grain, oil and salt and other means of subsistence by the grain department. If there are no fishing nets, the government immediately organizes hemp mills to supply twine and weave fishing nets. ”

"Second, the establishment of the Animal Husbandry Bureau, the extensive purchase of breeding pigs, chickens, rabbits, cattle, sheep, our army disabled horses, pack horses can also contribute, vigorously promote animal husbandry. This should be widely publicized, because the development of animal husbandry is the only way to provide the fertilizer needed by crops. At the same time, increasing the amount of meat can also reduce food consumption. ”

"Third, vigorously promote the use of slope wasteland to grow green fodder for farming, and the government will reduce the land tax for one year on farmers' income. From the second year onwards, the tax rate of 1 out of 10 will be implemented. ”

"Fourth, set up a bone meal company to purchase all kinds of bones and process phosphate fertilizer. Bone meal can also be marketed as a non-staple food to improve people's calcium intake. ”

"Fifth, prepare our own bank, prepare to issue our own currency, in order to straighten out the tax order. As for the reserves, the gold and gold bars from the troops' reserves were taken out for emergencies. ”

"Sixth, encourage everyone to engage in the processing industry and commercial trade, advocate the exchange of what is available, increase the market circulation capacity, invigorate the market economy, and fundamentally reverse the current passive situation."

"Seventh, immediately rectify the factories and mines that have been recovered from the hands of the little devils, and restore production as much as possible. In particular, the three major coal mines around Pyongyang must be put into operation immediately. The wages of the workers, according to the current market situation, are settled with grain, and the problem of eating the workers is solved. The current wage standard is calculated according to 5 catties of rice per worker per day. ”

"Eighth, cash-for-work. We need to build docks, expand airports, build roads and railways, build fortifications, build a certain number of offices, and all of these things can be called on the peasants to work. The calculation standard is 4 catties of rice per person per day. Taking into account the practical difficulties of the family, everyone can withdraw a month's worth of food in advance. ”

"Ninth, carry out a census of the occupied areas and dig out the landlords and rich peasants. All those who hoard Juqi will be punished with death! All the food collected was used for relief to the victims. Remember, in front of our eyes, there are aristocrats who don't need to be cultivated by little devils, capitalists who don't need to be cultivated by little devils, and landlords who don't need to be cultivated by little devils! ”

After Bai Shujie finished explaining the basic principles and working methods of the agricultural issue, he quickly mentioned the industrial issue: "When we get back a lot of industrial equipment, such as shipbuilding equipment, we will expand the shipyards in Pyongyang. Second, we must quickly build workshops and equip the ordnance equipment we have brought with us and put them into production. ”

"We won't build very large warships, but I already know that the Pyongyang shipyard can build 3,000-ton freighters. Now that we have robbed a large number of steam turbines, we are ready to build our own cruisers. ”

"Although I have no technology, no drawings. However, we can pull the cruiser Wyvern and the destroyer Suncheon into the dock for reverse design. To put it bluntly, it's a big deal to dismantle the three warships that were snatched back, draw drawings for each part, and then re-weld it! ”

"The quality may not be good at first, but it's still okay as a mobile battery, right? The more than 6,000 technicians we got over, they can be favored by the little devils, and they should still have two brushes. ”

"No need to dismantle the warship!" Pei Cuiyun immediately interjected: "The sister ship of the Qinren ship is being built in the Dalian shipyard, and all the drawings are available. If nothing else, the drawings of the 25-ton and 34-ton gunboats I have here are complete, and the drawings of the 3,000-ton freighter are also complete. ”

"You're wrong!" Bai Shujie shook his head: "The freighter is a flat-bottomed ship, and the speed can't be raised." The destroyer and the Qinren ship are completely different from these shallow water ships, and the shape of the hull is different. Our steam turbines are limited, and once installed, they need to be functional. ”

"Besides, until the last desperate time, the three warships will not be able to participate in the battle, and the task of training sailors will be completed. Only by dismantling and remembering can people comprehend the essence and make progress. We need to look at the future, not at the little things in front of us. ”

"Because of this, our iron and steel mills should immediately resume production. In particular, it should be emphasized that the millions of tons of coking coal that the little devils brought in from our northeast are not allowed to move anywhere even if they freeze to death! Because that's what makes coke, and without coke there is no steel. We can't do anything without steel. ”

Pei Cuiyun then asked, "How to build the arsenal and the hangar?" ”

"Dig a cave!" Bai Shujie did not hesitate at all: "We have tens of thousands of prisoners, but we don't have materials, so let them dig caves." At the same time, it is necessary to ensure the supply of coal for thermal power plants to ensure that there is no shortage of electricity. The generator set that Shi Liancheng snatched back was allocated to the aviation division for two sets of backups. In addition, there are two sets of spare parts of the arsenal. ”

"Our fuel is limited, so all non-military power that uses gasoline and diesel must be used as little as possible. Gasoline and diesel fuel are for airplanes and armored vehicles, and heavy fuel is for warships. For the other ships, the steam turbines started and the fuel turbines stopped. ”

"Cuiyun, you have to remember one thing. We have a lot of coal here, and it's very cheap to mine in the open pit. Therefore, the equipment for gas production that was snatched back last time had to be built and installed as much as possible. Gas can be used to make gas bombs, but it can also be used in automobiles. ”

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
