Wei Xuanzhen listened to it, and suddenly realized that Mr. Huang was really thoughtful, after all, no one knew if the Chen family would regret it, the price of this grain would be one price a day in the future, and if it was regretted at that time, I was afraid that it would cause some disputes.

Although the transaction is troublesome, but the immediate delivery is the most real, Mr. Huang and the old man are a little less lucky, but ...... But it is also a rare talent.

"In that case, then it's up to you."

Chen Zhengtai replied very briskly.

Immediately, the Wei family ordered someone to take the land deed, and asked the people of Jingzhao Mansion to guarantee it, and that night, the endless Wei family grain trucks came, which was mighty and spectacular.

In the second half of the night, these trivial matters were finally completed, Wei Xuanzhen breathed a sigh of relief, and Huang Chenggong smiled on the side, and couldn't help but say: "The proprietor, this Chen family is really lucky, this time they are cheaper, but ...... Now that the proprietor has food, he can rest easy. I look at Chen Zhengtai, but he is just a child who doesn't know the world, haha...... It's really stupid to not know that food is the foundation in disaster years, and such a person can't keep his family business. ”

Wei Xuanzhen subconsciously nodded his head and exclaimed: "What Mr. Huang is best at is knowing people, since Mr. Huang has a taste of that kid, then it will not be wrong, but fortunately, this person is stupid, otherwise, it is really not easy to exchange these grains." ”

"This is all because of the proprietor's resoluteness, and when the price of food is unattainable in a few days, it will be too late for that kid to regret it."

……

After sending Wei Xuanzhen and the others away, Chen Zhengtai's mind was still a little dazed.

To tell the truth, this catastrophe has come, he only thinks about saving people in his heart, his granary, hoarding tens of thousands of stones of grain, Chen Zhengtai is a conscientious person, he is unwilling to do the things that make a fortune from the disaster.

But who would have thought that there would be two guys who came to buy their own food.

Mader ...... Retarded!

Oh, by the way, it's time to prepare for disaster relief.

Chen Zhengtai almost didn't sleep all night, he couldn't sleep excitedly, 100,000 acres of land, although the real grain field is only more than 10,000 acres, but the mountains and forests and rivers are also very valuable.

This is nearly 50 square kilometers, equivalent to the administrative area of a town in later generations, and now it is owned by the Chen family.

Chen Zhengtai never dreamed of such a good thing in his previous life.

Although he sold 15,000 stone grain, he still had tens of thousands of stone grain in his hand.

So...... The grain sold, for Chen Zhengtai, will not hurt his muscles and bones.

But this land is worth a lot of meaningful things.

Got rich.

……

The next day, sure enough...... The overwhelming flying locusts have begun to appear in the streets and alleys of Chang'an, covering the sky and the sun, and making people feel desperate.

This one, which was originally a docile flying insect, is now ...... It was as if they had eaten Vergon, and suddenly they became extremely violent, and everywhere they passed, all the green was turned to nothing.

At this time...... Chen Zhengtai hurriedly invited Li Chengqian and Princess Sui'an to come.

In front of the two of them, Chen Zhengtai looked very serious, and said: "Senior brother, junior sister, now this Jingzhao Mansion is full of flying locusts, and the disaster has reached the point where it cannot be delayed. ”

Speaking...... In the lobby of the Chen family, several locusts flew in, flapping their wings and making a buzzing sound.

Princess Sui'an said: "What Senior Brother said is too good. ”

Li Chengqian didn't look like he had woken up, and when he saw the flying locusts in the sky, he only felt very fresh.

Of course...... It's not that he doesn't have a conscience, he is the crown prince, he has been pampered since he was a child, and he has never experienced hunger.

Don't say it's a locust plague, even if the flood floods the entire Chang'an now, he, the crown prince, must be unharmed, and there are enough people around him to take care of him.

So he didn't think the situation was serious, but felt that the flying insects in the sky had added a little novelty to his boring life.

Chen Zhengtai pressed his hand and said to Princess Sui'an, who was always excited in front of him: "Senior sister, I haven't finished talking yet, after I finish speaking, you can comment on whether I said it was good or not." Ahem......"

Immediately, Chen Zhengtai said: "Nowadays, there are 47,000 stones of grain in Erpigou, and in addition, there are tens of thousands ......of chickens and ducks."

"Yo." When Li Chengqian heard this, he suddenly felt that the corners of his mouth were a little moist: "There are so many chickens?" ”

Chen Zhengtai: "......"

ri！

"Your Highness, please be serious."

"Okay, okay, you go on."

"We should give relief to the people in the name of our teacher, I think about it, I can't settle so many displaced people and help so many people with my own strength, only with the help of my junior brother and sister can we get things done. If you think about it carefully, the current disaster relief is to immediately release chickens and ducks to devour the locusts and alleviate the disaster. The second is to recruit displaced people, resettle them, and provide relief through work...... In addition, it is necessary to do everything possible to put grain into the market and stabilize food prices......"

