"I have met the marquis."

"I, I have met the Marquis..."

After Bumubutai and Su Moer gave Xu Changqing a gift, the two girls also came over to greet Xu Changqing respectively.

When they got closer, Xu Changqing quickly saw the difference between them.

Although the two women are about the same height, Dong'e's face is obviously much more tender and not very beautiful, but he is quite regular. Is it the real princess of the Qing Dynasty at this time?

Kong Sizhen is much more beautiful.

Especially his eyes, extremely agile.

She was very afraid of Xu Changqing at this time, but she was secretly looking at Xu Changqing with her light.

Xu Changqing couldn't help but feel better.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the two girls in front of me are the two most noble women with the status of the Qing Dynasty.

I'm afraid Dorgon would never have thought that Dong'e was the only bloodline he left in this world in this life...

"Haha, two princes, are you used to it in Haicheng these days? It's all because Changqing is too busy and didn't come to accompany the two princes as soon as possible."

Xu Changqing smiled and bowed deeply to them.

Although they are still young at this time, their identities are here, even Xu Changqing cannot break the etiquette.

Although Dong'e is young, he is very honest. He is deeply blessed with Xu Changqing and said shyly: "Mr. Marquis, I am both in Haicheng. Both are very good. I'm so worried about you..."

Unlike the Han girl, Dong'e was still under thirteen years old, but she was already able to get married. She came to Haicheng this time and thought she had received careful training and prepared...

In this regard, even Dorgon could not protect his daughter.

This is the tide of the times, who can easily violate it?

But Xu Changqing didn't have so much bad taste towards Dong'e. This girl is a bit innocent.

However, he was very interested in Kong Sizhen and Xu Changqing next to him.

Although this girl, although her parents are both Han, her mother died prematurely and was fostered in the palace since she was a child, which is a little irrelevant to the Han people.

In history, even though she was so sexy, she finally failed to protect Guangxi. The feudal of her father Kong Youde directly led to the transformation of the four feudal families into the Three Feudal families.

Moreover, her cleverness is obviously available to communicate...

"Haha, since that's the case, let's continue later."

Xu Changqing nodded to them with a smile, and then stepped onto the platform that had been prepared long ago, ready to give a speech.

When Xu Changqing left, the two girls breathed a sigh of relief, especially Dong'e, who had already been covered in sweat at this time.

Although Kong Sizhen was smart, she was so nervous. She stuck out her tongue and said secretly: "This Haicheng Hou doesn't look too scary, but why am I so nervous? Dong'e, how are you?"

"fine……"

Dong'e bit his red lips, "He, is he the life-and-death enemy of our Qing Dynasty?"

Kong Sizhen nodded vigorously and whispered: "Dong'e, let's talk about it later when we go back. There are so many people here. Even if... we can't believe it easily."

"Um."

Dong E also came back to his senses and hurriedly looked at the tall figure on the platform.

"Brothers, after nearly half a year of hard work, we are finally home! Are everyone's New Year's goods ready?"

Xu Changqing has already become familiar with this kind of speech, and the first sentence is to directly mobilize the emotions of countless model military men.

"Haha, Dashen, you're all ready! You're waiting to go back to the city to buy it."

"Master, Bei Yi can get more than 200 taels of silver this time."

"Haha, Grandmaster, I'm going to marry a little wife this time..."

The model soldiers were excited, and the people soon joined forces. The world quickly turned into a sea of ​​joy. Everyone was looking forward and looking forward to it.

The Japanese soldiers who followed the large army to Haicheng for the first time were all frightened.

Even the leaders of Heiji Ono were confused.

What a scale this is.

These wise men, one by one, may drown them?

But after fear, they were deformed and excited again. The Ming Dynasty was too powerful. This was the best master of their heroic warriors.

As Xu Changqing announced that the entire army would be on holiday for three days, the welcoming ceremony came to an end. Xu Changqing directly carried a carriage with Li Youwei and returned to the official hall.

This is the glory of the wife.

As long as Li Youwei is here, no one can take it away, whether it is Zhu Ma, the Ming princess, or Dong'e, the Qing princess, who is the Qing princess.

