Money and food are in a hurry, and this matter really can't be taken lightly, if there is no food, then the construction of the base will be in a state of stagnation. (The text was first published in the reading cabinet http://biquge.info.)
biquge.info) If there is no food to feed the tens of thousands of people who come to invest, let alone construction at that time, it will be good if these people do not riot. And now that we don't have any cash on hand, how can we buy food?
If Liu Yi was still in Luoyang, he really wouldn't worry about the urgency of money and food. In Luoyang, there will be an endless stream of people from all over the Han Dynasty to deliver grain, as long as there is money, then you will be able to buy food by studying. Of course, in Luoyang, it is much more convenient and faster to make money than in Zhuo County, Zhuo County. It's a big deal, Liu Yi brewed a little more Huaichun wine, and if he took it out and sold it, he would be rich again.
In fact, as long as you are in Luoyang, not only selling wine, but also many things that can make money, Liu Yi may be able to make a fortune by casually making some new things from the encyclopedia of solar mobile phones.
But it's a pity, this is Zhuo County, Zhuo County, not the flowery Luoyang, the local people, because they have not been affected by natural disasters and military disasters, ordinary people, are just barely able to survive, where will there be any spare money to buy new things that Liu Yi has made? Don't say it's a valuable thing, even if Liu Yi gets a toothbrush, a piece of soap or something, he may not be able to buy it in Zhuo County, Zhuo County. Therefore, if you want to get these in Zhuo County, you don't have to think about making money from these things.
Of course, if you can build the base as much as possible, these things can be done in the future, but it is still the same sentence, far water can't save near fire, and now there are only more than ten or twenty days for Liu Yi to think of a way.
For more than ten or twenty days, even if you take money from Luoyang to transport grain, it will be too late, so you still have to find a way in the local area.
But what is there to think of locally?
After discussing with Tian Feng, Liu Yi suddenly found that in Zhuo County, Zhuo County, there are no real wealthy scholars, and there are no real big merchants, and the ordinary local rich can only be regarded as local tyrants of the middle and lower classes. These local tyrants, most of them are self-sufficient, and it is estimated that there is not much surplus food, even if they have money, they are in the embarrassing situation of having nowhere to buy grain in Zhuo County, Zhuo County.
Fifty thousand people, although they consume tens of thousands of catties of grain in one day, it is hundreds of thousands in ten days, and Zhuo County and Zhuo County are so big, which grain merchant can supply so much grain?
If you want to say that there is no money, in fact, how much Liu Yi still has on hand, that is, the money donated by the emperor and raised in Luoyang, although part of this money is also used, but there are still tens of thousands of taels in the hands of Xi Zhicai, he will come to this base with Yan Liangwen Chou, and when the time comes, the money will also be brought together. Therefore, although there is an urgent need for money and food, it has not yet reached the point where there is no way to think about it, and the most important thing is the question of where to get a large amount of food.
Without further ado, although Zhuo County and Zhuo County could not buy too much grain, they had to send people to the county seat as soon as possible to buy all the grain sold by the grain merchants in the city. Fortunately, only Liu Yi and Tian Feng knew in their hearts that if the news spread, those grain merchants would probably sit on the ground and raise prices.
Zhuo County Zhuo County couldn't solve the problem of grain procurement, so Liu Yi could only set his sights on the neighboring county towns.
With Zhuo County and Zhuo County as the center, there is no need to think about Yuyang to the north, where the war has just been experienced, most of the people have fled, even if there are big gentry and food, I am afraid that they will be robbed by the rebels early in the morning, even if they are not robbed, it is estimated that they have also been requisitioned by Gongsun Zhan.
Fanyang, the capital of Youzhou, a hundred miles to the northeast, is estimated to be able to buy a lot of grain there, but Fanyang City is under a high degree of martial law all the year round, and the materials there are in the hands of the government, and it may not be too easy to buy a large amount of grain in Fanyang. If Liu Yi shows his identity to negotiate, then reading will definitely attract the attention of the government. Although Liu Yi wants to be high-profile now, this is limited to being high-profile among the people, and he does not want to attract the attention of the government and some local forces immediately.
built a small city as a disaster relief grain officer, and privately owned thousands of soldiers and horses, hehe, once this news is known to the imperial court, it is estimated that Liu Yi will not have to go back to Luoyang.
