A typhoon caused heavy losses to Penghu Island. 60% to 70% of the crops in the fields were destroyed. Many of the millet had just been planted. This second-season rice was an improved variety introduced from South Vietnam. After one more season, the yield can be one-third higher. two.
Don't look at the two-thirds, the court doesn't care how many seasons you plant rice. If you have the ability to plant ten seasons, you will still pay the same grain tax, and the rest is yours!
The local climate conditions in Penghu are perfectly suitable for growing South Vietnam's second-crop rice. Su Wei also wants to increase the harvest of farmland and allow more grain to be stored in the warehouse.
In the three years since I have been on the island, I have not encountered such a big typhoon. If the island was not built with good materials, this typhoon could turn the entire island into ruins.
This year's crop has been harvested.
Liang Chuan took a group of Liang Jiajun's men and turned into rescue team members at the critical moment. They patrolled the entire Penghu Island and finally found no particularly dangerous situation.
Su Wei was asking Wu Yong to take stock of the losses everywhere.
The wind is still howling and the rain is still pouring.
When the typhoon reaches its maximum power at dawn, people who have lived inland for a long time can see the power of sea waves.
Wind disaster, this is the disaster caused by the wind!
Wu Yong took stock of the casualties and property damage on the island, and recruited his younger brother to follow him and help him.
The apprentices in the ironmaking workshop stopped their work these days and devoted themselves to the rescue.
Eleven people died, eight were missing, more than 300 houses were lost, and nearly 10,000 acres of farmland were damaged.
Looking at such shocking data, Liang Chuan and Su Wei fell into deep thought at the same time.
The buildings on the island are still not strong enough. Home, home, home cannot be protected. When something happens, you have to abandon your home and everything and hide somewhere else. How can such a place be called home?
Liang Chuan looked at such a tragic scene and fell deeply into thought.
The level of infrastructure is still not enough. If a typhoon like this happens every year, they will lose countless properties. No matter how rich their family is, they cannot withstand such a torment!
Thatched huts and mud huts are still not strong enough. The best thing is a stone house!
No, no, Liang Chuan has been thinking about an advanced building material, cement!
It’s just that I don’t have the energy to operate it now, and I can’t produce such good materials!
There are more important things to do now!
Liang Chuan led people to rescue to ensure the safety of his rear area. The wind had passed its strongest moment and slowly began to weaken. What could be destroyed had been almost destroyed, and the rest was slowly rebuilt.
His vitality was damaged, but he was not seriously injured.
Finally, we can rest assured that the war is about to begin. The front is tight and there must be no problems in the rear.
Wu Yong summoned all the doctors from the Black Cross Society, and the two miracle doctors An and Huang also came to the scene in person to treat the people injured in the typhoon and the soldiers of the Liang family. Without their timely treatment, the number of casualties would have been much higher.
Liang Chuan had made the people on the island fully prepared two days ago, and with such a result, if he was not prepared, the losses would be even more unimaginable.
Everyone retreated to their respective camps to rest. The time was only half a day, and there would be an important mission in half a day!
Everyone knows that this moment has come!
Raise an army for a thousand days, use it for a moment, now!
After noon, the wind dropped by half, and the wind was only blowing on the face. There was no longer the astonishing sense of ability last night. A large number of troops gathered in front of the council hall. The wind dropped, but the rain did not decrease.
The rallying horn sounded. The Tianxiong Army formed the management brigade, the Shenying camp, the Japanese, and the Black Cross Society all gathered together. The rain kept falling from the sky, and the atmosphere seemed a bit depressing.
The clouds of war began to gather.
Many years have passed since the last time this unit was dispatched in an orderly manner. The opponents that time were the most powerful enemies on the northwest grasslands, the party members.
Liang Chuan used a surprise attack to deceive Li Yuanhao and successfully seize his first citizenship. However, if they fight head-on, Liang Chuan has no chance of winning, let alone the capital to compete. After all, the opponent is a country, and Liang Chuan is just a surprise soldier. , a small force that relies on its younger brothers to smuggle food and steal coal and iron to make its own weapons, Liang Chuan will undoubtedly lose in a protracted war.
The next battle is a battle planned by Su Wei and Liang Chuan for many years!
'Count the troops and send troops to Yizhou! '
The troops of the Liang Jiajun gathered in the open space and started fighting during the typhoon. Although they did not understand Liang Chuan's intentions, they would execute it without compromise!
Su Wei held a bamboo umbrella in his hand and burst into tears.
The journey along the way was so difficult. He thought that his life would be left to Huang Sha, but he never thought that he would stay in the sea to feed the fish.
If you can defeat Yizhou, you will continue to survive. If you cannot defeat it, you may really have to feed the fish.
If they fail, no one on the island will survive. They have no choice!
The typhoon did not wipe out the momentum of the Liang Jiajun. On the contrary, the typhoon made the Liang Jiajun unprecedentedly united. With Liang Chuan here, the island will be safe and everyone can live and work in peace and contentment. This is the source of their confidence.