In the carriage, Li Youwei helped Xu Changqing massage his body and relax with a few close maids, while carefully narrating the situation of Haicheng during this period.

The Qing army's invasion this time seemed to have not caused much damage to Haicheng, but that kind of influence was still unparalleled.

Especially since many arable land in Shandong has been destroyed, the losses are even more uncountable.

Coupled with the dispersion of the population and the blow to people's morale, Xu Changqing's profit this time will probably be a little more than this deficit.

Fortunately, after the joint efforts of the Political Affairs Department, Li Youwei and others, including all the Haicheng people, the situation has now eased and all aspects of business have basically recovered.

However, food issues are still the top priority!

Now, the whole world is displaced, and you can’t buy food even if you have money.

Xu Changqing was also quite sad about this and was very helpless.

The land of China is indeed fertile and beautiful, but if you really want to plant crops, it is still a bit worse because of the latitude.

For example, the grain on Hainan Island is ripe three times a year, and when you arrive in Nanyang, you want to ripe four times a year, so you can plant and harvest whatever you want.

In China, especially in the northern region, even if the people are very hardworking and hardworking after their lives, they can only get familiar with each other every year.

This is something that human power cannot change at present.

The Little Ice Age has a great impact on East Asia and many areas, but the Ganges Basin in India, the Southeast Asian regions, and Africa have not been affected by any impact. Many places have endless grain and even good harvests.

This is a fucking evil...

But now the transportation strength is limited, and far-reaching water cannot relieve near-thirst thirst. Even Xu Changqing can endure it first, or focus on expanding the amount of fishing. In addition, increase the collection and collection of marine plants to alleviate the food dilemma.

But even so, the effectiveness is quite limited. Xu Changqing can at most guarantee Haicheng, including Shandong and other areas, so there is no guarantee at all.

Back at the official hall, Li Youwei's maid had already gone to find Chen Ruyi, and Xu Changqing also came directly to his study room and recruited Li Yan and others to discuss it.

"Lord, this matter is too difficult. And it's not just us, but even more difficult in the Qing Dynasty. I have received news from these days that many real Manchu iron crops have slaughtered older war horses in advance for the New Year..."

"Yes, lord, that is, our sweet potato harvest this year is good, and we can barely support it. There is not much grain production in Jiangnan, so this is really..."

"Lord, now several major wineries have cut production in full, and the volume is less than one-tenth of the original..."

Li Yan and others were also full of bitterness.

They almost tried their best, but they could only maintain their current scale.

Xu Changqing nodded slowly.

It is already very difficult for Haicheng to reach this point. It should be noted that just the captured population after the war, Haicheng received more than 500,000. Even if these people are large, they are women and eat less, how much does it take to consume on such a large scale?

It is a miracle that no one has ever starved to death in Haicheng at this time.

"How is the cultivation of sweet potatoes?"

Xu Changqing thought for a while and looked at everyone and asked.

Li Yan heard this and was a little better, so he bowed respectfully, "The effect is not bad, it is a little stronger than before, but it is not much stronger. But the promotion effect is not very good... The people do not recognize it very much, and they are still willing to grow grain. Our propaganda team has been exhausted all these days, and only persuaded thousands of households to fully plant sweet potatoes..."

"this……"

Xu Changqing couldn't help but frowned.

It has been a long time since sweet potatoes were introduced to the Ming Dynasty. It was brought back by a keen merchant named Chen from Nanyang, but it has not been spread out.

The reasons here are very complicated.

In short, almost every item goes against the rules.

For example, in the Jiangnan region.

Sweet potatoes were first introduced to Jiangnan. In theory, if there is no need to do anything about the land in Jiangnan, there will definitely be a bumper harvest.

but.

In the Jiangnan region, most of the land is in the hands of landlords and powerful people. How could landlords and powerful people allow too much food to grow in the land?

It must be a more valuable cash crop.

I started to return the mulberry to the field when Master Jiajing started, but who can do it again?

Ordinary people have no land in their hands, and even those with land planted sweet potatoes will be slandered. It is worthless. How can they gain something?

...

"Sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes..."
