Grain is a bottomless pit.

Regardless of whether Liang Shanbo, who has been growing for less than four years, is ready or not, he must face a fact that is both glorious and heavy:

That is, there are now more than seven figures of people pointing to the cottage to eat. Maybe in less than half a year, no, maybe in the next three or four months, that number will exceed two million.

Since he came to Tokyo to cry poor, it is not necessary to talk about the glory, but only how serious the impact of these millions of people will be on logistics.

As we all know, there are now four states in Yangsan, and more than 70% of the land suitable for cultivation on the peninsula is considered, but the cruel reality is that except for Jeju Island, which is self-sufficient and has a slight surplus, the other three states should not be considered.

To say that the stick started a civil war, it is definitely the only opportunity to show the vicious side of human nature (fighting with others can only contribute jokes), at the moment, the land south of Kaesong, Han Anren first scorched the earth, and afterwards Li Ziqian scorched the earth again, and tossed it again and again, except for Hanzi County (Qianluozhou) under the rule of Qiu Xi, there is no need to count on this year's harvest in other places.

There is no hope for the existing land, and it can only be supplemented by outsiders.

Although Yangsan has been vigorously absorbing the grain and grass circulating among the Song people, the higher and higher grain prices and the depletion of grain sources available for sale in the grain-producing areas around the sub-villages have cast a lingering haze over the alleviation of the current situation in Goryeo.

There is a saying that there is no food and instability. In fact, the Great Song immigrants and the natives of Goryeo who were allocated acres of land can say that no matter how much they get benefits, they will also see hope that they will try their best to hold on and work with the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate to survive this period of pre-dawn darkness. But the hundreds of thousands of Goryeo captives are different, if they suddenly stop their hanging food, not to mention the efficiency of repairing the city and paving the road, it is difficult to guarantee whether the dog will jump over the wall in a hurry.

Therefore, the issue of food is always the most critical issue. At this time, it is related to whether the newly-born Andong Metropolitan Protectorate can take root completely!

What to do? You can't pin your hopes on the so-called Dawei country that doesn't know what's going on, and expect that there will still be a huge amount of grain and grass seized, right? I don't know how many 10,000 mouths there are in the north, pointing at the "Song Army" to fight over!

But how can a living person suffocate urine!

The captain of the transport team Gao Yu is dead, and the captain of the transport team, Zhao Ji, is still there!

The official grain reserves of the Song State have always been abundant, except for the behavior of the rats guarding and stealing, the official grain and the private grain merchants are basically two ways. In other words, at present, Wang Lun is planning to use the Liangshan channel to purchase grain and grass from the people, and on the other hand, to see if he can buy grain from the Song Dynasty Guancang on a large scale in the name of Goryeo.

After all, only the Great Song Dynasty court could raise the massive amount of grain and grass needed by Liangshan in a short period of time. But then again, in fact, this is also a gift of money to the Great Song Dynasty, which is definitely a mutually beneficial deal. Even if there are political factors in it, 10 million stone grain and grass is at least 20 million or 30 million Guan Wen business, which is definitely the largest single business in the world! Even the Song Kingdom, which has the largest financial revenue in the world, cannot be unmoved by this huge amount of money.

It was Cai Jing who questioned Jin Fushi's envoy on the spot if he had nothing to say, and Jin Fushi also patted his chest, saying that the advance payment of 100,000 taels of gold for grain purchase had been brought and could be traded at any time. Immediately, he promised to pay a shipload of grain in Mingzhou in the future, and Cai Jing, who was called the old man, was also quite moved, and finally could not refuse this "acquisition offer".

Of course, the happiest person at this time belongs to Zhao Ji. Thinking that he has spent a lot of money in recent years, although Cai Jing is a rake who holds money, and is good at collecting and scraping people's fat and people's cream, but he can't stand the speed of Zhao Ji's defeat, and now there is a huge amount of money that can revitalize the grain piled up in the granary in the south of the Yangtze River, and the luxurious days can continue to live carefree, who would be unhappy?

Therefore, after Zhao Ji was shocked by the number of 10 million stones for a moment, he instantly winked at his Cai Qing, what he was worried about was not whether Da Song could get this amount of grain and grass at all, but whether it was reliable for you to speak in Korea? Can you afford such a huge sum of money?

Cai Jing is more expert and professional than Zhao Ji, knowing that now with Liangzhejiang Road and Jiangnan East Road, he can steadily take over this "big order", you must know that the combined grain output of these two roads has already exceeded 100 million stones. He even had the impression that in Suzhou alone, the tax grain in the year before Zhao Ji ascended the throne reached an astonishing 600,000 stones, let alone now, more than ten years later? In addition to supplying six million Shicao grain to Kaifeng Mansion in the capital every year, these two roads also have a large part of the surplus, which is stored in the local area.

Therefore, after Jin Fushi showed some confidence, the atmosphere was more harmonious, although the monarchs and ministers of the Song Kingdom cherished their faces, and did not bargain at the wine banquet. It's just that the dinner party that was about to end was extended for more than an hour for no reason, and it was almost the end of the day.

The senior officials accompanying the banquet were basically elderly people, and after Zhao Ji, Cai Jing and other heavyweights left the stage, they dared to yawn and not hide their fatigue.

Cheng Wanli, who has not been in office for a few months, is still young among the bigwigs, and at this time he is still relatively energetic, and after the dismissal, he greeted his colleagues in twos and threes, went out of the palace, and went home in a sedan chair.

The reason why it is called home, in addition to the warm feeling, is that this courtyard is extremely incompatible with his identity, but it is difficult to call it a "house". It turned out that when this hot official returned to Beijing, Tong Guan had already gone on an expedition, and Cheng Wanli was not a swaggering person, so he didn't put any effort into "living".

This courtyard was not far from the Imperial Palace, and after a period of delay in the streets of Tokyo, Cheng Shilang's palanquin finally stopped.

"Daddy!"

A crisp female voice came from the porter, Cheng Wanli only felt that the beauty was in his heart, and the waiting of the baby girl was enough to drive away his tiredness of the day. (To be continued......)
