The price of grain in Jincheng for three years of the Han Dynasty makes people feel a little strange.

It had only been three months since the prime minister led his army south, and the news that Qike County and Yuewang County had been pacified came one after another, resulting in the price of Jincheng grain, which had just been harvested for summer grain, to be one baht lower than last year.

After all, last year, there was a Feng madman in Hanzhong who was desperately collecting grain, so he couldn't support the price of grain.

This year is different, after nearly two years of reclamation, Hanzhong has begun to produce grain.

I heard that Feng Lunatic went to ask the prime minister again, and asked Chenggu County to provide grain to Nanxiang County, and this year's grain collection in Nanxiang County is much smaller than last year.

Last year, Hanzhong raised the price to collect grain, but this year it is collected at the market price.

Love to sell or not to sell!

This made many big families in Shu County secretly rejoice: Damn, Lao Tzu finally saw it once, and this time he was not bleeding by the Zhuge villager and Feng Luzi.

In the past two years, I was cheated three or four times in a row, not to mention being pitted and bleeding profusely, and some people even had their livers almost exploded.

This year, I won't talk about food prices, and I can do whatever I like.

The reason why this grain price is strange is because somehow rice and wheat can't rise, but the price of beans is one a day, which is more than in previous years.

In the east market of Jincheng, there is a very special noodle shop, and the sign hanging on the door reads the word "ticket number", which was originally specially for those who came with woolen cloth tickets to exchange woolen cloth.

Later, as woolen tickets became more and more popular in Jincheng, they gradually became the most popular circulation tickets in the East Market.

The people who come in and out of this ticket number on weekdays, the lowest status, are also the stewards and shopkeepers of various noodle shops in the East Market.

So someone saw the popularity of this ticket number, and then next to the ticket number, bought a noodle shop and opened a new grain store.

The price of the beans was raised by the newly opened grain store.

This grain store not only bought all the beans in the Jincheng peer store, but also issued a notice saying that no matter how many beans there are, they will receive as many beans as they come - even a small bag.

At noon that day, an old farmer cowered to the door of the grain store, peeked inside, and hesitated to go in.

"Brother, are you going to buy grain or sell it?"

The shopkeeper inside was sharp-eyed, and when he saw that the old farmer seemed to have something, he hurriedly walked out and greeted him warmly.

The old peasant was barefoot, wearing sackcloth and a hat on his back, and at a glance he knew that he had come from the countryside to the city.

"If you don't buy food, you don't buy food."

The old farmer hurriedly waved his hand.

"Then the old brother is going to sell grain?"

The shopkeeper asked with a smile.

"Sell...... Don't sell ...... Just look at ......"

The old peasant was a little stumbling, his eyes dodging, and some couldn't speak.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he was not angry, he turned his head and shouted, "San'er, pour a bowl of water, remember to dry it." ”

The guy inside listened, answered, and hurriedly poured a bowl of boiling water and sent it out.

"Brother, it's a big day, drink saliva first."

"Thank you, thank you."

The old farmer took it and drank it all in one gulp, almost choking, as if he was being urged.

After drinking, my heart finally calmed down a little, and then I dared to point to the big notice at the door and asked, "Dare to ask the shopkeeper, here are the beans?" ”

"Collect, the old brother has a bean in his hand?"

The shopkeeper took the bowl and asked.

"It's only two stones, is it?"

The old farmer's face was a little hot, and he didn't dare to look at the shopkeeper, probably because he felt a little embarrassed to say this in front of such a large grain store.

"Done! How not? ”

The shopkeeper smiled heartily, "Charge as much as you want, all at the same price." ”

"Is that true?"

The old farmer asked in disbelief.

"It's clearly written, how can it not be true?"

"Good! Wait a minute, shopkeeper, I'll go get it! ”

The old farmer didn't expect things to go so smoothly, nodded again and again, turned around and ran.

