As many refugees have come here for refuge in the past few months, Ling Xue will have enough manpower to harvest sweet potatoes and potatoes.
Within five days, all the sweet potatoes and potatoes were harvested.
Ling Xue also issued a special notice, meaning that the sweet potatoes and potatoes that fell from the ground could be picked up by people from Yunyang Prefecture who came to collect them.
Because the framework of the management organization here in Lingxue has been established, even picking up the sweet potatoes and potatoes that have fallen from the ground is not done randomly.
The rule is that the team that originally acquired the land will be the one to pick up the spoils.
This way, it's fair to everyone.
The sweet potatoes and potatoes picked up from the fields belong to whoever picks them up.
At this moment, everyone is working harder than the other. If you pick it up, you can put it in your pocket. Who wouldn't work hard?
Almost all the people who worked lived at the edge of the fields, and did not go back home for eating, drinking, going to the toilet, or going to the bathroom. Even the children had a small rake in their hands and were scratching around in the fields, and they harvested quite a lot.
They are not picky when picking up leftovers in the fields, even if it is a sweet potato head as thick as a finger, they will not let it go. After all, these sweet potatoes taste better than those wild vegetables, right?
Because the yield of sweet potatoes and potatoes is high, Ling Xue has no place to store the sweet potatoes and potatoes she harvested.
What should I do?
Let’s build a warehouse!
Shen Zhen came to Ling Xue with both joy and worry. He said, "I didn't expect the yield of these new grains to be so large, tens of millions of kilograms. We have no place to store them."
Ling Xue glanced at him with a smile, then asked Shen Zhen: "Where is all the food stored now?"
Shen Zhen replied distressedly, "They are all placed in the cave in Yunshan. Although the place is large, it is still not enough, and it is a bit far away."
Ling Xue smiled and shook her head, saying, "Aren't you building a warehouse? Then keep going! Besides, who knows, someone might consume all the food we have soon."
"What? Which force is coming to attack?" Shen Zhen stood up in shock.
Ling Xue calmly pressed her hand and motioned Shen Zhen to sit down.
"It's easy to imagine that with all the noise we've made, those spies have probably already passed on the news. Now they're all busy fighting each other, and I'm afraid they'll call a truce soon. When they turn around and deal with us, I'm afraid there will be a fight!"
"What do you say, old general?" Shen Zhen still believed the old general. After all, he had fought in wars all his life, and his experience must be better than them, rookies!
Ling Xue flipped through the documents in her hand and replied without even looking up, "The old general told us not to worry. He's found allies. We don't need to be afraid of anyone who attacks us!"
Shen Zhen's frown didn't relax. He said with certainty, "There must be conditions, right?"
Ling Xue frankly explained to Shen Zhen, "Of course, how could there be no conditions? You also know that the court is not paying the soldiers any wages or rations. What are those soldiers going to eat? We are not short of food now. How can they just sit there and watch someone attack us? Not all forces are bandits!"
Ling Xue saw another application for building a warehouse in her hand and felt a little overwhelmed. It seemed that they didn't need to build so many warehouses, right?
After a closer look, we found out that they were used to store sweet potato vines and leaves. Everyone was afraid of being hungry, and these could be eaten as vegetables, so no one wanted to waste them.
Ling Xue still approved it, otherwise the things would be ruined sooner or later if there was no place to put them.
In this way, Ling Xue transferred some manpower to build warehouses, not only building warehouses on the ground, but also digging underground cellars.
