Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

"Will it have any impact on the food crops?" After listening to Liu Ye, he went straight to the topic. Whether the beasts froze to death or not had nothing to do with Liu Ye. Whether the food crops would reduce their production was related to Liu Ye. related to the stability of the country.

"Hanmou has only developed grains that are more suitable for the current climate, and we have stored enough grains. Even if it is a disastrous climate, it will not have a big impact on us. No matter how bad it is, we can transport grains from Southeast Asia." Chen Xi has already determined this aspect.

After all, the primary industry is the core of all industries. Only by solving the problem of food can other problems be solved.

Therefore, after the Gan and Shi families spent four months combing through the hydrological and astronomical records of the millennium, and after drawing a long report from the climate law and handing it over to Chen Xi, Chen Xi immediately determined the output of his primary industry. .

Other problems can be put aside and not solved. The problem of food must be solved. Fortunately, even if the Han Dynasty is hit by a disaster, it will at most collapse in a certain area, and the integration of the whole country will collapse here. It's a big deal. It's a transfer.

Food is really not expensive these days. The food in Southeast Asia is at most unpalatable. To put it bluntly, it is just a problem with indica rice and japonica rice. There will be no climate problems there. Become two crops a year.

However, the Sun family’s territory in Southeast Asia is enough to support the food consumption of the Han Dynasty anyway, so the Han Dynasty can afford to reduce production in agriculture. Besides, climate change cannot be achieved overnight, and the time buffer is enough for the Han Dynasty to adapt to the new situation. Climatic state of rice planted.

As for the only bad thing, it was only last year that the three-crop rice in Southeast Asia was defined as feed grain, and now it has to be withdrawn, but it doesn't matter, you can build a food processing factory in Southeast Asia, and send the grain to the Han Dynasty after rough processing .

At most, when these food processing factories arrive in Southeast Asia, they will definitely be prostituted by Zhou Yu in the end. It is to build a country.

"Is it transporting grain from Southeast Asia?" Liu Ye frowned slightly when he heard the words, and he understood the situation. After all, since last year, the low-priced white rice in Southeast Asia has hit the grain market in the Han Dynasty. Cai Mao transported it with a large merchant fleet Food, the price is outrageous.

"Actually, isn't our side suitable for farming?" Li You asked with a complicated mood, "Why do I feel that farming in any place is better than our side?"

"Uh, I can't say that. In fact, our side is pretty good. However, if you look at the comparison, the Central Plains can still be ranked in the top ten in terms of farming." Chen Xi thought for a while and said, and then Li You's expression changed again. It's darkened.

"If the arable land is too good, you won't work hard to develop farming techniques." Chen Xi said immediately, "Whether it's the two-river plain of the Ganges-Indus River, or those places in Southeast Asia where the climate is hot and humid and suitable for grain cultivation, or some African regions , all these problems exist.”

Because it’s so good, you don’t need to study it, just mix it up. Hundreds of millions of wild beasts in Africa can survive hunting. Why do you need to farm? The Indus-Ganges River Basin can sow seeds three times a year, and even cut them After a crop, the roots can grow again without cutting off the roots.

Although most of the rice grown in this way are empty ears, they can still produce in that environment. By the way, this kind of ratooning rice was cultivated at a later stage in China. It was roughly cultivated from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and finally gradually successful.

But for some countries in Southeast Asia, such as Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and India, some of the rice seeds they plant randomly will become ratooning rice, and it’s not like China’s planting and harvesting two crops at a time.

The climate and environment of these places, as well as the relatively more fertile soil, allow one crop of rice to be planted without extinction, and one crop can be harvested, another crop can be harvested, and even a third crop can be harvested.

As for the future, it can actually grow out, but the empty shell rate is too high, but even so, the output rate is much higher than the normal rice varieties in the Han Dynasty.

It is precisely because of this simple and rude cultivation method that the local people do not need to consider technology research and development at all, and even say an exaggerated word. India's current rice yield per mu, in terms of a single season, is actually only at the level of the Song Dynasty, but this is still very high. abnormal.

"Although you comforted us so much, I'm not happy at all." Li You said to Chen Xi coldly, but he also admitted that his words were reasonable.

Although Li You also found it quite strange, in fact, only the Han Dynasty and Rome had really studied farming and smelting, and other countries were really wasting resources.

Of course, the research here in Rome is a bit crooked, plus the problem of its own class, even if the correct research is done, it is still a problem whether it can be promoted. As for steel smelting, Rome's technology is really excellent. Iron is produced from the 20% iron ore in the area, and the technology is indeed excellent enough.

