Food issues are Jin Feng's biggest concern recently.
Hearing that Wei Datong was going to talk about food issues, Jin Feng raised his head and glanced at the sky: "Master Wei hasn't had dinner yet. Let's go to my house to have something to eat. Let's talk while eating."
This was a good opportunity to get close to the leader. Wei Datong was very excited, but he still asked: "Isn't it convenient?"
"What's the inconvenience?" Jin Feng said, "Let's go, do you want me to drag you along?"
After Jin Feng said so, Wei Datong couldn't refuse anymore, so he followed Jin Feng to the small courtyard.
Jin Feng asked on the way: "Master Wei, the water level rose some time ago, how is it now?"
Recently, Jin Feng has been busy with dockyards and armored ships in the East China Sea. Jin Feng didn't pay much attention to Sichuan and Shu. He just looked at the summary of memorials sent by the Ninth Princess every few days.
However, if there was a flood in Sichuan, the Ninth Princess would definitely tell herself that if she didn't say anything, it would be fine.
Now that I see Wei Datong, I just want to ask him a question.
As Jin Feng expected, Wei Datong replied: "Thanks to Mr.'s warning, we have made preparations in advance. The water level has not risen very much. There has been no major flood yet."
"That's good," Jin Feng nodded and continued to ask, "How is the construction of the canal going?"
"Several main canals have all been repaired, and almost all of the branch canals planned by Mr. have been opened. Due to the complicated terrain, the progress of the remaining canals is a little slow, but they will definitely be completed before the year!"
Wei Datong replied: "The lower reaches of the Jinma River have always been a flood-stricken area. In the past few years, the water level was slightly higher, and the lower reaches of the Jinma River must have been flooded. However, due to the opening of Dujiangyan, half of the Jinma River's water was diverted. A few days ago,
Only when the river water rises can the lower reaches of the Jinma River be spared from disaster."
"That's good, that's good!" Jin Feng said that's good twice, and then patted Wei Datong on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Wei!"
The water channel planned by Jinfeng runs through almost half of the Sichuan-Sichuan Basin.
With these canals, the water from the Jinma River can flow to every corner of Sichuan and Sichuan, nourishing the land.
Jin Feng believes that in a few years at most, the drought-ravaged Sichuan-Sichuan Basin can become a true land of abundance!
This is also what he hopes to see most.
It was already dinner time, and this time of day was also the busiest time at Jin Feng's house.
But when he came back today, Jin Feng found that the ninth princess Zuo Feifei, Bei Qianxun and Tang Dongdong were not there. Only Xiao'e, Ah Chun, Li Didi and Bei Qianxun's girls were sitting at the table and cooking frantically.
Runniang and Guan Xiaorou were sitting at the corner of the dining table, not eating, but putting their heads together and muttering.
Seeing Jin Feng coming back, several people quickly stood up.
"Head of the family! Mr. Wei!"
Guan Xiaorou and Runniang quickly greeted Jin Feng and Wei Datong.
"Brother-in-law!"
"Master!"
"gentlemen!"
"Master Wei!"
The four little ones also stood up.
Xiao'e just took a bite of the chicken leg before standing up. As soon as she spoke, the chicken spurted out of her mouth.
Maybe it was because she was afraid of hunger before. Even though her life is better now, Xiao'e has become a little naughty, but she almost never wastes food.

Seeing the chicken squirting onto the table, he grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth the next second.
"I don't even want to see if it's dirty," Jin Feng said angrily.
"Sister Runniang wipes the table eight times a day. What's wrong with it?" Xiao'e said nonchalantly: "Didn't my brother-in-law say that every porridge and meal should be remembered as hard-earned, and every trace of food should be remembered as difficult to obtain. In the past, I
I never dreamed that I would be able to eat chicken legs, so how could I waste it?"
"Uh-huh!"
The other three little ones also nodded.
They were all children of poor families before, and they all know what it feels like to be hungry, and they all know how to cherish food.
"That's what you think." Jin Feng pressed his hand: "Okay, you can continue eating."
Although the four little ones climbed up trees in the village, chased cats and chased dogs and did anything, Jin Feng felt through this incident that their natures were not bad, they were just a little more naughty than before.
When the four little ones sat down again, Jin Feng turned to look at Guan Xiaorou and asked, "Where are Wuyang and the others?"
"Zhu'er came over just now and said that Wuyang was going to have a meeting with Lord Tie and the others, and they would eat in the imperial study room. Qianxun was inconvenient, and Runniang had just sent her food back to her room. Feifei and Dongdong both said that there was something going on in the factory, so they would not
I’m back, let’s eat whatever we want in the factory.”
When Guan Xiaorou said this, her tone was a little helpless.
Ninth Princess and Zuo Feifei were really busy, and it was really inconvenient for Bei Qianxun. It was normal for them not to come for dinner.
But Tang Dongdong obviously made the same old mistake again and deliberately avoided Jin Feng.
Every time she thinks of this, Guan Xiaorou becomes a little anxious for Tang Dongdong.
Tang Dongdong and Zuo Feifei were married to Jin Feng by the Ninth Princess. Zuo Feifei followed Jin Feng on many expeditions to the north and south. They had done what they had to do many times, but Tang Dongdong still deceived herself and others like an ostrich.
However, this kind of thing should not be forced. Guan Xiaorou just felt anxious in her heart, and then continued: "After Qianxun came back, I asked the coach to train these four little naughty people. I didn't know that Master Wei was coming. Look,
They are all starving, so let them eat first, Mr. Wei, please forgive me."
In the feudal era, men could not serve meals until they came back.
Although Guan Xiaorou and Runniang were waiting for Jin Feng, the four little ones had already eaten first, and Guan Xiaorou was a little worried about losing Jin Feng's face.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Wei Datong waved his hands repeatedly.
"Since they won't come back, let's start dinner."
Jin Feng casually pointed to a stool: "Master Wei, sit down and tell me how your transshipment department is doing recently. What difficulties are you having?"
The Ninth Princess was not here. Wei Datong felt a little regretful and secretly relieved. After sitting down, he began to tell Jin Feng about the recent work of the Transshipment Department.
Jin Feng frowned as he listened.
In Jin Feng's opinion before, the transportation department just collected the grain and transported it to where it was needed.
But now after listening to Wei Datong's explanation, Jin Feng discovered that there are so many ways to do it.
In order to prevent possible food shortages, the Ninth Princess gave Zhang Liang an order to transport all the food back to Sichuan and Shu after seizing the granary in Jiangnan.
Later, Jin Feng discovered kelp in the East China Sea, established a fishing team, and captured a large number of marine fish.
The Ninth Princess asked people to make statistics and found that with the supplement of kelp and salted fish, plus the original food reserves of Sichuan and Shu, the people of Sichuan and Shu could survive for a long time.
The grain provided by Sichuan and Sichuan as work-relief was all snatched by Ninth Princess and Jin Feng from the powerful children, and almost all the food provided by the powerful children was obtained from Jiangnan.
Even if Jiangnan is rich in food, it can't afford to build it like this.
Coupled with the recent actions of Zhang Liang and Qinghuai, the food reserves in Jiangnan today have already fallen below the red line.
