Although Li Xiao introduced high-yielding crops such as corn and sweet potatoes, there was still not enough food in the north.

Corn, like millet and millet, are classified as coarse grains, and few people eat them on weekdays.

Everyone still likes to eat fine grains such as rice or flour.

Corn is very good and has a high yield. In Liaodong, most crops are grown in corn.

Only the fertile land on both sides of the Liao River can be grown in rice.

I have to say that the rice beside the Liao River is fragrant.

Especially the rice from places such as Mogouying and Dawa is fragrant when steamed, and is shiny when served in bowls.

Pour from one bowl to that bowl without touching the edge of the bowl at all.

Li Xiao couldn't help but think of the rice he ate back then.

"Stop at Shanhaiguan and let me take a look!" Li Xiao suddenly ordered.

"No!" Zhao Liangdong responded and went to the cockpit.

Shanhaiguan also has an airship landing site, but no one expected that the commander would suddenly fall from the sky.

When the prefect heard the news, he rushed to the airship landing site like a donkey that had been hit by an arrow.

However, they found that the airship landing area was already empty of people. After asking, they found out that the commander had gone to the dock.

The prefect and his party hurried to the dock again.

Li Xiao was walking on the pier, and the sea breeze mixed with the fishy smell of the sea hit his face.

It’s still a familiar smell, and it’s also a familiar sea.

Next to the pier is a seafood market, and you can smell the fishy smell just tens of meters away.

Although he likes Bohai seafood, Li Xiao is still not sensitive to these places.

A group of guys in military uniforms with stars on their shoulders.

All the school officers, lieutenants, and generals were all alive, and the guard at the gate had already gone numb with fear.

There is a military academy in the city of Shanhaiguan, and I see a lot of officers. But I really don't see many of them in such a big battle.

There are only three or four general officers. There are usually five to six school officers, but now they are only equipped to carry bags.

What kind of character is this?

Several officers only dared to watch from a distance and did not dare to come forward at all.

Li Xiao waved his hand, indicating that no one would follow him.

This battle must have frightened the people.

To understand the sentiments of the people is to listen to what the people have to say.

The attendants could only wait at the door, with Shunzi, Li Lin, and Zhao Liangdong following behind Li Xiao.

With these guys following, Li Xiao had nothing to do.

We can only take them into the pier together!

A guy in a robe was standing in front of a ten-ton truck, watching the workers loading the goods.

"Oh, this car is quite impressive." Li Xiao patted the shiny car body.

"That's right, in this Shanhaiguan city, my husband is also in the top spot.

Such a big truck,

My husband bought five cars at one time."

The man in the long gown clearly admired his master, and he was full of pride when he spoke.

"Five trucks! What a big deal." Li Xiao nodded. He was indeed a wealthy family who could buy five large trucks at once.

"That's...!"

"Come on?" Li Xiao casually took out a box of cigarettes, took out one and gave it to the man in the long gown.

"Yo...! Hua Zi."

When the man in the long gown saw the smoke, his eyes lit up.

These days, it's rare to see a man who can easily take out a box of silver dollars.

"Oh, the younger generations in the family are filial." Li Xiao turned around and pointed at Zhao Liangdong.

In fact, Li Xiao doesn't usually smoke. He usually smokes cigars.

They struck a match and lit cigarettes.

The relationship got closer in an instant!

"Brother, your last name is yours!"

"The surname is Li, what do you call me?"

"Oh, just call me Mr. Zhang.

You will know everything when you go to this pier."

"Are all these grain ships coming from the south?"

"Where! These are all going to be transported to the south." Zhang Laohao pointed to a large load of sacks on the truck.

"Ship it to the south?" Li Xiao was stunned.

It has always been the south-to-north diversion of grain, but now it is reversed, with grain from the north going south.

"They are all good corn, some from Liaodong and some from Hebei.

The grains are plump, definitely the best food."

"Why do people in the south want so much corn from us? I've been to the south and they all eat rice. Is it possible that they eat corn now?"

"I said Brother Li, you don't know this.

We call the rice grown in the south indica rice. It tastes like wood residue and is not delicious!

In the Shanhaiguan and Gyeonggi area, the rice we eat now is Liaodong rice. When steamed, it smells fragrant and is much better than the rice in the south.

These corns have to be transported south to feed pigs."

"Feed the pigs?"

"No, now our Ming Dynasty is also rich.

Even pigs can eat grain!

I remember when I was a kid, I used to fucking eat pig food.

Now..., haha!"

"When I was a child, I also had a hard time."

"It's a good time. We have Marshal Li in Ming Dynasty, so we can live a good life."

As he was talking, a sack suddenly spread out.

Round soybeans rolled out of it!

"I'm going to kill you, so be careful. If you break another bag, all your wages for today will be deducted."

Mr. Zhang is obviously not a very talkative person.

He pointed at the one who had scattered the sack and shouted loudly.

"Brother Zhang, what are you doing with so many soybeans?" Li Xiao was also surprised why all the soybeans he brought off the ship were soybeans.

"Soybeans are produced in Heilongjiang and shipped to us for oil extraction.

It looks like you have been hanging out for many years!

You don’t know, we don’t eat pork fat anymore, we only eat soybean oil, which is the oil squeezed from soybeans.

We ate the oil, and the remaining bean cake dregs were fed to either the horses or the donkeys.

Some people even use it to feed pigs!”

"Heilongjiang, also come by boat?"

"No, we boarded the ship from Vladivostok in the Ming Dynasty, drove along the sea, and drove all the way to Shanhaiguan.

I heard that Heilongjiang is so wide that freighters can also travel on the river.

Look at the yellow sailors on that boat."

Li Xiao looked up and saw that there were indeed several yellow-haired sailors.

These guys were shirtless, showing off all their muscles.

Under the sun, the white color is a bit dazzling.

"And Huang Maozi?"
