"Send the order, Anshi City, Liaodong City, Baiyan City, and Momi City check the nearby river section for signs of ice. After checking, report immediately without any mistakes."
Following a military order, a large number of scouts were immediately dispatched from the four cities in Liaodong and began to investigate.
You must understand foreign operations, climate, humanities, environment, and even some local things. Otherwise, it would be fun to find that the Juli River is frozen and the boat cannot sail.
Yang Gan's warship is powerful, but it has not yet reached the level of an icebreaker.
The huge convoy began to slowly leave the royal city, where 65,000 soldiers were stationed.
Except for the 30,000 troops who suppressed Hao Qian, Yang Gan left with only 5,000 troops.
The fleet has almost never stopped since it was galloping on the sea, constantly sending slaves to Wanghai County in an endless stream.
A large amount of materials began to be sent out from Yuntong County in large quantities, and were shipped in Wanghai County to Anshi and Wangcheng.
What is gratifying is that the logistical pressure has begun to be released. As more and more cities are occupied, more and more scholar-bureaucrat families are killed.
To put it bluntly, Yang Qian's current supply of food and grass is not only not much less, but more and more. Until now, there is no shortage of food and grass at all.
What is lacking are canned fruits and meat.
There is no shortage of meat. After Yuntong County exterminated the three major tribes, there were so many cattle, sheep and horses, and the people were encouraged to breed pigs. There was no shortage of meat and iron ore.
What is lacking are fruits and vegetables. To put it bluntly, the canned fruits are almost at their limit and may be used up before spring.
But it doesn't matter. These things are not necessities. Soldiers can eat them if they have them. If they don't, there's nothing we can do about it. To be honest, the current level of military rations is comparable to that of World War I and World War II.
In some aspects, it is not worse than some countries that fought in World War I and World War II, but there is a faint tendency to surpass it.
The only shortcoming is that they are still at a disadvantage in terms of variety. Take Germany during World War II as an example.
A portion of military ration contains: 200g rye bread
10g white sugar.
25g sugar cubes.
20g coffee or 20g fresh cream or tea.
15g chocolate.
3 to 5 cigarettes.
The border army's military rations have not been able to achieve this step so far. It has to be said that there is still a long way to go to make breakthroughs in military rations. A large number of varieties of grains are needed as a basis to continuously introduce new ones.
Therefore, Yang Xuan is also considering planting more fruit trees next year, and if there is enough food, let some people with good wealth go to orchards and the like.
Even if it can't be sold, it doesn't matter if it's spoiled. The county magistrate's office directly collects the fruits and makes them into canned fruits.
Canned fruits can not only provide for the army, but can also be sold in the world, which can also solve the problem of not being able to be stored for a long time.
After Yang Qian came to his flagship, he began to calculate his provisions, and finally he came up with what he just thought about.
However, what Yang Qian is most interested in now is cigarettes. The current production of these products is not very large. Of course, there is no problem in providing them to the top brass of the military.
Planting and maturing actually don't take much time, and some are purchased from the people, which can already form an industrial chain.
But such output did not allow Yang Qian to launch cigarettes on the market.
The reason is very simple. If today was the background of the Tang and Song Dynasties, and Yang Qian had his current status, he would directly launch cigarettes.
But what is the background now? During the Warring States Period, even though people in Yuntong County were not very short of food, Xia Kingdom was still in short supply.
It is completely impossible for any of the vassal states of Shang, Liao and Xing to say that they have too much food to eat.
Maybe I have saved some food this year, which can support a war. If any natural disaster occurs, I can return to before liberation.
All countries are not stupid. Hoarding food and grass is nothing more than fighting wars and as a guarantee of the ability to resist risks.
Yang Qian's idea is simple. Tobacco must be grown in large quantities. Although the current soldiers do not have any mental problems, the absence of problems does not mean that there will be no problems in the future.
These are not peaceful times, but troubled times, and war is inevitable.
"Huh?"
"Yang Gan, why did you increase the amount of tobacco grown a hundred times? Are you crazy?"
When Zhang Yumeng walked in and saw what Yang Gan had written, he was immediately confused.
He won't be possessed by ghosts anymore. He used to look like Erha when he saw food and grass, howling and screaming, how can he change his condition today?
Yang Gan curled his lips and said, "I can forgive you if you don't have knowledge. It's your fault if you don't have common sense."
"Now that we are not short of food and grass, cigarettes are very important. Besides, there is no nicotine, it is purely natural."
"You have so many lies, why do you want to sell them to the world? Collect taxes?"
Yang Gan shook his head and said, "On the battlefield, soldiers must keep their nerves tight at all times and not relax even a little bit. It's okay to fight with the wind, but what if it's against the wind."
