Space at hand: Pick up a prince to farm

Chapter 520 I gave birth to a fat boy

"I heard that your food store doesn't have enough food in stock?"

The Sheriff spoke first after hearing his name.

The man nodded with a grimace, "That's right. I've almost turned gray with worry these days. If our food stores don't have food, the people will probably be in chaos."

He didn't mean to be alarmist in what he said. The common people didn't have enough to eat, so what else would they care about?
What he said proved that he was indeed thinking about the problem pragmatically. Combined with the information he had obtained, the county governor already had a firm idea.

"You did very well."

Although these words were a bit abrupt, the visitor quickly understood what the Sheriff meant, "Young man just did what you should do, and the Sheriff is ridiculously complimenting you."

Be humble and have a great heart.

The governor nodded calmly, "How much food do you want?"

The man obviously didn't expect that the county guard would get to the point so directly. He was slightly stunned before he said what he was thinking, "If it can be small, I naturally hope to have as many as possible. Even if the drought is relieved now, , spring plowing has been scrapped, the second half of the year and even next year will be very severe, but there is a small hope that we can survive."

If he can hold on, it means that many ordinary people can hold on.

Their ancestors had been doing this for a living, and they had never thought of making a fortune in this kind of thing.

"How about I promise you a thousand stones?"

This time the county guard didn't ask anyone to reveal the money first, but directly gave him a number.

Anyway, Cang Xiuxuan said that he would give him as much food as he could raise.

"Whether it's rice, flour or anything else, I'll give it to you at fifteen cents per pound, but I have a request."

"Sir, please speak."

As soon as this man heard about a thousand stones, he was already very excited.

It's not like they haven't purchased grain from everywhere before, but under the current situation, no one is willing to sell the grain, even if the price is too high, it's useless.

Now the governor promised him a thousand shi of food as soon as he opened his mouth. This made him excited. And the price was such a low price. Not to mention just one request, he agreed to ten requests without hesitation. .

"I hope you can keep this batch of grain well. You are not allowed to sell it in large quantities to anyone. Each sale must not exceed twenty kilograms. All of it must be sold to ordinary people. Is it possible for you to do it?"

The man knelt in front of the county guard again, "Sir, please rest assured. I, Ye Qingming, will remember your words carefully. If there is any violation, you will be struck by thunder from the sky!"

This was originally his idea. He was eager to find food because he hoped that he could provide a way for ordinary people to survive. Now that the governor has said this, he is even more confident.

Listening to Ye Mingqing's words, the county guard nodded with satisfaction, "Someone will notify you in three days to collect the food. At that time, I will also give you a plaque. In the future, if there is food, I will send someone to notify you as soon as possible."

Such a person is the best helper who can stabilize the situation for him.

Ye Qingming kowtowed again, "Thank you, sir!"

Next, many people came in, and they all brought more or less money. The county warden set the price for them according to the information on the list.

As long as the profiteer is ten taels of silver per stone, those with a righteous heart will be worth one tael and five silver per stone.

At the end of the day, the county guard collected nearly 10 taels of silver.

He didn't feel it when he collected the money. When he counted it at night, he was a little panicked. After all, Cang Xiuxuan said that he would be given food according to the market price. The 10 taels of silver plus the 12 taels he could collect by himself, [-] Ten thousand taels of silver would cost [-] shi of grain!
The yield per mu in the first year was only about three shi, and these [-] shi were the output of nearly [-] hectares of fertile land.

This was nothing in the past, but at this time, he was really worried. Cang Xiuxuan's city had no output at all before, which meant that now everyone in his city relied on Cang Xiuxuan could live off the food he had hoarded previously.

Will he have so much food for him?
His worries were reasonable, but he didn't know that Cang Xiuxuan had such a big granary as Song Chen, so he had enough confidence.

I believe that if he scrapes together another 12 taels of silver, Cang Xiuxuan will be able to give him an additional [-] shi of food.

The money was almost collected, and the Yangzhou County Sheriff contacted Cang Xiuxuan according to the method he had left before.

This time Cang Xiuxuan came with Song Chen, and Song Chen still wore men's clothes. The Yangzhou County Sheriff forced himself to ignore this countless times, but every time he saw Cang Xiuxuan's eyes looking at Song Chen, Yangzhou The governor's heart couldn't stop trembling.

He is obviously such an outstanding man, why, why...

Is there no woman in the world that he likes?

