After the divorce, the salted fish beauty took the script of the villain

The fireworks last night attracted the attention of the whole city. Others didn't know, but Lin Heli knew that it was the birthday of Ningzhou Tieqi, the coach, but he was a little unbelievable.

Ningzhou Tieqi is so poor, Tingfeng has been raising food everywhere, borrowing money, and still has spare money to set off this fireworks for Xie Xun, which is fleeting, and for him, the beauty of an instant is the most useless thing.

However, the residents of Jiaozhou seem to be very happy, and there are still many people enjoying the beautiful scenery on the street in the middle of the night.

Xue Yu said that it has been a long time since the Twelve States have seen such a wonderful scene.

Jinzhou is rich and prosperous, and has never wasted money or set off fireworks during the Chinese New Year. Although it is useless, like a flash in the pan, it is worthwhile to give the people a visual feast.

Although the fireworks are beautiful, life is very bitter. Xie Xun and Lin Heli are in a stalemate, and Xue Yu is caught in the middle.There is a group of staff in Jiaozhou City, and Xue Yu is in charge of the affairs. Although the merchants complained, they were all suppressed.It's just that the gate to the north is closed, which has limited impact on the river transportation. As long as people's livelihood can be guaranteed, merchants and people will be stable.

However, Xue Yu has a headache.

Winter is coming soon.

The grain shipped from the south can only support Jiaozhou until the end of November. In previous years, merchants would prepare grain and supplies for the winter in the city in mid-November.

Only half a month away from mid-November, the granary in the city was empty, and the merchants did not prepare any surplus food. Xue Yu was in a hurry, and the Twelve Prefectures officially entered the cold winter at the end of November, which would last until February of the next year.There is heavy snow in winter, and there is a shortage of supplies except for the crops that can survive the winter. Starting from October, all state capitals will start to prepare food for the winter.

"My lord, if you and the lord continue to stand in a stalemate, Jiaozhou will have a hard time this winter, and there will be dead bodies everywhere. Please think twice." Xue Yu could only bite the bullet and discuss with Lin Heli.

Lin Heli is a civil servant and comes from a clan. In Xue Yu's opinion, he is better at speaking than Xie Xun.

"There is no food in Jiaozhou, so what does it have to do with me?" Lin Heli was calm, and he always spoke in a calm manner, "It is Xie Xun and Chen Bingjiaozhou. This is the city of Yanyang. I will negotiate with him. To save Jiaozhou, I should beg Xie Xun, you came to me to put the cart before the horse."

"That being said, the common people are innocent because of your two tricks." Xue Yu said with a headache, "Twelve prefectures rely on Jiangnan and Zhongzhou for their food supply. The situation in Jiaozhou is tense. Merchants are afraid of war and dare not spend a lot of money on grain. The government wants to fill up the granaries, but there is no money in the books, and the price of rice and grain in Jiaozhou has risen by [-]% in the past few days. You can’t just watch the people of Jiaozhou starve to death in winter.”

Winter in Japan is the most profitable season for rice and grain merchants. Due to the heavy snow in the twelve states, road closures and freezing weather, the price of rice and grain will fluctuate and rise, although the state government will have control.However, the market supply cannot be adjusted by control, because the state government has no money and silver to collect food, so it can only rely on merchants.Merchants will hoard food and cause prices to rise.Because of the war, there was a shortage of food, and the winter in the twelve states was very difficult, and the price of food soared.Fearing war this year, merchants dare not spend a lot of money to hoard food.

For one thing, if you really spend a lot of money to store grain and store grain in the granary, there will be a real war. Grain is not as easy to carry as silver, and it is difficult to move.Second, if the people in the city are poor, and there are unruly people in the remote areas, once they get out of control, the big households with food in their homes will be the first to be looted. Rice and grain are different from other commodities.

This is a necessity!
You don’t need to wear jewelry, and you can only wear one set of clothes in winter, but food is in demand every day, and no one dares to spend a lot of money on food. This has led to the fact that there is no food for winter in Jiaozhou City by the end of October.

Lin Heli knew the plight of Jiaozhou.

Xie Xun also knows!
But none of them gave in. Xue Yu and the staff of the state government were so anxious that they were like ants on the hot pot. Xue Yu was already calculating the balance of money on the books of the state government and raising food from the south of the Yangtze River as much as possible.

