Chapter 906: Food upgrade

April 13th.
This is a bright and beautiful day in spring. The weather in Lin'an City has warmed up this season and the environment is comfortable and pleasant.
After the news of the full southern expedition was delivered, Lu Fei and Luo Xin led the troops today. Their goal is to smooth the merchant council in the shortest possible time.
According to the plan, after clearing the city on the offensive route, they will start a decisive battle with the merchant council around Fuzhou, Guangzhou, Nanchang, and Dali.
After all, these four cities are currently the most important cities for the merchant council. Once these big cities are captured, the merchant council will have no place to stay.
On April 21st, Lu Fei’s Tiger Ben First Army first arrived in Shaoxing, and Luo Xin arrived in Huizhou on April 25th, and the all-out war against the merchant council officially started...
Qingzhou.
Xiao Ming outlined two offensive lines on the map of Dayu State, which is exactly the direction of Lu Fei and Luo Xin's offensive now.
Niu Ben's decision was not made on a whim, but after close discussions with him.
For him, the merchant council at this time was just a puffy person. The reason was simple. Cao Kun did not have a solid industrial foundation, which meant he could not continue to provide weapons and ammunition for his soldiers. Second, he did not have mature taxes. With regard to the tax system, the Blue Dragon King’s failure to accept food promises will only aggravate this financial crisis. Third, the merchant council seems to have gathered a large number of soldiers in a short time, but these soldiers lack training and are just a mob.
Therefore, in the face of such a merchant council, they must not have a chance to breathe for a moment, so they will soon disintegrate by themselves.
"I don't know what the rich family would feel when they knew that the court would distribute their land to the people and sell it." Pang Yukun stood behind Xiao Ming.
After the Yangtze River Trade Zone was finalized, it quickly aroused widespread discussion in Qingzhou, and many businessmen had already moved to Songjiang, Lin'an, and Suzhou to build factories.
Many merchants consulted and purchased the houses, manors, and shops listed by the court, and everything was proceeding according to his plan.
"It must be heartbroken. When they realize that they will never get their things back, the merchant council will have a problem." Xiao Ming smiled, confident and firm.
Pang Yukun nodded, "As the so-called misfortune lies, the merchant council is a great trouble, but it gives us a reason to completely eliminate the wealthy families in the south. In this way, the reform will be more thorough in the south."
"That's right, that's why I wanted to establish the Yangtze River Commercial District. After I occupy Guangzhou, I will also establish the Guangzhou Commercial District, so that the industry and commerce of the country can continue from north to south." Xiao Ming looked at the map, a large The blueprint for Yu Guo's future emerged in his mind.
He has been longing for the unification of this country for too long, and now he finally sees hope that the Great Yu Country after unification will exert greater vitality under his leadership and rank among the world's forests.
Pang Yukun's eyes were slightly hot. He recalled all the things in the past nine years. After this year, he has followed Xiao Ming for ten years.
In the past ten years, Qingzhou's industry and commerce have grown from nothing to strength, and the Kingdom of Da Yu has also become increasingly strong and vigorous in the hands of this emperor.
Now he is very fortunate that he has followed the right person. It is because of his identity as Xiao Ming that he can witness the day of the reunification of the Great Yu Kingdom. In the future, he will also accompany Xiao Ming to witness the Great Yu Kingdom's move to the top of the world.
Xiao Ming's eyes were always on the map. He didn't notice Pang Yukun's look, but continued to ask: "By the way, how is the population migration during this period of time?"
Mentioned that Pang Yukun’s spirit was concentrated. When he was going south, he had promised to migrate five million people to Kanto. "So far, Xiaguan has migrated 700,000 people from Chu, and the entire south is down. Five million should not be. difficult."
"Seven hundred thousand? Well, it's already pretty good." Xiao Ming expressed satisfaction.
In fact, he is now very worried about the situation in Kanto. Although he has left Qi Guangyi in Kanto, Qi Guangyi is sometimes weak in the face of the sparsely populated Kanto.
From time to time, the barbarian cavalry would bypass the city and attack the people of Kanto, robbing them of their harvest. After one million slaves were transformed into Kantos, they were very weak on such a large land.
Because of this, he had to emigrate five million people. In this way, six cities divided a million people, and he could organize an effective militia team to raid the barbarians.
And he has already begun to consider giving some of the eliminated weapons to the militia and guards so that they can exert greater strength.
In addition, the immigrant population is also for the industrial construction of the Kanto region. Without a sufficient population, it is difficult to develop industries in this era, and Kanto region is a land of agriculture and resources.
"It's all because of this war, otherwise these people would not be willing to migrate. Now many people who migrate call this Chuangguandong." Pang Yukun laughed.
Xiao Ming nodded slightly. Although he created this war, it is inevitable. Sometimes it is inevitable to sacrifice the interests of some people for the victory of the national strategic level~EbookFREE.me~, although this It's cruel, but the court can only do it hard.
Because compared to this, a country and a nation are more important to survive in the world. Otherwise, if you lose Kanto, more people will suffer.
"It's a good word, let's add this word to the secret guard's propaganda when you break through the Guandong." Xiao Ming said lightly.
Looking away from the map, Xiao Ming continued: "The soldiers in the south are fighting battles. The only thing we can do now is to provide them with high-quality weapons, ammunition and food. Pang Shoufu, how is this military can now?"
"Going back to the emperor, except for the first batch of glass cans, all we send to the south are iron cans. In order to strengthen the army's logistical supply capabilities, the Qingzhou government has now built six military food factories. The official also gave them the food formula provided by the emperor."
Xiao Ming is relieved now. For him, long-term quality military food is very important, because it can not only reduce the logistics pressure of soldiers, but also a necessary condition for the fleet expedition.
In modern times, the West can colonize Asia not far away. In addition to warships, this canned food also plays an important role.
In addition to the canning, Xiao Ming also gave the process of compressing biscuits to the military food factory. In fact, the process of biscuits and compressed biscuits is very simple. The biscuits are nothing more than sugar, flour, and eggs.
Compressed biscuits are just crushing the biscuits and compressing them again to become more compact cakes.
In addition to compressed biscuits, instant noodles are followed by compressed biscuits. This kind of military food can also be easily realized at present. After all, simple instant noodles are just cooked noodles and then fried.
Xiao Ming didn't seek to achieve modern results, as long as the soldiers were able to report their stomachs on the battlefield, it was enough.
