As for buying grain at ten times the price, is it still expensive when the food shortage breaks out and cannibalism is combined?

Moreover, when businessmen with a keen sense of smell bring in large quantities of grain, market levers will also work. Meng Jiucheng is ready to introduce a competition mechanism in due course, so that grain prices will naturally fall. Another point is that you can buy grain with real money in the early stage, and you can also exchange it for northern goods in the future.

As for what northern goods, Meng Jiucheng already had a rough plan in mind. It's just that it takes time to research and manufacture.

After sending Zhu Ming and the others away, Meng Jiucheng could be regarded as having some leisure. And the so-called leisure is just not to work on the case.

According to Meng Jiucheng's request, the soft sister system left a few pieces of pure transparent crystals on the case, and said: "Ten times the price to buy grain, in fact, it is not too high." When Mongolia attacked gold, the grain road was cut off, the price of grain in Zhongdu soared, and three catties of silver could not buy three liters of rice! ”

"Gold and silver are a kind of food, and it is more cost-effective to exchange treasures for food, and maybe you can earn it!" Meng Jiucheng held the crystal and looked at the sunlight to observe its transparency.

Grinding lenses and making telescopes with crystal is not something that can be used on a large scale. Therefore, Meng Jiucheng felt that secrecy was not necessary, and it was worth the money to exchange it for a thousand gold.

"Soap, glass, perfume, ......" Soft Girl listed a batch of items, and said with a smile: "Aren't these all things that can make a lot of money from traversers, and they can be made in large quantities, so don't you have any telescopes?" ”

"It's easy to say, but it's not easy to build." Meng Jiucheng smiled and said: "Time is the most precious now, and when it stabilizes in the future, I will naturally have the energy to engage in scientific research in the same way!" ”

"How long will it be? In a few months, the two major defeats of the Red Jacket Army will follow one after another, how do you deal with it, are you ready? The soft girl seemed to remind and asked questions as if she was testing.

Meng Jiucheng actually didn't think about it, he only planned to expand his strength and arrange the layout according to the actual situation. After all, history is history, and the records of the characters are not entirely accurate, and they are also mixed with the personal feelings of the author.

For example, Yang Miaozhen, some history books say that he is deceitful and plagiaristic, and the derogatory meaning is obvious. But imagine that in the turbulent times and war-torn times, if you are not smart or brave, how can you follow his brother's ambition and win the support of the old department?

There is also Li Quan, who is assessed by the history books as a general of the peasant rebel army to a careerist who expanded his personal power, and later openly opposed the Song and called him a traitor. But the reason for the matter is very tortuous, Li Quan had the absolute decision of "I'd rather be a Jianghuai ghost than a Jin Dynasty person" before. After that, he was trapped in Qingzhou by the Mongolian army, fought hundreds of battles, and insisted on more than a year before the food was exhausted.

As for the Southern Song court, when they heard that he was trapped, they did not think of rescue, but they plotted against their troops and dependents in Chuzhou in the rear, killed his brother and his concubine, and wiped out his subordinates in Chuzhou.

Meng Jiucheng started from the thinking of later generations, and had some sympathy for Li Quan's rebellion against the Song Dynasty.

Is treason tantamount to treason? Can the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty, which was in a corner of peace and did not want to make progress, represent the country? If it weren't for the incompetence and decay of the Zhao family, could the people of the Song Dynasty fall into the hands of Yidi and suffer from poison?

Therefore, Meng Jiucheng thought a lot about the problem of the soft sister system, but he couldn't give a clear answer for the time being.

"Although I don't want to be their enemies, I will do things that are happy to be loved by relatives and enemies." Meng Jiucheng groaned and said, "But if the people they lead are robbers who rob houses, I won't be polite to them." When you come to my territory, you have to keep my rules. ”

"Head-to-head conflict, they won't be your opponents." Soft Sister said with certainty: "If you can merge one of them, your strength will be even stronger." I know you don't like to be attached. Sometimes, however, it is a flexible strategy for me to use for the time being. ”

Meng Jiucheng thought for a while and said, "I can accept some people's affiliation, but I won't tolerate others. Even if the Red Turban Army loses in the end, the issue of principle will not change. ”

"Red Turbans, hehe, are you superstitious, or do you have to plagiarize?" The soft girl asked with a sneer.

When it comes to this issue, Meng Jiucheng can't help but laugh.

In the general direction, China's dynasties have had a virtue since the Han Dynasty. From the front to the back, they are all in the order of the five elements, you conquer me, and I will conquer you again. This is both a psychological effect and a justification for replacing it.

From the small aspect of the Red Jacket Army, the Jin country belongs to gold, and the only way to get gold is to use fire. And the color of the fire is red, wearing a short red jacket to resist the gold soldiers, which has both a psychological effect and a sense of showing the determination to resist the enemy!

"Since it was known as the Red Jacket Army at the time of the incident, there must be some similarities!" Meng Jiucheng replied with a smile: "The red jacket is too feibu, and the red scarf is more suitable." In fact, I also thought about wearing a red armband, but if I want to call it the Red Sleeve Army, I lack domineering and might, but it seems to be - hehe. ”

"Riding a horse and leaning on the bridge, full of red sleeves." The soft girl smiled happily, "There are both heroic and chic, and I won the fall of the women in the building, I think you should like it more." ”

"Haha, those who know me, soft sisters." Meng Jiucheng also laughed, "Wake up to the power of the world, drunk and lying on the knees of beauties, I want to do what I want." ”

……………

It was nearly noon, and there was still work on the construction site outside the town.

Zheng Ruxin and Mrs. Ming came to the site of the women's engineering team, and when they were still far away, they saw a dusty and dry scene, but it was noisy and chaotic.

It turned out that Meng Jiucheng formulated the method of settling by the amount of work, and there were strong men among the displaced people who took the lead, brought their own team, contracted the project, and did a good job.

Zheng Ruxin and Ming Niangzi feel that women can do the same, and they naturally don't do as much as men, but speaking in terms of the amount of work, it is also fair and reasonable, so that women can also earn some money.

Therefore, after the two of them had discussed it, they put up a notice and attracted more than 100 women. After the registration and selection, two engineering teams were set up and foremen were appointed.

But the actual situation is obviously not as simple as they think, and they feel chaotic when they look at the scene.

At this time, Zhang Niangzi, as the designated foreman, was shouting with a dry mouth and a hoarse throat, when she saw Zheng and Ming coming over. hurriedly ran over, and when they came to the two, they couldn't speak for a while, they looked helpless, and they blinked their eyes vigorously, choking out tears and not falling.

Zheng Ruxin was in a bad mood, and when he saw this chaos, he wanted to get angry. But when I saw that Mrs. Zhang's face was full of dust, and she was washed away by sweat one by one, and she also showed an aggrieved look, it was really angry and ridiculous, and she snorted heavily, but she didn't know what to say about her.

Zhang Niangzi saw that Zheng Ruxin was displeased, and became more and more aggrieved and uneasy, lowered her head, and was speechless.

Ming Niangzi was more calm, and asked: "If you have any questions, just say it, and Zheng Niangzi and I can also help you think of a way." ”
