The relief grain is mainly made of grain bran, sorghum, and bran, supplemented by locust powder, dried fish powder, flour and salt, etc., these things can not eat the dead, after listening to Zhen Qian's explanation, Kibi Zhenbei and Fujiwara Shuo began to be interested in this kind of relief food.

"Can this kind of relief grain be made by Hizen Country?"

"Absolutely!" Zhen Qian asked the two of them to visit the production line of relief grain, which was to prepare to give the two of them the method of making relief food, "My ability alone is limited, if Kibi-kun and Fujiwara-kun are willing to participate in this matter, the output will be expanded dozens of times, and the number of victims who can be saved will be no less than hundreds of thousands, this is a great event of immeasurable merit!" ”

After Zhen Qian's processing, one pound of grain immediately turned into five catties of relief grain, which is equivalent to saving four times as many victims.

Ji Bei Zhenbei has experienced several disaster years, and knows that what Zhen Qian said is not wrong, the hungry people are very hungry and eat, although the relief grain is not food, but it can fill the stomach, which is enough. After tasting a mouthful of relief food, Kibi Zhenbei swore that he would never touch this relief food in the future, it was so unpalatable that it took a few sips of water to swallow it, and the paste soaked in water looked unappetizing, with that ...... What the same, can't think about it anymore!

In the first few years, there are not many officials who do not touch the spring water, and there are even many officials who have exchanged civilian and military roles, Ji Bei Zhenbei is a pragmatic person who understands what he wants to do, although he doesn't know what Zhen Qian's intention is to come up with this set, but the relief food is really good, and it is his political achievement to be able to die one less victim.

Up to now, Kibi Zhenbei no longer doubts whether the locust plague that Zhen Qian said can happen, look at the sacks of locusts in the warehouse, these pests are not Zhen Qian's ability to come out, these are only a very small part of Saga Town, at all Zhen Qian said, locusts are divided into five growth stages, fertilized eggs, pupa, larvae, adults and fully developed stages, now it is only the adult stage of locusts, at most twenty days, and when the adult wings grow into the ability to fly, that is the real disaster, when I think of the overwhelming locusts, Kibi felt like his heart was about to stop beating.

"No! Akiba Village can't stay anymore, we must spread the news of the locust plague as soon as possible, and let Saikaido urgently mobilize to exterminate the locusts! ”

Ji Bei Zhenbei bowed to Zhen Qian and said: "Zhen Lang is benevolent and righteous, tell me the news of the locust plague, etc., and when the locust plague is over, I will definitely report this matter to the emperor and ask Zhen Lang for credit!" This matter cannot be delayed any longer, and I am ready to leave for other Linglu countries immediately, and promote Zhen Lang's method of exterminating locusts and relieving food to the entire Saikaido, hoping to minimize the disaster and take my leave! ”

Fujiwara saw that Kibi was going to leave, and it was impossible for him to stay here longer, so he whispered that Zhen Qian could return to Matsuura City to discuss disaster relief matters.

Zhen Qian thought about it and spent a lot of time in Autumn Leaf Village, after all, it was inconvenient to send messages here, especially at this time, he had to personally sit in command, what was going on in Saga Town.

"I'll arrange things here, and I'll go back to Songpu City in two days!"

When Fujiwara Shuxiong heard Zhen Qian's words, it seemed that he had a backbone, this was his first time in power, and he really didn't know the bottom of his heart when he encountered a disaster year, but with Zhen Qian's strategist, it seemed that everything had become much simpler.

Kibi Shinbei and Fujiwara Shuo rushed back overnight, the disaster changed day by day, and Kibi Shinbei was not allowed to relax at all, the locust plague did not affect only one place, the entire Saikaido was a disaster area, and he had to visit all Saikaido before the disaster came, and the task was arduous!

As soon as Zhen Qian returned to the room, Toyotomi Hideyoshi probed his brain outside the door, and Zhen Qian happened to see him, "Come in!" But what's the matter? ”

Toyotomi Hideyoshi immediately knelt down in front of Zhen Qian, and said in a low voice: "The subordinates have two things to return to the master, the first thing is about Iwami Village, I have purchased a thousand acres of land in Iwami Village, and arranged for twenty reliable tenants to live in, and the news has just come back." The second thing was that the people who had been sent to various parts of Saikaido to purchase grain came back with news that the price of grain had begun to rise, and asked if they wanted to continue hoarding grain. ”

Zhen Qian smiled, smiling like a little fox who had just stolen a hen, this is the benefit of foresight!

In this era, there is no Iwami Silver Mountain, but Iwami Village already exists, it is a small and remote village, there are only dozens of villagers, life is very poor, a lot of silver money is scattered, the land in Iwami Village was purchased by Zhen Qiandu, and when all the aborigines of Iwami Village are moved, Iwami Village has become a real hidden place, and then quietly immigrated to open mines, and it will definitely not be discovered by outsiders in a short time.

Iwami Silver Mountain has been coveted by Zhen Qian for a long time, if you directly buy the mining rights from the local government, not only will the matter be exposed, but also you will not get any benefits, a fool will let a silver mountain be mined by private individuals, and the conceivable result is that the government will divide the entire Iwami Silver Mountain into a forbidden area and send prisoners to mine.

As for whether Iwami Silver Mountain will be discovered by the government in the future, Zhen Qian does not want to think about this issue for the time being, there is no eternal secret in the world, as long as Zhen Qian is given ten years, the silver mined from Iwami Silver Mountain is enough for Zhen Qian to use force to negotiate with the Japanese State.

As for the people who purchased grain from all over Saikaido, they had already been sent out, and a steady stream of grain was being transported to Saga Town through various channels, so if it weren't for the fear that buying out of Saikaido's grain at once would alarm the grain merchants and the government of Saikaido, the price of grain in the entire Saikaido would have risen to sky-high prices by now!

After more than two months of secretly purchasing grain, the grain stock in the Wufeng Islands has now reached more than 200,000 stones, enough for more than 10,000 people on the island to eat for five or six years.

"Iwami Village is slowly transporting the population to the past, the road from Iwami Mountain to the sea should be repaired as soon as possible, the purchase of grain can be slowed down, it won't be long before the news of the locust plague spreads, and the price of grain in the market will definitely grow wildly, so there is no need to participate, let them pay more attention to the slave market, the more women and children, the better, and the cheap labor for mining also needs a lot, these things must not attract the attention of the local government!"

"No!" Toyotomi Hideyoshi left with joy, and when he passed by Yamamoto Fifty-six, he raised his head and looked at the sky at a forty-five degree angle, and said with a smug look on his face: "Oh, Brother Yamamoto, there is a shortage of manpower in the Fengmingshan Silver Mine, and the price of slaves has plummeted in the disaster year, and the mine needs slaves to talk to their brothers ......, haha!" ”
