Traveling through ancient times.

Chapter 178 Countermeasures

Xiao Tongzi paused for a long time and couldn't help but add: "However, this freezing period did not drop to dozens of degrees below zero suddenly, but dropped slowly. From what I have deduced, there is probably a buffer period of about two years. After five years, the temperature will drop to the lowest, and then gradually rise again..."

"Two years..." Jiang Yizhou tightened his cloak, "Then use these two years to grow as much food and cotton and linen as possible, and store firewood and carbon."

So far, she has established farms in more than 300 counties in more than ten provinces across the country.

The vast majority of them were people with certain experience who were sent from their original farms to guide construction and production.

These farms were basically built around the time when the new emperor ascended the throne. It has been half a year now, and it is only now that the farm model has been built and various improved crops have been promoted.

How much food can be stored in two years?

Jiang Yizhou walked to the dock at this moment and was checking the movement of the goods.

And in his mind he was thinking about how to prepare the farm for the next natural disaster.

According to her original plan, most of the food was stored, but the time of accumulation was too short and it could not meet the needs of so many people for five years.

So, a method had to be found to allow production in completely freezing weather conditions.

——Greenhouse.

The most important condition for a greenhouse: plastic film.

This thing doesn't exist in this era, not even in Xiaotongzi's exchange mall.

After all, Xiao Tongzi's exchange mall is based on real productivity.

Now she has not found rubber trees or oil, so naturally, she cannot exchange the related processing and refining technologies.

Her original plan was to first increase the world's crop production capacity so that everyone could have food to eat and clothes to wear.

Then came steel smelting technology, gunpowder, steam engines, etc., which gradually brought this society into the industrial age.

And now, she had just established cooperation with the imperial court and was finally able to exchange the steel smelting technology, but she did not expect that the world would face several years of freezing disasters.

Therefore, the most urgent task at present is not how to improve production levels, but how to overcome the difficulties caused by natural disasters in recent years.

Jiang Yizhou immediately decided to have hundreds of farms across the country adjust their direction immediately - to ensure that the next one or two seasons of crops are harvested and expanded the glass and iron workshops.

All the smelted steel and glass are fully used in the construction of the glass house.

That’s right, the only thing Jiang Yizhou can think of that can replace the plastic film greenhouse is the glass house.

The advantage of plastic film is that it keeps heat in while allowing sunlight to shine in, allowing crops to carry out photosynthesis.

Without plastic, we can only use glass, which is light-transmitting and can also keep heat to a certain extent.

In fact, the colored glaze workshop in Jiang Yizhou's farm, in addition to a small part in the beginning that produced some handicrafts such as bottles and jars, was intended to make some money from the powerful.

Later, as farms were built on a large scale in various places, when she applied glass windows to the construction of new farmhouses, it became unstoppable.

Therefore, most of the glass produced in glass workshops at present is flat glass.

Jiang Yizhou also gave guidance to technical workers and taught them the technology of special glass, and now they are able to produce tempered glass.

This kind of glass is strong enough to be used to build a "sunroom".

However, this amount is not enough to build large-scale sunrooms across the country, and the production scale must be expanded.

Jiang Yizhou acted decisively and immediately conveyed the future production and development directions of all the farms through Wei Ke's information channels. In less than four days, it was conveyed to the person in charge of each farm.

Most of the managers of these farms came from Yunshan and Tianshui. Although they were surprised that Mr. Jiang made such a decision, they still strictly implemented it.

After Jiang Yizhou arranged the most urgent matters, he saw that there were less than 10,000 merit points left in his account.

All other technical drawings are suspended.

However, the bigger her business is now, the faster she accumulates merits, sometimes hundreds or even thousands a day - this depends on how many poor people the farms in various places have rescued and provided them with a place to live.

...After Jiang Yizhou readjusted her farm, she thought about it and realized that the next natural disaster was related to the survival of the entire Zhou Kingdom. She could not leak it casually. If ordinary people knew about it, it would only cause panic in advance, and then be exploited by others, leading to chaos.

But such things should be revealed a little to the new emperor, at least to make him support himself in political orders.

She was thinking about how to phrase it in her study so that the other party would pay attention to the worsening weather without revealing her trump card...

Seeing that Zhou Zhou was still struggling with the issue of whether to expose himself or not, Xiao Tongzi couldn't help but say, "Just like you said before, with your current prestige, financial resources, and military power, even if you stand on the street and say that you are a time traveler, who can do anything to you? Instead, those people will be more convinced that you are an immortal from heaven..."

After being scolded by Xiao Tongzi, Jiang Yizhou suddenly became enlightened.

Yes, I keep bringing out so many things, not to mention all kinds of high-quality crops, but also technologies that are ahead of this era.

Anyone with a little bit of common sense knows that he has a huge treasure in his hands. It is precisely because they value me for this, or rather, fear this, that they give me a more relaxed political environment.

After figuring this out, Jiang Yizhou quickly wrote the secret letter and put it in a secret compartment next to him.

She stood up and let out a long breath. Now, she had done everything she could think of and do. What happened next was up to God.

Button button——

Just then, there was a hurried knock on the door.

Jiang Yizhou frowned slightly, she had already sensed the presence of a human.

He said quickly: "Come in——"

Liao Qi, the head of the logistics department, pushed the door open eagerly and strode to Jiang Yizhou's desk.

"Master, it's not good..."

Jiang Yizhou glanced at the man in front of him. Over the past few years, he has become much more mature - more experienced, and now his face is full of anxiety.

"What happened?"

Liao Qi's eyes turned red: "Master, our caravan was robbed and killed in Mangshan..."

Jiang Yizhou's hand holding the ginseng tea trembled slightly, then he calmly placed it on the table, "How many people? How are they doing now?"

Liao Qi, "This time we were transporting cotton and sugarcane seeds, with a total of more than 80 vehicles and more than 100 escort personnel. In addition, there were other small tradesmen caravans following us, more than 200 people, all of them died... Only a few escaped..."