"It takes about two days to get from my city to your Yangzhou County, but it will take at least five days to transport [-] shi of grain. We will set off tomorrow and you can send someone to transport the grain yourself."

Cang Xiuxuan took a large stack of banknotes from the Yangzhou County Sheriff and handed them to Song Chen. Then he dropped a sentence that made the Yangzhou County Sheriff bleed.

"What does King Qi mean by this?"

Cang Xiu Come back." Yangzhou County Sheriff choked, he couldn't refute this at all!
It took a while to calm down, but it seemed that he didn't say it would be a guaranteed delivery in the first place. The [-] shi of food was really not a small amount, so he felt more at ease if he personally sent someone there.

So after Cang Xiuxuan and the others left, he began to think about who should take this order and transport these life-saving grains back.

After thinking hard all night, he sent a large team of people to pull food early the next morning.

Follow the route given by Cang Xiuxuan.

As for Cang Xiuxuan, Song Chen and Cang Chen were happily exchanging it for gold and silver.

Anyway, in Song Chen's opinion, nothing in this era is as reliable as gold needles and silver.

This time, Cang Xiuxuan was escorting him, as well as his manpower hidden here. The exchange went smoothly. After a few more groups of people were exchanged, all the gold and silver was taken into the space by Song Chen without arousing any suspicion.

Then he just ran away.

The two of them still rode back quickly, and met the people from Yangzhou County Sheriff halfway, but they didn't stop much. When they returned to the city, Cang Xiuxuan began to arrange for people to prepare food.

Although the people below didn't know why they suddenly had to prepare so much food, they felt relieved when they saw that their master didn't care at all.

Song Chen was not in a hurry to get supplies now. She had some time to go out this time. She had to go back and see her mother quickly. The due date was coming soon, and she didn't know what the situation was like now.

She listed all the various situations she would encounter during childbirth, thinking that she would be prepared so that if something unexpected happened, she would be able to take immediate measures.

but don't want to...

As soon as she entered the door, she saw a beaming father.

No, not only his father, but also everyone in their family had the same expression on their faces, as if some great happy event had happened to their family.

Song Chen was very puzzled.

"Father, you are..."

Song Dashan had been immersed in the joy of being in public before, but he really didn't notice that Song Chen was back at the first time. Now when he heard her calling him, the smile on his face became more obvious.

"Xiaochen, you came back just in time. Your mother has given you a younger brother."

Song Chen was obviously not surprised that her mother gave birth to a younger brother, but her mother actually gave birth half a month early, which surprised her.

Originally, she wanted to ask her mother if the birth went smoothly, but now seeing her father in this state, she felt that there was no need to ask, it must have been smooth.

"Are you born today exactly?"

Song Dashan smiled and nodded, "Just half an hour before you came back, this child was born on your time. He will definitely be your follower again in the future."

What Song Dashan said was not unreasonable. The Song Wang family really had no reaction at all before, but suddenly it started, which frightened all of them. Fortunately, the birth process went very smoothly, and a big fat boy was born. .

This child is more beautiful than the Song He and Song Chen they gave birth to before. He is really white and fat, and he looks very happy.

Of course, they didn't mean to dislike the brothers Song Chen and Song He.

They also knew in their hearts that when they gave birth to their brothers and sisters, the adults did not have enough to eat every day and had to work non-stop. At that time, they were lucky to wait until the child was born at full term.

But this child is different. From the time she got up, Mrs. Song has eaten well, slept well, and will not let her interfere in anything. To be outrageous, during this period of time, she is really like a queen mother.

There is no pressure in life, and the family is full of joy. Mrs. Song Wang is always in a good mood. The children born in this way are naturally very good-looking.

As for the follower, a few years later Song Dashan really felt that he was too far-sighted at that time. This child really followed his sister wherever she went, and good opportunities were thrown back by his son-in-law.

Of course, this is all for later.

After Song Chen asked a few questions, he walked towards Song Wang's room, but he was stopped before he entered.

"Girl, you'd better not go in right now. Madam hasn't packed up yet."

Although the birth of Song Wang's child was smooth, it also suffered some hardships. This child may have been too well-nourished. When he was born, he weighed a full eight pounds. In modern times, it would be possible to get a knife. Fortunately, she I had given birth to two children before, and I successfully gave birth to this eldest son.

But all the strength was used up.

Just at this time, a Wen Po came out. When she saw Song Chen, she hurriedly hid the things at hand.

Song Chen was about to ask, but his grandmother who followed him stopped him, "Don't ask, it's not clean."
