What is the concept of 3,500 tons of grain?
According to the guaranteed supply of twenty kilograms of food per month for a hungry person in the settlement, the Longshan settlement, counting its full population of 10,000 people, can only consume 2,400 tons of food a year.
The fruits of Liangshu No. 1 are very satiating. These harvested fruits can be eaten raw. They taste sweet and delicious. They taste similar to sweet potatoes and have a huge amount of starch and sugar.
If it is mashed and boiled into a thick porridge, the expanded food will become very large. A small bowl can keep an adult from being hungry for several hours.
Song Ziyu even grilled Liangshu fruits over high heat. The roasted fruits had a fragrant potato flavor, which was also unique.
After tasting the great food, Song Ziyu was in a great mood.
I witnessed a miracle myself!
Chen Lao's research results are really incredible.
Looking at the crowds celebrating the harvest, Song Ziyu even had a better vision for the future.
Of course, this is not all the food harvest in the settlement. The hundreds of acres of land planted by the hungry people themselves have also harvested, and a large amount of food has appeared in the hands of the hungry people.
Song Ziyu could even announce loudly that from today on, famine is completely away from the Longshan settlement.
…
Song Ziyu gathered all the grain that belonged to him, and then allocated 30% of the grain that belonged to Zhao Yuanba to him, and the remaining grain was compensated to those who participated in the planting as promised.
In the end, there were about 1,500 tons of grain left, and Song Ziyu was ready to sell it for money.
After three months of hard work, I finally saw the harvest.
At the same time, the new phase of the reclamation plan was imminent. Song Ziyu felt angry just thinking about it. If the Northern Chamber of Commerce hadn't made trouble, his career would have been launched.
Now, in order to prepare for the coming war, matters of trade and reclamation need to be put on hold.
…
The current settlement can almost be said to be in a state of full preparation for war!
With the help of the food supply, the number of warriors under the three giants has expanded to nearly 500, plus 1,500 hungry people recruited as servants.
The armed force has expanded to 2,000 people!
These people practice enthusiastically outside the settlement every day, and the scene is quite grand.
At this very tense juncture, an uninvited guest came to the Ma family.
On a dark and windy night, the Ma family's old house.
One person was sitting leisurely where Mr. Ma usually sat, looking at Ma Senming with an air of dignity.
"Are you Ma Senming?" the visitor asked calmly.
Ma Senming looked at the man who suddenly appeared in his home and looked very unhappy.
During this special period, Ma Senming has strengthened the security of his family and specially arranged for people to patrol inside and outside Ma's house to prevent accidents.
But now it seems something unexpected happened!
"I am Ma Senming, who are you?"
While Ma Senming was speaking, several children of the Ma family had quietly arrived at the inner house and formed a siege on the man!
This guy is not simple!
Currently, there are people from the city defense team on guard in the outer city of Longshan, and there are also defenses in the inner layer. The old house has also sent additional manpower... Even with such a defensive posture, this person can still appear in front of him.
Ma Senming couldn't help but feel deeply frightened.
"Don't be nervous, I have no ill intentions... If I had any ill intentions, you would all be dead."
The visitor was so arrogant that he suddenly held a short knife at his waist and stopped a Ma family member who was about to attack him.
The whole movement was as fast as lightning, and even though the Ma family disciple who was preparing for a sneak attack was on guard, he was still captured without any suspense.
Seeing this scene, Ma Senming's eyes jumped!
Being able to sneak into one's own home without anyone noticing, and arresting people like picking things up from a bag, it seems that what the other party said is true.
"Who are you?" Ma Senming asked.
"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is who I am here for." The mysterious man said calmly.
Ma Senming didn't speak, just looked at the mysterious man calmly, waiting for the mysterious man's next words.
"I am a lobbyist sent by the Wasteland Chamber of Commerce!"
The mysterious man knocked out the Ma family kid he caught with one punch, and then trampled him under his feet.
"Wasteland Chamber of Commerce!" Ma Sen secretly said that it was indeed the case.
"What do you have to say?" Ma Senming asked.
The mysterious man smiled and said: "I came here this time under the entrustment of Mr. Kong, the president of the Wasteland Chamber of Commerce, to give you a way to survive!"
"Oh? I wonder what Kong Youfang wants to say?" Ma Senming asked.
The mysterious man said: "You old guy is really ungrateful. Can you call President Kong by his first name?"
Hearing this, Ma Senming snorted and said, "If you fart, hurry up!"
The mysterious man said hehe, "President Kong asked me to tell you that if you agree to three conditions, the Wasteland Chamber of Commerce will consider allowing your Ma family to continue to exist in Longshan."
"President Kong is so angry! Tell me, what are the conditions?" Ma Senming asked coldly.
The mysterious man said calmly: "First, you, the Ma family, hand over the jurisdiction over the Longshan settlement."
"Then what?" Ma Senming asked.
"Second, you must swear allegiance to the Wasteland Chamber of Commerce from generation to generation and obey the orders of the Wasteland Chamber of Commerce." The mysterious man added.
Ma Senming sneered when he heard this: "What about the third condition?"
The mysterious man added: "The third condition is, of course, to hand over the guy named Song Ziyu and the supply channels of your Longshan settlement."
"No more?" Ma Senming asked.
"No more. As long as you agree to these three items, the Wasteland Chamber of Commerce will consider letting your Ma family go so that your lineage can continue." The mysterious man said.
Ma Senming took a deep breath, looked at the mysterious man and said word by word: "Then let me trouble you."
"What's going on?" the mysterious man asked.
"Get away as far as you can from me!" Ma Senming roared.
The mysterious man was stunned and seemed puzzled by Ma Senming's reaction.
"Go back and tell Kong Youfang that Longshan is here. If you have the ability, come and get it yourself! Don't send people to insult me. Next time you send an envoy, I will kill every one I see!" Ma Senming said coldly.
After saying that, Ma Senming said loudly: "See off the guests!"
As a result, the mysterious man left the Longshan settlement under the escort of many soldiers of the Ma family.
Looking at the "lobbyist" leaving, Ma Sen's face was as cold as frost.
The Wasteland Chamber of Commerce is really going too far, they even dare to put forward such conditions!
This is completely disrespecting the Ma family!
Ma Senming couldn't help snorting, did the Wasteland Chamber of Commerce really regard him as a soft persimmon?
If you want to fight, fight, whoever is afraid of whom!
Why send someone to humiliate yourself?
This is really unreasonable!
Ma Senming was very angry.
I thought that such an expulsion would have some effect, but the matter was not over yet.
Less than a day later, another person came outside the settlement, arrogantly claiming to be the envoy sent by the Wasteland Chamber of Commerce...
Ma Senming was furious, and there must be limits to humiliating people!
There is a price to pay for your tireless humiliation!
Ma Senming directly ordered Zhang Dahu to chop off the envoy's head in front of the entire settlement.
Song Ziyu couldn't help but frown when he saw this scene while standing on the city wall.
It is said that if the two armies are fighting without killing the envoy, Ma Senming is breaking a taboo.
However, Song Ziyu did not show dissatisfaction. After all, the current war was imminent. The other party was mainly coming for him. If there were no people like him in the Longshan settlement, they probably would not have mobilized troops to come, and the Wasteland Chamber of Commerce probably would not either. Notice this place...
Ma Senming's reaction made him feel at ease.
Killing the messenger of the Wasteland Chamber of Commerce has put an end to the idea of surrender. This is good, at least it won't make people's hearts fluctuate so much.
But Song Ziyu didn't know...there was something fishy about this.