Therefore, it is not feasible to go to Fanyang to purchase, so there are only Daijun in the northwest, Yicheng in the southwest, and Zhongshan in the farther away. If you want to get food, you have to find ways from the counties and towns in these directions.
However, the situation in Youzhou area is almost the same as that of Zhuo County, even if there has been no natural or man-made disaster, I am afraid that the local people will not be too rich, if it is not for a few big wealthy families and big businessmen who intend to hoard grain, I am afraid that no one will be able to have too much grain to sell. The most important thing is that last year, the Yellow Turban Riot swept the whole Han, where else is there no shortage of food?
In this way, it was difficult for Liu Yi and Tian Feng to think of a way to solve the food problem in the next month or two at once.
Where can I buy food?
For a few days, Tian Feng sent people to Zhuojun City to buy grain, and only purchased more than 100,000 catties in total, and almost all the grain in the hands of the grain merchants in Zhuojun City had been purchased here.
Two days later, Xi Zhicai, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou finally arrived from Julu and brought 500,000 catties of grain and tens of thousands of taels of silver.
In the face of the current situation where there is money and nowhere to buy food, even the great power of Xi Zhicai has no idea, but fortunately, the people saw that such a large amount of food was transported at once, which made their enthusiasm for work unprecedentedly high, no matter what kind of work they did, they were particularly buried.
This night, Liu Yi had dinner with the princess of Changshe, and Gan Qian was also by his side.
The princess of Changshe saw that Liu Yi seemed to have something on her mind, but she just moved the chopsticks twice and stopped eating, and couldn't help but ask Ailang with concern: "Bad guy, what is your problem during this time?" Eat and eat, what do you think about more? ”
"Hehe, it's okay, I just thought, now that there is not much food in our base, how can we get food to let these tens of thousands of people tide over the difficulties, as long as there is a harvest of grain, it will be easy to do." Liu Yi has really had a headache these days, and when he heard the princess of Changshe ask, he subconsciously smiled bitterly.
"Oh, forget it, you and Mrs. Gan eat slowly, and I'll go to Mr. Xi and Lord Tian Feng to discuss some things." After Liu Yi finished speaking to the princess of Changshe, he suddenly realized that these things should not be said in front of these women, in fact, it was a big deal that Liu Yi sent troops to see if there were any bandit and bandit dens nearby, and how much food might be able to get if they were defeated.
"Grain? Don't don't, don't leave yet, didn't Mr. Naxi send hundreds of thousands of catties of food two days ago? Why is there a shortage of food? "The princess of Changshe is with Gan Qian during the day, it is difficult to see Liu Yi for a day, without Liu Yi to play with her, she is also a little bored, listening to Liu Yi's tone, it seems that there is really something wrong, and she can't help but pull Liu Yi with one hand, and don't let Liu Yi leave like this.
"Now there are more than 50,000 people in the base, and those hundreds of thousands of catties can only be consumed in ten days, and there is at least one or two months before the grain harvest, and there is at least a grain gap of more than two million catties in two months......," Liu Yi had to say in detail.
"Oh, I see." The princess of Changshe was relieved, but she continued: "Hey, just go buy it, I still have some here if I don't have any money, so Geng Xian didn't dare to ask for my money and things, and they were all sent back to me." ”
"It's not a matter of money, the main thing is that there is no place to buy food if you have money, the entire Youzhou area, almost all of them are fighting in the north, who still has so much food? In addition, in the nearby counties, I am afraid it is difficult for anyone to have so much grain for sale. ”
"Huh? That's ......" The princess of Changshe let go of Liu Yi after listening to Liu Yi's explanation, but she herself frowned, as if she was thinking about something.
Liu Yi saw that she had nothing to say, so he turned around and wanted to leave.
"That's not right! The Yi family in Yicheng must have food for studying, if the Yi family has no food, then it is estimated that no one will have food in the entire Youzhou land. Just when Liu Yi went out, the princess of Changshe suddenly said with a little joy: "Yes! It's the Yi family, if you go to find the people of the Yi family, you will definitely be able to buy food by studying. ”
"What? Yicheng Yijia? Does the Yi family have food? When Liu Yi heard this, he asked in surprise.
