"Isn't the new rice coming on the market now? Can Dinghai County buy food? Shen Yue didn't believe that Yang Fu didn't go to buy food.

If Yang Fu didn't know how to buy a large amount of grain when he encountered such a thing, this housekeeper would have to be replaced.

"Young master, it stands to reason that now is the time for grain merchants to dispose of old rice. This time, the disaster was widespread, and many surrounding places planted mulberry trees and jute instead of grain, especially in Shaoxing and Suzhou in the north...... Several grain stores in Dinghai County have hung up signs saying that there is no grain. Yang Fu said with a bitter face.

Shen Yue knew that the grain merchant saw that the new rice was not on the market, and in the event of a disaster, he naturally had to take the opportunity to make a profit.

After all, there are still more than ten days before the new rice goes on the market.

How many days of food can an ordinary family have?

In the past, when new rice was put on the market, the price of old rice naturally had to be reduced, and the disaster was a disaster for ordinary people, and an opportunity for grain merchants to make a fortune.

"Shen Yue, you have to find a way to get rid of these people, Longshan can't leave them!" Xu Yaozong said to Shen Yue again.

"Uncle rest assured, the little nephew will solve it as soon as possible." Shen Yue knew that when the victims of the disaster gathered together, as long as someone instigated it, it was easy to rebel.

"What are you going to do with it?" Xu Yaozong frowned and said, "I can lend you a hundred stones for food." There are not many, and my soldiers and a large family need to be fed. ”

"Thank you, uncle." Xu Yaozong can support 100 stone grain, which is indeed very good, although it is not much, he also has thousands of soldiers and family members to support. "The little nephew recently reached an agreement with the commander of Ding Haiwei, Lord Qian Longxi, to assign Daishan Island to the little nephew's guard of the Thousand Households, and the island should be able to accommodate thousands of people."

"What if there were more people?" Xu Yaozong asked. "What's more, even if you cultivate land on the island, you will have to wait until next year if you have a harvest."

"As long as you survive these ten days. Just because the coastal areas have been affected does not mean that other places have also been affected. If you can't buy food in Shaoxing Mansion and Jiaxing Mansion, you can go to Hangzhou Mansion or go to Nanzhili ......" Shen Yue said.

For him, this is a crisis and an opportunity.

Xu Yaozong asked Shen Yue to get rid of the victims within three days, and he didn't care about the rest, so he left the Shen family.

"Yue'er, now, how can it be? So many disaster victims...... Qin Yulian was so made by these victims that she didn't even dare to go out, and Shen Yue came back, as if she had found the backbone.

It stands to reason that she would not do this to the victims.

But this matter was announced by the housekeeper Yang Fu in the name of the Shen family, and no one came before the disaster, so he didn't feel anything.

Most people suffered, especially many people's grain in the fields was blown down by the wind and rain, and enough was paid to the landlords, not even enough to pay the imperial court, not to mention that many people were people who lost their land, their houses were destroyed, and they did not even have a place to live.

"Mother, don't worry, the child will solve it. It seems to be a crisis for us, but it is also an opportunity. Shen Yue said.

"Where's the opportunity? You have to know, Shengmien, fight Mi Qiu. Qin Yulian's brows squeezed together, "Once our family has no food and can't continue to give porridge, if someone instigates it, our whole family will have to suffer......

There are more than 100,000 taels of silver piled up in the courtyard of the Shen family, once the victims know about it, and someone with a heart instigates it, Qin Yulian doesn't dare to think about the consequences.

"I'm going to find the Zhang family, and the rich people in Dinghai County!" Shen Yue said.

He saved the rich families in Dinghai County, and now he needs food, if those rich families are too much, Shen Yue will definitely not mind letting people rob them again.

When he arrived at Zhang's house, Zhang Shanlu was waiting for Shen Yue.

"I know you need food, so I discussed it with all the households in the county and raised a thousand stones of grain, but the price is ......" Zhang Shanlu did not beat around the bush.

As soon as Shen Yue heard this, he immediately sneered, Zhang Shanlu is calling Huazi?

"Uncle, the 3,000 acres of fertile land that the Shen family used to pay off their debts also have to produce thousands of stones of grain, right?" Shen Yue asked unceremoniously.

For the Zhang family, if there is no hatred at all, it is false.

It's just that the Zhang family is the best partner that Shen Yue can find.

Hearing Shen Yue's words, Zhang Shanlu couldn't help but smile bitterly, "It seems that you kid doesn't know anything, more than half of your Zhang's family's 3,000 acres of fertile land are planted with mulberry trees, and the remaining half are planted with jute, and the land for growing grain is less than 1,000 acres...... Mulberry trees have only been planted for a year or two, don't you know? ”

This time it was Shen Yue's turn to become more and more blind.

He didn't even know where the Shen family's 3,000 acres of fertile land were.

Not to mention what's planted on it.

Like the Industrial Revolution in Britain, the rise of the textile industry led to the rise of the movement of sheep breeding in the United Kingdom, resulting in the tragedy of sheep eating people.

A large amount of farmland along the coast of the Ming Dynasty was turned into mulberry fields and hemp fields because of the rise of maritime trade.

"We don't have many textile workshops here!" Shen Yue was a little unconvinced.

"Where there are maritime merchants, there are workshops. Dinghai does not have it, but Ningbo Mansion does! Zhang Shanlu said. This natural disaster has made the price of rice, which is already higher than in other places, even higher. Grain merchants need to make money......"

"If people starve to death, whose money will they make?" Shen Yue retorted a little weakly.

Even more than half of his own family's original land was planted with mulberry trees, so how could he blame others?

But now he is short of food, "The grain merchant in Dinghai County, how much silver is the grain ready to sell for one stone?" Shen Yue asked Zhang Shanlu.

As soon as he came, he knew that the rice here was sold for two taels and eight yuan a stone, and now, the new rice was about to go on the market, and it should be reduced to about two taels of silver.

In the event of a disaster, it cannot be so cheap.

"Four taels or five dollars to about five taels." Zhang Shanlu said, "The new rice is on the market, and there is still half a moon at the earliest, but this typhoon weather has destroyed a lot ......of grain," Zhang Shanlu said calmly, "With the people under your command, a thousand stone grain can last for a long time." ”

"At what price are they going to sell this thousand stones?"

"Three or two." Zhang Shanlu said. "Among them, there are 500 stones from my Zhang family, which will be given to you for free. If you agree to marry Qiao'er, I will raise 10,000 stones of grain for you as Qiao'er's dowry! ”

Zhang Shanlu's words made Shen Yue stunned for a while.

Zhang Shanlu is striking while the fire is blowing.

"Hehehehe......" Zhang Shanlu's words made Shen Yue laugh.

"It's not funny." When Zhang Shanlu saw Shen Yue's attitude, his face suddenly became gloomy, "Such a family affair, others can't ask for it." ”

"Then why does Master Zhang need to find a kid? The kid is just a talent who has been dismissed from fame. Shen Yue's face also turned cold, "Don't say that I have a marriage with the Xu family, even if I have not decided to marry, in such a situation, I will not agree to your conditions!" ”

Zhang Shanlu was so eager to marry Zhang Qiao'er to him, if there was no problem, Shen Yue would not believe it.

Even if there is no hatred between the two families, the misunderstanding has been cleared up.

"You really don't think about it?" Zhang Shanlu asked Shen Yue in an unkind tone.
