Chapter 260 Calculation

Cao Zhen complained to Lu Ye. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Lu Ye has no good way, the snow disaster is a natural disaster. If you want to change through manpower, then you will need to pay less.

What do you need for disaster relief?

Money, food. Both are indispensable.

If Lu Ye was given enough money and food, Lu Ye would certainly have a way to help Cao Cao survive this snow disaster. But is Cao Cao willing to give?

Money may be willing, but food is not necessarily willing.

Is there any food in Xuducheng?

Yes.

In the city of Xudu, at least there are close to 100,000 stones of grain hidden, and with the grain in the Taiping, there is at least 200,000 stones.

If all this food can be mobilized for disaster relief, then this snow disaster will definitely be a very simple matter to solve.

But now, Cao Cao will be transferred, and those who are willing to be mobilized don't know if there are 10,000 stones.

"How much food do you have in your house now?" Lu Ye asked.

Cao Zhen didn't know what Lu Ye was thinking, but he still answered Lu Ye honestly: "There aren't many." ”

"How much is not a lot?" Lu Ye asked.

“……。”

Looking at Cao Zhen's spitting appearance, Lu Ye knew that he must have a lot of food stored at home.

"Tsk, I saw you complaining before, I thought you were really a good person who worried about the country and the people, isn't it no different from those guys? Why, do you want to take this opportunity to make a national disaster? ”

With a brush, Cao Zhen stood up violently.

"What do you mean by that?"

Maybe it's because the words "national disaster and wealth" are too harsh, which makes Cao Zhen feel a little unacceptable.

"If I don't have these thoughts, then why don't you scatter all those stocks in your house? For disaster relief? Lu Ye said.

Cao Zhen said: "My family's food storage is only 10,000 stones, even if it is all dispersed, how many days can those victims eat?" ”

When Lu Ye heard this, he had more information in his heart.

With the management ability of Cao Zhen's family, he has already stored ten thousand stones' grain, and the grain in the hands of other gate valve families is only a lot more.

"Save a little is a little bit...... Lu Ye said.

Cao Zhen waved his hand helplessly: "It's useless, it's like you throw a handful of green salt into the lake, it won't have any effect." ”

Lu Ye smiled lightly: "Is this really the case?" Or is it that you are reluctant to give up your wealth at all ......? ”

"Ten thousand stone of grain, if it is in previous years, it is worth twenty or thirty thousand yuan, right?" Lu Ye said.

"With a paper mill, your family still lacks two or three hundred thousand yuan of profits? It's really long hair and short insight! Lu Ye said.

Cao Zhen was a little dissatisfied and wanted to refute, but he didn't know where to start.

Lu Ye sighed slightly in his heart, in fact, it was not so strange for such a thing to happen, but it was a very normal thing.

How did a landlord and a gate valve make a fortune?

It is a natural disaster, and it is a man-made disaster within the controllable range.

The outbreak of natural disasters is of course a catastrophe for the poor, but it is a good opportunity for the rich to make a fortune.

In these years, what rich man's cellar does not have a few thousand stones of grain in it? With food, even if the wind and clouds are surging outside, and the mountains and seas are overturned, you can still live peacefully and steadily in your own small world.

Grain, in such years, is worth more than gold.

How do rich people get rich?

In such a disaster year, ordinary peasant families are tired and tired all year round, but it is only a way to break even, and when it comes to disaster years, there is no food at home.

Their grain has long been handed over to the landlords.

If there is no food, they can only buy it, and the price of food has skyrocketed in disaster years, how much can farmers afford with the money in their hands?

So I had to go to the rich man's house to borrow food.

You can't borrow something without evidence, so you need to mortgage it. In such a disaster year, either use people, use land, or mortgage houses. Nothing else can be found other than these three.

When the food they handed over themselves finally returned to their own hands, they paid a different price.

So the farmer spent the rest of his life working for the rich.

This is how the landlord came into being.

And the gate valve is that one after another landlords gathered together and became a family.

"If you are willing, this 10,000 stone of food, if you want to use some hands and feet, it will not be a problem to feed tens of thousands of people."

Cao Zhen's eyes lit up suddenly, he had long known that Lu Ye had many ideas, and he was also a little surprised when he heard Lu Ye's words at this time.

One stone of rice, converted into a modern unit of measurement, is about 120 catties. If everyone wants to eat enough for a day, they must at least start with a pound of rice.

One stone of rice can only give forty people three meals a day.

10,000 stone is only enough to meet the needs of 400,000 people a day.

After a day, where do you go from here?

"Now around Xudu City, the number of victims has already exceeded 300,000...... Although efforts were made to distribute the porridge shack every day, the supply was limited ....... ”

In these years, the method of disaster relief is the same, just give them some food to hang their lives, and they will not die, and they will not take care of other things.

As a result, many victims are waiting for porridge to be put in the porridge shed every day, and then mixed to eat and wait for death.

The food chain of the strong is also more vividly reflected in this situation.

If you are strong and strong, of course you can't eat enough in a bowl of porridge, so your eyes are on others.

Burn, kill, rob, and do all kinds of evil.

The bottom of such a society is often the place where countless evils are born.

These things are still under Lu Ye's care.

It's just that in the past few days, there has been a lot of inevitable chaos in Xu Ducheng.

Lu Ye hadn't been out of the house for a long time since he visited those officials after the New Year, and the haze dissipated a little today, Lu Ye glanced at Cao Zhen, knowing that there might be no way to talk about many things today, so he smiled and said, "Why don't we go out for a walk?" ”

Lu Ye wanted to see what kind of predicament those victims were in.

Cao Zhen was silent for a moment before nodding.

didn't bring anyone else, Lu Ye only followed Minister Lu by his side, a group of three, and walked towards the outside of the city.

In fact, before leaving the city, you can already feel some different atmosphere.

There were many more ragged victims in the streets, their faces were pale, and the eyes of the occasional single person appeared green.

Then they disappeared or around the corner.

On the edge of the city wall, at this time, there are piles of disaster victims, and the cold wind in this kind of place cannot blow, and it is very warm.

Lu Ye's expression remained unchanged, he had seen even more miserable scenes.

So for some situations outside the city, I already have some calculations in my heart.
