Chapter 504: Military Secrets
She believed that as long as all the people of the Great Zhou planted high-yield crops, the output would definitely be more than just doubled when the crops were harvested the following year.
But she didn't tell anyone about the food secret she discovered.
However, she also knew that the people were not fools. They knew clearly how good the grain they bought from the market was, and they would definitely leave some for use as seeds.
However, no matter how good the seeds are, now is not the season to plant them. We have to wait until next year. The most important thing at the moment is to help refugees and ordinary people survive this cold winter.
The smart tent cannot be taken out, and the quality of the ordinary tent is also very special.
She had seen it the moment the ordinary tent turned into space, and it was indeed well done in all aspects.
Although she didn't know what the tents of this era were like, she was sure that the tents of the Great Zhou were not as good as the ordinary tents in the space.
"Xie Ruiyuan, hundreds or thousands of tents are definitely not enough. We need at least a million tents."
Hearing the number over one million, Xie Ruiyuan muttered softly.
"See, I guessed right."
"What did you say?"
"Nothing, Ayue, why do you need so many tents?"
"Xie Ruiyuan, it's not that I want so many tents, it's that you need them."
After hearing what Li Mengyue said, Xie Ruiyuan was a little confused. He didn't need millions of tents at all. Even if he wanted to accommodate the 300,000 troops in the north, he would not need so many tents.
You have to know that if each person has one tent, that would be a total of 300,000 tents, but there is still 700,000 short of one million tents. It is impossible to use millions of tents.
However, what Li Mengyue said next woke Xie Ruiyuan up as if from a dream, and he felt a little annoyed. How could he have forgotten about this matter?
"Xie Ruiyuan, the reason why I said that we need millions of tents is related to the people in the entire northern part of the Great Zhou. You also know that it has been snowing heavily since yesterday, and there is no sign of stopping until now. And this kind of heavy snow will continue for ten days. You can imagine how many people's houses will be crushed by such heavy snow, and how many people will be left homeless and have no place to live."
After hearing this, Xie Ruiyuan realized what he had overlooked.
However, he knew in his heart that even if he learned at the first time that people's houses were collapsed by the snow, he would not be able to stay in Qingshan Prefecture to deal with the matter.
Because there are still 300,000 troops waiting for him in the north. You should know that an avalanche occurred where the garrison was located, although it was learned from secret reports that no soldier was in danger.
But he knew very well that the troops stationed in the northern border were facing great difficulties. Not only did they have no food to eat and no place to live, but even Beimo would not remain indifferent after hearing the news and would definitely gather troops to attack Beiling City.
Beiling City is the northernmost city in Da Zhou and also the dividing line with Beimo. Further north is Beimo grassland.
Every winter, life becomes more difficult for the herdsmen living on the northern desert grasslands. In order to survive, there are always cavalry raids on some villages in the north.
This year, the Great Zhou encountered such a severe snowstorm, not to mention the Beimo Grassland further north, where the situation is even worse than that of the Great Zhou.
If they want to survive, they will definitely send out more cavalry to rob the people of the Great Zhou.
In the past, due to the deterrence of the garrison, the Northern Desert Cavalry did not dare to act so recklessly. But this year, the garrison suffered an avalanche and could not even take care of themselves, let alone fight against the cavalry and protect the people.
Besides, compared with infantry, cavalry is more mobile. They can find a place, rob and run away, and you can’t catch up with them even if you want to.
He could fully imagine how hard life was for the people around the northern border this year.
Even if he sent people to transport a large amount of food, cotton clothes and quilts in advance, the local people would be able to spend the winter better.
However, under the threat of the Northern Desert Cavalry, the situation in the North will not be much better than in previous years, but will become worse.
She knew all this very well, and even if she wanted to change it, she was unable to do so.
However, the most urgent thing for him was to rush to the North. He was worried that the longer he delayed, the worse things would get.
Li Mengyue didn't know about the avalanche at the northern garrison site. She was only concerned about how to provide tents reasonably so that the people of Qingshan Prefecture and the entire northern prefecture of Da Zhou could get a tent and have a temporary place to stay as long as their houses collapsed.
"Ayue, I understand what you are saying, but I have more urgent things to do now and cannot stay in Qingshan Mansion."
"What do you mean, you still want to leave."
"Well, Ayue, I have no choice."
"What happened that made you so determined to leave without caring about the refugees?"
"Ayue, this is a military secret. I really can't tell you."
Li Mengyue expressed her understanding of the military secrets that Xie Ruiyuan mentioned.
She knew that the reason why Xie Ruiyuan was the God of War of the Great Zhou was because of his outstanding ability to command troops. He led his army to countless victories and kept the Northern Desert Cavalry firmly outside the borders of the Great Zhou. He did not allow the Northern Desert Cavalry to set foot into the Great Zhou country, forcing countless people to live in the flames of war, becoming displaced and in constant fear.
But the military situation is urgent, and the blizzard in the entire northern part of the Great Zhou is no small matter.
If we leave it alone, by the beginning of next spring, who knows how many people will have frozen to death, and by then the total population of the Great Zhou will definitely be reduced a lot.
In this era, human beings are the most important productive force. Without people, there will be no one to farm, and there will be no grain produced in the fields. The treasury will not be able to collect so much tax revenue. The treasury will be empty, and the national strength will gradually weaken until it becomes a poor and weak country that is bullied by other countries.
Not to mention that she now has a mission worth 100 million gratitude points on her shoulders. Even if she didn't have that, she wouldn't want to see the Great Zhou's national strength decline.
She hopes to live in a prosperous country, and hopes that the national strength of the Great Zhou will become stronger and stronger so that the people can live a happier and better life.
In order to achieve all this, someone needs to make contributions. She now has a system, a live broadcast room to accumulate popularity, and a magical mall where she can exchange all kinds of supplies.
No matter what she lacks, she can get it easily. Although it now requires soul-returning pills to exchange things with the mall, she still has quite a lot of soul-returning pills. It is worth taking out a few to exchange for supplies.
However, the supplies cannot be piled up in the space forever. They need to be put to good use. Only in this way will they not be wasted. Tuanzi worked hard to negotiate with the mall and exchanged the supplies for the extremely precious Guihun Pills.
It's just that her current status is not very high. If she does this personally, not to mention that there will be countless obstacles waiting for her, it will definitely not be a good thing for her.
