To put it simply, as much ore is mined, as much food is provided. Without ore, there is no food!

"Yang Zhong! Tell me, will the resources on the island be developed in this way?"

After Yang Song finished discussing with a few people, he suddenly remembered those treasures overseas, so he asked directly.

"There will be more and more of these indigenous people, and overseas resources should be able to be exploited, right?"

Yang Zhong also thought about it, and cupped his hands to Yang Song and said: "What your Majesty said is true, but this way, the fleet led by Li Bao can only stay in the military port!"

Yang Song nodded, thinking that he only had a few warships, which could not be used to transport these natives, so the only ones left were the two transport ships that were about to be completed!

Once these two ships are completed, Li Bao's fleet can continue to explore northward and open up sea passages.

But he was jealous of the resources on the island, especially the guano island. Guano can be used to make gunpowder!

But there are two ships at sea, so we can't take care of both sides. This is really a dilemma for both sides!

"Your Majesty, in fact, opening up the sea channel is far less important than developing resources!" This is Chen Min, Shen Kuo's subordinate, who is responsible for improving agriculture.

There were still many people coming to this meeting. Except for the administrative officials under Yang Zhong, as well as Li Ji, Yang Ren and others who could not be present, everyone else came.

Chen Min continued: "The people of Xia have always used farmyard manure to grow food. Without fertilizer, the yield of food is not very satisfactory! I have been researching and found that after the bird droppings are sealed and decomposed, they become excellent fertilizers.

!”

Yang Song was surprised. He didn't expect that bird droppings could be used as fertilizer, so he quickly asked: "Is the production process difficult? How much will the grain output increase?"

"Back to you! The guano is decomposed in a closed state for one to three months. After fermentation, it can become an excellent fertilizer. However, when the fermentation is not sufficient, it is easy to attract cutworms, grubs, etc. when applied to the substrate.

Pest!”

"As for how much production can be increased~!" Chen Min thought for a while and said, "It's hard to say now. Only after testing can we know how many layers of production can be increased."

He was afraid that Yang Song didn't know the benefits of fertilizer, so he continued to explain: "But I estimate that the yield will be increased by at least three layers!"

At least three levels? Doesn’t that mean that the people recruited will also have three more levels? The development speed of Xia Kingdom will increase by at least three levels?

Yang Song calculated secretly, and now he had no choice but to choose, and he must choose to develop the island!

"Okay, Gu has decided to take the lead in developing Guano Island!" Yang Song made the decision directly!

"Let the shipyard speed up the construction. Don't add more unnecessary things. Complete the construction as soon as possible!"

Yang Song told Yang Zhong: "The next batch of prisoners will be escorted to Haijun Town and sent to Guano Island as soon as possible!"

"Yes, I obey!" Yang Zhong bowed and accepted the order.

Yang Song then ordered: "Add one thousand more militiamen and send them to the southern front. The first large-scale battle in the south is about to begin. By then, there will be more prisoners!"

…

Wang Da took the prisoners to the mines in the industrial town and handed them over to the militiamen here. After going home and resting for two days, he followed the captain to the granary to transport food again!

There were more people setting off this time. It seemed that a thousand militiamen were newly mobilized and ten more trucks of military rations were transported. Because I heard that there were too many prisoners and they needed to be escorted with all their strength, so they couldn't transport food for a while!

This time we started from Tianqi City and walked south for four days, and the stretch on the fourth day was the longest stretch Wang Da had ever walked!

After crossing an invisible boundary, you can see burned camps and scattered corpses scattered across the wilderness from time to time!

Some of these corpses are beyond recognition. Look at the scattered traces of being eaten, the bloody and broken limbs, and the fishy smell that comes from time to time!

Wang Dahe vomited, and the vomiting made the world turn upside down and the sky was dark and the earth was dark!

Not only him, but almost everyone else vomited. In the end, nothing could be vomited out, and he would retching!

Everyone was listless, their hands and feet were weak, and they couldn't walk. The last stretch of the journey, which should have taken less than half a day, took them a full day!

You get used to it after spitting it out, and it doesn't matter anymore when you look at it. I can only say that people are really adaptable!

Wang Dadu felt that his changes were really big. He used to kill chickens and ducks at most, but now he could be indifferent when he saw these corpses. He himself was a little scared!

Finally, he arrived at his destination before dark. It was too dark and he couldn't see very far, but there was a very strong smell of blood, which made him very confused!

Wang Da saw some injured soldiers in the camp. This was the first time he saw injured soldiers. He had never seen them before. It seemed that the battle this time was a bit fierce!

The next day, as soon as it got dark, several screams came from outside the tent from time to time, waking up Wang Da who had not slept peacefully!

He came outside the hood and saw some people standing in the distance, looking down, motionless!

The camps are all stationed on the hillside, still some distance from the battlefield.

Now he couldn't see down the hillside in the camp. He didn't know what the militiamen saw and were so surprised.

Wang Da quickly stepped forward and got out of a gap. Looking at the stunned expressions of these militiamen, he became even more curious and turned to look down the hillside!

At this moment, Wang Da's expression was no different from that of others, and he unconsciously shouted: "Oh my God~!"

What did he see! Wang Da didn’t know how to describe the scene he saw!

What on earth is that piled up into a hill?

He really doesn't want to see such a scene!

He really hopes this is all an illusion!

What he saw gave him a serious psychological shadow. If he couldn't get out of this psychological shadow, it would make his future life full of tragedies!

Gradually, I don’t know how long it took, until the sun rose high and shone a ray of light on him. The warm temperature of the sun made him slowly come back to his senses!

"What are you doing? Didn't you have breakfast? Hurry up and eat, you can start working after eating!" There was a loud shout from behind, and an unknown person was roaring at them at the camp gate.

When someone hears the word 'eat', they recall the white and red things they saw on corpses that had been eaten by wild beasts yesterday, and smell the bloody smell in the sky. Looking around, it seems that the whole world is filled with a trace of...

Silk, wisps of scarlet!

I couldn't bear it any longer, so I vomited again. One person vomited, just like a lit gunpowder keg, and everyone else followed suit!

But I didn’t eat anything yesterday, so how can I vomit it out now? Even bile and gastric juice can’t be vomited out!

Wang Da thought he had gone through the scene yesterday and nothing could make him vomit again, but now he was bent over like everyone else, holding his knees with one hand and pressing his chest with the other, retching and retching from his body.

The pain caused the tears in my eyes to flow uncontrollably!

But after vomiting like this and feeling the pain in his body, Wang Dacai felt that he was still alive. Although it was painful, it was better than becoming a member of the hill behind him!

But if he were asked to look back again, he really wouldn't dare to look!

Thinking about the strange-shaped limbs that are black and white, the black-red liquid flowing out of the hill all over the hillside, and the ubiquitous and extremely fishy smell!

He retched even more!
Chapter completed!