By the way, both of these are due to being pitted by the Mediterranean Sea. Europe has very high-grade iron ore, but because the land route needs to pass through the Alps, Rome transported iron ore from Egypt to save trouble, and finally successfully curbed the development of Rome's smelting industry.

To a certain extent, it can be regarded as a manifestation of being pitted to death by one's own strengths.

"What I said is the truth. In short, the situation is like this. What's the situation in Southeast Asia recently?" Chen Xi looked to Guo Jia and asked.

"It's okay, Zhou Gongjin and Taishi Ziyi's Wudang Engineering Corps are working hard on water conservancy construction. According to the current efficiency, it is estimated that it will be effective early next year." Guo Jia replied casually, "But Sun Bofu went to Africa , General Gan also followed him and has lost contact now."

"Oh, let Zhou Gongjin make fruits, what's next?" Chen Xi didn't care about Sun Ce and Gan Ning's loss of contact at all. There are no war missions in Southeast Asia recently, and they can do whatever they want. This is one of the basic rights of a prince.

"The new cold chain ship has been built. If you really want to use large cold chain equipment, you still need to be big enough." Mi Zhu is very familiar with this aspect. Because of Zhou Yu's appearance, the aristocratic families in Jiangnan began to switch to buying fruit up.

"Does that mean that the current refrigerated etching can only be moved to large ships?" Chen Xi frowned, "No wonder the report from Panyu said that it is going to build a glass processing factory and a canning processing factory, and they can only be sent to the coast. , Others that are not resistant to maintenance can't be sent to the supply and marketing cooperative?"

"Yes, in fact, many people are trying to think of a way to do the etching in cold storage. This not only involves the preservation of fruits, but also meat, fresh milk, and some eggs." Mi Zhu is equivalent to the Ministry of Commerce. With the combination of the Ministry of Natural Resources, it is still clear what is really valuable at hand.

Therefore, refrigerated etching must be done, and as long as the size of the frame can be obtained, it will be considered a complete success. Unfortunately, this kind of etching can only be used in large buildings such as palaces and quasi-seventh generation ships. on the device.

Mi Zhu has also spent a lot of research and development expenses on this aspect, but it can’t be done. The big bosses are all responsible, but the big bosses can’t handle it. It’s hard to shrink, especially after the weather changes, the technical difficulty has further increased, and now the most we can get warehouse level.

"Now there are two directions. One is to continue to shrink, but it is very difficult. According to the estimates of Nandou Immortal Master, Master Tong, and other professionals, under optimistic circumstances, it will take seven to eight years to advance. If not optimistic, I'm afraid it will take fifty years." Mi Zhu said with a sigh.

Chen Xi raised his eyebrows when he heard the words. He didn't think it was slow. To be honest, in fifty years, he could transition from an era when he didn't even have electrical appliances and could only use fans in summer, to one where information was connected, where he could drink refrigerated fat house water at home, and have The level of watching TV, to be honest, Chen Xi thinks it is already very good.

As for why a refrigeration technology has been released for 50 years, and information interconnection has also been released? Because these are all using the heaven and earth essence etching technology, which can lead to the appearance of refrigerators, it is estimated that the arcane mirrors that are equivalent to movie players are also produced by people.

So Chen Xi is really not in a hurry. To be honest, to be able to do this in fifty years is already very good, so take your time.

"As for the other one, it's Lianhe Xianhe." Mi Zhu looked solemn. He had given up hope for the former one. He was going to join forces with Jian Yong and let Jian Yong do logistics transfer, and then he would pay part of the money. Laying the track, and then building a special cold storage at Jianyong's logistics point, although this will cost a lot, at least this will solve the problem.

As soon as Mi Zhu opened his mouth, Chen Xi knew what the other party wanted to do. This could indeed solve the problem. In fact, Chen Xi did this before to prepare for this aspect. However, if he followed Mi Zhu's approach, the cost would be a bit high.

"We will provide part of the funds here, and start with the three northern states." Mi Zhu directly raised his hand and explained, "I'm pouring cow and goat milk every day, I've had enough here, especially when summer is coming, there are a lot of cattle and goats The milk was put away before it could be recycled, and I didn’t take over it before, so I didn’t know that this kind of waste has been going on.”

"There is no way, we can only eliminate it on the spot." Chen Xi nodded, "If you allocate part of the money to Xianhe, I will allocate another part from the transportation side, logistics side, and taxation from various regions. , I will make another part, which should be barely enough."

"I can bring in part of the funds." Mi Zhu thought for a while and said.

Chen Xi chuckled and refused. Chen Xi could get whatever funds Mi Zhu could bring, but what about the manpower?