Now the island is almost full of Liang Jiajun's family members. The dead people have no choice but to say that they were unlucky, but those who were rescued will all remember Liang Chuan's good deeds!
Liang Chuan is about to start his mobilization!
In the rain, everyone was naked and had two skin bags on their backs, one to hold water, one to assist when swimming, and a waist knife. With such equipment, they were going to duel with the enemy. The scene was extremely solemn.
'Yizhou has been an inseparable part of China since ancient times. '
As soon as Liang Chuan opened his mouth, his first words shocked everyone. Su Wei and Wu Yong on the side were even more stunned.
Where is this place? Yizhou. The word "Yi" shows that this place cannot be barbarized. The Song Dynasty looked down upon it. The Tang Dynasty looked down upon it even more before. The Tang Dynasty pushed forward and even less looked upon it! How can we say it is an integral part of China?
They are not Liang Chuan, they do not have a subconscious territorial awareness in their bones, and naturally they do not have Liang Chuan's national sentiment!
'There are thousands of fertile fields there. A handful of soil can produce oil. If you plant a seed, you can harvest ten thousand kilograms of grain in the coming year! '
Liang Chuan began to paint a pie for his subordinates!
'You may feel that this is the best life in the world now in Penghu, but let me tell you, no, there is no government or oppression in Yizhou, and there is plenty of land for you to cultivate at will! '
'Some of you are from the island country, some are from the northwest, and there are also Kuhaha in Xinghua. Which one of you has not been able to get along with the land since childhood, and you are from a poor background who fought hard for a three-quarter acre of land! '
'As long as we take Yizhou, it will never be like this again. You will never be able to plant all the land, and you will never be able to eat all the food. As long as you are willing to work, you will still have your children and grandchildren there, and you will never have to worry about your stomach. And worry! '
The rain blurred everyone's vision, but it did not affect their hearing. Liang Chuan's words made them a little excited.
Why did you come here thousands of miles away? Not just for a full meal!
Why are life so miserable in Xinghua? It's because they still have no land to cultivate. All Xinghua gave them is mountainous land. The land on the mountains cannot hold water, and the land is extremely thin. After all their efforts, they can't even make it for a year. I can't even get a few kilograms of grain out.
When we arrived in Penghu, life was much better. Although it was an island, compared to the Liang Jiajun, who had more than 10,000 people, this large area of land was still very generous. The Liang Jiajun people finally experienced what it meant to have no worries about food and clothing. On the island They can't finish planting all the land!
But this typhoon also made them see clearly that although the island is good, it is not a place to stay for a long time. In the face of disaster, they will have no way to escape!
If they had a choice, they still longed for a place like the Central Plains, which was a treasure land for the reproduction of future generations!
The mentality of the Han family is that their own generation can endure all kinds of hardships and live like an ox or a horse, but they always hope that the next generation can change their destiny against the will of nature and help them eat all the hardships of their descendants so that their descendants can enjoy the same benefits. Enjoy.
Liang Chuan's words are very tempting.
"The land in Yizhou is enough to feed ten thousand times the people of Penghu. In other words, if your descendants are ten thousand times more, they will still be able to survive. But we don't allow it here. Tens of thousands more people will have enough to eat." It will all become a problem! '
'I, Liangchuan, also promise you here that if Yizhou is taken over, the land will be distributed to all of you. As long as you don't pay the tax rate set by the Song Dynasty, it will be fine. The Song Dynasty will pay 10%, and I, Liangchuan, will only charge you 30%. A lot, it will last forever! '
What!
When several people heard what Liang Chuan said, their expressions immediately changed!
The people of the Liang family are going crazy. The 30% tax from the imperial court is different from giving it away for free. Moreover, now they can also grow double-cropping rice. Can save two years of food!
Living a lifetime is not just for a few rations, but no one who can survive will rebel!
Penghu is enough for them, but everyone is also worried. If such a big typhoon comes every year, coupled with the floods in summer, wouldn't it mean that they will be hungry for half a year? .
Su Wei and Liang Chuan had already painted a picture of the situation in Yizhou!
There are countless fertile lands there that are not cultivated by humans, and there are countless wild animals that can be hunted. As long as you are not too lazy, even if you fool around a few times, you can receive a lot of food a year! It does not belong to the Song Dynasty, and there are not many people there. There is not as many people as Qingyuan County in the entire Yizhou! But the area of Yizhou is almost the same as the entire Fujian Road!
This is heaven on earth!
They know the boss's character very well. Not to mention benevolent and righteous, he is simply compassionate. He pities them and manages things well without collecting taxes. How much money does he spend on them every year? How many years does it take for such land to be cultivated? Liang Chuan has countless advantages. The biggest advantage is that he does what he says. If he says 30% of the time, no one will have any doubts!
You must remember that these mountain people helped the Liang family transport money away years ago. They agreed to give 30% of the money to be transported away, and they actually shared 30%, and they did not break their promise at all!