After a while, the old peasant returned, followed by three young men, each carrying two bags of things on his shoulders, which seemed to be beans.

"San'er, take this bean for a while, and pour a few bowls of water out."

The shopkeeper saw it and hurriedly shouted inside.

"Brother, there is a lot of land at home, right? Why did you collect so many beans? ”

The shopkeeper led the old farmer into the store, and chatted with the old farmer while making people weigh him.

"No more, no less."

The old farmer sold the beans, and a smile appeared on his face, "Didn't the government let us use that quyuan plow in the first two years, that thing is so good, the family has worked hard for two years, and opened some new land." ”

"There is no need to pay grain for the new land, and if other grains don't grow well, maybe they will have to grow in vain. But this bean is different, if it is planted in a new field, it can also grow seeds, which can be regarded as a grain harvested for nothing. ”

The old farmer said, and the joy on his face was revealed, "I thought that this bean could fill my stomach anyway, but I heard someone say a few days ago that the price of beans in this city is still high." So I came to try my luck and asked many grain stores, and then I found it. ”

"The price of beans this year has doubled compared to previous years, brother, this is lucky!" The shopkeeper gave a thumbs up, "It's a farmer." ”

When the old farmer heard this, his face turned into a chrysanthemum, and he was modest, "It's just a blind seed, it just happened." ”

"Hehe, brother doesn't need to be like this, I also know some of the doorways here." The shopkeeper lowered his voice and said, "This new land is planted with beans and grain, which is much better than planting grain directly!" Yes and no? ”

The old farmer was shocked, looked around, and saw that the guys in the store were busy, and he didn't look at this side at all, so he hesitated to glance at the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper's ...... I used to farm too? ”

This way was only found out after many years of planting, and he never told others, that is, a few brothers in his own family to know this truth.

These beans are not their own family, but there are so many brothers who are close to each other.

The shopkeeper pointed to the north, "Old brother doesn't know, in Hanzhong in the north, someone taught this kind of thing two years ago." ”

"At first, not many people believed it, but later, as long as they planted beans and then planted grain, the grain in the field last year was better than that of other parents. So this year, as long as the land is newly opened up, it will be planted with beans first, and then grain will be planted the next year. ”

"Anyone who has been to Hanzhong knows this. It's a pity that few people who have cleared the wasteland in the past two years believe this, otherwise, this year's old brother's beans would not be sold at this price. ”

The shopkeeper explained to the old farmer.

After chatting with the shopkeeper for a few words, seeing that the other party was kind, the old farmer also let go.

Hearing this, the old farmer was still a little skeptical, "Then Hanzhong in the north, is it really like this?" Here in Jincheng, there are also many large families who have opened up wasteland, why haven't they heard the government mention this? ”

The shopkeeper smiled, coughed dryly, and said vaguely, "Who knows?" ”

The beans were quickly weighed, a total of three stones and six buckets, and it seemed that the old farmer had just said it lower.

"Is the old brother going to exchange food or take money?"

The shopkeeper asked.

"I don't need money, I can't use the money if I dig in the field." The old farmer waved his hand and said, "It's good to replace it with millet seeds, the kid in the family finally said that he is a family, get some food and marry that girl back quickly." ”

The price of this bean is much more expensive than millet now, and you can exchange a lot of millet for it! As soon as this one goes out, there is a lot more food at home, which is cost-effective!

"Done!"

After the old farmer's family left with the millet seeds, the shopkeeper immediately instructed the people below to send the beans to the back yard.

There are a lot of beans piled up in the yard, all of which have been collected these days, and many people are busy carrying the beans out of the back door of the yard, where there is a car waiting.

As soon as it was filled, the coachman shouted and prepared to drive the cart to the warehouse outside the city.

There was also a door on the side of the yard that connected to the backyard of the ticket number, and the steward of the ticket number hurried over, sat on the car, and said, "Let's go!" ”

Then a few cars creaked out of the city.

