After thinking about it carefully, Ling Feng suddenly realized that in addition to what Huang Linggong had just said, he also sent Pang Yi 300,000 quintals of military rations and 300,000 taels of gold, but I am afraid that there is not much gold left now. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Ling Feng asked, "You can tell me the real number, how much is left in the original warehouse." ”

Huang Ling said fairly: "My lord, there are still 400,000 quintals of grain, 300,000 taels of gold, and 4 million taels of silver. ”

Ling Feng breathed a sigh of relief and chuckled, "Hehe... Isn't this quite a lot, why is there no more, Qin Wang Immortal Brew can raise the price from now on, and stabilize the price to seven hundred taels of silver a bottle, I think it should be enough. ”

"My lord, it's not enough."

Huang Ling said: "We now own the entire northern Xinjiang, and the harvest of the three northern counties can basically be self-sufficient, plus subsidies to Yu Qinglong's department, while Huai County and Surabaya County need us to supply, at least from now until next year's autumn harvest." ”

"A mere 400,000 quintals of military rations is enough for the military at most, and last month I just sent 50,000 quintals of grain to Huai County and Surabaya County, which is estimated to be insufficient. And we now have to receive millions of displaced people from the imperial capital, my lord, this is more than a million people, even if each person has a mouthful of gruel, the food required is a huge number, alas.... ”

Huang Linggong is not worried about this, Huai County and Surabaya County will still need a large amount of grain seeds and countless laborers when they plough next spring, so that they can cultivate and farm the fields, so the amount of grain needed will be incredible.

Being said by Huang Linggong, Ling Feng couldn't help frowning, now is not what it used to be, when there was only one county in the past, not to mention 400,000, even if there were only 40,000 loads of military rations, he felt that he was very rich, but now even if he had 400,000, he couldn't make ends meet.

Thinking carefully about Huang Linggong's words, thinking that there were millions and countless refugees crowding here in the imperial capital, Ling Feng's head was dizzy, so it seemed that food was indeed not enough.

Ling Feng thought for a moment and asked, "Then what do you think?" ”

Huang Linggong seemed to have made up some kind of determination, and said: "Lord, we must not accept those displaced people now, otherwise there will be endless troubles, thinking that the imperial capital is rich and prosperous, and the people are safe and happy, it is better for us to send troops to leave the displaced people on the boundary of the imperial capital, and the displaced people will not be hungry." ”

"Hehe... Huang Linggong, why don't I listen to this like what you said? ”

Ling Feng smiled: "Millions of homeless people, this is a million lives, you don't want to save them?" ”

Huang Linggong really wanted to save him, but he couldn't do anything, there was really no way, so he came to see Ling Feng, hoping to have a proper way.

Huang Ling said fairly: "Isn't there no way for me, the people should be saved, but we don't have that ability now, even if we don't save the millions of displaced people, Huai County and Surabaya County also need a lot of food relief, and the people of these two counties also need relief, before Pang Yi left, he turned these two counties into a cruel scourge, and even the family did not show mercy.... ”

Speaking of which, he didn't say any more, anyway, it was miserable, and it was hard to say.

Ling Feng was silent, at this time he was secretly glad that he was fortunate that he didn't listen to the words of the generals and started a war with Yang Xiong, otherwise he didn't know how many people would starve to death on the Kaiyuan realm, once the war started, the Kaiyuan treasury would not be able to give relief, what a scene should it be for the millions of displaced people from Surabaya, Huaijun, and the imperial capital.

The most terrifying thing is that the war with Yang Xiong will not be completed in a while and a half, and it will take at least two years to fight, and within two years, I am afraid that Kaiyuan and the three northern counties will be affected.

Of course, fortunately, there was no war, not only did not go to war, but also signed a contract with Yang Xiong, how wise and wise the original decision was.

The most important thing now is to solve the current food problem, Ling Feng asked: "Huang Linggong, if you want to save the million displaced people from the imperial capital, plus Huai County and Surabaya County, together with Huai County and Surabaya County, together to support the autumn harvest next year, how many silver taels and grain will you need?" Let's start with the number. ”

"This..."

Huang Linggong seemed to hesitate and asked, "Lord, do you really want to save those homeless people?" ”

"You don't think you should save it?"

"It's time to save it, but we don't have the ability to save it, so please think twice."

Ling Feng didn't know, but if he had to abandon millions of people, if this reputation spread, it would not sound good, and it would be different from the previous style of doing things.

Ling Feng said: "The people of the imperial capital are in this danger, the first thing that comes to mind is me, they all came to Kaiyuan, why didn't he go to the Western Xinjiang and come to me to Kaiyuan?" Because he trusts me and trusts King Qin, they have traveled more than 2,000 miles to come here, and if I send a large army to drive them back again, do you think it is appropriate...? ”

Huang Linggong smiled bitterly and calculated: "Then if you want to save the people who came from the imperial capital, you will need more food and silver..." ”

"The food and money we have in our hands now must not be touched again, we must keep to support hundreds of thousands of troops, and we must also prepare for emergencies, Huai County and Surabaya County should need at least 300,000 quintals of grain in order to survive the coming year, as for the displaced people from the imperial capital, if they all move into Surabaya and Huai County, they will also need 300,000 quintals of grain, and if they help them build houses and implement tuntian in Huai County and Surabaya County, they will need more than 100,000 quintals of food, which is just the demand for food, and gold... Gold doesn't need to be in a hurry, with the support of King Qin's immortal brew, it should be able to get through. ”

Ling Feng took a deep breath and said, "In other words, I still have 700,000 quintals of grain in Kaiyuan?" ”

"Exactly."

Huang Linggong replied.

This can stump Ling Feng, if it is more than 100,000, you can still make it up, it's a big deal for Zhang Guozhong to think of a way to mobilize the big families from all over the world to donate together, and he will definitely be able to make up this number, but now it's 700,000 dans, even if the big families in the world donate together, I'm afraid it won't help.

Therefore, if you want to save the people, unless you think of another way, it is best to come up with another one like Qin Wang Xianzhuo, who will get rich overnight, and quickly, otherwise when the food arrives, the displaced people will starve to death.

This can make Ling Feng very worried, if it is to make money, he has some methods, but if it is to make food, it will be difficult, you must know that in this kind of troubled times, food is the most precious, in addition to growing in the ground, where can you get it, even if you spend money to buy it, you can't buy it.

Stunned, Ling Feng said, "You can retreat first, and when you go back, you will gather the officials of the Department of Internal Affairs to think about it and come up with a plan." ”

"Oh yes, let the counties of Kaiyuan post a list and tell those displaced people from the imperial capital to go to Surabaya County and Huai County, just say that Surabaya County and Huai County have porridge to eat, and when they get there, they will have a way to live."

"In addition, Wu Zhi of Huai County and Sun Jian of Surabaya County were informed, and let the two of them lead the officers and soldiers of the two counties to work day and night to build private houses for the displaced people to live in, and they must be built within three months."
