Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

By next year, the farmers who escaped disaster will quickly fall into a situation where they cannot even afford a piece of clothing or a bundle of firewood, except for the many moldy agricultural products in their hands.

This is the huge damage that fluctuations in the relationship between grain supply and demand can bring about in ancient times like the Qin and Han Dynasties.

The expression subconsciously became a little dignified. Zhang Yan has never let down his vigilance against this "primitive economic crisis".

……

Of course, although the harm of this food crisis is very serious, the method to actually solve this problem is actually very simple.

Taking modern society as an example, the easiest way for the Chinese government to solve the fluctuations in grain supply and demand is to set up a large number of granaries, and use the weapon of "Hua Grain Storage" to macro-control the grain price in the market.

When the market shows signs of food shortage at the earliest stage, Hua Grain Storage will start to release grain to stabilize the price, and when the market is oversaturated with grain in the following year, this department will purchase the surplus grain from farmers at a relatively stable price.

It can be said that a simple grain and material reserve department can starve to death all the merchants who make money in the country and try to drive up prices at this time.

You charge a high price for food?

Then I will open the granary and take away all the liquidity in your hands.

Are you selling low?

Sorry, our government can collect as much as there is in the granary, until a speculative businessman like you goes bankrupt.

This is the meaning of Hualiang storage.

Secretly made up his mind, Zhang Yan planned to wait until the arable land area in Lujiang increased significantly next year, and he must imitate the department in his previous life and set up a similar grain and material reserve department in Lujiang.

This department doesn't need to care about other things, it is dedicated to preventing such a material crisis from happening in the territory under its command, and to solve this problem fundamentally.

As for the present, when the WFP has not yet been established, Zhang Yan's actions or actions are much more straightforward.

Just like what the shopkeeper said, as the ruler, he only needs to increase the income of those handicraftsmen who are not engaged in production, and at the same time properly put some grain stored in previous years into the market in Lujiang, and then he can smoothly transfer these This crisis was strangled in the cradle.

At the very least, it will kill this year's crisis in its infancy.

……

"Well, let me think about it. At present, the people in Lujiang are mainly farmers and craftsmen. If I remember correctly, the preliminary data obtained by Kuai Qi before, these two types of people It even accounts for more than [-]% of the population of all common people.”

"Leaving aside those high-income earners such as farmers and plasterers this year, it is not difficult to increase the income of craftsmen such as carpenters and blacksmiths."

"Wait for two days—just today, wait until tonight, and contact Kuai Qi to place some orders for ironware to the people in the name of the Wancheng government office.

Standing in front of the gate of the Wancheng government office, Zhang Yan secretly made a decision.

It is also a coincidence, although today's matter is just Zhang Yan's temporary idea, but he has already had this idea, and wants to order some ironware from the common craftsmen in Lujiang in the name of the government.

Now that the two things are put together, it saves Zhang Yan a lot of trouble.

You know, when he was living in Luoyang, Zhang Yan had planned to organize Lujiang residents and even those homeless victims from other places to open up wasteland after he arrived in Lujiang, and prepare a large amount of state-owned cultivated land.

But land reclamation is different from other things. It needs to occupy the original idle population of Lujiang, or bring in a large number of disaster victims from other places, which will have a great impact on Lujiang's original grain reserves.

Zhang Yan, who didn't want to affect the original farmland cultivation in Lujiang, naturally had no choice but to suppress this matter, and planned to wait until autumn and winter to organize manpower to prepare for large-scale farming next year.

Now, since he needs to find a way to increase the income of those craftsmen, the method of the ancestors subconsciously appeared in Zhang Yan's mind.

And the content of "work" is naturally related to his next land reclamation plan.

……

"Hey, needless to say, even if the standard of absorbing [-] or [-] refugees is adopted, at least Lujiang will be able to provide at least [-] more laborers to help me reclaim the wasteland, right?"

"If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools. Although it is not possible to start farming immediately, it is always right to prepare some tools and other things in advance."

"It's like iron farm tools, ranging from small hoes to large plows. If Lujiang has some stocks, it will be much better than sharpening guns when the time comes."

After roughly calculating his own needs this year, Zhang Yan is planning to use the name of the government to purchase a large number of agricultural tools from the people of Lujiang to prepare for the unexpected needs at the end of the year.

On the one hand, such behavior can certainly increase the income of these craftsmen.

In the absence of large-scale smelting of weapons, buying or even pre-purchasing agricultural tools from those blacksmiths can bring these residents far more income than usual, which is enough to cope with the price fluctuations of grain in Lujiang this year.

On the other hand, perhaps due to the habit of being a hamster player, Zhang Yan always felt that it would not be a bad thing if his government stockpiled some consumable tools in advance.

……

"Huh, so be it, there's only so much I can do."

Standing at the gate of the Wancheng government office, Zhang Yan looked at the "ruin" land opposite, but there was a look of eagerness in his eyes.

In the final analysis, the essence of this food crisis is nothing more than the development of the entire Lujiang market. The market size has become larger than before, and the demand has become stronger than before.

If it is not handled well, then this matter will naturally be a serious problem for Lujiang, and it may even affect Zhang Yan's series of plans in the future.

But if it is handled well...whether it is in terms of the government's credibility or the residents' recognition of Zhang Yan, the prefect, this crisis may not necessarily be a bad thing.