When I went, I loaded beans and other grains, and when I came back, I was loaded with woolen cloth brought from Hanzhong, not by air.

The warehouse is built on the edge of the river, and it is possible to quickly reach the road by going south along the waterway.

The prime minister's southern expedition is this waterway.

The steward of the ticket number followed the convoy to the warehouse outside the city, only to find that something was wrong at the door of the warehouse today.

I saw a group of people standing there, and the chief steward of the warehouse was respectfully saying something to the leader.

The ticket number steward was taken aback, and said in his heart, who has such a big face?

Whether it is the ticket number, the grain store, or the warehouse, although the large and small stewards here do not know each other, the approximate foundation can still be guessed.

The chief steward of this warehouse, I heard that he has a background in the palace!

Even if his "owner" comes, he can't make the chief steward look like this, right?

It's just that he still couldn't see what the leader looked like in the end, because the warehouse opened several doors, just to make it easier to enter and exit.

The convoy turned a corner and entered through another doorway.

"Guan Langjun rest assured, the villain has picked out the best boatman in the warehouse, and he is very familiar with this waterway, and he will definitely be able to send Guan Langjun to the Yandao as soon as possible."

"How much longer?"

The leader was a handsome son, but his face was extremely cold, his eyes were indifferent, and his slightly furrowed brows showed a trace of anxiety, although he did not blame, but the warehouse manager felt a pressure in Pingkong.

"It's going to be fine soon, why don't you take a drink of saliva first?"

"No, I'll just wait here, and I'll leave the boat as soon as it's ready."

Guan Langjun shook his head and rejected the kindness of the chief steward, "You go and see again, urge me, and tell me as soon as it's okay." ”

"Okay, okay, villain go and have a look."

The chief steward of the warehouse nodded repeatedly, turned around and ran to the dock.

The extremely handsome Guan Langjun is naturally Guan Ji, in order to suppress the anxiety in her heart, she had to try to divert her attention.

His eyes fell on the big characters on both sides of the warehouse door, frowned slightly, and said in his mouth, "Dongfeng Express, the mission must be achieved?" ”

At the same time, I thought to myself, this is a place for goods and inventory, why write such incomprehensible words?

This kind of headless and brainless thing must have been made by that guy who didn't have a bit of seriousness.

Thinking like this, the face that always smiled at her seemed to appear in front of her.

Even if she was extremely anxious, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl slightly.

Feng Lang, Feng Lang, this time the concubine has pinned all her hopes on you, don't disappoint me!

She said silently in her heart.

Dianchi Lake.

"The last general (child) has seen the governor."

Zhao Guang, Wang Xun and Li Yi saluted Li Hui in unison.

"You don't have to be so polite."

Li Hui smiled and said happily, "I'm worried about manpower here, I didn't expect the two little generals to come, it's really good." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Li Yi again, "My son is here too?" ”

"Yes. It's a brother...... Captain Feng asked the children to escort the grain and grass over. ”

Li Yi replied.

"What about Feng Langjun?"

Li Hui praised Feng Yong in his heart, although he did not clearly state his intentions, it was obvious that the other party had understood what he meant.

At such times, as long as people are present and add a name to the credit book, it is a simple matter.

It's just that he didn't see Feng Yong, which made Li Hui a little puzzled.

Although it is already a great credit to defeat Meng Huo in the defensive battle of Wei County, the lion's share is still on Wang Ping. If these people want to take more credit, they should naturally come to Dianchi Lake.

That's how he's easy to operate, isn't it?

"Back to my lord, my brother said that there is still something to do in Wei County, so I won't come, let the child greet the adult."

Li Yi explained.

Li Hui frowned, thinking that now that Meng Huo had bypassed Dianchi Lake and fled to the southwest, what else could happen in Wei County?

However, thinking that Feng Yong's merits were already enough, even if this southern expedition could be so easy, the strategies he proposed were also not small, and he was deeply favored by the prime minister, so he might not take the credit he wanted to give.

