Chapter Seventy-Three: About Food

"Ding-dong! Ace Strategist System, Mission Notice: Please send the Golden Gun Pill to those who need it within a month! Mission accomplished! Mission accomplished! Please ask the host to receive the reward...", the voice of the system appeared suddenly, and Li, who was eating barbecue tiger meat, almost choked to death;

Under the pretext of going to the toilet, Li slipped to a place where no one was, closed his eyes and entered the system hall, and received a gold coin, and the patterns on the slot machine have also become six categories of random rewards;

"Ding Dong!" , A crisp sound, Li put the gold coins into it, the random reward of the accidental surname is very large, and it is also the most unreliable one, the last time Li asked for the head of the Taishang Laojun, the result really came a pill, although it is a powerful aphrodisiac, now it seems that an aphrodisiac in exchange for a super general, the value is very great!

So, Li thinks that as long as these things are used well, no matter what is useful, this time he didn't ask for anyone, so... It's very tragic, he chose to wear clothes, if you want to say a night pearl, a feather fan or something! It's a hundred taels of gold!

Depend on! After taking a sip, Li was depressed, he is now one of the most bullish characters around Master Yuan, as long as he speaks a hundred taels of gold, Master Yuan will not be stingy, what do you want him to do?

Li, who had a depressed face, shook his head and returned to the campfire, sullen;

Mao Jue stretched out his hands to smoke beside the flame to warm himself up, and asked in a deep voice, "Xiaoxian..." Damn, why do you always feel like you're calling myself? That's a good name, little sir! Have you already made plans for the resettlement of displaced people? ”

Li Kai came to his senses and nodded slightly: "I have made some plans, after the winter, the flood in Nanyang will be temporarily subsided, but it is still one of the biggest disasters, I plan to use the way of work relief to resettle some people;

In addition, Yuan Gong had already collected a large amount of land from various scholars, squires, and merchants, and he could lease the land to them, distribute farm tools for free, intercept livestock, and implement tuntian! There are also tasks for them to do, such as repairing the walls and reclaiming wasteland, and they will be paid;

It can ensure that everyone will have food and a house to live in, and the conditions may not be too good, but it can be regarded as a way to settle them down first, these are all ideas that came up with under the next step, and I hope to advise! ”

"Thoughts?" , Mao Jue's eyes widened: "If this is a slight idea, there is no better idea, but it will be very troublesome to really implement these methods, especially before the autumn harvest next year, their food is not guaranteed... How can you work without food? ”

"This is also a problem that I have always found difficult to handle, because Zhang Shi, that bastard, stole all the relief grain allocated by the imperial court, and the grain storage in the entire Nanyang County is only 100,000 stones, how can this be enough to eat? He should have been killed in the first place, and it was really cheap to cut him! Li Kai scolded angrily;

"Then you sell officials...", Mao Jue vaguely reminded that he was reluctant to accept this matter in his heart;

Li Mouren rolled his eyes: "I said before, it's all changed to land, how can we resettle those displaced people without land?" You must know that it is much harder to snatch land from the nobles than to take their money! It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice!

I can't help it, I've been thinking about how to get food! A large number of displaced people were resettled before the year, and the rest was gradually implemented, which is the top priority! Brother Mao! Do you have any suggestions? ”

"How?" , Mao Jue shook his head: "I can't help it, either ask the court for it, or spend my own money to buy it, but in any case, all I need is a huge amount!" ”

"Yes! The population base is too large! I want to raise them... There are 500,000 known displaced people! Even if it is two meals of porridge per person a day, the food consumed is 4,000 stone of grain!

There are ten months until next year's autumn harvest, and more than 1.2 million stone of grain will be sold in more than 300 days, and there will be a shortage of 1 million stone! According to the market price of 10 wen per bucket of rice, one stone of rice is 100 wen, converted into gold... It also costs 100,000 catties! Oh, my God! Can the entire Han Dynasty be able to have so much gold? Inflation is too high, isn't it? ”

Li Kai was taken aback by his own calculations, it turned out that each bucket of rice in the market only needed four or five cents, but after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it skyrocketed by more than half, and the so-called market price of ten cents per bucket is also theoretical, and it may take more;

"Tsk! Oh, my God! Mao Jue was also speechless: "One acre of fertile land can only produce six stones of rice, and the next little field can only produce more than three stones... Even if you have money, it's hard to buy so much food! By the way – what is inflation? ”

"Well... Inflation! In the face of Mao Jue's eager eyes for knowledge, Li Mouren said hesitantly: "It's probably ... The real purchasing power is greater than the output supply, which leads to the depreciation of the currency, which leads to a sustained and widespread rise in prices over a period of time.

Let's put it this way, because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Taiping coins issued affected the numismatic system that has always been used, resulting in a flood of coins and rising prices... Anyway, it's not a good thing! ”

Obviously, Li Mou didn't know much about this thing, so he explained it hesitantly and then diverted the topic: "I won't tell you that we haven't done much about those corrupt officials and corrupt officials who have raided their homes and exterminated their families these days, and there is a lot of money and food that has been searched, but these are far from enough, we have to think of a way!" ”

"The land of the seven counties of Jingzhou has always been very rich, and the other six counties are like this, why is Nanyang like this? Why don't you ask Liu Jingsheng, the assassin of Jingzhou? Huang Zhong interjected on the side and said, he was born in Nanyang, and he also knows the current situation in Nanyang, which is very bad;

"It is precisely because of the conspiracy of Liu Jingsheng and Yuzhou's assassin Shi Kong Ling that the displaced people were driven to Nanyang, causing such a situation!" , Li Kai sighed helplessly;

"Why don't you ask him for it?" , Mao Jue's eyes lit up: "Spend money to buy a part, and ask Liu Jingsheng and Kong Ling for a part..." Although it is impossible to plug this gap, it can also be alleviated, and there is also an increase in the intensity of the suppression of bandits, who are so rich... No matter how small a grasshopper is, it's meat! ”

"Ask Liu Biao and Kong Ling for food... Is it possible? Li frowned, obviously thinking that this matter was not very reliable;

"Then it depends on the means! The means are strong enough, and it is not impossible! This Liu Biao has a false name, but he didn't expect it to be a villain who cries chickens and dogs, and if he doesn't cut a piece of meat on him, it's really cheap for him! Mao Jue licked her lips, her eyes getting brighter and brighter;

"Well... Reasonable! It does take some extraordinary measures! This matter should be well prepared, at least before the end of the year! It is time for the homeless to have a home and then a place to eat! Li, nodded thoughtfully;

When the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the weather was cold, two people who were calculating others occasionally let out a creepy laugh, waking up the sleeping guards...