Li Chengqian became serious: "Where did you get so many chickens and ducks?" ”

"I bought it a long time ago, and the chicken lays the egg, and the egg lays the chicken......"

Li Chengqian couldn't help but hesitate: "But why didn't anyone lay eggs and chickens before?" ”

“……”

Chen Zhengtai couldn't understand why this guy was always interested in chickens.

In fact...... This is a very simple truth, chickens and ducks are actually very food-consuming, and ordinary people may raise a few chickens to lay eggs.

They can be allowed to hatch eggs out of chickens, but they will not be, because ...... Once the number of chickens is exceeded, it is inevitable that millet will be needed, and it is very luxurious to use millet to feed chickens in this era.

But Chen Zhengtai is different, he buys a large number of chickens and ducks, and also tries his best to hatch chicks, this chicken's raw ability is extraordinary, more than two months, enough to form a huge scale.

"Senior brother, this matter ...... Do you want to do it? ”

Li Chengqian thought for a while: "Okay, listen to you!" ”

The reason why the prince was brought in was because Chen Zhengtai needed to use the manpower of the East Palace to resettle the people on such a large scale, distribute food, and stabilize prices, which was not a trivial matter.

Seeing Li Chengqian nodded, Chen Zhengtai was overjoyed.

……

When the third uncle heard that Chen Zhengtai was going to provide disaster relief, he fell ill all of a sudden.

He's too hard.

Finally, I saw that the family had improved a little.

Who knew that there was a loser in the family.

In his opinion, the more catastrophic the year, the more it is a good time for a family like the Chen family to expand.

The affairs of the imperial court, what does it matter to our Chen family?

Even if the emperor came to ask for food, the Chen family would never give it.

The clan could provide talent to the ruler, and at the same time, the ruler also provided the clan with many high-ranking officials, which was a matter of course at the time.

Even the Chen family can support the Northern Zhou Emperor, the Sui Yang Emperor, Wang Shichong, and Li Jiancheng, but ...... Support is to serve them, but if you give money and food, there is no door!

Because the reason is very simple, money and food are the foundation of a family, how can it be easily given to people?

And...... In the past hundred years, dynasties have changed very quickly, and countless dynasties that were extremely powerful for a while have perished.

From the Eastern Jin Dynasty to the present, in the entire north, the life span of a dynasty is more than a few decades, and the life span is more than ten years, which has formed an inherent impression in the hearts of many families, that is, ...... The emperor is just a marquee, where can he invest all the capital of his whole family in a son of heaven.

After a few years, if Li Tang is finished, then he will really rest with the country, and the family that has lasted for hundreds of years will be about to collapse.

Now...... The Tang Dynasty has only been established for ten years, and at this moment, no one will believe that this dynasty can last for two hundred and eighty years.

In the concept of the third uncle, I am afraid that this Tang Dynasty, like the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the Great Sui, is just a flash in the pan, and maybe after ten or twenty years, it will be gone.

Hey, Zhengtai is a child after all, he doesn't understand this truth, the old man is different, the old man has lived for more than sixty years, has gone through four dynasties, and the old man eats more salt than anyone else in this Chen family except for Chen Fu.

Helping the court to help the people go crazy......

Chen Zhengtai is very busy and has no time to take care of the third uncle. It's okay to be sick or healthy...

By this time, the price of grain in Chang'an had risen sevenfold.

Almost all the families who have some food hide their food, and in the year of the catastrophe, the first thing to usher in is a great panic.

It's just that...... When the price of food rises sevenfold, it is assumed by everyone that the price will continue to rise...... Food prices, however, are slowly beginning to stabilize, and even ...... It's already starting to show a downward momentum.

Because at this moment, the Chen family has begun to distribute grain, and everyone can buy three catties of grain at the usual grain price.

All of a sudden, the entire Erpigou was overcrowded, and there were people everywhere who came to buy grain.

Although there are too many people who come, very few people can buy it, but ...... This has given many people a psychological expectation that if there is cheap grain to buy, why buy seven times as much grain from the profiteers, they would rather spend a few days slowly queuing up than ask other grain stores.

And at this time...... Countless chickens and ducks, under the leadership of Li Chengqian, have been released from the cage.

Countless chickens and ducks are stocked all over the mountains, and in order to feed these chickens and ducks, the Chen family has spent a lot of grain.

But now it's different, this flying locust flying in the sky has just become the most valuable meal for chickens and ducks.

The locusts that plague now are known as the East Asian locusts in later generations, and once they become a plague, the body secretes toxins.

Of course, this toxin is very effective in birds, but because the dosage of the toxin in the body of a single locust is very small, for chickens and ducks...... It's actually not high.

At this time, these chickens and ducks have not been fed much for many days, and they are as skinny as wood, and their bodies are staggering out of the cage.

Especially the sand duck, like a rat falling into a rice bowl.

Originally, chickens and ducks would be picky, but now they are very hungry and have eaten one after another.

On the other side, Erpigou began to post a guide to the use of 'locusts', which clearly indicated that locusts have a certain degree of toxicity, and if you want to eat a large amount, you can use 35 ways to eat them.