"The noisy and chaotic battlefield also makes people upset, and they will inevitably feel sad and depressed when their companions leave. Cigarettes can relax the soldiers and have an anti-fatigue effect. Not only that, Soldiers are inevitably injured on the battlefield, and cigarettes can also relieve pain."
Yang Gan smiled.
"With the outbreak of the First World War, almost all European soldiers participating in the war were supplied with tobacco. The soldiers' demand for tobacco continued to increase, which also promoted the development of the tobacco industry; in the Second World War, cigarettes became a crucial strategic materials."
Zhang Yumeng was surprised and said, "You mean, cigarettes are just military supplies and are not circulated in the world?"
Yang Gan nodded.
"Yes, we have enough arable land now, and there will be more in the future, so it's not a big problem to grow some tobacco."
Zhang Yumeng nodded. Unexpectedly, this kid had a lot of ideas, and cold knowledge kept popping up.
With a vibration, after the last load of supplies was loaded onto the ship, the warship slowly started to move.
At the door of the cabin, a big felt hat was exposed.
Yang Gan raised his eyebrows and said, "Master?"
When the visitor looked up, it was indeed Cao Wushuang who walked in.
Cao Wushuang, who had always been calm, felt a little depressed at this time and kept wiping his hands with linen cloth.
"Yang Qian, are you disgusted? Hundreds of corpses are still hanging at the gate of the royal city, and you don't want to think of a solution?"
Yang Gan said with a confused face, "Now that we're gone, what else can we deal with? Besides, don't you know everything about the Ji family? There are only a few hundred corpses."
Cao Wushuang looked at his hands, his face looking very ugly.
"When I was leaving the city, I put my hand outside and unexpectedly one foot fell off."
"Fortunately, it's freezing cold. What if it was summer? If my hands were covered with corpse water, I wouldn't even have my hands."
Everyone........
The corners of Yang Qian's mouth twitched fiercely, no one else was lucky.
"Actually, you are really afraid of killing all these Goguryeo scholar-bureaucrats. Wouldn't that be fine? Then support a group of our own people. Wouldn't that be just right?"
Zhang Yumeng's face was full of determination, and her eyes were full of wisdom. Over the years, she had learned a lot and started to look at problems according to Yang Gan's channel.
Yang Gan looked helpless, pointed at Cao Wushuang and said.
"Master, come and tell Zhang Yumeng why I don't kill all the scholar-officials in Goguryeo."
Cao Wushuang looked at his hands to make sure there was no dirt, and said calmly.
"Yang Qian is not afraid of the scholar-bureaucrats here, but needs them."
Zhang Yumeng's determination suddenly froze, unwilling to say anything.
"Is there any mistake? My analysis is absolutely correct."
Cao Wushuang smiled and said, "Silly girl, it's actually very simple. Goguryeo is far away from Yuntong County, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If there were no local scholar-bureaucrats to restrain it, wouldn't it be true that the officials here would be a single family?"
"There is a balance between the officials dispatched here and the local scholar-bureaucrat family forces. As a person in power, you must learn to check and balance. Otherwise, once the control is lost, trouble will easily happen in this border area."
Zhang Yumeng opened his mouth and looked at the two people in disbelief.
"Oh Tianyao, you two have become spirits!"
She was speechless. She originally thought that she had seen too much and had turned into an old fox. But she didn't expect that in front of Yang Qian and Cao Wushuang, she was still the same silly and sweet person who couldn't even see this.
Yang Qian waved his hand and couldn't help but comfort him, "Forget it, you're not that piece of material. Aren't what's mine yours? Anyway, you will have a share of the land, power and wealth I conquered. Let me do the troublesome things." Bar."
Yang Qian felt that he had better suppress Zhang Yumeng's complacency in being both talented and creative.
She is great at technology, but she is not good at maneuvering. When did she really let her take power without digging a hole for herself?
Ask the people from Tianshou Division to move the phone into the cabin and start making calls.
Put all the calls to Xiao Yu, and don't disturb yourself unless there's an emergency.
After hanging up the phone, Yang Gan said to Cao Wushuang, "Master, after I was injured, I worked hard on my body, and with the constant use of nourishing products, the first stage of Qi training is almost over."
"This departure is estimated to take four or five days. If it is a little slower, it may take five or six days. During this time, I will start to work hard and strive to integrate and perfect the Qi training method."
Cao Wushuang nodded and said to Krisna and Belika, "You two should start switching to cultivation during this period. This way, your efficiency will increase a lot."
The two women immediately became excited. It is estimated that only martial arts is attractive to Belika.
Krisna, on the other hand, is more lively.
"Okay, I can't wait any longer."
With many sailing experiences, the interior of Yang Qian's Breaking Waves has been modified many times.
The cabin, which was originally only a few dozen square meters, has now grown to over a hundred square meters.
Some people died, but not completely...
