Chapter 41 Grain Transportation

Lao Shengkun was taken aback, first showed an incredible look, then realized, and finally remained silent, unable to calm the surging heart in his heart for a long time, if this conspiracy is true, it is really shocking to him, if an army established to protect them unites with pirates and plunders the common people, the world is so dark, how can this place live?

"Why are they doing this, isn't that hurting themselves?" Lao Shengkun said flatly, looking very disappointed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Everyone has greed, especially those who have power, greed will become a habit, according to a soldier's monthly thirty copper coins and fifteen catties of food, the total value of hundreds of people together is a lot." I discussed it seriously, my eyes fixed on Lao Shengkun's eyes, if he had any evil thoughts, I think I could always see a clue.

Lao Shengkun stared at me very strangely, with an unbelievable look in his eyes, and said to me: "You don't seem to be in a big grade, but the reason you understand is that an old man like me may not be as good as you." Lao Shengkun turned a deaf ear to my suggestion and said a word.

"I like to read books, and I learned these things from books, and I just feel them." I humbly laughed.

"Clever and witty, humble and studious, calm and careful, the master can get your help, it is really time to operate." Lao Shengkun complimented me and said, "Now that I buy grain from Hailing County, it is not a problem to eat." ”

I looked at Lao Shengkun strangely and said: "It's just not a problem for the time being, it depends on the situation in the future, as soon as the grain merchants heard that the refugees from Wusu County were pouring into Donghai County, what do you say they would do." ”

Lao Shengkun suddenly woke up and exclaimed: "They will definitely hoard grain and sell it at a price, but I am afraid that even if it is speculated, it will still be low." ”

I sighed and looked at the potted plant on the tea house, which was a small deformed tree, with its branches bent and bent, but the evergreen leaves were shining, and it was so vigorous, could it be the magic of nature?

And what about people, why is it not easy to survive and wars are frequent?

What was Lao Shengkun thinking? They used to have no worries about food and clothing, but now they are afraid that they hate me and Laubo deeply, and will they raise us, then we will have no way out, only a war of destruction.

Suddenly, a lightning bolt illuminated the yard as bright as white, and the lightning disappeared and was as dark as ink, and it seemed that there was rain tonight, and it was heavy rain, so it was getting hotter and hotter, and if this was the case, there was usually heavy rain, and if there were pairs of ants moving in the corner, dragonflies flying low, heavy rain was certain.

A thunderclap exploded from the sky, shaking the whole world, the eardrums buzzed, the heart jumped, the timid were frightened, a wind blew in from outside, and the oil lamp shook more than once, if it was bigger, the fire would be extinguished.

I don't talk about it with Lao Shengkun anymore, I really don't have the mood to talk about it, this rain really makes me upset, I don't know how long this rain will be, if it's a few days in a row, do I have to sit here and wait leisurely, this rain is falling day and night, crops are really sinned, people are also sinned.

Although the mood is not good, but falling asleep is surprisingly fast, I have insomnia, irregular sleep, since I fell asleep peacefully, I am also at ease, the next day I woke up, hurriedly got up and ran outside the house to see, whether it is still raining, fortunately the rain has already stopped, the ground is dry.

Looking up at the sky again, the sky is clear, and there are no signs of heavy rain, so I drove the carriage into Hailing County again, and I don't know how capable Lao Jun is, whether he can buy grain at a low price from the mercenary businessmen, I was thinking about this problem all the way, I could have lived in Hailing County, but I was afraid of attracting attention, it is better not to live in Hailing County, and be careful to sail the boat for ten thousand years, this sentence will not be wrong.

Driving the carriage to the outside of Hailing County, I went straight to the county governor's mansion to visit to see how he purchased grain, no matter how much he received, first pull back to the Jidongguan camp and then talk about it, this weather makes me worried and rest assured.

Facts have proved that Lao Jun's appeal in Hailing County is still very strong, and the grain is beyond my expectations, almost two wagons of grain, which have been transported out of the city by manpower, and should still be on the way, but the price is a bit outrageous, almost four times what I bought in Weizi Village.

Originally, a wheat steamed bun only needed one copper coin, and a pound of wheat was five copper coins, according to the calculation that one silver coin is equal to fifty copper coins, and one gold coin is equal to thirty silver coins, three thousand catties of grain need fifteen thousand copper coins, and a total of ten gold coins are needed, and the bag of gold coins given yesterday happened to be ten.

But now the price of grain is soaring, this time another ten gold coins were paid, 100 catties of grain now need 10 silver coins, nearly 3,000 catties of grain need 20 gold coins, one person in the army eats one pound of food a day, more than 300 people eat 3,000 catties of food, can only last ten days, each person eats three catties a day, only enough to eat for three days.

The gold coins that Lao Bo put in Lao Shengkun's house are about 500 gold coins and about 300 silver coins, if the current grain price can last for more than half a year, but if the price rises sharply, I don't know how high it will be, it is estimated that it will not be long to eat, and there will be grain to buy.

I don't know how I want to raise food, how the rice harvest I planted, and it depends on the actual results, and the hope is too good now, and this is the only place where I feel very hopeful, otherwise I will be desperate to collapse.

Lao Jun arranged for a slave to take me to the place outside the city where the grain was stored, it was a commoner's house, the brick house looked very sturdy, and the condition should be quite good, it was the house of a relative of Lao Jun, and when I arrived there, all the grain had been moved into the yard, and I heard that it was going to be moved out and loaded again.

The civilian was not very disgusted, but helped load the car, without saying a word, it seems that it was handed over in advance, I don't know if there is a benefit, I think about whether to give some, but it is not good to shoot, I want to talk about it next time, I actually developed the concept of giving benefits in everything, and the habit of bringing it over the earth.

Driving a carriage drawn by two horses seems to be a lot easier, but in fact it is still very boring and difficult, the road is still not easy to walk, sometimes I have to take a long detour in order to take a flat mountain road, but now I will not take a bad road, the ability of the mountain people to walk is very good, which makes me impressed with him.

On the way back, I still passed by the Lao Gong's house, and I still didn't buy a big cattle, and there were hundreds of catties of grain purchases, but I couldn't take them away this time, because Lao Jun's still had 1,500 catties not to carry, and the carriage could pull 1,500 catties.

I have to consider whether to make a carriage to transport grain, next time I don't plan to transport grain in person, if it is not a very important meeting and discussion, I think it is necessary to discuss with Lao Jun, this time I have taken Dashan to see Lao Jun, and in the future, this errand matter will be left to him.

The carriage pulled 1,500 catties of grain, and I and Dashan could no longer sit on the carriage to increase the weight of the horse, and we walked back all the way, tired enough, and the shoes on our feet were also rotten.

Donghai County blocked the trade in the food of the Fire Moon people, and they were still not so strict about dressing, and they could buy shoes, clothes, tents, sickles, hoes, and seeds, which is why the Fire Moon people had difficulty surviving until now, if they really didn't care about anything about the Fire Moon people, it was estimated that they would have starved into white bones.
