Volume 44 Chapter 4 The First Priority

"In the four prefectures of Huanzhou, Kangzhou, Ningzhou, and Bingzhou, how many acres of official land are there?" Zhang Tie, who was sitting in the banquet hall, asked while drinking.

"Huanzhou, Kangzhou, Ningzhou, and Bingzhou have a total of 13.8 billion acres of official land!"

"Since the second half of last year, many people have been evacuated in the four states, and many wealthy families have also been evacuated, will it affect the cultivation of official fields?"

"Since the invasion of the demons, people from all over the country have evacuated a number of people from the territory of the four states, and in the second half of last year, some places did abandon some fields, and the land prices in various places have plummeted, but the official fields of various states and counties are cultivated by the border people who have entered Taixia, and the border people do not have the right to evacuate and migrate at will, so it does not affect the cultivation of official fields!" Lu Yanyu sat in the second seat and answered Zhang Tie's questions fluently.

The welcome dinner held by Sinong Hall for Zhang Tie has been more than half, the fluorite lamps in the hall have been lit one by one, Zhang Tie did not take any shelf when he was eating just now, and everyone was staggered, starting from the chief officials of Sinong Hall, the commissions of various states and counties took turns to come forward to toast with Zhang Tie, Zhang Tie did not refuse, the amount of wine was like a sea, just let the toasters report their names and official positions one by one to drink with them, in a short period of time, although it was a small cup, but Zhang Tie drank the wine in his stomach I am afraid that it is not less than a few catties, seeing the chief officer massive, The atmosphere in the dining room became warm, and the thoughts of the commissioners at all levels who were originally hanging their hearts were also put into their stomachs.

After a few catties of wine, Zhang Tie's face became more and more ruddy, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he was not drunk at all, and then Zhang Tie directly asked about official business, after Zhang Tie opened his mouth to ask about these official duties, the noisy sound in the banquet hall slowly became smaller and smaller, and gradually, there were only the voices of Zhang Tie and Lu Yanyu in the whole hall, and the other envoys of all levels sat on their seats and listened quietly. Don't dare to interject.

"What to do with the abandoned fields in various places?"

"Some of the abandoned fields are listed for sale, and those that are not listed for sale are managed and cultivated by the agricultural institutions in various localities in accordance with the laws and regulations of the war zone, and are distributed to the people who still insist on staying in the war zone. Let fewer people plant more land, and most of the abandoned fields will be solved. ”

"Did the states fail last year's grain harvest?"

"Yes, there are many official and private fields in the four prefectures of Huanzhou, Kangzhou, Ningzhou, and Bingzhou, which have been harvested, causing panic within a certain range!"

"Then how will the grain varieties in the states be solved this year?"

"This year, the grain seeds in the official fields in each state are directly allocated by the Shaofu, and they are transported from other states by airships and airships, and they can be sown after the beginning of spring, and the reserves of the six warehouses in each city are not used!"

Hearing this, Zhang Tie breathed a sigh of relief. Really put your mind at ease, as long as there is no problem with the grain varieties in the four states, it will be easy to do.

Originally, the thing that worried him the most was the problem of grain in the states, even if he had the Black Iron Fort, but the grain stored in the Black Iron Fort was only a drop in the bucket in the face of the demand for tens of billions of acres of land in the four states, and it was not enough at all. If there is a problem with the grain in the four states, the garrisons in the states will not be able to solve the problem of food nearby. He, the commissioning general, is enough to choke, because if he wants to transport grain from other states to support the consumption of garrisons in various places, just the loss and transportation costs on the road, as well as the human resources used, will be an astronomical amount, and he will not even be able to eat. You also tell those Taixia's legions how to fight with the demons, you can't let the Taixia's legions also eat people like the demons.

Fortunately, Xuanyuan Zhiqiu also understood what the consequences would be if there was a food problem in the territory of Anxi Governor's Mansion at such a time, so Shaofu directly came forward to solve the grain problem in the four prefectures.

The grain produced in Shaofu is the best variety of Taixia. It is basically a tribute thing, directly for the royal family of Taixia and the homes of various dignitaries and dignitaries in Xuanyuan Hill, and the agricultural bases for the production of food in Shaofu are directly under the jurisdiction of Shaofu, and the management is very strict, and every link is controlled, and there will be no purchase of grain at all, and it is impossible to let the demonized grain of Tongtian Sect and the demon clan flow in, so in the food disaster, if there is any place in Taixia where the grain is the most unlikely to have a problem, it is definitely the grain that Shaofu stores and governs.

Everything in Shaofu was originally a privileged thing, and when it comes to privilege, many people may hate it, but this privileged thing is not completely bad, and in some cases, it may play a big role.

"Just ......"

Seeing the relaxed look on Zhang Tie's face, Lu Yanyu hesitated again, and a trace of worry appeared on his face......

"Just what?"

"It's just that the various grain types allocated by Shaofu are only enough for the grain consumption of 13.8 billion mu of official land in Huanzhou, Kangzhou, Ningzhou, and Bingzhou this year.

"With the grain seed, can't it be solved?" Zhang Tie asked with a slight squint as he played with his wine glass.

Lu Yanyu gritted his teeth, "The grain allocated by the Shaofu should be said to be unlikely, but many official fields in the four prefectures of Huanzhou, Kangzhou, Ningzhou, and Bingzhou have been harvested last year, and many of the soil in the fields have been damaged and destroyed by demonized grains, the soil has a tendency to harden, and the restoration of soil fertility is a big problem. ”

After listening to Lu Yanyu's words, the envoys at all levels present nodded secretly, their faces were concerned, Lu Yanyu's words were said to their hearts, if there is really a problem in the grain production of various states and counties this year, which will affect the supply of the army, I don't know how many of these people sitting here today will lose their heads.

Zhang Tie also knew more clearly at this time why Da Sima insisted on letting himself be the general of the commission, because this year's grain harvest in the official fields in the four states is a big problem related to the stability of the entire war zone, and it can only succeed, not failure, once the grain harvest in the four states is out of harvest again, Shaofu is estimated to be unable to rescue again, this time Shaofu can allocate 13.8 billion mu of grain needs in the four states, presumably it is also after vomiting blood before gritting his teeth and taking it out, it is a hammer deal, and I want Shaofu to allocate it again, the possibility is very small, Shaofu will not have such a large regular reserve.

Therefore, this year, grain production and security in the four prefectures have become the first priority of the war zone. (To be continued.) )