"My lord, it's really impossible. If Jinzhou can transfer a sum of money to come to the emergency, it should be regarded as Jiaozhou's loan." The staff suggested.

"Jinzhou can only withdraw 50 taels at most, which is a drop in the bucket." Xue Yu couldn't solve Jiaozhou's difficulties. Two rice and grain stores are no longer open, and the price of grain in Jiaozhou is likely to skyrocket this winter.Even if you have money, it is difficult to raise food.

out of town!

Before Feng Yu received Xie Jue's letter to raise food, she had written a letter to shopkeeper Wang two days earlier, asking him to secretly raise food from Jiangnan and Zhongzhou, and the food would be hoarded in Jinzhou.Prepare as much food as possible in Jinzhou. The shopkeepers of the Su Family Commercial Bank have the habit of raising food. This is all thanks to the Ningzhou iron cavalry. After Feng Shu took over the business, she prepared as much food as possible. Feng Yu also has the habit of raising food habit, so shopkeepers will actively prepare for winter.

Feng Yu deliberately edited the books, and shopkeeper Wang knew that there was a big demand. With such a big movement in Jiaozhou, Jinzhou had known for a long time that shopkeeper Wang had gone to organize food, but he also encountered very difficult problems, which he fed back to Feng Yu.

There is a lot of rain in the south of the Yangtze River in autumn, and the grain harvest is not as good as in previous years. The grain that commercial banks can raise is very limited. Zhongzhou has blocked the Beihe River, and ships are no longer allowed to cross the river.The household department began to control and deploy, and deliberately cut off the winter grain in the twelve states. Their preparation time was a bit late.

I'm afraid this winter will be very difficult.

Even if she has mountains of gold and silver, she can't change food out of thin air. This product is too special. In case of natural disasters or man-made disasters, it is difficult to have surplus food, not to mention the south-to-north transfer of grain.

The autumn and winter plowing in Xizhou and Huangzhou has just started, and the bumper harvest will have to wait until next spring. Feng Yu can only hope that shopkeeper Wang can prepare more grain and get through the winter first.

The south of the Yangtze River is flooded with rain in autumn. If there is a flood disaster, the food supply will be reduced even more.

Zhongzhou.

Fang Chuning has yet to gain a firm foothold in Zhongzhou, General Chen Ming and Marshal Fang have a close relationship, but it can be said that Zhongzhou has always been the territory of the Yuwen royal family.General Chen Ming, like Marshal Fang, is a veteran of maintaining orthodoxy.Fang Chuning had just arrived and was stationed in Zhongzhou, but he was inferior to General Chen Ming in terms of military affairs. His old injury had recurred, and although he could no longer go into battle in armor, Zhongzhou's garrison had to take care of it one by one.

General Chen Ming's trust in Fang Chuning was very weak. First, he was not familiar with Fang Chuning. Second, Fang Chuning had been riding in Ningzhou for many years and had a close relationship. He did not dare to delegate all power.

Even though Fang Chuning was the son of Princess Yanyang and his mother was from the clan, General Chen Ming still did not dare to take it lightly. He refused to delegate power, so Fang Chuning was happy to relax.

He can get along well in the capital, and he is very popular in Ningzhou's iron cavalry. Xie Xun will not go to Zhongzhou for the time being, and General Chen Ming will handle any orders from the court alone. Fang Chuning simply mixed with a group of young generals in Zhongzhou and fought fiercely.

A few young generals also seemed to be doing it on purpose, taking him to drink every day, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was intoxicated. Fang Chuning had seen Xie Jue play this trick before, so he didn't take it to heart at all.Xie Jue also liked to play this trick when he was in Beiman back then. Unfortunately, he couldn't drink enough, he was always confused when he was drunk, and he liked fragments, so he didn't even know he was sold.

In fact, Fang Chuning can also understand the official circles in Zhongzhou. They are all royalists. As an outsider, how can he win the trust of others?If he doesn't even believe in himself, how can others believe in him?He misses Xie Jue so much, and emotionally wants to put on wings and fly to Ningzhou, but rationally traps his body in Zhongzhou.

But he didn't expect that when he woke up after being very drunk, he saw the second son whom he had been thinking about standing in front of the bed. Fang Chuning laughed and covered his face with one hand.

He muttered to himself, "I haven't woken up from this dream."

Xie Jue's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and an unspeakable soreness filled his heart, did he dream of him?

"A-Ning, it's not a dream."