Since he said that there are still things in Wei County, there is no need to force it.

Thinking of this, Li Hui said with relief, "If that's the case, forget it." ”

Then he looked at Zhao Guang and Wang Xun again, and said, "Since Da Lang and you are brothers, then I won't be polite to you." ”

"Governor Li, please tell me."

"Okay." Li Hui bowed, "I'll tell you about the military situation at this time. ”

"Although Dianchi has been pacified, I have no choice but to have too few troops, so I can only rely on my prestige in Nanzhong to stabilize the counties of Yizhou County. If you want to continue to pursue that Meng Shu, it is not easy. ”

"And as far as I know, Meng Shu is preparing to return to Ye Yushui, which is where his foundation is. What's more, the terrain of Yeyushui is treacherous, the mountains and forests are dense, and the barbarians are good at hiding in the forests, and now it is the most serious time for the miasma plague in Nanzhong. ”

"Heaven and earth win people, and we do not occupy them. If he finishes resting there, I'm afraid it will take countless twists and turns to calm down. So now that he is in a state of panic, it is the best time to pursue. ”

Li Hui's gaze fell on Zhao Guang and Wang Xun, "The two of you happened to come over with men and horses, maybe you muster up the spare strength to continue to lead the troops forward?" ”

Zhao Guang hugged his fist excitedly, "When it comes to killing the enemy, does An Dare have any spare strength?" Don't dare to hide from the governor, this time to Dianchi, the last general brought twenty dogs, in the forest to hunt down the enemy, it is the right time. ”

"Dogs?"

Li Hui was stunned.

"That's right. These twenty dogs, but the elder brother specially brought them from Hanzhong, were carefully selected and trained to understand human language. Walking in the woods, they are good at leading the way. ”

Zhao Guang explained.

"My lord, my brother also asked the child to bring the beans over, and the beans are boiled and dried to drink, which can not only relieve the heat, but also detoxify. All the way from Pingyi, the soldiers of the Governor's Mansion drank the bean soup, and there were very few people who had sha. ”

"If you take these beans with you when you go to Ye Yushui, the march will definitely be much easier, and there will be fewer soldiers infected with miasma in the army."

Li Yi also said beside him.

"Do you still have such an effect?" Li Hui was greatly surprised, remembering what Li Yi said all the way from Pingyi, the soldiers rarely had sha, and thought that this alone was enough to make people happy.

It was hot and humid in the south, and the soldiers walked on the road under the scorching sun during the day, and many people fell down because of sha.

Not to mention that it can also detoxify.

"In this way, where are you afraid that Meng Shu will run?"

Li Yi smiled and said, "That's right. My brother said that there are many kinds of miasma in Nanzhong, and as long as you drink this bean soup, some miasma can also be avoided. ”

"Feng Langjun is really ...... What a ......."

As soon as Li Hui said this, he suddenly remembered something.

The year before last, when Hanzhong was reclaimed, Feng Langjun had asked people to give a message to each family, saying that regardless of whether it was newly opened new land or reclaimed cooked land, it was possible to plant more grain after planting the last season of beans first.

Later, it was also proved that the grain in the dry land where beans were planted did grow better.

The old man also sighed at the time that this Feng Langjun had the world in his heart and did not hesitate to learn what he had learned!

It turned out that he had already counted to this day at that time.

Thinking of this, Li Hui couldn't help but be shocked, this son's plan is far-reaching.

Last year, the effect of the beans was verified, so this year's newly opened land in Hanzhong is planted with beans.

This year's beans in Hanzhong are only afraid of a big harvest?

Li Hui looked at Li Yi in disbelief, and heard Da Lang say that he was still going to build a plantation in Nanzhong......

If the beans really have such an effect, then when he opens the plantation, won't the beans in Hanzhong come in handy?

After such a calculation, wouldn't it be a good idea to take advantage of him and make people thank him?
