Chu Qing left in the name of going to Ganzhou Prefecture to rescue disasters, but he disappeared for a month, which was equivalent to firing an empty cannon.

Fortunately, the Chu boys did not give it to you for nothing, and they all led the local disaster-stricken people to do some production and self-rescue work as Chu Qing ordered.

So what Chu Qing has to do now is to organize something to show that he "although he is in danger, he does not forget his original intention."

Natural disasters cannot be fought against by humans, and can only minimize losses and can promote productivity, which is difficult to achieve.

Therefore, in the current severe "food shortage", resources need to be allocated and some "substitute food" are needed to strive to avoid starving people to death.

Chu Qing planned to add "heterozygous powder" in addition to dry seafood, which is to mix the residues of wheat straw, bean stalk, bean shell, peanut shell, corn stalk, acorn, and sweet potatoes into starch.

This is also considered a meal and a dish. Don’t care whether it’s delicious or not. If you like it or not, you can eat it first. Secondly, it can ensure a certain amount of nutrition, which can ensure that you can’t starve to death.

In fact, many grain crops can be used in full, such as corn stalks, corn foreskins, and corn cobs; many plants can also be eaten, such as some leaves, barks, wild vegetables and wild fruits.

But now it is winter, and the plants and trees in the north have already withered and covered with snow, and the flooding in the south is severe. To this day, many places are still muddy, and the epidemic is rampant. People dare not eat anything in the water and mud, so there are very few vegetables and fruits available.

Chu Qing now has many people to support. When the food prices soared soar, she could not use her own food to provide disaster relief. Chu Yuan was right - that was not disaster relief, but being a sucker.

But if the common people have no food, they will really starve to death. Chu Qing himself cannot disappear for a month and does nothing, so he chose to raise food instead, which is relatively economical.

The mountains and fields of Chu Qing’s 108 villages are mainly sorghum, corn, jujubes, etc. The harvest this year is really good, and there are good fertilizers to dress for top dressing, which will bring good yields and good harvests.

Coarse grains are now selling at a high price, so Chu Qing won’t sell them, as long as they can be used as food replacements.

Chu Qing did not intend to popularize sweet potatoes to Daxuan. Xiaobao used to not allow him to say this, but now Chu Qing has consciously kept it confidential.

Everyone needs food, and more food is more confidence.

But the products produced by sweet potatoes are good! Sweet potato vermicelli, sweet potato residue, etc.

Unfortunately, the island is like spring all year round, and there is no need to dry the vegetables, otherwise it would be better to dry the sweet potato leaves into dried vegetables and mixed with hybrid powder.

Chu Qing talked about this idea with Guo Zhengbiao. Guo Zhengbiao also thought it was a good idea, so he said: "We want the 'mixed fan' you mentioned, too!

Although the Mengyuan Prefecture is a little remote, it has not caused many major disasters here since the first year of Qingde to the present;

Although our place is the main grain producing area in the north, it is also a heavy tax area, so the people cannot eat enough;

Just like now, there is no food to eat in the south, so we are still hungry even if we are not affected by the disaster, just because we collected food again before the New Year..."

But with the entry point, Guo Zhengbiao can finally tell Chu clearly what he really wants to say: "It's..."

As soon as the words began, I suddenly realized that the village chief’s wife was still standing in the corner of the house, so I stopped.

Chu Qing followed his gaze and saw the village chief's wife frowned and rolled her eyes to the sky. She rolled her eyes, her fingers moved around the sleeves, and her right hand pressed down on the fingers of her left hand one by one, silently speaking, but she muttered something.

"Miss of the Village Chief?" Chu Qing asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

"Ah? Oh..." The village chief's wife was startled by the name, and her hands stopped suddenly. A trace of confusion flashed across her face. Then she blinked for a long time, as if she was reacting to Chu Qing's question, and seemed to have something to say.

"I...a grass-speaking people..." The village chief lady held her breath and asked as if she raised all her courage: "Hou, Marquis, did you just say you want to collect seafood?"

"Ah, yes," Chu Qing's turn now didn't understand: "What's wrong?"

The village chief’s wife slapped her thighs: “Oh my god, that’s great! Then what, when will you collect it? Do you want any seafood? Do you want the mountain goods?"

Chu Qing looked at Guo Zhengbiao, then looked at the village chief’s wife: “When will you start collecting it? You have to listen to Lord Guo, but the faster the better; what about mountain goods, do you have mountain goods at home?”

Village chief’s wife: “It’s not a good product, but the western mountain is full of acorn trees. We always go there to pick acorn flour as grain. Every family has a lot of them. Do you collect it? Are you trying to make that hybrid powder?”

Chu Qing: "Yes, yes."

Village Chief’s wife: “I heard what you meant just now. There is something else in the hybrid powder, which should be better than acorn noodles. Can we change it with you?”

Acorn noodles are extremely unpalatable, but they can be used as food.

Chu Qing looked at Guo Zhengbiao again: "There are many acorn trees here?"

Guo Zhengbiao nodded and shook his head: "There are many acorn trees in the mountains and forests southwest of Mengyuan Prefecture, and some silkworm farmers have the hair, but the tussah silk hair is black and hard, and the silk woven is not soft and not easy to sell. However, I really don't know where there are large acorn forests here."

Guo Zhengbiao looked ashamed of not understanding the mountains and forests in the offshore areas.

This is no wonder that Guo Zhengbiao, a prefect, is busy with affairs all day long, and he has no chance to travel all over the mountains and rivers of the jurisdiction. It is all based on the information reported by each county to learn about it.

What the county government can record is nothing more than a number of arable land. As for barren mountains and wastelands, no one will pay attention unless there is minerals.

"Since you have a lot of acorn trees, then just collect acorns. You can plan, how to price, and how to settle the money. Anyway, you can send it to my workshops in the end;

As for the purchase, let’s make a decision with my workshop at that time.”

Guo Zhengbiao nodded and said yes.

This is a good thing, and it is indeed as Chu Qing said, valuable things cannot be sold at a price, and even if Chu Qing resells them, she will not make much money. Her family will eventually have to bear the transportation costs.

But that is for Chu Qing, but for the people, the people can always exchange for some hybrid fans, and maybe they can make some money from seafood.

A few miscellaneous things are nothing to Chu Qing, but it is an extra family income for the people. It can buy clothes and shoes for the children, and can treat patients at home and grab medicine.

It is also a good thing for the yamen. It can ensure that the people will not die of cold and starvation, which means that they can ensure political achievements.

Guo Zhengbiao suddenly felt that he was suspected of taking Chu Qing, the "big family" with the people of the palace, and his old face turned a little red.

The village chief's wife also blushed and excited. She looked at Guo Zhengbiao with hope: "Master, when will it be..."

Guo Zhengbiao was stern: "This needs to be discussed with the county governments. I will notify you at that time. Is there anything else?"

This woman was really eye-catching. When the adults spoke, she actually narrowed in the corner and didn't know how to retreat!

It was just before, there were a lot of people, and I really needed someone to serve tea and water, but now he was going to talk to Lin Yanghou alone, and he was still chatting here!

"No, it's okay! That's it, magistrate, don't forget, if you have a letter, please notify us early!" The village chief's wife said as she retreated out the door: "Before early!"
