The first concubine of farming

Chapter 178
"Xi'er, I believe in your brother Ah Li's ability, but it's not just about fighting. You must know that food is the most important thing for soldiers to have energy and strength. Ah Li and I As I said, before this, our country has always looked prosperous on the outside, with no worries about food and clothing.”

"But that's only for people in the city. In fact, there are still many villages, especially those remote places that no one has visited. Compared with the people in the city, there are simply nowhere in the world. One in the sky and one on the ground"

"The land there is barren, and no food can be grown at all. This country has been trying to solve this problem, but it still fails."

"Originally, this is considered a secret of our country. Only the emperor and those more senior officials know this secret, so other countries have also been deceived by the prosperity of our country. Since the majesty of the Lord of War is here, no country dares to invade easily."

"It's just that the abolished prince fled from the imperial temple to the Kanglang country, and cooperated with Kang Yang, and told Kang Yang the fatal weakness of our country, so that's why Kang Yang ascended the throne, and he couldn't wait. Those who want to come and lay down our peace, " Bai Yanshi said.

"What my sister said is also true. Now that we know about this matter, we will help to come up with a good way to help," Huachen said.

"Chen'er, these are not the things you are worried about. This method, your sister, I have already thought of it. You only need to go back to the college with Xi'er in two days to study hard. Next year, I will be a scholar and come back. , I'm the one for everything else," Bai Yanshi said in disapproval of Huachen's words.

"Sister" heard Bai Yanshi's words, Huachen was dissatisfied that Bai Yanshi didn't let him help to find a way, but in the end, Huachen was defeated by Bai Yanshi's disapproving eyes, and said: "Okay , since you have said so, sister, then I will listen to you and study well in the academy with my brother."

"Well, it's good if you can agree to this, Chen'er, in fact, you really don't have to worry about these problems. Although our country's current food supply is indeed insufficient for war, don't forget that your sister and I have ways to increase What about food production?"

"I've already made plans. After Yan Ling escorts the food to the border tomorrow, I will hand over all the fields in Baijia Village to Yan Ling. Presumably Yan Ling has been with me for several years and knows how to do it. Manage it?" Bai Yanshi looked at Yan Ling as she spoke, and asked Yan Ling with her eyes.

"Well, I understand everything, but why did you hand over the land to me, Master?" Yan Ling asked a little incomprehensibly.

"It's fine if you understand. Anyway, I will hand over the management of the fields in the village to you, because I will go all the way south in the next time. I plan to go to various places to investigate, and then use the best and fastest way to develop agriculture. At least The food grown should be enough to support Ah Li in defeating the Kanglang Kingdom," Bai Yanshi said.

"What!? Elder sister, you want to go out?" Huaxi asked with a bit of a strong reaction after hearing Bai Yanshi's words.

"Yes, in order for us to have a stable life in the future, and for those people who are suffering from hunger to have a full day of food, I must leave home and go all the way south to develop our agriculture in the Heian Dynasty. OK"

"Chen'er, Xi'er, I don't know how long it will take me to come back after I go out this time, so you should study hard for me during the time when I'm not at home, and don't worry about other things. Do you remember, huh?" Bai Yushi asked Huachen Huaxi.

Huaxi wanted to say something after listening to what Bai Yanshi said, but he was restrained by Huachen who was at the side.

Huachen knew that there was no other way to do this, so even though he and Huaxi didn't want Bai Yanshi to leave the house, they still held back and said to Bai Yanshi: "We all know Yes, sister, don’t worry, I will take good care of my brother and myself, but sister, you have to be more careful when you go out.”

"I know all of this, you don't have to worry so much, and I will bring the hidden guards with me when the time comes," Bai Yushi said.

Listening to Bai Yanshi's words, Huaxi also knew that she couldn't stop her sister from leaving the house, so she sat there a little unhappy and said nothing.

"My lord, after I send the food to King Li at the border, should I go to you or come back to Baijia Village?" Yan Ling, who had been silent all this time, asked.

"You don't need to come back, and you don't need to look for me, Yan Ling, I know that you have always had the ability to do business, especially when negotiating with people. You also know that it usually takes one or two years to fight a war. Only then can we fight back those enemies, especially the Kanglang Kingdom."

"Kang Yan wanted to take down our Pingan Dynasty in this battle, so he would not let it go until we defeated him, unless they ran out of resources and all their cities were defeated and recovered by us, so this It will take a long time, and the food in our country's treasury is definitely not enough to support Ah Li to win the battle."

"Master, I probably already understand what you mean. Do you want me to send the grain to Queen Li, and then go to various cities to buy grain?" Yan Ling asked.

"Yes, but not" Bai Yishi shook her head and said slightly.

"Then what is the master's plan?" Seeing what Bai Yanshi said, Yan Ling couldn't guess what Bai Yanshi was thinking, so he asked.

"Yan Ling, in fact, I really want you to buy food and then send it to A Li and the others, but the consumption of money is too high. We don't have so much money to support us, and we buy a lot of food. It will also easily cause panic among the people," Bai Yishi said analytically.

"My lord, what you said is very reasonable. Since it can't be done like this, what should I do?" Yan Ling nodded after listening to Bai Yanshi's words, and then asked.

"It's very simple. I want you to open grain stores in various cities, collect grain in the name of the grain store, keep [-]% of the grain for sale in the store, and have [-]% sent to the border for Ah Li and the others. But all of this has to be done. Do things in secret, so that no one can know, can you do this?" Bai Yanshi asked after telling her plan.

"Hmm...Master, let me give it a try. After all, it's the first time I've done this." Yan Ling thought for a while after listening to Bai Yanshi's words before saying.

"Well, that's all trouble for you. Remember, if you don't disturb the people, you won't be disturbed, otherwise it will be easy to cause accidents." After hearing Yan Ling's words, Bai Yushi didn't ask him to do it perfectly. , It’s just that the requirements can be done a little better.
