Chapter 709 The Plan to Make Money ([-])
"The flood goes all the way southward into the sea along the river, and Heyang Prefecture is considered the end of the lower reaches. The damage caused by the flood is not as good as that in the middle and upper reaches, and the damage is still small, so it has become a place where refugees gather and flee." Zhaolin said in a low tone, "I have walked all the way, All I see are dead people, and it’s not uncommon to eat them, and the leftover bones are thrown casually by the side of the road.”

Zhao Lin's description was unbearable, Qi Ke couldn't help but think of what he saw all the way south last year, endured a disgusting retching, took over the conversation, and quickly changed the subject.

"Compared with the middle and upper reaches of the state capital, the loss in Heyang Prefecture is small, but for the local people, the loss is not small at all. Just look at the prices of seeds, grain, fruit trees, seedlings, poultry and livestock related to farming. Just now The price of summer grain on the market is still high, but due to the impact of last year's flood, the grain production in the entire state is insufficient, and this year it will not return to the level of previous years. It depends on the situation next year. A natural disaster, just wait for the population and land to recover It takes two to three years for vitality."

Qi Ke's words did not mean to scare people at all. She has been engaged in farming for so long. Whether it is political textbooks or practical experience, she always has a little basic economic common sense. The price fluctuates around the value, and the market price reflects everything.

"That is to say, when the autumn grain comes down, the price of food may still not come down?" When it came to the food issue, the men present immediately drew their attention away from mentioning Zhao's background.

"You can have hope. After all, Heyang Prefecture was relatively least affected by the disaster, but the large number of refugees who flowed into the state caused damage to the production and life of the people in the state. I think it is unlikely that it will fully recover this year."

After all, Qi Ke has been in the farming business for almost a year, and the most traded things with the businessmen she cooperates with are related to agriculture. As long as a businessman comes to the village, he will definitely bring news from other places outside Donglin County. She just doesn’t travel far. It doesn't mean that she closed her eyes and listened. There are so many sufficient foreshadowings in front of her. What she said now is very credible, and it is not aimless.

"Refugees entering Heyang Prefecture are like locusts crossing the border. They strip away the unripe crops in other farmlands. The leaves and grass roots are stuffed into their mouths. The stripped trees wither and die one by one, and the mountains are bald. It will take a few years for the land to regain its fertility." Qi Ke twitched his lips when he thought of this possibility, "The damage caused by disorderly refugees is not much less than natural disasters."

The Bai family army went all the way from the north to the south, and came to the flooded land after the drought. The hell-like tragedy on earth has long been numb to the heart, and even immature children will no longer be scared to cry. But there is no nonsense, and at the same time, I am thinking about how much the military expenditure will be allocated to the purchase of grain if the grain production in the past few years does not return to the normal level of previous years.

"Refugees still need to be vigorously managed. Fortunately, there are not many refugees in Donglin County, and poor places have the benefits of poor places."

"That's the only benefit. There are very few people fleeing here."

"It is a good thing that there are fewer civilians in a military important place."

"It is."

During the chat, food was finally delivered from the inn, and the maids filed in with food boxes, opened the food boxes one by one on the side table, took out the plates inside and placed them on the round table, all in duplicate. The pot of sweet soup is placed in the middle, and the snack food divides the table into two, and you can just grab what you want to eat, so as not to stand up and reach for the opposite.
