Chapter 1810 Frowning
Chapter 1810 Frowning
Chen Changli felt very heavy as he glanced at the panic-stricken people one by one. This was because he, as a person who had experienced it personally, could not describe in words how cruel war was, let alone the people affected by the war.
"Let them go to Yongzhou City." Chen Changli thought for a long time before making this decision. Then he rushed back to Yongzhou City under the stars and informed the prince of what was happening in the outside world.
The prince's face was full of bitterness: "Although I had guessed this day would come, I didn't expect it to come so soon."
Chen Changli's face was solemn: "I feel the same way, but the situation has become so urgent. All we can do is face the challenge head-on."
"Let's talk about it after the autumn harvest." The prince understood what he meant and gave an answer after weighing the pros and cons.
Chen Changli said that after knowing why he chose the autumn harvest, it was nothing more than wanting to confirm the situation of good varieties.
If the good varieties really have high yields, they can use them to feed many people, and then there will be no shortage of logistics.
"I'll go find Shufang and see if we can solve the opium problem. If we can, the food will be enough to sustain us for a while." After Chen Changli finished speaking, he said goodbye to the prince and quickly came to Wan Shufang to tell her about the matter. He calmed down and said, "I've checked. Opium didn't infiltrate much."
"Take me to see it quickly." Wan Shufang didn't expect Su Haoran and his friends to be so stupid. That was food that could save lives!
How could they do this? It's really hateful.
The more Wan Shufang thought about it, the angrier she became, but she didn't bother to scold them because solving the problem was the most important thing.
The couple quickly came to the food contaminated by opium and found that there was a lot of food. If all of it was contaminated, they would not be able to save it no matter what they did.
"Chen Changli, bring some people over to help." Wan Shufang was horrified when she saw opium in the food.
She took a deep breath, suppressed her panic, and began to check one by one.
Chen Changli went back to find people, and soon brought a hundred people to help.
With everyone's concerted efforts, the grain was unloaded. Wan Shufang spent a day and a night checking it and felt there was one thing to be thankful for.
That is, some bags of grain did not contain opium. Apparently the project was too large, so those who followed orders tacitly did a superficial job.
She told Chen Changli the good news, and took people to move the grain away. Only then did she start to think about getting rid of the opium.
After thinking for a long time, she thought of the windmill, and quickly asked someone to find a carpenter to make a windmill. She put the rice aside, then grabbed a handful and put it into the hospital space for testing with medical equipment.
The results came out quickly, and it was discovered that the surface of the rice was stained with opium, which was difficult to remove. Wan Shufang was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
Chen Changli had been by her side the whole time. Seeing that she looked very mad, he quickly took her aside and gently comforted her, "Shufang, don't panic. Even if there is a problem with this part, we still have some food available."
Wan Shufang was annoyed when he heard him comfort her like this: "That number is only half of what it should be. It can't even support 100,000 people for half a month, but Yongzhou City has a million people."
She paused for a moment and then said, "Although this amount of food is just a drop in the bucket, it's still a drop in the bucket. How can we give it up?"
Food is precious and she really doesn't want to give it up.
Chen Changli understood her thoughts, and he worked with her to think of a solution, and then made a suggestion: "Can we clean it with water? Then use some medicine to remove the opium remaining on the surface."
"Let me try it first." Wan Shufang didn't dare to guarantee it, so she could only try it first. After a day, she tested it again and found that the pollution had weakened.
She was pleasantly surprised and then began to research drugs that could inhibit remaining pollution.
This research took half a month. Wan Shufang worked day and night and finally developed a medicinal powder, which she used immediately.
However, just in case, she did a test every two days for half a month, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she was sure there was no problem.
"These grains can be used." Wan Shufang told Chen Changli the good news, but found that his face was not very good, so she asked quickly, "What's wrong with you?"
Chen Changli didn't want to tell her what happened and make her worry, but seeing her concerned face, he didn't want to hide it, so he said: "The Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince have joined forces and occupied a city in the northwest."
The eighth prince is the weakest. If he surrenders to the crown prince, it will only cause trouble for the crown prince, so Chen Changli does not want the crown prince to accept him.
But when he heard that the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince had joined forces to capture a city, he felt very uneasy.
Wan Shufang was very smart. She knew what he was thinking from the tone of his voice. "You are worried that if the two of them join forces, the prince will be at a disadvantage."
Chen Changli hesitated for a moment and then nodded: "I do have such concerns. After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still has to solve the problem of food before he can officially join the game."
"If the food problem is not solved, he will be dragged down by more and more people."
Having said this, Chen Changli mentioned that there was a war outside and many people were fleeing to the south.
"Yongzhou City is located in the southwest. It has a strategic location and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Many smart people will come here."
"What's more, the incident in Fulu Town has also spread. Everyone knows that the prince is related to this incident and occupies Yongzhou City. If they clearly understand the prince's situation, they will definitely drive the people here."
"In the past month, I have found that more and more people have come here, so we think the food shortage is even more serious. The people in Yongzhou City have realized this and are now eating porridge."
During the time when Wan Shufang was researching drugs, Chen Changli was also very busy, so he also knew a lot about the situation outside and was very worried.
Wan Shufang couldn't bear it when she saw this, so she looked around and found that there was no one there. But for safety reasons, she still took Chen Changli back to the room and then brought him into the hospital space.
"How do you think we should get these hot meals out? Oh, there is rice here, but the quantity is not much. But you also know the characteristics of hospital space. As long as you take the rice out, it will be replicated after a period of time."
After hearing what she said, Chen Changli took her to walk through the entire kitchen, and then took out various hot foods and rice to weigh them.
After determining the exact weight, Chen Changli immediately calculated it, and soon he said with a bitter face: "The quantity is too small. If we move it again and again, it will take us half a year to move the amount needed by one million people."
Wan Shufang looked worried when she heard this.
Seeing this, Chen Changli quickly spoke to comfort her: "Shufang, don't worry too much. The Crown Prince and I have sent people to collect food outside. It won't be long before we have good news."
Wan Shufang was filled with melancholy: "Even if we collect them, can you guarantee that they can be safely transported to Yongzhou City?"
