The severe drought sweeping through the eight provinces of North China had already had signs as early as the end of 1940.

The annual precipitation in 41 years is 32.4% lower than the average annual precipitation.

The dry land is also known as a natural petri dish for eggs.

Although many canals in the fields were built last year, the drought in early 42 was still very noticeable.

By March 42, there was still no rain in the eight provinces of North China, which had already marked that last year's winter wheat harvest was basically exhausted, and grain prices began to rise.

This time of the year is also the time when landlords should lend usury.

At this time, the millet from last summer should have been eaten, and the winter wheat has not been confiscated, basically in a state of incomplete harvest.

This year's situation is even more serious. Judging from the current situation, the hope of planting millet in the early summer of this year is gone. In other words, it will take at least the summer of 43 to harvest grain.

This is a very scary estimate, because no one knows whether the drought will continue. What if the drought is still dry in the winter of 43?

Lu Feng, who was training in Lingnan, received one telegram after another.

Why does this matter have anything to do with Lu Feng?

Because Lufeng claimed the control of the national railway before the Guizhou battle, and at that time it was for the war to transport the country's supplies.

But this power will not be withdrawn until the war is completely won.

So before the Burma campaign ended, Lu Feng had the final say.

Food must be transported by railway, so I have to notify Lu Feng.

Lu Feng sat in the office and read the telegram, and smiled maliciously.

Zhao Gang sat on the other side and asked: "Old Lu, what's the matter, your smile is not very good."

"What bad idea are you thinking?"

Lu Feng handed the telegram to Zhao Gang: "Someone intends to resell grain to North China."

At this time, the three major reforms have not yet been carried out, and there is still no express legal restriction on this large-scale buying and selling.

Zhao Gang immediately sensed something was wrong: "Will this cause confusion?"

Lu Feng said relaxedly: "Have you forgotten that we built so many granaries in Northwest Shanxi?"

"Those grains are basically full."

"Not only that, but also the granary in the Northeast."

When Lufeng calculated the 42-year grain harvest last year, he forgot an important thing.

In the Northeast, it is cultivated once a year, and it is too cold in winter to build a greenhouse.

Lu Feng hadn't touched this kind of basic knowledge for too long, and he had completely forgotten it.

It's just that it doesn't matter, take advantage of the winter to clean up the jungle and reclaim the land next spring.

In fact, Lu Feng really didn't intend to let Northeast grow things in the first year.

Land reclamation is a very troublesome thing, and it is generally impossible to produce food without tossing around for a few years.

Zhao Gang asked with some concern: "If the drought in North China is really so severe, is the food in Jinzhou alone enough?"

Lu Feng nodded: "Don't worry about this, Jinzhou's food is used to prepare for the next world war, so it's not a big problem."

"And with the end of the war, the entire middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, Sichuan and Chongqing can mobilize grain."

"We are also developing farming here."

Lu Feng also wanted to say that it was impossible, the food in his own system could feed people all over the world for several years.

After Lu Feng finished speaking, he wrote a telegram and sent it to the General Staff.

The content on Telegram is simple.

First, merchants are allowed to bring grain to North China, but they are not allowed to take it away.

Second, remember to collect money, the price is based on the market price of the day, try to charge as much as you can.

Third, do not move the granaries of the three provinces of Shanxi, Chahar and Hebei and the main granaries of the Northeast granary for the time being, in case of emergency.

Fourth, secretly concentrate the grain from the granaries in the two lakes, Sichuan and Chongqing regions.

The large-scale drought in North China will inevitably lead to the scarcity of food and the soaring price.

Before there are three major transformations, it is still allowed to buy and sell materials.

It's just that bulky materials like food are either ships or trains.

As for where did these grains come from?

Are the remnants of these comprador groups worried about not being able to get food?

It's okay to do business, let's kill the comprador group first. After all, these people's bottom line is too flexible, and if something happens, they don't know what will happen.

Not only these compradors, but also a lot of guys who think they are intellectuals.

For example: Tian Yu is like her father.

When he first appeared, he kept attacking Mao Xiong, and then he was caught in the year after Li Yunlong was awarded the title.

What happened the year after Li Yunlong was awarded the title?

Oh, it turned out that Huaxia and Maoxiong broke up.

A person who criticized Mao Xiong for the first time was arrested because of the breakup between Huaxia and Mao Xiong. This year's ideological changes are drastic enough.

Isn't this just like those guys who brag about Vietnam, they just make trouble for the sake of making trouble.

As for Lu Feng's thoughts, the boss can see what Lu Feng wants to do at a glance. This is a backhand card. Watch how the enemy plays, and then wait for the opportunity to move.

The boss thought for a while with the telegram before picking up the phone to call Lu Feng.

As soon as Lu Feng received the call, the boss on the other end asked with some doubts: "Lu Feng, isn't it a little radical for you to do this? We don't have any evidence that they are going to do this."

Lu Feng replied: "Boss, if you try to speculate on the enemy with the worst intentions, you will suffer losses, so be prepared."

"Businessmen with sufficient profits will always take risks. We must ensure food security."

The boss agreed with Lu Feng's plan: "Okay, I agree with you to do this, remember to contact me anytime."

The boss remembered one more thing: "By the way, Lu Feng, aren't you training fighters in Lingnan now? How is the training going?"

Lu Feng briefly explained: "Huoxiang is very useful in overcoming the acclimatization of the soil and water."

"Anti-mosquito medicine is okay, but if the insects eat too much, they will become resistant to the medicine. We decided to kill some of them physically and some biologically!"

"Sunscreens are almost improved now. Soldiers will not get sunburned when training on the beach, but the waterproof effect is not good enough."

"Air conditioning in tanks and infantry fighting vehicles is a bit of a hassle, but we're working on it."

"Ah?" The boss's face was full of question marks, didn't he mean adaptive training?

Co-authorship refers to equipment adaptive training?

Lufeng's idea is full of Mechanicism flavor, the purpose is to let technology help mankind to solve all the problems currently facing.

The problem of training is still going on, but with the active help of Lufeng, the grain began to concentrate in Shandong and Henan, and the price of grain also started to rise as expected.

The price of food has doubled nearly twenty times in a week.

Before Lu Feng called the boss, the boss took the initiative to call Lu Feng: "Lu Feng, what about the plan you told me?"

Lu Feng said calmly: "The grains from the thirteen provinces that can be used on a large scale across the country are already on the way, and the first batch will arrive tomorrow morning."
