There are plain basins in the south of the mountain and many mountains, rivers and rivers. This is a land of fish and rice. Li Chao feels that in the face of a major disaster, he needs to find ways to make and store everything he can eat and prepare for disasters and famines.

There are many fish in Danjiang River, there are many fish in Tanghe River, and there are more fish in Hanjiang River.

Fish is also a grain, but also a high-quality grain, which is much better than vegetables.

Li Chao remembers that when he was at his grandmother's house when he was a child, he often listened to the ****** in those years. He said that at that time, there was no food at all, and the harvest had to be paid to the public grain, and the family could not get much.

It can only be supported by eating vegetable porridge. The so-called vegetable porridge is to put a little rice and then add a lot of vegetables to cook together. Taro porridge rice, sweet potato porridge rice, pumpkin porridge rice, and radish porridge rice are all kinds of vegetable porridge. In fact, they are just vegetables without porridge. There are not a few grains of rice in a pot of vegetable porridge. The whole family eats every day, which is not as good as the pigs raised later.

Whenever my uncle talked about the incident at that time, he always lowered his head and showed him a scar on his head. It was because he was beaten to steal food and was beaten to death.

At that time, we were all working together in collectives and eating canteens. The village was a collective brigade, and steelmaking was a delay in production. As a result, satellites were placed, bragging about themselves, and then basically all the collected grains were handed over to the public. As a result, there was not much food left in the village. After eating for two months, the food left by the village was almost gone.

So every day, everyone can only make a basin of porridge from the cafeteria, and the porridge is as thin as water. It is impossible for a whole family to live by such a little porridge, so each family can only find a way for themselves. The best way is to add vegetables to the porridge. Pumpkins, taros, and radishes in the private fields, and cook whatever they have in the season.

There is no food, but there are still some vegetables in the countryside.

At that time, my uncle had to take Li Chao's mother and his brothers and sisters to dig wild vegetables and catch fish and shrimps every day. What about purslane, shepherd's purse, eat everything, touch all the fish and shrimps, and don't let go of the snails and river clams. Only by relying on this can I hold on.

At that time, Li Chao's grandfather was a haircutter, and the countryman was called a barber. He not only knew how to cut hair, but also fell down, massaged, bone-correcting and snake venom. He was a very respected craftsman in the countryside. During the difficult days, his grandfather was from the supply and marketing cooperative, so he was not bad. He was half a person who ate commercial grain and could get some rice every month.

At that time, the country people liked to prepare longevity ingredients for themselves early, and my grandfather also invited a carpenter to make longevity ingredients. In order to entertain them, he specially cooked a pot of rice.

In fact, it was just a pot of porridge, but because the rice was not so thin, it was a very decent entertainment at that time. As a result, my uncle hadn't eaten for too long, so he stole a small bowl, but was knocked at the head by a grandfather's pipe, and his head was bleeding.

I stole a bowl of white porridge from my family, but was beaten to death by my father. This is the real thing in that famine era.

In this era, people have a worse ability to resist famine. What they fear most is the formation of a tide of hunger people. That will be even more terrible than locust plagues, and they will eat wherever they really go.

To avoid such a terrible thing, we can only accumulate grain. However, the grain is limited. Although the summer harvest is good, the autumn harvest will definitely fail. Li Chao can only think of everything he can eat now.

Fish, how can you let go of so many fish in the river? Dried fish, smoked fish, and save them, and fish all the fish in the river, and catch a hundred kilograms. Maybe you can save a family in the year of disaster. If you save a thousand kilograms, you can save ten households.

The ship approached the city of Upper Luo.

There are already more boats on the river, and the sails are dotted.

The boatman Lao Wang kept saying that Shangluo City was very prosperous and very prosperous, but when the boat approached the dock, Li Chao found that Shangluo was also average. The commercial atmosphere looked quite strong, but the city was not big.

Shangluo City is on the north bank of Danshui, with a long wharf, and the city is right behind it.

The square city is not big, but there is a street market along the wharf outside the city, with shops on both sides of the street. Although it is relatively simple, the layout of the street market outside the city is rare.

Niu Jianhu Zao led the cavalry team to Shangluo and notified local officials.

When Li Chao's ships approached the dock, the escort troops had arrived long ago.

Officials from Shangluo came to greet the local big merchants and merchants.

Li Chao has a very famous name. He is the prime minister of the dynasty, the emperor and the most popular person, and this time he brought the crown prince. Li Chengqian and Li Chao came out this time, and Li Shimin also gave him a name, namely inspecting Shannan and inspecting Xinjing. The crown prince has a ceremonial guard. Even though he was just a seven-year-old child, he was still the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty.

A team of guards from the Northern Ya Imperial Army sent by Li Shimin changed into a bunch of Mingguang armor, and the tassels on the helmet were all red. After entering Shangluo City, Li Chao talked with the governor and county magistrate of Shangzhou, but there was actually not much to talk about.

Li Chao assigned three tasks to Shangzhou local area.

First, immediately send personnel to check all granaries in Shangzhou, including the official warehouse and the Shek Warehouse, to grasp the detailed grain storage situation, and to send people to take over the guard. The grain in the warehouse was not allowed to be released from the warehouse at will without the order of the government.

Second, immediately follow the imperial edict of the court to buy grain from local landlords and grain merchants, and strictly implement the court's standards. If each household has more than the limit, half of the grain must be bought, and the grain must be stored in the warehouse and kept.

The third article is to let the Shangzhou government announce to the people of the state that they will hunt, fish and dry vegetables. The government openly purchases these, and the people can use them to make labor and labor, etc., or exchange them for copper coins, silk, etc.

Li Chao's three orders made the governor of Shangzhou secretly surprised. The first two were expected, and there was a notice on it. But this third one was a bit too exaggerated. This autumn is drought, but the summer harvest is good, and the people will not lose food.

"Care all the food that can be eaten. Whether I fly from the sky, from the ground or crawling in the water, you are even rats and locusts. After collecting it, make storage. I will give you a task. From now on, no grain produced in Shangzhou is allowed to leave the state boundary. Food that transits outside the state must be strictly inspected. Also, from now on, it is prohibited to use grain to make wine, and no drop is allowed. Those who dare to violate the order will be severely punished!"

In fact, Li Chao not only wanted to ban the local grain outflow in Shangzhou, but the entire Central Plains region would issue and implement this strict order.
