Destiny Only Han

Chapter 47 Artifacts
Xia Houying held up a round cake and looked at Xiao He: "Could it be that these hundred soldiers are eating this kind of round cake these days?"

Xiao He put down the teacup and shook his head slightly: "What they eat is bread without meat filling, but the broth is enough."

After all, it was just a group of ordinary soldiers, and it was impossible for them to be full of flesh.

Xia Houying nodded: "I understand..."

Liu Bang swallowed the food in his mouth, looked at Xiao He and asked, "If the Qin army invades now, does our army have enough food?"

Xiao He raised the round cake in his hand: "Isn't this the food of our army?"

Seeing Han Wangcheng, Zhang Liang was a little puzzled, so he explained, "My lord knows, how much is a stone of corn in Yingchuan County worth?"

Han Wangcheng shook his head slightly. Although he is not living a luxurious life, at least he has enough food and clothing. He has neither time nor opportunity to go shopping on weekdays. Naturally, he does not know the price of food.

Zhang Liang chuckled and said, "Yingchuan County is rich, corn is six hundred renminbi a stone, rice is the same price, but wheat is only a hundred renminbi a stone, and beans are even cheaper, at seventy renminbi a stone."

Han Wangcheng nodded slightly, but his face was full of doubts. What does the price of grain on the market have to do with grain storage?
Xiao He said: "Thanks to my apprentice's inspiration, wheat costs one stone and one hundred renminbi, so we can buy wheat from grain merchants at a price of 150 renminbi per stone. It was continuously transported from various places to Yingchuan County."

"And when they return, we will sell the millet and rice in stock to them at a price of [-] renminbi per stone. After all, the price of millet outside Yingchuan County is more than [-] renminbi, and in Xin Before a season of grain is harvested, grain prices will only continue to rise."

"By going in and out like this, our army's food reserves have at least tripled. Waiting for autumn, it's no problem to feed [-] troops!"

Although wars are everywhere now, traders who are able to manage food have backers behind them. In many cases, they can swagger through the blockade between the two armies and sell their own grain storage to the party that can afford the high price.

In particular, many counties in the south of Yingchuan County were mostly conquered by the Chu State, and a small part of them just occupied the city for self-defense, and those grain merchants were naturally rampant.

What Xiao He didn't say was that Liu Ying also said that day, when the grain merchants from all over the country came to hear the news, they would immediately lower the price of purchasing wheat to less than one hundred yuan. Anyway, when the time came, some people would beg themselves purchase!
Party A is so capricious!
Although Xiao He didn't know what Party A was, as an old man in the officialdom, as Liu Ying said, he was nothing more than pediatrics. He had the means to buy more food with less money!
In troubled times, it is not wealth that determines status, but how many troops you have under your command!
Liu Bang pondered for a while, he didn't have any doubts about Xiao He's ability, since Xiao He made a vow and Zhang Liang didn't object, it must be right!

Since you are right, do what they say immediately!

It's just that he still has another doubt, that is how to quickly cultivate farmland and rush to grow crops.

Although he has been idle for many years, he still knows how to do farm work.

Farming is the hardest and most important part.

Han Wangcheng was worried about the same thing. After all, Yingchuan County is the land of South Korea. If more fertile land is opened up, the ultimate beneficiary will be him, the king of South Korea!

Xiao He looked at Zhang Liang who was deep in thought, a slight sense of superiority appeared on his face.

The teacher who ranks first is better than the teacher who ranks second!

He took out a roll of cloth from his arms and handed it to Liu Bang: "What is painted on it is the Quyuan plow and the columbine cart that my apprentice called Shennong bestowed by Shennong! The former can be pulled by only two people. The latter is a kind of sowing equipment, with these two things, the manpower can be saved more than ten times!"

Liu Bang took it with suspicion, only felt that the cloth was silky to the touch, and based on his experience, it was top grade!

"spendthrift……"

He muttered softly, unfolded it and looked at it, and found that although the figure drawn on it was already very realistic, he didn't seem to understand it...

The embarrassment on Liu Bang's face flashed, and he looked at Xiao He and asked: "Is there a finished product, is it true that it saves ten times the manpower as Yinger said?"

Xiao He nodded and said with a smile: "About half a month ago, the first pair of Quyuanli was made. The old man tested it himself, and it was really extraordinary! Immediately, he asked people to mobilize all the craftsmen in the county to try their best to imitate it. gone."

In his opinion, compared with the previous plows, the biggest advantage of the Quyuan plow is that it can be pulled by manpower even if there are no cattle.

But what Yingchuan County lacks now is the farming cattle!

After all, the plowshare in the past required two cows to pull it together!
Liu Bang asked: "Who is in charge of supervising the construction?"

Xiao He chuckled and said, "My apprentice said that if the fertilizer and water don't flow into outsiders' fields, such a major event that benefits the country and the people is naturally in charge of the big farmer Lu Ze."

Well, this is the official position that Liu Ying persuaded Xiao He to seek for Lu Ze. In name, he is a courtier of Han Wangcheng.

In Liu Ying's view, Lu Ze didn't need to go to the battlefield at all, and risked his death on the battlefield under the constraints of the world line to make military achievements.

As his own uncle, is it difficult to obtain a mere Marquis?
Hearing that his uncle was in charge of supervising the construction, Liu Bang first nodded in satisfaction, then shook his head, telling Lu Ze to do this, he was overqualified.

Han Wangcheng on the side also nodded with satisfaction. Although the money for the farm tools was spent in South Korea, the harvested food should be distributed to the Chu army for enjoyment.

However, the Chu army is always going to leave. They can't go together with the farm tools on their backs, can they?
Suddenly, Liu Bang remembered what Xiao He said just now. Half a month ago, the first pair of Qu Yuanli was built...

In other words, that little bastard never told himself!
In his eyes, he still has his own father?
Liu Bang was sucking his teeth, planning that one day Mr. Liu would go out to go to the market, and he would beat up that brat to vent his anger!

King Han, who was sitting upright, said with emotion: "The Marquis of Wu'an has such a unicorn, which is really enviable!"

He has also become a father a long time ago, but the three sons in the family are submissive on weekdays, and it makes people upset when they look at it.

Liu Bang was taken aback, and the old father's smile couldn't help appearing on his face. He planned to go to Yangdi early tomorrow morning to personally ask about the casting of weapons.

Doesn't the baby boy in the family want a good sword?

Right on the way.

Just as Liu Bang was twirling his beard and enjoying himself, a few servants ran past the door, shouting in disorder:

"It's not good, the son and the pig are fighting..."
