After all, rice is different from other crops, and even different from cold-proof clothing. This thing and wheat are the most direct food rations.
Not to mention that the temperature in the wheat area is very hot, but there are really a lot of wild rice species in this area - and this is something Li Sheng has already discussed with Li Er, Chai Shao, Ma Zhou, and many others.
We talked with grassroots soldiers.
But when we talked before, it was basically air-to-air. Li Sheng said that there are a lot of wild rice varieties there, but people couldn't believe it, right? At least it was very difficult to believe it directly. No one came from the Internet age, how could they have that insight?
, talking about these things is the same as talking about topics like controllable nuclear fusion.
But this time we really found wild rice species, which is very exciting. It is a breakthrough in controllable nuclear fusion.
This is not a joke, because in modern times, all goods, jobs, and incomes ultimately come from energy, and energy prices have become the lifeline of all countries in the world. They are also the consciousness of countless ordinary people. Once energy prices happen, countless people will be affected.
People's jobs evaporated immediately.
If it weren't for such real energy pressure, how could controllable nuclear fusion become a commonplace issue? And the same is true for rice seeds now...
Li Sheng has obtained many strange things by signing in to the system, including very useful sweet potatoes and potatoes, but there is really no improved rice.
Li Sheng's idea at the time was that there were a lot of big peninsulas to the south of this thing. You could get a lot of them just by going there, and it wasn't too far there. You see, people who travel domestically in later generations would all go there... After all, the location is not far away.
It's close and the air tickets are cheap.
In the end, it was only when I really had to engage in pioneering operations that I realized that this was not the case at all. The scope of the South China Sea was much larger than I thought. With the current navigation capabilities of the Tang Dynasty, it is really impossible to "go to the South China Sea and cover everything"
".
After countless efforts, I finally achieved this first achievement today!
Traveling to foreign lands has always been a heavy topic in China, because in the past, it often meant traveling to Mobei, endless wastelands, lack of food and clothing, and difficulties in supplies. These were the most stressful things, and traveling there
The South China Sea is a mission for soldiers... Everywhere they go is a mission, and the pressure is the same. However, obtaining rice seeds this time really makes the whole matter of exploring the South China Sea completely different in everyone's mind.
This harvest has been quickly taken to Chang'an by the ordering troops and sent to Li Erzhong.
There is no longer a dedicated sequence of messengers. These sequences have been abolished. These soldiers have gone to other places. Only a small number of injured or elderly soldiers are arranged to do the job of messengers.
Unlike in the past, the messengers were the most elite riders with the most powerful equestrian skills.
Just like the cooking class in later generations, because there is less training time, the combatants who enter the cooking class are the ones with stronger talents...
Now that there are telephones, the efficiency of conveying orders has been greatly reduced, and the occupation of personnel has been greatly reduced.
Li Er's commendation and reward decision should be coming soon, and because it is such a sacred thing as rice, it is definitely not light.
The "Ji" in "She Ji" is not exactly what it means.
However, Li Sheng is not very interested in Li Er's commendation order. He has more important things to do now.
Recently, the construction of Zhongzuoso Island has become more and more successful, and this place can basically be regarded as a paradise.
However, this news is not known to the vast majority of people in China.
The telephone has come to this world, but the news is still not widespread enough. In the eyes of the vast majority of people, a borderline wilderness is a wilderness, and no matter how nice it is, the stereotype is already there.
Such a situation cannot attract more people to live in border areas, expand the borders of China, and absorb all the resources in the world, the ultimate goal.
So Li Sheng’s next plan is very simple, which is to set up a factory on Zhongzuoso Island!
factory.
In modern society, due to various reasons and the emergence of emerging industries, factory jobs are gradually no longer popular among young people.
The problem is not what Li Sheng is facing now, because at the beginning of the industrial revolution, although the work in the factory was hard and tiring, it was still far better than farming. Taking the 1990s as an example, factory work at that time could
I earn hundreds of yuan a month, which is far more than the income from farming.
And what Li Sheng wants is this kind of effect. If you build a factory and the people who work in the factory make money, real money and silver, this is more useful than any propaganda or appeal!
As for which type of factory to build, Li Sheng had already thought about it completely, or... in fact, there was no need to think about it at all.
At the beginning of industrialization, the industry with the lowest costs and relatively high returns must be the textile industry.
In later generations, whether it was the early days of the European Industrial Revolution, or the Little Dragons, or even the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai regions of China, the initial industrial construction began with the textile industry.
Of course, big countries cannot do this. Big countries must start with heavy industry.
Of course, this so-called industrial advantage cannot be compared with high-tech, but in this period, with big machines and large factories, such production itself is black technology.
The first manifestation of this power was in Li Er's steelmaking plant. For the first time, Li Er, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui, all the big guys in Chinese history, saw the power of mass production.
The exquisite weapons used by hundreds of thousands of troops could be manufactured in less than a year, and their exquisiteness... far exceeded expectations.
Now it's time to engage in economic development. The textile industry has also taken advantage of this, and Li Sheng has long been familiar with it.
The ship transporting these materials did not have those things on board this time, but Li Sheng was thinking about how to combine the profits of the factory industry with the border area of the South China Sea... and the border area of Northern Saipei.
But he couldn't figure it out for the time being. Li Sheng shook his head. It seemed that he would do ordinary cotton spinning first.
After Li Sheng thought about this news...
In fact, it should be said that Li Sheng has already had this idea, and all industrialization routines are ready-made.
However, when this incident reached Xiao Yu's ears, it immediately aroused Xiao Yu's nervousness and doubts.
"Textile...?"
At this moment, Xiao Yu in Chang'an's study was full of doubts.
Asking your family to move south, doesn't this mean setting up a settlement and then building a fort or something like that? In fact, the Xiao family also did these things in their hometown, but it was done by tenant servants. Now it is the turn of their children to learn to endure hardship.
Although the deal reached with Li Sheng included "support"...