Chapter 15 Catch up with the rainy season, half a year will not be needed

It didn't take long for Zhang Yan to make a plan, and at the same time, he set off and walked towards the construction site opposite the government office.

"Hehe, good morning, Wei Xian, you called me over in such a hurry, but what trouble did you encounter?"

As soon as he entered the door, Zhang Yan greeted the middle-aged man who was scratching his head sadly in the distance.

When the man heard the words, he suddenly turned around and looked up, with a look of joy on his face.

"Master, you are here!"

Hurriedly walking towards the door, Wei Xian just had a sad expression on his face, but after seeing Zhang Yan appearing, the bitterness eased visibly with the naked eye.

On the other side, Zhang Yan also nodded, and just looked at the situation in this construction site.

I don't know if I don't look at it, Zhang Yan didn't pay attention outside the door before, the buildings that were originally lined up in this construction site have now been demolished by Wei Xian and others, leaving only the far edge area and some The house seems to be specially used for these construction craftsmen to live in.

As for the area near the original main hall, which was also the area that Zhang Yan planned to use to build the main body of the library, it has now been turned into a piece of broken walls, revealing a trace of desolation amidst the prosperity of Wancheng.

After taking a rough look, Zhang Yan had a look of satisfaction on his face.

"Yo, isn't the progress pretty fast?"

"The area around here has been cleaned up by you, so it won't be long before the work can officially start?"

Witnessing that half of the high wall shattered under the efforts of several big men, and a burst of light yellow smoke was stirred up, Zhang Yan didn't pay attention, and even coughed a little bit due to the dust.

Back in Luoyang, Zhang Yan would go to Wei Xian's construction site when he had nothing to do on weekdays, so he also had a certain understanding of the most basic work of some wonder constructions.

Like the initial cleaning of the ground, digging holes...ah no, it was laying foundations, and some things like building structures. He has seen it with his own eyes, and even operated it himself.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that Wei Xian's side had cleared out a large area of ​​useless old buildings in less than a month.

"My lord, you are awsome, we are just maintaining the normal progress."

As for Wei Xian, the expression on his face became visibly embarrassed.

"If you hadn't allowed me to recruit workers in Wancheng on a large scale, and our manpower is too small, in fact, we would have demolished the walls here ten days ago, and it wouldn't be so small Things dragged on for almost a month."

"After all, this is the easiest step in all jobs."

"Come with me, Master. There is too much smoke here, let's go over there and talk."

Perhaps because of his inherently taciturn personality, Wei Xian didn't go to exchange too many pleasantries this time, but led Zhang Yan straight to the distant room.

Seeing this, Zhang Yan naturally nodded.

"Well, let's go, you lead the way."

Just like that, without too much communication, the two entered the room one after the other.

Later, when the door of the house was finally closed, the previous noisy sound was also isolated from the door along with some disturbing smoke and dust.

……

"It's okay this time, tell me, what's the matter?"

"It's not like you to be so anxious."

Sitting on the main seat with a smile, Zhang Yan looked at Wei Xian without any dissatisfaction.

After all, it is normal to encounter problems during the construction of the spectacle, and the difficulty of the large library is not as difficult as that of the previous sundial, so it can be said that Zhang Yan had expected the other party to find him this time.

On the opposite side of him, Wei Xian was not in a dawdly manner, so he roughly explained the current situation.

"Well, it's not really a problem."

"My lord, I'll just say it straight. There are some problems with the blueprint you gave me this time. If it is built according to the requirements above, this big library may not be able to be built in our city of Wan."

……

"Can't build it?"

"Uh... No, you mean this thing has some special requirements?"

Subconsciously followed up, Zhang Yan didn't realize what the other party meant at the first time, so his expression became a little dazed.

Then, as if he suddenly thought of something, his eyebrows immediately wrinkled into a ball:

"It shouldn't be. I have read the blueprint before I gave it to you. There are no special requirements on it."

The sentence "The drawing is given by the system" almost blurted out. After Zhang Yan heard Wei Xian's words, his first reaction was that this large library, like another blueprint in his hand, the Venice Armory, has the "must be built by the seaside". " and other special restrictions.

But after thinking about it, he had already seen the blueprints of this library as soon as he bought it. Although he didn't say he was familiar with the contents above, Zhang Yan still remembered very clearly whether there were any special restrictions.

After pondering for a while, Zhang Yan looked at Wei Xian with a trace of questioning in his eyes.

"Details."

With the simple two words out, Zhang Yan did not make any meaningless guesses.

Afterwards, Wei Xian also sorted out his language, tried to speak, and explained to his boss.

"Well, it's not that there are any hard requirements. On this point, even I didn't notice it before."

"It's just the master, the big library recorded on your blueprint, I'm afraid it's not our big man's thing?"

It seemed that he was a little uncertain about his guess, and Wei Xian's tone at the moment was also a little intermittent.

"Well, master, I remember you said before that this spectacle is called the Great Library, and it is a building that you specially use to collect books from all over the world, and collect and display those books."

"But if I understand correctly, whether it is Jiangnan or Saibei, whether it is paper books or those bamboo slips, they must be preserved in a very strict environment. Even in summer, there are still books in the library. It is necessary to prevent special carbon dust and prevent books from being moldy and damaged."

"Look at this drawing..."

"If we follow the description on this blueprint, I'm afraid our large library will be built for half a year at most, and the books in the library will rot into a pile of garbage."

"Even in the rainy season, it won't be needed for half a year."
