honor me as god

Chapter 536
As soon as Du Mingwei's words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became a little delicate.

Bolton narrowed his eyes and asked coldly, "Du Mingwei, what are you singing with me?"

Du Mingwei looked puzzled, and asked respectfully, "What exactly does His Royal Highness mean?"

Bolton sneered, mercilessly: "You businessmen don't get up early without profit. You are everywhere where you can make money, and you hide everywhere where you can't make money. Now that Danyu City is facing a famine, why don't you hurry up and take your money with you?" Going to seek refuge in another place, but instead distributing all the family property, would you do such a kind deed without return?"

Du Mingwei couldn't help smiling, leaning forward and said: "Your Highness's words may be biased. It's true that a businessman like me likes money, but money is something that you don't bring with you when you are born or die. The core is not to make money for the sake of making money, but how to make good use of it after making money to give back to your hometown and compatriots.”

"Now Danyu City is in trouble. As the richest man in Danyu City and a representative of hundreds of noble families, I have as much responsibility as I have. I contribute my strength to this and give back the family property I earn to my compatriots around me. I don't think It's something hard to understand."

Bolton is very straightforward, as long as he has preconceived ideas and doesn't believe you, anything you say is fart, especially the kind of good-sounding words.

It is said that there is no business and no evil, Du Mingwei can become the richest man in Danyu City, Bolton doesn't think he is a kind person.

Now that Du Mingwei said something like this, Bolton smiled shortly, pretending to be generous and said: "Okay, Mr. Du Mingwei is so responsible, if I don't show it, it would be too dishonest. How about it, I will give you a reward." -"

Bolton reached out and poked the land deed on the table, his tone became extremely cold: "The honor of being the first one to sign will be rewarded to you today. Come here and sign your name, and hand over the ownership of the land you contracted in Danyu Plain .”

Aristocrats, look at me, I look at you, the richest man, Du Mingwei, has been punished like this, and they think they can't escape, so they can only hang their heads sadly.

On the other hand, Du Mingwei, without any hesitation, went to the table and picked up the quill.

However, he did not sign directly, but held a pen and asked respectfully: "Your Highness, as long as you order, I can sign this word at any time. But before signing, may I ask you a few questions?"

Leaving aside whether Du Mingwei is a scumbag or not, at least his attitude is still polite, so Bolton shook his hand and motioned him to continue.

Du Mingwei nodded and said, "After we sign the agreement, all the farmland in Danyu Plain will be owned by the royal family. What do you plan to do with it?"

Bolton snorted: "Ask the question knowingly. Wangcheng has issued an order long ago, requiring the Danyu Plain to pull out the straw and replant the blood essence grass, but you have not acted for a long time. Since you are not decent, I can only help you Decent."

Du Mingwei sighed, and his voice was a little faint: "Your Highness really misunderstood us. It's not that we are unwilling to cooperate with Wangcheng. We have already started preparing to implement the administrative order when the relief food arrived, but you also know later, A fire broke out in the granary during the Dragon Fire Festival, and all the relief food and daily stocks were wiped out.”

"Then I would like to ask His Royal Highness, there is a famine in the city now, and the food is exhausted, and everyone is waiting for this season's mature wheat to save their lives. If we pull out the unripe wheat stalks at this time, what will everyone do?" Have a meal?"

Bolton: "The Guards didn't come empty-handed this time. In order to raise food for you, my second brother didn't sleep for several days and nights. He was so tired that he collapsed. The food he raised can be used for your emergency."

Du Mingwei: "Excuse me, how much food did the Guards Corps bring?"

Bolton: "36 tons."

Du Mingwei took a blank piece of paper from the table, and while writing the formula, he said, "Let me do a calculation problem for Your Highness—"

"Now is the "winter" season, and cities around the world are relying on the surplus grain from the autumn harvest. In recent years, the weather has been bad, and the harvest cost has been poor. It is good that cities around the world can maintain their local daily operations, and there is no way to transport excess grain. To Danyu City. "

"That is to say, counting from now on, next year's "Dilu" season will be sown in various places, and "God's Blessing" season will be harvested in various places. Before that, it is difficult for Danyu City to get external support and can only rely on itself. "

"According to the standard required for daily food and clothing, we calculate on the basis of 1 catty of grain per person per day. There are 600 million people in Danyu City, which means that we need 600 million catties of grain every day, or 6000 tons."

"This situation will continue until next year's "God's Blessing" season, which is 8 months and 240 days. The total food required is 144 million tons-this is the minimum standard, not counting the needs of pregnant women and patients. special care groups. "

"Danyu City needs a total of 144 million tons of grain to survive the famine, but His Royal Highness only brought 36 tons of grain, which is still not a fraction. If you calculate it this way, wouldn't three-quarters of the people in Danyu City be hungry? die?"

Bolton obviously fell silent. After a while, he turned his face to the side and said expressionlessly, "You guys eat the 36 tons first, and they will be shipped later."

Du Mingwei said directly: "How? From where? There is no place in the kingdom like the Danyu Plain that can be cultivated all year round like the Danyu Plain. It is impossible to have new grain production before the "God's Blessing" season next year. "

"Furthermore, I learned from the chamber of commerce that the Far East Dynasty has recently cut off all trade routes with Dokrand, even food is not exported to us."

"In other words, during these eight months, the kingdom has no source of food at all, and cities around the world can only consume their own food reserves. If this is the case, where will His Royal Highness go to raise follow-up food? Confiscate their homes? Confiscate all the nobles in Danyu City. Have all the food in stock been copied?"

Bolton twitched his face, his eyes were cold: "So what?"

Du Mingwei shook his head slightly, and continued to write the formula on the paper: "It's still a calculation problem. According to the economic situation of the nobles in Danyu City, on average, the food stored in each noble's house can feed 1000 people for 8 months."

"There are hundreds of noble families in Danyu City. You ransacked all their homes and took away all the stored food, that is, to feed an extra 10 people. Compared to the total of 600 million, this is just a drop in the bucket."

Bolton stared at Du Mingwei coldly, and asked in a deep voice, "Then what do you mean?"

"In such a situation where there is no surplus food inside and no supply outside, there is only one place to fill such a huge food gap." Du Mingwei opened the map of Danyu City hanging on the wall, pointing to the vast wilderness outside the city, Say four words, "Danyu Plain."

"Only the wheat that is about to ripen in the Danyu Plain can save the 600 million people in Danyu City." Du Mingwei faced Bolton, knelt down on one knee and bowed his head to the ground, and his passionate voice resounded throughout the conference room, "His Royal Highness, please The people are the most important thing, give them the hope of living!"

Officials such as Ge Mai and Lin Gengsen, as well as the nobles present all knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "Your Highness, please put the people first!"
