Chapter 617: Three Fires (Congratulations to steelboy22 for being promoted to alliance leader!) )


There are plain basins and many mountains and rivers in the south of the mountain, and it is considered a land of fish and rice.

Li Chao felt that at the moment of the catastrophe, everything that could be eaten had to be taken down and stored to prepare for disaster and famine.

There are a lot of fish in the Dan River, there are also a lot of fish in the Tang River, and there are even more fish in the Han River.

Fish is also a grain, and it is still a high-quality food, which is much better than vegetables.

Li Chao remembers that when he was a child at his grandmother's house, he would often listen to the great famine in his grandmother's house in those years.

It is said that at that time, there was a great famine, there was no food at all, and the harvested grain had to be handed over to the public grain, and the family could not share much. can only barely support by eating vegetable porridge, the so-called vegetable porridge, is to put a little rice, and then put a lot of vegetables together to cook.

What taro porridge rice, sweet potato porridge rice, pumpkin porridge rice, radish porridge rice in short, is a variety of vegetable porridge, in fact, it is just a vegetable without porridge, there are not a few grains of rice in a pot of vegetable porridge, and the whole family eats every day, which is not as good as the pigs raised by later people.

Whenever my uncle talked about what happened at that time, he would always lower his head and show him a scar on his head.

It was he who stole food and was beaten, and his head was bleeding.

At that time, they were all collectives and eating in the cafeteria.

The village is a collective brigade, and the production of steelmaking has been delayed, but as a result, the satellite was released, and the grain collected was basically handed over to the government, and as a result, there was not much ration left in the village.

After two months of eating in the canteen, the rations left in the village were almost gone.

So every day, everyone can only make a pot of porridge from the canteen, and the porridge is as thin as water.

It is impossible for a large family to live on such a little gruel, so each family can only find their own way, and the best way is to add vegetables to the porridge.

The pumpkins, taro, and radishes in the field are boiled anyway.

The food is gone, but there are still some vegetables in the countryside.

At that time, my uncle had to take Li Chao, his mother and other brothers and sisters to dig wild vegetables and catch fish and shrimp every day.

What purslane, purslane, camellia, eat everything, touch small fish and shrimp, snails, mussels do not let go, relying on this barely to support.

At that time, Li Chao's grandfather was a haircut, and the villagers were called head shavers, who not only knew how to cut hair, but also fell and massaged the bones, cured snake venom, etc., and was a very respected craftsman in the countryside.

In the difficult days, my grandfather was not bad because he was in the supply and marketing cooperative, and he was half a commercial grain eater, and he could get some rice every month.

At that time, the villagers liked to prepare the longevity for themselves early, and my grandfather also invited a carpenter to make the longevity, and in order to entertain them, he specially cooked a pot of rice.

In fact, it was just a pot of porridge, but because the rice was not so thin, it was a very decent hospitality meal at that time.

As a result, my uncle hadn't eaten for a long time, so he secretly ate a small bowl, and was knocked on the head by my grandfather with a dry pipe, and his head was bleeding.

Stealing a bowl of white porridge at home, only to be beaten by his father and bleeding, this is the real thing in that famine era.

In this era, the people's ability to resist famine is even worse, and what they are most afraid of is the formation of a starvation tide, which will be more terrible than the locust plague.

The only way to avoid this terrible thing is to accumulate grain.

However, food is limited, and although the summer harvest is abundant, the autumn harvest will definitely fail.

Li Chao can only remember everything he can eat now.

Fish, there are so many fish in the river, how can you let go.

Dried fish, smoked into dried fish, saved, scooped up all the fish in the river, and fished up a hundred catties, maybe you can save a family in a disaster year, and save a thousand catties, you can save ten households.

The ship approached Upper Los Angeles.

There are more boats on the river, and there are sails.

The boatman Lao Wang has always said that Shangluo City is very prosperous, very prosperous, but when the ship docked at the dock, Li Chao found that Shangluo was also average.

The commercial atmosphere looks quite strong, but the city is not big.

Upper Los Angeles is on the north shore of Danshui, and there is a long pier, and the city is just behind the pier.

The square city is not large, but there is a market along the wharf outside the city, and there are shops on both sides of the street, although it is relatively simple, but this pattern of a market outside the city is rare.

Niu Jianhu had already led the cavalry squad to Shangluo and notified the local officials.

By the time Li Chao's boats docked, the escort troops had already arrived.

Officials from Shangluo came to greet them with local magnates and merchants.

Li Chao's name is very famous, he is the prime minister of the dynasty, the first celebrity in front of the emperor, not to mention the prince this time.

Li Chengqian came out with Li Chao this time, and Li Shimin also gave him a name, called to inspect Shannan and Xinjing.

The crown prince has a guard of honor, even if it is only a seven-year-old child, but he is still the prince of the Tang Dynasty.

A group of guards from the Beiya Forbidden Army sent by Li Shimin changed into the bright light armor of Sao Bao, and the tassels on the helmets were red and bright.

After entering Shangluo City, Li Chao talked with the assassin history and county orders of Shangzhou, but in fact, there was not much to talk about.

Li Chao assigned three tasks to Shangzhou.

First, immediately send personnel to check all the granaries in Shangzhou, including the official warehouses and the community warehouses, grasp the detailed grain storage situation, and send people to take over the guards.

Second, in accordance with the imperial court's edict, it is necessary to immediately buy grain from local landlords and grain merchants, and strictly enforce the standards of the imperial court.

The third is for the Shangzhou government to announce to the people in all parts of the state that they will hunt, fish, and dry vegetables.

The government is open to purchasing these, and the people can use these to offset labor and so on, and can also exchange copper coins and silk silks.

Li Chao's three orders made Shangzhou Assassin secretly surprised.

The first two were expected, and there was already a notice from above.

But this third article is a bit too exaggerated.

There is a drought this autumn, but there is a bumper harvest in the summer, and the people will not run out of food.

"Whatever you can eat, take it.

It doesn't matter if I'm flying in the sky, swimming on the ground, or crawling in the water.

You are the rat and the locust, and you will reap it in the same way.

After collecting it, store it.

I also give you a task, from now on, not a single grain of grain produced in Shangzhou will be allowed to go out of the state border.

Grain transiting outside the state must be strictly inspected, and from now on, it is forbidden to use grain to make wine, not a drop is allowed, and those who dare to violate the order will be severely punished."

In fact, Li Chao not only wants to prohibit the outflow of local grain from Shangzhou, but the entire Central Plains will promulgate and implement this strict order.

First of all, the outflow of dead local grain was restricted, and then the amount of grain reserves in the local official and non-governmental granaries was controlled in detail, and then grain was purchased from the local governments, and after grasping the detailed situation of the grain in various places, the imperial court would mobilize forces to transfer grain from other places and set up transshipment granaries at important land and water wharves to reserve grain.

It is also necessary to increase the amount of grain to all prefectures and counties according to the amount of grain shortage, and make reserves. t1706231537:
