Chapter 519 Tell a story about food stamps (24)

As for the lack of food in the north—why not eat minced meat?

If you don’t have enough food, you just eat meat. Where does the meat come from? Raise chickens, ducks, and sheep!
Afterwards, Xi Tong checked the production situation in different parts of Tongmenghui.

The North American Tongmeng Association is scattered in more than a dozen locations, and each stronghold has opened up fertile fields ranging from 5 mu to as many as 10 mu for growing corn, soybeans, and wheat.

They planted the seeds of crops improved by Xitong, whose vitality is more tenacious than weeds. If weeds grow next to the crops, they will never get any water and fertilizer, and eventually grow slowly, and then they are robbed of light and have to wither to death.

These crops can be called abnormal in terms of environmental adaptation, reaching the level of species invasion. Coupled with multi-functional agricultural vehicles, the food production stunned the Indians and the white colonists.

Now, the only thing limiting the development of the North American Moe Club is time.

The development time is too short, too little fertile land has been reclaimed, and there is not much grain sown. What's more, even if the multi-purpose agricultural vehicles work 24 hours a day, the cultivated area is very limited, and they need more vehicles.

The North American Tongmeng Club sold all the harvested grain to the system. After exchanging for game coins, they bought more multi-functional agricultural vehicles and opened up more farmland in order to harvest more grain and earn more game coins like snowballing .

Similar to Nanyang Tongmenghui.

The rice here is ripened three times a year or even four times a year, and the yield per mu is nearly 2000 catties—this yield frightened the local Huaxia Miao people. You must know that in the past, one mu of rice was at most 300 catties to 400 catties. The best The harvest will never exceed 500 jin.

After making the comparison, the Nanyang people immediately understood that in terms of farming in the future, they were no match for Xianjia, and the food price here would definitely drop to the point where it was as cheap as sand.

What's more, the Xian family has been opening up new farmland, and there are more and more Xian family iron cattle that can farm, and the next season's harvest will definitely double several times.

The Australian Tongmeng Club and the South American Tongmeng Club are similar.

These two places are rich in minerals, especially the coal and iron mines in Australia and the copper mines in Chile, both of which are rich open-pit mines. Therefore, Tongmeng Club in these two places will focus on purchasing multi-functional mining vehicles and metal refineries when developing.

But even so, they sold nearly 10 tons of grain to the system.

After looking at the more than 300 million tons of grain he had in stock, Xi Tong felt that those hoarding grain merchants in the Qing Empire were about to cry.

Xi Tong knows that many famines in history were not caused by natural disasters. Even if there were natural disasters, they were only a very small part, or even negligible.

Just like the saying "Huguang is cooked, the world is full", the food in one region can supply the food of the whole world. With the vast territory of the Qing Empire, one side was in trouble and all sides supported it. How could it lead to the tragedy of starving and dying everywhere.

Man-made disasters are the main reason.

Ninety percent of the money and food for disaster relief were gone before they were delivered to the disaster area, or even nothing left.

Even if the money reaches the disaster area and the price of food soars ten or even a hundred times, the money that used to buy ten catties of grain can't even buy a piece of steamed bread now.

What's more ruthless is that the grain merchants hoarded and refused to sell no matter how much money they gave, until they forced people into desperation, exchanged houses and land for grain, and easily plundered the money accumulated by others for generations.

Nine out of ten wealthy households like "Li Bancun" and "Huang Bancheng" saved their wealth through this method.

Ordinary people burn incense and pray to Buddha to pray for good weather and good harvests. Those grain merchants are just the opposite. They have no profit in good years, and they are profitable in bad years.

The more severe the disaster, the greater their profits, so they do not hesitate to create disasters.

In the year of the catastrophe, the peasants revolted, and the refugees attacked the rich families to rob them of food—no need to show mercy, each of these landlord families counted as one, and none of them was really good.

Xi Tong didn't do anything wrong, and asked Ye Yiruo to issue an oracle in the name of the Holy See, the content of which was roughly to advise grain merchants all over the world to sell grain at a fair price, so as to accumulate merit and avoid karmic retribution.

Some grain merchants have already believed in the main god of the system, so they obeyed the Holy See.

After all, the Pope has said that selling grain at a low price is a matter of accumulating merit, and hoarding will result in retribution.Although money is important, what is the use of earning more money if you offend the gods.

But those are only small grain merchants, and more big grain merchants still go their own way, and even send people to secretly buy grain from small grain merchants.

Charity does not control soldiers, righteousness does not control wealth, and those who hoard and hoard have already fed their conscience to dogs.

These big grain merchants even ridiculed: Isn't the Holy See a god, let them produce grain.

At the same time, these large grain merchants have strengthened the guards of their granaries, arranged for people to patrol day and night, and even asked monks and Taoists to draw ghost-exorcism talismans to paste on the granaries, so as not to be hit by the five ghosts.

Xi Tong has been paying attention to the disaster situation in the northern provinces.

The Yellow River Basin has always been severely flooded. The Yellow River flooded every now and then, and farmers had no harvest. This is also an area that grain merchants focus on.

This year the Yellow River Basin is still doing well, and God didn't make a fuss. However, this year's food shortage is faster, more intense, and more unexpected than in previous catastrophic years.

The farmers still had a little harvest, and it would not be a problem until the end of the year. Those residents in the town who bought rice and noodles every day were the first to run out of cooking.

As soon as the grain from outside was brought in, it was eaten by the big grain merchants. If the big grain merchants did not produce the grain, the small grain merchants below had no goods to sell, and they had to close their doors one by one.

The grain store was closed, and the price of other food immediately jumped.

People who do odd jobs, work hard, and work hard all day, but find that the money they earn can’t even buy a small handful of vegetables. Looking at the children who are waiting to be fed and the mothers who are crying, men’s eyes are full of thick haze. .

They already had a bad premonition, and the older people immediately remembered the experience of the last disaster.

Caring for grain and vegetables has become something that urban residents must do every day. The emperor issued an imperial decree prohibiting hoarding, ordered grain merchants to open warehouses to sell grain, and ordered officials from all over the country to strictly investigate and kill those who hoarded grain without mercy.

However, it was useless, and the big grain merchants dismissed the emperor's imperial decree.

The Holy See also issued an oracle, three in a row in a month, but it was more useful than the imperial decree. At least some grain merchants with not bad consciences found their way back.

However, a drop in the bucket.

The grain flowing into the market is like water splashed in the desert, and it disappears in a blink of an eye.

Wealthy people are okay. There are old hens that lay eggs and fat pigs that are kept for the New Year. They can survive after being killed. Those who are poor can only eat grass roots and bark. After eating, they can only eat Avalokitesvara soil up.

This is the dream scenario of big grain merchants.

At this point, death is inevitable, and there will be many, many deaths. Under the threat of death, those who are alive will want to know whether money and land are more important than food.

However, at this time, the Holy See issued another oracle—Xianjia began to sell something called food stamps, which can be purchased in temples and Amway in various places.
