Almighty Nongmen Phoenix

Chapter 202;
Hearing this, Qiushuang and Qiuyu were slightly taken aback, a little confused, why should they stay away from the big tree, and there is still danger?

What's the danger? It's raining. Isn't it common to go under a tree to hide from the rain?
Although a little puzzled, Qiushuang still nodded, turned around and went down to explain.

This time the rain came very quickly, but within a few breaths, dense and heavy raindrops poured down.

Outside Zhuangzi, many of those disaster victims were standing in the rain, very happy, very happy.

The scope of the drought this time is not small. They fled from their hometown to the capital all the way, suffered so much and saw so many miserable places.

Although they were lucky enough to come to Lu Yaoyao's farm, they still prayed for rain day and night in their hearts during this time.

Soon, the people from the village came.

Lao Kang took the lead in announcing Lu Yaoyao's confession.

The disaster victims who were celebrating originally quieted down one after another, and cooperated with the people in the village to start their work.

About half an hour later, Qiushuang returned to the manor.

It was still raining outside at this time.

"Miss, everyone outside the village has been settled."

"Look at you, your clothes are all soaked, hurry up and change your clothes before coming back."

Qiushuang retreated.

Not long after I came back again, in the living room, I saw Lao Kang also coming.

"Qiu Shuang, how much money do we have now?"

"money?"

"There are still many more. I don't know the exact number, but there should be two to three hundred thousand taels."

At the beginning, Baizhenlou got [-] taels. Although they spent a lot of money during this period, the previous ones took a large amount of grain and transferred it to King Jin at the original price.

There was also a purchase of grain later, but at that time the price of grain had soared a lot, and the quantity was still small, and it didn't cost much.

"Haven't the price of food dropped yet?"

She nodded and looked at Lao Kang beside her.

"No, although it has started to rain in many places, the drought is so widespread that the court's food reserves have almost been exhausted."

"In the next period of time, the court will need to spend a lot of money and food for the follow-up resettlement of the victims."

"The resettlement of millions of disaster victims is not a small sum, and the court's food must not be enough."

If there is not enough food, we can only initiate purchases like the private sector.

Those aristocratic families haven't released the grain yet, maybe they are planning to sell the grain to the court at a high price.

This courage is really not small, since he dared to plot against the court.

It can also be seen from this that Dongzhou seems to be peaceful everywhere, but in fact there are many and big internal problems.

Take this drought as an example, the deterrent effect of those courts on those aristocratic families is very insufficient.

It can even be said that he was completely suppressed by the aristocratic family.

And there is absolutely no way to clean them up.

She could almost see that once the court ran out of food, it would inevitably seek help from the aristocratic family and buy food at a high price for disaster relief.

After all, if there is no food relief, it will be very scary if the millions of disaster victims riot.

As for mobilizing aristocratic families, especially at this juncture, the court would never dare.

Because the aristocratic families control a lot of the lifeline industries of Dongzhou, if the aristocratic families are disturbed, not only will they not lose food, but the aristocratic families will unite to intensify the riots of the victims.

Then the world will inevitably be in chaos.

This is the last thing the royal family wants to see, so this time, the royal family will definitely hold their noses and admit it.

"Is there no other food on the market now?"

The types of food in Dongzhou are too single, almost most of them are rice, and the planting technology is still very backward, and the annual yield per mu is very low.

Otherwise, the appearance of sweet potatoes and potatoes would not be regarded as a godsend.

"Aside from rice, there is also wheat."

"It's just that this wheat is really unpalatable."

"wheat?"

Lu Yaoyao's eyes lit up, but the next moment, she frowned.

Wheat is pretty good, why is it unpalatable?
"Yes, this wheat is not easy to cook, and it is very hard when cooked."

Well, she forgot that Dongzhou's cooking methods are very simple, and cooking is either boiled or steamed.

It was only after Baizhenlou made stir-fried vegetables that people slowly started to follow suit.

The wheat thing, as far as Dongzhou's cooking methods are concerned, it can't be said that it can't be eaten, but in terms of texture and feeding, it is definitely unpalatable.

"How much is this wheat per catty?"

"It's very cheap. Usually it's only 2 Wen a catty, but now the price has only increased to 3 or 4 Wen."

Lu Yaoyao smiled, this is too cheap.

"Is there a lot of wheat on the market now?"

"It's not much. It's worthless. It's definitely not going to be planted in those fertile fields, that is, it will be planted in those wastelands that have just been reclaimed."

"However, this thing is better and the rice can be planted a lot, so there will be a lot of harvest every year."

"Now you go and arrange people to buy all the wheat around."

Hearing this, Lao Kang and Qiushuang Qiuyu were a little confused.

Although there are not many people who grow wheat, there are still people who grow wheat every year. This stuff is not easy to sell, and there are many backlogs in their hands everywhere.

As far as the current survival of the grain shops in the surrounding villages and towns, there are at least [-] to [-] shi, not to mention [-] shi.

Even if it is cheap, there is no need to buy so many, right?
"It's such a good thing that no one uses it. It's a waste of money."

"Old Kang, hurry up and get people to act, and charge as much as you can."

When Lao Kang came back to his senses, he didn't respond, but asked, "Miss, are you really going to do this? It's not like there's no food right now, why do you need to buy so much wheat?"

"That's right, miss, it's raining now. Although there's a severe drought outside, the fields on our village haven't been affected."

"This thing is cheap, but you don't need to buy so many."

Qiu Yu also looked puzzled.

"You guys, do you really think that things will end with the rain?"

The three of them were startled, and saw Lu Yaoyao continued to laugh and said, "It's still early."

"Old Kang, you are not only going to buy wheat, you also need to buy a lot of chickens and ducks. Let's buy [-] to [-] chickens first."

"What?"

Lao Kang was dumbfounded again.

I don't understand at all what Lu Yaoyao is going to do.

Let’s forget about wheat, after all, it’s cheap, and it’s considered food, so if you keep it in your hands, it can be used as a contingency. Now that there are nearly [-] people in their village, the consumption of food will be huge.

I don't know exactly what the future will look like, but it's reasonable to be on guard now. Even if nothing happens later, the wheat can be used to raise pigs after a little extra effort.

But isn't this chicken and duck too much?

[-] to [-], those things also need to be fed, and some food is consumed every day.
