Chapter 506 Natural Disasters and Wars Disrupt the World 54
Since more refugees have come to seek refuge in the past few months, Lingxue will have enough manpower to harvest sweet potatoes.
Within five days, all the sweet potatoes and potatoes were harvested.
Ling Xue also sent a special notice, which means that the sweet potatoes leaked in the field can be picked up by the sweet potato harvesters from Yunyang Mansion.
Because the framework of the management organization here in Lingxue has been established, even the sweet potatoes and potatoes leaked from the field are not picked up randomly.
The rule is that whichever team originally collected the land will get it.
In this way, it is fair to everyone.
The sweet potatoes and potatoes picked up from the field belong to whoever picked them up.
At this moment, everyone is working harder than the other. This is something you can put in your pocket if you pick it up. Who doesn’t work hard?
All the workers basically live on the edge of the field, and they don’t even go back to eat, drink or take care of themselves. Even the children are using a small rake to scratch around in the fields, and the harvest is not small.
They are not picky about picking up anything in the field, even if it is a sweet potato head as thick as a finger, they will not let it go. After all, do these sweet potato heads taste better than those wild vegetables?
Because the yield of sweet potatoes and potatoes is high, there is no room to store the sweet potatoes and potatoes harvested by Lingxue.
How to do it?
Build a warehouse!
Shen Zhen came to Ling Xue with both joy and annoyance. He was a bit like Verdes: "I didn't expect that the output of these new grains would be so large, with an output of tens of millions of kilograms. We have no place to store these grains."
Ling Xue glanced at him with a smile, and then asked Shen Zhen: "Where are all the grains placed now?"
Shen Zhen replied distressedly: "Put them all in the cave in Yunshan. Although the place is large, the space is not enough, and it is a bit far away."
Ling Xue shook her head with a smile and said: "Aren't you building a warehouse? Then keep building it! Moreover, maybe soon someone will consume the food we have on our behalf."
"What? Which force is coming?" Shen Zhen stood up in shock.
Ling Xue calmly pressed her hand and motioned for Shen Zhen to sit down.
"You know, if we make such a big move, those spies may have already passed on the news. Now they are all fighting, and they are afraid that a truce will be called soon. When they turn their heads to deal with us, I'm afraid there will be some beated!"
"What did the old general say?" Shen Zhen was more convinced by the old general. After all, he had been fighting for a lifetime, and his experience was definitely better than that of rookies like them!
Ling Xue flipped through the documents in her hand and replied without raising her head: "The old general told us not to worry, he has found an ally, and we don't have to be afraid of whoever comes to attack us!"
Shen Zhen's frown did not relax, and he said firmly: "There must be conditions, right?"
Ling Xue calmly explained to Shen Zhen: "Of course, how can there be no conditions? You also know that the court does not issue military pay or military rations. What do those soldiers eat? We are not short of food now, what can they do? Someone is coming to attack us? Not all forces are bandits!"
Ling Xue saw another application form for building a warehouse in her hand. She was a little confused. They didn't seem to need to build so many warehouses, right?
After taking a closer look, it turned out that it was for storing sweet potato vines and sweet potato leaves. Everyone was starving. These can be eaten as vegetables and no one wanted to waste them.
Ling Xue still approved it, otherwise there would be no place to put the things and they would be wasted sooner or later.
In this way, Ling Xue allocated some manpower to build warehouses, not only building warehouses on the ground, but also digging underground cellars.
