Seeing the different reactions of Kibi Zhenbei and Fujiwara Shuo, Zhen Qian knew that Jibi Zhenbei understood the meaning of his words, this kind of thing could be said by himself, but he couldn't do it, if there was no Jibi Zhenbei, Zhen Gan's worries would be less, but the existence of Jibi Zhenbei made Zhen Qian have to act cautiously, Jibi Zhenbei is not as easy to deal with as Fujiwara Shuxiong.

"I'll talk about disaster relief first!"

Zhen Qian sorted out the normal disaster relief process in ancient times in his mind, it seems that most of them are tearing down the east wall to make up the west wall, which is very passive, and there are not many passive disaster relief in history, otherwise there would not be so many peasant uprisings in history.

"If it's a disaster relief, then it's time to start hoarding food, and the granaries everywhere have to start inventory. There must not be grain in the account and no grain in the warehouse, otherwise when the disaster breaks out, there will be no grain in the warehouse, and it will cost people's lives. Hungry people are everywhere, if people can't fill their stomachs, there will be no more rituals, at that time, in order to fill their stomachs, killing, arsoning, killing, looting, and even eating everything in order to fill their stomachs, ....... ”

Fujiwara Brush Monkey also thought of this just now.,Disaster relief? Of course, it's going to open a warehouse to help the victims, as for the grain in the warehouse, it seems that there are still a lot of them in Hizen Country, and Kibi Zhenbei just promised to sell 150,000 stone of grain to Hizen Country, so it should be about the same! Thinking of this, Fujiwara Shuxiong feels that this locust plague doesn't seem to be very terrible!

"That's right! I will immediately send people back to check the grain in the warehouses in various places, and the Hizen country should be able to survive this locust plague! Fujiwara said with confidence.

"It's still inexperienced!"

Zhen Qian slandered in his heart, Fujiwara Shuxiong has only been in power for a few months, and he is still immersed in the joy of taking power for the first time, thinking about the locust plague is too simple, if it is really like Fujiwara Shuxiong's mouth, how light, he is worried about a fart!

Ji Bei Zhenbei couldn't sit still, he was still too young, as an elder, if he didn't mention Fujiwara at this time, he would really let Zhen Qian see the big joke of the Japanese officials.

"Fujiwara-kun, disaster is not as simple as you think?" Kibi Zhenbei has a good impression of Fujiwara Shuxiong, a junior, especially Hizen Country has done a good job in his hands for a few months, such a young man will exercise for a few more years, he must be the pillar of the country, now is the time to accumulate experience, he has the responsibility to teach, so he said: "Let me ask you, how many people are in Hizen Country, how much food does one person eat in half a year, and how much grain is in the warehouse of Hizen Country, do you know in your heart?" ”

Fujiwara Shuo didn't know why Kibi Zhenbei suddenly asked, so he quickly calculated in his mind: "The registered population of Hizen Country is 265,381 people, and ordinary people seem to eat two liters a day, which is 360 liters in half a year, which is equivalent to three stones and six buckets, and all the people in Hizen Country will consume about 900,000 ...... in half a year." ”

"Note: In the Tang Dynasty, one stone was equal to 10 buckets, 1 bucket was equal to 10 liters, and 1 liter was equal to 10 he, and one stone was equivalent to about 120 catties."

Fujiwara Shuxiong's arithmetic is not bad, and his mental arithmetic is also very fast, but when he said 900,000 stones, he suddenly seemed to be choked by something, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

Kibi Zhenbei nodded, knowing why Fujiwara Shuo couldn't speak, nine hundred thousand stones! What kind of concept is that, stacked together can fill a hundred indoor basketball courts, and does the country have so much grain in Hizen?

Strictly speaking, there are still some in the Hizen country, of course, the grain is not in the official warehouse, but in the hands of the grain merchants, but the question arises again, can 900,000 stone grain really survive this locust plague? No! Kibi Shinbei and Fujiwara both know that more than 265,000 people are just good citizens according to official statistics, and there are a large number of slaves who are not on the yellow book of the government at all, if the disaster relief is not good, even 1.8 million stone of grain may not be able to alleviate the locust plague in Hizen Country, this is only Hizen Country, what about other places?

Kibi Shinbei thinks more than Fujiwara Brusho, and knows more about the crisis that the locust plague will bring to the entire Saikaido, and if the Hizen country is in trouble, people from other places will flood into the Hizen country, and no amount of food will be enough, which is a more terrible disaster than the locust plague.

Kibi Shinbei explained to Fujiwara Brusho: "Disaster relief is not simply looking at how much food is in the warehouse, sometimes no matter how much food is useless, I know that the current storage of grain in the warehouse of Hizen Province should be less than 200,000, even if you count the 150,000 stone of grain that I am going to move from Kyoto, the gap in disaster relief is still very large, which is secondary." In times of disaster, the people will have an inexplicable panic, usually a stone of food stored at home is enough, but in times of famine, they will be crazy to store food. At this time, the grain merchants will hoard Juqi to create a greater food shortage, so that the people's panic will intensify, and the food shortage will be infinitely magnified, even if the government comes forward to refute the rumors, it will not help, what are you going to do in such a situation? ”

Fujiwara Brush Male wanted to open his mouth and say: Kill all those grain merchants who are hoarding and hoarding, but the problem is not so simple, if killing can solve the problem, do you still use Kibi Zhenbei to tell yourself?

"What then?"

Most of the grain is in the hands of grain merchants, spend money to buy it! Not to mention that the grain chamber will not sell all the grain to Fujiwara Shuxiong, even money is also a big problem.

One stone of grain costs more than 200 wen in Feiqian Country, and this is still before the price of grain has not risen, even if you buy 500,000 stone of grain from a grain merchant, it is 100,000 yuan! It hurts to think about it!

At this time, Ji Bei Zhenbei looked at Zhen Qian, of course he had a way, but now he wanted to see what Zhen Qian said?

Zhen Qian saw that Ji Bei Zhenbei was looking at him, shrugged his shoulders, and said that he couldn't do anything, this was not the time for him to behave, and the affairs of Hizen Country were ...... his own affairs.

Seeing that Zhen Qian was reluctant to say, Ji Bei Zhenbei sighed in his heart, knowing that Zhen Qian had complaints about himself in his heart, so he opened his mouth and said to Fujiwara Shuxiong: "Disaster relief is only a means in the later stage, even if it is to buy food from grain merchants, it is only an expedient measure, the key is how to prevent disasters, only by reducing disasters to a minimum, can disaster relief become easier, but if you tell Hizen Country that disaster is coming soon, I am afraid that Hizen Country will be in chaos immediately, so disaster prevention and disaster relief must be prepared in your heart, You have to think about countermeasures in advance! ”

Kibi Zhenbei said the method of dealing with disasters he had encountered before, and said earnestly to Fujiwara Shuxiong: "Fujiwara-kun, don't panic when you encounter a disaster, think about the countermeasures first, and consider all kinds of possibilities clearly, even if it is the most tough means, don't worry, the most afraid is that the will of the many people is not firm, once you make up your mind, you will continue to do it, don't be afraid of offending people, you must remember this!" ”
